Q: Casting String to Int using scala extractors I am trying to cast a String to Int using extractors. My code looks as follows.
object Apply {
  def unapply(s: String): Option[Int] = try {
    Some(s.toInt)
  } catch {
    case _: java.lang.Exception => None
  }
}

object App {
  def toT[T](s: AnyRef): Option[T] = s match {
    case v: T => Some(v)
    case _ => None
  }
  def foo(param: String): Int = {
    //reads a Map[String,String] m at runtime
    toT[Int](m("offset")).getOrElse(0)
  }
}

I get a runtime error: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer. It seems the extractor is not being used at all. What should I do?
Edit: My use case is as follows. I am using play and I want to parse the query string passed in the url. I want to take the query string value (String) and use it as an Int, Double etc. For example,
val offset = getQueryStringAs[Int]("offset").getOrElse(0)

A: I think the biggest problem here is, that you seem to confuse casting and conversion. You have a Map[String, String] and therefore you can't cast the values to Int. You have to convert them. Luckily Scala adds the toInt method to strings through implicit conversion to StringOps.
This should work for you:
m("offset").toInt

Note that toInt will throw a java.lang.NumberFormatException if the string can not be converted to an integer.
edit:
What you want will afaik only work with typeclasses.
Here is an example:
trait StringConverter[A] {
  def convert(x: String): A
}

implicit object StringToInt extends StringConverter[Int] {
  def convert(x: String): Int = x.toInt
}

implicit object StringToDouble extends StringConverter[Double] {
  def convert(x: String): Double = x.toDouble
}

implicit def string2StringConversion(x: String) = new {
  def toT[A](implicit ev: StringConverter[A]) = ev.convert(x)
}

usage:
scala> "0.".toT[Double]
res6: Double = 0.0

A: There's a problem in your code, for which you should have received compiler warnings:
def toT[T](s: AnyRef): Option[T] = s match {
  case v: T => Some(v) // this doesn't work, because T is erased
  case _ => None
}

Now... where should Apply have been used? I see it declared, but I don't see it used anywhere.
EDIT
About the warning, look at the discussions around type erasure on Stack Overflow. For example, this answer I wrote on how to get around it -- though it's now deprecated with Scala 2.10.0.
To solve your problem I'd use type classes. For example:
abstract class Converter[T] {
  def convert(s: String): T
}

object Converter {
  def toConverter[T](converter: String => T): Converter[T] = new Converter[T] {
    override def convert(s: String): T = converter(s)
  }

  implicit val intConverter = toConverter(_.toInt)
  implicit val doubleConverter = toConverter(_.toDouble)
}

Then you can rewrite your method like this:
val map = Map("offset" -> "10", "price" -> "9.99")

def getQueryStringAs[T : Converter](key: String): Option[T] = {
  val converter = implicitly[Converter[T]]
  try {
    Some(converter convert map(key))
  } catch {
    case ex: Exception => None
  }
}

In use:
scala> getQueryStringAs[Int]("offset")
res1: Option[Int] = Some(10)

scala> getQueryStringAs[Double]("price")
res2: Option[Double] = Some(9.99)

When a corporation intends to deliver a certain message, it may send out its ambassadors to television and radio stations to carry out the live interactions and the live broadcasts. This is a form of public relations technique that uses experts with deep knowledge of the information intended to be passed. Such experts include artists, executives and even authors who reach out to millions using satellite uplinks in the stations for a few hours – mostly morning hours – or do so in the course of a few days depending on the message intended to be passed. Such expeditions are what we refer to satellite/ radio media tours (SMT, RMT).
Satellite media tours are a simple and cost-effective way of delivering marketing messages to a rather wide audience over a large geographical region. It goes a long way to boost your PR and marketing strategies and is a sure vehicle to secure guaranteed coverage enabling you to reach newer and wider outlets over a very short period of time. Note that it's not only done on TV and radio but can also be carried out successfully online. With these options, one can choose to carry it out from the studio or remotely – whichever way that best suits your business and message.
SMTs and RMTs could come in real handy when introducing a new product to the market. It enables a large audience know of your existence as well as define exactly what you have to offer. It also offers the audience a chance to get the answers they might have been looking for during the interview. This is possible since the news anchors are given time to prepare as well as compile a list of possible questions that would benefit your audience. The technique could also prove beneficial when entering new markets or making changes and developments such as merging.
As already seen, a satellite media tour is simply an interview of a company's spokesman distributed through satellite. Bookings are made well in advance giving the PR practitioner enough time to have him/her adequately acquainted to the message and information. The station may then choose to air it live or tape it for later use.
Before going for the SMT, it is essential to clearly define your goals and objectives. A well-built communication plan creates a positive picture on your firm. Make prior consultations with your team of experts and choose a member who can deliver effectively. It's not everyone who's meant for the screens after all. If possible, however, make sure the person chosen hasn't featured in previous media tours within the past 2-3 months in any station. This is because media stations might probably delay the broadcast to a future date.
The media station you decide to go for makes a big impact and difference and determines how well ROI will be realized. Make sure the time set before the tour is enough for all preparations. This calls for meaningful research to develop compelling stories that will captivate your audience. Ensure the producers don't rip you off in the process – this is why proper research on your station is needed too. In short, ensure you get good value for the proper amount.
There you have it – satellite and radio media tours defined in their simplest form. Should you reach a point in your organization to seek out such services, aim for perfection. Mistakes on-air won't paint such a positive picture for your firm – but you already know this. I wish you luck in your marketing campaigns.

Full 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review Report [PDF 2MB]
Quadrennial Defense
The Department of Defense conducted the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) in the fourth year of a long war, a war that is irregular in its nature. The enemies in this war are not traditional conventional military forces but rather dispersed, global terrorist networks that exploit Islam to advance radical political aims. These enemies have the avowed aim of acquiring and using nuclear and biological weapons to murder hundreds of thousands of Americans and others around the world. They use terror, propaganda and indiscriminate violence in an attempt to subjugate the Muslim world under a radical theocratic tyranny while seeking to perpetuate conflict with the United States and its allies and partners. This war requires the U.S. military to adopt unconventional and indirect approaches. Currently, Iraq and Afghanistan are crucial battlegrounds, but the struggle extends far beyond their borders. With its allies and partners, the United States must be prepared to wage this war in many locations simultaneously and for some years to come. As the Department of Defense works to defeat these enemies, it must also remain vigilant in an era of surprise and uncertainty and prepare to prevent, deter or defeat a wider range of asymmetric threats.
This QDR defines two fundamental imperatives for the Department of Defense:
Continuing to reorient the Department's capabilities and forces to be more agile in this time of war, to prepare for wider asymmetric challenges and to hedge against uncertainty over the next 20 years.
Implementing enterprise-wide changes to ensure that organizational structures, processes and procedures eff ectively support its strategic direction.
Assessing how the Department is organized and operates has been a centerpiece of this QDR. Just as U.S. forces are becoming more agile and capable of rapid action and are exploiting information advantages to increase operational eff ectiveness, headquarters organizations and processes that support them need to develop similar attributes. Changes should focus on meeting the needs of the President of the United States and joint warfighting forces, represented by the Combatant Commanders. This QDR sought to provide a broader range of military options for the President and new capabilities needed by Combatant Commanders to confront asymmetric threats. The principles of transparency, constructive competition to encourage innovation, agility and adaptability, collaboration and partnership should guide the formulation of new strategic processes and organizational structures.
The Department must also adopt a model of continuous change and reassessment if it is to defeat highly adaptive adversaries. In this sense, the QDR is not an end state in itself, but rather an interim Report designed to capture the best contemporary thinking, planning and decisions during this period of profound change. The Department will continue this process of continuous reassessment and improvement with periodic updates in the coming years and by directing the development of follow-on "roadmaps" for areas of particular emphasis in the QDR, including:
Department institutional reform and governance.
Irregular warfare.
Building partnership capacity.
Strategic communication.
Intelligence.
These roadmaps should guide the implementation of key QDR proposals and continue the refinement of the Department's approaches in these important areas.
The complexity of the challenges facing the Department and the changes needed to address them necessitate a considerably closer partnership between the Executive and Legislative branches of government and continuous dialogue. Without the support of the Congress, it will not be possible for the Department to undertake many of the changes outlined in this Report. The ideas and recommendations presented represent a starting point for such a dialogue. The Department welcomes other viewpoints and innovative proposals from the Congress, allies, and others that build upon these ideas or provide preferable alternatives.
This QDR builds upon the transformational defense agenda directed by the President and articulated in the 2001 QDR, changes in the U.S. global defense posture and Base Realignment and Closure study, and, most importantly, on the operational experiences of the past four years. In addition to its operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. military has conducted a host of other missions, from providing humanitarian relief in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami and the South Asian earthquake to supporting civil authorities at home and responding to natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. Lessons from these missions, which informed the QDR's deliberations and conclusions, include the critical importance of:
Having the authorities and resources to build partnership capacity, achieve unity of eff ort, and adopt indirect approaches to act with and through others to defeat common enemies - shifting from conducting activities ourselves to enabling partners to do more for themselves.
Shifting from responsive actions toward early, preventive measures and increasing the speed of action to stop problems from becoming confl icts or crises.
Increasing the freedom of action of the United States and its allies and partners in meeting the security challenges of the 21st century.
Minimizing costs to the United States while imposing costs on adversaries, in particular by sustaining America's scientifi c and technological advantage over potential competitors.
Applying these lessons will increase the adaptability of the force when confronting surprise or uncertainty. Maintaining a joint process to identify lessons learned is important to support a process of continuous change and improvement.
The foundation of this QDR is the National Defense Strategy, published in March 2005. This strategy calls for continuing to reorient the Department's capabilities to address a wider range of challenges. Although U.S. military forces maintain their predominance in traditional warfare, they must also be improved to address the non-traditional, asymmetric challenges of this new century. These challenges include irregular warfare (conflicts in which enemy combatants are not regular military forces of nation-states); catastrophic terrorism employing weapons of mass destruction (WMD); and disruptive threats to the United States' ability to maintain its qualitative edge and to project power.
To operationalize the strategy, the Department's senior civilian and military leaders identified four priorities as the focus of the QDR:
Defeating terrorist networks.
Defending the homeland in depth.
Shaping the choices of countries at strategic crossroads.
Preventing hostile states and non-state actors from acquiring or using WMD.
Although these priorities clearly do not represent the full range of operations the U.S. military must be prepared to conduct, they do indicate areas of particular concern. By focusing on them, the Department will continue to increase its capabilities and forces to deal with irregular, catastrophic and disruptive challenges. Improving capabilities and forces to meet these challenges will also increase the forces overall adaptability and versatility in responding to other threats and contingencies.
Based on their evaluation of the four QDR focus areas, the Department's senior leaders decided to refi ne the capstone force planning construct that translates the Department's strategy into guidance to shape and size military forces. This wartime construct, described in detail later in this Report, makes adjustments to better capture the realities of a long war by:
Better defining the Department's responsibilities for homeland defense within a broader national framework.
Giving greater emphasis to the war on terror and irregular warfare activities, including long-duration unconventional warfare, counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, and military support for stabilization and reconstruction eff orts.
Accounting for, and drawing a distinction between, steady-state force demands and surge activities over multi-year periods.
At the same time, this wartime construct requires the capability to conduct multiple, overlapping wars. In addition, it calls for the forces and capabilities needed for deterrence, refl ecting a shift from "one size fits all" deterrence toward more tailorable capabilities to deter advanced military powers, regional WMD states, or non-state terrorists.
The 2006 QDR provides new direction for accelerating the transformation of the Department to focus more on the needs of Combatant Commanders and to develop portfolios of joint capabilities rather than individual stove-piped programs. In 2001, the Department initiated a shift from threat-based planning toward capabilities-based planning, changing the way war-fighting needs are defined and prioritized. The essence of capabilities-based planning is to identify capabilities that adversaries could employ and capabilities that could be available to the United States, then evaluate their interaction, rather than over-optimize the joint force for a limited set of threat scenarios. This QDR continues this shift by emphasizing the needs of the Combatant Commanders as the basis for programs and budgetary priorities. The goal is to manage the Department increasingly through the use of joint capability portfolios. Doing so should improve the Department's ability to meet the needs of the President and the Combatant Commanders. Moving toward a more "demand-driven" approach should reduce unnecessary program redundancy, improve joint interoperability, and streamline acquisition and budgeting processes. The Department is continuing to shift from stovepiped vertical structures to more transparent and horizontally-integrated structures. Just as the U.S. forces operate jointly, so too must horizontal integration become an organizing principle for the Department's investment and enterprise-wide functions. These reforms will not occur overnight, and care must be taken not to weaken what works eff ectively during the transition to a more cross-cutting approach. However, the complex strategic environment of the 21st century demands greater integration of forces, organizations and processes, and closer synchronization of actions.
This environment also places new demands on the Department's Total Force concept. Although the all-volunteer force has been a key to successful U.S. military operations over the past several decades, continued success in future missions is not preordained. The Total Force of active and reserve military, civilian, and contractor personnel must continue to develop the best mix of people equipped with the right skills needed by the Combatant Commanders. To this end, the QDR updates the Department's workforce management policies to guide investments in the force and improve the workforce's ability
to adapt to new challenges. For example, to meet the demands of irregular warfare and operate eff ectively alongside other U.S. agencies, allies or partners, the Department will increase investments focused on developing and maintaining appropriate language, cultural, and information technology skills. The Department is also adopting new personnel systems to reward performance rather than longevity. New joint training initiatives should help ensure that the Total Force is capable of adapting to emerging challenges as the Military Departments continue to rebalance forces between their Active and Reserve Components. Acquiring the right knowledge and skills relevant to the challenges of the 21st century will receive new emphasis in recruitment, retention, training, assignments, career development and advancement. Aligning authorities, policies and practices will produce the best qualifi ed Total Force to satisfy the new demands.
This QDR benefi ted from the change in the legislation mandating the review. By shifting the completion date of the review to coincide with the submission of the President's Fiscal Year 2007 budget request, the Congress permitted the Department to "front load" a limited number of initiatives into the budget submission for Fiscal Year 2007, rather than having to wait until the next full budget cycle. This QDR therefore recommends a number of adjustments to align Defense plans, policies and programs with the broader strategic direction as "leading edge" measures in the President's budget request for Fiscal Year 2007. These proposals represent only the vanguard of changes that the Department will initiate in coming years. The Department will develop additional proposals, based on the strategic direction set in this Report, including recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2008 budget submission.
Among the key programmatic decisions the QDR proposes to launch in Fiscal Year 2007 are the following:
To strengthen forces to defeat terrorist networks, the Department will increase Special Operations Forces by 15% and increase the number of Special Forces Battalions by one-third. U.S. Special Operations Command (U.S. SOCOM) will establish the Marine Corps Special Operations Command. The Air Force will establish an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron under U.S. SOCOM. The Navy will support a U.S. SOCOM increase in SEAL Team manning and will develop a riverine warfare capability. The Department will also expand Psychological Operations and Civil Aff airs units by 3,700 personnel, a 33% increase. Multipurpose Army and Marine Corps ground forces will increase their capabilities and capacity to conduct irregular warfare missions.
To strengthen homeland defense and homeland security, the Department will fund a $1.5 billion initiative over the next fi ve years to develop broad-spectrum medical countermeasures against the threat of genetically engineered bio-terror agents. Additional initiatives will include developing advanced detection and deterrent technologies and facilitating full-scale civil-military exercises to improve interagency planning for complex homeland security contingencies.
To help shape the choices of countries at strategic crossroads, strengthen deterrence, and hedge against future strategic uncertainty, the Department will develop a wider range of conventional and non-kinetic deterrent options while maintaining a robust nuclear deterrent. It will convert a small number of Trident submarine-launched ballistic missiles for use in conventional prompt global strike. The Department will also increase procurement of unmanned aerial vehicles to increase persistent surveillance, nearly doubling today's capacity. It also will begin development of the next generation long-range strike systems, accelerating projected initial operational capability by almost two decades.
To improve the nation's ability to deal with the dangers posed by states that possess weapons of mass destruction and the possibility of terrorists gaining control of them, the Department will greatly expand its capabilities and forces for addressing such contingencies. It has assigned U.S. Strategic Command as the lead Combatant Command for integrating and synchronizing combating WMD, which provides a focal point for the Department's efforts. The Department will also establish a deployable Joint Task Force headquarters for WMD elimination to be able to provide immediate command and control of forces for executing those missions.
Achieving the vision set out in this Report will only be possible by maintaining and adapting the United States' enduring alliances. Alliances are clearly one of the nation's greatest sources of strength. Over the past four years, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and U.S. bilateral alliances with Australia, Japan, Korea and other nations have adapted to retain their vitality and relevance in the face of new threats to international security. These alliances make manifest the strategic solidarity of free democratic states, promote shared values and facilitate the sharing of military and security burdens around the world. The United States places great value on its unique relationships with the United Kingdom and Australia, whose forces stand with the U.S. military in Iraq, Afghanistan and many other operations. These close military relations are models for the breadth and depth of cooperation that the United States seeks to foster with other allies and partners around the world. Implementation of the QDR's agenda will serve to reinforce these enduring links.
The 2006 QDR was designed to serve as a catalyst to spur the Department's continuing adaptation and reorientation to produce a truly integrated joint force that is more agile, more rapidly deployable, and more capable against the wider range of threats. Through a process of continuous improvement, constant reassessment and application of lessons learned, changes based on this review will continue over time. Collectively, and with the cooperation of the Congress, these changes will ensure that the Department adapts to meet the increasingly dangerous security challenges of the 21st century.

Cocoa ETFs In Focus As Easter Approaches
April 13, 2017 by Contributor
Having recently come off of a successful Easter Egg hunt for my two children at the park across the street from our home ahead of Easter weekend, eating some of the spoils, notably Reese's Peanut Butter eggs, has me thinking about, what else, but chocolate and more chocolate.
We have profiled the closest things to "Chocolate ETPs" in the past in this piece, and it makes sense to revisit these "Cocoa" focused products once again ahead of the Easter holiday. NIB (iPath Bloomberg Cocoa Subindex Total Return ETN, Expense Ratio 0.70% $52.7 million in AUM) launched back in June of 2008 and is the largest of the two alternatives in this segment.
Futures based, the investment methodology is pretty simple and as detailed in fund literature, which states:
"The Index reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on cocoa. The Index currently consists of one futures contract on the commodity of cocoa which is included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return."
The other ETP in this segment, also an ETN from issuer iPath, is significantly smaller with only $4.5 million in assets under management presently, and this listing is CHOC (iPath Pure Beta Cocoa ETN, Expense Ratio 0.75%). Unlike NIB, which simply employs a single front month contract methodology, CHOC's process involves, as according to fund literature:
"The Index may roll into one of a number of futures contracts with varying expiration dates, as selected using the Barclays Pure Beta Series 2 Methodology."
Reading in between the lines, the involvement of more than one futures contract here is a more advanced way of investing in a commodity futures oriented product of course, and likely hinges on the desire to mitigate if not eliminate contango where it may be present in the futures markets.
CHOC debuted several years after NIB, in April of 2011, and trades a scant 3,600 shares on an average daily basis, while NIB trades a healthy 162,000 shares daily as measured on a one-month trailing basis.
In terms of performance, both ETN's have been beaten up not only throughout 2016 but in early 2017 as well, with Cocoa prices hovering near four-year lows once again today on several factors that include reduced demand as well as an increase in marketplace supply due to increased production from those in the industry.
Prices could be affected sharply and suddenly however, and potentially reverse if there are any bouts of unfavorable growing weather or a shift in the supply/demand relationship that we mentioned above.

Well it looks like the Mets won't be the only players (god willing) rocking Citifield this October. The Meadows will be a new festival thrown in Queens, right off the 7 train in Flushing Meadow Park and the Citifield parking lot.
It is a pop/hip hop focused lineup with Kanye West, The Weekend and Chance The Rapper headlining. Honestly it is very underwhelming to us but a few RtBE Favs are mixed in as well with Charles Bradley and Frightened Rabbit both joining the lineup.

Anthony Joshua Looks Set To Take America By Storm
February, 13 2019
Your Company Name (Required)
Anthony Joshua has left the bird's nest and is heading to the United States to defend his heavyweight titles against Jarrell Miller in New York at Madison Square Garden.
Much had been made of the unified heavyweight champion's reluctance to travel – and why would you if you're selling out 90,000-seater stadiums every time you fight. However, with the pressure on after Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury's dramatic draw and imminent rematch, Joshua has tried to do something different.
The public pressure mounting on his shoulders over the past few months cannot be ignored and when you're arguably the biggest star in the sport, it's something that goes along with the territory. Unlike other figures who've commanded that attention, though, it seems to deeply affect Joshua.
Saul Canelo Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather have received similar criticisms in recent years but have reacted differently for various reasons. The former hasn't got a clear grasp of the English language and can be completely oblivious to the noises while the latter simply couldn't care less about anything but the purse he receives and preserving his undefeated record.
Joshua's popularity is something rather unprecedented, especially for an English athlete. He's sold over five million pay-per-view buys in his last fights and close to 400,000 tickets in that time, while his fights are often broadcasted in over 100 countries around the world.
The caveat for such popularity is that you can't please everyone and it seems that, for the first time, Joshua is doing what he wants to do as he embraces a new challenge.
The alternative to a Miller fight would've been a rematch with Dillian Whyte and while the Englishman has certainly done enough to earn a world title shot, Joshua beat him comfortably the last time they fought, stopping him in the seventh round.
This trip to New York sees us witness a few unknowns. How does Joshua adapt to an away crowd? Will Joshua become marketable to the casual US market? How well will the UK pay-per-view numbers be given the time difference?
It could be a pivotal moment in Joshua's career and June 1st could sett the explosion of the champion's worldwide brand – if so, there is no ceiling as to what the 29-year-old can become.
British Boxing Holds Its Breath As Anthony Joshua Aims To Reclaim Titles And Continue The Boom
June 1st, 2019 – a date that was etched into the illustrious history of the sport of boxing. British Superstar Anthony Joshua lost his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles on his US debut at the world-famous Madison Square Garden against underdog Andy Ruiz Jr. The Mexican-American heavyweight was drafted in as a replacement with […]

Okay, there were a few moments I'd rather not re-live, (the crunch, crunch as the tooth separated from the bone, and I couldn't look at myself until the temps were put in, the open space in my mouth was so huge) but I'm fine. I'm swollen, but if you didn't know what I looked like normally you wouldn't even notice. Even better, they clearly worked very hard to make the temps look good and they do, absolutely fine. I will get even better temps in a few months, but I'm just so glad I won't look monstrous in the meantime.
But I am so so tired. I'm going to curl up on the couch and not leave for the rest of the day. I took this in Chelsea Market, where I went to buy a vat of soup. It was another "walking through Christmas lights and feeling like a Christmas princess" moment.
Excellent news! I did cringe a bit at your description, though!
Good news. And you can sing! Yay!
Yes, that's the biggest comfort: no more night dreads of progressive heart failure. It's so much better to just get the teeth pulled and start obsessing over something much more cheerful.
I like my ice to be vodka-tonic flavored. Hope you enjoy a few Stoli slurpees while you recuperate.
Good to hear it wasn't that bad of an experience afterall. I hope your vat of soup is good and sustains you for the short-term. Great picture. Catch up on some good TV viewing and take care!
Thank you all! I'm basically back to normal, and in all honesty, I was basically back to normal immediately following the procedure, I was just tired.
I'm giving myself the weekend off not because I need it per se, but just because I was so freaked out for so long I need a nice, easy-going weekend.

Q: what does this statement mean unlike SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(), the event thread is permitted to call SwingUtilities.invokeLater(). I cannot understand this clearly.
Please help me in this.

A: Another thread (not the main Swing event thread) can call invokeAndWait to wait for the Swing event thread to be ready to run some action. However, the Swing event thread cannot wait for itself. So it calls invokeLater to put the action in a queue for later execution.

A: Not being a Java developer, I think that if invokAndWait is executed on an event thread, it will effectively block itself.

A: Source
The invokeAndWait() method looks similar, but it has three important semantic differences. First, the invokeLater() method runs asynchronously at some time in the future. You don't know when it will actually run. On the other hand, the invokeAndWait() method is synchronous: it does not return until its target has completed execution. As a rule of thumb, then, you should use the invokeAndWait() method to read the value of Swing components or to ensure that something is displayed on the screen before you continue program execution. Otherwise, you can use the invokeLater() method.
The second difference is that the invokeAndWait() method cannot itself be called from the event-dispatching thread. The thread running the invokeAndWait() method must wait for the event-dispatching thread to execute some code. No thread, including the event-dispatching thread, can wait for itself to do something else. Consequently, if you execute the invokeAndWait() method from the event-dispatching thread, it throws a java.lang.Error. That causes the event-dispatching thread to exit (unless you've taken the unusual step of catching Error objects in your code); in turn, your entire program becomes disabled.
The third difference is that the invokeAndWait() method can throw an InterruptedException if the thread is interrupted before the event-dispatching thread runs the target, or an InvocationTargetException if the Runnable object throws a runtime exception or error.

We've all heard of Raspberry Pi, which is a pretty small computer board that can be used to create virtually anything. The only limit is what your mind can come up with. Now we have another one, that's much cheaper and that's the VoCore. It's a Mini Linux Computer, and you can make it into a router, build a motherboard and even create an entirely new device. Not to mention repurposing old appliances into smart wireless appliances. Like your old speakers into a smart speaker. With VoCore you are able to use it as a standalone device which would run on OpenWrt, or you can use it as an embedded component of a larger system. With some electronics knowledge, you can pretty much build anything.
VoCore does also work on open-source hardware, it also provides up to 20 GPIO lines and includes an on-board WiFi adapter. This way you won't need to use an external one. VoCore can easily connect with other peripheral devices as well. It can extend ethernet and USB interfaces using the dock. It integrates a 802.11n MAC, baseband, radio, FEM & 5-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch. Now the VoCore Mini Linux Computer is on sale right now over on the Android Headlines Store for just $30.

There will be no Sunday ringing today and no practice session tomorrow because of the flood blocking the entrance.
Yes of course the ringing chamber's quite a bit higher than the floodwater but ringing in waders is so unseemly.
Don't worry, our skills won't wither for want of practise, we'll temporarily decamp to St Mary's, Bentworth where they also practise on Monday evenings.

Elevate your grill game while protecting your hands and forearms with grilling gloves; we like Eko-grips, available at amazon.com.
1. Turkey: Stir together 1/4 cup salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Season inside turkey cavities with half of mixture, then stuff with lemons, 2 1/2 oranges, all but 6 thyme sprigs, and 1 1/2 heads garlic. Tie legs with twine. Rub butter evenly over skin of turkey, then season with remaining half of salt mixture. Let stand at room temperature while preparing grill.
2. Open grill vents. Place a chimney starter on small lower grill grate, fill starter with char- coal (75 to 80 pieces), and ignite; let burn until ash gray. Pour charcoal evenly around perimeter of lower grate. Place a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum roasting pan on center of grate inside charcoal. Place remaining orange half, 6 thyme sprigs, garlic half, and wine in pan. Place upper grate in grill. Cover grill with vents partially open and preheat to 350 degrees, about 10 minutes.
3. Place turkey on center of grate, directly over pan. Cover and cook, adding 16 to 20 pieces of charcoal around pan every 45 minutes to maintain temperature, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (not touching bone) registers 165 degrees, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, depending on size of bird.
4. Gravy: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine turkey giblets and neck, carrot, celery, onion, broth, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30 minutes. Strain, reserving giblets and neck. (You should have 3 cups turkey stock; if not, add more chicken broth.) When cool enough to handle, shred meat from neck and coarsely chop giblets; reserve, discarding bones.
5. Transfer grilled turkey to a platter; let stand at least 20 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, carefully lift disposable pan from grill. Strain drippings through a sieve into a fat separator or measuring cup; let stand until fat rises to surface. Discard fat.
6. Combine pan drippings and 2 1/2 cups turkey stock in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Whisk together remaining 1/2 cup turkey stock and flour in a small bowl. Slowly whisk flour mixture into saucepan. Simmer, whisking frequently, until gravy has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in reserved neck meat and giblets; simmer 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
7. Serve turkey, garnished with citruses, pecans, and lemon leaves, and with gravy alongside.
For the best flavor when grilling, buy natural hardwood lump charcoal, which is made directly from hickory, mesquite, and oak and produces less ash than other types. Common square briquettes are compressed blocks made from sawdust and other wood by-products along with binders, accelerants, and artificial additives.

Jon Hay locators generate 6,078 jobs
January 8, 2020 January 8, 2020 Dexter A. See
BAGUIO CITY – The John Hay Management Corporation (JHMC) reported its existing locators within the John Hay Special Economic Zone (JHSEZ) generated some 6,078 jobs for local residents as of November 30, 2019.
JHMC president and chief executive officer Allan Garcia claimed the number of generated jobs was 96 percent compared to its projected employment generation of 6,300 jobs for qualified residents of the Baguio-La Trinidad-Itogon-Sablan-Tuba-Tublay (BLISTT) area.
Last year, JHMC locators generate some 6,106 jobs for qualified local residents.
On consumer satisfaction, Garcia reported researchers are still conducting the required data gathering for the said purpose with experts from the Saint Louis College in San Fernando City, La Union administering the consumer satisfaction survey.
The JHMC official disclosed locators provided some P829.72 million in income, roughly 72 percent of the projected P1.152 billion income from the economic zone for this year.
According to him, there were over 64,000 tourist arrivals in the historical core for the first nine months of the year compared to the over 104,000 tourist arrivals in the economic zone last year, thus, the need for the corporation to sustain its aggressiveness in promoting John Hay, the former American rest and recreation area, as a must-see tourist destination in the city.
Garcia underscored JHMC embraced the forest bathing as one of its newest attractions to provide nature lovers with a walk through the scenic forest cover of John Hay as the area still covers 53 percent of the city's remaining forest cover, thus, efforts are being done to sustain the preservation and protection of the city's environment.
He added there are new locators that signed the necessary agreement with JHMC for their operations in the city while there are still other companies that signified to enter into a lease contract for their future operation within their preferred areas within the economic zone, provided that, they adhere to the stringent environmental regulations imposed by the JHMC.
JHMC is a subsidiary of the State-owned Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) tasked to administer, manage and operate all former American military bases in the country after the same were turned over to the Philippine government when the Senate rejected the supposed renewal of the bases agreement.
In 1997, BCDA leased to Fil-Estate Penta Capita Consortium some 247 hectares from the over 686-hectare Camp John hay watershed and forest reservation for its conversion into a world-class tourism multi-use rest and recreation center to help boost the identity of Baguio City as the country's undisputed Summer Capital with the put up of the appropriate rest and recreation facilities.
However, the lease agreement was subjected to mutual restitution following the failure of both parties to deliver on their commitments that significantly affected the supposed pace of development within the declared economic zone.

We will work with you, to create your home theater design.
Don't try to figure this out by yourself, have someone virtually by your side answering questions and providing you with experience and insight otherwise unavailable to you.
save you thousands of dollars and could save you hours and hours of your time.
This was by far the best money I spent on my entire theater project. I was about to make a few critical mistakes, which I would have regretted for the entire lifetime of my theater! I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to build their own home theater. -Scott F.
As a DIY guy, I want to do everything by myself. But the actual design and layout was one thing I wanted to know I was going to have right. There was no chance I would be building another room, and tearing something down to make a 'fix' wasn't something I wanted to ever worry about. Working with Warren on this project was fun, his experience and passion was obvious from our first conversation together. If anyone is on the fence, considering this, you won't regret it. I'd go farther and say that now you know about this, if you don't do this, you'll regret that. -Ken B.
I talked to the 'big name designer' on the AVSForum, and it was not a great experience. Yes, he makes good plans, but not everyone is building a $100K+ showcase theater. I just wanted someone to work with, someone who would not look down on me, as a DIY builder. Warren was that person for me. From our first call, I could tell he loves this stuff as much as me (probably more!) and I was very pleased in how everything turned out. He is the only person I know who loves working with the DIY people, and I am very glad I took him up on this opportunity, it was by far the best money I spent on my entire project. -Mark P.
You get to be the leader of your DIY theater, and you get to have a professional design, at the same time – truly the best of both worlds!
The process starts with your order. Once we have received your order, we will send you an initial project questionnaire, and that gets your project underway. We'll then open up the back and forth exchange.
This is not you simply submitting an equipment list and room with us sending back a layout.
This is where we take all your input and talk with you to create your dream home theater plan.
This is where your home theater dream gets launched into reality.
If you want a professional home theater design, complete with construction blueprints, that is not what we offer. You can find many people who will create that for you, just be prepared to spend many thousands of dollars on that, and be prepared to not have too much discussion about the end result. Often in those situations you are given your plan, you don't participate too much in the overall design.
As a DIY home theater enthusiast, that is not you. You won't be happy spending thousands and not really being involved in the process.
You want to be part of the process, every step of the way, you want your input and ideas as the foundation of your theater. And, you want to have a professional design that makes sure you are creating the best possible home theater you can create.
This service is available to you for under six hundred dollars. Click below to get started, right now.
NOTE – WARREN'S SCHEDULE IS NOW FULL, NO NEW PROJECTS ARE BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME.
IF YOU WISH TO GET ON THE WAITING LIST, PLEASE SEND US A MESSAGE HERE.
PS – Make sure your email address is correct when you order, that is how we will initially be in contact with you.

Dumican Mosey's SOMA Residence
Starring: Dumican Mosey Architects,
Photographer: Kirsten Hepburn, Cesar Rubio,
City: San Francisco, California, USA,
Section: Residences,
Internationally exhibited artist Klari Reis appointed Californian architectural studio Dumican Mosey to design her own home, with an annexed studio and art gallery. As the name suggests, the restoration and refurbishment project is located in San Francisco's rapidly growing SOMA district. When the architects first went to inspect the two-storey building, a former auto repair garage, it was "dark, rundown and pungent with grease"; now the SOMA Residence is a jewel set in among the façades of the neighbourhood, right next to the famous Financial District.
SOMA Residence is one of the most recent projects completed by Californian studio Dumican Mosey. As the name suggests, the building is located in San Francisco's lively SOMA district, close to Market Street and the Financial District. The project was commissioned by Klari Reis, an internationally exhibited artist best known for her installations with Petri dishes of the type normally used by biologists for cell cultures and observation of bacterial colonies.
Reis wanted to refurbish a large building on two levels with a small rear courtyard which had been an industrial building in the early twentieth century, converted into an auto repair garage in the 1920s. And as Klari Reis is a multidisciplinary artist, a very important part of her briefing and goals for the project involved the need for extensive interplay among art, sculpture and contemporary architecture; she specifically wanted the qualities of light, space, texture, materiality and flow to holistically connect these components.
"The existing historic, industrial-use building provided a unique canvas and challenging opportunity for this carefully considered, owner-occupied, adaptive reuse project," report the architects in their description of the project.
When they first went to see the building, the architects of Dumican Mosey found that it was "dark, rundown and pungent with grease". But they also noted the great potential inherent in a unique place where the architectural features of times gone by were still preserved intact, especially on the side of the building facing onto the street. They chose to preserve and restore all the historic elements in the façade while decorating the interior with modernist elements and furnishings, resulting in an unusual contrast between inside and outside visible to passers-by on the sidewalk who glance into the building.
There was a considerable amount of space available for the project: about 400 square metres on each of the two levels. The ground floor contains Klari Reis's studio and art gallery, an independent guest unit and a two-car garage, while the upper level contains the private apartment of the artist and her family.
The predominant colours are those of the materials used in the interiors. The floors on the ground floor are big concrete blocks, while the walls are plastered white; tilt-up glass doors provide access to a small patio and ensure ventilation during events and exhibitions.
On the upper level, the key element in the floors and ceilings is timber, contrasting with the grey concrete walls in which the shape of the formworks is visible, all enriched by white furnishings and a number of plastered surfaces. In the centre of the apartment's floor plan is a skylight forming a square courtyard, visible from the rooftop terrace, which is built like a turret covering about a quarter of the total roof surface: big enough for a barbecue with friends, sunbathing or playing with the children.
An interesting detail of the refurbishment project is a flame-red 1965 Fiat 500 hanging upside-down from the first-floor ceiling, above the stairs to the first-floor apartment. Such unusual touches are only to be expected in an artist's home!
San Francisco, like other cities in California and elsewhere in the United States, has a plethora of old industrial buildings currently undergoing restoration, creating a new current in architecture, in which Dumican Mosey is definitely a name that stands out.

Can Mandela's model for restorative justice work in healthcare?
...Rather than being motivated by the desire for vengeance, Mandela was a driving force behind the establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1995, a distinctive approach to addressing the aftermath of harm that emphasised healing over punishment.
Restorative justice now has a significant role in the criminal justice system in England and Wales. According to the Ministry of Justice's evaluation of its early pilot projects, restorative justice was associated with an estimated 14 per cent reduction in the frequency of reoffending and 85 per cent of victims who participated in face to face meetings were satisfied with the experience.
The principles of restorative justice have also been applied to education, where it is more commonly referred to as restorative practice. Here it is being used with some success to resolve conflict and tackle bullying, helping children understand the way their behaviour affects others and how to deal with conflicts which arise in the playground.
Restorative practices have also been used in workplace environments to settle grievances and disputes between staff members.
Given that restorative practice has achieved success in resolving conflict and repairing harm in other contexts, it is worth considering whether it could work within the NHS.
As events at Mid Staffordshire and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay foundation trusts have clearly demonstrated, failings in the health service can cause tremendous harm and a legacy of mistrust. Adverse incidents and surgical complications can also cause real distress to the doctors involved in turn affecting their performance.
A recent study, published in The British Journal of Surgery, investigating the personal and professional impact of major clinical incidents on surgeons at two large NHS teaching hospitals in London found that most participants described the support they received from their employers as inadequate.
They said that debriefing or effective mentoring following serious incidents was rare, and organisations often reacted punitively while blame passing and personal rivalries dominated morbidity and mortality meetings.
...By contrast, a restorative approach provides an opportunity for those most affected by these events to talk about their experience in a process which is focused on rebuilding trust rather than punishment.
The person harmed can find out what happened and (ideally) receive some reparation while those involved in the incident can show they recognise the gravity of what happened and make amends.
Clearly, the advantages would need to be carefully considered on a case by case basis.

Newburgh Native Screens Locally Made Indie Film "Myth" At Towne Crier
June 06, 2019 / Katie Hellmuth Martin

Did you see these indie filmmakers at any point during the making of "Myth," screening Thursday, June 6, at 7 pm in the big music room in the back at Towne Crier?
This crew was all over the Hudson Valley, including a driving shot on the road from Cold Spring to Peekskill, and another on a road off of Rock Cut Road in the Town of Newburgh, and another scene filmed at the Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston.
"Myth," written and directed by Brian DiLorenzo, was a locally made production which gave aspiring young filmmakers the chance to come together to make a movie.
The Film Crew
Said Brian when A Little Beacon Blog inquired about where he found his crew: "Every single person was a great friend, mostly from the film program we all graduated from at C.W. Post College. We did however have a ton of family and hometown friends involved as well.
"My college roommate Dan Brady was our Director of Photography (DP), my friend Gia McKenna produced, and my buddy Dan Rodenhizer helped out as Assistant Director (AD).
It was a great ask - because I essentially had to ask people to ditch their paying jobs and come live with me in the woods for 10 days to make this thing happen. One of the guys, Richie Theodule, who ran our sound, didn't even know anyone before he joined our team! Now we're great friends."
What's The Movie About?
"Myth" details the exploits of a shady movie director (Nicholas Tucci, who can also be seen in Hulu's original series "Ramy," as well as the just-released psychological thriller "Long Lost") and his devoted protégé (Justin Andrew Davis), as they embark on a chaotic new project, filled with intrigue and deceit at every turn. Actress Sadie Scott (can be seen on "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Crshd") looks to be a breakout star as she just won Best Actress at the 2019 May Day Film Festival as the film makes its way through the festival circuit.
Glimpse Into The Low (Low, Super Low) Budget Film World
Being that this was a young filmmaking team, A Little Beacon Blog inquired with Brian the Director about the budget, as our readers like to know how things work:
"We were extremely low budget! In the indie film world, there are all these different tiers that span from a project like ours, all the way to something like 'Garden State' or 'Little Miss Sunshine.' In terms of 'low-budget,' SAGIndie defines it as between $650K to $2 million, 'low-budget modified' between $200K and $650K, ULTRA-low budget for films between $50K and $200K. We get our own special category, which is sometimes known as either "micro-budget" or "no-budget filmmaking." In terms of my own budget, between about seven credit cards, we were around $35K!"
Want To Be A Location For A Film?
Large- and small-budget movies from all over are filming in the Hudson Valley. A reader of A Little Beacon Blog wrote in to ask about Beacon's permits, and about renting a house out in general - as a homeowner - to a film crew. We interviewed a Location Manager to discover some of the ins and outs you'll want to know about as you negotiate your rate with the production company. Click here to get that article.

Reader Question: "Do You Know About Renting Your House Out As A Location? And The Permits Involved In That?"

One evening, a reader wrote in with a question, having read one of our articles about filming in Beacon. My husband, David Martin, is a Location Manager for film and television. Mainly his work is in New York City, but the sphere of filming has been expanding to out here in the Hudson Valley. Dutchess Tourism has been promoting this area to film productions for years, and CineHub also works with film production companies looking to film in the area, to help them make the production a little easier.
Below is an interview with David the Locations Manager to gather some tips about renting out your home to a film crew to be used as a location:
Q: What should I charge to rent out my house as a film location?
A: The location fee - which is for the use of your home - just depends on what you're willing to allow. The fee will include Prep Day(s), Shoot Day(s), Wrap Day(s). Several days could fall into Prep, Shoot, or Wrap Days. It all depends on what the production needs to do, and what their budget is. A full Shoot Day is 12 to 14 hours on average. You should be asking for more money for the Shoot Day, as those days are more involved with what the crew needs to do.
Wrap Days (aka Restoration Days) include putting your house back together the way that it was. You'll want to consider to what extent you want the film production to do this. For example: are they painting a room in your house a different color? Do you like that color? Or do you want it back the way it was? You could even speak to the Production Designer to possibly find a new color that works for you and the movie or TV show. It's a win/win. The production saves on labor and materials, and the homeowner gets a new paint job. It doesn't always work out that way, however.
The amount of the fee is an arbitrary number. They are basically paying you for the disruption to your home and your life. How much is that disruption worth to you? If it's big-budget production, you'll probably get a larger fee. If it's a smaller-budget production, it may be a smaller fee just because of budget constraints on the production.
Q: How can I arrive at a good location fee?
A: Always break the fee down by:
How many Prep Days they need to make your home look like what they need it to look like.
How many Shoot Days - which is a much larger disruption. You can stay in your home, but depending on what they are doing, the production may want to put you up in a hotel. For example: filming in your bedroom, or shooting very late into the night and you don't want to stay up that late.
Typically Prep and Wrap Day fees are much less than the Shooting Day fees.
Q: Should these "type of day" fees be spelled out in the contract?
A: Yes. In the terms listed in the contract, the fees will be, or should be, spelled out. So much money for the Shoot Days, and how many hours that covers. And even for those hourly breakdowns on the type of day, that is part of your negotiations as well.
The production might be able to shoot the space as-is, and not need full Prep Day. It will always be different. Don't do anything without a contract that spells this all out.
Q: Do I need insurance?
A: Don't do anything without insurance. The production company will have insurance for the homeowner or business owner for filming on their property. Unless it's a student film. The City of Beacon's permits require proof of insurance before they even consider issuing the permit.
Q: Are Beacon's permits to film expensive or restrictive?
A: For me - in a larger production - Beacon's fees are fine. For an independent film with a lower budget, that fee may be more difficult to sustain if they are filming for a period of days. Read more about how director Brian DiLorenzo was able to film his movie "Myth" on a super-low budget.
Keep in mind, it is the film production company who would pay the permit fee.
You can find Beacon's fees here. These fees will allow the production to park on the town streets, obstruct the sidewalks with equipment, or film a "walk and talk."
The City of Beacon has based their film permits on the type of film, and whether filming takes place on private or public property:
Photo Credit: Screenshot of the PDF of film permit fees from the City Of Beacon as of June 5, 2019.
Q: Who makes the decision on where to film? Is it up to a scout? A director? A writer?
All of them. Everyone. The Scout in the Locations Department will have their mission to find a certain type of look for a location. A certain type of exterior, interior, etc. The Scout will check first with the homeowner to see if the homeowner is OK with filming. If a homeowner is interested, the Scout will take pictures.
The Scout will show these pictures to the Production Designer who gives each location its look. If the Production Designer likes the pictures, the location pictures will be shown to the Director or the Creator of the show/film.
From there, there are all kinds of variables, like:
Is the location available the day they want to shoot?
Can they afford the location?
Is the town a film-friendly town?
All of these factors come into play. If they do come to shoot the movie or TV show, the logistics will be worked out, like where to park the equipment trucks. The Locations Department will work with the city or town to see where the production will be allowed park their trucks.
Trucks include anchors like the Hair and Makeup truck, the camera Truck. There are typically always these four trucks: Grip, Electric, Camera, Props.
Then you'll have campers for the actors, Hair and Makeup, Wardrobe, Catering, etc., depending on the size of the production. Typically they want to park as close as possible to the filming location. The Locations Department will work with the city to coordinate this parking.
If you do take an opportunity to rent out your home for filming, hopefully at the end of the day you will have enjoyed the experience. If done right between the town, the production, and the home or business owner, you might want to do it again. Keep communications open to keep things running smoothly.

Lights! Camera! Action! Locations Wanted for Filming in Dutchess County
October 09, 2018 / Marilyn Perez
This just in from Dutchess Tourism!
Film production has been picking up in the Hudson Valley, with a new film production facility going up in Newburgh (as we discovered through this commercial/retail Real Estate listing, thanks to the tip from Sarah Beckham Hooff). CineHub in Beacon has been a great resource for filmmakers over the years. Residents of Beacon have already experienced film production. Now a wider range of businesses can get in on that call for "Action!" by serving as an amazing backdrop location to films and television shows filming in Dutchess County.
You and your business can get in on the fun and benefit from the filming boom that has hit the area. Dutchess Tourism provides film location assistance to location scouts and producers, and they are working to expand their database so they can respond more quickly to requests. The types of locations they seek span from homes and local businesses, to farms and warehouses.
You can be added to the recommendation list by filling out this film location form. Hosting a film or photo shoot can increase your exposure as well as provide some economic benefit. The Hudson Valley Film Commission has estimated that in 2017, the direct regional film spending was over $30 million.

Advice About Being A Location For A Film
Hey - it's Katie from A Little Beacon Blog here, taking over this part of the article. While the fame and glory of having your home or business be in a film or television may be appealing, there are a few items you'll want to be aware of as you negotiate your way through an experience. Disclaimer: My husband is a Location Manager, and I have worked as a Production Assistant on jobs, where I carried around a walkie-talkie and basically relayed messages and told people where the bathroom was. (The film production life wasn't for me… the way-too-long hours were a deal-breaker.)
The filmed part that your house or business is in may end up on the cutting room floor. The film production may have spent a ton of money on it, but for whatever reason, it got cut out.
A "Union Production" can be a different ballgame than a production who doesn't need to be union. This means that everyone in the film crew is in a union. It's a "union job." Members have to follow certain rules, and had to achieve certain milestones to get into that union. Pay scales may be different, and budgets may be different. To work with a job not in a union is fine, and may help a low-budget film production do some big things. It also helps people who aren't in a union to get valuable experience.
Insurance: The film job should have it! Should something go wrong in your home or business, the production company may pay you directly to have it fixed, or their insurance company may pay. The job should have insurance in case this happens. Wishing for damage? Like, are you hoping for a new wall for your kitchen, and crossing your fingers that some piece of crew equipment would ding it pretty badly? Bad idea. You really don't want to deal with the back and forth - it's not worth it!
Check in with your neighbors. A film production gathering is a big deal. Sometimes they park on the street, sometimes they close a street. If it's a night shot, there will be lights at night. You'll want to talk to your neighbors to let them know if something will be going on.
Everything is negotiable. Usually in New York City, if someone's apartment is getting filmed in, the owners of the apartment get paid, and the building itself gets paid. Not that a Producer or a Location Manager would like to pay everyone, but it's good to know that for inconvenience, a price could maybe be negotiated for others.
Speaking of negotiation, read the contract. Know your contract well, and ask for things to be included in it that are important to you. Did they go past a filming date? Or an hourly end time? That should cost extra (them paying you). So, think of scenarios that might call for additional compensation, and ask questions.
You'll be tight with Locations and the Art Departments. The Art Department will be the ones messing up your place, and cleaning it up again. They should return it to the state they found it in. Again, this should not be viewed as a free way to get a new paint job. The Locations Department will be with you from the beginning, and possibly after the Art Department has left. The Locations Department will be the ones giving you the check, delivering the contract, and working with the Art Department to make sure things are done right - as you want them.

Irumbu Thirai Synopsis: Kathiravan, a major in the Indian army with anger management issues, is compelled by circumstances to borrow a loan from a bank with false documents. When the entire money in the account vanishes, Kathiravan tries to track down the scamsters, and it leads him to White Devil, a master hacker.
Irumbu Thirai Review: Given the recent controversial incidents involving Facebook-Cambridge Analytica, the shutting down of Ukrainian power stations by alleged Russian hackers, and even our very own Aadhaar Card, the topicality of Irumbuthirai's theme – cyber crime – instantly makes it compelling. Like Thani Oruvan, this film, too, is about a cat-and-mouse game between an unstoppable force and an immovable object.
The force here is White Devil aka Sathyamoorthi, a master hacker, who, in the words of a character is "Digital world oda don". And the object who is in his way of achieving his ultimate goal – of having every individual's information in his hand – is Kathiravan, a major in the Indian army, who is sort of estranged from his family because of his father, Rangasamy's compulsive borrowing habit. But Kathiravan is compelled by circumstances – he needs money to marry off his sister to her boyfriend – to take a loan from a bank with false documents. However, the entire amount vanishes from his account and a determined Kathiravan tries to track down the scamsters responsible for this. And that is how he comes in to the orbit of White Devil.
The linking of a few important scenes to money – a serial borrower dad, a loan collection agent with zero empathy, Kathiravan, who loathes borrowing, being forced to take a loan – are lovely touches. The conflict between Kathiravan and his father (Delhi Ganesh, in yet another effortlessly casual performance) is nicely brought out. When Kathiravan says, "Ungala adichiduven nu bayama irukkappa", you can't help but feel for both these characters.
The tense interval block peps up things (with a brief but impressive parkour-influenced stunt we get in the pre-interval scene) after a leisurely first half.
The dialogues on how banks are reluctant to lend loans to farmers or to students, how loan agents harass people who have borrowed small amounts, but let big fish like Vijay Mallaya to slip away, how the Aadhaar Card might be used as a weapon (White Devil remarks, "Bayamuruthala.. Nadakka poradha solren") strike a chord. George Williams's cinematography gives the film a sheen that makes it very slick.
But the film is definitely overlong, spending over 45 minutes on character development, which feels too long for a thriller like this one. Perhaps it is because of our filmmakers' tendency to end the first half with a bang. Some economy in the storytelling could have propped up the film's pace.
The whole anger management angle (Kathiravan's has an infamous temper), which recalls a similar set-up in Maayavan, seems to be mainly to include the heroine character. The film could have just given us Kathiravan as a guy who goes after the mysterious criminal who has emptied his account, and we would have still rooted for him.
That said, Mithran is wise enough to avoid any duets between Kathiravan and Rathidevi. A song on Vishal seems to be there mainly for building up the hero, but the other song, which shows Kathiravan learning to enjoy the small things in life, feels fine. Yuvan Shankar Raja's background score is quite effective.
But what makes the film compelling is how it treats its antagonist. White Devil isn't even shown until the intermission point. We don't even see his face! But we sense his presence in most of his scenes and that creates a sense of dread. The film smartly doesn't give us a flashback justifying his motivation; he does his criminal activity just because he can, and he is unapologetic about it, which is refreshing.
