After the Chamber: Lords and Ladies is a Harry Potter Fan Fic that, like Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji and Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion, is a mix of Alternate Universe Fic and Rational Fic written by SeerKing.
Harry has just recently defeated the Basilisk dwelling within the chamber along with Riddle's Diary and is reading a book when he is summoned to Gringotts. Upon arrival, he learns from the Goblin leader that he has taken Voldemort's title of Lord Slytherin and invoked the aegis of the Bloodline Legacy Continuation Act on himself in the process. Harry must now be engaged to at least three witches before his seventeenth birthday and then marry them before he turns twenty-one or the Wizengamot will assign him wives. He's not happy about this, but it's become apparent that Harry will never have a normal life...
This work contains examples of:
Badass Bookworm: Hermione as in canon. Harry is shaping himself to become one because he deeply regrets how just having the right bit of common knowledge would have allowed him to solve the plot of the second book at lot faster and with fewer victims, especially because of everything Ginny had to go through.
Beware the Nice Ones: To her brothers' horror, Ginny Weasley has a natural aptitude for curses and spells that result in humiliating effects, which they discovered the hard way after Harry taught her several of them.
Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: If Harry isn't engaged to three women by his seventeenth birthday, the Wizengamot will assign him brides to their own discretion, which is A Very Bad Thing.
Rockclaw: As most of the Wizengamot are of the old, Pureblood families, it is doubtless that some of them are former Voldemort supporters, meaning you will have to be on guard day and night for fear of assassinations, mind control and manipulations.
Harry: So, you're basically telling me that either I choose my wives myself or I'll be marrying a nest of snakes?
Rockclaw: Almost certainly, Mr Potter.
Clear Their Name: One of the few good things that came out of Harry's Lordship status is that it allows him to be treated as an adult in certain legal matters, like testifying under Veritaserum in court. He took advantage of this and of everything The Diary showed him to get Hagrid a fair retrial and exonerate him from Tom Riddle's crimes.
Harry: Anyway, do you fancy getting your new wand, Hagrid?
Hagrid: [grins] Been waitin' for this fer fifty years.
Contrived Coincidence: The story's premise. Harry's troubles are the result how two ancient laws interacted in a way no one alive expected to. Actually, if it weren't for the fact that they are magically and automatically enforced, nobody would have ever realized that Harry was legally required to marry several women in the first place.
Curse Escape Clause: Daphne Greengrass' Bipolar Mind Curse can only be broken if someone falls in love with her, without knowledge of the spell, and loved both personalities equally. Her father bitterly guessed that whoever created the curse was either an utter sadist or hopeless romantic.
Deliberate Values Dissonance: A major source of conflict stems from the sheer difference between Wizarding Culture and Muggle culture, especially considering the fact that Harry is now legally required to perform polygamy in order to provide an heir for each of the three houses he is Lord of. What makes this more egregious is that the law is magically set in stone and cannot be broken or changed.
The Dreaded: Voldemort, as usual.
Engagement Challenge: To complicate matters, Harry can't just pick anyone to be one of his brides because each of the Houses he's Lord of has its own and often outdated engagement criteria. The Potter Family is both the simplest and most difficult of the three: Harry must be in love with his bride. There are several in the House of Peverell: the witch in question must be magically powerful, at least of an Ancient House, and not to have "unsightly blemishes upon her countenance" (really). The Slytherin House demands Harry's future wife to be Pureblood and a virgin until her wedding night.
Epic Fail: Draco Malfoy summons a snake to attack Harry, who simply steps aside and asks it to leave. Harry then sends Draco an incredulous/pitying look that just screams "Did you really just try that on the guy you know can speak Parseltongue?"
Fun with Acronyms:
Defense Against Dark Arts is often abbreviated as "DADA."
The Bloodline Legacy Continuation Act or B.L.C.A., i.e. the magical law forcing Harry to be polygamist, is officially nicknamed as the "Blica."
Hope Spot: Hermione has an Eureka Moment about how the Bloodline Legacy Continuation Act is about preserving bloodlines and Harry's only Lord of the Slytherin House after accidentally earning the title by combat, meaning that the B.L.C.A. shouldn't apply to him and thus no forced polygamous marriage is required. She soon discovers that there's a particular (and seemly unfulfillable at the present) amendment in the B.L.C.A. that treats even nominal heirs of one of the Four Founders of Hogwarts as a special cases and explicitly place them within the purview of the statute. The latter realization felt like a punch in gut for her.
Ice Queen: Daphne Greengrass is a Justified example due to a curse that took that facet of her personality and magically empowered it to Split Personality levels. She shifts from one to the other at random times only preceded by a distinctive searing headache, but she has to keep the Ice Queen act up even when her normal personality is in control because she wants to keep people at Hogwarts from finding it out.
Kingmaker Scenario: Depending on their prominence, a noble House earns a number of seats in the Wizengamot — which "acts as both the governing Legislature of the Ministry of Magic and the Highest Judicial Court in Wizarding Britain" — and the representative of the Family gets an equal number of votes in every of the Wizengamot's decisions. Being the Heir of several Houses, plus the extra voting power that several now-extinct Families assigned to Charlus Potter in the eventually of their destruction, Harry will get the right to cast whooping fifteen votes when he comes of age. That many votes in one person's hands could make or break any piece of legislation in the Wizengamot, and thus making Harry a prime target of manipulation and schmoozing for every back-stabbing politician in the country.
Polyamory: Legally enforced because of the Bloodline Legacy Continuation Act, a magical law designed to keep old wizarding bloodlines from dying out that requires the last male heir of three or more Houses to take multiple wives and pass down each family name to his children with each of them. It's noted that this law has rarely been activated in the last couple of centuries, to the point most people don't know it even exists, but the death of so many wizards during the war with Voldemort increased the probability of happening by several orders of magnitude and, for the better or worse, defeating ridiculous chances is kind of Harry's thing.
Split Personality: Daphne Greengrass. See Ice Queen above for details.
Split-Personality Takeover: Daphne's biggest fear, as her encounter with a Boggart shaped as herself proved. Professor Lupin misinterpreted this as a social anxiety issue, thinking that she's afraid of getting stuck in her Ice Queen act and keeping people at arm's length.
Weirdness Magnet: Harry. How else can one explain the sheer coincidence with the fic's whole scenario?
We Used to Be Friends. Hermione is afraid that this could happen between her and Harry. This is because the B.L.C.A. on top of the traditions of the Houses of Peverell and Slytherin require Harry to marry at least two Pureblood witches, making it an effective necessity for him to start hanging out with the elitist crowd in Hogwarts in hopes of finding his future bride(s) there. The problem is that this is exactly the kind of people who often discriminate against Muggleborns like Hermione herself and Harry could be forced to distance himself from her in order to cultivate his new friendships.
Wizarding School: Hogwarts, as per canon.

strangelove has pro models?!?
Yes. Yes we do. Both Timothy Johnson and Max Murphy now have pro model boards in our lineup—finally. You see, from day one of StrangeLove this has always been my goal, and I couldn't be happier with these two guys for making what may in fact have been a lifelong fantasy a very stoked reality.
I first met Timmy and Max back in January 2020, when we were all air dropped onto the streets of San Francisco wearing fuzzy pink shoes to spend five days filming for our Valentine's Day shoe release on Nike SB that February. I didn't know anything about them (both came aboard courtesy of our team manager Rob Sissi's efforts), they didn't know anything about me (aside from the usual graphic stuff), but we all got along great and I adjectively loved the creative energy and enthusiasm they brought to the streets each and every day of our stay in SF. They were precisely the kind of skaters I wanted on the StrangeLove team… the kind who just make skateboarding fun and enjoyable (and, in Tim's particular case, could walk away from a horrific flip straight onto his back with a smile still on his face—a feat alone which spoke volumes to me).
Best of all, though, they're straight out of the Midwest and well respected stalwarts of their respective scenes—Tim from Chicago, IL, Max from Milwaukee, WI—which more or less brings my own skateboarding trip there and back again, geographically speaking, as I first started skating in the bare-boned central sticks of Wisconsin, circa 1986. And I know I've said it before, but you can bet your damn ass I'm gonna say it again and again: It really does take a special kind of diehard soul to live, thrive, and survive as a skateboarder throughout the seasonal years of the Midwest, and those that do manage to persevere genuinely love skateboarding for life—and that's Timmy and Max to an absolute tee.
This weekend, Uprise Skate Shop in Chicago will be hosting a board release event for Timmy this Saturday, December 3, from 4–7pm, while Sky High in Milwaukee will have boards and prints available at the shop during regular business hours on Saturday with a formal party held for Max on Sunday, December 4, at the Cactus Club starting at 6pm. So if you're in either of their Midwestern vicinities, please stop by and make the most of these days for them. Congratulations, Timmy and Max. We're all super proud to have you guys representing the brand and stoked to be supporting what you do best: skate. —Sean Cliver
No pesky or too-clever-for-my-own-good footnotes this word-go-round, but I do have a brand-spanking-new edit of Max to share with footage compiled by his friends in Milwaukee. Extra special thanks to Josh Ellis for bringing it all to the finish line just in the nick of pro debut time for a spot in Thrasher's video junk drawer!

I expect that https://<ipaddress>:8443/management is accessible, however it keeps redirectin to https://<ipaddress>:8443/dashboard/#/apps

A: This is a limitation (by design) of having UI and RestEndpoints under the same root. Therefore, if you hit the server with a browser, we by default serve the UI and redirect to /dashboard
If you use command-line tools such as curl, the JSON REST response is served, e.g.:
curl -X GET -k -i https://localhost:8443/management -u user:secret_password

When using a browser, I would recommend using Postman (Chrome) or RESTClient (Firefox).

An executory promise, also known as an executory contract, takes place when two parties agree to a certain set of terms and conditions that are to be fulfilled at some point in the future. Within the contract are stipulations outlining the duties that must be performed by the parties in order for the promise to be considered fully executed. Many times, an executory promise is made between a debtor and the party from the whom the entity is borrowing money from.
An executory promise in the form of rental lease takes place when a tenant agrees to pay a landlord a set amount of money each month according to certain dates. In return for the rental money, the landlord provides the renter a space to live.
When an executory promise is in the form of a car loan, this means a lender lends money to a person to purchase a car. In agreement to provide the money, the borrower agrees to pay back the borrowed funds according to certain dates.
An equipment lease is an example of an executory promise when a borrower pays money for equipment. The equipment is not under the ownership of the renter. Instead, it stays under the ownership of the equipment provider in exchange for money. When the lease is over, the equipment is returned. In some cases, the equipment lender will allow the renter to purchase the equipment outright with the rental payments going toward the purchase price.
A car lease is much like a car loan except that the debtor never actually owns the car. Instead, the person leasing the vehicle maintains ownership of the car. Like an equipment lease, the entity leasing the car may allow the renter to purchase the car once the lease is over.
A development contract is put into place when it is agreed by both parties that certain monies will be paid out when certain construction milestones are completed. When the structural part of the building, for example, has been completed, a set amount of money will be paid to the developer and then no more money will be paid until the next milestone has been completed.
What Is an Executory Consideration?
An executory consideration takes place when an entity makes a promise to another entity and that entity does the same. Take for example a person promises to lend money to a person to purchase a car at a later date as long as the receiving party promises to pay back the borrowed funds. Although the funds have not exchanged hands yet, the promises between both parties can still be made legally official with an executory consideration.
Understanding the Difference Between an Executed Contract and an Executory Contract?
When a person takes part in an executed contract, this means that the terms of the contract must be fulfilled immediately after all parties have signed in agreement to the terms. This is unlike an executory promise because the terms are to be fulfilled at some time in the future. Still yet, once all parties sign an executed contract or executory contract, both are considered to be executed agreements. No matter the type of contract signed, once signed, all parties are legally obligated to fill their promises made to each other.
Before a person signs an executory promise, it is very important that all parts of the contract be thoroughly read through. Because many contracts tend to include legal jargon that can be extremely confusing and difficult to understand, it is typically in the best interest of all parties involved to have the agreement explained by a qualified attorney.
In the event that either party does not fulfill their promises to one another that are agreed upon in an executory promise, this means the contract has been breached and there is generally some type of consequence that will occur.
Take for example a person borrows money from a lender for a car but fails to make an agreed-upon payment. As a result, the lender has the right to take back possession of the car. The exact consequences of breaching an executory promise will be outlined in the contract itself.

Since ancient times, civilizations from China to Greece have stressed the importance and role of teachers in one's life. Indeed, in India, the teacher is considered akin to, and in some cases, even above, the gods. Even in the twenty-first century, their contributions and standing in society have not waned. But confronted with a plethora of educators, we often ask ourselves the question: What makes a good teacher? Each of us has a different interpretation of the question and a different answer. But most of us would agree upon certain attributes as being synonymous with the word 'teacher' itself. I have taken the trouble to list some of them.

It is given that the teacher is and should be a domain expert but a good teacher has the additional quality of having a peripheral knowledge of various other domains and real life situations so that the he/she is able to add trivia and make a real life connect to what is being taught in the classroom. It is this ability to surprise a student with the added information that makes the classroom learning interesting and the teacher engaging.
2. The teacher's teaching style and personality should be interesting as well. Teachers who explain concepts through stories and share anecdotes from their own experiences are infinitely more effective than those who stick to the book. Some teachers have the habit of being a student themselves. They are always willing to be updated by students and learn from them.
3. Teachers who interact with their students on a personal level and sharing their interests and hobbies automatically become more approachable and easier to connect with, which eventually makes teaching & learning easier. Some teachers are able to teach in a way which involves the entire class and cater to each student's learning style.
4. It also matters how the teacher defines teaching or education. An ideal teacher would encourage students to ask questions, and ask 'why not?' Along with asking 'why?'. Furthermore, a good teacher would not be exasperated or irritated by such questions, but instead consider it a part of their job, or even better, a pleasure and an exciting challenge to answer their students' queries.
And while no human being can claim to be perfect, a good teacher, above all others, would be patient and composed. As the teacher is not merely an educator but a role model, mentor, friend, guide and much more who inspires confidence and encourages the students to strive for greatness.


The events will unfold at Adishakti, in association with the Sri Aurobindo Society and Palais de Mahé, in collaboration with People for Pondicherry Heritage.
The festival will open at Adishakti Theatre at Edayanchavadi Road at 5 p.m. shortly followed by a session with playwright Anju Makhija in conversation with Anu Majumdar, poet and author of Auroville: A City Of The Future.
Following the launch, 19 poets from throughout the country will read their work through the evening. Entry to the event is free.
According to Gayatri Majumdar, poet-writer and founder-editor of The Brown Critique, a critically acclaimed literary journal, apart from launches of seven books, the festival over its packed three-day celebration of literature will mark Subramania Bharati's 137th birth anniversary on December 11, with readings of his poems by Pondicherry University students and poet Palanisamy Sundararasu.
Also on the schedule are a recitation of Sri Aurobindo's poems and reading of Kabir's work translated by Sehdev Kumar, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies at the University of Waterloo, Canada, known for his translation of Kabir's verses from his book The Vision Of Kabir: Live Poems Of A 15th-century Weaver-Sage.
Murali Sivaramakrishnan, poet, painter, professor, and former Chair of English, Pondicherry University, and Shruti Bidwaikar, assistant director of Sri Aurobindo Centre for Advanced Research (SACAR), will give talks on the poetry of Sri Aurobindo at the Society Hall in Sri Aurobindo Society on the occasion. Arjita Chowdhury will sing devotional songs to mark the day.
The line-up of some other poets participating in the event include Menka Sivdasani, whose collection of poetry Frazil was brought out by Paperwall Media recently; Rita Nath Keshari, associate professor of English, Tagore Arts College in Pondicherry; award-winning poet Vinita Agarwal from Mumbai, who released her book of poems Two Full Moons recently; and Anjali Purohit, who is the founder and curator of The Cappuccino Adda (formerly Cappuccino Readings), an initiative aimed at promoting a literary cafe culture in Mumbai and whose book, Go Talk To The River: The Ovis Of Bahinabai Choudhari was also published recently.

A couple of workshops The Mask Speaks by American poet Joan Dobbie and another on Haiku/Haibun by Pune-based poet Kala Ramesh will be conducted at AURA Shoppe on December 10 and 11. The organizers recommend prior registration for both.
The Pondicherry Poets was founded in 2017 by Sahitya Akademi awardee poet-playwright Anju Makhija and Ms. Gayatri Majumdar, aiming to create a platform for poets to share their work at various offbeat venues in Puducherry, Auroville and elsewhere. This is also the first poetry festival brought about by their collaboration in the city.

Isradipine (also known as DynaCirc or Prescal) is a calcium channel blocker within dihydropyridine (DHP) class that can be used for treating high blood pressure and essential hypertension. There are at least 5 different types of calcium channels in human which are L-, N-, P/Q-, R- and T-type. Isradipine only targets the L-type that mediate muscle cell contraction by binding for stabilizing their inactive conformation. Inactivated calcium channel are more frequent in smooth muscle cells because of longer depolarizations. This pathway demonstrates the binding of isradipine on arterial smooth muscle cells inhibits the influx of calcium ions, which lead to decreased arterial smooth muscle contractility and subsequent vasoconstriction. Calcium ion enters the cell and bind to calmodulin, and then calcium-bound calmodulin binds and activates myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). Activated myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) can phosphorylate subunit of myosin, which is an important step for muscle contraction. Therefore, binding and inhibiting of calcium channels can lead to inhibition of influx of calcium that result in decreased contractile activity (vasodilation). Vasodilatory effects can reduced the blood pressure.

Medal of Honor: Gold or Brass?
By John Martin
W A S H I N G T O N, Feb. 5, 2004 -- How much is a hero worth? One of the nation's most revered medals costs barely $30 to produce; one of its least-known costs $30,000.
Sixteen lawmakers in Washington have decided to balance the books by sponsoring a bill to upgrade the Congressional Medal of Honor.
An inquiry by The Washington Times showed that the Congressional Medal of Honor, awarded for exceptional wartime combat gallantry, costs $29.98 to produce and is made mostly of brass alloy.
"Mine doesn't look good anymore," said Finnis McCleery, 74, of San Angelo, Texas. "It's tarnished and dirty." McCleery, who was awarded the CMH for action on May 14, 1968 in Vietnam, said he would favor an effort to dress up the medal. "I think it's a fine idea."
A bill introduced a year ago by Rep. Joe Baca, a California Democrat, would require that the medal be produced with 90 percent gold content, the same composition as the lesser-known Congressional Gold Medal.
Each version of that medal, awarded to such dignitaries as former South African president Nelson Mandela and the late movie star John Wayne, costs $30,000, according to Baca's staff.
But not every one of the Congressional Medal of Honor winners thinks the upgrade is a good idea.
'It's the Symbol'
"Not really," said George Wahlen of Roy, Utah, who won his medal as a Navy medical corpsman serving with the Marines on Iwo Jima in World War II. "It's the symbol of the thing that's important," he told ABCNEWS, "whether it cost $50 or $500."
Combat veteran Einar Ingman, 72, of Irma, Wisc., said an upgrade in materials and value "doesn't make any sense. I'd rather see an increase in our pensions."
Ingman won his Medal of Honor for action in Korea on Feb. 6, 1951, when he ignored a commander's concern for his wounds and stormed a hilltop, knocking out enemy gun positions and retaking the hill.
Another winner who would prefer a larger pension is McClerry, a Texas grandfather whose grandson is suffering medical problems and whose granddaughter is raising three children without a husband.
More pension money "would be better for each individual," said McClerry of his fellow medal winners. "I know I could use some more money."

Air Products' Materials Technologies segment today announced that, effective immediately or as contracts permit, it will increase prices globally for process materials and advanced materials supplied by its Electronics business.
Demand for Electronics materials continues to grow. These price increases are necessary to recover increasing raw materials, production costs, and continued supply reliability, quality improvements and research and development activities in order to support reinvestment to meet global market needs.
On September 16, 2015 Air Products announced its intent to complete a spin-off of its Materials Technologies segment by September 2016. Last month it was announced the spin-off company's name will be Versum Materials.

More info on Das Dritte Reich
Das Dritte Reich: Map
Categories: German books > 1923 books
Das Dritte Reich ("The Third Reich") is a 1923 book by German author Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, the ideology of which heavily informed the Nazi party. The book formulated an "ideal" of national empowerment, which resounded throughout a Germany desperate to rebound from the Treaty of Versailles: Das Dritte Reich was Germany's Third Rome.
For Moeller van den Bruck, Germany's great misfortune lies in the political system created by the Weimar Republic , one of competitive parties and liberal ideologies. An admirer of Mussolini, he looks for a strong leader.
His Reich is not so much state in the sense that term is usually understood: it is the ideal condition, the only way in which the scattered German people can achieve a common purpose and destiny. But he does not look for the limited state, the Second Reich fashioned by Bismarck was an imperfect empire. It did not include Austria which survived on from "our First Empire", side by side with "our Second Empire". Our Second Empire was a Little-German Empire which we must consider only as a stepping stone on our path to a Greater German Empire."
The weak Weimar Republic, he argues, will have to be replaced by a new revolution, a revolution from the right. He looks also for a new political movement that will embrace both socialism and nationalism, a unique form of German Fascism. He takes all of his philosophical cues from the work of Nietzsche "who stands at the opposite pole of thought from Marx." The one contemporary politician he admires above all others is Benito Mussolini.
The temptation is to see this difficult little book as an advocate for what was to come; but this gap between the ideal vision and the historical truth is virtually unbridgeable. On the eve of publication Moeller van den Bruck inserted a preface, in which he wrote that "The Third Reich is a philosophical idea not for this but for the next world. Germany might perish because of the Third Reich dream." He believes Germany needs an Übermensch (Superman) in the fashion described by Nietzsche, but that Superman is not Adolf Hitler.
Soon after the collapse of the Munich Putsch he wrote: "There are many things that can be said against Hitler, and I have sometimes said them. But one thing you have to give him credit for: he is a fanatic for Germany. But he is wrecked by his proletarian primitive ways. He does not know how to give an intellectual basis to his Nazi party. Hitler is all passion, but lacks sense or proportion. A heroic tenor, not a hero." Hitler, in other words, was not Mussolini. These were the last words he ever wrote before his suicide in 1925.

We've updated our handbook on Preventing Prevent. Download it now to plan your campaign against Prevent.
Download our updated Preventing Prevent handbook now.
Ahead of the Students not Suspects tour kicking off at University College London tonight, the Black Students' Campaign is proud to relaunch our Preventing Prevent handbook, a comprehensive resource for students' unions, officers and organisers to deconstruct and campaign against the government's racist and repressive counter-terrorism strategy.
This a fully revised and expanded edition of the Preventing Prevent handbook first launched in 2015 by the Black Students' Campaign, reflecting recent changes in legislation, case studies from student-led campaigns and movement knowledge built up from anti-Prevent campaigns over the last two years, as well as a new section exploring how Prevent impacts Muslim women and advice for student sabbatical officers.
I hope this handbook proves to be an invaluable tool for all of us who are concerned about the Prevent duty, how it manifests on campus and impacts our students. It breaks down complex legislation, explaining how it is interpreted by institutions and opportunities students' unions have to challenge and intervene in these processes, as well as providing guidance on building a sustainable anti-Prevent campaign and developing an effective campaign strategy.
As we speak, the government is marketing Prevent internationally - exporting its failed strategy to states across the world. Through our work here, we truly have the potential to turn the tide, globally.
The strength of our movement is – and always has been - in local campaigns, with students, educators and workers united in principled coalitions. Innovative and powerful organising against Prevent on the ground is where the national campaign draws its power, and through which the narrative will continue to shift.
The impact of Prevent on Muslim students and communities cannot be underestimated but is just one of ways Muslims are discriminated against and targeted in the UK. During Islamophobia Awareness month we are running a series of activities to shine a light on these multiple oppressions and how we can tackle them. We have launched the Muslim students' survey to capture the experiences of Muslim students and sabbatical officers in our movement, we will be holding panel discussions and workshops as part of our national Students not Suspects tour, NUS Women's Campaign has also embarked on a national Gendered Islamophobia tour and is organising the Muslim Women in Leadership conference to develop a new generation of leaders in the student movement. There are so many more things you can do to mark Islamophobia Awareness Month, please join us and support our work to fight racial injustice and anti-Muslim hate.

Is Adobe's future linked to stock climbing to record high?
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) stock soared to a record high of $309.32 on Wednesday as the software solutions provider will be benefited by the continued growth in Digital Media and Digital Experience. Investors believe that Digital Media remained the company's current business growth opportunity while Digital Experience could be the future of Adobe.
As part of the Digital Media strategy, the company expects Creative Cloud to drive sustained long-term revenue growth through the continued expansion of its customer base by acquiring new users in North America and international markets.
Adobe plans to build out a data-driven operating model to market the benefits of its Document Cloud solutions, combined with the low entry point of subscription-based pricing. The company intends to continue promoting the capabilities of its cloud-based document solutions and Adobe Sensei features to Acrobat and Acrobat Reader users.
CREDIT: Adobe Systems
The company will continue to engage in strategic partnerships to help drive the enterprise business, including its partnership with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). Adobe has made significant investments to broaden the scale and size of routes to the market and believes these investments will result in continued growth in revenue in its Digital Experience segment in fiscal 2019 and beyond.
In the recently completed second-quarter, Adobe has a total debt of $4.13 billion with $3.15 billion remained the current portion and the long term debt stood at $988 million. In contrast, the company has sufficient cash and short-term investments of $3.47 billion.
It is expected that the total liabilities of $9.7 billion don't pose much threat given the company's immense market cap of $148.82 billion. The total debt-to-equity ratio is at 0.42 and this means the company is not aggressive in financing its growth with debt. But, Adobe could be beneficial by the higher return on equity that comes with the use of debt despite the risky part.
Also read: Nio deliveries rise in June
The competition with rivals remained positive for Adobe, whose capabilities remained unmatched by any company's offerings. Major competitors included Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK), Avid Technology (NASDAQ: AVID), Microsoft, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), IBM (NYSE: IBM), Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and others.
Shares of Adobe opened higher on Wednesday and is trading in the green territory on the Nasdaq. The stock has risen over 22% in the past year and over 13% in the past three months. The 50-day moving average stood at $284.47 while the 200-day moving average remained at $265.16.

Q: Eclipse doesn't recognize 'default' keyword I am trying to make a simple Interpreter for Java.
Out teacher gave us a code to modify to reach our goal, but Eclipse doesn't like the keyword 'default'

The error is "Syntax error on token "default", delete this token"
I think it depends from my JDK version of java, this is what i am using

What should i modify?
Edit: i have Java 8 installed, but Eclipse doesn't allow me to change my compilance level over 1.7

A: Interface Default Methods introdced only in Java 8
Download jdk 8 and use it in Eclipse
Download

A: This is because you are using JRE JavaSE-1.7:

This JRE isis prior to Java 8, where default keyword has been introduced for defining default implementations of interface methods.
Switch JRE version to 1.8 to fix this problem.

A: Basically you just can not use/define an default method, because those are available since java 8 (and your project is using java7)... so you need to move the project to java8.
Oracle can help you, check this here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8-whats-new-2157071.html
is the What's New in JDK 8 part, 3rd element in the list....

*

*Default methods enable new functionality to be added to the interfaces of libraries and ensure binary compatibility with code written for older versions of those interfaces.

Q: How do I fix this problem with multiplying two matrices? I am trying to multiply two matrices, the two matrices are read rom a text file, which is why the values of the matrices are not initialized. This is the code:
int main() {
    ...
    else if (multiplication == true){
        if (columnsA == rowsB && rowsA == columnsB){
            for(int i = 0; i < rowsA; i++){
                for(int j = 0; j < columnsB + 1; j++){
                    for(int k = 0; k < columnsA; k++){
                        C[i][j] = C[i][j] + A[i][k] * B[k][j];
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        else{
            printf("\nError: The number of columns in Matrix A must be equal to the number of rows in Matrix B for multiplication");
            return 1;
        }
    }
    ...

return 0;
}

A is the first matrix, B is the second matrix and C is the output. rowsA is the number of rows in matrix A and columns B is the number of columns in matrixB.
The code works for the first numbers in the ouput matrix, but the last number always ends up being a very long random number.
For example the input will be a 2x2 matrix with the following values:
Row 1: 3 1
Row 2: 5 2
and another 2x2 matrix with the following values
row 1: 4 1
row 2: 2 6

The output comes out as
row 1: 14 9
row 2: 24 -374793898(or some other long, random number)

The first three number are correct (I checked) but the last one is never right.

A:    else if (multiplication == true){
        if (columnsA == rowsB && rowsA == columnsB){
            for(int i = 0; i < rowsA; i++){
                for(int j = 0; j < columnsB + 1; j++){
                    for(int k = 0; k < columnsA; k++){
                        C[i][j] = C[i][j] + A[i][k] * B[k][j];
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Your multiplication code reads the values from the matrices C, A and B. Matrices A and B are read from file, however you forgot to initialize the matrix C with zeros (i.e., int C[5][5] = {0};). Otherwise, matrix C will contain random values. And those random values will be added to the matrices A and B during the operation  C[i][j] = C[i][j] + A[i][k] * B[k][j];.
Moreover, change columnsB + 1 to columnsB, in for(int j = 0; j < columnsB + 1; j++). Otherwise, you are going out of the boundaries of the matrix C and B, marked in the following code with "^":
 for(int j = 0; j < columnsB + 1; j++)
    for(int k = 0; k < columnsA; k++)
        C[i][j] = C[i][j] + A[i][k] * B[k][j];
                      ^^^                 ^^^

A: I think you should do this,
Initialize the c[5][5] with 0.

A: I think the root cause is this line
for(int j = 0; j < columnsB + 1; j++){

The +1 makes you go outside the 5x5 matrix
Also you really need to initialize the C matrix to 0.
