TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The Latest on developments related to tensions between the U.S. and Iran (all times local):
The U.K.'s foreign secretary says the seizing of a British-flagged tanker by Iran's Revolutionary Guard "raises very serious questions about the security of British shipping and indeed international shipping" in the Strait of Hormuz.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt spoke to reporters Saturday evening after an emergency government meeting about the "totally and utterly unacceptable" interception of the Stena Impero and "measures that we are going to take" to guarantee British vessels safe passage.
Hunt said that while speaking with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif on Saturday, he again rejected Iran's assertion that Friday's incident reciprocated for Royal Marines taking part in the July 4 seizure of an Iranian tanker.
He said the Iranian tanker violated European Union sanctions by carrying oil to Syria, making its detention in the waters of a British territory legal.
Hunt said Iranian officials "see this as a tit-for-tat situation, following Grace1 being detained in Gibraltar. Nothing could be further from the truth."
He continued: "We need to see the illegal seizing of a British-flagged vessel reversed, we need that ship released, and we continue to be very concerned about the safety and welfare of the 23 crew members."
Poland has called on Iran to respect the international norms of freedom of navigation and to release the British-flagged tanker it seized "without any delay."
Poland's Foreign Ministry said in a statement Saturday it was "deeply concerned that tensions in the Persian Gulf pose direct threat to the security and safety of maritime and air traffic, global energy supply, as well as to the broader security and stability in the Middle East."
Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency is reporting that Saudi Arabia has released an Iranian oil tanker after two and a half months.
Happyness 1, belonging to the Iranian National Tanker Company (NITC), which was carrying over 1 million barrels of fuel oil, suffered a malfunction in the Red Sea off the coast of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia on April 30.
Mehr said Saudi officials had prevented the oil tanker from leaving the Jeddah port despite the fact that Iran had paid all the costs of maintenance and repair that the Saudi authorities had demanded.
Saudi authorities released the tanker and all its crew, including 24 Iranians and two Bangladeshis.
Britain's foreign secretary says he rejects Iran's attempt to link its seizure of a British-flagged tanker to a July 4 incident in which British marines helped take control of an Iranian tanker off Gibraltar.
Jeremy Hunt said Saturday afternoon that Britain's action against the Grace 1 supertanker was legal because it involved the enforcement of international sanctions against Syria since the crude oil on board was bound for that country.
In contrast, he says, Iran had no legal justification for taking control of the Stena Impero tanker while it was in Omani waters and forcing it to go to Iran.
He says "due process" will continue in the Grace 1 case to determine what happens to the tanker and its cargo and called for Iran to also follow legal norms.
Hunt says Parliament will be briefed about the shipping crisis Monday.
The Algerian state oil and gas company Sonatrach says that the Iranian coast guard forced one of its tankers to head into Iranian waters before a confrontation ended.
Algeria's state-run news agency APS, quoting Sonatrach, said Saturday the empty tanker "MESDAR" was forced into Iranian waters Friday night as it moved through the Strait of Hormuz.
An emergency hotline between Algeria's energy and foreign ministries was quickly put into place and the incident concluded an hour and 15 minutes later. APS quoted Sonatrach as saying that "no human or material incident was registered."
It said that the tanker was heading to Tanura in Saudi Arabia to onload oil for the Chinese company UNIPEC when it was forced into Iranian territorial waters.
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency is reporting that the country's powerful Revolutionary Guard has recently issued two warnings to aggressive U.S. drones.
The Saturday report quotes Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Gen. Mehdi Rabbani as saying an American MQ-9 drone had twice entered Iranian air space — once on May 26 and again on June 13 — and was confronted with hard warnings.
Gen. Rabbani said the advanced drone took off from a U.S. base in Kuwait on May 26 and flew about 20 hours near Iran's airspace.
When it approached the Iranian coast, it turned around after determining "our air defense system targeted and locked in on it."
On June 13, the drone took off from another country and when it crossed into Iran, "Our air defense systems locked in on it and it made a few warning shots."
Tasnim said the U.S. claimed that Iran launched missiles against the drone.
Britain's defense secretary says the British-flagged oil tanker that has been seized by Iranian forces was in Omani waters at the time.
Penny Mordaunt told Sky News on Saturday that the takeover was a "hostile act" by Iran. Britain has promised a "robust" response but there are no indications the use of military force is a likely option.
Mordauntsays that a British Royal Navy frigate deployed to help protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz was roughly 60 minutes from the scene when the Iranians took control of the tanker.
U.K. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt says Britain's response to Iran's seizure of a British-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz "will be considered but robust."
In comments on Twitter on Saturday, he wrote that he spoke with Iran's foreign minister and expressed extreme disappointment that the Iranian diplomat had assured him Iran wanted to de-escalate the situation but "they have behaved in the opposite way."
He wrote: "This has (to) be about actions not words if we are to find a way through. British shipping must & will be protected."
Britain's Foreign Office has summoned a senior Iranian diplomat to Whitehall to discuss the crisis brought about by Iran's seizure of a British-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
The summons to Iran's charge d'affaires came Saturday, one day after Iranian patrol boats backed by helicopter support took control of the Stena Impero tanker and brought it to Iran.
Britain has said it is seeking a diplomatic and not a military solution to the situation. It is calling for the immediate return of the vessel and its crew.
Britain's government has been holding emergency security Cabinet sessions to try and find a way out of the impasse.
The crisis came as Britain's government is in a state of transition, with Prime Minister Theresa May expected to be replaced by a new Conservative Party leader in just four days.
Germany says Iran's seizure of a British oil tanker and the brief detention of another is an "unjustifiable intrusion" on shipping through a key Persian Gulf route that is increasing tensions in the region.
The Foreign Ministry said Saturday that it "strongly condemns" Iran's actions on Friday against the vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The ministry is urging Iran to immediately release the ship and crew it seized, and said Britain has Germany's support.
It calls the seizure "an unjustifiable intrusion into the civilian shipping industry which further exacerbates an already strained situation."
It added that, "Another regional escalation would be very dangerous; it would also undermine all ongoing efforts to find a way out of the current crisis."
France's foreign ministry has called on Iran to quickly free a British-flagged oil tanker and its crew, as well as respect freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf.
The ministry said in a statement on Saturday that the seizing of the ship "harms the needed de-escalation of tensions" in the region.
It firmly condemned the action while expressing solidarity with Britain.
Iran said it seized the tanker on Friday in the Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, in what marked a new escalation of tensions in a crisis over the slow unraveling of the 2015 nuclear accord.
French President Emmanuel Macron has been leading a bid to de-escalate tensions and resume dialogue.
Iran's state TV is showing the first footage of a British-flagged oil tanker after it was seized a day earlier by the country's Revolutionary Guard.
The Saturday report published a video showing the Stena Impero docked near the port of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier Saturday, the director general of Ports and Maritime Affairs of Hormuzgan province, Allahmorad Afifipour, said all 23 crew members would remain on board the ship in order to follow safety regulations.
Iran's Guardian Council, a powerful constitutional watchdog, says the seizure of a British-flagged oil tanker was in response to Britain's role in seizing an Iranian tanker earlier this month.
The semi-official Fars news agency quoted Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, a council spokesman, as saying Saturday that "The rule of reciprocal action is well-known in international law."
Kadkhodaei says Iran made the right decision in the face of an "illegitimate economic war and seizure of oil tankers."
The Council rarely comments on such matters, but when it does, it's seen as a reflection of the supreme leader's views. That's because the council works closely with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters.
The Indian and Philippine governments say they're working to get Iran to release nationals from the two countries who were on board a British-flagged oil tanker seized by Iran in the Persian Gulf.
India's foreign ministry spokesman, Raveesh Kumar, said Saturday its diplomats were "in touch with the Government of Iran to secure the early release and repatriation" of the 18 Indian crew members on the Stena Impero.
Manila's Department of Foreign Affairs also says its ambassador to Tehran is in contact with Iranian authorities to ensure the one Filipino crew member's safety and immediate release.
Philippine Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Sarah Lou Arriola says there have been no reports of injuries among the crew.
Iran's state-run IRNA news agency has said the other crew members consisted of three Russians and a Latvian.
The chairman of Britain's House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee says military action to free the oil tanker seized by Iran would not be a good choice.
Tom Tugendhat said Saturday it would be "extremely unwise" to seek a military solution to the escalating crisis, especially because the vessel has apparently been taken to a well-protected port.
"If it has been taken to Bandar Abbas then that's an important Iranian military port and I think any military options will therefore be extremely unwise," he told BBC.
He also said it would not be useful to expel Iran's ambassador to the United Kingdom because it is important to keep talking.
Other senior British figures have said military options should not be used.
Iran's state-run IRNA news agency is reporting that the country's seizure of British-flagged oil tanker a day earlier was due to a collision with an Iranian fishing boat.
Saturday's report says the British tanker caused damage to the fishing boat, then didn't respond to calls from the smaller craft.
The fishing boat informed Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization, which notified the Revolutionary Guard.
The report says Revolutionary Guard vessels directed the Stena Impero to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas for an investigation Friday.
Iran's attempt to offer a "technical" explanation for seizing the tanker could signal a possible de-escalation of tensions in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which has become a flashpoint between Tehran and the West.
Another British ship was briefly detained by Iran on Friday before being allowed to go.

Leftist rebels free reporter, two hikers
By Susannah A. Nesmith, The Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia -- An American writer and two hikers emerged smiling from the Colombian jungle Friday after nearly a week in the custody of right-wing paramilitaries, while leftist rebels kept captive two foreign journalists working for the Los Angeles Times.
Robert Young Pelton, a freelance writer and TV reporter, said he and his companions, Megan Smaker and Mark Wedeven, were not mistreated.
In a separate case, journalists and officials appealed to the National Liberation Army, known as the ELN, to release photographer Scott Dalton, 34, of Conroe, Texas; and reporter Ruth Morris, 35, a British citizen who was raised in the Los Angeles area.
Leftist rebels -- the avowed enemies of the paramilitaries -- kidnapped the freelance journalists on Tuesday in northeastern Colombia near the Venezuelan border.
"This is very serious," said Vice President Francisco Santos, a former journalist and himself once a hostage of drug traffickers. "We hope that the ELN will free them as soon as possible."
Released Thursday night
Pelton of Redondo Beach, Calif., Smaker of Brentwood, Calif., and Wedeven of Bremerton, Wash., were turned over to church officials in northern Colombia Thursday night after they emerged from the jungle-covered Darien Gap, which spans both countries.
They arrived by boat in the town of Carepa, in northern Colombia, on Friday and were expected to travel to Bogota, the capital, next.
The paramilitary United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, or AUC, encountered the trio in a jungle-covered region along the Panamanian border on Sunday and removed them from the area when fighting broke out.
Pelton said he was not angry about being taken out of the war zone, although the paramilitary forces held them for a few days afterward.
"Even though we were not happy about being kidnapped or being kept away from our families and our jobs, they had a reason to do so," Pelton, author of a guidebook called "The World's Most Dangerous Places," told CNN.
"After all, it is their country and their war."
Wedeven said he never felt that he and his fellow travelers were abducted.
"We were not kidnapped," Wedeven said. "During the time we were with the AUC we did not have any problems."
The State Department said Friday that the United States was trying to secure the release of the two journalists who were taken captive in Arauca state, one of Colombia's most violent regions.
"We are greatly concerned about their welfare," spokesman Richard Boucher said. "Our embassy officials in Bogota are working with the government of Colombia to ensure their safe return to the United States."
He said the State Department also had contacted the families of the two journalists.
Boucher said Colombia's government must stop the terrorism that comes from the various groups involved in the civil war.
The ELN and a larger rebel group are fighting right-wing paramilitaries and the government for control of Arauca's oil-rich plains.
The United States, which has given Colombia almost $2 billion in mostly military aid, recently deployed approximately 70 Green Berets to Arauca to train Colombian troops. Washington has rejected any direct combat role for the U.S. troops, but the rebels see their presence as an act of aggression.
Dozens of foreign and local journalists holding photos of Morris and Dalton gathered in Bogota's central plaza Friday to demand their release.
The International Press Alliance, an informal organization of foreign media in Bogota, issued a statement late Thursday also calling for their release.
Both Dalton and Morris are veteran journalists.
Dalton worked for The Associated Press for about nine years in Panama, Guatemala and Colombia. Last year, he left the AP to pursue video projects while freelancing for major newspapers.
Morris has previously written as a freelancer for the Los Angeles Times, Time magazine, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and other publications.

Review: Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner – amandarobots.
It's a fairly unique product. It's a rose and argan oil body conditioner, which I like to think of as an in-shower body lotion. You scrub and clean your skin as normal. Then, just before you step out of the shower, you slather some Ro's Argan on and rinse it off.
It leaves the skin moisturized and lightly scented of roses and vanilla. I absolutely adore the scent; even if you're not into the rose scent, give this a sniff because it's super light and really different. If I didn't know it was rose-scented, I probably wouldn't be able to guess.
In terms of hydration, it really delivers. In the summer, I can use this alone as a body moisturizer. In the winter I do need a body butter on top of it; however, I've been finding that my body butter alone just hasn't been keeping the dry flakies at bay, so I'm hoping that layering that and Ro's Argan is going to help.
Another nice feature of this is the packaging. It's not fancy or frilly, but there is something special about it: Lush runs a recycling program where if you bring back 5 of their black pots, you get a free fresh face mask. Their face masks are some of the most affordable ones on the market, but they're also really unique because they're fresh and require refrigeration. In any case, it's a nice way to help the planet.
Despite its price, I really would recommend Ro's Argan. I'd have to say it's one of my favourite Lush products (this and Snow Fairy…)!
this sounds awesome! Seen this in Lush and didn't really know the purpose so thanks for sharing your review!

Q: Theorem on Variation of probability distribution in a flow Let's assume I have a dynamical system $H(\mathbf{x},t) \in \mathbb{R}^n$, where the initial phase-space distribution at time $t_0$ in terms of $\mathbf{x}_0$ is gaussian. I define a flow $\mathbf{\Phi}:\mathbf{\Phi}(H(\mathbf{x},t))= G(d)\in\mathbb{R}$; or a coordinate transformation $R: R(H(\mathbf{x},t))=\hat H(\mathbf{\hat x},t) \in \mathbb{R}^n$.
Then is there any theorem that says that my $d$ and $\mathbf{\hat x}$can be represented by the same gaussian distribution.
Or in other words, is there any theorem that states that the distribution of a phase-space will remain the same in a flow and/or transformations.
I checked Liouville's theorem which seems to say something similar, but it doesn't talk about coordinate transformations.

New Zealand director Taika Waititi is exactly what Marvel/Disney needed, a true fanboy who loves superheroes because they are fun. Away with you, brooding and tortured comic book characters! What we want to see is a superhero who gets messed with, some colorful characters, a fascinatingly deranged villain, some thrilling action and slamming special effects, a surprise cameo, and, after a suitable series of setbacks, triumph. Plus some post-credit scenes. There's all of that in this movie, plus some of the funniest moments on screen this year. It is irreverent, even cheeky. It has a sense of humor about itself while never, ever making fun of comic books or their fans.
Waititi, with a script by Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, and Christopher Yost, has taken one of the most serious of the Avengers, with only Chris Hemsworth's imperishable charm keeping him just this side of wooden, and made use of his fellow antipodean's true superpower, which is that he is a superb comic actor.
What does Thor have going for him? He has his dad, the king of the gods, Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins), his home, Asgard, his strength, his hair, his divinity, his confidence, and his hammer. He loses most of that pretty quickly, and stripped down Thor suddenly becomes a much more relatable character, more deserving of our support because he actually seems to need it. You might even say down to earth, except that earth does not really come into it this time.
"I know what you're thinking," Thor begins. "Oh, no, Thor is in a cage." He's not talking to us, and finding out who he is telling his story to is the first hint we get that we are operating in a slightly cracked universe. But then, reassuringly, Thor does his Thor thing and gets himself out of a big mess with endless panache.
And then things go wrong. The Goddess of Death (Cate Blanchett) turns up to crush his hammer in her hands. She intends to take over Asgard and there does not seem to be anything he can do about it. He ends up on a planet that is essentially a junk pile, where he is discovered by scavengers. "Are you a fighter or are you food?" they ask him. Before they can gobble him up, he is captured by another scavenger (a terrific Tessa Thompson), who turns out to have a connection to Asgard. But she sells him to the Grandmaster (a glam Jeff Goldblum), who runs a lucrative gladiator show for galactic fans. Waiting to go to battle in the arena, Thor meets the movie's most endearing character, a rock creature named Korg, played by Waititi himself. And then Thor sees his opponent in the battle to the death: his old Avenger buddy Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). We may love seeing the Avengers join together to take on the bad guys, but we love seeing them fight each other, too, and the Thor/Hulk fight is a smash. Literally.
Loki is there, too, I'm happy to say, and I only wish that someday he will have a movie of his own. Tom Hiddleston's silky bad boy admits at one point that his loyalties shift moment to moment, and his mercurial impishness is perfectly calibrated. Despite her best efforts, Blanchett's villain is not nearly as interesting as the other characters, and the resolution does not have the emotional weight that it does in the comics. But she barely diminishes the sheer fun of this film and I hope Marvel keeps Waititi on the roster for as many of these as he is willing to take on.
Parents should know that this is a superhero movie with a lot of peril and action-style fantasy violence and some disturbing images, some alcohol, and some strong language.
Family discussion: What does Loki want? Which Avenger would you most like to be? What makes someone significant?
It's better than "Cars 2," but not as good as the first "Cars," so it continues the saga of the second tier of Pixar movies. Second-tier Pixar is pretty good. But this time the storyline is unlikely to be of much interest to children. They'll enjoy the race scenes (except for the ones that are too scary) and the silly humor. But the theme of this film is the existential dilemma of an aging athlete. While "Inside Out" and "Toy Story 3" addressed issues of growing older/up with infinite tenderness and sensitivity, "Cars 3," with the help of generous samples of Paul Newman's Doc Hudson character from the first film, has appropriated the plots of many of the "Rocky" movies, with now-champion Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) confronted with his own mortality. I know; they're machines, but apparently they have parents and childhoods and lifespans.
Lightning is beaten by a super-slick competitor dashingly named Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), who looks like he is visiting from another Disney movie, "Tron." And there's another blow. Lightning has loved being sponsored by his friends at Rust-Eze, but the company has been sold and his new sponsor is the smooth, corporate Sinclair (Nathan Fillion), who tells him that if he does not win his next race, he has to stop racing all together.
But racing is all Lightning knows or cares about. If he can't race, who is he?
Sinclair has a very high-tech training facility that's all about cybermetrics. Lighting is assigned a new trainer, Cruz (Cristela Alonzo), who is essentially a stopwatch on wheels. Everything is about readouts and algorithms. Lightning takes her out on the beach to show her what real racing is. And he decides that his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, I mean Doc Hudson, may be gone, but perhaps he can find Doc's mentor, and gain some wisdom.
Lighting and Cruz end up competing in what they think is a race but what turns out to be a demolition derby (pretty scary for G). They squabble and make up and Cruz confides that she once dreamed of racing. They do find Doc's old friends, led by Smokey (Chris Cooper) and his adorable sidekicks.
It has talking cars, and kids will like that. And it doesn't have the bombast and over-complexity of "Cars 2." But it also does not have the heart we have come to rely on from Pixar, and if we feel disappointed, it is only because they have set the bar so high.
Parents should know that despite the G rating, this film has characters in peril including scary 3D car crashes and fire, many references to a sad death and to the challenges of aging, and a reference to unsupportive parents.
Family discussion: Why did Lou take other children's toys? Who is your mentor and who can you help as Doc Hudson helped Lightning?
"A little good, a little bad, bit of both," Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) promised his fellow Guardians and us at the end of the first film. And that's what we get in this sequel, still delightfully off-kilter, still deliciously irreverent, and still delectably scored with 70's pop songs. "Can you hold the banter until after the space battle?" one character asks. Probably not, and we would not want it any other way.
Despite the indicators the in post-credits scene from the first film, it is a relief to report that this movie is not about Thanos or another infinity stone. It is a more personal story, giving the characters a chance to know each other and us to know them, too.
Peter was born in Missouri to a single mother who died of cancer when he was ten, then captured by the blue-faced space pirate Yondu (Michael Rooker), who was hired to deliver him to his father but instead kept him as a sort of mascot/apprentice. In Vol 2 Peter meets his father, a "celestial" named Ego (really) with his own planet. And Zamora (Zoe Saldana) meets up with her estranged sister Nebula (Karen Gillan). I don't mean "estranged" like having trouble agreeing on what to get Mom for Mother's Day; I mean estranged like trying to kill one another.
Ego is accompanied by a new character named Mantis (Pom Klementieff) a shy and inexperienced empath who can read and sooth the emotions of others. As Peter gets to know his father, and even achieve his boyhood dream of tossing a ball back and forth with him, in typically off-kilter Guardians of the Galaxy way, the group is being chased down by a race of beautiful gold people who claim to be genetically perfect, led by Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), via drone-style attack ships. Rocket (Bradley Cooper) could not resist stealing some of their precious batteries, the very ones Ayesha had hired them to protect. They are also being sought after by Yondu, who was expelled from the tribe of space thieves led by Sylvester Stallone (really, and it kind of makes sense because he does look and sound like an alien) for keeping Peter; kids are supposed to be off limits.
The banter is fine; with very funny references to "Cheers" and to David Hasselhoff and "Knight Rider." The visuals are imaginative and striking and the battle scenes well staged. I got lost in the last one, but maybe we are supposed to. Writer/director James Gunn has an outstanding sense of pacing and tone. And I like the X-Men-style shifts of alliance. It is especially appropriate for characters who are "a little good, a little bad" to be surrounded by characters who are, too. While the father-son dynamic story does not always work, Baby Groot more than makes up for it, not just in adorable quotient but in what we learn in seeing the other characters interact with him.
"All any of you do is yell at each other," Nebula correctly points out. "You are not friends." "No, we are family," Drax (Dave Bautista) replies. And we're starting to feel like they're our family, too.
NOTE: Stay all the way to the end for several extra scenes. You won't want to miss the one with Groot.
Parents should know that this film includes extended sci-fi/comic book/action violence and peril with some disturbing images, characters injured and killed, some strong language, sexual references and and potty humor.
Family discussion: How did meeting his father change Peter's view of family? Which switch of allegiance was most surprising?

Q: Is it bad to pass class object between methods? Is it bad to pass instances of objects between methods in a class? Or is there a better way of doing this?
public void game() {
    Deck deck = new Deck();
    shuffleDeck(deck);
}

public void changeCard(Deck deck) {
    deck.replaceCard(deck);
}

A: Well... passing class object would be quite difficult in java. On the other hand the in-build mechanism of passing value of the reference is very useful and we all do that daily.
Is Java "pass-by-reference" or "pass-by-value"?
Operating with objects is a main principle of Object Oriented Programming and Java is object oriented.
Remember that you don't pass the whole object. You can imagine that as passing the instructions on how to find that object in memory.
