The Slap Maxwell Story - Wikipedia
The Slap Maxwell Story (sometimes seen in print as The "Slap" Maxwell Story) is a sitcom broadcast in the United States by ABC as part of its 1987–88 lineup.
It starred Dabney Coleman as "Slap" Maxwell, an egocentric sportswriter for a newspaper called The Ledger, somewhere in the American Southwest. The Ledger is an old-fashioned newspaper, and Slap is an old-fashioned man, who composes his "Slap Shots" column on a typewriter. Despite the newly litigious environment of journalism, Slap insists on filling his column with rumor and innuendo, which draws lawsuits and frequently results in Slap's termination. After each termination, Slap makes groveling apologies and is rehired.
Slap has an on-again, off-again relationship with Judy (Megan Gallagher), one of the paper's secretaries. The series also featured Annie (Susan Anspach) as Slap's ex-wife, who retains a soft spot for him.
Each episode featured a recurring joke in which someone would hit Slap.
The show was created by Jay Tarses, who in 1983 was co-creator of Buffalo Bill, an NBC sitcom in which Coleman starred as an off-putting talk show host.

The system may determine a size of the packet and may send a single copy of the packet if the size of the packet exceeds a threshold value. A number of copies of the packet yet to be multicast may be ascertained if the size of the packet of data does not exceed the threshold value. Copies of the packet may be transmitted based on the number of copies of the packet yet to be multicast.
Typically, purpose-built routers may be required to �multicast� information (i.e., send the same data from one source to multiple receivers). One type of multicast is a �single stream multicast,� in which a copy of the same packet is sent to different logical interfaces (e.g., different fame relay or virtual LAN) that are all part of the same physical interface. However, the nature of multicasting may place uneven demands on certain resources within the router. Also, multicasting may adversely impact the quality of service (i.e., the performance, such as transmission rates and error rates, of a communications channel) of the router.

Amitabh Bachchan: the risk taker | india | Hindustan Times
Amitabh Bachchan: the risk taker
Forget his star status, forget what he is — the fact that he dares to take challenges at this age is what makes Amitabh Bachchan special, writes Diganta Guha.
india Updated: Oct 10, 2007 20:31 IST
A couple of days back I got a call from one of my colleagues from Delhi. “We need a piece on Amitabh Bachchan on his birthday,” she orders. “Again!” I start wondering. Now, what am I going to write when journalists all over the country and abroad too have explored every angle vis-à-vis the Star of the Millennium. But I can’t really afford to say no to her.
I have committed, but what am I going to focus on? And then I see a poster of Bachchan on the walls of my cousin’s room. It was from the film Ek Ajnabee, where he played bodyguard to the child of a millionaire. In a total commercial film where he has some dhishum dhishum, he simply rocked.
The film may not have worked at the box office, but if it is watchable it is only because of him. Then I remember some of the films he has done over the last four-five years — Black, Sarkar, Baghban, Virrudh, Cheeni Kum, Nishabd, Dev, Khakee and the forthcoming The Last Lear. Isn’t he getting much métier roles than ever? Doesn’t Amitabh Bachchan work because he has this adaptability factor when all his contemporaries are hardly seen on screen?
In my view and this is not just as a film journalist, but as his die-hard fan, what he did when he was at his peak (in the ‘70s) has less substance than what he is doing now. In other words, he is taking much more risks now than before? In fact, he himself agrees when I asked him why he was taking the challenge of playing Gabbar Singh (Babban was his name in the remade version) in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (the remake of Sholay).
“Life is a risk every day. If Gabbar Singh is a risk, so be it. For me it is a terrific exercise as an actor, a challenge for whatever creativity I possess. Actors need to be tested. When I am in the mould of a character actor, playing Gabbar is another challenge. Also, I do not have much of a career in any case, so let me enjoy what I am doing,” was his exact quote.
And time and again he has underscored the fact that he is taking up new challenges and the result is the series of meatier roles he has got to do in the films mentioned above. Not that his Abhimaan or Deewaar or Trishul was any bad, but somewhere down the line I find a Nishabd or a Black much more métier.
At times I wonder if some of his landmark films like a Don or an Amar Akbar Anthony or a Pukaar or even a Kasme Vaade would have worked now, especially at a time when the audience has become so unpredictable. The fact that the ’70s formula doesn’t work is vindicated by the fact that Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag didn’t work.
Even his star status couldn’t make the film work and he had to face criticism for this. The films that he did at his peak may be good in keeping with time (those were the days of full-fledged masala cinema) and he played to the gallery, but now he has probably realized that time is changing . Even filmmakers like Prakash Mehra or Manmohan Desai played on his image that worked tremendously, but let me tell you a Naseeb or a Coolie shouldn’t go down in his repertoire as two of his greatest movies. The fact that he did films like Shahenshah, Toofan, Jaadugar and others and that they did not work was a signal that he got.
Agrees filmmaker Mohit Suri, “I think he is now playing roles that give him much more scope to show his skills as an actor rather than a star. Earlier on he was playing the role of a star.” Vipul Shah who has directed him in Aankhen and Waqt The Race Against Time agrees too, “Yes, he is playing much more meatier roles than ever. And the reason behind is that he is constantly reinventing himself as an actor and as a result directors can also taking a chance with him.”
This is what stands him apart vis-à-vis his contemporaries like Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra and others. While they are still trying to make a comeback (some do not have any plan though), roles are written keeping Bachchan in mind. On one hand he does the Kajra re number with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, on the other hand he plays a stage actor in Rituparno Ghosh’s The Last Lear. Again he is in love with his daughter’s friend in Nishabd and plays a father looking for justice for his son in Virrudh.
The face of cinema is changing and with more and more new directors coming up with newer vision, Big B fits into their scheme of things. Says young filmmaker Onir, “He is open to working with new directors and thus getting the scope to play métier roles.”
Adaptability is something that is his forte and that has actually endeared him to the new generation. Ask his directors who have worked with him and you get the answer. “He exudes tremendous energy on the sets,” is what they have to say.
The perfect balance is what Bachchan is focusing on now. And that is exactly what is keeping him going. Forget his star status, forget what he is — the fact that he dares to take challenges at this age (over 60) is what makes Amitabh Bachchan special. And let me reiterate — I would remember him for Black, Sarkar, Nishabd and of course The Last Lear (once it releases) and not for a Kaalia or Nastik or even Sharaabi or even a Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. Yes, you had an Agneepath but that was at a time when he was making a comeback and not when he was at his peak. Happy birthday Sir!

Four parties that did worse than Nota this Bihar election
Data from the Election Commission’s website at 1:30pm on Sunday showed around 2.6% of Bihar’s electorate had voted for Nota -– None of the above -– effectively rejecting both the grand alliance and the NDA.

Data from the Election Commission’s website at 7pm on Sunday showed around 2.5% of Bihar’s electorate had voted for Nota -- None of the above -- effectively rejecting both the grand alliance and the NDA.
Nota has not been historically a popular choice with the voters but, in terms of vote share, it outdid at least four fancied political formations these elections.
HAM(S): Former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi broke away from the Janata Dal(United) months before the polls and formed his Hindustani Awam Morcha(Secular), vowing to take away the sizeable Mahadalit vote away from the grand alliance. But the gamble doesn’t seem to have worked, with Manjhi polling around 2.3% of the votes. Dalits seem to have backed the grand alliance instead of the Musahar leader, who picked up just three seats.
Samajwadi Party: Mulayam Singh Yadav walked out of the Janata Parivar in a huff during seat-sharing negotiations, saying the party was being given a raw deal. It tried to cobble together a third-front to counter both major coalitions. But counting day showed the party -- billed as a spoiler due to its perceived ability to take away a chunk of the Yadav vote -– polled just 1.1% of the vote and the Yadavs were firmly with the grand alliance.
AIMIM: Asaduddin Owaisi’s Hyderabad-based party tried to expand its wings in Bihar and led a high-visibility campaign, asking Muslim voters to reject both the NDA and the grand alliance, and vote for him. The media gave a lot of space to the new entrant that was expected to split the Muslim vote and especially hurt the grand alliance, but things don’t seem to have worked out on the ground with just 0.4% of the vote.
Left parties: Once a stronghold of the Left parties, Bihar seems to have rejected both the CPI(M) and the CPI, who together polled less than 2% of the votes and didn’t win a single seat between them. In fact, their smaller cousin CPI(ML), which has a history of ground-level activism in the state, did much better and picked up two seats. The Left is receding nationally and Bihar provided no solace, proving that even when people are rejecting the BJP, they don’t look at the CPI-CPI(M) as a viable alternative.
The Nota option was first used in electronic voting machines in assembly elections held in five states in 2013 where more than 1.5 million people exercised the option. The figure, however, was lower than 1.5% of the total voters.
Less than 0.5% of the voters rejected all candidates in the Jharkhand poll held in 2014 and in elections in the national capital held earlier this year. In Maharashtra last year, the figure hovered around 1%.
The Supreme Court upheld the provision, saying negative voting would even encourage people who are not satisfied with any of the candidates to turn up to express their opinion and reject all contestants.

1. Use of Vaccines & Immunoglobulins in Persons with Altered Immunocompetence By : Dr.Abdelhady Mesbah M.D.Fellow Of The American Academy Of Immunology
2. Severe immunosuppressionCan be due to a variety of conditions:• Congenital immunodeficiency.• Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection.• Malnutrition• Leukemia.• Lymphoma.• Generalized malignancy.• Therapy with Alkylating agents.• Antimetabolites.• Radiation.• Large amounts of Corticosteroids
3. thro u g h a nu mb e r o fm e c h a n is m s : It w e a k e n se p it h e lia l in t e g r it y , m a yh a ve a p ro fo u nd e ffe c t o nc e l l -m e d i a t e d i m m u n i t y ,w it h f u n c t io n a l d e f ic ie n c ie sin im m u n o g lo b u lin s a n dd e f e c t s in p h a g o c y t o s is .M a ln u t r it io n a ls o m a yin it ia t e a " v ic io u s c y c le " o fin f e c t io n p r e d is p o s in g t om a ln u t r it io n a n d g r o w t hf a lt e r in g , w h ic h in t u r n m a yle a d t o a n in c r e a s e d r is kf o r f u r t h e r in f e c t io n .
4. As for diarrhea, in studies in Bangladesh,malnourished and well-nourishedchildren had the same number ofinfections with diarrheal pathogens suchas entero-toxigenic E . coli;. However,diarrhea in malnourished children was oflonger duration and had greater potentiallong-term nutritional consequences (42).Overall, malnutrition appears to result ina 30-fold increase in the risk -associateddeath
5. While accurate data on the prevalence ofmalnutrition are difficult to obtain,problems are accentuated in developingcountries, in areas of political unrest, andamong marginalized populations in theUnited States and other affluent nations.In Mexico, according to a probabilisticsurvey in 1990, 42.3% of children under5 years of age had some degree ofmalnutrition (40).
6. • Immunocompromised patients :• For some of these conditions, all affected persons will be severely immunocompromised.• For others, such as HIV infection, the spectrum of disease severity due to disease or treatment stage will determining the degree to which the immune system is compromised.• The responsibility for determining whether a patient is severely immunocompromised ultimately lies with the physicians.
7. Killed or Inactivated Vaccines• These vaccines do not represent a danger toimmunocompromised persons.• Generally should be administered as recommendedfor healthy persons.• Frequently, the immune response ofimmunocompromised persons to these vaccineantigens is not as good as that of immunocompetentpersons; higher doses or more frequent boosters maybe required, although even with these modifications, theimmune response may be suboptimal.
8. Killed or inactivated vaccines do notrepresent a danger to immunocompromisedpersons and should be administered asrecommended for healthy persons. In,contrast live-virus vaccines and live-bacteriavaccines such as M ycobacterium bovis BCG arecontraindicated for persons that are severelyimmunocompromised. Oral polio vaccine iscontraindicated to any person that is in contact(health care providers and householdcontacts) with a severely immunodepressedpatient
9. Steroid Therapy• Short term therapy (less than 2 weeks); low tomoderate dose; long-term, alternate-day treatmentwith short-acting preparations; maintenancephysiologic doses (replacement therapy);administered topically ,(skin or eyes), by aerosol, orby intra-articular, bursal, or tendon injection,usuallydoes not contraindicate administration of live - virusvaccine.
10. • The immunosuppressive effects of steroidstreatment vary, but many clinicians consider a dose Of Hydrocortisone equivalent to either 2mg/kg of body weight or a total of 20mg/day of prednisone as sufficiently immunosuppressive to raise concern about the safety of immunization with live-virus vaccines.• Corticosteroids used in greater than physiologicdoses also may reduce the immune response tovaccines.
11. • Physicians should wait at 3 least months after discontinuation of therapy before administering a live-virus vaccine to patients who have received high- doses, systemic steroids for greater than or equal 2 weeks.
12. • For specific immunocompromising conditions“ e.g. asplenia”, such patients may be at higher riskfor certain diseases, and additional vaccines,particularly bacterial polysaccharide vaccines arerecommended for them “ e.g. Haemophilusinfluenzae type b, pneumococcal and meningoccal”
13. Specific Immunocompromising ConditionsPersons with immunocompromising conditions may be divided into 3 groups:• Persons who are severely immunocompromised not as a result of HIV infection.• Persons with HIV infection.• Persons with conditions that cause limited immune deficits (e.g. asplenia, renal failure) that may require use of special vaccines or higher doses of vaccines but that do not contraindicate use of any particular vaccine.
14. Patients with limited immuno-compromising conditions (e.g.,Malnutrition , asplenia, diabetes,alcoholic cirrhosis) may be at higherrisk for certain diseases, andadditional vaccines, particularlybacterial polysaccharide vaccines(Ha e mo p h il u s in f l u e n z a typeb - Hib, pneumococcal andmeningococcal), are recommended forthem.
15. Prevention and Treatment of Virus Diseases: Vaccines•There are two aspects to the prevention and treatment of virus diseases:•Prevention: Vaccination and public health measures•Treatment: Antivirals
16. Post Exposure Vaccination• Although prevention of infection is much the preferred option, post-exposure vaccines can be of great value in modifying the course of some virus infections e.g. rabies.• To design effective vaccines, we need to understand immune response to virus infection.
17. Cell Mediated Immunity: T cells:• Cell mediated immunity is particularly important in virus infections. Healthy Th Cells is Crucial For both cellular and humoral response. CD8 cells, Cytotoxic T ymphocytes or CTL cells. Agammaglobulinaemic children are not especially at risk of viral infections such as measles. In contrast if they lack T cells then measles is fatal. T cells are able to recognise virus infected cells early in the infection process.
18. • MHC Class I is present on all nucleated cells with the exception of neurons. They present endogenous (intracellular) antigens including viral ones i.e before virus is released from a cell. T cell receptor can recognise antigen-MHC I complexes. MHC Class I is present on antigen presenting cells such as macrophages T and B cells. These cells take up exogenous (extracellular) antigens ie they can only present viral antigens from another cell, after replication and release.
19. MHC I is more important in clearingviral infections. If the MHC I system isknocked out then people can still clearvirus infections but less quickly.Presumably viral replication occurs andexogenous viral proteins are processedby MHCII cells.
20. Vaccination Strategies• There are three basic types of vaccines: – 1) Sub-unit Vaccines• The newest type; completely safe, except for rare adverse reactions. Unfortunately, they also tend to be the least effective.• Problems: (Relatively) poor antigenicity (especially short peptides)• Vaccine delivery (carriers/adjuvants needed)
21. 1) Sub-unit Vaccinesa) Synthetic Vaccines :Not very effective, Greatpotential,None currently in use.b) Recombinant Vaccines :Better than above - somesuccess has already beenachieved:HBV - now produced in yeast.
22. 1) Sub-unit Vaccinesc) Virus VectorsThe idea is to utilize a well-understood, attenuated virus topresent antigens to immune system,e.g: Vaccinia Virus ,Attenuatedpolioviruses ,Retroviruses (genetherapy)Hard to produce, safe?, nonesuccessful yet - lots of trialsunderway.
23. 2) Inactivated Vaccines• Method of production : exposure to denaturing agent - results in loss of infectivity without loss of antigenicity.• Advantages:• More effective than Subunit Vaccine, better immunogens, Stable.• Little or no risk (if properly inactivated)
24. 2) Inactivated VaccinesDisadvantages:* Not possible for all viruses;* denaturation may lead to loss ofantigenicity, e.g. measles.* Not as effective at preventing infection as live viruses (mucosal immunity -IgA).* May not protect for a long period ?
25. 3) Live Virus Vaccines•The use of virus with reduced pathogenicity to provide immune response without disease. May be naturally occurring virus (e.g. Jenner, cowpox, 1776 (Variolation)) or artificially attenuated (oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV)).
26. Advantages of Live attenuated vaccines:Good immunogens Induce long-lived,appropriate immunityDisadvantages:Unstable: biochemically (live virus) andgenetically (reversion to virulence)Not possible to produce in all cases- trial and error black box !Contamination possible (SV40)Inappropriate vaccination e.g.immunocompromised hosts / rubella inpregnancy may lead to disease
27. • Administration• Oral: o• Subcutaneous or scarification: sc• Intramuscular: im• Adjuvants• These enhance the immune response and are included in inactivated and subunit vaccines e.g aluminium hydroxide. This is considered safe for human use.
28. Passive immunisation• Normal pooled human immunoglobulin fraction. Heat treated to destroy viruses. Considered as safe e.g.: Prevention of Hepatitis A,Prevention or modification of measles in the immuno - compromised who have been in contact with a case. HBV Ig is coadministered with the vaccine to provide rapid protection after say a needlestick injury. Rabies Ig immediately after exposure. Varicella Zoster Ig to the immunosuppressed and leukaemic. Lassa Fever convalescent plasma is therapeutic.
29. Problems of passive ImmunizationSensitisation, reversion, rare possiblecomplications. Attenuated vaccines notgiven to pregnant or immunecompromised.Developing effective vaccines to someviruses is proving very difficult e.g.influenza, common cold viruses, HIV-1,herpes, papilloma and more. Commonproblems include the existence of manyserotypes, antigenic drift and shift.
30. The Future Of Vaccination ? Genetic engineering DNA vaccines" The Emerging Role of DNA Vaccines" Synthetic peptides Improved adjuvants, liposomes, ISCOMS (saponin complexes)
31. Hepatitis B vaccination in low and nonresponder patientsLow or nonresponse to hepatitis B vaccination is seenin only a small proportion of people vaccinated withan adequate schedule and :1-May have a genetic basis .2-Nonresponders have a lower cytokine response tothe vaccine than responders .3-The rate of low or nonresponse is much higher inpatients with uremia , up to 30 % failing to respondto the usual vaccination schedules.4-Coinfection with hepatitis C seems to further lowerthe response rate in such patients . In a recent study,hepatitis C was identified as a reason for non-response (31 % vs 9 % in healthy health staff).
32. High dose boosting induced a response in 80 %,however the federal office of health recommendsrepeated i.m. booster injections for such patients.If this does not achieve the goal, it states that repeatedreinjections at short intervals may be considered butconsiders such a procedure to be controversial.
33. Revaccination with regular i.m. Injectionsmay be appropriate for immunocompetentsubjects, in particular health careworkers. Thus, in a post-marketingsurveillance , all complyingNonresponders achieved satisfactory anti-HBs levels after receiving bimonthly 20 µgi.m. until a satisfactory response had beenachieved . This holds also true for childrennot responding to perinatal vaccination.
34. The situation is different in immuno -compromised subjects, in particular in-patients with renalinsufficiency. Low- or nonresponse in renal failure patients as afunction of age and increased serum creatinine .Lack of vaccination leads frequently to significantmorbidity and forcing a protective effects is thereforehighly desirable.
35. Different approaches have been selected toachieve satisfactory protection in suchpatients, in particular the use of repeatedintradermal injections and the addition ofcytokines to the vaccination. Doubling thedose in renal insufficiency should probablybe used in the first time vaccinationalready. Finally, newer recombinantvaccines containing preS1 and preS2 components may be more efficientbut direct comparisons are yet lacking.
36. Intradermal versus intramuscular applicationDifferent open studies in the early 90s havesuggested that intradermal injections could enhancethe response to vaccination . In immunocompetentpatients this has been suggested . Differentcontrolled trials, have backed up this contention.Unfortunately, different doses and injectionschedules have been used rendering a formal meta-analysis impossible. The study of Fabrizi andcolleagues compared revaccination with equal doseintradermal administration and found the latter tobe clearly superior .
37. Table Compilation of randomized trials (RCT) and open studies investigating intradermal administration of hepatitis B vaccine. RRstands for response rate, duration - if stated - for the duration protective levels of anti- HBs had been observed.
38. Type of N Dose id RR Duration study RCT 81 20 µg x 5 100 % 70 % at 3 y RCT 50 80 µg total 100 vs 48 57 % at 1 % y RCT 30 5 µg x 12 93 vs 73 not given % Open 12 5 µg x 4 - 100 % not given 8 Open 31 10 µg x 4 61 vs 64 not given % Open 20 5 µg up to 70 % not given 70 µg Open 19 5 µg 94 % not given Open 5 5 µg x 3 - 100 % not given 7 Open 9 20 mg x 3 89 % not given
39. Triple antigen vaccine:The novel vaccines with triple antigen willenter the market soon; 79 % of healthcareworkes previously not respondingsufficiently to the old vaccine respondedwith protective anti-HBs titers .
40. Conclusions •As low- or nonresponse as a function of age and serum creatinine, vaccination should be performed as early as possible in the course of the disease in patients with renal failure . •The new triple antigen vaccines are anticipated to be more potent . Studies are eagerly awaited and are being published •Double dose should be used in-patients with chronic renal failure .
41. • The largest randomized controlled trial suggest that 5 intradermal doses of 20 µ g can achieve protective levels of anti-HBs in all patients persisting for 3 years in 70 % of them . It can be recommended to use either 5 consecutive 20 µ g doses as in the study quoted above; alternatively, vaccination can be carried out until a satisfactory anti-HBs level has been achieved.Patients failing an intradermal regime can beconsidered for adjuvant cytokine treatment orfor vaccination with newer vaccines withbetter immunogenic properties.

java - Why does method backtrack not work when called from within method - Stack Overflow
Why does method backtrack not work when called from within method
When I call method backtrack a second time from within it (backtrack) because I need to go back two moves, it does not work. Does anyone have any idea? Here is my code:
// width of board
static final int SQUARES = 8;
static boolean[][] board = new boolean[SQUARES][SQUARES];
// represents values for number of squares eliminated if queen is placed in square
static int[][] elimination = new int[SQUARES][SQUARES];
// store position of queens
static boolean[][] position = new boolean[SQUARES][SQUARES];
// store row
static int[] row = new int[8];
// store column
static int[] column = new int[8];
// Write a program to solve the Eight Queens problem
Arrays.fill(column, -1);
// reset elimination table
fillElim();
// count queens on board
// while board is not full
while(counter < 8) {
// place next queen on board
placeQueen(-1, -1);
// backtrack and fill board back to this point
while(isFull() && counter < 7)
backtrack(counter);
System.out.println("Queens on board: " + counter);
System.out.println(column[i] + "/" + row[i]);
// Print elimination table
public static void printE()
for(int i[] : elimination) {
for(int j = 0; j < i.length; j++)
System.out.printf("%-3d", i[j]);
}   // end printE
if(board[i][j] && position[i][j])
else if(board[i][j])
System.out.print("% ");
}   // end method printBoard
// Write method to calculate how many squares are eliminated if queen is placed in that square
public static void fillElim()
// if any squares that could be eliminated already are eliminated, subtract 1
for(int i = 0; i < elimination.length; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < elimination[i].length; j++) {
elimination[i][j] = openSquares(i, j);
}   // end method fillElimination
// Number of squares eliminatable by placing queen in any given square
public static int openSquares(int row, int column)
// if square is already eliminated, it cannot be used

int total = 1 + openHorizontal(row) + openVertical(column) + openUpSlope(row, column) + openDownSlope(row, column);

board[x+i][y-i] = true;
if(x-i >= 0 && x-i < board.length && y+i >= 0 && y+i < board.length)
board[x-i][y+i] = true;
// If not found solution and board is full
public static void backtrack(int lastMove)
// store last move

}   // end method goBack
// Return number of open, untested spaces on board
public static boolean openSpaces(int lastRow, int lastCol)
// store number of open, untested squares
int limit = elimination[lastRow][lastCol];
// store next limit for use if no more squares at limit
int nextLimit = limit + 1;
if(!board[i][j] && elimination[i][j] == limit)
if(!board[i][j] && elimination[i][j] >= nextLimit)
return squares != 0;
}   // end method openSpaces
This calls method goBack; method placeQueen, which calls method bestMove; and a few others. These three mentioned methods may also have an error, I do not know for sure:
I think that placeQueen is somehow being called before backtrack within the backtrack method.
P.S. This is not the same question as Use elimination heuristic to solve Eight Queens puzzle. There I was asking what I needed to do; here I am asking why my method did not work.
java backtracking share|improve this question edited Nov 22 '13 at 6:39
Is it possible you could trim down the code to the minimum that demonstrates your problem? Or at least explicitly show what piece of code is failing? That's a lot of code to sort through trying to find your problem.
I think you need to write: if(!openSpaces(lastRow, lastCol)) { ... } else { placeQueen(lastRow, lastCol); }
@jpmc26 Sure. I thought you might like to run it, and I do have some output to show what is happening wrong, but I will separate the piece that I think is failing, at least where I know the fail starts.
Nov 22 '13 at 4:49
@SpiderPig Actually, I want while(!openSpaces(lastRow, lastCol)){...} because I want to continue going up an entry if it returns dead (no next move available). Then, I want it to replace the removed queen by entering a queen in the next best spot open. I will try your suggestion and see how it works.
Actually, you cannot use if-else because you do not know whether you merely replaced the value and should leave main's counter alone, or whether you jumped back. You must always use while, and replace your queen. After second thoughts, I am sure that the trouble is in bestMove because the second backtrack is called and returns the same value, and because in other places it just flops back and forth between two values for a queen. Neither of these should happen, and bestMove is what takes care of this.
There is btw. a simpler way to solve the queens problem.
This program will print out all 92 solutions.
static int[] pos = new int[8];
for(int p: pos) {
for(int i = 0; i < p; i++) System.out.print(".");
for(int i = p+1; i < 8; i++) System.out.print(".");
static boolean threatened(int x, int y){
int d = y - i;
if(pos[i] == x || pos[i] == x - d || pos[i] == x + d) {
static void place(int y) {
for(int x = 0; x < pos.length ; x++){
if(!threatened(x, y)){
pos[y] = x;
if(y == 7){
place(y + 1);
System.out.print("found " + counter + " solutions");

Nice job. My textbook suggested using an elimination heuristic, so that is what I started with.
Actually, you should really post that answer on my other question, which dealt with this. Here I was asking why my code wasn't working, not how to do it.

Cannot figure out how to incorporate backtracking into my psuedo-recursive method
Why is this called backtracking?

Perfect Locale for Fallas Festival - Review of La Buhardilla _ Bright, central, & fully equipped, Valencia, Spain - TripAdvisor
Perfect Locale for Fallas Festival - La Buhardilla _ Bright, central, & fully equipped
“Perfect Locale for Fallas Festival”
OFdzXzM0X0kzVQ==
I booked this apartment for Fallas Festival this year and stressed over whether or not I may have isolated us from the festival. What a lot of wasted time worrying. Could not believe how well centered we were. There were Fallas locations one block in either direction that could be seen from the two balconies, the parades with their beautiful costumes and flower offers would come through every day and be right below our balcony. As for the rest of the main festival, it was a mere 3 or 4 blocks away. From a practical standpoint, it is a short walk from the Metro, which can be taken from the Airport (thank you Ines for that advice it couldn't have worked out better), the market is just down the street, as is the bank with ATM, and if you are there for Fallas and want to take part in the "explosive" festivities, there is a Pyro shop directly across the street from apartment. It is extremely loud in ALL of Valencia during Fallas, however the windows and doors of the apartment significantly reduce the worst of it. All in all the location, the owner, the amenities and just the beauty of the apartment itself made for the perfect Fallas experience. Thank you so much Ines...

“Great apartment, close to old city, perfect for 2”
We stayed for a week and found that the apartment is very close to the old town. Great apartment, very nicely decorated, compete with dishwasher, washing machine, central heating, walk in shower etc.
Inés provided a lot of info about the area and arranged a parking place for the rental car within walking distance.
Liked best: location of apartment and modern decoration

A very nice and comfortable apartment. Everything is available also a child chair and cod with mattress and blankets.
Inés is very friendly, speaks very well English and extremely helpful. If you have questions or special requests is she easy to reach and always willing to help.
If you want a great stay with the comfort of an apartment a stone throw away from the old town of Valencia, this is the place to be.
Liked best: Inés, the very friendly and helpful landlady.

Inclusive Leadership: The Essential Leader-Follower Relationship / Edition 1 by Edwin Hollander | 9781136678585 | NOOK Book (eBook) | Barnes & Noble
This landmark book, by Edwin P. Hollander, a noted organizational social psychologist and long-time contributor to leadership research and practice, highlights the leader-follower relationship as central to effective leadership. Inclusive Leadership is a process of active followership emphasizing follower needs and expectations, with the guiding principle of …
Inclusive Leadership: The Essential Leader-Follower Relationship available in
"In this book and indeed throughout his distinguished career, Hollander has "shined the bright light" on the importance of the followership in the study of human behavior. That focus, alone, makes Hollander’s book distinctive and unique. Almost single-handedly, through the force of his impeccable and creative research, he has altered, indeed transformed, our view of leadership by insisting on the study of followership. His stance and tone are just right and his writing is lovely" - Georgia Sorenson, Research Director and Founding Director, James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland"I liked the presidency chapter tremendously. I was very impressed with the weaving together of the theories and research from some years ago with current issues and worries in presidential leadership." - George R. Goethals, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond"This book will be one of the "must have" volumes for the libraries of all serious leadership scholars and students in the field." - David Vaughn Day, University of Western Australia, Crawley"I learn more from Ed Hollander about leadership in a few pages than I learn from other leadership scholars in whole books." -Terry L. Price, Associate Dean, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond"Inclusive Leadership is an engaging book that will appeal to a variety of audiences...[it is] an important addition to any leadership researcher's library. Inclusive leadership is as applicable in the executive suite as it is with a crew cleaning a hotel suite; the budding shift supervisor or community leader may not have the authority or opportunity to be transformational, yet any leader at any level has the responsibility to engage their followers. Inclusive leadership is for everyman and everywoman." - The Psychological Record, Donald A. Hantula, Temple University, 2009, 59, 701-704

The foregoing ingredients can be mixed within a twin screw extruder or a Farrel™ continuous mixer. The mixer can be operated at a temperature up to about 450° to about 470° F. In the case of a twin-crew extruder, the temperature may be ramped up across sequential barrels so as to reach a final barrel temperature of about 450-470° F. The residence time of mixing may be from about 5 to about 10 minutes. Where a Farrel™ continuous mixer is employed, all ingredients can be added at one interval, and the sequence of addition may not be critical. Where a twin-screw extruder is employed, addition of the various ingredients can occur simultaneously or sequentially by employing side feeders.
