The Top 25 All-Time Best Wii Games (#10-6)
8:48 PM on 09.14.2012 (server time) 0
Nintendo has just announced the pricing and release date of the Wii U. It's like, two months away! In the meantime, I'm counting down my very favourite games for the original Wii, that I played over the last six (!!!) years. I'm now into the top 10!
These games are so good I ended up writing, like, twice as much for them as for the previous games. I expect at least twice as many comments! :p
#10! The House of the Dead: Overkill
With how rarely I feel the need to replay games, and how much rarer still that I actually do replay games, it's kind of refreshing to me that immediately after I finished playing The House of the Dead: Overkill, I wanted nothing more than to play it again. And I did. And again and again. And again with a friend. The game is two hours long, sure, and the 'Director's Cut' version you unlock after the first time you beat the game and the game's general arcadey nature all make clear that you're supposed to play it over and over. But god was I happy to oblige. In a lot of ways, playing this game over and over is like watching over and over a movie I really love. It's the right length, it's not taxing to play or anything, and I just can't get enough of the ridiculous characters.
It's styled after campy exploitation-type films, and in a lot of ways it's quite similar to the Tarantino/Rodriguez Grindhouse movies – which I'm a fan of... but this is way better. It's so fucking stupid and hilarious. I could just watch the part where Washington and Agent G are in the ice cream truck over and over. The awkward animations are so good. And I don't think I'll ever tire of the prison warden's delivery of the line "You two gentlemen smell like shit". Make no mistake. This is a great and very satisfying rails shooter. But the characters and writing and stuff are what push it over the top. Way over the top.
#9. Donkey Kong Country Returns
DKCR is my favourite 2D platformer ever, as a 2D platformer. Yeah, I like LittleBigPlanet and some other games more, but they have other things going for them, like the user-made content, or whatever. As a pure 2D platforming experience, to me, DKCR is unrivalled – by the Mario games, or... anything. Granted, I was never a huge fan of the original Super Mario Bros. games, but still! DKCR is ridiculously good. I'll describe a short sequence: where your mine cart suddenly finds itself on top of a giant egg, rolling at a hundred miles per hour, and you're jumping over enemies, but then there are huge spikes in the ground that make holes in the egg so you suddenly fall into one of the holes and now have to jump over the spikes from inside the egg, as well as the holes that come back around from earlier spikes, while the egg ultimately gets completely destroyed. All this happens in less than twenty seconds, but it was so mind-blowingly exhilarating and hectic that I've never forgotten about it.
This is a very challenging game, but as far as ultra-difficult games go, it is for me unrivalled in this category as well. Never have I been so satisfied with such a level of challenge in a reflex-based game before. Every single jump you must make, every enemy you must deal with, especially in the mine cart sequences, is so precisely timed – the game has such rhythm to it – that it's never frustrating, I always feel I'm improving with each try, even when it takes me many many tries. It's so satisfying to finally pull through on a sequence that was giving you trouble, and it's even more satisfying to miraculously get through a particularly hectic sequence on your first try – completely on the edge of your seat, trying to keep up your momentum. I feel like this game is kind of the pinnacle of 2D game and level design.
#8. Endless Ocean
I remember saying somewhere, if Endless Ocean was a nature documentary, it would be narrated by David Attenborough. It's that good. This is a game with no element of danger, nothing like that... you swim around and pet fish to add their information to your logs. You explore shipwrecks and ruins as well as natural formations like caves and coves. And for the most part, that's it. It's a game about leisurely exploration and it's completely enthralling. When you chance upon a particularly impressive specimen, like, say, a shark or a whale, there's a sense of awe. One of my most memorable gaming experiences was exploring the deep dark abyss area in the game, and seeing a sperm whale emerge suddenly from the darkness, only a few yards away. At the bottom, there's a ridiculously creepy shark. I remember also exploring this area with my friend, who I played this game online with a couple of times. Come to think of it, it may be my most played Wii online game, hilariously enough. We could only really communicate with our magic water pens, and some pre-set commands, but I kind of liked it, because if we were really Scuba diving, we wouldn't be able to talk to each other either. It was fun.
Anyway, there was a sequel to Endless Ocean that tried to address complaints about the lack of challenge, but I think it failed. You had a time limit on dives now, which I thought was a colossal mistake, and also there was some contrived danger where fish now got aggressive and you had to tranquilize them. It didn't work. Also, they made the encounters with huge whales and stuff happen all the time, and with more than one at a time, and it just made the encounters less special. But gosh how many wonderful hours I had exploring the original Endless Ocean. A beautiful game! I'd love to see another instalment on the Wii U, because if any game begs for HD and photorealism, this does.
#7. New Play Control! Pikmin
The rules for this list are a little weird. It's a list of my favourite experiences on the Wii... as I experienced them on the Wii... I can't list Pikmin 2 here, because even though it's awesome and I bought it for the Wii, I played it first on Gamecube and haven't really played the Wii version at all. But even though it's a port, I can totally include New Play Control Pikmin 1, and not even take into account the fact that it's a port in my ranking. Yeah I make up the rules here – deal with them! Anyways, I actually prefer the first Pikmin to Pikmin 2. It's got way less content, but then Pikmin 2 had all that below-ground stuff which isn't as good as the above-ground stuff, and, as much as I love the multiple-character mechanic in 2, there's something about the original game, presentation-wise, with Olimar stranded alone on the planet trying to rebuild his ship, that's just so extra memorable and special and that I really love. They're both incredible, must-play games, but the original has the edge over 2, for my tastes.
Anyway, Pikmin invented a wholly original gameplay style which has been borrowed to great effect in a tiny handful of other games since, and which I personally just can't get enough of. If you can call it a genre (I refer to them as Pikmin-style 'faux'-RTS games), then it's probably my favourite genre. It's absolutely sublime, and still, though some games borrow the gameplay style, none are quite like Pikmin. It's still something unique and special and it's one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. And the 'New Play Controls' are perfect.
#6. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
This game is beautiful, visually and thematically. The theme of Fragile is loneliness, and it's executed brilliantly. And I don't think I've ever seen a prettier sky in a game (it's such a good sky!)... Fragile is a game that requires patience – it's certainly not the most polished game around, and it can be incredibly slow-paced, but if you're open to its ideas... god, I love this game so much. One of the game's features is the presence of collectible 'memory-items', scattered throughout the game's levels, all with little sad stories attached to them – and it's a brilliant device for setting the game's mood. And then, as you run through and explore the environments on this abandoned Earth, your flashlight subtlely bringing out the beauty in the World, and as you interact with your current companion, always pretextually, for they are only ever ghosts or robots... there is never any question about Seto's quiet struggle.
I enjoy the combat well enough for the most part, but it's the exploration, and the game's pervading mood that makes being in the world so compelling, that are really what make the game great. The story and characters too, are quite memorable, and the climax won't disappoint. It's a thoroughly incredible game, and one definitely not like any other. It's most certainly not for everybody, but for me, it's one of the ultimate examples of this kind of 'special' gaming experience that I play as many video games as I do in the hopes of chancing upon.
And that's all for now. Only one post left to go! Are you excited?!?!

In view of the high cost of fuel today, Marine Propulsion Plant designers should re-evaluate more sophisticated cycles to obtain better overall economy. Part of this evaluation should include a study of non-reheat cycles utilizing efficient large frame non-reheat turbines. This paper gives the capability of one manufacturer's frame sizes for higher powers and suggests maximum utilization of non-reheat cycles including higher inlet conditions and the use of the gas air heater as a viable alternative to reheat. The proper sizing of the LP turbine and its effect on fuel rate is emphasized.
Presented at the New York Metropolitan Section Meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.

Reflection + Wonder
Saturday, May 10, 2014 • 7:30 p.m.
Karin Wolverton, soprano
Sarah Mattox, mezzo-soprano
Charles Ives (1874–1954)
The Unanswered Question
Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924)
Après un rêve, Op. 7, No. 1
Samuel Barber (1910–1981)
The Music Makers, Op. 69
Clinton Smith notes that Ives' The Unanswered Question provides "quite an experience for the audience. The strings' slowly changing chords represent the ethos, or the continuum of the universe, while solo trumpet asks the question seven times. With ever-increasing frenetic energy, four flutes represent human beings reacting to the question of existence that cannot be answered." Faurè's Après un rêve, "a gorgeous meditative piece originally for voice, depicts a dreamer's longing for someone encountered in the dream."
Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 sets to music excerpts from an ode to childhood by James Agee, remembering the summer before his father's death. Barber dedicated the work to his own father, casting a solo soprano "as a young child who sometimes acts as an adult" to "paint the nostalgia of childhood."
Elgar's The Music Makers quotes from a number of the composer's previous works, most notably the "Nimrod" movement of the Enigma Variations. In their first entrance, the chorus sings, "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." Indeed, notes Clinton, "the performers of OSSCS are the music makers and this rarely performed masterwork provides the perfect anthem with which to conclude our initial season together."
Violinst Stephen Provine has served as co-concertmaster of Orchestra Seattle since 2004. Born in the north of England, he began studying the violin at an early age, winning many local and regional competitions. He has performed throughout Europe and the United States, including concerts at the Royal Festival Hall in the presence of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and in the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Promenade concert series.
Soprano Karin Wolverton has been described by Opera News as "a young soprano to watch," having "a lovely warm tone, easy agility and winning musicality." She recently took on the challenging role of Anna Sörensen in the world premier of Kevin Puts' Silent Night with Minnesota Opera and made her Carnegie Hall debut with the Minnesota Orchestra in Nielsen's Symphony No. 3. Last season she returned to Minnesota Opera for the premiere of Doubt. The 2013–2014 season includes her debut with Tulsa Opera as Micaëla in Carmen and appearances with the Pennsylvania Ballet for Carmina Burana and the Huntsville Symphony as Mimì in La bohème. Future engagements include a debut with the Austin Lyric Opera as Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni. Learn more: karinwolverton.com
Mezzo-soprano Sarah Mattox is a first-prize winner of the Belle Voci National Competition and has sung principal roles with Cincinnati Opera, Palm Beach Opera, Chicago Opera Theater, Lyric Opera Cleveland, Eugene Opera, Amarillo Opera and many others. The Seattle Times said she "raised eyebrows all over the Opera House with her believable, lifelike acting and her well-schooled voice," while the Akron Beacon Journal called her "a rich-toned mezzo-soprano." The Seattle Post-Intelligencer praised her "sensitive singing,…warm, expressive voice and clear diction" in concert appearances with the Seattle Symphony. Her first solo CD, Copland and Cole, with pianist Judith Cohen, features Copland's Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson and an entertaining selection of Cole Porter's lesser-known songs.

Charles Ives was born October 20, 1874, in Danbury, Connecticut, and died on May 19, 1954, in New York City. He completed The Unanswered Question in 1908, revising it between 1930 and 1935. Theodore Bloomfield conducted students from the Juilliard School in the first performance on May 11, 1946. The work requires 4 flutes, solo trumpet and strings.
A decade before Stravinsky and Schoenberg began shocking Europe with their groundbreaking compositions, Charles Ives was turning out equally innovative music in America—most of which would remain unheard for several decades. Ives supported himself as an insurance agent, founding one of the most successful firms in the country and pioneering the field now known as financial planning. Late at night, on weekends and during summer vacations, he devoted his time to composition.
Ives completed the first version of his most famous and most often-performed work, The Unanswered Question, in 1908, originally pairing it with another tone poem, Central Park in the Dark, calling them "Two Contemplations." A heart attack in 1918 slowed his musical output—and by 1927 he had stopped composing altogether. Over the next several years, he revised and edited his earlier music, including The Unanswered Question, to which he applied some minor edits and affixed the following, rather enigmatic, program:
"The strings play ppp throughout with no change in tempo. They are to represent 'The Silences of the Druids— Who Know, See, and Hear Nothing.' The trumpet intones 'The Perennial Question of Existence,' and states it in the same tone of voice each time…the hunt for 'The Invisible Answer,' undertaken by the flutes and other human beings, becomes gradually more active…'The Fighting Answerers,' as the time goes on, and after a 'secret conference,' seem to realize a futility, and begin to mock 'The Question.' After they disappear, 'The Question' is asked for the last time, and 'The Silences' are heard beyond in 'Undisturbed Solitude.' "
Fauré was born May 12, 1845, in Pamiers, France, and died in Paris on November 4, 1924. He composed "Après un rêve" for voice and piano in 1878; Henri Büsser's 1924 orchestration of the accompaniment calls for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn and strings. Gabriel Pierné conducted the first performance of this orchestral version with soloist Yvonne Gall and the Orchestre Colonne at the Théâtre du Châtelet on January 4, 1925.
Fauré, most widely known today for his ever-popular Requiem and haunting Pavane, was a master of the mélodie, or French art song. Set to lyrics by Romain Bussine, "Après un rêve" ("After a Dream") dates from a period shortly after the composer's broken engagement. "The song describes with aching poignancy," writes Jessica Duchen, "the disillusionment upon discovering that a passionate dream was merely an illusion."
"Après un rêve" remains Fauré's most frequently performed song, not only in its original incarnation for voice and piano, but in various instrumental guises (including a 1910 arrangement for cello and piano by Pablo Casals), jazz interpretations (the opening track of Arturo Sandoval's 2010 CD A Time for Love) and recordings by popular artists (Barbra Streisand's 1976 LP Classical Barbra). Shortly before Fauré's death, a former student, Paul-Henri Büsser, showed his old teacher orchestrations of four Fauré songs, including "Après un rêve," which we hear this evening with violin taking the solo role. "Everything that you have taken the trouble to write is perfect," Fauré told Büsser.
Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Op. 24
Barber was born March 9, 1910, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and died January 23, 1981, in New York. He completed the first version of this work on April 4, 1947; Eleanor Steber sang the premiere with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Serge Koussevitzky, on April 9, 1948. A revised version, made the following year, debuted on April 1, 1950, at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., and is scored for solo soprano, flute (doubling piccolo), oboe (doubling English horn), clarinet, bassoon, 2 horns, trumpet, triangle, harp and strings.
In contrast to Charles Ives, Samuel Barber enjoyed early success as a composer and—although born two years after Ives had written The Unanswered Question—embraced a conservative Romantic style. While Ives finally enjoyed public acclamation in his old age, Barber fell into disfavor during his later years, after the unsuccessful premiere of his opera Antony and Cleopatra.
Although James Agee's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" first appeared in the August–September 1938 issue of The Partisan Review, Barber encountered it in January 1947. "I had always admired Mr. Agee's writing," Barber revealed, "and this prose-poem particularly struck me because the summer evening he describes in his native southern town reminded me so much of similar evenings when I was a child at home. I found out, after setting this, that Mr. Agee and I are the same age, and the year he described was 1915, when we were both five. You see, it expresses a child's feelings of loneliness, wonder and lack of identity in that marginal world between twilight and sleep." The nostalgia evoked in Agee's text was made all the more poignant by the suffering of Barber's father and aunt from soon-to-be-fatal illnesses.
The composer took advantage of a February 1947 commission from conductor Serge Koussevitzky, setting Agee's prose for the large forces of the Boston Symphony—despite his inclination to create a more intimate accompaniment. Unable to attend the premiere, Barber first heard the work at a rehearsal for a radio broadcast featuring Eileen Farrell with Bernard Herrmann conducting the CBS Symphony. He then set about re-orchestrating the piece, making some minor edits in the process.
"I really think it sounded better in this intimate version," Barber wrote after the 1950 debut of the seminal American work for soprano and orchestra. Aaron Copland even lamented not having had the chance to set Agee's text himself: "It's just as well it happened the way it did," he admitted, "or we wouldn't have Sam's beautiful score."
Elgar was born June 2, 1857, near Worcester, England, where he died on February 23, 1934. He conducted the premiere of this work at the Birmingham Triennial Festival on October 1, 1912. In addition to a contralto soloist and chorus, the work calls for triple woodwinds (including piccolo, English horn, bass clarinet and contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, organ, 2 harps and strings.
The music maker upon whose work you will reflect with wonder this evening was once the "composer in ordinary" to the county lunatic asylum; converted part of a backyard outbuilding into a chemistry lab and patented a device for synthesizing hydrogen sulfide; authored an encoded note, known as the "Dorabella cipher," whose meaning remains a mystery more than a century later; produced the famous march heard at nearly every graduation ceremony across America; was knighted in 1904 by King Edward VII; and was appointed Master of the King's Musick in 1924. This versatile, self-taught English composer and conductor, Sir Edward Elgar, wrote in all the major musical forms apart from opera and, perhaps even more significantly for posterity, conducted and recorded most of his own instrumental music.
The fourth of seven children of a piano technician and music-shop owner, violinist and organist, young Edward taught himself to play the instruments available in the store and studied the sheet music as well. As a boy of about 10, he wrote music for a family play that later provided him with themes for several adult compositions. His lack of formal musical training contributed to his originality as a composer, but left him without mentors who could open for him the doors into the adamantine musical structures of his England. Fortunately, a major-general's daughter named Caroline Alice Roberts, a writer and musician who was one of Elgar's piano pupils, married the "tradesman class" composer in 1889, much against her family's wishes, and devoted herself to the advancement of her husband's career through both her practical assistance and her inextinguishable belief in his talents ("The care of a genius is enough of a life work for any woman," she wrote in her diary).
Among Elgar's enduring successes, which came to him relatively late, are numbered his famous Enigma Variations of 1899 (which includes the often-performed "Nimrod" variation), about which Elgar wrote: "The Enigma I will not explain—its 'dark saying' must be left unguessed…further, through and over the whole set [of variations] another and larger theme 'goes,' but is not played" (this second theme has never been discovered); the oratorio The Dream of Gerontius of 1900, which is considered the finest such work by an Englishman; and the first Pomp and Circumstance March of 1901, from which the patriotic song "Land of Hope and Glory," the unofficial British national anthem, is derived, and the music of the middle section of which continues to accompany the entry processions of nearly all American graduating students (about this melody, Elgar told his friend Dora ["Dorabella"] Penny: "I've got a tune that will knock 'em—knock 'em flat!…a tune like that comes once in a lifetime"). His first symphony (1908) was compared favorably to those of Beethoven, though his second has been thought by many to be his finest symphonic composition, and his cello concerto (1919) is considered his final great masterwork.
For some 33 years following Alice Elgar's death from cancer in 1920, Elgar's musical muse remained largely silent. The composer was made Knight Commander of the Victorian Order in 1928, and in 1932 he recorded his very personal 1910 violin concerto, containing, mysteriously, a "soul enshrined," with the 16-year-old Yehudi Menuhin as soloist. Following his death, also from cancer, at age 76, Elgar was buried beside his wife.
"I am still at heart that dreamy child who used to be found in the reeds by the Severn side with a sheet of paper trying to fix the sounds and longing for something very great. I am still looking for this." So wrote, in his last years, the Edward Elgar who, as a musician and person, was drawn to the wondrous realm of dreams throughout his life, and who was therefore naturally and powerfully attracted to the now-little-known "Ode" (which opens with the lines, "We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams") from the 1874 poetry collection Music and Moonlight by Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy (1844–1881), a then-popular British poet of Irish heritage who was a library transcriber and later a herpetologist at the British Museum. The poem expressed Elgar's own belief that creative artists, who are somehow "different" and who therefore live, often in loneliness, slightly apart from other people, are humanity's inspiration and the "movers and shakers" of history and society.
Elgar began to sketch a setting of O'Shaughnessy's poem, to be called The Dreamers, around 1902, but a commission from the Birmingham Triennial Festival impelled the completion in the late summer of 1912 of a work of deep reflection and reminiscence, now entitled The Music Makers and dedicated to Nicholas Kilburn, an amateur musician and one of Elgar's dearest friends. Elgar conducted the work's premiere at the Birmingham Festival on October 1 of that year with Muriel Foster as soloist, and it gained immediate public popularity, though critics disliked the text and objected to Elgar's incorporation into the piece of motives from some of his significant earlier works (such "selfquotation" is certainly not unknown in the compositions of others!).
This intimate but passionate work meant a great deal to its composer, who was depressed and physically unwell as he wove, beautifully, intricately and highly appropriately, the threads of his musical past into a shimmeringly colorful fabric that, he declared, allowed his bared soul to shine through. Elgar himself observed: "The atmosphere of the music is mainly sad, but there are moments of enthusiasm and bursts of joy occasionally approaching frenzy: moods which the creative artist suffers in creating or in contemplation of the unending influence of his creation. Yes suffers:—this is the only word I dare use; for even the highest ecstasy of 'making' is mixed with the consciousness of the somber dignity of the eternity of the artist's responsibility." Two undulating motives are introduced in the work's orchestral prelude, the first nervously chromatic and restless, and the second, for the strings, more romantically lyrical. The main Enigma theme, representing the lonely composer himself through its use of the rhythm of the name "Edward Elgar," appears before the contemplative chorus, the "music makers" themselves, enters with an "artist's theme" that recurs throughout the work as a sort of refrain. At the word "dreams," the "judgment" motive from The Dream of Gerontius haunts the orchestra, while Sea Pictures are briefly sketched at the words "sea breakers." After additional Enigma quotations, the vigorous singers "fashion an empire's glory" in the work's second section with the help of Rule Britannia and La Marseillaise, and then "trample a kingdom down" in descending whole tones.
The march-like third section, which builds Nineveh, then tumbles Babel's tower, and finally brings to glorious birth a new dream, concludes with a hushed choral chanting of the theme of the artists who, in Elgar's words, "renew the world as of yore." The orchestral prelude's serene second theme opens the fourth section, in which the chorus inspires the soldier, king and peasant to work together in one (on a unison note) to realize a dream upon a pedal point's foundation. The contralto soloist next meditates on the prelude's second theme until the appearance of Enigma's "Nimrod" variation, in which the chorus joins the high-soaring soloist in a tribute to Elgar's deceased friend A.J. Jaeger, whose unfaltering belief in the composer's greatness brought undying light and "wrought flame on another man's heart," these words being accompanied by music from the finale of Elgar's Symphony No. 2.
In the work's frenetic sixth section, the soloist enlists the choral multitudes in the thrilling fulfillment of the music makers' dream; the rapturous proclamation of the "artist's theme" swells into a fugato that soon dissipates into somber musings by soloist and chorus upon the more melancholy aspects of the dream. The orchestra reintroduces the prelude's uncertain initial theme as the seventh section begins, but soon the music makers' dreaming and singing sway and sweep skyward into a glorious future, and the Enigma theme returns together with references to Elgar's violin concerto. A quiet quotation of the "artist's theme" opens the next section, but at once the main motive of Elgar's Symphony No. 1 sends the music soaring into the infinite dawn. Following a choral warning that those of the past must die, the soloist, accompanied by the music of the second prelude theme, urges the music makers, who continue to dream and sing "a little apart," to share with humanity their new songs and dreams. The prelude's first theme returns to commemorate "the singer who sings no more," and the music that accompanies Gerontius' final words ("This is the last [newest] hour!") is heard before the chorus' final whispered reminder, in the music of the opening "artist's theme," that music-making dreamers indeed have the wonder-filled "last word" that renews the world.

Q: How to take one Financial year in java How do I change the value of the Year(2014) i.e. from March -December the value of the year is 2014 and after December(2014) the value of the year should change to Year+1 i.e. 2015 in java?
currently I'm doing like the below piece of code
String monthsArray[] = { "Apr","May", "Jun", "July", "Aug",
                         "Sep", "Oct","Nov", "Dec",
                         "Jan", "Feb", "Mar" };

for (int m = 0; m < monthsArray.length; m++) {
    int yearInt = Integer.parseInt(year);
    if (m == 9) {
        yearInt = yearInt + 1;
    }
    if (m >= 9) {
        year = Integer.toString(yearInt);
        accountsBean.setYear(year);
    } else {
        accountsBean.setYear(year);
    }
}

A: You can use the following to append year(s) to a date:
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(randomDate);
c.add(Calendar.YEAR, 1); // add 1 year to randomDate
Date date = c.getTime();

A: If you are able to use Java 8 with the new java.time APIs, it is easy to directly query any compatible temporal object for the "fiscal year":
private static int fiscalYear(TemporalAccessor val) {
    final int natYear = val.get(ChronoField.YEAR);
    final boolean beforeMarch = Month.from(val).compareTo(Month.MARCH) < 0;
    return natYear - (beforeMarch ? 1 : 0);
}

Here, TemporalAccessor is a "generalized" temporal object, which might be a completely defined point in the timeline like OffsetDateTime or a more "fuzzy" object such as LocalDate. You can then use the function as an implementation of the TemporalQuery interface:
System.out.println(LocalDate.now().query(fiscalYear)); // Prints 2016

It will only work with TemporalAccessor objects that can provide year and month values, so for example the following attempts would raise an exception:
// Instant counts nanoseconds from the epoch, but does now know "years" or "months"
System.out.println(Instant.now().query(fiscalYear));
// LocalTime does not store date information at all
System.out.println(LocalTime.now().query(fiscalYear));

THE ACOUSTIC EGG BOX
Sounds great. Looks sharp.
2017 – The Acoustic Egg Box Top 20 Albums Of The Year (Part One: 20-11)
And so, without further ado and after many hours of turmoil, sleepless nights and long conversations with myself, I present for your delectation (and dismay no doubt), the first half of this year's prestigious Acoustic Egg Box Album's Of The Year for 2017. I've based the chart on nothing more than my own exceptionally good taste in music, but, due to the fact that I also have a "proper job", (yes I know, how selfish), I only have a finite amount of hours listening time in what, I think at least, has been an exceptional year for new music. There will, of course, be records that some of you equally discerning readers think should have been included among these magnificent examples of music being made in 2017- but it's my blog and therefore I'm obviously right! Seriously though, the wonderful thing about any art is its subjective nature and its ability to create debate and discussion; I know this is true as, when my gorgeous wife is questioned about her strange choice of husband, she always replies with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"…………
20: BECK – Colors (Capitol)
Beck's sublime, career-best record "Morning Phase" was The 2014 Acoustic Egg Box Album Of The Year so he was going to have to come up with something pretty special to equal that feat. As something of a genre-hopping chameleon you're never sure what you're going to get with Mr Hansen and on Color's (his 13th studio album) he has traded in wistful and melancholic introspection for classic pop. Although not quite reaching the dizzy artistic heights of its predecessor, "Colors" is still a cracking album and with the opening single, "Up All Night", it gave us one of the catchiest tracks of the year.
19: ELBOW – Little Fictions (Polydor)
I love Elbow, they are my comfort blanket; a band of quietly unassuming but richly talented blokes who make gorgeous, grown-up music that warms your cockles even during the bleakest of moments. Although "Little Fictions" is still unmistakably Elbow, in the time that's elapsed since 2014's gorgeous "The Take Off & Landing Of Everything" (AEB No.5), drummer Richard Jupp's shock departure from the line-up has resulted in the band taking on a more experimental and percussive sound than on recent albums. However, despite the slightly different direction they've taken in places, we were still treated to another lush Elbow classic in the anthemic opening single "Magnificent (She Says)".
18: THUNDERCAT – Drunk (Brainfeeder)
Thundercat's (AKA Steven Bruner) hugely entertaining and utterly bonkers set, was, for me, one of the highlights of Glastonbury 2017 and made me sit up and take notice of this extraordinarily talented musician. With his inventive, yet accessible, brand of "cosmic" jazz, bassist Thundercat, along with Flying Lotus, Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi Washington et al, is one of the most innovative of a new breed of young black musicians kicking fresh life into the R&B/ Hip-Hop scene. Don't be put off by the jazz label though, as this album will also appeal to fans of, among others, Earth, Wind & Fire and Steely Dan and, on "Show You The Way", he even enlists the unlikely help of Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins on one of the singles of the year.
17: CURTIS HARDING – Face Your Fear (Anti-)
The great news is that this year has seen something of a resurgence in classic soul music made by proper singers singing decent songs accompanied by real musicians and with "Face Your Fear", former CeeLo Green backup singer Curtis Harding has definitely made some classic sounding soul music. Although more introspective than his 2014 début, "Soul Power", the eleven co-penned, Dangermouse produced, Gaye/ Mayfield influenced tracks on show here aren't without their uplifting moments. Highlights include the terrific, Motown-esque single "Need Your Love" which is impossible not to tap your toes to and "Dream Girl" on which Harding's falsetto conjures up visions of Prince doing psychedelic-soul. A great second album indeed that bodes extremely well for the future of Curtis Harding and the soul genre overall.
16: LCD SOUNDSYSTEM – American Dream (DFA/ Columbia)
Back in 2011, after releasing three exceptional "new-wave electronica dance rock" (ok, I made that up) albums, LCD Soundsytem's main man and Bowie acolyte, James Murphy, decided to "retire" the band with a spectacular last concert at New York's Madison Square Garden. However, with the untimely death of his hero (and whose Blackstar album Murphy was a contributor on) his creativity has been jolted back to life. As you'd expect, Bowie's influence is all over the album – "Change Yr Mind" could have been lifted from Scary Monsters and echoes of his Berlin period abound but if you want further reference points, think OMD ("Oh Baby"); Talking Heads ("Other Voices"); PiL ("How Do You Sleep") and Human League ("American Dream"). Despite all the touchstones though, this is an album as fresh and relevant as anything released in 2017. Welcome back Mr Murphy, you were missed!
15: SAINT ETIENNE – Home Counties (Heavenly)
After a gap of five years, this quintessentially English band return with a quintessentially English album about the Home Counties. Over the course of these nineteen tracks, the band embark on a typically melodic musical journey through the areas surrounding London as envisioned by lyricists in chief Sarah Cracknell and Bob Stanley. The songs, replete with birdsong, dulcimers, a church choir and mentions of apple-tree orchards, rail replacement buses and characters including "Train Drivers In Eyeliner", are little kitchen sink dramas often wistfully referring to England's (imagined?) idyllic past. High points include the lush, synth-driven "Whyteleaf" in which they imagine what would have become of David Bowie if he'd never left the area and the exceptional Cracknell narrated, swirling psychedelic majesty of seven-minute epic, "Arcadia". Bands twenty-six years into a brilliant career have no right to be making albums this good, but then again most of them don't contain songwriters of the calibre of Cracknell and Stanley.
14: THE LEN PRICE 3 – Kentish Longtails (MRI)
To my detriment, until the September release of their fifth studio album "Kentish Longtails", I had never heard anything by Medway band, The Len Price 3. So, for those of you who are still in the Len Price 3 wilderness that I was in August, here's a quick introduction to the band and their music: imagine it's 1979 and the post-punk Mod revival is in full swing, throw into the mix some Buzzcocks, Undertones and Sham 69 along with The Jam, The Chords and Dr.Feelgood, stir in the best bits from the mid-nineties Brit Pop era and garnish generously with classic The Who and The Kinks songwriting, and you'll get a sense of what to expect. This album is so good that many of the fourteen catchy, three-minute power-pop mini-classics on Kentish Longtails would almost certainly have graced the Top 10 in another era, especially "Childish Words", "Saturday Morning Filmshow", "Stop Start Lilly", "Paint Your Picture Well" and the beautiful ballad "Telegraph Hill". Find of the year!
13: REAL ESTATE – In Mind (Domino)
New Jersey's Real Estate are as good an aural antidote to the British winter as you'll find. Since the release of 2014's sublime "Atlas" (AEB No.3) and despite being shaken by the acrimonious departure of founding member, guitarist and sonic lynchpin Matt Mondanile, I'm happy to report that they are still intact and every bit as mellow and melodically sublime as ever. Lead singer and songwriter Martin Courtney has once again worked his magic on "In Mind", their fourth album, and given us eleven more tracks that would sit comfortably among the best Laurel Canyon offerings from the late 60's/ early 70's, and on the stoned, swooning "After the Moon", he has penned something of a minor classic. Put this record on, pour yourself a Pimms and daydream about the summer
12: DON BRYANT – Don't Give Up On Love (Fat Possum)
75-year-old Don Bryant is something of a legend – not so much for his singing career but as a songwriter. Married to soul star, Ann Peebles since 1974, Bryant was responsible for penning her biggest hit, "I Can't Stand The Rain" along with many other songs for Hi-Records artists including Al Green and Otis Clay. He also wrote the classic "A Nickel & A Nail" – a big hit for O.V Wright and the opening track on this, his first album for forty-eight years! Other album highlights include the yearning title track; the swinging Southern Soul of "Something About You"; the upbeat and bluesy "I Got To Know" and the gospel call and response belter "How Do I Get Here", on which he demonstrates that vocal control and power isn't just the domain of the young. Comeback album of the year.
11: FATHER JOHN MISTY – Pure Comedy (Sub Pop)
Although the former Fleet Foxes drummer, Josh Tillman (AKA Father John Misty), can act like an arrogant bellend of some aplomb, when it comes to the task of making music, there are few singer-songwriters currently working that can touch him for sheer lyrical and musical brilliance. Although as an album "Pure Comedy", which addresses themes of fame, technology and the human condition, doesn't quite hit the heights of "I Love You Honeybear" (The 2015 Acoustic Egg Box Album of The Year) it has given us, in the title track, possibly the greatest song he has ever written: "Their languages just serve to confuse them, Their confusion somehow makes them more sure, They build fortunes poisoning their offspring, And hand out prizes when someone patents the cure". Based on his recent output, the man is an undoubted genius and, as we all know, geniuses are often flawed, so, in his defence, and as long as he keeps making great music, I will forgive him his twattery.
2014 – The Acoustic Egg Box Top 20 Albums Of The Year (Part Two – No's 10-1)
Well here's the bit you've all been waiting so patiently for – numbers 10 to 1 in 2014's "The Acoustic Egg Box Albums Of The Year". If the amount of letters, emails, tweets and phone calls are anything to go by after the 20-11 section was issued, it appears both of you were disappointed to see there were no entries from One Direction, Mario Lanza or Anal Vomit. Never mind, there's always next year…….
10: ALLAH-LAS – Worship The Sun (Innovative Leisure) The second album from L.A based Allah-Las sees them once again ploughing their own retro furrow of fuzzy psyched up/ 60's garage, but with a more assured feel than their 2012 debut. The influences are many (The Byrds/ Love/ Seeds etc) and their version of The Frantics' 1960 single "Werewolf" (No Werewolf) is great, mad fun.
9: DAMIEN JURADO – Brothers & Sisters Of The Eternal Sun (Secretly Canadian) Although still as inventive and "out there" as ever, Jurado's Richard Swift produced 11th album is the most eminently listenable and coherent record of his prolific career. In places, the songs are shimmering and beautiful, in others psyched up and jazzy but all of them worthy of repeated listens.
8: SLOW CLUB – Complete Surrender (Caroline) From 2009's folky debut to 2011's poppier follow up and on to this, their fantastic, tune laden and soulful third, Sheffield's male/ female duo, Slow Club, have certainly been anything but formulaic in their musical progression. The production, although polished, stops short of being too contrived, allowing their superb vocals room to shine.
7: TY SEGALL – Manipulator (Drag City) Manipulator is the longest album in this top twenty with its 17 tracks running to just over an hour – an hour of joyous, rocky, glam, psychedelic, driving, garage from start to finish. Segall may be prolific but he certainly doesn't sacrifice quality for quantity. Fans of Bolan, Bowie, Iggy, The Stones, Yardbirds et al won't be disappointed.
6: CHERRY GHOST – Herd Runners (Heavenly) Cherry Ghost is, essentially, Simon Aldred – one of Britain's finest, most underrated songwriters. This is an album of proper songs; songs of romance, heartbreak, lost love and found love – all sharing a soulful, melancholic beauty. If you can listen to "Drinking For Two" without a lump in your throat, you must have a heart of stone.
5: ELBOW – The Take Off And Landing Of Everything (Fiction) For a band who have now been together for nearly 25 years they aren't having a bad run of form! Their trademark melodies and orchestral flourishes are here in full effect and the vivid songwriting and unique lyrical aphorisms are better than ever. In summary: the more things change the more they stay the same – but in a good way. Gorgeous
4: MANIC STREET PREACHERS – Futurology (Columbia) The fact that Futurology was recorded in Berlin is evident from the off. The album brims with influences from Neu! to Bowie and even the early (good) incarnation of Simple Minds. Synths are used to great effect throughout but especially so on "Let's Go To War" – one of 2014's best tracks. A brave, brilliant album from a band still very much at the top of their game.
3: REAL ESTATE – Atlas (Domino) It could be lazy of me to describe Real Estate's "Atlas" as "21st Century Byrdsian", but that's pretty much the vibe that they conjure up, and an absolutely joyful vibe it is too. Listening to this album on a cold, wet and windy English December day has the power to transport you to summertime on a Californian beach.
2: REIGNING SOUND – Shattered (Merge) Greg Cartwright is the best American songwriter you've never heard of and, on "Shattered", he's honed Reigning Sound's (largely) garage rock output into a brilliantly eclectic Stax era soulful, funky, country rock album replete with horns, strings, pedal steel and flourishes of Hammond organ. To hear it is to love it!
1: BECK – Morning Phase (Capitol) Comparisons to 2002's sublime "Sea Change" are inevitable but, as good as that album is, "Morning Phase" blows it out of the water. This is a record that could have been made at any time during the prodigious late 60's/ early 70's Laurel Canyon era and still been hailed as the classic that it most certainly is. It is an often mournful but always mellifluously beautiful suite of songs that luminaries such as Crosby, Stills, Nash or Young, The Byrds, Dylan, Nick Drake et al would have been proud to call their own. This is quite simply a stunning, timeless album and a career-best by some way. A worthy Number One!

Jackson, NJ carjacking suspect arrested in Lakewood
Jen Ursillo
Jen Ursillo Published: December 14, 2021
JACKSON — A carjacking in Jackson turned violent Monday morning after police spoke with a 57-year-old woman who reported that her vehicle had been stolen at a gas station by a man who punched her face.
It happened at the Lukoil gas station on West Countyline Road just before 10 a.m. The victim told officers she had been standing outside her 1999 Dodge Pickup when a man got into the driver's seat. She opened the door to see what he was doing. That's when he punched her and drove off, police said.
A short time later, a police officer in a parking lot on West Countyline Road in Lakewood saw the stolen pickup and the suspect, identified as 40-year-old Kevin Breaux of Jackson, being chased by several people, one of whom was bleeding from the face.
The people who had been chasing Breaux claimed he had assaulted them as well.
The officer chased Breaux on foot and then held him at gunpoint until backup arrived.
Breaux was charged with carjacking.
Police said he also was combative with staff at the Ocean County Jail.

As a supplement, pyruvate is usually sold in the form of calcium pyruvate (the stabilized version of pyruvic acid). Calcium pyruvate is the compound responsible for initiating the Krebs cycle. This process involves the series of reactions in which cells produce energy during aerobic exercise. Supplements containing calcium pyruvate may be preferable to those containing sodium pyruvate as the active ingredient. The sodium used to stabilize the pyruvate can raise the level of sodium in the body, which could be an issue for those who need to restrict sodium from their diets, such as people with high blood pressure and people with kidney disease.
Pyruvate is sometimes used in combination formulas marketed as fat burners, or combined with creatine in supplements used to boost athletic performance.

An Indiana appeals court on Friday threw out the most serious conviction of Purvi Patel, the first US woman to be sent to prison for inducing her own abortion, and reduced the severity of the other charge of which she was convicted, with a rebuke for the prosecutors who sought furiously to convict her of fetal homicide.
The ruling will cut at least a decade off Patel's prison sentence, and probably more. Patel, whose name has become a touchstone in the nation's abortion debate, has served a little over a year of her 20-year prison sentence for child neglect and feticide. Both convictions stemmed from her 2013 self-abortion attempt, which ended in a miscarriage.
In a 42-page ruling, by Judge Terry A Crone, the court reduced the child neglect charge by an order of magnitude. And it reproached prosecutors for charging Patel under the state's 2009 feticide law, saying there was no evidence that lawmakers intended the law to punish pregnant women. Indiana passed the measure in 2009 after a pregnant woman was shot and lost the twins she was carrying.
Patel's conviction, in 2015, made her a national symbol in the debate swirling around abortion. Last week, when Donald Trump selected the Indiana governor, Mike Pence, as his partner on the Republican presidential ticket, many abortion rights groups invoked Patel's name as a cautionary tale. Trump has said women who have illegal abortions ought to face "some form of punishment". And activists had prevailed upon Pence to clarify the 2009 law used to convict her, without success.
The ruling was not a uniform victory for Patel. The court held that the state had mounted sufficient evidence to show Patel knew the infant was born alive. Patel's appeals team had challenged the integrity of the forensic test, the controversial "lung float test", that prosecutors used to argue the infant was not stillborn. But the court agreed with Patel that the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the infant could have survived. It reduced her child neglect conviction from a class A felony to a class D.
A jury convicted Patel in 2015, and in May of this year, a team of volunteer attorneys appealed against her conviction.
Prosecutors argued at trial that Patel gave birth to a 25-week-old live infant that could have survived if Patel had sought medical attention instead of abandoning the infant. Patel's attorneys, who disputed the infant's gestational age, argued the infant was stillborn, and not developed enough to survive outside the womb no matter what Patel did.
Patel's case quickly became a flashpoint in the country's heated debate over abortion access. The prosecution painted Patel as hard-hearted and calculating. Women's rights advocates countered that Indiana's numerous restrictions on abortion had prevented Patel from terminating her pregnancy in a clinic, and they fingered her trial as part of a pattern of overzealous prosecutions against women who suffer miscarriages.
Supporters of Patel argued it was a paradox that she should be charged with both feticide – the killing of a fetus that is still in the womb – and child neglect, a charge that requires the infant to have been born, and born alive.
Patel was nevertheless convicted on both counts. Judge Elizabeth Hurley sentenced Patel to serve 20 years in prison: 30 years in prison for child neglect and six years for feticide, to run concurrently, with 10 years of the neglect sentence suspended. Neither conviction carried a mandatory prison term.
Under Friday's ruling, Hurley will re-sentence Patel for a lesser charge of child neglect.
The ruling comes as a growing number of women in the US face prosecution for their behavior or actions during pregnancy. Groups such as the National Advocates for Pregnant Women have counted hundreds of cases in which prosecutors charged women with criminal offenses for having "suspicious miscarriages", using banned substances during their pregnancies, or trying to induce their own abortions.
Often, the women are charged under laws that were intended to increase the penalties for harming a pregnant woman, such as in an assault or a car accident.
A few women, like Patel, have been prosecuted under such laws for trying to induce their own abortion – even in cases where it would be legal for them to receive an abortion in a clinic. Under an expansive interpretation of fetal homicide and other laws, Jill Adams, a Berkeley Law researcher who oversees the Self-Induced Abortion Legal Team, has estimated that a woman who tries to end her own pregnancy may be violating any one of 40 different statutes.
Patel, who is unmarried, was hiding her pregnancy from her devout Hindu parents in 2013 when she purchased abortion-inducing drugs from an online pharmacy. The pills caused her to miscarry, and on 13 July Patel arrived with heavy bleeding at the St Joseph's regional medical center.
She required emergency surgery to remove the placenta. At first, Patel denied to doctors that she had been pregnant. She soon told them that she had given birth to a stillborn, which she tried to resuscitate, and placed the body in a dumpster.
Doctors at the hospital called the police. Investigators eventually found the remains, and St Joseph County prosecutors charged Patel with the two felony counts. She was arrested in late July 2013.

All About the Pterygotus Eurypterida: The Sea Scorpion
Photo: CoreyFord via Getty Images
These ancient creatures resemble swimming versions of living scorpions. The Eurypterida are an extinct Paleozoic group of chelicerate arthropods with over 200 fossil species. They were magnificent animals, though extremely rare as fossils. The largest, such as Pterygotus, could reach 2 meters or more in length, but most species were no longer than 20 cm.
Some forms, such as Mixopterus, resembled scorpions and may have even been ancestral to scorpions. There are about two dozen eurypterid families known.
The pterygotid eurypterids are classified into ecological groups based on morphology and visual acuity. The number of lenses in arthropod compound eyes and the interommatidial angle is the primary methods for determining visual acuity. Because it is low in modern active arthropod predators, the IOA is especially important because it can be used to distinguish different ecological roles in arthropods.
Pterygotus anglicus had extremely high visual acuity, as evidenced by a low IOA and many lenses in their compound eyes. Pterygotus' chelicerae were enlarged and robust, with a curved free ramus and denticles of varying lengths and sizes, all of which correspond to solid puncturing and grasping abilities in extant scorpions and crustaceans. Pterygotus' IOA values match those of high-level and active modern predatory arthropods, indicating that they were visual and functional predators.
Cheliceral claws were found on all known pterygotids. The chelicerae's first joint, where it connects to the epistoma (a plate located on the "head"), would have been capable of twisting the entire appendage. This led researchers to conclude that the chelicerae's function would not have been solely or even primarily for defence but rather to capture and convey food to the mouth.
Sea scorpions were also the only eurypterids that could travel across open oceans. The pterygotid eurypterids were the largest arthropods to ever exist. They reached total lengths of more than 8 feet (about 2.5 meters) (about 2.5 meters). With their unique and formidable claws and binocular vision that provided depth perception, the pterygotids would attack and slice into prey such as primitive fish or the ancestors of squids.
Most eurypterids are small enough to fit in your arms. However, one specimen in the Division's collections belonged to a fully grown eurypterid.
Cannibalism was common among sea scorpions, who ate any smaller members of their species they came across. They would have devoured any fish or other aquatic animals that were smaller than themselves. They had large claws with sharp teeth to grab their prey quickly. The scorpions had a firm grip and would have been able to hold even the most slippery prey.
Their morphology suggests that they ate a variety of foods. When captured, prey would need to be cut into smaller pieces to fit into the mouth; eurypterid mouths were even less adapted to devour large pieces than modern crab mouths are. Cutting, transporting, or grasping anything, were tasks for the chelicerae. This is because the eurypterid walking appendages were incapable of doing anything. According to the feeding process observed in modern arthropods with chelicerae, one claw would hold the prey. At the same time, the other cut off pieces and transported them to the mouth with continuous and simple movements.
Understanding sexual dimorphism in extinct organisms is one of many issues that paleontologists face when reconstructing organisms. The researchers are used to classify creatures according to their bones, shells, or carapaces. In some cases, the two sexes of an organism have been interpreted as two distinct species coexisting; in others, there is an insufficient difference to distinguish different sexes. Even when they can be distinguished, it is difficult to determine which is male and female.
The eurypterids are a particularly challenging example of this. As previously stated, there are two types of genital appendages found in any Eurypterid population. According to the original hypothesis, type A is the male sexual organ, with "clasping organs" on the prosomal appendages. In contrast, type B is the female part for depositing eggs and fitting neatly over the male clasper.
However, research indicates that eurypterid reproduction occurred via spermatophore (sperm package) transfer on the substrate. In this case, the type A appendage is a female who can retrieve a spermatophore for storage in her spermathecae ('horn organs'). The 'scimitar lobes' (male) are thought to be clasping structures.
Only the first sea scorpions were marine, despite their name. The majority of them resided in salty water, sheltered lagoons, etc. Many species lived in shallow aquatic environments, and some may have been amphibious, emerging onto land during their life cycle. They may have been able to breathe in both water and air.
Despite their name, sea scorpions did not live solely in the sea. The giants were only found in what is now Germany, but other subspecies were seen worldwide. Smaller sea scorpions would occasionally leave the water to shed their skins and mate. The larger types would have stayed in the water because their legs were too weak to support their bodies on the shore.
Eurypterid fossils have been found on all continents and preserved so well that their exterior structure is the best known of all extinct creatures.
New York State and southern Ontario, Canada, are currently producing excellent fossils in Silurian rock. Despite being relatively rare, the fossils are well-known for their exceptional preservation. People looking for eurypterid fossils frequently visit Ridgemount Quarry in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada.
Eurypterids are related to horseshoe crabs and sea scorpions today. There are over two dozen eurypterid families recognized.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species designated the American horseshoe crab as vulnerable in 2016 and the Japanese horseshoe crab as endangered in 2018.
The eurypterids have been dubbed "sea-scorpions" because to their long tails and spine-like appendages near the tip. They are, in reality, linked to scorpions and other arachnids.

Gage Beasley's Pterygotus Eurpyterid Arthropod Soft Stuffed Plush Toy
Pterygotid eurypterids have traditionally been considered active, high-level visual predators. However, recent research on the cheliceral morphology of the pterygotid Acutiramus contradicts this theory.
Pterygotids evolved in response to a shift in ecology from generalized feeders to specialized predators. They have a distinct morphology, but their ecology varies greatly between genera, even though some were top predators.

There has been growing demand for Wollongong office space over the past twelve months according Property Council of Australia's latest Office Market Report released today.
The vacancy rate in Wollongong's office space decreased from 11.2 per cent to 10.6 per cent indicating a healthy local economy and good prospects for local jobs.
"This is positive news for Wollongong with solid results across almost all grades of office space; a strong indicator of the growing economic might of the Illawarra," said Property Council Illawarra Regional Director, Kim Rawson.
"Wollongong is performing strongly on the national stage with a market in the top 15 in Australia and ahead of the Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin CBDs in terms of vacancy rate.
"There was net absorption of 3,608 sqm which means businesses are taking up space in Wollongong's CBD and creating local jobs. The strongest demand was recorded for A grade office space, resulting in a sharp vacancy drop of over two percentage points to 3.4 per cent.
"This overall increase in demand indicates a positive trend observed in recent years, and is testament to the success of public and private sector investment in rejuvenating the Wollongong City Centre.
"With the new Western Sydney Airport and stronger connections to south west Sydney, the Illawarra is building momentum towards a strong future.
"We need to build on this growth and drive infrastructure and policy changes to continue this momentum and unlock the region's potential. Issues of improved transport infrastructure, housing affordability and creating local job opportunities are central to this," stated Ms Rawson.
