What words are commonly mispronounced by literate people who read them before they heard them?
Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
Quite a few words are mispronounced by under-educated people, or people learning English as a second language. Some words are often mispronounced by quite educated people who read, and began reading high-level literature before they heard the vocabulary spoken.
This can lead to a vocabulary dissonance, occasionally leading to the belief that there are two words (the known spelling of one, and the verbal hearing of the same) where only one exists. Epitome is a common example that springs to mind.
Answer with a word and its proper pronunciation (and potentially, the commonly mistaken punctuation).

Corps (as in Marine Corps)
Being french I pronounced it cohr, not core like most Americans...
Christopher Mahan
Brits don't pronounce the p either. The Beatles (which is a bad pun) have a publishing company called Apple Corps (another bad pun). – user774 Feb 19 '11 at 20:36
In the US, Corps is short for corporations, and is pronounced "corpse" (fittingly, on occasion). – Christopher Mahan Feb 22 '11 at 16:49
Didja hear about the Marine who received a dishonorable discharge? They said he was rotten to the Corps... – MT_Head Feb 26 '14 at 2:46
Bayesian (pronounced BAYZ-ee-un)
vonjd
How else would you pronounce it? – Marthaª Feb 9 '11 at 3:29
@Martha maybe one could think it was "bay-ess-ian", or ba-YESSI-an"? If you know it's named after Bayes it's obvious, if not, it might not be. – TM. Feb 9 '11 at 7:25
@Martha, @TM: one might also expect the ending to rhyme with e.g. Indonesian. The "think of whom it was named after" principle holds good in this case, but is misleading for Cartesian, which is named for Descartes (whose -es is silent, or almost so, depending on language), but is pronounced with stress on the -es-, and does indeed rhyme with Indonesian. – PLL Apr 2 '11 at 21:06
You'd think it to be "har-BING-er" when it's actually "HAR-bin-jer".
Always read "in-FAME-us" when it's "IN-fah-mus"
facetious
Looks like "FA-cet-us" when it's "fah-SEE-shus"

Interminable: /ɪnˈtɜrmɪnəbəl/
It has the prefix inter-, doesn't it? So it should clearly be accented on the first syllable, right?
Peter Shor
No, it doesn't. It has the prefix of "in" meaning "not" combined with the word "terminable" mean "capable of being stopped or terminated". Inter-minable would mean... I have no idea. Able to go between different mines? – Kevin Apr 21 '11 at 15:54
@Kevin: I know that now. But I didn't when I first read and pronounced it as a child - I should have been clearer. – Peter Shor Apr 21 '11 at 15:56
So the second part was sarcasm which I missed. Am I allowed to give myself a "whoosh"? – Kevin Apr 21 '11 at 16:02
I know sarcasm is invisible on the web. My bad. – Peter Shor Apr 21 '11 at 16:07
Hear, hear. (It doesn't help that I have a genetic tendency to always put the stress on the first syllable.) – Marthaª May 6 '11 at 22:22
Just picked up two/three new ones today.
The first: I read that blog Cakewrecks, having never baked a cake myself. So when I saw the word "fondant," I assumed with the great knowledge gained from my three years of high school French that it was pronounced the French way, something like "fund-AUN(T)"...Of course, my sister's getting married and came by to make a practice wedding cake, which would be decorated with "FAWND-unt."...Which inevitably led to an argument, and led to my embarrassment...
The second (and third) I learned are revocable and irrevocable. Revoke is pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable, in my case as "rivv-OAK." Naturally, I assumed that (ir)revocable was pronounced "(EAR-)revv-OAK-ibble." It is not. It is pronounced "(ear-)REVV-uck-ubble."
EDIT: Turns out I was either illiterate or enjoyed being punished that day because "(EAR-)revv-OAK-ibble" is a valid alternative pronunciation according to Merriam-Webster! M-W also says they're less common, but not how much so. Sorry about that!
kitukwfyer
Is google dictionary US first? or is fondant actually pronounced that way in British English too? – mplungjan Apr 3 '11 at 6:19
@mplungjan: I checked the Cambridge Dictionary Online too. It has the same pronunciation (or nearly the same): dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/fondant – kitukwfyer Apr 3 '11 at 13:48
I've never heard REVV-uck-able. I have heard an attorney discuss a reVOCable trust. (US) – moioci May 11 '11 at 23:00
@moioci It seems you're right. I just double-checked the pronunciation of (ir)revocable, and it turns out (ir)reVOCable is allowed, but apparently less common. Not sure how I missed that. I never miss an excuse to be right! Thanks! :) – kitukwfyer May 12 '11 at 14:01
"Sean" as 'shaun'
I pronounced it as 'seen' for a while!
I still do for Sean Bean - Seen Been! – Oldcat Feb 26 '14 at 2:18
When I was in the 8th or 9th grade, I read much much more than I spoke. Then one day I was called on in class to challenge another classmate's perspective.
I used the word "doubt" in a sentence.
The problem was is that I actually pronounced the "B" in "doubt". Yes, try it. It's kinda fun to do.
I realised I never actually said that word out loud before, but I went for it anyways. The class was silent, and I thought I had made a convincing case. Needless to say that's not why the class was slient. Then moments later the class clown asked "Did you just say the B in doubt". Everyone got a good laugh at my expense.
Not sure how common that error is, but I still think it's a funny story.
makerofthings7
Others have mentioned place names, and one answer has mentioned that personal names "are tricky too".
I'd like to add that this happens to me pretty frequently with names in the news: I get my news from the radio, mostly, so when I first see a name in print it doesn't necessarily register immediately that it's the person I've been hearing about. This happened, for example, with the name Geithner, which is pronounced /ˈgajtnɚ/ ("gight-ner"): when I read it, I thought it was /ˈgejθnɚ/ ("gay-thner") for a moment.

Cairo, Illinois - Pronounced Kay-Ro – David M Feb 26 '14 at 1:46
Emeritus - was told about someone who pronounced the word as if it were a disease (emphasis on a long I.)
For those unfamiliar with this title, the root word is 'merit' and the emphasis is placed on 'mair'.
"Cleansing" has a short "e" in the first syllable, so it rhymes with "hens." A friend in English pronounced it quite logically with a long "e" just like in the word "clean." We all kept quiet for a few minutes, expecting him to realise his mistake. We were, however, forced to take him to task. ;)
Perhaps it's just me, but I pronounced bedraggled with two syllables ("bed" + "raggled") for years before I made the connection: "be" + "draggled".
I had always pictured torn bedclothes...!

"Minuscule" is often mispronounced and misspelled as "miniscule".
"Err" is often mispronounced as "air".
"Long-lived" and "short-lived" are too often pronounced with a short I sound. It means long or short "life", not as in the verb "to live".
The difference between "minuscule" and "miniscule" is so, ahem, minuscule as to make no difference. (Sorry, had to say it.) Dunno if I've ever heard "air" for "err". As for long- or short-lived, both pronunciations are now considered correct, and more people use the short-i than the long-i. (It also makes sense that way - English often uses the past tense of verbs as adjectives. Borrowed time, linked cause, forwarded email...) – Marthaª Nov 19 '10 at 17:00
@Martha, Everyone where I come from (Hanover, Virginia) that I heard say err pronounced it as air. If I've ever heard it pronounced differently, I didn't recognize it or don't remember. – kitukwfyer Nov 19 '10 at 20:21
Where else does one EVER pronounce u as a short i? It is just plain wrong. – Tim Nov 19 '10 at 20:53
What is the "correct" pronunciation of "Err" if not "air"? In Canada, we say "to air is human". – Mr. Shiny and New 安宇 Nov 25 '10 at 14:32
@Mr. Shiny and New, I'm with you. I've lived and travelled all over the US and have never heard anyone pronounce "err" any other way than exactly the same as the first syllable in error or errant. – Kevin Apr 21 '11 at 15:48
comfortable /ˈkʌmfətəb(ə)l/
It's pronounced "cumftible", while I as a foreigner (furriner :) thought it was "cumfort-ible"
ΤΖΩΤΖΙΟΥ
As a native English (US) speaker, I variously say "cum-fort-i-bel" or "cum-fert-i-bel" or "cumf-ter-bel". – Gary Aug 24 '10 at 5:42
That reminds me of a joke that an Indian(from India) friend used to tell me in an Indian accent. "Are you comfortable (come for table)"? "No, I came for tea". Said in an Indian accent, it's hilarious! – OneProton Aug 25 '10 at 22:01

When I first learned the word, (in first grade, from a pokemon game,) I thought it was Akyur-uh-see).
Come to think of it, how many people mispronounce "Pokemon" (Poke-ay-mon) as (Poke-ee-man)? – Moshe Nov 19 '10 at 5:00
For what it's worth, "akyur-uh-see" is the most common pronunciation for American English speakers. – res Nov 19 '10 at 16:29

I only discovered a few days ago that chintz is apparently not a French word, but a Hindi one, and is therefore not pronounced 'shints', but exactly as it's spelt.
Catenary is another odd one—since no one ever says the word (at least it's never popped up in any conversations I've had), I had to look it up to find out whether it was KAY-tuh-neh-ry or kuh-TEE-nuh-ry. (It's the latter.)
Janus Bahs Jacquet
Uh, nope, not here in the U.S. of A, it ain't. It's CAT enary: visual.merriam-webster.com/…. (Just start typing "catenary pronu" into Google and you'll see "catenary british pronunciation" pop up as one of the suggestions.) – Drew Feb 26 '14 at 4:32

Detritus, which looks like and is often pronounced DE-tri-tus, but whose proper pronunciation is di-TRYT-us.
As a young 1st-grader, I came home to tell my parents that I would be learning "MATH-ma-tics." Made sense to me that it would rhyme with arithmatic!
Much later I had similar experiences with "array" and "piezoelectric."
This is more mis-read than mis-pronounced, but as a child, I read The Magikan's Newph by C.S.Lewis.

Here are a couple that I've come across in philosophy.
Charles Sanders Peirce. It's pronounced like "purse" not like "pierce".

In my head, it was "ah-colt". The correct pronunciation is "ah-col-ite".
Blorgbeard
Oxymoron /ˌɒksɪˈmɔːrɒn/
Usually pronounced "ok-See-mawr-On" with the emphasis on the second and fourth syllables (i.e. Oxy plus Moron.) One of my high school English teachers would always mispronounce the word to make it sound ever so much better: ox-Zim-a-ron with the emphasis on the second syllable. This pronunciation makes the word almost poetic and I'll use it to this day but it does very much confuse people.

Some of the 10,000 employees in Milwaukee for Northwestern Mutual's annual meeting got to peek inside the new building Sunday.
Scott Wollenzien had goosebumps as people meandered through the first floor of the the Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons Sunday morning.
Wollenzien, a project consultant for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., has worked on the new building for seven years. Sunday was one of the first opportunities many employees had to look at their new home at 745 N. Prospect Ave.
"Being able to share it finally is really rewarding," Wollenzien said. "This building is going to be here for many many years to come."
More than 10,000 Northwestern Mutual employees are in Milwaukee for the company's annual meeting, a five-day event that began Saturday. Employees cooled off while touring the building's atrium and Commons following the meeting's 5K-10K run/walk Sunday morning at the lakefront.
The atrium connects Northwestern Mutual's neoclassical landmark office from 1914 to the glass and light-filled Commons area of the new building. The white marble throughout the Commons and atrium mimics the marble in the south building.
The Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons is the second-highest skyscraper in Wisconsin. The nearby U.S. Bank Center is taller by 51 feet. But the building has 1.1 million square feet of space, making it the largest volume of space under one roof in the state.
The Commons section, which will be open to the public, is three stories tall and two blocks long. The atrium won't be open to the public. Employees of Northwestern Mutual's home office are expected to begin moving into the $450 million Tower and Commons building about a month from now.
Debra Kaeck, a restaurant manager for the company, said she had a few tours of the building while it was under construction. But seeing the space cleaned up and filled with fellow employees was an entirely different experience, she said.
"Even though it's brand new, you still have that feel of timelessness moving through the building," she said.
Kaeck said she's especially excited for the public portion of the building. "It's all about bringing the community in," she said.
Construction began in 2014, and the completed complex will officially open on Aug. 21.
Mark Humphrey, who works in real estate investment for Northwestern Mutual, helped show off the space Sunday morning, pointing out architectural details and some of the best spots to snap photos.
He already knows what his favorite spot might be.
"I suspect it's going to be the top floor," he said.

Q: Do I need the Duo Plus if I already own a Duo?
the 2/3 and 1/2 markings on the pot actually show you the pressure cooking max fill lines.
But, all in all, these are minor improvements to the Instant Pot Duo you already own. Now, if you're in love with pressure cooking, and want an excuse to buy a second Instant Pot…well…I own 6 different pressure cookers right now. I can't tell ANYONE not to buy another cooker.
Q: If I don't have a pressure cooker, should I get the Duo Plus or the Duo?
A: I'd go with the Plus. I always want the latest technology, even if it's a minor update. Now, as I write this, the old Duo is $20 cheaper. If the difference between $120 and $100 matters to you, and every dollar counts, get the older Duo – it's a great cooker. Either way, I think you'll love your new pressure cooker.

Х'ю Девід Поліцер (;  31 серпня 1949, Нью-Йорк, США) — американський фізик-теоретик, лауреат Нобелівської премії з фізикив 2004 р. (Спільно з Девідом Гроссом і Френком Вільчеком) «за відкриття асимптотичної свободи в теорії сильних взаємодій».

Політцер закінчив у 1966 р. середню наукову школу в Бронксу. Ступінь бакалавра він отримав в 1969 р. в університеті Мічигану. Ступінь докторав 1974 р. в Гарвардському університеті, де його науковим керівником був Сідні Коулман. У першій своїй опублікованій статті, що вийшла в 1973 р. ,

Політцер описав явище асимптотичної свободи — при зближенні кварків один з одним сильна взаємодія послаблюється. Коли кварки знаходяться дуже близько один до одного, сили взаємодії між ними стають настільки малі, що вони ведуть себе як вільні частки. Це явище, незалежно відкрите також Гроссом і Вільчеком в Принстонському університеті, зіграло ключову роль у розвитку квантової хромодинаміки — теорії сильної взаємодії.

Девід Політцер і Томас Аппельквіст (нім.) Зіграли головну роль в прогнозі існування кварконію — елементарної частинки, що складається з зачарованого кварка і його античастинки. Експериментатори назвали цю частку — часткою J/Ψ.

З 1974 по 1977 рр.. Політцер був лауреатом стипендії Гарвардського товариства. Після цього він перейшов у Калтех, де досі є професором теоретичної фізики. У 1989 р. він зіграв роль фізика Роберта Сербера (учасника манхеттенського проекту) у фільмі « Товстун і Малюк». У тому ж фільмі Пол Ньюман зіграв генерала Леслі Гровса.

A Boston round bottle, or Winchester bottle,  is a strong, heavy bottle commonly used in the drug and chemical industries.  It is often made of amber (brown) glass (to filter out UV light) but can also be  made of plastics.

History
The "Winchester quart" bottle first appeared in the UK in the 19th century with a capacity of . At the time, a system of dry capacity measures known as "Winchester" was still in use.  The Winchester bushel is still used in the US. However, the Winchester quart bottle has no relation whatsoever to any other units called "Winchester". In the 20th century, the Winchester Quart was metricated to two and a half litres.

Construction
A "Boston round" has a cylindrical shape without a handle and a short curved shoulder.  It is threaded for closing with a screw cap.

Zimbabwe lifts import ban after cash crunch prompts panic buying
HARARE, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe lifted a ban on the import of basic goods and foodstuffs on Tuesday after shelves were emptied in recent weeks by consumers panicking over a deepening currency crisis.
After winning a disputed election in July, President Emmerson Mnangagwa pledged to end long-running currency shortages and revive a struggling economy but his government's early interventions have caused public alarm.
The introduction of a new tax on electronic transactions in an economy desperately short of hard cash caused fuel shortages this month and prompted shoppers to stockpile goods, leaving shops empty of basics like cooking oil and sugar.
Zimbabwe introduced a ban on the imports of many basic goods in 2016 as it sought to help its manufacturing recover after more than a decade of contraction.
"Cabinet noted with concern that the basic commodities continued to be in short supply," Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said in a statement.
"As a way forward, Cabinet resolved ... to allow both companies and individuals with offshore funds and free funds to import specified basic commodities currently in short supply, pending the return to normalcy."
Zimbabwe adopted the use of foreign currencies, mostly the U.S. dollar, in 2009 after its own Zimbabwe dollar was destroyed by hyperinflation.
But a huge trade deficit has led to a shortage of physical U.S. dollar bills in the economy, to which the authorities responded by issuing a "bond note" quasi-currency pegged at parity to the greenback in November 2016.
The bond notes trade at a significant discount to the U.S. dollar on the black market and have failed to address the shortage of banknotes.
On Oct. 1, the central bank directed banks to separate foreign currency accounts from the bond notes and their associated electronic deposits.
This tacit admission that the bond notes were not at par with the U.S dollar accelerated its collapse on the black market. (Reporting by Nelson Banya; Editing by Joe Brock and Andrew Roche)

HomeFeatureOH-Fest Makes Moves: And Says Goodbye to Downtown
OH-Fest Makes Moves: And Says Goodbye to Downtown
November 28, 2011 Kate Koenig Feature, Vol. 89, Fall 2011 0
Whitney Bashaw, Editor-in-Chief
Oh the times, they are a'changin'.
Neawha Park will no longer be home to the annual concert in the park that is OH-Fest. Citing untenable demands, the Oh-Fest Planning Committee has decided to remove their request for a permit for the park. The event instead will be moved to the college campuses, and so far indoors.
"We're basically starting from scratch," said Hartwick junior Danielle Freeland, who is a member of the Hartwick Campus Activities Board (H-CAB) and the OH-Fest Committee.
The committee, which comprises students from both Hartwick and SUNY Oneonta, decided to change plans and pull the request due to the common council of Oneonta's new requests and restrictions upon the event. Of the demands, the city asked for a significant financial increase for security and clean-up, a hold-off of the park permit until the middle of the spring semester and the ability to veto choices of the band.
"The decision was not what we wanted, it's not what we like but we were forced into this by factors beyond our control…we tried to meet demands and tried to compromise and we have tried every option we could try," stated Freeland.
Mayor Dick Miller explained that the city wanted representation in the selection of the artist, as they were concerned about the language and environment. "Over time, increasing concerns from the community about the nature of the entertainment reached a crescendo this spring," said Miller. Two members of the community would act as representatives and be a part of the selection process with the ability to vote down acts.
Last spring the popular rapper Pitbull headlined OH-Fest 6. Opening acts were Who's Bad, a Michael Jackson cover band, and local metal band Sword of Truth.
"This only started after Pitbull, even though it was the biggest and cleanest show we've had in years," said Oneonta senior Katie Lawrence, a member of CUAC and the OH-Fest committee.
"The community and common council took a strong position on that after last spring," said Miller, "I think it's too bad, this was a good event. I felt that we were trying to mediate between a very strong council position on the subject and the two student bodies. It's unfortunate but it's the students' event and the students who are paying for it."
Perhaps this dark cloud has a silver lining yet. Despite the change that will inevitably draw ire from all camps, the committee is optimistic about the event. They hope to take advantage of OH-Fest moving on-campus.
"It will be a chance for Hartwick and Oneonta students to get familiar with each others' campuses, a way to unite the schools and work together," said Lawrence, "we're optimistic." Both student bodies will have an opportunity to explore the other's campus and, hopefully, foster communication and involvement between the two. The committee is hopeful this will build a new tradition that unites the schools.
Instead of the one day of events, OH-Fest will span seven days, dubbing the 2012 concert "7 Days of OH-Fest 7." From Sunday to Thursday there will be medium-sized events and concerts alternating campuses; these events will be for students only. On Friday night, to kick off the weekend, there will either be a major comedian or concert.
Instead of the Main Street fair, one of the campuses will host a "big kid" carnival that is family friendly but geared toward students. Local vendors, downtown merchants and campus clubs are encouraged to set up booths. Saturday night will host another big concert or comedian. Community members are welcome to attend any and all of the weekend events.
Both CUAC and H-CAB plan on doing surveys to reach out to the campuses so students can have a significant say in the process. CUAC meets every Friday at 4 p.m. in the Union Square, Hunt Union.
"We want it as close to the old way as we can possibly get it, there have been ungodly amounts of time spent planning and we are meeting every singly week until OH-Fest," explained Freeland, "Now there are way more possibilities for bands, fewer barriers to cross. There are way more options as to how we can do this."
"We're all adults—content's not an issue. The schools don't have any special requests," added Lawrence.

A few weeks ago, I devoted a week's worth of posts to "indispensable iOS apps"... apps that I rely on heavily every day to get my work done (you can read more here). As much as I love my iOS devices (iPad and iPhone), I still use my Mac heavily. As such, I thought I would devote this week's posts to indispensable Mac apps.
There are a ton of apps that I use every day, both for work and fun. As with the iOS apps I highlighted, I consider these Mac apps to be hugely beneficial to me. Could I survive without them? Of course, but having them makes my life a lot easier, respective to what each app does for me.
Some of the apps I will highlight this week live on my system Dock, and others just run in the background. Regardless, each one are vital. I'll explain why I feel like they are indispensable, as well as how to get them. A large number of Mac apps that I rely on are developed by Apple. While I would also consider these apps to be indispensable to me, I won't be covering Apple-developed apps this week. Rather, I wanted to focus on 3rd-party apps.
As you can seen, just about all of them.

March 10, 2017 // ZFW IFR/VFR Flight Assist: 'Thanks for the Help … Saved My Life'
(This story was written and also published this week by Focus FAA.)
A pilot's grateful words after a recent close call in Fort Worth Center's (ZFW) airspace illustrate the importance of air traffic controllers intervening when conflicts arise between aircraft operating under instrument and visual flight rules.
ZFW Member David Kazyaka.
"Thanks for the help," the pilot told controller David Kazyaka. "… Saved my life."
The incident happened early on the afternoon of Dec. 28. Kazyaka cleared a Cessna 414A twin-engine aircraft flying under IFR to land at Terrell Municipal Airport east of Dallas.
The plane was traveling southwest and descending to 3,000 feet when an unidentified aircraft flying VFR popped up on Kazyaka's radar. It was about 2 1/2 miles away and headed northeast at 2,900 feet – on a collision course with the Cessna.
"It looked like it was going to be very close," Kazyaka said. He calmly issued an alert to the pilot, and as the pilot scanned the sky for the approaching aircraft, Kazyaka told him to turn 30 degrees to the left to avoid a crash. At about that time the plane's Traffic Avoidance Collision System triggered an alert.
"I'm climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing! Autopilot off," the pilot said. Later he added, "You can chalk that one up to a near-miss. That was about a mile."
Operations Supervisor Amy Naquin-Johnson said she wasn't surprised by Kazyaka's quick action to a potentially deadly situation. He has a 28-year track record of that kind of professionalism at the center, which includes having trained Johnson.
"When he plugs in, he does the right thing. … He's definitely a go-to guy," she said. "If I need something, I'm going to go to him."
NATCA ZFW FacRep Nick Daniels added that Kazyaka "exemplifies the dedication to our profession and ensuring the safety of the users of the National Airspace System. His attentiveness and quick actions set an extraordinary example for everyone."
That dedication was evident when Kazyaka listened to audio of the incident and concluded that he could have handled the situation better. "As controllers, we are the biggest critics of our own work," Naquin-Johnson said. "… That really shows true character and good character in what he does."
The FAA and NATCA are emphasizing IFR/VFR conflict resolution to controllers as part of the "Take a Stand for Safety" campaign. The close call at Terrell Municipal Airport is a reminder of why controller vigilance is important, even when policies don't require them to provide radar service to VFR pilots.
"It's our responsibility to provide [them] as much information as we can to make good decisions," Fort Worth Center Air Traffic Manager Tommy Graham said.
In his 28 years at the center, Kazyaka has seen many IFR/VFR conflicts like the one he resolved. He said veteran controllers "take it pretty seriously and should be passing that on to the next generation because it can and will at some point save a person's life."
As the national safety representative for the Air Traffic Supervisor's Committee, Naquin-Johnson added that the issue exists throughout the NAS, which makes it paramount for the FAA and NATCA to remind controllers to give their "utmost service" to VFR pilots.
"Whether we're talking to them or not," she said, "that's human life on those aircraft." Recounting conflicts like the one Kazyaka resolved reinforce that message. "When you see one of your fellow controllers out there going above and beyond," Naquin-Johnson said, "to me it seems infectious."

Now developing an application in android requires you to code in two formats first in Java to provide functionality to your activity/code and second Xml to set the layout for your activity.
Now let me explain to you a little bit about an activity in Android an activity is basically the screen that you see for e.g. when you open a web browser remember that it is an Application and when you open a new tab in the browser it means that you have actually opened up a new activity in the web browser, as you can open multiple tabs in your web browser or different activities in your browser it means that you have multiple activities in application your web browser similarly u can have multiple activities in your android application.
In this example i have created a class that cointains a single Activity or the MainActivity and its corresponding Xml as Main Xml.
Both the codes Main Activity as well as its corresponding layout code Xml are given below.
This is the Xml code.

It's been a while since I've posted anything here, I've been busy designing new stamps. I also had great fun a few weeks ago when I actually got round to decorating some Malma frames (sold by Ikea) for my daughter-in-Law. She loved the ones I decorated a few years ago and I promised to do her some too.. it's taken this long!. I have done these in exactly the same way as the previous ones.
I added the gold foil highlights so they will match the walls they want to hang them on.
I enjoyed making these so much and had a bit of free time so I went on to decorate another one for my daughter's friend who loves orange. I added copper foiling for the highlights and a lovely Red/orange holographic foil with my hot foil pen. I found a large button with a lovely texture, so I hot foiled that to match. It seems nothing is safe when I have the hot foiling pen out LOL!

Free State health services ready for CHAN match
Pretoria - Free State Health MEC Dr Benny Malakoane says the provincial health services are ready to handle any health-related incidents during tonight's match of the 2014 Orange African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Bloemfontein is one of the host cities for CHAN group C matches. Tonight, the Libyan national team will be facing Ethiopia at the Free State Stadium.
Malakoane, who visited the health and medical centres at the Free State Stadium to determine the readiness of the health services, assured that the provincial operational plan will be executed with precision.
"Our medical centres are well equipped to deal with any emergency and are well stocked with the necessary medical equipment and medicines. I am impressed with the superior back-up systems and I am confident that our medical, nursing and emergency care staff will be able to handle any incident expertly," said Malakoane.
He said that the Free State Department of Health is also partnering with hospitals and emergency care services from the private sector in Bloemfontein to ensure the health and wellbeing of visitors to the city and the spectators at the matches.
"I am grateful for the support rendered by the private medical and health services in town as well as the support provided by the South African Medical Health Services of the SA National Defence Force. This type of collaboration and support is key to our success on this project.
"Visitors and spectators to the matches hosted in Bloemfontein can rest assured that they are in good hands. I want to give credit to the work done behind the scenes by provincial and national government departments such as the South African Police Services and the Mangaung Metro to deliver a tournament of high quality," Malakoane said.

You are currently browsing the archives for the Nuclear Free Zones category.
There are frequent exercises when the population is rushed into underground shelters where they have to stay for days. The perceived, and maybe overblown, threats from the South are an effective way in raising support for the political leaders.
The leaders of DPRK believe that their nuclear weapons will deter an attack from the south. Look at Khadafi in Libya, they say, he gave up his nukes and was attacked. Saddam Hussein had no nukes, he was attacked. We shall not give up the nuclear deterrent as long as we are under threat.
In 1991 USA withdraw all nuclear weapons from South Korea. Subsequently North Korea and South Korea signed the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, whereby both sides promised they would "not test, manufacture, produce, receive, possess, store, deploy or use nuclear weapons".
The North Korean nuclear weapons program was mothballed for a longtime. However, the inspections and negotiations were repeatedly interrupted and the whole agreement was several times in jeopardy.
Rocket launches galore in North Korea. Colours and flames in the sky. It's all a bit like a peacock spreading his tail.
Murders abound. Is this a butcher's shop- an uncle, a half-brother and a couple of high-placed generals and no doubt others?
The Financial Times in a recent editorial said Kim has bad cards but plays them well. One could add that the US has good cards too but plays them badly – and that goes for three presidents – Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
During the years since the end of the Cold War, Peter Handberg – a writer and translator – has travelled many times in the Baltic states, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. He has visited many sites where nuclear weapons were kept at the time, ready to destroy the world.
Handberg has also spoken to military officers who once watched over these instruments of Armageddon. He has written an important book on the subject, Undergångens skuggor (Shadows of Doom). The book is not translated but a documentary film is planned.
He has just led a group of people from Sweden to some of these bases, abandoned since 1987. We were about ten physicians from the Swedish section of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) and ten others – historians, people with an interest in the Baltic states, etc..
1. The size of the Soviet nuclear complex in these small Baltic states was enormous; there were at least 35 bases.
2. The officers who watched over the missiles were, especially in 1983, convinced that an American attack would come and they expected to launch their missiles.
3. There were at some of these bases, in the sixties but also much later, short distance missiles with a range of not more than 600 km, enough to reach Southern Finland and Eastern Sweden only. They carried a large number of bombs, mostly of 100 kt effect, or about six Hiroshima bombs.
The reason "neutral" Sweden was targeted was that a US attack with bomb planes carrying nuclear weapons was expected to come also over Sweden, possibly using Swedish airfields.
Maybe that was correct: Sweden would have been used as a platform for an American nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. Such a scenario is described by Thomas Reed, once head of US Air Force, in his book At the Abyss.
Reed was a US defence analyst who in the eighties participated in the selection of enemy targets in the strategic plane called SIOP.
I can not avoid comparing this piece of history to the situation today: Sweden's government is moving ever closer to NATO and has – through the Host Country Agreement – prepared for NATO bases in the country and thereby – potentially at least – for an attack to be carried out by NATO from Swedish territory.
We Swedes are making ourselves a target.
It is known that he will not apologize for the crime that killed and crippled about a quarter of a million innocent people.
Disturbingly, the White House has also announced that he will "not have the time" to meet any victims, the Hibakusha.
His commitment to peace and a nuclear weapons-free world has been an utter failure, according to TFF Associate Jonathan Power.
And it seems that Obama will not use this unique opportunity to show any moral leadership or this last chance to announce even the smallest step in the direction of what the huge majority of the world's people want: living in a more peaceful world with fewer and, eventually, no nuclear weapons.
In other words, there is a legal as well as a moral responsibility to eliminate nuclear weapons, and this could have made the Prague call for a world without nuclear weapons more relevant to present governmental behavior.
The Prague speech while lauding the NPT never affirmed the existence of a legal responsibility to pursue nuclear disarmament. In this respect an official visit to Hiroshima offers Obama a golden opportunity to reinvigorate his vision of a world without nuclear weapons by bringing it down to earth.
The Need for a New Economic System by John Scales Avery is an important book for everyone concerned over the future of humanity. The urgent voice of the book stems from Dr. Avery's seeing the discontinuity between the loving care that people bestow on their children and their failure to reduce the harm to their children from a destructive economic system, climate change, resource depletion, and war.
This book of advocacy demonstrates the need for solutions to problems created under the present economic system. Political-economic analyses of the causes of the problems and of solutions are outside of the scope of the book. Scattered through the book are a few general policy suggestions. At the center is Avery's assessment sector by sector of the critical problems that must be solved to avert disasters.
The book first demonstrates the impossibility of sustaining growth economies on our finite planet. The central three chapters analyze the damage from climate change and war. Globalization, population growth, and the food crisis are the last problems Avery analyzes.
He builds toward his conclusions by sketching the nineteenth century cooperative movement and Gandhian economics. The concluding chapter revisits the problems to advocate change.
The premise of the book is that when people face up to the extent and nature of world problems, people can act creatively and effectively.


Zip Hydro taps can be a great source of instant hot water if you run a coffee shop or restaurant. The Zip hydro taps can create instant hot water, making them more efficient than conventional kettles. These units also include two sleep modes which automatically shut down the units when they are not in use. This helps to save an even greater amount of money.

Your tax deductible donations allow us the ability to further our mission of providing work opportunities and skills development for those with barriers to employment.
At Goodwill Industries of South Central California, we believe shopping should be a grand adventure. Browse our stores and find what you've been looking for at a price you'll love!
The best part about donating to and shopping at Goodwill? You're directly supporting the creation of full-time jobs, right here in our community.
Goodwill was founded in 1902 in Boston by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister and early social innovator. Helms collected used household goods and clothing in wealthier areas of the city, then trained and hired those who were poor to mend and repair the used goods. The goods were then resold or were given to the people who repaired them. The system worked, and the Goodwill philosophy of "Not Charity, but a Chance" was born.
Dr. Helms' vision set an early course for what today has become a $5.59 billion nonprofit organization. Helms described Goodwill Industries as an "industrial program as well as a social service enterprise…a provider of employment, training and rehabilitation for people of limited employability, and a source of temporary assistance for individuals whose resources were depleted."
Times have changed, but Helms' vision remains constant: "We have courage and are unafraid. With the prayerful cooperation of millions of our bag contributors and of our workers, we will press on till the curse of poverty and exploitation is banished from mankind."
In 1964 Goodwill Industries of South Central California came to Kern County and opened its very first retail store on the corner of 19th and Q Streets in Bakersfield. As of 2017, GISCC now operates ten stores throughout Kern, Kings and southern Tulare Counties.

Toronto gold junior shares double on fresh offer
Frik Els | July 16, 2015 | 12:05 pm Precious Metals Canada Gold
Lake Shore owns the Timmins West and Bell Creek mines in Ontario
Shares of Temex Resources Corp (CVE:TME) more than doubled on Thursday, after the northern Ontario-focused explorer received a friendly takeover offer from Lake Share Gold (TSE:LSG).
Temex stock jumped 110% on the Toronto Venture Exchange to $0.115 in more than ten times the usual volumes with 6.9 million shares in the small-cap counter exchanging hands by early afternoon.
Lake Shore, which has two operating mines in Northeast Ontario, is proposing to acquire Temex for 0.105 of a Lake Shore share for every Temex share.
That values the Toronto-based junior at $0.13 per share based on Lake Shore's closing price on July 15 for total transaction value of around $27 million on a fully diluted basis. Shares in Lake Shore gave up earlier gains and moved to breakeven in afternoon trade affording the company a $520 million market capitalization.
Temex said it's a superior offer to that of Oban Mining Corporation (TSE:OBM) announced at the end of June. Shares in Oban Mining, which has South American properties, tumbled on Thursday with the $10 million company losing 4.4% on the news.
In the event that Oban decides not to exercise its right to match Lake Shore's offer within ten business days, Temex will pay a termination fee of $691,856 to Oban and complete the transaction with Lake Shore.
The Oban match period expires on July 30, 2015. Lake Shore's proposal includes a break fee of $1 million payable to Lake Shore.
Temex's flagship asset is the Whitney project adjacent to Lake Shore's Bell Creek mine and mill, Vancouver's Goldcorp has a 40% interest in Whitney with Temex holding the remainder.
Whitney includes the past producing Hallnor, Broulan Reef and Bonetal mines and boasts a resource of 0.97 Mt grading 7.02 g/t gold for 218,100 ounces in the measured category, 2.3 Mt grading 6.77 g/t gold for 490,500 ounces in the indicated category, and 1.0 Mt grading 5.34 g/t gold for 170,700 ounces in the inferred category.
The latest study suggests that an incremental $21 million in expansion capital could grow throughputs by 50% starting in the first quarter of 2023.
The Amazon has more than 4,470 illegal mining sites, more than half of them in Brazil.

A patient of ours made an appt as instructed by her dentist office. She was having dental work done and the hygentist was stuck with a needle during the visit. Patient was instructed to get labs HIV & Hep B. What diagnosis do I use for the vist/labs? & wouldn't this be the responsiblility of the dentist office to pay and not the patient's insurance?
I think a screening code would be appropriate since the patient wasn't injured and has no signs or symptoms. I also think that the Dentist's insurance would be responsible for the charges since they are the cause of the medical visit.


Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams, who cleared Lt. Brian Rice of all charges Monday, sent a strong message that the state's attorney's office lacks the evidence to prove the officers' conduct was criminal, observers said.
"The state is not simply 0 for 4," said defense attorney Warren Brown, who is not involved in the cases but has observed the proceedings. "They're 0 for 24 when you add up all the charges that the judge or jury considered through the course of four trials."
Rice, 42, was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Williams had dropped a charge of second-degree assault at the trial's midpoint.
"The judge has said over and over and over again [that the evidence] falls short of convincing him beyond a reasonable doubt" that the officers are criminally culpable, Brown said.
That doesn't necessarily mean prosecutors should drop the remaining cases, one expert said.
University of Maryland law professor Douglas Colbert said the trials are sending a message to police. Prosecutors should keep going after adapting their strategy based on Williams' latest ruling, he said.
•Williams has agreed with defense arguments that a crowd that formed around the arrest scene gave officers reasonable cause to use their discretion not to adhere to the department's police general orders on using seat belts.
•Williams has said medical evidence was unclear about when exactly during Gray's ride in the van his injuries occurred.
•He has said that the state can't prove that police were aware of new department rules, issued just days before Gray's arrest and which took away officers' discretion about putting seat belts on detainees.
•And the judge has said that failure to follow general orders is not in and of itself a crime, particularly without being able to show that those rules were recklessly disregarded rather than a mere error in judgment.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are barred from speaking publicly about the cases because of a gag order imposed by Williams.
Before his trial, the court will hold a hearing where prosecutors will have to prove that they were not exposed to any of Miller's testimony. During the process in which prosecutors lobbied to compel Miller to testify, Williams, the Maryland attorney general's office and the Court of Appeals all said prosecutors face a high bar at such a hearing.
Officer William Porter also was compelled to testify, and his retrial also will require such a hearing, known as a "Kastigar hearing." The third officer who still has pending charges is Sgt. Alicia White.
Williams left some room for prosecutors in Miller's trial, finding that Nero did not participate directly in the arrest without rejecting prosecutors' argument that the detention was illegal. Still, he skeptically questioned prosecutors during closing arguments of Nero's trial.
David Jaros, a University of Baltimore law professor who has been observing the trials, said prosecutors' best hope might be if Miller made an incriminating comment in his statement to investigators.
"The judge made it clear that just because you made a mistake — someone may have done something that was very wrong, that was very inappropriate — but that doesn't necessarily make it a crime," Jaros said.
"If you do something that is grossly unreasonable, but you're not aware of the risk you're taking, you're not being grossly criminally negligent, even though you're being negligent," he said.
"To say there's a tragedy, therefore somebody has to be criminally responsible, is really an inappropriate manner to approach this case," said Brown, the defense attorney.
David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor who studies racial profiling and police misconduct, said that while he is "strongly sympathetic that police ought to be held accountable for wrongdoing," prosecutors have proceeded with a legally dicey case.
Colbert thinks prosecutors can dig into their evidence and find something to satisfy what Williams is looking for.
"I have to believe that evidence is available, and I hope we get to hear it at the next trial," he said.
Defense attorneys in the cases so far have asked, before the beginning of the trials, for Williams to dismiss charges. Warren Alperstein, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, said judges can't dismiss a case based on their views of a previous trial.

After the beast of a White Collar Boxing Training plan I put myself through, the determination was there to hit the new year even harder. I foolishly designed this late one evening after a lot of red meat and what was probably one too many drinks…. but here we go.
Starts with TRX exercises (straps hanging from overhead bar allowing anti-gravity, body-weight training that permanently train your core as well as other muscle groups).
Then moves onto the main 2 supersets. These are an adapted version of the workout designed by renowned trainer, Jamie Sawyer for Chris Hemsworth, for his lead part in the movie, THOR; "God of Thunder". The two parts were supposed to be done on separate days….but I've put them together.
Finishes with a five exercise abdominal/core routine.
Push Ups (12 reps) – Press-ups but with hands in TRX strap.
45sec, 10% incline sprint – 75% of max sprint (16-18km/h), 10% gradient.
Rowing 20sec interval (4 mins) – 20 secs max, 10 secs rest. Continue for 4 mins.
Barbell Punch Press (12 each arm) – Olympic bar with 20kg on end, anchored on other. Punch holding weight end.
Medicine Balls Slams (12 reps) – 8kg Medicine Ball, slam into ground, catch rebound, repeat.
Weight Plat Circles (12 each direction) – 15kg plate, circle around head with plate vertical at all times.
Side Bends (20 each side) – Hold 16kg kettlebell in one hand, other on head. Bend as far as possible.
Plate Twists (1 min) – Hold 5kg plate in both hands, twist to touch plate on the floor on both sides.
The above took 90 minutes the first time I did it, 2 weeks in and it is now down to 75 minutes non-stop. It's tough.
I do above every other day. On the between days I do a triple set chest workout (3x Flat, 3x Decline, 3x Incline), 16 minutes of sprint interval training followed by 3x 2 minute rounds of heavy boxing on a punchbag.
Try it, don't forget to stretch afterwards, especially your abdominals.
Enjoy….and give me your feedback below!
Thats a hell of a workout Gary, I'm hurting just looking at it. Look forward to trying it.
Bloody hell Gary, are you just trying to kill yourself? Impressive workout.
Wow. That's a beast! No wonder you won your boxing bout.

Peter Frankopan Prize for Academic Extension
In a new competition this year, sixteen Fifth Form students took the opportunity to delve deeply into beyond-the-syllabus subjects of their own choice. The idea was to extend our scholars by getting them used to independent work, while also preparing them for the rigours of Sixth Form study.
On the Presentation Evening an audience of parents, staff and students witnessed an eclectic range of topics, many of which would only be encountered at top universities. To prepare, the students had each completed ten hours of an MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) of their choice over the half-term Exeat. They then collaborated in groups of similar subjects for the final short presentation.
The winners of the inaugural Peter Frankopan Prize for Academic Extension were Gregor M, Alan X and Ollie H who completed MOOCs on Artificial Intelligence; Advanced Algorithmics; and Graph Theory with Python and Game Theory. Their ability to understand complex theories, explain them clearly and concisely, and then relate them to everyday life was impressive.
Highly commended were Locky A and Elodie S who completed MOOCs on Particle Physics and Astrophysics. They drew excellent comparisons and lessons from studying Physics on very different scales, drawing lessons about how evidence of life on another planet might come from very small sub-atomic particles.
Attie C-M and Arthur G contrasted lessons from the development of Taiwan and China and considered how people are willing to trade freedom for economic growth. Charlie T and Robbie I contrasted the development of China and Ancient Greece, drawing similarities but also important differences, such as the role played by language. Cordelia C, Olivia H and Alina K explored Social and Clinical Psychology. Eva S studied the development of Hollywood whilst Yash J investigated US Public Policy.
Overall, we learned about an impressive array of thought-provoking subjects. More importantly, our students really developed some excellent research skills while stretching their horizons way beyond their standard courses.

A wild third period saw a combined 5 goals between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Winnipeg Jets last night. It seemed as though every time the Jets would score, the Canes had an answer until Blake Wheeler scored his second of the night for Winnipeg with a little under five minutes remaining in the game. The Jets would hold on to win by a 4-3 final, dealing the Hurricanes their second consecutive loss in regulation.
The injury bug hit the Canes' locker room hard. A defense that's already missing the likes of Tim Gleason and Joni Pitkanen were dealt another blow when Jamie McBain went down against Montreal. With the shortage on the blue line, the Canes were forced to call up 19 year old Ryan Murphy from the OHL for his NHL debut. Murphy had almost 24 minutes of ice time and finished with a -1 rating and 2 blocked shots. With so many out on the defensive side of the ice, the Canes needed a stellar performance from goaltender Cam Ward. Instead, they got a decent performance and a couple of soft goals. Ward finished with 19 saves and allowed 4 to get past him.
Wheeler opened the scoring up for Winnipeg just two minutes into the game. Towards the end of the period, Jiri Tlusty potted his 6th of the season off of a beautiful behind the back pass from Alex Semin to knot the score at one. After a scoreless and relatively uneventful second period, all hell broke loose.
Evander Kane scored on Ward's short-side two minutes into the final frame. Jordan Staal answered back almost immediately with his third of the season to tie the game at 2 apiece. Jet's captain and former Hurricane Andrew Ladd, playing in his 500th career NHL game, scored off of a botched faceoff with 6 to play. Then, just 40 seconds later, Tlusty added another to tie the game at 3. With things winding down and overtime looking inevitable, Wheeler got on a breakaway and sniped a shot past Ward's left blade to give the Jets the lead and the win.
RALEIGH, NC – FEBRUARY 21: Ryan Murphy #7 of the Carolina Hurricanes dumps in the puck as Nik Antropov #80 of the Winnipeg Jets closes in during an NHL game on February 21, 2013 at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Special teams were a non-factor in this game, as both teams failed to score on extended two-man advantages, despite the fact that the teams are 29th and 30th in the league on the penalty kill.
With Tampa Bay's loss against Boston last night, the Canes still hold a slim lead for the Southeast Division title. Winnipeg only sits 2 points outside of the coveted spot as well. As of right now, without the division lead, the Hurricanes, with 17 points, would be on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. The Canes play tomorrow night against the Bolts in Raleigh for a matchup of the two teams who currently lead the division. The Canes must find a way to overcome injuries and play a solid game in front of the home crowd to put some distance between themselves and Tampa.


haha took 10 years to run up.
Sure he could have headed that.
What's Venables doing these days.
Sturridge is our best striker and he has played right wing all game.
England could do with some basic coaching sessions of moving without the ball.
This is bad, this is bad football.
This is the best i have seen Lukaku play.
