Q: Object Oriented Concepts Clarification I have some fundamental doubts in my OO concepts. I am trying to solve this

You have two numbers represented by a linked list, where each node
  contains a sin- gle digit. The digits are stored in reverse order,
  such that the 1's digit is at the head of the list. Write a function
  that adds the two numbers and returns the sum as a linked list.
  EXAMPLE Input: (3 -> 1 -> 5) + (5 -> 9 -> 2) Output: 8 -> 0 -> 8

I know it can be recursively solved but what I tried was to iteratively test the problem. The method I wrote is this
public LinkedList sum(LinkedList a){
    int carry = 0;
    Node head1 = a.first;
    Node head2 = this.first;
    LinkedList sum = new LinkedList();
    Node k = sum.first;
    if(a.first != null && this.first != null){
        k.item = (head1.item+head2.item) % 10;
        carry = (head1.item+head2.item) / 10;
    }
    head1 = head1.next;
    head2 = head2.next;

    while(head1 != null){
        k.next = new Node((head1.item + head2.item + carry) % 10);
        carry = (head1.item + head2.item) / 10;
        head1 = head1.next;
        head2 = head2.next;
        k = k.next;
    }
    return sum;
}

And the method I am using to call it is this
    LinkedList object1 = new LinkedList();
    LinkedList object2 = new LinkedList();
    object1.insert(5);
    object1.insert(1);
    object1.insert(3);
    object2.insert(2);
    object2.insert(9);
    object2.insert(5);
    LinkedList object3 = object1.sum(object2);
    object3.display();

I am getting a Null Pointer Exception in the line

k.item=(head1.item+head2.item)%10;

How do I modify the sum method to present the correct result. Pleae dont suggest the recursive way as I am already aware of that. The main point of this question is I want to clarify my Object Oriented concepts.
For further info Node class looks like this
class Node {
    public int item;
    public Node next;
    public Node(int val){
        item = val;
    }

    public Node(){}

    public void displayNode() {
        System.out.println("[" + item + "] ");
    }
}

The LinkedList class has one global declaration

private Node first;

A: Initialising a LinkedList makes an empty LinkedList object, which you then have to populate with Nodes. Your sum LinkedList has no Nodes, so you can't assign Node k to sum.first.
To fix this you need to use Node k = new Node();
However it's best to use/create an add() method in your LinkedList implementation which handles this for you, as well as a remove() method. That way you don't need to simultaneously create and track Nodes in your sum LinkedList.
Apart from that, you should be careful of checking that both head1 and head2 both do not equal null before summing, or you will be restricted to numbers of the same digit-length.

Docosahexaenoylethanolamine is an endocannabinoid that is synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid / DHA, the major omega-3 fatty acid in the brain.
endocannabinoids are derived from Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) with Anandamide and 2AG coming from Ω-6 PUFAs and EPA and DHA coming from Ω-3 PUFAs. The typical Western diet is low on PUFAs and has a low Ω-3/Ω-6 ratio. Shifting the balance to a higher Ω-3 content leads to weight loss, presumably through differential activation of the endocannabinoidsystem (Watkins and Kim, 2014).
DHEA is synthesized from DHA, the most abundant Ω-3 Fatty Acid in the brain.

Here I'll told you that how I joined Film Annex and how I started work at Film Annex. One of my friend told me about the Film Annex when I was in the 5th semester of Electronics Engineering. Firstly I refused to join because I was completely unaware of this and I had no idea how to join, how to work. Few days passed and I was free from my final exam of 5th semester and I was passing my holidays with my family at Home. Thus the same friend called me on my cell and told me that I have invited you on Film Annex through your gmail id and told me that just register yourself and get start your work. I log in though my gmail and saw that one invitation email has been received for Film annex. I simply signed up and joined Film Annex on 23rd July, 2014.
At the start I didn't know that what to do while staying with Film annex. When my vacations was finished then I came to my University for 6th semester. At university my friend brief me about work at Film annex. Thus I took a start at 6th Feb, 2014. And I write the First blog with the "Young Models in Pakistan". I also made an alternative Facebook id for sharing the blogs and movies. Thus I add few members of Film Annex and also sent them my first blog link to share that. The work seems to be very amazing and interesting. The another day when I saw it that the buzz score jumped to 5 from 0. I was quite happy to saw the buzz score and continued my work. The third day my buzz scored jumped to 23 from 5. Thus it encourage me a lot and I became fond of using Film Annex.
But the problem was the "Blocking of Facebook id" by sharing and adding the Film annex users at the start. Total of my 5 Facebook id have been blocked at the first 2 months. Then I heard somewhere that old Facebook id does not block from sharing and adding more peoples. The problem was that I have only one old id which I use from 2008. Thus I remembered that I once made a Facebook id for my small brother who read now in class 6th. Thus he does not use Facebook id and therefore I captured that id and made some changes like name and profile pic and also some info in about. Thus I started work and knew that Facebook id was not blocked again and again and still using it.
Now with honesty and hard work I received 2 salaries from Film annex and still I am the daily user of Film Annex. Today I have 8 referrals and they are also working. Film annex give us a chance to express and present our ideas, thinking, logics, Philosophy etc. Thus join Film annex and meet with your own thinking with in your world,,,!!
Subscribe me at Film annex for more blogs.
Ah well, that IS spam... thanks for clarifying that to me.
So on Facebook you would send a link to one of your blogs through private message and facebook would block your account?
@mauryr dear I mean by "Blocking of Facebook id" is that whenever we send our blogs or movies links to no of friends in a message then it would be blocked.
the problem was the "Blocking of Facebook id" <- what do you mean by this?


HENRIETTA S. FINER & another vs. MOSES H. STEUER.
Present: Rugg, C.J., Braley, Pierce, Wait, & Sanderson, JJ.
Will, Validity: execution. Marriage and Divorce, Foreign marriage. Evidence, Presumptions and burden of proof, Foreign law, Proof of validity of marriage. Probate Court, Findings by judge, Appeal, Parties.
While it is the established rule in this Commonwealth that, if a will is contested, the three subscribing witnesses should be produced if living and within the jurisdiction of the court, it was proper for a judge of probate hearing a contested petition for proof of a will to find that the will was properly executed by a competent person and to admit it to probate, although but one of the subscribing witnesses testifies before him, if a second witness, not a resident of the Commonwealth, testifies by deposition, and evidence is introduced to show that the third witness had left his residence in this Commonwealth, had not been heard of by his family for more than two years, and could not be found.
At the hearing above described, it was proper to exclude an affidavit, not a deposition, alleged to have been signed and sworn to by the third attesting witness stating in effect that the will was not signed in his presence and that the other attesting witnesses did not sign in his presence.
his wife dies before him, two persons born to him and his wife have a right under G.L. c. 193, § 7, to offer the will for probate.
Where a brother of an alleged testator, contending that the testator never married, that his children were illegitimate, and that he was his brother's heir at law, seeks to oppose the proof of a will which disposes of the decedent's property for the benefit of "all children that may survive me," and appeals from a decree of the Probate Court allowing the will, the burden is upon him to prove by a fair preponderance of evidence that he has a right to contest the will as an heir and to appeal from the decree of the Probate Court.
At the hearing of a petition by the alleged children of the testator above described to strike the appearance of the brother from the record as one having no interest in the estate of the decedent, and of a petition of the brother to strike the names of the daughters from the record, it appeared that the alleged marriage of the testator was solemnized in Austria in accordance with the rites of the Jewish religion, that the testator and the mother of the petitioners had lived together in Austria and in this Commonwealth as man and wife, and that six children had been born of the union. There was in evidence documentary evidence as to the law of Austria. The judge found that he was "not satisfied on the evidence" before him "as to just what was the law of Austria at the time of said marriage ceremony . . . that there was a failure to prove before me any facts showing that the contracting parties to said marriage had failed to comply with the requirements of those laws," and found that the marriage was valid and that the brother was not entitled as a person interested in the estate to contest the proof of the will. On appeal by the brother, with the evidence reported, it was held, that, as an examination of the evidence did not show that the findings by the judge were clearly wrong, the appeal must be dismissed and a decree allowing the will affirmed.
A ceremony of marriage performed in a foreign jurisdiction and followed by cohabitation, is presumed to have been performed according to law, and one attacking it has the burden of proving its invalidity.
PETITION, filed in the Probate Court for the county of Suffolk on August 18, 1921, by Henrietta S. Finer and Elisabeth Steuer for proof of the will of Bernard Steuer and the appointment of the petitioners as administratrices with the will annexed.
"as an heir" and also as a creditor; on September 24, 1921, he presented for filing a petition for the framing of an issue to a jury as to the validity of the will; and on November 17, 1924, a petition that the names of the four alleged daughters of the decedent "be stricken from the records in this case as heirs at law, next of kin, or entitled in any way to any interest in the estate of said Bernard Steuer, and that they be declared not entitled to be heard as interested parties on the issue of the allowance of the alleged will of said Bernard Steuer."
The petitioner Finer on January 28, 1924, filed a petition "that the appearance of said Moses H. Steuer as a party in interest, as aforesaid, be stricken from the record."
and that he did not sign in the presence of the testator or of the other alleged attesting witnesses. There was other evidence as to Weinfeld which is described in the judge's findings, infra. The first hearing then was adjourned.
The petitions were further heard together in full on November 17, 1924, by Prest, J., a stenographer having again been appointed under G.L. c. 215, § 18, to take the evidence.
Findings by the judge as to the execution of the will were as follows: "The petitioners presented before me in person one Hyman Fortgang, one of the witnesses of said last will, who gave evidence as to the execution of said will. The petitioners also presented the deposition of one Louis Aaron, who was a witness to the will and who in 1908 was a duly admitted attorney at law practising in Boston, and who is now an attorney at law practising in Seattle, in the State of Washington. The petitioners endeavored to summon as a witness Louis Weinfeld, the third witness to the will. They presented evidence showing that they were unable to obtain service upon him. They did produce the wife and a brother of said Louis Weinfeld, and there was evidence that in July, 1922, said Louis Weinfeld left his residence, then in said Boston, and had not been heard of by his family since that time."
Other material evidence and findings by the judge are described in the opinion. By order of the judge, decrees were entered that the four alleged daughters of the decedent were his legitimate children and that Moses H. Steuer was his brother and not an heir at law or a party in interest; allowing the petition to strike the appearance of Moses H. Steuer from the record; denying the petition of Moses H. Steuer that the names of the four alleged daughters be struck from the record; granting the petition for the allowance of the will and issuance of letters testamentary with the will annexed to the petitioning daughters. Moses H. Steuer appealed from all decrees.
O. Storer, for the respondent.
A. K. Cohen, (M. L. Lourie & M. E. Bernkopf with him,) for the petitioners.
SANDERSON, J. Bernard Steuer died in Boston, August 5, 1921, leaving a will in which Jennie D. Steuer, therein referred to as his wife, was nominated as executrix. She died about three weeks prior to the date of his death and the will was offered for probate by two of the petitioners who allege that they are daughters of the testator and that they and two other daughters are his heirs at law and next of kin. Moses H. Steuer, a brother of Bernard, entered his appearance as a creditor and heir, and moved that issues be framed to determine the validity of the will. The questions here involved relate to the decrees admitting the will to probate, granting the motion of one of the petitioners asking that the appearance of Moses H. Steuer be stricken from the record, and denying the petition of Moses H. Steuer to strike from the record the names of the petitioners for the probate of the will, and their two sisters, on the ground that they are not the legitimate children of Bernard Steuer and are not entitled to any interest in his estate. The petition for the probate of the will was heard by the judge at the same time with the motions hereinbefore mentioned. Moses H. Steuer was given opportunity to be heard upon all of these matters. The only ground upon which the probate of the will was opposed was that it was not properly executed. During the hearing on this matter Moses H. Steuer said: "I have no objection to the allowance of the will provided it should not act as res judicata in the trial of that question in the Land Court."
Two of the witnesses to the will testified, one orally and one by deposition. Upon the testimony of one of these witnesses, that the legal formalities required in the execution of a will were complied with, the probate judge could find that the will was duly executed and admit it to probate unless prevented from so doing by the absence of the third witness. Tilden v. Tilden, 13 Gray 110. Hammill v. Weeks, 225 Mass. 245. The petitioners offered evidence tending to prove that they were unable to make service on this witness, and that he left Boston in July, 1922, and had not been heard of by his family since that time. His signature to the will was identified.
The rule is well established that if a will is contested the three subscribing witnesses should be produced, if living and subject to the process of the court. Chase v. Lincoln, 3 Mass. 236. Howes v. Colburn, 165 Mass. 385. O'Connell v. Dow, 182 Mass. 541. Nunn v. Ehlert, 218 Mass. 471. The judge found that the petitioners endeavored to summon this witness and that their evidence showed they were unable to get service on him. The practice adopted in this case is not in violation of that recognized by the decisions. The affidavit of this absent witness offered by the defendant was not admissible and the ruling excluding it was right.
"The decree of the court admitting the will to probate is in the nature of a judgment in rem, which establishes the will against all the world. Any person interested may make himself a party to the proceedings by applying to the proper tribunal." Bonnemort v. Gill, 167 Mass. 338, 340.
The will made provision for the testator's children, and the petitioners as possible beneficiaries under it had a right to offer it for probate. G.L. c. 193, § 7.
The issue of legitimacy of the children was first specifically raised by the motion of Moses H. Steuer, although the same question was incidentally involved in his appearance to oppose the will as an heir at law, and in the motion of one of the petitioners that the appearance of Moses H. Steuer be stricken from the record. At the hearing, the appellant admitted that the testator and Jennie D. Weinfeld were married in Austria in 1878 or 1879, at a wedding ceremony performed in accordance with the requirements of the Jewish religion, and were the parents of the petitioners and their two sisters, but he contended that the marriage was illegal. The question, whether Moses H. Steuer was entitled to contest the probate of the will as an heir, is preliminary to the question whether the instrument offered for probate is to be allowed, even if the issues are tried together. Wellington v. De Cordova, 251 Mass. 229.
right. If he fails, the motion to strike his name from the record will be allowed. The practical effect of a failure on his part to prove that he was a party in interest would be the same even if no such motion had been filed. Henry v. Estey, 13 Gray 336.
This court has no jurisdiction to consider an appeal from a decree of the Probate Court unless it is taken by a person aggrieved by the decree. G.L. c. 215, § 9. Pattee v. Stetson, 170 Mass. 93, 94. In the present case the sole ground for entertaining the appeal of Moses H. Steuer from the decree allowing the will is his contention that he is heir at law and next of kin of his brother. The burden is upon him to prove by a fair preponderance of evidence that he had a right to contest the will as an heir and to appeal from the decree of the Probate Court. Pattee v. Stetson, supra. If neither his pecuniary interest nor personal rights are affected by the decree, he is not a person aggrieved. Pierce v. Gould, 143 Mass. 234. Smith v. Bradstreet, 16 Pick. 264. Lawless v. Reagan, 128 Mass. 592. Leyland v. Leyland, 186 Mass. 420. It is within the power of the court to require the appellant to prove his standing at once as the first step in his case. Goff v. Britton, 182 Mass. 293, 295. If Moses H. Steuer is not an heir at law of the testator, his appeal from the allowance of the will should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Pattee v. Stetson, supra. Goff v. Britton, supra, page 294.
The ruling that the burden was upon the children to prove that they were legitimate was too favorable to the appellant.
Steuer and said Jennie D. Steuer and purporting to join them as husband and wife, was illegal in that the said ceremony was performed without complying with certain laws of Austria, which compliance he claimed was a necessary prerequisite to a valid marriage. There was no claim that the said Henrietta S. Finer, Celia S. Wasserman, Elisabeth Steuer and Marion Steuer were not the children of said Bernard Steuer and Jennie D. Steuer, the said Moses H. Steuer claiming that they were the natural children of said Bernard Steuer and Jennie D. Steuer.
"A commission was duly issued authorizing the taking of depositions of certain persons in Mielec, to which commission interrogatories and objections thereto were duly attached. Moses H. Steuer admitted and I find that he personally carried said commission to Mielec, that he interviewed the witnesses, that he interviewed and employed the magistrate who took the depositions, and that he, the said Moses H. Steuer, accompanied the witnesses on the railroad train from Mielec to the town in which the office of the magistrate was located and talked with the witnesses while on the train, and that he was in the corridor leading to and remained just outside of the office of the magistrate during the time the witnesses gave their depositions. Said Moses H. Steuer admitted and I find that he personally received from said magistrate said commission and depositions, and that he brought them from Poland to this city and deposited them with the register of probate in this county.

Steuer for some three or four years lived together as husband and wife in said town, their first home being with and in the residence of an uncle of said Bernard Steuer and said Moses H. Steuer; that during that period two children were born to them in said town, one of whom died in infancy, and the other of whom is said Henrietta S. Finer, one of the petitioners; that in 1882 said Bernard Steuer came to this country and was later joined by his wife and child; that they lived together in Boston or its immediate vicinity and principally in Boston, from that time until the time of their respective deaths, that the said Jennie D. Steuer having predeceased said Bernard Steuer by about three weeks; that here there were four more children born to them, one of whom died, having never married, when he was about nineteen years of age, and the other three being said Celia S. Wasserman, said Elisabeth Steuer and said Marion Steuer. All of said living children lived at home with their parents to the time of their respective marriages, and the said Elisabeth Steuer and said Marion Steuer lived with their parents up to the time of their death.
"For this period of nearly forty years the said Bernard Steuer and the said Jennie D. Steuer lived together as husband and wife and were known as husband and wife in the communities in which they lived, and were so recognized and regarded by those who knew them. I find that they were both very religious persons, having strong faith and belief in the Jewish religion. Some evidence of this is shown in the language contained in said last will. I find that the father of said Bernard Steuer and Moses H. Steuer died when they were very young and that later their mother remarried in said Mielec and that there are now living born of said remarriage three children, half sisters of said Bernard Steuer and Moses H. Steuer.
the only evidence submitted on that question of fact. Upon an examination of said volumes, and of translations made therefrom, which translations the parties, without prejudice to their respective rights, agreed were substantially correct, I am not satisfied on the evidence before me as to just what was the law of Austria at the time of said marriage ceremony. Assuming that said volumes constituted proof of the law of Austria as it was at the time of said marriage, I find that there was a failure to prove before me any facts showing that the contracting parties to said marriage had failed to comply with the requirements of those laws.
"I further find that the said marriage ceremony was valid and legal and that said Bernard Steuer and Jennie D. Steuer were lawful husband and wife and continued to live as such from the time of said marriage to July 19, 1921, when said Jennie D. Steuer died, and that said Bernard Steuer died on August 5, 1921. I find that said Henrietta S. Finer, Celia S. Wasserman, Elisabeth Steuer, and Marion Steuer are the legitimate children of the deceased testator, Bernard Steuer. I further find that said Moses H. Steuer is a brother of said Bernard Steuer but is not his heir-at-law and is not a party in interest."
Marriage may be proved by an admission thereof by an adverse party, by evidence of general repute or of cohabitation of the parties as married persons, or of any other fact from which it may be inferred. G.L. c. 207, § 47. A marriage may be proved by oral evidence without offering a record. Commonwealth v. Dill, 156 Mass. 226. Commonwealth v. Hayden, 163 Mass. 453.
as husband and wife . . . . The spirit of the statute would be violated by holding the parties to be fornicators and the children illegitimate." Meyers v. Pope, 110 Mass. 314, 316. See Loring v. Thorndike, 5 Allen 257, 260. A marriage de facto being proved, it is presumed to be according to law. "As if a marriage were proved to have taken place in France, for instance, it should seem fit to require the party who denies the marriage to prove its invalidity." Raynham v. Canton, 3 Pick. 293, 297. "A marriage solemnized by a priest, and under which the parties have cohabited as husband and wife, is prima facie a valid marriage everywhere." Commonwealth v. Kenney, 120 Mass. 387, 388.
It follows that a person attacking a foreign marriage has the burden of proving the foreign law on which he relies. "Where there is no extrinsic evidence either way, the legality of a marriage, like sanity, continuance of life, or regularity of acts of public officers, will be assumed. But where it is attacked and evidence is introduced tending to impeach it, then a question of fact arises to be proved in the light of all the circumstances and the reasonable inferences from them. . . . . The law jealously regards the marriage relation and makes reasonable assumptions in its favor . . . . The validity or invalidity of the marriage drawn in question must be established, by the party upon whom the burden of proof is cast, upon all the facts with the reasonable inferences flowing from them." Turner v. Williams, 202 Mass. 500, 504, 505.
assume that this, as well as all other evidence admitted, was considered by the judge and given such weight as he thought it entitled to in reaching his decision. The other books, offered to prove the law and admitted subject to the appellees' exceptions, were published after 1878 and it could be found that they did not purport to be published by authority of the Austrian or Polish governments or that they were commonly used as evidence in their courts. G.L. c. 233, § 70. Bride v. Clark, 161 Mass. 130. There was evidence tending to prove that the code of Austria had not been published officially since 1811 and that official copies could not be obtained because the first edition exists only in libraries. The probate judge was apparently unable to decide upon the evidence what the law of Austria at the time of the marriage was.
of the appellant, unless the exceptions saved by him show reversible error. All of these exceptions which have been argued have been considered and they show no reversible error. No good purpose would be served by stating them in detail. It follows that Moses H. Steuer had no right to be heard in opposition to the will as a party interested, and no right to appeal from a decree allowing the will as a party aggrieved.
The decrees allowing the petition to strike out the appearance of Moses H. Steuer and denying the petition of Moses H. Steuer that the names of the heirs at law and next of kin mentioned in the petition for the probate of the will be stricken from the record are affirmed, with costs of this appeal; and the appeal from the decree approving and allowing the will is dismissed.

Evonik Research Prize for lithium-ion battery test cell with separated electrodes
For years, small rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have reliably supplied billions of portable devices with energy. But manufacturers of high-energy applications such as electric cars and power storage systems seek for new electrode materials and electrolytes. Michael Metzger, researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has now developed a new battery test cell allowing to investigate anionic and cationic reactions separately. Recently the researcher was honored with the Evonik Research Prize for his work.
Exotic Quantum States Made from Light: Physicists Create Optical "Wells" for a Super-Photon
Physicists at the University of Bonn have managed to create optical hollows and more complex patterns into which the light of a Bose-Einstein condensate flows. The creation of such highly low-loss structures for light is a prerequisite for complex light circuits, such as for quantum information processing for a new generation of computers. The researchers are now presenting their results in the journal Nature Photonics.
Explanation for Puzzling Quantum Oscillations has been Found
So-called quantum many-body scars allow quantum systems to stay out of equilibrium much longer, explaining experiment | Study published in Nature Physics. Recently, researchers from Harvard and MIT succeeded in trapping a record 53 atoms and individually controlling their quantum state, realizing what is called a quantum simulator.
Exploring the Phenomenon of Superconductivity
Fermions in flatland pair up at very high temperatures: Using ultracold atoms, researchers at Heidelberg University have found an exotic state of matter where the constituent particles pair up when limited to two dimensions. The findings from the field of quantum physics may hold important clues to intriguing phenomena of superconductivity. The results were published in Science magazine.
An international research group led by scientists from the University of Bayreuth has produced a previously unknown material: Rhenium nitride pernitride. Thanks to combining properties that were previously considered incompatible, it looks set to become highly attractive for technological applications. Indeed, it is a super-hard metallic conductor that can withstand extremely high pressures like a diamond. A process now developed in Bayreuth opens up the possibility of producing rhenium nitride pernitride and other technologically interesting materials in sufficiently large quantity for their properties characterisation. The new findings are presented in "Nature Communications".
Each atomic layer thin, tear-resistant, and stable. Graphene is seen as the material of the future. It is ideal for e.g. producing ultra-light electronics or highly stable mechanical components. But the wafer-thin carbon layers are difficult to produce. At the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Jürgen Kraus has manufactured self-supporting graphene membranes, and at the same time systematically investigated and optimized the growth of the graphene crystals. He was awarded the Evonik Research Prize for his work.
Fewer Laboratory Animals Thanks to Secondary Nanobodies
Antibodies are indispensable in biological research and medical diagnostics. However, their production is time-consuming, expensive, and requires the use of many animals. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, have now developed so-called secondary nanobodies that can replace the most-used antibodies and may drastically reduce the number of animals in antibody production. This is possible because the secondary nanobodies can be produced in large scale by bacteria. Moreover, the secondary nanobodies outperform their traditional antibody counterparts in key cell-biological applications.
Fiber-based Quantum Communication - Interference of Photons Using Remote Sources
Scientists are working on the totally bug-proof communication – the so-called quantum communication. Current approaches for long-distance signal transmission rely on repeaters which are based on a crucial effect, the interference of two photons, that is, two individual light quanta coming from distant sources. Physicists from University of Stuttgart and Saarland University, in Germany, were now able to manipulate the single photons by means of small crystals without compromising their quantum mechanical nature. This manipulation is necessary to transmit the signal via optical fibers which may enable a large-area quantum network. The results were now published in Nature Nanotechnology.
Fighting Forgetfulness with Nanotechnology
About 29 million people around the world are affected by the disease "Alzheimer". In an international collaboration, scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz together with teams from Italy, Great Britain, Belgium and the USA are now working together on an approach for a therapy. On the one hand, the goal is to understand the processes occurring in the brain that lead to the disease; on the other hand the development of a method for targeted drug delivery.
Fine Felted Nanotubes: CAU Research Team Develops New Composite Material Made of Carbon Nanotubes
Due to their unique properties, carbon nanotubes would be ideal for numerous applications, from ultra-lightweight batteries to high-performance plastics, right through to medical implants. But they either cannot be combined adequately with other materials, or they then lose their beneficial properties. Scientists from Kiel University and the University of Trento have now developed an alternative combining method, so that they retain their characteristic properties. As such, they "felt" the thread-like tubes into a stable 3D network that is able to withstand extreme forces. The research results have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
Fire and Flame for New Surfaces
The printing, coating and bonding of plastics requires the surface to be pre-treated. Flame treatment is one way to achieve this so-called activation. It is currently being used in many industrial sectors and has considerable potential for development. The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam and the Italian company esse CI are uniting their expertise in surface chemistry and machine engineering in order to clearly expand the opportunities provided by flame treatment and to extend the range of surface properties. Interested companies can take part in the development of this technology and help advance its industrialization.
Fireproofing Made of recycled paper
Scientists at Empa teamed up with isofloc AG to develop an insulating material made of recycled paper. It is ideal for prefabricated wooden elements and even multistory timber houses, and protects the construction against fire. What's more: The additive it contains is harmless to humans, animals and the environment. Franziska Grüneberger looks contented; clutching a nondescript cube made of grey flakes in her hand the researcher in the laborato-ry for applied wood materials has achieved her goal: Very little chemistry went into the cube, but no shortage of technical expertise. The tiny object is "living" proof that giant mountains of waste paper can be transformed into a valuable, fireproof insulating material – a big step to save fossil fuels. Not that anyone could tell just by looking at it.
First Diode for Magnetic Fields
Innsbruck quantum physicists have constructed a diode for magnetic fields and then tested it in the laboratory. The device, developed by the research groups led by the theorist Oriol Romero-Isart and the experimental physicist Gerhard Kirchmair, could open up a number of new applications. Electric diodes are essential electronic components that conduct electricity in one direction but prevent conduction in the opposite one. They are found at the core of any electronic component, being one of the most essential building blocks.
First Random Laser Made of Paper-Based Ceramics
Working with physicists from the University of Rome, a team led by Professor Cordt Zollfrank from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) built the first controllable random laser based on cellulose paper in Straubing. The team thereby showed how naturally occurring structures can be adapted for technical applications. Hence, materials no longer need to be artificially outfitted with disordered structures, utilizing naturally occurring ones instead.
First Single-photon Source that Works with Atomic Gases at Room Temperature
Researchers of the Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology IQST at the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart (Head: Prof. Tilman Pfau) have developed a novel, promising variant of a light source for the smallest possible energy packages - a so-called single-photon source. Their work has been published in the latest issue of the journal Science.*

FlexPLAS®Release Film – Release Agent Free Manufacture of FRP Components in Complex Hot Press Molds
At the JEC 2018 fair in Paris (6-8 March) the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM will present for the first time the use of flexible FlexPLAS® release film in complex hot press molds. You are invited to visit us on the communal stand of CFK Valley in Hall 5 A, Stand E 58. The plasma-coated FlexPLAS® release film developed by Fraunhofer IFAM (Bremen and Stade) has already been successfully used for a number of years for the manufacture of contaminant-free fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) components.
Foldable Like an Accordion: International Research Team Bends Individual Nanostructures
Since a research group at Kiel University (CAU) and the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) in Hamburg-Harburg has developed aerographite – one of the most light weight materials in the world – in the year 2012 -, they have continued researching about it. Its complex tetrapodal architecture gives the carbon-based 3D material very unique properties, such as extremely high elasticity and electrical conductivity. Now, for the first time, as part of an international research team, materials scientists from the CAU were able to fold the individual hollow tetrapods, each measuring only a few micrometers in size.
FOSA LabX 330 Glass – Coating Flexible Glass in a Roll-to-Roll Process
The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP and VON ARDENNE will intensify their cooperation in the field of the coating of flexible glass. Due to its properties, this new material is ideally suited as a substrate for various applications in flexible electronics. Since October 2016, the two partners have been operating the roll-to-roll coating system FOSA LabX 330 Glass together. This new, innovative machine was especially developed for processing flexible glass by the equipment manufacturer VON ARDENNE, which is based in Dresden, Germany. It is the first of its kind worldwide.

Jeff's Record
U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Jackson makes stop in Salisbury during '100 counties in 100 days' tour
Salisbury Post: U.S Senate candidate Jeff Jackson makes stop in Salisbury during '100 counties in 100 days' tour
SALISBURY — State Sen. Jeff Jackson on Monday stopped at City Park to talk with locals about the most important issues in the race for the U.S. Senate seat on the ballot in 2022.
Jackson is a Democrat representing part of Mecklenburg County in the N.C. General Assembly, an attorney, Afghan war veteran and National Guardsman seeking to succeed three-term Republican Sen. Richard Burr, who says he's not seeking reelection in 2022. Other Democratic challengers at this time include former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley and former state senator Erica Smith, who lost the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 2020 to challenge Republican incumbent Thom Tillis.
At least 50 people joined Jackson for a discussion of issues from a racial equity, early childhood education, broadband and gerrymandering. Rowan County was the third stop on Jackson's "100 town halls in 100 counties in 100 days" tour, which began in Guilford County on Saturday.
Jackson began his remarks by explaining the daunting process of political consultants developing key phrases and talking points for the campaign once a candidate decides to run in such a race. He added that his 100-county tour is intended to humanize him and combat misinformation by seeing folks face-to-face and presenting an honest view.
Smith has also announced a "100-county in 100 days" tour but has not yet made her first stop.
"I think you all have come to see less and less every (election) cycle," Jackson said. "Your expectations keep falling, less energy, less transparency, a lot less substance. We want a campaign that raises your expectations."
Jackson said preschool and early childhood education will be a big part of his campaign. He praised Transylvania County for its nationally recognized early childhood education, noting that the small county has worked to reach every child. He praised the state as a whole for being the first in the nation to make full-day kindergarten universally available.
Norma Honeycutt, who is executive director of Partners in Learning, asked about teacher pay, noting that after working on the upcoming fiscal year budget she can now raise her lowest employee salary to $9 an hour and $15 for the salary of her highest-ranking employee with an associate's degree.
"How on Earth are we going to find teachers? In my over 40-year experience, we have never been in this kind of crisis," Honeycutt said. "And $9 is nothing. Fifteen dollars an hour to go to school for two years is nothing."
Jackson said there's something wrong with the fact that someone can make more working at Wendy's than working at a high-quality preschool. He referenced his bill in the North Carolina General Assembly, Senate Bill 713, which calls for more funding above the base budget in the program to allow more children to participate and a tax credit to certain early education teachers and directors
Local resident Emily Perry discussed the community's grassroots attempts at working toward racial equity, citing the Rowan Concerned Citizens group and Covenant Community Connection. She asked Jackson how issues of school infrastructure, broadband and gun violence can be addressed. Jackson said doing so requires looking at issues through an equity lens. While those three issues typically result in disparate outcomes for people of color, he added housing, health care and criminal justice to the list.
Jackson recalled a slew of gun bills filed in North Carolina following the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in 2018. Though North Carolina's bills were modeled after Florida, which passed them with a Republican majority, they died following discussions in a bipartisan committee established to study the issue.
Jackson was also one of two lawmakers in 2016 to vote against a bill that no longer deemed police body camera footage a public record.
Jackson said the issue of gerrymandering may be the top one for racial equity, especially because it lays the groundwork for systemic racism seen throughout American history. North Carolina lawmakers are tasked with redistricting later this year, and an independent commission is unlikely. Jackson recalled Republicans pushing for bills to end gerrymandering when Democrats were in control of the state legislature, and Democrats throwing them out because they didn't expect to lose the majority. Republicans took both chambers in 2010, and Democrats then proposed an independent redistricting commission. Republicans, despite attempts from local legislators such as state Rep. Harry Warren, have been hesitant to take the issue on.
Jackson said hope lies in H.R.1, a measure in Congress aimed at expanding voting rights, changing campaign finance laws, limiting partisan gerrymandering and creating new ethics rules for elected officials.
"So what are we going to do? Are we committed to this or not," Jackson said. "Yes, I think we should be. And you can send as many angry emails to Joe Manchin as you want. Or you can just elect me, and we're good."
Tamara Sheffield, a Salisbury City Council member, asked about protections for marginalized communities, aging individuals in housing as well as a state broadband bill designed to prevent the city from growing its fiber-optic network, initially known as Fibrant. Jackson said a bill to lift that restriction has been filed and federal funds for broadband under the current administration are expected. Additionally, investing more into the low-income housing tax credits is the biggest financial lever to pull for affordable housing, he said.
Other issues Jackson highlighted include action on climate, which he foresees being a major part of President Joe Biden's infrastructure plan, and the legalization of marijuana for increased tax revenue. North Carolina farmers are knowledgeable about the climate crisis, he added, and action on both issues would benefit them.
Jackson also touched on the need for a raise in the minimum wage, LGBTQ rights and abortion.
"The more you actually talk to people, the less this is used as a cultural wedge issue and the more it becomes a conversation," Jackson said, adding that he intends to be conversational with any voter questioning his pro-choice stance. "It's my job to speak as well as I can in defense of your right to make decisions over your body without someone from the government getting involved between you and your doctor."

A senior Labour MP has offered a damning assessment of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership as she lifted the lid on her time working for him.
Sharon Hodgson, who has been an MP for over a decade and served in various shadow ministerial roles, explained how she was "completely undermined" by Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and not backed up by Mr Corbyn.
The Washington and Sunderland West MP said shadow ministers were "over-run by the leadership or ignored" on policy.
Ms Hodgson, who was one of 60 of Mr Corbyn's shadow ministerial team who resigned in protest at his leadership last month, also warned Labour was "teetering on the edge of political irrelevance".
In a candid account posted on her website, the former shadow education minister told of the "lack of respect" for her work under Mr Corbyn and laid out why she was backing Owen Smith for leader.
She recounted an astonishing incident following work on a manifesto policy around children with special needs and disabilities – putting the plans together, seeking media coverage and launching the proposals.
"Three days after the launch, I found out that my review had been completely undermined by our Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell," Ms Hodgson wrote.
"Without consulting me, John had announced his support for a Shadow Neurodiversity Minister and an autism manifesto.
"My office picked up John's announcement on Twitter, and subsequently raised the issue with him, requesting an opportunity to meet to discuss the matter further.
Ms Hodgson says she went to Mr Corbyn with her complaint, to which he said "I appreciate the point" but never followed up with a promised apology or discussion.
Ms Hodgson went on: "In all my time in Parliament, I have never experienced such lack of communication or respect for a shadow minister's work from a Leader.
"To form a credible and effective opposition, a Leader must work with the PLP and respect the opinions of their shadow ministers.
Labour has faced a string of dire poll ratings in the last week, including two giving the Conservatives double digit leads and one suggesting millions of Labour voters at the last election would now back Theresa May.
Responding to the grim numbers, a spokesman for Mr Corbyn's leadership campaign said: "Before the attempts began to remove Jeremy Corbyn as leader, Labour and the Tories were neck-and-neck in the polls.
One of the PLPlotters within the ChickenCoup pens a letter saying that Corbyn was rubbish.... well there's a shocker - Not!
Leslie, you don't seem to grasp the concept of representative parliamentary democracy. An MP represents all his constituents not just members of the Labour Party. They are not delegates but representatives empowered to make decisions as they see fit. And just for information Corbyn defied the party whip on over 600 occasions, that is went against official party whip. We even had the ludicrous situation of a Leader of the Labour Party defying democratically agreed Labour policy on Trident. How is that representing the membership? Corbyn's politics are those of protest, he's never left the students union and it will take more than 300,000 internet supporters to get elected. In fact typically you need about 13m. His chance of doing that..... Absolute zero.

For many who have had a near death experiences (NDE), the experience has had a profoundly religious effect on them, changed their outlook and led them to live more altruistic, less materialistic lives. Perhaps, in order to understand NDEs better, we need to understand religious experiences better. Many people have in fact likened NDEs to religious experiences.
Although the scientific study of religious experience is still in its infancy, there has certainly been some progress in this area in the last 30 years. Dr Andrew Newberg, a radiology professor and neurological imaging specialist at the University of Pennsylvania, is a leading figure in the study of the brain biology (neurobiology) of religious experiences. He has used high-tech imaging techniques to observe changes in brain function that occur during meditation and deep prayer. It is thought that his work may ultimately help to show how our minds move beyond the self and open to the divine.
In his book Why God Won't Go Away and numerous scientific publications Newberg has described the results of experiments that he and others have carried out. These have demonstrated that prayerful meditation is correlated with a quieting of activity and reduction in blood flow in the posterior superior parietal lobe, an area that lies towards the middle of the brain and is normally responsible for providing us with our sense of orientation. This may indicate how the person meditating is experiencing oneness with the 'sacred' and a loss of boundaries of the self. Studies have also demonstrated that the frontal and temporal areas of the brain become active during meditation.
At the same time various chemical changes have been shown to take place in the blood. There is an increase in melatonin and serotonin levels and a reduction in cortisol (a steroid hormone) and epinephrine levels. This makes sense, as the former two hormones are involved in relaxation, whereas the latter two are increased during physical stress.
Ultimately, from a scientific point of view, all that we experience, including religious experiences and NDEs, are mediated by the brain. Undoubtedly we will one day discover the molecular mediators of religious experiences and NDEs and also the exact areas of the brain that mediate them, but this will only tell us what parts of the brain are involved in the experiences, not whether the experiences are real.
Our brain and our senses limit our ability to determine what is truly real. Therefore until the correct experiments can be done, we may have to move away from thinking about whether NDEs are real or not. We do not have the physical senses to determine whether there is an external reality beyond what we can perceive and we have not yet developed the scientific instruments that will allow us to determine this objectively.

These particular stones are natural gold in white quartz, set in 14 karat yellow gold lever-back earrings with 18 points of channel set round brilliant diamonds. Pure veins of gold were forced into quartz by hydro-thermal pressure while they were both in a molten state. These rare formations are found in their natural state by hard rock miners. Pieces of exceptional quality are hand cut into individual stones and polished. Each gemstone of gold dispersed crystal is one of a kind.

Beit She'an ampitheatre, site of many gory, bloody "sports."
…is one of the hottest places to live on earth, one of Israel's oldest cities, and Beit She'an also boasts a vast national park of archeology. Just make sure you visit in the winter.
Because of its fertility and convenient location, the Beit Shean Valley has been inhabited since antiquity. It is mentioned several times in the Bible.
The earliest occupation dates back to early biblical times. The valley is a part of the Jordan valley, and stretches in a soft slope towards the Jordan, and in the East the Jezreal Valley imperceptibly links with it. The valley has been on the trade route to the east since the earliest times and Beit Shean was just in the right place to control it. It also has a perennial spring, the Harod River. Characteristic fishponds are scattered through the entire valley.
Sacred temple district in Beit She'am
Tel Beit Shean, a part of the National Park on the site, contains 15 subsequent occupation layers. So this means 15 cities jumbled on top of each other! The most important layers are from the Egyptian occupation in Canaan and belong archaeologically to the Bronze Age. The height of the Tel is impressive, 80 meters, but its diameter measures only a few acres. The Tel has been excavated thoroughly from the 1980's and has harvested some Egyptian objects, but the remains from other periods are rather disappointing.
As mentioned Beit Shean was controlled by the Egyptians, from the time when Pharaoh Tutmose III (15th Century BCE) made it an Egyptian administrative centre. The city is mentioned in several Egyptian texts, one of them a list of cities that the Egyptians conquered in Israel under the pharaoh Shishak (he is also mentioned in the Bible). The Egyptian occupation lasted for 3 centuries. During this time a temple crowned the top of the tel.
Thereafter it became a Canaanite city. Its first mention in the Bible is also as a Canaanite city. In Judges 1:27 Beit Shean is mentioned as belonging to the conquered area of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh, but in reality the Israelites were not advanced enough yet to be able to conquer a fortified stone city. Besides that, they would have met with the forces of the Canaanites who had chariots, while the Israelites fought on foot.
The Canaanite city was conquered by the Israelites' eternal enemy, who did ride on chariots, the Philistines, in the 11th Century BCE.
In the famous battle of the Israelites against the Philistines on Mount Gilboa, the dead bodies of King Saul and his son Jonathan were hung on the walls of Beit Shean (1 Samuel 31:10). About this mournful event King David sang his lament, which is one of the best known and moving poems of the Bible (2 Samuel 1:27-27). In his poem David pays homage to King Saul, who pursued David to his death (but did not succeed), and to Jonathan, his best friend "whose love [was] more wonderful than the love of women."
After this Beit Shean is listed as one of the cities in the kingdom of Solomon (1 Kings 4: 12).
After that nothing seems to have happened anymore (maybe the settlement was moved to Tel Rehov?). There are no sources about Beit Shean until the 3rd Century BCE, when it was a Greek city with the name of 'Scythopolis'. The name that refers to the Scythes, has not been explained so far.
Probably at this time the city moved to the lower location at the foot of the tel. Under the Syrian king Antiochus IV (the one from the story of Chanukah) the name of the city was changed temporarily again to 'Nysa', this was a reference to the Greek god Dionysos, who was said to have been brought up here by his nymphs.
Josephus writes in his Antiquities that the Hasmonean kings also ruled in the city, and that it was destroyed once and rebuilt again during power struggles. In 63 BCE the Roman general Pompey in his victorious march to power in Israel included Scythopolis in his Decapolis, a band of 10 cities which supported the Greek-Roman influence in the region. When the Jewish inhabitants of the city fell into conflict against their Greek neighbours during the First Jewish War, they were massacred.
The city grew enormously in the second Century CE when the Roman sixth Legion was stationed in Scythopolis. At the same time the city became one of the textile centres of the Roman Empire. The linen from Scythopolis was famous. The plant attracted also Jewish peasants from the countryside, but Jewish leaders warned against the corrupting influence of life in a Roman city. Nevertheless Jews kept immigrating to the city. Later Christians joined them, after the Roman Empire had converted to Christianity.
During Byzantine rule the linen workers were reduced to slaves, as the state had full control of the linen industry and could do what they wanted. This resulted in a drift away of skilled linen workers who were in demand in other places. After the Arab conquest the name of the city was changed to the old 'Beisan.' The Arabs could not halt the decline of the city, before an earthquake destroyed the city in the 8th Century. Still, a small Jewish community seems to have survived because in 1322 they produced the first Hebrew book on the geography of Israel.

Twitter had a "bug," so you need to change your password right now
The company says an error left the passwords of its users vulnerable.
The Twitter logo. November 7, 2013. Photo by Bethany Clarke/Getty Images
Twitter is encouraging all of its users to change their passwords after a "bug" caused user logins to be stored in plain text on the company's internal computer system.
The error resulted in Twitter passwords being stored unconcealed, meaning Twitter employees potentially had access to them. However, the company said in its statement that there were no indications that any user information was compromised.
Twitter did not say how many users were affected, but a source told Reuters that number is "substantial" and the users have been exposed for "several months."
Still, Twitter is encouraging everyone to update their passwords from an "abundance of caution."

Class Summary

Class
Description

Command

The Command class is at the very core of the entire command framework.

CommandGroup

A CommandGroup is a list of commands which are executed in sequence.

ConditionalCommand

A ConditionalCommand is a Command that starts one of two commands.

InstantCommand

This command will execute once, then finish immediately afterward.

PIDCommand

This class defines a Command which interacts heavily with a PID loop.

PIDSubsystem

This class is designed to handle the case where there is a Subsystem which uses a single
 PIDController almost constantly (for instance, an elevator which attempts to stay at a
 constant height).

PrintCommand

A PrintCommand is a command which prints out a string when it is initialized, and then
 immediately finishes.

Scheduler

The Scheduler is a singleton which holds the top-level running commands.

StartCommand

A StartCommand will call the start() method of another command
 when it is initialized and will finish immediately.

Subsystem

This class defines a major component of the robot.

TimedCommand

A TimedCommand will wait for a timeout before finishing.

WaitCommand

HUGLAND is a playful pseudonym of my family name Haglund. It's a perfect description of what I want to convey, It's all about positive vibes.
It's been a natural call since childhood.
After research when my vision is clear and at the end when I see the result.
"Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions." – Tony Robbins.
Q8. Who is your role model/ inspiration in your life?
At the age of 15, I had my first job at a bakery in the Stockholm archipelagos (a small group o islands), where I discovered a new way to express my art by making various pastries and cake decorations. I stayed in the field for many years later and still have baking as a hobby.
In between everything "Life happened": marriage, moving from one country to another and having a child.
And as time went by, there was still this inner voice reminding me and pushing me to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a fashion designer.
I believe that color has a great impact on our minds. It affects our mood, feelings and behavior, both positively and negatively.
I strive to harness the positive effects of color and texture to stimulate the senses of the playful inner child, that is a constant explorer of cultures, keeping the imagination fresh and inspired.
My brand offers comfort based on the principle of loose fitting garments for fun and lively play.
The HUGLAND customer uses fashion as an expression of their personality and individuality.

Leaping into Military Culture
Best defense: Willett, bottom, and Parr

Standing atop a thirty-four-foot tower on the Fort Bragg Army base in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Rebecca Willett was "terrified" to make her training jump.
"That first step is hard to take," said Willett, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke.
But equipped with parachute gear, a camouflage helmet, and a harness attached to an overhead cable, she made the leap. Suspended from the cable, she zipped down to the landing area.
Her colleague Ron Parr, an assistant professor of computer science, says that his biggest challenge of the day the two spent on the base was getting the milkshake in his Meal-Ready-to-Eat to reconstitute after adding water. The two professors spent a day at Fort Bragg as part of a new Defense Department program that encourages junior computer scientists and electrical engineers to investigate technical challenges faced by the military. The program, called the Computer Science Study Panel (CS2P), has twelve scholars from various universities making summertime visits to military bases and receiving briefings on how the military uses—and hopes to use—information technology.
This year's CS2P participants toured bases from Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, visited military hubs at U.S. Joint Forces Command and U.S. Central Command, and boarded crafts, including the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, the Norfolk nuclear submarine, and a Blackhawk helicopter.
Participating in CS2P also qualifies researchers to apply for a $500,000 grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). (At $14.8 million, DARPA was the third-largest external source of research funds at Duke last year; the university does not handle grants for classified research.)
Parr says the rationale for the program is for academic researchers to gain "an understanding of what these short-term needs are [for the military] and then figure out how the higher-level, more abstract problems that we have could contribute to these short-term needs."
"Most scientists and engineers perform their research not only because it's interesting to them personally, but also because they want to expand our body of scientific knowledge. For me, my research is most exciting when I'm expanding our knowledge in a direction that has a positive impact on society."
Both Willett and Parr say they appreciated the opportunity to be exposed to military technology and culture. "We got to see some pretty cool equipment," Willett says. "But I think the people were most impressive."
Adds Parr, "I didn't realize how fond of PowerPoint they are."
