The Special "Class" Object in Java: RTTI and Reflection
The special "Class" object in Java is discussed and it is the base for Java to perform RTTI and Reflection. Sample code for RTTI and Reflection is given too.
"Class": The Special Class in Java
There is special class in Java named as "Class" based on which Java performs RTTI and possibly Reflection, one can treat it as the class for all the .class files, in the textbook the statement is still a bit confusing. Just treat "Class" as the general form for all the .class files which contain the attribute/methods/name/type (these are all metadata) of a class in Java. So each .class is an instance of this special class called "Class". There several important facts which I think worthy to highlight:
1) There is one "Class" object for each class that is part of your program, and each time you write and compile a new class, a single "Class" object (i.e., the instance of this special "Class" class) is also created and stored persistently in an identically named .class file. So treat it as a class of .class files would be easier to imagine what exact it is and do not be confused about it with a normal class in Java, the "Class" class is a class of all the defined classes in Java.
2) All classes are loaded into the JVM dynamically, upon the first use of a class. For example, if you have an Apple class in your program, then you will have a Apple.class file which is an instance of the special "Class" class (not an instance of the Apple class), and to make an instance of Apple class, JVM uses a subsystems called class loader. To make it clearer, we can call Apple.class as "Class" instance by "Apple.class = new Class()", and call anything created from "new Apple()" as "Apple" instance. So here is how it works: first JVM needs to load the Apple.class ("Class" instance) into memory. So it knows how to create "new Apple()", so Apple.class is used to create Apple class instance. Read carefully, I hope I explained things clearly here though the concepts are quite confusing.
3) The XXX.class is loaded into memory when the program makes the first reference to a static member of that class and constructor is also a static method of a class.
4) Java adopts Dynamical Loading , that is, a Java program is not completely loaded before it begins, but instead pieces of it are loaded when necessary. This is different from C++ which is a statically loaded language.
5) More concretely, the default class loader first checks to see if the "Class" object for that type (Apple.class) is loaded, if not, it finds the .class file and the bytes for the class are loaded and verified as well. Once the "Class" object (Apple.class) is in memory, it is used to create all objects of that type (new Apple()) .
6) "Class" class has a static method called forName("ClassName"), so statement like Class.forName("Apple") will try to load the Apple.class if it is not in the memory.
7) In the program, there is only on stance for the "Class" instance of each class, that is, there is only one instance of Apple.class, and if you use "Class c = Class.getName("Apple")" which is actually equivalent to "Class c = new Apple(). getClass()", in getName("xxx") xxx has to be the full package path as net.tech-wonderland.Apple, otherwise, it will report ClassNotFound exception.
Java RTTI
After knowing what is "Class" in Java, we can talk about Java RTTI now
1) In order to get Runtime Type inforation RTTI, first get a reference Class c = Class.getName("pk.Apple"), and we can use the methods in c like c.isInterface(), c.getSuperClass() to get any runtime type information interesting.
2) There are three different forms of RTTI:
- classic cast: (Circle)shape[i]
- the "Class" object representing the type of your object which could be queried for useful runtime information like the type name, like the superClass and so on
- instanceof to determine whether an object is an instance of a specific class type.
Java Reflection
1) Reflection is nothing magic actually, and it is still about run time class information. One interpretation of this Java reflection concept is: The name reflection is used to describe code which is able to inspect other code in the same system (or itself).
2) And the following are quoted from "Think in Java".
The class Class supports the concept of reflection, and there's an additional library, java.lang.reflect,with classes Field, Method, and Constructor (each of which implement the Member interface). Objects of these types are created by the JVM at run time to represent the corresponding member in the unknown class. You can then use the Constructors to create new objects, theget( ) and set( ) methods to read and modify the fields associated with Field objects, and the invoke( ) method to call a method associated with a Method object. In addition, you can call the convenience methods getFields( ), getMethods( ), getConstructors( ), etc., to return arrays of the objects representing the fields, methods, and constructors. (You can find out more by looking up the class Class in the JDK documentation.) Thus, the class information for anonymous objects can be completely determined at run time, and nothing need be known at compile time.
It's important to realize that there's nothing magic about reflection. When you're using reflection to interact with an object of an unknown type, the JVM will simply look at the object and see that it belongs to a particular class (just like ordinary RTTI), but then, before it can do anything else, the Class object must be loaded. Thus, the .class file for that particular type must still be available to the JVM, either on the local machine or across the network. So the true difference between RTTI and reflection is that with RTTI, the compiler opens and examines the class file at compile time. Put another way, you can call all the methods of an object in the "normal" way. With reflection, the .class file is unavailable at compile time; it is opened and examined by the run-time environment.
3) The following is an example of how to use Java reflection to get runtime method information and run a method without know the class type at compile time.
Say you have an object of an unknown type in Java, and you would like to call a 'unknownMethod' method on it if one exists. Java's static typing system isn't really designed to support this unless the object conforms to a known interface, so it means, we won't be able to call this method in the normal way like
UnknowClass inst = new UnknowClass();
But using reflection, as long as we have the reference to the object, we can find out if it has a method called 'unknownMethod' and then call it if we want. We can do similar coding as follows:
Method method = unknowObj.getClass().getMethod("unknownMethod", null);
method.invoke(unknowObj, null);
4) Some applications of the Java reflection could be using it with annotations. For example, Junit will use reflection to look through our classes for methods tagged with the @Test annotation, and will then call them when running the unit test.
More on Java Reflection
1) To use Java Reflection, one has to know the signature, i.e., the name of the method and the parameter list. The the question is why do we bother to use Java Reflection, i.e., invoke() to call the method, why don't we use obj.method(parameter list) to call it directly? The key of the answer to this question is: We don't know the method at compile time! We only know this at run time! So obj.method(parameter list) won't work at all.
2) Java Reflection could be convenient if we want to access private method or private members of the object. Of course, before using Java Reflection in such a case, you have to know the risk and security issues well in your mind.
3) You can find all the method names by Java Reflection.
4) I find Java Reflection might be useful to meet version backward compatibility. This happens say we updated our Java Code either adding or removing fields to some Class say Class A, and in the systems, there could be objects of Old A, we might want to detect whether the objects are of old format or of new format for compatibility concerns. This could be useful when Java objects need to be serialized and deserialized as byte stream.
The special "Class" object in Java is discussed and it is the base for Java to perform RTTI and Reflection. Sample code for RTTI and Reflection is given too.

Deal Ring is our Shark Tank style event where fund managers pitch to a panel of allocators that we call Ringmasters. The managers hope to land a meeting with a Ringmaster to discuss their fund for a potential allocation. The managers will be coached by Jim Rosebush prior to making their pitch. The audience will vote for their favorite manager using our mobile application with the Audience Choice Award going to the winner.
Participating managers will be coached by James Rosebush, Former Deputy Assistant to Ronald Reagan and Chief of Staff to the First Lady. This valuable session will utilize Mr. Rosebush's knowledge, and give the managers the skills and confidence to make their presentation in front of the panel of allocator judges, the Ringmasters.
Mr. Rosebush is the CEO of GrowthStrategy, a firm dedicated to both advising Family Offices on wealth management and providing coaching and training to leaders for effective crisis communication and public speaking.
The coaching session will focus on Mr. Rosebush's 7 Keys to a Perfect Pitch, where he develops the techniques required to make a winning pitch.
The Deal Ring will feature managers of various strategies.
The managers will have 5 minutes to make their presentation. During this time they will make their case for their strategy utilizing the teachings from their session with Mr. Rosebush.
After the presentation, the Ringmasters have 10 minutes to ask questions of the manager. The Ringmasters will then be asked whether or not they are interested in following up with the manager, or passing.
We are excited to bring audience participation into the presentations. Using the Global Fund Forum 2018 mobile app, members of the audience can vote for their favorite manager. Following the presentations, the electronic votes will be tallied and the Audience Choice Award will be handed out to the winner.
Deal Ring at GFF 2018 will be limited to 4 managers. Participating managers receive a coaching session from James Rosebush and a presentation slot in front of our panel of allocators (Ringmasters). That cost for one of the 4 manager presentation slots is $3,500.
"We had a great experience at the Global Fund Forum. The one-on-ones were very productive and we built fruitful and lasting relationships. Most surprising, however, was the impact of our participation in the Deal Ring. I participated because I loved the idea of the conference supporting local charities, but the benefits from both the opportunity to hone my 5-minute pitch as well as the visibility the event provided continue to be realized. I had three people request meetings or calls following the competition and I am approached at every conference by someone that saw my pitch - it was an unparalleled way to build and strengthen connections"

School of Physics & Space Research, University of Birmingham, Birmingham-UK
The joint European X-ray Telescope, JET-X, is one of the core instruments in the scientific payload of the Russian Spectrum Roentgen-Gamma-RG which is a high energy astrophysics mission. The JET-X structure is constructed from three carbon fibre tubular sections, and contains the instruments and acts as an optical bench. The forward section of the structure has a deployable door, which remains closed until the satellite has reached orbit. The function of the door is to protect sensitive optical surfaces from contamination and moisture from ground operations, during launch and early orbits operations. The door is fabricated from a honeycomb core faced with aluminium alloy skins. The door is approximately 1 m in diameter and weighs about 6 Kg only. The door body, the cutter assembly and the hinge assembly were designed to withstand the mechanical stresses arising during the launch environment. The door assembly was integrated to the main structure and vibration tests which simulate the conditions during the launch were conducted. These tests were: Sine, Random and Shock. This paper presents the door assembly design, the finite element modelling and the dynamic responses during the tests.

New Zealand is slipping further behind in e-commerce each week, says TUANZ chief executive Ernie Newman.
Newman has just returned from Ireland where he says the government has supported 30 companies to get their e-businesses started on condition they help other Irish firms.
"Government offers very proactive help in Eire and many other governments are doing the same thing," says Newman.
"Here, there is the promise of an e-commerce summit, now in November, but it keeps getting delayed and very little is happening. We are getting further and further behind each week," he says.
As well as a lack of government support, Newman says part of the problem is New Zealand has many small businesses and the cost of technology falls disproportionately on smaller firms.
TUANZ published a report on the subject in its June TUANZ topics and now plans two seminars to help tackle the problem.
The Wellington seminar is on July 11 and the Auckland seminar on July 12.
TUANZ says the seminar will offer a pragmatic review of e-business-to-business trading in New Zealand, focussing on high-volume transactions between regular trading partners.
It will provide a platform for the discussion and presentation of solutions, ideas, case studies, strategic models and practical advice for companies wishing to develop and/or improve supply chain management.
The seminar will also include an update of how New Zealand's uptake compares globally and perspectives on the future of wireless e-business, TUANZ says.

Boosted Dark Matter at Super-Kamiokande
This event is part of the Departmental Seminars.
Dissertation Committee: Kearns, Katz, Sushkov, Carey, Grant
There has long been ample evidence for the existence of dark matter. Based on observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background, dark matter accounts for about 25% of the energy density of the Universe. Beyond this, however, little is known about the properties of dark matter. Direct and indirect detection searches, as well as searches for dark matter produced at particle accelerators, have thus far all produced null results. I will present a brief history of dark matter experimental results, and then discuss a class of dark matter models called "boosted" dark matter. In these models, some small fraction of dark matter is produced at late times at relativistic energies, thus the name "boosted". I will then present the results of a search for boosted dark matter from the Galactic Center and the Sun at Super-Kamiokande.

SpotterRF Delivers First Non-ITAR Radar Force Protection Kit with Slew-to-Cue
SpotterRF Shield Mobile radar system provides lightweight man-portable turn-key camera cueing
SOFIC 2014 May 20, 2014 -- SpotterRF today announced its new Shield Mobile radar system for military, government and commercial use. Following on the announcement of its popular Shield robotic perimeter security Initiative, the SS Mobile provides U.S. military a non-ITAR-restricted system usable by allies after completion of a U.S. deployment. It further provides a low-cost, portable radar system that maximizes small force ability to detect, classify, communicate and respond to perimeter threats with slew-to-cue capabilities.
"Response has been very positive to our turn-key solutions with camera cueing to reduce overall system cost," states SpotterRF CEO Logan Harris. "This new Spotter Shield Mobile kit puts the power of radar and camera slew-to-cue surveillance into man backpackable kit that is easy for local forces to use and maintain."
Achieving a secure perimeter has never been easier, but an effective security system exhibits the following four criteria: reliably detect intruders that entered the perimeter day or night and in all types of weather; classify the intruder; communicate the existence of the intruder to the response team; and then respond to neutralize the threat prior to that threat inflicting damage. Spotter Shield Mobile provides the first three criteria in a commercial off the shelf, cost effective package.
The Shield Mobile enables up to 360-degree field of view up to 1500 meters regardless of weather, day or night. The system includes an embedded NetworkedIO server built-in with a rugged Ethernet hub that cues a low light PoE camera and creates other alarms. For more information about the system, visit http://spotterrf.com/slew_to_cue_commercial_force_protection.html.
At the heart of Spotter Shield systems, SpotterRF's proprietary NetworkedIO is the hardware and software that overcomes the difficulty and expense of connecting radar to other devices like Video Management Systems (VMS), cameras, email and alarms. SpotterRF and its resellers aim to bring this high-end targeting and tracking capability to a wide range of military and commercial applications including mobile small force protection, oil wells, oil drilling platforms, substations, dams, bridges and other mission critical environments.
Spotter compact radar units come in many sizes, weighs as little as 1.5 lbs. each, use less energy than a light bulb (approx. 8W each), and can communicate with standard web browsers and Google Earth. Training takes less than 30 minutes in the field.
About SpotterRF

Edition: 4literature -
Review number: 1011
At first, Sister Carrie seems to be a conventional novel in a nineteenth century mould, the story of a young woman who comes to the big city of Chicago to seek a life which is better than that of her upbringing. She stays with her sister while looking for work, at first in department stores but then in dressmakers after her lack of experience tells against her.
Things become decidedly more modern when Carrie is taken up by a fairly wealthy man, and goes to live with him as though they were married. She does this basically because her work is unfulfilling and her sister and brother in law dull to live with; Drouet offers her a greater freedom. In fact, Carrie spends the whole novel trying to find happiness by casting off the conventions of late nineteenth century American life.
Carrie's family are not very important in the novel; the title doesn't really refer to her relationship with her sister, who is hardly mentioned once she moves in with Drouet. Instead, I think it is inteded to say to the reader, "This could be your sister!" Carrie yearns to be free and to be happy, but she is forced into dull domesticity or boring uncongenial work if she remains within the conventional limits of respectable society. I don't know if this was Dreiser's intention, but to today's reader, Sister Carrie seems to be an early feminist novel.

In 1967, when Victor Jack, the Suffolk Counties Evangelist, was looking for a venue to hold a Tent Mission in Ipswich, Richard Jolley mentioned the field behind his home on the Rushmere Estate. So, in July 1968, Victor held a very successful mission for hundreds of children on the Dumbarton Road recreation field. Afterwards a Sunday School was started for these children, using St. Christopher's Community Hall, and the adults who helped with the Sunday School formed a new church, Rushmere Evangelical Fellowship.
The early leaders/elders of the church came from Brethren backgrounds, but this was a new start for Rushmere Evangelical Fellowship with a vision to worship God and share Jesus around the Rushmere location. Around 15 years later the church was renamed Rushmere Christian Fellowship (RCF).
As the numbers grew, the church soon moved to a more spacious location, Rushmere Hall School on Lanark Road, where it stayed until 1997. Once again, increasing numbers in the church meant that it had outgrown this school hall, so it moved to St Alban's Catholic High School, where it still meets today.

I don't care how you spin it, I am just not a winter person. I don't like the cold or the ice or the short days and long nights. I don't like having to bundle up in heavy coats. I don't like the way my hair gets so fly away in the dry air, and I don't like having to wear gloves which makes me even clumsier than I already am. I love the way everything looks right after a snow storm, but as soon as I look at the shovel leaning up against the porch door, I'm longing for spring.
Having said all that, let me add one more thing. I do love the night sky in the winter. The stars never look brighter than they do in winter. That cold, dry air that is my skin's worst enemy, causes those stars to sparkle like they never can in the humidity of summer.
No matter how cold it is, I always take a moment to look up on cold nights and see how many of the constellations I can recognize. I call out their names like greeting an old friend, "There's Orion!" and "Follow the star to Arcturus!". And all the time I know that I am not the one who really calls the stars. They do not appear for my benefit. They answer a higher call and serve a greater purpose.
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens; who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
Isaiah 40:26
The God that created such a dazzling display that we humans have been watching night after night for eons and still have not tired of, that God also looks down upon me and smiles with a tenderness that I cannot understand yet am grateful that it exists.
When I consider your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:3,4
The stars dance at His command. The sun sets and rises at His calling. The winds and the waves answer to Him. Hard to imagine that He can hold the universe in one hand and myself in the other. When I stray, He calls me back. When I walk straight, He holds me close.
Who am I that He should even notice?
I am His child.

My 4 week old (today) eats almost constantly. He was breast and formula fed up until this past Friday but due to low supply (I had none for my first son) I decided to go with just bottle. He eats 4 oz bottles every 1-1/2 to 2 hours. But in between feedings he cries for more. He could easily eat 6 oz at one feeding or a 4 oz every hour if I let him but I feel like that's too much. He doesn't spit up excessively. Just a little at some feedings. Idk what to do or why he wants to eat so much for such a little guy.

The first time I ever fingered and gave oral to my girlfriend was at a church camp. It was the first night of camp and we snuck off in the woods for a little private time. We stopped at a grouping of picnic tables and sat down on one of the tables. It was dark out and the moonlight was all there was to see by. According to the rules for the week members of the opposite sex were to be in groups of 4 or more if they were to be unsupervised...oops. Well, we started making out, and I started rubbing her pussy from the outside of her little blue cotton shorts. I could feel her getting wet, and I didn't want her to go back to the cabin with a big wet spot on her crotch, so I slid my hand inside her shorts. She told me to stop, but then I explained to her what I was doing and she let me go on. Well, I accidentally slipped my hand inside her panties instead and she let out a gasp. I felt bad, so I started to remove my hand; then she grabbed it and held it there. I slid a finger inside her and it felt so good. Then after fingering her I slid down and licked her pussy until she was about to scream. We stopped for fear of being spotted, and I fell asleep that night sniffing my finger that still smelled like her wonderful juices.

Sun's involvement with the anyquestions library help site for students stems from the National Library being a long-term Sun customer, says Australasian Sun chief Jim Hassell.
"They asked us whether we'd be interested in sponsoring this. As the company which started out as Stanford University Networks, we put a lot of money into education. About $15 million over the past year has gone into education, research and innovative start-ups in Australasia," says Hassell. The education emphasis is particularly marked in New Zealand.
"This is a fantastic project," he says. "With billions of sites on the internet [and] millions being added every week — and less being discarded than should be — it can be discouraging to a school student to try to find relevant and worthwhile content.
"Whatever the alleged strengths of search engines, librarians have the skills to assist [student] searches in a more intelligent and human way."
A Wellington library spokeswoman involved with the project (Computerworld, February 21) said the skill was not just in finding material but in discovering the student's real needs.
Hassell sees Sun's involvement as an investment both in education and future innovation — not just a simple branding exercise. "That approach doesn't work. When I was a student we all used DECs [Digital Equipment]. That didn't persuade us to buy DEC [later on]."
Sun is build up its New Zealand sales and support team, after the rift with SolNet. Business is growing at 15-20% a year. "We'll keep building [staff numbers] for at least the next 12 to 18 months," says Hassell.
Interest in Sun's Opteron offering — small-scale servers based on AMD chips — is strong. There is also interest in Sun's identity management suite and the company expects to sign a major, as yet unnamed, NZ customer for this product-set soon.
"Identification, authentication and security in a large population are big issues, particularly in areas such as retail, with many part-time and casual workers, and occupations with high staff turnover," says Hassell. "It becomes crucial to be able to 'switch on and switch off' individuals' access to information and premises.
"With telecomms companies delivering increasingly sophisticated forms of data through mobile phones and hand-held terminals, it is crucial [that] information does not go to the wrong person."
The Opteron has been particularly successful with New Zealand government agencies, says local client solutions manager John Mazenier. The ACC has acquired a number on the back of its Fineos case management software.
Sun also continues to enhance Solaris, with Solaris 10 featuring a number of the security features originally developed for Trusted Solaris, the implementation conceived for US government agencies.
Since Solaris 10 was released at the end of last month, as an open-source product, there have been more than half-a-million downloads — many for installation on non-Sun hardware. The operating system can run in several virtual copies, in secure partitions, concurrently, and is also strong on performance and scalability, says Hassell. A feature called Dtrace has been introduced to help diagnosis and unblock system bottlenecks.

Last week's Iowa Straw Poll in Ames is a good illustration of how our democratic system works and doesn't work, and why much of the actual influence it exerted has been replaced by the internet.
Michele Bachmann won the polling with 4,823 (28.6%) of the total 16,892 votes cast. Based on those paltry numbers Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, who got 2,293 votes, pulled out of the race. Meanwhile, Ron Paul, who is generally seen as having zero chance of winning an actual presidential election, won 4,671 votes to come in second. Rick Perry, who hadn't yet declared his candidacy but may have some small chance, had 718 write-in votes.
Based on these results and conventional wisdom the media anointed Bachmann and Perry as front-runners to become the eventual GOP pick. And of course that will now be taken as gospel by many of those considering whether to support one of the other candidates, adding to the snowball effect around that paltry core of 16,892 angry rural voters.
Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman got only 567 and 69 votes, respectively, and are being written off by pundits though they are the most likely to have a fighting (albeit very slim) chance against Barack Obama in an actual presidential election.
Of course Bachman — who has zero chance against Obama — is likely to take on increasing stature through the first four primaries which will take place between February 6 and 28, 2012, with a likely setback in New Hampshire on the 14th though Sarah Palin could upset her apple cart by entering the race and leaching away her Tea Party support.
In decades past candidates like Perry, Romney and Huntsman — who know they would do better than Bachman in the bigger winner-take-all states and have the ability to raise money there — would stay in the race. But now that the internet has become the surrogate for our traditional democratic process, they already face pressure to pull out. Those Tea Partisans are passionate and have a lot of time on their hands to squat and troll internet forums with their rants about taking America back. From whom and how many centuries back? It's hard to tell, but they're determined to make it happen.
And there's little to stop them given the usual low primary turnouts of about 10 – 20% in states like Iowa, Nevada and S. Carolina, though it's usually around 50% in New Hampshire. The most rabid and least reasonable people are generally doing the choosing of their party's candidates.
The internet may actually engender a presidential race between Bachman and Obama. It's pretty clear to me and most other reasonable people as to who would win that race, but that's beside the point. My point is that our democratic system — short-circuited by the internet and corrupted by the mass media's focus on sensationalistic candidates and causes — is often more of a circus for our amusement and distraction than an opportunity for well-informed citizens to choose among the best qualified candidates.
Our democratic system took a serious hit with the debt-ceiling fracas which made China's one-party system — which engineered three decades of double-digit growth — look like the more highly evolved system. Our next presidential election isn't likely to do much for the image of American democracy either, what with the Tea Party learning rapidly how to leverage the internet to put their far-right obsessions center stage in the American debate.

Businesses cannot afford to keep away from being online these days. Internet website marketing is actually an important approach to be able to market a company and assists them to reach out to more shoppers. It's also often more affordable compared to numerous standard marketing techniques, which suggests the business owner doesn't need to spend just as much to be able to reach brand new consumers.
One downside to internet marketing is it's constantly transforming. The tactics that could have worked effectively a few years ago are not going to work as efficiently now. Companies cannot merely generate a marketing program and forget about it. They will be required to ensure they keep up with what is modifying and make certain their own company changes to just how internet website marketing will adjust. This can enable them to always employ the latest techniques in order to reach brand-new shoppers as well as in order to help their business develop. A great way to accomplish this is to follow internet marketing experts on the internet and also to take notice when they post something essential.
Businesses who want to learn far more concerning web marketing and also concerning what they might wish to do to stay up-to-date on the newest tendencies can desire to ensure they'll take a look at Danny DeMichele on Twitter now.

Good news, all you people who silently move among the binary coding of this website:
We just lowered the prices of everything we're currently selling at the Store!
By, like, a lot.
If you scroll to the bottom of that page you'll also see something exciting: we're now selling copies of Monsters in French & Spanish!! We'd had our author's copies sitting about the place for a couple years now & figured we should get around to selling them sooner or later. The French edition, by l'Employe du Moi, is actually sold out, so this is the only place you can get them (until our few copies sell out here as well).
Also notice we've put up for sale a DVD we drew the case for, Cartoon College.
Sorry no new comics just yet — we've been wholly overwhelmed with other projects & also some chronic drawing-arm injuries that required us to slow our ink roll. We finally understand what Charles M. Schulz was talking about when he said cartooning was a young man's game…

Who is the leader of the Democrats? You would think that, nine months on from their loss in the presidential election, there would be some level of consensus. And you'd be wrong.
The latest instance of a Democrat blanking on party leadership came from Terry McAuliffe, Virginia governor and close associate of the Clintons. In an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, he was asked to name the party's leader at the moment.
It didn't take long for things to get super-awkward.
"I think there are many leaders of the Democratic Party," McAuliffe said.
"Give me a name, Governor. Give me a name," host Katy Tur insisted

So that it can provide effective and efficient legal services to members, the Bitcoin Foundation is streamlining the entire process. Thus, with the streamlined process the organization would be able to assist members of the Bitcoin community in getting legal help without any obstacles or issues whenever they would want.
Calling it 'Attorney Referral Service for Members' it will bring several rich features for the members. For instance, they would be able to get a free attorney referral service from the Bitcoin Foundation which has been delivering its services for the last couple of years to help Bitcoin companies.
The Bitcoin Foundation Has Traditionally Been Helping Members
Also, the Legal Advocacy Committee, working with the foundation's in-house attorneys that include General Counsel Patrick Murck, has successfully assisted numerous members with attorney searches in the past. Additionally, as the foundation maintains a growing list of attorneys based on various areas of expertise, members will get expert level legal services.
In its announcement through a blog, the Bitcoin Foundation said, "When the foundation's website is redesigned later this year, there will be a page on the website for attorney referral requests. Until that time, if you are a member and are interested in an attorney referral, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, with the subject line "Attorney Referral Request."
Members Asked to Be Specific About their Legal Issues
The announcement further says that the members sending the mail must also write that they are looking for an attorney in one or more of these areas: Civil litigation, Criminal / regulatory defense, Regulatory compliance, Tax, and Corporate / transactional (e.g., incorporation, acquisitions, and licensing).
According to the blog, members have choice to hire either pro bono assistance (i.e., the attorney will not charge them) or expect to pay the attorney should also be mentioned. However, the members are asked not to discuss their specific legal situation in the email. At the same time the foundation clears that it cannot and will not act as attorney for any member.
Thus, it looks the Bitcoin Foundation is making everything clear for members and says that it has already assisted "numerous" members in the past and maintains a "growing list" of attorneys dealing with nearly every relevant section of law. Many Bitcoin companies that have enrolled as member at the Bitcoin Foundation will be eligible for the services.

Indians And Karma
In a recent conversation the issue of karma came up in regard to the United States and the treatment of Indians. A non-Indian theorized that the problem's the United States is experiencing is a result of karma due to how we treated Indians.
Full disclosure here: I am an Indian, I am a citizen of an Indian Nation.
My retort to this was that it was a perfect example of what Gogol was describing in 'Dead Souls'. We will bemoan how we treated Indians yet we will continue to support the same policies that we are decrying as being so unfair.
What happened to Indians sources in a specific action by a specific President fulfilling the specific doctrine of a political party. Andrew Jackson specifically rejected a Supreme Court decision calling his policies unconstitutional, voided all that the constitution said about Indians and no President or congress since has ever looked back or returned to the constitution in regard to Indians. We institutionalized the corruption. I am always mystified by people who bemoan what happened to Indians yet seem to have no problem with just keeping on doing the same thing they decry as being so wrong.
I really do not get it. If you think what was done to Indians was wrong and evil (which it absolutely was) then why continue to support policies and politicians that perpetuate that evil today? Indians are not of the past, Indians are today. This is not a matter of karma, this is a matter of people continuing to support the same policies for the last 190 years. We will collectively pursue all other avenues except just doing the right thing then complain that the right thing was not done and we as a nation somehow deserve punishment for that.
It is not too late to do the right thing. To my point about dead souls and corruption – why not just stop doing evil and do the right thing? Our souls are truly dead if we explore all other options other than doing the right thing.
Corruption is deadening our souls.

Jo Ann Burton
Jo Ann Burton (Clarkdale, Georgia, USA)
The Fire Within
He was born a gentleman;
And with quiet dignity his legacy he bore-
But no one could have guessed his heritage
Because of the filthy rags he wore.
His matted hair was infested with lice.
On his face a scraggly beard had grown.
Rags had taken the place of shoes on his feet.
Gone was the fine attire he'd worn at home.
He could no longer be called handsome

Now for all you cheeky people who follow my instagram, you will have seen this photo before and probably speculated a wedding in the horizon. But I can now officially announce my sister is getting married!
We're all thrilled and being an Italian family we've become seemingly more crazy than usual, all throwing in our own ideas and having arguments about the guest-list and wedding dress styles.
My sister being very kind and maybe slightly off her head for having too much belief in me, wanted me to make her wedding cake... although I was thrilled and screamed yes! D and my family slowly brought me back down from cloud 9 to the attention of having never made a professional cake before, therefore I would not be for the 200 guests going to this wedding.
Shame I know, but we've decided I will be baking for the sweets table (unless my Nonna decides otherwise!).
C's colour theme is mid green and white so I'm thinking cannollis! Cake pops! Heart shaped iced biscuits! Cupcakes! Macaroons!
I'm slowly forming a collage of ideas
so please throw your ideas this way (I beg you!)
The more I get, the larger chance I have of actually going through with it and if they are Italian inspired you get a gold star!

Document Type: Journal Paper
Laboratory data is presented to show that liquefaction of cohesionless soils can be evaluated by electrical resistivity techniques. In addition this same material can be monitored by electrical resistivity techniques during energy input and subsequent stabilization. The instrumentation used in this study can be adapted to field measurements. The results (resistivity measurements) in this investigation are repeatable, and increase with increasing energy input. Applications of this work include soil improvement techniques such as deep dynamic compaction.

Exhibition: Southern Guild ReCollect
For the last three years, Southern Guild has been providing a platform for local designers and artists to create collectable, limited edition pieces. The initiative has seen about 50 diverse designers invited to produce new work every year, and the stunning collection that has been built up includes works from the most prominent figures in South African art, craft, jewellery and architecture. Now, Southern Guild is putting the best of the last three years together, in what promises to be a breathtaking show in Cape Town. Work from 62 local designers and artists will be displayed, bringing the finest collectable design to Cape Town for the first time, at the launch of the Woodstock Foundry, a new development in the Woodstock Design District. Contributors include Gregor Jenkin, Haldane Martin, Dylan Lewis, Heath Nash, John Vogel, Bronze Age, Conrad Botes, Brett Murray, James Mudge, Lyall Sprong Porky Heffer, Ceramic Matters, Nic Bladen, Pedersen and Lennard, Angus Taylor, Guy DuToit, Wayne Barker, Life, Ronel Jordaan, Koop, Dahla Hume, House on Fire, Dokter and Misses, Laduma Ngxokolo and many others. Co-curator Trevyn McGowan believes it is an important next step to be showing the collection in Cape Town. 'I am really looking forward to seeing a Cape Town audience's response to this curated collection of products. For the last three years we have only shown in Johannesburg and USA and we feel it is a celebration bringing the best of South African Design to the Woodstock Design District.' She adds that in addition to the highlights from the last three years, they also have two 'incredibly exciting over-scaled pieces from Astrid Dahl and Michael Methven which are surprise launches at the opening'. Southern Guild is curated and directed by Trevyn and Julian McGowan of Source. The ReCollect show will be on at the Woodstock Foundry from 1-11 March 2012.

This gallery presents the eleven "Official Disney Princesses" who have graced the screens for the past several decades.
So what makes a Disney female lead a "Disney Princess?" The following requirements in order to become a legitimate and official Disney female lead should:
- have a major role in a Disney feature animated film
- be human or almost human-like
- have not appeared primarily in a sequel
It wouldn't hurt also that the films they appear in should be a box-office triumph to qualify as an official Disney princess.
Check our gallery of the official Disney princesses — who range from the quiet, graceful and classy to the strong-willed, fearless, independent and modern — and see if you'll agree to our list.

Sports Minister Vijay Goel on Friday expressed disappointment over the delay in completion of works at the main stadium and training grounds in Kochi for the FIFA U- 17 World Cup.
"We are much behind the schedule. We were supposed to complete the work by 31 March," he said, after reviewing the preparations at Jawaharlal Stadium, one of six venues selected for hosting matches.
FIFAs inspection team had last month expressed deep concerns over the pace of work at the stadium, and had set 15 May as the deadline for completing the work. "Though I am disappointed over the delay in completion of various works, the officers have promised me that most of the work, especially at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, will be completed by 15 May," Goel said at a press conference.
The Local Organising Committee of FIFA U-17 World Cup had earlier this month asserted that Kochi was on its way to complete preparation work by 15 May. "I have told them that I am going to play football after 15 May in this ground. So you have to be ready, we will have a demonstration football show there (Kochi)," Goel said.
He said he was "very much worried" about the delay. "My Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) wants world class arrangements for hosting the international event. So I am taking a personal interest in the arrangements and the preparations for FIFA World Cup," the Minister said.
"They wanted 31 May as the deadline for completing works at training centres. Now, I have shifted the date to 15 May, except for one or two things. That relaxation is there," Goel added.
The minister dismissed apprehensions that the venue could be dropped due to the delay. Asked about it, Goel said, "That is not needed. I have full confidence in them that they will complete by 15 May."
The review meeting chaired by the minister was attended by members of the tournament's local organising committee and representatives of state sports federations. The meeting also paid a tribute to legendary Kerala footballer TKS Mani, who passed away in Kochi on Thursday. Mani was captain of Kerala's first ever Santosh Trophy winning team in 1973. He had scored a hat-trick in the final against Railways.

It has actually been long we learnt that Vince McMahon was angry with a superstar. The anger of the boss just rises up from nowhere sometimes and eventually causes trouble among the WWE superstars.
It was reported before now that Vince McMahon was not pleased with the act of Sasha Banks after the ell in a Cell match against Charlotte Flair and this has kindled Vince McMahons anger the diva. Report is stating that Vince has plans to send her out of the WWE title picture.
More so, Cagesideseats.com is now reporting that WWE is holding off on a Bayley versus Charlotte match until WrestleMania 33, which means that WWE officials have soured on Banks, who was originally penciled in to take on Bayley at next years, Show of the immortals. This also means that either NIa Jax, Dana Brooke or even Bayley herself could take Sasha Bank's spot in the title hunt after she has reportedly fallen out of favor with Vince.
It is also believed that this is Bank's third strike with the company, here first two being her injury during a live show and her other one being her shoulder injury before Summerslam. While these don't take Bank's out of the title picture completely, especially since WWE is an every changing entity and can change their minds at any given time, it is at least safe to speculate that Sasha Banks will have no place in the Woman's title picture for at least the next half a year or so.
What do you think? Is Vince McMahon going too far by removing her from the title picture due to her mistake with the table at Hell in a Cell. Let us know in the comments below and be sure to tell us which Woman's match you would like to see at WrestleMania 33.

Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative, 2017
6 pp. 731 kB
Poor solid waste collection and disposal practices in the Pacific have had serious consequences on environmental quality, public health, fisheries, agriculture, and sustainable development in general. Improving the performance of the sector will require efforts to reduce the amount of waste produced, and to extract maximum practical benefit from that waste before disposal. Public awareness, behavioural change, regulatory reform and enforcement, institutional strengthening, and the introduction of new technologies and investment are needed to achieve this goal.

If you've been following me on Instagram, you've probably seen that I've made this bread twice this week, both times with my officemate Ruby – she loves to cook and bake just like I do. We love baking banana breads at home, it makes our flat smell so…cozy. I used to buy banana bread slices from Toast Box because that's the only version I could stand. I don't like ripe banana, I like the bitter aftertaste of the almost ripe bananas. I know, I'm weird but when my husband requested for homemade banana bread because he is so crazy about banana bread with nuts, I couldn't say no — even if I knew what kind of banana they use! I read it on instagram one time — "The more brown spots, the better!". It uses super dooper ripe bananas. Blech!
But it wasn't that bad. As long as I just put 1 cup of mashed banana…or maybe up to 1.5 cups — it was fine.
I found this recipe which was perfect for us! 🙂 It was amazing, it comes out moist each and every time (check out my instagram'd banana breads)! I have used brown sugar instead of white — but I have tried it with just 3/4 cup of white sugar and lots of nuts, it was still moist and still tastes great! 🙂 I've tried ripe bananas…but with just a couple of browns pots…and I tell ya, what they say is true — when we use bananas that were NOT yellow anymore — completely brown, it tasted way way WAY better!
For this recipe, I show pictures of a single (big) loaf with walnuts and three small loaves in different flavors (almonds & pecan, walnut and chocolate chips). These three small loaves were especially baked for my mother-in-law because she loves banana bread, just like her son. 🙂 I baked it in Hong Kong and then flew to Manila the next day.
Nutty and Chocolatey Banana Bread
Makes around 6-8 servings
Recipe adapted from The Redhead Riter
- 1 2/3 cup sifted flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

- Bake for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until your cake tester/toothpick comes out clean.
(**) If making 3 mini loaves:

Men and women age differently, but when it comes to the effects of aging, they are very similar. Effects like memory loss, mood changes and lack of focus seem to have become widely accepted consequences of growing old.
The majority of women, by the age of 50 have lost in between 30 to 35 percent of their estradiol, which is the most powerful form of estrogen, and probably have lost a lot more progesterone. The ratio of estrogen and progesterone in the body should be at least 200 to 1 in favor of the progesterone, according to Scott Nelson, D.O. of Newport Crest Medical Center. When an imbalance of this sort takes place, the dark side-effects of estrogen manifest. The most common side-effects are PMS, fluid retention, cramps, bloating, emotional instability, sleep problems and more. Bioidentical therapy will take care of these imbalances by resetting the right ratio in each woman's case.
Around the same age, men experience similar symptomatology, lack of focus, poor memory, sleeping problems as well as, mood changes, lower libido and rectal dysfunctions. In men, the main two hormones responsible for these changes are testosterone and the human growth hormone (HGH). The right levels of these two hormones guarantee that a 20-year-old man would feel like a 20-year-old man. The normal range for testosterone goes from 1200 to 300. When an individual before his 30's is used to levels around 800, and in his 40's drops to 350, he feels like dirt compared to how he used to feel. In this case, the right hormone level management through bioidentical therapy will place the individual between 75 to 80 percent of their range for their age.
What is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy?
The term "bio-identical" means having the same molecular structure as a substance produced within the body. Bio-identical hormones are hormones that are chemically identical to those our body produces.
"The need for them arises from the fact that our hormonal levels decrease over a period of time, just as naturally as part of our life cycling and aging," says Nelson.
He describes hormones as computer programmers or as the foreman in a work site, who provides structure and order helping everything to come together. In the same way, a cell needs to receive the proper instructions to function efficiently, and thus makes us feel good. For example, men's testosterone levels range from 300 to 1200 at age 21, but from the age of 30 onwards, testosterone levels start decreasing at a yearly rate of 1.5%. Most men do not feel any changes until their 40's and some of them not even until their 50's. The main symptoms are lack of focus, drive or memory slips. This symptomology is the result of an unbalanced hormonal level, and therefore, maintaining the correct level is a key for good body performance and feeling.
In contrast, synthetic hormones are the result of today's economic system. In this country, we cannot patent anything that exists in nature, and if we decide to do so, production cost is more than $600 million.
"At that point, you have a patent that yields pretty good economic results," says Nelson.
In order to avoid the economic burden of copying nature, we produce synthetic hormones. They are the exact replica of a molecule in nature but with a slight change. This minor change produces what we call side effects. These do not affect everybody in the same way, and, in many cases, can be dangerous.
Synthetic hormones were tested in 2002 as part of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). The study analyzed six million women and was based on estrogen plus progestin. This trial was stopped in July 2002 after investigators found that the associated health risks of the combination hormone therapy outweighed the benefits. Participants were followed for an average of 5.6 years. Substantial evidence emerged of an adverse effect on breast cancer risk in the context of an assessment that overall harms exceeded benefits for the combined hormone therapy group. By that time, approximately 40 percent of the participants had stopped taking study medication. Women who took estrogen plus progestin were at higher risk for heart disease, blood clots, stroke, and breast cancer, but at lower risk for fracture and colon cancer. (Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer 2012 by R. Chlebowski)
On the other hand, a similar study was carried out in France at the Service d'Endocrinologie et Medecine de la Reproduction, Hôpital Necker in Paris. After the 10-year study (Climacteric 2002; 5: 322-340) by B. de Lignieres et. al., it was found that natural progesterone does not increase breast cancer risk. Numerous other studies have documented safety also in terms of other cancers, such as heart disease and cerebrovascular disease with bioidentical estrogens, progesterone and testosterone, when properly used.
Bio-identical hormone therapy can be administered in different ways. Nelson recommends that women apply the prescribed cream on the inner part of the jaw, face cheeks and forehead area, alternating right and left side every day. These areas have a much higher absorption rate than other parts on the body where the skin is thicker. The absorption takes approximately five minutes. In the case of men, there are also creams available, but due to the erratic responses obtained, Nelson recommends injections. The cost of the treatment for women is in between $70 to $100 for a monthly supply and in the case of men, the cost of injections range from $80 to $145. The injections go for 20 weeks, and are self-administered. A male's cream price is around $100 per month. The creams are produced by pharmaceutical laboratories and are pretty standardized around the country. Both the cream and testosterone for injections can be purchased at pharmacies.
Nelson's initial consultation is around $300, after which he will order a blood test. He collaborates with Direct Laboratory Services, LLC, DirectLabs.com which offers huge discounts for the battery of tests. For example, the "10 most important tests people over 40 should take each year" has a retail price of $1,874 and is offered at the discounted price of $309.
"Bio-identical hormone therapy is something that people know is available and that they can get their hormonal levels tested…but, really, they are coming to feel better and return to the way they used to feel before," says Nelson.

Look at all these black welfare queens that they busted….
Oh wait, those aren't black people, they're white people! Which, undoubtedly, is why New Jersey launched a pilot amnesty program for those who committed welfare fraud.
So, uhm, if they had been black… do you think that New Jersey would have launched an amnesty program? Oh fuck no. Black people don't get amnesty here in the United States. They get sentences for 10% longer times than white people who've committed the same crime. That's how it works in "post-racial" America — white people get the amnesty, black people get the prison time.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

I got some new sandals today! They're CL by Chinese Laundry, though I couldn't manage to track them down online to show you. (I got them at Ross.) Though they're pretty similar to this ALL BLACK Women's 120094 Ankle-Strap Sandal pictured above. I already have gladiators and T-strap sandals, but I really needed something to wear with dressier shorts and blouses or with a more nautical look. Then I found the ankle-strap sandals with the wide strap over the toes. It's the perfect sandal for my dressy-casual summer outfits. Click here to shop!

text: I was wondering if there was a way to reduce to the number of port forwards setup on my firewall to just one. My idea was to have everyone on the outside of my firewall connect to a certain external IP address with the default port for radmin. Then in my firewall I would redirect that request to a computer that would say here are the radmin hosts on the network and ask which one do you want to connect to. Of course, each radmin computer would have a password but this would require only one port forward on my firewall. Is there a way to do this or is there another way to condense the number of port forwards on my external firewall?
