Trigger watched as the new figure took form in the back, as if he was extracted from the known as Teto. After the separation was complete, both Rain, and this man, seemed to be quite fatigued from the extraction. He could only look with little amazement, as he heard Alabaster say, "Amazing..." Trigger was new to some of this, but he knew he could ask his light for further information.
"It would seem as though we have a creator in the group. Creators are a special race which can separate someone's inner conciousness(es) and allow them to take on a physical form." The light within him spoke. Trigger nodded mentally as he continued to wait for a response.
"I agree with Trigger." Kaylaa spoke up, as if she wasn't paying much attention to the new figure. Now that Trigger thought about it, she had been watching him the whole time, save for only the rare glance to the black wolf known as Adn. Trigger, though he wasn't really surprised, nodded at Kaylaa, glad to have one person to agree with his motives.
"I agree with you're plan, muchly so..." Alabaster spoke up shortly after, catching Trigger slightly off guard, "But I believe we should rest for a little while before we stalk out to find Raelin..." Trigger, glad to have a second person willing to help out, nodded in agreement. Alabaster was also right, some of the group can still be exhausted from the fight in Kakariko. If they were getting into the castle, the battle could be much larger and plenty more fierce than before, and the group had to be ready for Vaati as well.
Thunder roared from the far off distance outside the cave, as the rain continued to pour heavily across Hyrule.

A great dark cloud has covered the sky from sight. There is no sun; only rain.
Sorry. I wasn't really thinking at the time. It was about midnight (in Australia) when I wrote that and I was half asleep.

((Okay, they've slept.))
Rain pushed himself up and strectched his small body, yawning widely. Regaining his posture, he felt his eyes water a little and the damp set in around them all in the cave. The clouds were still thick and full and the rain fell heavily upon the field outside and thunder rumbled with lightning rattling the air from somewhere far out of sight. Alabaster, Teto and Trigger were all still awake, and Subae was curled up near to where Alabaster had rested, most likely he had been talking to him. Rain got up, Esme leaned back against the wall, she had her arms crossed, her head down and her face pouty as ever. Rain smirked and got up, Esme slipped a little on the wall, losing a little support that Rain's being there had supplied. He nudged her back into place with his nose and walked slowly over to the group, talking around the burnt out fire.
"First things first," Rain heard Trigger explain "we need to find Raelin, wherever she might be. We'll need her knowledge to get into the castle and maybe manouver ourselves through the castle to find Vaati. I faced his second in command before and found that she was a challenge by herself. I can't imagine how this battle will play out, but I'm sure we can pull it off. We just need to clear our path and watch each other's backs. I'll face Vaati and you keep me protected while I take him on." Teto and Alabaster nodded. They had the plan altogether and ready. All they needed now was to put the pieces into place.
Kaylaa awoke, shortly followed by Adn and Dmi. Esme's eyes shook open and Subae was soon to follow. They were all together and ready for the battle. They just needed Raelin; their key to success.
Trigger was glad that everyone, including the tiger known as Subae, wanted to aid him in any way they can. Trigger now knew that he can't hold back anything when he fights Vaati alone. The group agreed to this; they would fight any Furani troops while he dealt with Vaati. The only thing left to do now was to find the location of Raelin, and hopefully she knows about a secret passageway leading back into the castle.
Trigger watched as each person awoke, only Teto and Alabaster wide awake with him. He stood up again after he saw that everyone was awake, prepped for combat. Soon, each person, one by one, rose to their feet as well, each one ready for the final battle. Trigger nodded as he examined the Triforce on the back of his hand, only a little brighter than wen he last checked on it. That would mean that Raelin was moving, though very slowly, closer to their location.
He took one glance back at the group, before saying, "It seems you all slept well. But now's the time to begin our search for Raelin to what may seem like our final battle. When we are able to get in the castle, we should watch each other's backs. When we do encounter Vaati, I have a feeling that he won't be alone, so I ask you to help take out his followers while I take him on. As soon as all his minions have been defeated, try your best to help me defeat him." Trigger looked across the room, before closing his eyes momentarily.
"I'm not exactly sure what the outcome will be, and I certainly don't know if everyone's going to live after this. But I have a strong feeling that everyone will be alright, though the most we can see are a few wounds. We have to make the most of what we've got, the archers and spell casters should probably stay in the back, while swordsmen and other melee fighters are in the front during the attack." Trigger spoke, as he opened his eyes again. Trigger was listening what his light was telling him, and he was expressing what was told to him.
He soon decided that was enough speech, and with that, he motioned for everyon to follow him. The rain fell at a heavy pace outside, but that didn't stop the glow of the Triforce to be seen by the others. Trigger looked down the canyon, after stepping out of the cave with his companions, not seeing anything that could pose a threat to them. But, not wanting to take any chances, he unsheathed his sword and kept it to his side, as he and the group traversed down the path, in search for Raelin.

Thanks Rain, I've fixed the post. No more sun.

Esme stretched, almost cat-like, with a yawn. She looked about the room, and the remberance soon came back to her. Yes, these people were going to help. Then, her bright eyes fell on Subae and she gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowed, but they quickly snapped over to Teto. He was alright, so that was all that mattered, right? She nodded, answering her own quistion. SHe continued to look about, Rain was fine aswell, everyone seemed fine. Though, she was certain some of them didn't need to be worried about.
Raelin Raelin Raelin Raelin! Esme was sick of hearing that name. Raelin this, and Raelin that. Sick sick sick!
"WHY do we need her again?" She spoke after Trigger talked some straticial crap she didn't care for. She stood, her hands on the back of her hips, and she stretched again. Alabaster's lips parted and he started to speak, but Esme held her hand out, and pointed at him. A threat? He said nothing, and advoided eye contact with her. "I've snuck into that castle once before, I'm certain I can do it again...." She crossed her arms, and looked over at Teto, possibly for approvel, or, perhaps something else..
Teto looked up at Esme, who seemed to be looking at him for almost no reason at all. "Well, that's true, Esme. But we need to know for sure where we're going to come out. We know that sneaking into the castle is possible without Raelin, but we need to know where we;re going to come out... That's the problem here." Teto spoke simply. Esme seemed a little beaten down, putting on a pout, sighing and sitting down next to Alabaster. Trigger looked at her and then to Teto.
"Where should we seacrh first? It doesn't seem like we have much time to spare. We need to find her, get into the castle, and take out Vaati as soon as possible." he spoke confidently. Everybody else seemed to agree silently, and others' views seemed unclear. What was clear, however, was that they were all on the same side. "Okay. We should eat and discuss where to start out search."
Rain sat and watched the discussion bubble. He looked over to Subae, who also sat in silence. He remembered him from before. He had helped him when he was hurt during the battle of Kakariko. His hero somewhat. He owed him for that. Rain stood up and walked over to Subae's side, sitting down on his right. Subae caught his eye and looked away.
"Your leg wound alright?" Subae asked, not making eye contact.
Rain looked at Subae for a moment. "Yes. It's perfect. Thanks for that by the way, Subae." Subae nodded. "My name is Rain by the way."
Subae turned and looked Rain in the eyes, "Nice to meet you Rain." he said simply. Rain searched his hollow-looking eyes as they turned away and back to the bubble of conversation around the burnt-out fire.

"Is this accursed rain every going to stop....?" Raelin said numbly to herself as she trudged on. Her steps had become smaller, slower, and less determined. She had been searching for hours for the assassin, and was now convinced that he had gone too far for her to ever find him. Indeed,t eh rain seemed hell-bent on keeping Raelin from finding her way. She didn't know where she was; how far had she gone from Kakariko now? Was she anywhere near Castle Town, or had she been wandering in circles?
Even the sound of the rain had become mind-numbing. It was all she had been hearing for the past several hours, never ceasing. It was like having a swarm of bees hovering beside your ears. There was no change, no other sound at all.
Until she heard the unsheathing of a blade directly behind her.
Shocked, Raelin spun around, her mud-covered cloak swirling with her. She saw the silouhette through the rain, and she panicked. Slipping in the mud and stumbling, she fell back several paces, but she saw the shadow move with the silence and grace of a cat. It had to be the assassin. He's been following me this whole time..?!?! her mind screamed.
Desperately, she tried to run, but slipping a second time, she fell and slid down a slick, grassy hill. Coming to a stop at the bottom, she tried to stand, but the assassin was already there, ready for her. With one booted foot, he pushed her back down to the ground. She squinted as the rain fell into her eyes as she lay on her back, the assassin standing over her with his blade drawn.
He looked down at her and, pressing the edge of the sword against her throat, said, "Who are you?"

Esme stated blankly at Teto for a second, before biting her tongue with a pout. She sat down next to Alabster, whom was seated near Subae and Rain. She felt tiny again, and rested her head on Alabaster's shoulder. He looked at her, then returned his attention to the conversation.
"Raelin could be anyway, couldn't she? Perhaps we should split into groups? Perhaps half and half? Just a suggestion, of course... " Alabaster said calmly, almost absently.
You know... you and I could probably find her quicker than everyone here if we...
No. He turned his head to look at the curled up girl next to him, she was grinning again. He shook his head, and she scowled.
[a really crappy post...]
(Not really, it helped me come up with this, even if it is short...)
Trigger looked into Alabaster's suggestion; seeing it as both a good idea, yet also a bad one. It was good because they would be able to find her faster, but it was bad because no one will know where to meet when they do find Raelin. But he doesn't have any other choices to go with at the moment, and his light didn't have any complaints against it, so Trigger seemed to have little choice.
He looked at Alibaster before saying, "Very well. We'll do as we say and split our search to find her. The person who'll split us up will be..." He stopped momentarily before looking at each person of the group, but there was one there that he trusted the most and that would be, "Kaylaa. I leave the group split up to you." He spoke, signaling to Kaylaa as he spoke. Trigger wasn't good at making decisions, therefore he hoped that Kaylaa was good at making decisions at times like this.

David walked along, not moving very quickly but never breaking stride. His side hurt immensely, but considering that he had taken a dive off a cliff, he decided that the injury was something he could ignore.
The castle town broke through the horizon and slowly came into view. David really didn't know what to expect, so he had opened his mind to all possibilities and swallowed his pride, humbling himself enough to return to the scene of his death. He was aware that he could be defeated, it had happened in a most fatal way, and he kept his guard up at all times. His sword never touched its hilt once while he was walking through the field. He didn't trust anything, he was slowly discovering; he didn't trust the trees, the rain, the person who was persistently following him, or even himself. The voice had mentioned his inner beast, something he had come to fear greatly. He was an assassin, after all, and for someone as deadly as himself to let loose the beast of carelessness, it would be the blood of the innocents that soaked the ground rather than this continuous rain.
He reached the gates and froze in confusion, something that's never good for a profession such as his. Something had changed, and the change was obvious, though the cause wasn't. The gate had partially collapsed, the beautiful arches now becoming barriers. David prepared himself for the worst as he climbed over the etched stones, but was completely horrified when he reached the other side. The streets were covered with bodies, women and children as frequent as men. The fountain laid broken in the center of town, with water gushing out onto the walkway and mixing with the blood that was frequent. David stepped carefully over the dead, trying not to defile the bodies further by stepping on them with his boots. He made his way through the flooded square, with water that was too red to simply be that, and started up the steps that led to the castle.
The fortress seemed to be in far better condition than the town it overlooked. The city had been ravaged with explosions, leaving the buildings half-standing and blackened. The castle, however, was almost untouched, though there were no signs of life within the walls. Curious, David moved cautiously forward up the steps toward the mysterious building that could survive a war.

This Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is made dairy-free with cashew cream. It's a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy the flavors of fall.
I was so happy with how this soup turned out. The pumpkin pie spice blend enhances the sweetness of the squash and the texture is divine. The beans and mushrooms add thickness and enough nutrition to make this soup a meal in itself. Or, should I say, several meals; it makes a lot! I froze some of the leftovers and plan to re-serve them when the weather turns cold(er).
In a large pot, heat up a few tablespoons of water.
Add onions and stir until softened.
Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté a few more minutes.
Add spices, butternut squash and beans with enough water to cover.
Bring soup to a boil and then lower heat to simmer for 20 minutes. In the meantime, make cream sauce by blending cashews and non-dairy milk.
Once soup is finished cooking, use a hand immersion blender to make an even texture and stir in cream sauce.
Pin this Vegan & Dairy-Free Butternut Squash Soup to save it for later!
Well done Carrie, nice job! Even though it's verging on summer down here in Australia, I'm moving to Canada in a month, so all these comforting, warm meals are definitely keeping on my track for meals to make in the cold!
This is the best soup! It was so comforting on this cool fall night!
Yummy soup! Thank you Carrie for sharing amazing recipes!

Q: R Markdown Presentation: How to continue a numbered list across a slide? Let's say I want to create this numbered list:

*

*Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error...

*Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit...

*Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia...

*Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate...
In R Markdown, the documentation suggests that to continue such a list after an interruption, one should prepend each list item with (@) as follows:
(@) Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error...
(@) Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit...

 This is an interrupting block of text...

(@) Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia..
(@) Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate...

and this will continue the numbering after the interruption.
However, I tried, without success, to use this approach in continuing a numbered list in an ioslides presentation generated from R Markdown i.e.
(@) Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit...

 ***

(@) Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia..

where *** represents the slide break.
Is there a way I can achieve number continuation across the slide break?

A: You can use the HTML
 tag (ol is for ordered list) which has an optional start argument.
Here is minimal example:
---
title: "Untitled"
output: ioslides_presentation
---

## Slide

 Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error...

 Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit...

This is an interrupting block of text...

 Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia..

 Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate...

This also works across slides.

A: The accepted answer works ok if you only have a few items, but if you are dealing with many listed items and the number may change (i.e. you add or subtract some), the
 approach becomes tedious.
Additionally, the link in the comment of the accepted answer (Continue ordered list numbering automatically) did not work across slides for me using xaringan.
As a workaround, you can create a counter using embedded R code so that you don't have to manually reference the item number. I tested this with xaringan but not ioslides.

title: "Presentation Ninja"
subtitle: "with xaringan"

## Slide

 Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error... `r q<-1`

 Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit... `r q<-q+1`

This is an interrupting block of text...

---

And a new slide....

<ol start=`q+1`>

 Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia.. `r q<-q+1`

 Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate...`r q<-q+1`

The r q<-q+1 blocks are not necessary in the last few items. If I'm going to be doing this a lot, I simply store the ol tag and the increment block into a register in Emacs so they can be called upon quickly.

Corbella: Cats desperately need new home for Christmas
Friendly felines will soon be homeless unless new space is found soon.
Licia Corbella, Calgary Herald
Calgary's tight rental market isn't just hard on humans. It also negatively impacts animals as many landlords don't allow pets. Now, multiply that problem 100-fold and you begin to understand the dire situation facing Dawn Hanson of the Feline Rescue Foundation of Alberta.
If Hanson, the founder and sole staff member of FRFA, doesn't find a large heated space by Jan. 4, dozens of the affectionate cats in her care face a very dire future.
"We're totally desperate," says an anxiety-ridden Hanson, 58, as she pats a purring Lamont, a large longhair tabby, who is soon joined by Mittens
Mittens is just one of almost 100 formerly feral cats that are desperate for a home by Jan. 4. Gavin Young / Calgary Herald
another long-haired calico.
"I'm just begging everyone to ask everyone they know who might have some extra space to help us out," urges Hanson. "I'm just worried sick."
For the past two years, these rescued cats have been living in a type of warehouse-like building on the west side of Macleod Trail that the good folk at Heninger Toyota allowed Hanson to use for free. But the property has been sold and the building is slated for demolition, and while she has received some extensions to her original Halloween moving date, Jan. 4 is a firm date.
The space, says Hanson, doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to be heated and have access to water. Hanson points out that even though she's been at this location for two years, most of the staff at the dealership didn't even know the dozens of cats were there. How is that possible? Because these fabulous feline tenants are super quiet and clean. Hanson and dedicated volunteers keep the place so spic and span there is absolutely no smell and the only noise is the occasional meow.
Hanson is hopeful any space that can either be donated or rented for a reasonable amount could be near public transit, as many of her volunteers don't have cars. Caroleen, who has been volunteering with FRFA since 2000, nods in agreement. She would find it difficult to volunteer, if the space was too far from a transit route.
"I love coming here every week," says Caroleen. "It's like Disneyland for cat lovers. These cats — maybe because they've had such hard lives before — are so loving and grateful for anything you do for them. You just have to touch them and they start purring."
Since a story ran in the Herald in October, nine cats have been adopted and some donations have come in, but not nearly enough to keep the shelter going for very long if market rents have to be paid. Currently, Hanson spends about $3,000 a month on food, Kitty Litter and veterinary care.
Hanson says after the flood of June 2013, donations "dried up" and rental accommodations grew scarcer as a result of damaged property. Ironically, just as donations dropped off, more cats were being abandoned. Then, earlier this year, Alison Redford's scandal-plagued government cancelled the $25,000 Hanson was promised through the Community Spirit fund. Considering the provincial government's lavish abuse of travel and lottery-like severance packages for short-lived political staffers, it makes the dismantling of this program all the more galling. Hanson calls it a perfect storm.
Hanson gingerly makes her way over to a cot, being careful not to step on any of the cats sprawled near her feet, and within 30 seconds is covered in cats — Sylvester, Georgia, Mishu, Zeus, Mittens and (Big Fat) Fanny. Their affection and antics make her smile, but she is crying inside.
Fanny get caught in the act of indelicately grooming herself at the Feline Rescue Foundation of Alberta shelter that needs a new home. Gavin Young / Calgary Herald
"I'm desperate for help," she says. "It's the only thing I want for Christmas is a home for these wonderful cats. I've had calls from people who have had to move and can't keep their cat and I just can't turn them away. I can't. Calgary needs shelter space that can take in cats, especially feral cats that need socialization so they can eventually find a home. Please help."
To contact Hanson please call her at 403-282-5256 or 403-835-4063 or www.frfa.ca

New trees planted at Toomer's Corner
AUBURN — Hundreds of Auburn fans gathered before dawn Saturday to watch as workers planted new live oaks to replace trees killed by a University of Alabama fan.
Onlookers cheered as the new trees arrived on a flatbed trailer Saturday morning. Hoover resident Marcia Frinkel said she wanted to be there for the historic event.
"We just wanted to be here for it and see the new trees planted," she said. "I don't think we'll ever get the chance to see this again."
Alabama fan Harvey Updyke Jr. pleaded guilty to poisoning the original trees after the 2010 Iron Bowl.
Auburn fans traditionally roll Toomer's Corner with toilet paper after victories, but the university is asking them to stay away from the new trees until fall 2016 so they'll have time to take root.
"It's not just a tree, it's symbol of Auburn," said Tommy Pinkard, an Auburn junior. "It's a family here, and when you do something to one of us, you do it to all of us. So the trees really have a lot of meaning, especially since you had someone take away what meant so much to everyone."
A third live oak is being planted elsewhere on campus in case one of the newly planted trees at Toomer's Corner doesn't survive.

Jonathan Bars Super Eagles For Two Years

San Francisco, June 30, (THEWILL) – The embarrassing and under par performance of Nigeria's soccer team, the Super Eagles at the world cup in South Africa has earned the team a two-year suspension from international competitions.
President Goodluck Jonathan's Adviser on Media, Mr. Ima Niboro told State House correspondents that President Jonathan today issued the suspension order in Abuja following the team's poor performance at the World Cup.
"Mr. President has directed that Nigeria will withdraw from all international football competition for the next two years to enable Nigeria to reorganize its football,"
"This directive became necessary following Nigeria's poor performance in the ongoing FIFA World Cup."
The Super Eagles were bottom in their group with two loses and one draw in three group matches played.


19-21 August 1991 entourage Gorbachev attempted to stop perestroyka process and stop the collapse of the USSR. The rebels, led by G. Yanayev intern (isolated) Gorbachev in the Crimea, creating the so-called State Committee on the State of Emergency (DKNS), which is supported by its supporters in the highest echelons of the Communist, the army and the KGB had to take over power in the country. But Democrats Russia headed by Boris Yeltsin managed to seize the initiative and with the help of mass protests to defeat the Conservatives. It became clear that the plan Novooharovskoho signing a document that, according to Mikhail Gorbachev, was to promote a new union contract, hopelessly failed.
August 24, 1991 held an extraordinary session of the Supreme Soviet, which declared independence of Ukraine, ie the creation of an independent Ukrainian state.

Shushkevich) noted the collapse of the Soviet Union and signed an agreement on creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). December 21 in Alma-Ata Declaration on establishment of CIS leaders signed Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine.

'It was like time stood still' — 77 years after his death, a WWII soldier finally comes home

More than 75 years after his death in New Guinea, a Wisconsin National Guard soldier was finally laid to rest by his family on Sunday.
Army Tech 5th Grade John E. Bainbridge of the 32nd Infantry Division's Company C, 128th Infantry Regiment was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1919, according to an Army press release.
He first enlisted in the Wisconsin National Guard after graduating high school, working as a cook with the Sheboygan's Service Battery, 120th Field Artillery, 32nd ID.
He was discharged in November 1941 "due to family hardship," according to the Army, but rejoined the 32nd after the U.S. declared war on Japan. He deployed to Australia in July 1942 as a technician 5th grade with C Company.
He was killed on Dec. 2, 1942 during the Battle of Buna. According to the press release, Bainbridge's remains "were hastily buried on the battlefield" and were designated "Unknown X-135" when he was reinterred at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines in 1947.
In February 2017, his remains were exhumed and then sent to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency where they were identified.
He was buried on Sept. 29 at Monona's Roselawn Memorial Park in Wisconsin, the same cemetery as his sister.
"It was like time stood still for one second as 77 years of waiting, hoping and wondering came to a glorious halt," his niece Nancy Cunningham said of his burial, according to the press release.
Family never gave up looking for his remains at Pearl Harbor. Now, he'll get a proper funeral

Sir Francis Hartwell, 1st Baronet (15 February 1757 – 28 June 1831) was a British Navy officer and Deputy Comptroller of the Navy from 1808 to 1814.

He was born the son of Captain Broderick Hartwell, RN, of Dale Hall, Essex, later the lieutenant-governor of Greenwich Hospital. Francis was commissioned into the Navy himself as a lieutenant in 1775.

In 1777 he was given command of the troopship Lord Amherst in Jamaica, but the ship was wrecked on Bermuda when transporting wounded soldiers back to England. He had better luck with his next command, the cutter Rattlesnake in the Channel fleet, when they captured a French West-Indiaman, after which he was promoted commander. He then took the Aetna 8 to Africa in 1779 and took part in the capture of the island of Gorée in Senegal from the French before sailing to the West Indies. There he was promoted captain and briefly given command of HMS Sphinx, a 20 gun six-rater before transferring to HMS Brune, 32-gun frigate, with which he captured a French ship, the Renard and the privateer Resolution.

In 1792 he recommissioned HMS Thetis, a 38-gun fifth-rate frigate, and escorted a convoy to St. Helena after which he captured two French merchantmen, unfortunately losing one back to the French. When Thetis was paid off the following year he retired from active service.

He thereafter served the Navy in an administrative capacity as a commissioner of the Victualling Board and commissioner of Sheerness (1796) and at Chatham (1799). He was appointed a Navy commissioner without special function in 1801 before being appointed Deputy Comptroller of the Navy from 1808 to 1814.

He was knighted in May 1802 and on 26 October 1805 created the 1st Baronet Hartwell of Dale Hall, Essex.

He died at his London residence in 1831. He had married in 1781 Anne Charlotte Maria, the eldest daughter of Captain John Elphinstone by whom he had 2 surviving sons, one of whom predeceased him. On his first wife's death he had married Louisa Aldridge in 1812, by whom he had a daughter. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his grandson Sir Brodrick Hartwell, 2nd Baronet.

Q: Unable to print 2d Array in Java I am trying to take input to 2d array and print it .

I don't want to use ArrayList collection of Java Interfaces or any other libraries
  I am having problem in printing  it on the console .The input is working well

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

class Triangle{
    public static int n;
    public static void main(String args[]){
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        int i, j, cases;
        int[][] values = new int[100][100];
        cases = in.nextInt();
        while(cases-- > 0){
            n = in.nextInt();
            int temp;
            for(i=0 ; i<n ; i++){
                for(j=0 ; j<=i ; j++){
                    values[i][j] = in.nextInt();
                }
            }
        }
        large(values);
    }
    public static void large(int[][] arr){
        for(int i = 0 ; i<n ; i++){
            for(int j=i ; j<i ; j++){
                System.out.print(arr[i][j] + " ");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

A: Your problems start here:
public static void large(int[][] arr){
    for(int i = 0 ; i<n ; i++){

What makes you think that the last n entered by the user reflects the boundaries of your arrays?
In other words: you defined your array to be of size 100 x 100; and arrays themselves know their size; so you just go for
for(int i=0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  for (int j=0; j < arr[i].length; j++) {

And please note: you should consider to rework your "input" method as well. As of now, that code is highly confusing; looping style is strange; and as said: good protection against going beyond array limits ... looks differently than what you put down!

A: If you want to print all the array you need to start each index with 0, in you code you start your second loop with i, and you forgot to add each entry to the sum
      public static void large(int[][] arr){
    for(int i = 0 ; i<n ; i++){
        for(int j=0 ; j<i ; j++){
            System.out.print(arr[i][j]);
             sum+=arr[i][j];
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
    System.out.println(sum);
   }

Validation Of Airflow Measurement In Ducts Using Laser Doppler Anemometry And Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling
A. Mayes, S. Mitchell, J. Missenden & A. Gilbert
The problem of airflow measurement is of interest to Building Services Engineers to allow for the effective commissioning and validation of predictive procedures. The velocity distribution in a square section duct (400 mm x 400 mm) was investigated using a Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) to determine the velocity distribution and volumetric flow rate in the system, and to compare it with CFD and theoretical predictions (for both square and circular sections). The procedure has revealed a number of practical issues involved in the measurement of such air flows involving an LDA, including boundary flow measurement issues, and the consistency of results. A standard Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package was also used to model the same flow regime, and agreement was obtained with the LDA results for a range of flow rates. Of particular interest was the detailed distribution of modelled and measured velocities across the duct, and the ways in which these compared with the commonly assumed one-seventh power law relationship for turbulent flows. The detailed nature of the observations made allowed investigation of the suitability of power laws for the circular case, and enabled assessment of whether an alternative exponent or method of predicting such flows would be more appropriate in air flow modelling. The study shows the comparison of velocity distribution in a square duct and theoretical similarly sized circular duct. Keywords: Laser Doppler Anemometer, LDA, airflow, Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, log-tchebycheff, one-seventh power law, turbulent flow, boundary layer, internal flow.

A Missed Opportunity. Why is Teacher Training Still Absent from the Schools Ofsted Handbook?
Last week I published a number of blogs exploring the proposed Ofsted Framework for 2019, as well as some of the individual elements of that framework. Today I want to explore the proposals from the point of view of an ITE provider, rather than that of a school.
As you may have noted, I was reasonably upbeat about the revisions and opportunities for schools in the new framework. Although I am aware that there may be a lot of work for people to do to feel confident in meeting the criteria of the "Quality of Education" element. When it comes to ITE however, I am less encouraged. I have written about some of the struggles in ITE in the past (HERE and HERE). I know that Ofsted was never going to do much to reverse the tide of generic teacher training. However, there was one major area where I hoped a new framework might be of some use: improving the status of mentoring.
Naturally we all have our own hobby horses, but I think that mentoring is so much more important than it is ever given credit for. Well mentored trainees become part of professional communities which link schools and ITE providers through a focus on subject (or phase) expertise. This in turn influences the long term sustainability of curriculum and pedagogical knowledge in schools, and puts subject/phase expertise at the heart of what trainee (and later mainscale) teachers think about. I have no doubt that it also influences the likelihood that trainees will stay in the profession in the longer term (Lave and Wenger make a convincing case that teachers who feel they have professional freedoms are much more likely to have job satisfaction).
At the moment, ITE providers face a constant struggle to build and maintain a network of well qualified, interested and engaged mentors with specific subject (or phase) expertise. Indeed, this is one of criteria for which ITE providers are held accountable. Schools, however, are not. This leads to a tension between ITE providers who need mentor engagement, and schools who see this as an area low priority.
Most of the brilliant mentors I work with at Leeds Trinity do their mentoring role with no extra time or recompense. Mentors are often forced to balance their teaching and mentoring roles and constantly have to choose between conflicting priorities. Many are also denied the opportunity to attend meetings and training sessions as schools don't always have the funds (or will) to release them for a half day to attend. All of this means that it is very hard for ITE providers to ensure that schools and school mentors can act as partners in developing the subject and curriculum expertise of their trainees. In the worst cases, trainees in schools with overstretched mentors (some of whom are forced into the role to fulfil UPS3 demands), end up with a diet of generic advice, rather than a well developed programme of subject training. It is often in these environments that ideas such as VAK and Thinking Hats are perpetuated. This has the effect of reducing professionalism and I am sure has led to many leaving the profession.
My hope with the new handbook and framework was that Ofsted would seek to give the vital role of the ITE mentor more prominence. But, as far as I can see, the draft inspection handbook contains no reference at all to ITE mentoring (beyond the tiny numbers who complete salaried School Direct courses), and only refers to NQT mentoring in the most general terms.
Whether the school has a clear set of expectations for what an ITE mentor should be doing as part of their role.
Whether ITE mentors are given appropriate time to carry out their roles.
How the school works with their ITE provider(s) to promote the effective development of trainee teachers.
The subject qualifications and expertise of ITE mentors to ensure that they are qualified to move trainees on in terms of their subject/phase specific understanding.
Whether the ITE coordinator ensures that there is an appropriate balance of professional input and subject specific development happening within the school and in partnership with ITE providers.
Whether the school enables ITE mentors to attend training in areas connected to the teaching of their subject and acting as a mentor.
How ITE mentors engage with trainees and ask pertinent questions about the curricular and learning intentions of their lessons.
How ITE mentors encourage trainees to engage deeply with subject knowledge and subject pedagogy, and how they draw on expertise from subject associations.
How the impact of ITE mentors is monitored and how support is enabled for mentors struggling to fulfil their role.
How the school encourages and sustains a stable group of ITE mentors within the school.
If Ofsted were to take the role of ITE mentoring (and indeed NQT mentoring) in schools seriously in the new framework then it might go at least some way towards a coherent solution to the teacher recruitment and retention crisis. The chance is still there. Let's hope it is taken.

Child Workers Found In Hyundai-Kia Parts Makers In Alabama
At least four major suppliers of Hyundai Motor Co and sister Kia Corp have employed child labor at Alabama factories in recent years, a Reuters investigation found, and state and federal agencies are probing whether kids have worked at as many as a half dozen additional manufacturers throughout the automakers' supply chain in the US state, Mica Rosenberg, Kristina Cooke and Joshua Schneyer reported.
Photo Insert: As many as 10 Alabama plants that supply parts to Hyundai or Kia have been investigated for child labor by various state and federal law enforcement or regulatory agencies.
At a plant owned by Hwashin America Corp, a supplier to the two car brands in the south Alabama town of Greenville, a 14-year-old Guatemalan girl worked this May assembling auto body components, according to interviews with her father and law enforcement officials.
At plants owned by Korean auto-parts maker Ajin Industrial Co, in the east Alabama town of Cusseta, a former production engineer told Reuters he worked with at least 10 minors. And six other ex-employees of Ajin said they, too, worked alongside multiple underage laborers.
In two separate statements sent by the same public relations firm, Hwashin and Ajin said their policies forbid the hiring of any worker not of legally employable age. Using identical language, both companies said they hadn't, "to the best of our knowledge," hired underage workers.
The employment of children at Hwashin and Ajin hasn't been previously reported. The news follows a Reuters report in July that revealed the use of child workers, one as young as 12, by SMART Alabama LLC, a Hyundai subsidiary in the south Alabama town of Luverne.
In August, the U.S. Department of Labor said that SL Alabama LLC, another Hyundai supplier and a unit of South Korea's SL Corp, employed underage workers, including a 13-year-old, at its factory in Alexander City.
Since then, as many as 10 Alabama plants that supply parts to Hyundai or Kia have been investigated for child labor by various state and federal law enforcement or regulatory agencies, according to two people familiar with the probes.
The investigations are being conducted across small towns and rural outposts where many of the suppliers and the job recruiters that staff them are located. It isn't yet clear whether the probes will lead to criminal charges, fines or other penalties, the two people said.
On Aug. 22 a team of Labor Department and Alabama state inspectors arrived unannounced at one of Ajin's plants, according to people familiar with the operation.
As the team arrived, workers rushed out the back and left the premises before they could be questioned, one of the inspectors told a meeting of Alabama's anti-human trafficking task force last month, according to two people who attended. The inspection hasn't previously been reported.

Feeling depressed when living in a new country is very common. Here's a few actions items you can do to try and change your situation.
Those who have read my previous posts know how much I love Japan. In spite of its numerous imperfections, I remain happy and proud to call this country my home. I am fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the hospitable people, the temperate climate, the good food and the wonderful culture. Unfortunately, Japan can sometimes be a cold, lonely and hostile place.
For all its advanced technology and hospitality, Japan is unfortunately a country wrought by emotional issues. Japan consistently records one of the highest suicide rates in the developed world. Work stress, family problems, social exclusion and bullying are all factors. The Japanese compulsion to internalize negative feelings is also a major factor.
As a foreigner in Japan, I have to say I often worry for the mental well-being of some of my friends and colleagues. They work such long hours, have so little time for a personal life, and feel the constant pressure to put work and their job before all other considerations.
However, we foreigners are not immune to the trauma of mental or emotional instability either. The dreaded "culture shock" has probably afflicted all of us to some degree at one time or another.
"Culture shock" is probably best categorized as an extreme sense of helplessness, isolation, loneliness and fear. It occurs when the "honeymoon period" of enjoying the novelty of being in a new country wears off. We try to adjust to the daily grind of work, building new friendships, pursuing relationships and trying to fit into Japanese society, but sooner or later, we all feel a certain sense of alienation.
Whether or not this could actually be considered a form of depression or not is debatable, however the external manifestations of the symptoms are very similar. Sufferers of culture shock can become withdrawn, nervous around groups of people, prone to sudden mood swings or emotional outbursts and just generally very unhappy with their surroundings.
The question is, what can we do about it? If you feel like the day to day grind of life in Japan is becoming too much, in the first instance, there are a few steps you can take to remedy this.
1) Get out of town. Go to the onsen, do some hiking in the countryside, attend a local matsuri or cultural event. Remind yourself why it is you fell in love with Japan in the first place.
2) Make an action plan. Identify 4 or 5 things in your life that are making you unhappy. Write them down so you don't forget. Once you've done that, write a paragraph about each one. Think of why this is a problem and how it can be overcome. Be realistic, but not pessimistic, in setting your goals.
3) Shake up your social scene. Perhaps your social life has been stagnating, and this is making you unhappy. Join a local sports club or activity group. Check the internet for local international parties or events in your area. Being around new people gives you the chance to just be yourself, without the usual peer pressures we can sometimes experience in our usual social group.
4) Talk to your Japanese friends. When I was feeling very down about life before, I talked with my closest Japanese friend at the time. Their insight into how to deal with the day to day struggles here was invaluable. I also learned at that time, Japanese people aren't really that different from us, and we have more in common than you may think.
5) Re-evaluate your job. Is the current job you have making you unhappy? Are the hours not right for you? Do you have problems with co-workers? Maybe a new job in Japan is what you need to recharge.
6) Study Japanese. In many cases, our sense of alienation or frustration stems from an inability to understand the people around us. Without at least some knowledge of Japanese we simply cannot have even the simplest of day to day interactions, the kind of which we would take for granted back in our own countries. Attending a Japanese language school is not only fun but having even a few basic words in Japanese can open up a whole new world of interactions and potential friendships.
7) Avoid alcohol. For many it can be tempting to go and get drunk with your friends and forget your problems. As Homer Simpson once said: "Alcohol, the cause and solution to all of life's problems.". However, alcohol itself is a natural depressant, and drinking when you are already on a downer is not a good idea.
8) Go and see the doctor. If you are feeling the symptoms of depression, there could be many causes. It could be something wrong with your diet, a lack of sleep or exercise, and numerous other, easily resolved health issues.
In some cases, of course, depression can be more serious. If you have tried the steps above and you still don't feel right, go and see a psychiatric doctor. Japan may still be a little behind some other countries in terms of societal acceptance of depression and other mental illnesses, but treatment here is improving rapidly. The political classes in Japan are finally waking up to the fact that depression and suicide are both bad for business. Healthy hearts and minds, lead to a healthier economy. Investment in treatments for mental illness in Japan, and moves to improve education and understanding are increasing.
The most important thing to remember is this. You are not alone.
There are millions of people across Japan, and indeed all over the world who suffer from depression to some degree. I myself have had issues in the past. Do not feel ashamed, do not feel embarrassed. No one will laugh at you; no one will ridicule you for admitting you need help.
If you're really in a bad situation and you feel there is no way out, call Tokyo English Life Line: 03-5774-0992.
TELL is an anonymous English speaking counselling and support service available daily from 9am to 11pm. They have a network of support all across Japan and they really can help. No matter how dark things may seem, there is always a way.
Depression is like any other illness. With the right treatment, the right lifestyle and a proper system of support and follow up care, we can beat it!
I myself suffer from depression due to imbalanced chemicals in my brain. And what I've heard from many people is that I shouldn't go to Japan because of it. I'm moving there to study Japanese for two years, because I love the language and I love the country.
They said I should fix my depression first and that I shouldn't go because it will make me even more depressed because of the bad mental healthcare over there. And all these negativities I get actually make me doubt myself. But I have medication and I have the papers that allows me to take with my medications.
But it is really depressing to see that people tell me not to go, because I got depression.
I have just recently returned to my country after staying in Japan for 1 year as an exchange student. I don't know why but I think that I didn't feel that much of a culture shock when I was in Japan. I might be wrong and have gone through a culture shock just different but I felt like "this is where I belong" when I was in Japan.
The problem is now, that I got back to my own country, I was going through several reverse culture shocks and I am feeling down and low spirited for around 2 months now. Still can't forget the time I spent in Japan and I feel like everyday I miss it more and more.
Might be because I was gone for 1 year but I feel out of place when I spend time with some of my friends and sometimes even with my family. I miss the people I met in Japan, my friends, the culture, my boyfriend… well at least it makes me strive to do my best to one day be able to go back to Japan.
that´s a great post with many helpful thoughts and insights.
I myself are a foreigner in Japan who wants to settle here and I have experienced days with exactly such kinds of bad mood you have described.
You make a very good point. Lack of sleep and depression are often interconnected and both need to be tackled if a person is to regain balance in their daily life. I am not ashamed to say i have used sleep medication before, and i may well need it again in the future.
Love this post, and the blog. It is good advice whether or not you are a Japanophile, like I am, and it appears you are.
Keep up the funny and interesting stuff.
This should be number one for any expat in any country.
People from other than English speaking countries considers it not only to be rude but also stupid to even consider living abroad without learning the local language.
It's veging on colonialism to believe you can manage a fulfilling life in Japan without knowing Japanese.
I think you make a good point. I will admit my Japanese isnt very good, but my friends and colleagues certainly appreciate my efforts. A little effort does indeed go a long way.
Outstanding blog Liam! It is easy to slip into alcoholism in Japan as everyone seems to be handing out drinks on a night out and everywhere sells alcohol.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed reading. I think alcoholism is unfortunately a growing problem here. As you say, alcohol is so freely available here and public drinking doesnt seem to have the same stigma attached here as it may in most western countries. As a non-drinker myself, i have to say it is quite disconcerting when I go into a bar or izakaya here and the soft drinks are often just as expensive or in some cases even more expensive than beers!
Yes, the Lifeline is free and open from 9am-11pm.
9. Learn Japanese, immediately. 10. Find yourself a Japanese girlfriend / boyfriend who wants to learn English.
The other sometimes obvious answer if this is long term thing maybe going home should be considered.
Thanks for commenting Robert, and i think you make a good point. Some move to Japan, or another new country believing it is some kind of magic bullet that will solve all their problems and sadly that often isn't the case. However, as I've pointed out in previous articles, in some cases the prevailing economic conditions, and certain nations' frankly racist immigration policies mean that some people don't have the option of going home. From experience I can say that being depressed and unemployed is a lot worse than being depressed and in work.
Your quite right with that. I am here as much as for economic reasons as for my interest in Japan.
Homer Simpson "Alcohol, the cause and solution to all of lifes problems." Quote fail. Otherwise a good article that hopefully helps some of the forlorn out there.
Oops sorry about that. Actually i took that quote from a t-shirt i saw of Homer Simpson. Since I havent really watched the Simpsons regularly for the last 10 years I assumed he must have said it at some point.
Good job with writing this article Liam, thanks!
Thanks Nathan, if it helps even one person then it was worth it.
Crude Kansai and Uptight Tokyo; Where do Japan's regional stereotypes come from?
Uchi Soto is the Japanese custom of a clear distinction between in-groups (uchi, 内) and out-groups (soto, 外).
Cultural traditions or racial tendencies? Is Japan a country that is open to foreigners?


I agree that it is desirable that it should be all or nothing as far as IMPLICIT NONE is concerned, the point was that if you want it, it is possible to implement it routine-by-routine AND still keep the old implicit type conventions. As for me, the certain knowledge of what is INTEGER is invaluable, as I still use codes I wrote well over 40 years ago. My only type assumption error was declaring lambda to be REAL, and that drove me nearly mad. I'd lost access to machines where single precision was 48 or 60 bits, and 32 bits wasn't good enough to converge the calculation. The problem wasn't even that I thought it was INTEGER, I knew I'd 'sorted it out' a decade before. IMPLICIT NONE wouldn't have helped, as the type was declared (to be the useless 32 bit standard precision REAL).
I think that your suggestion that in Plato the different variable type could be shown colour coded is an excellent one (for those afflicted by IMPLICIT NONE). Perhaps in response to a switch. I hope that Paul takes notice.
As for everyone looking like a man, I didn't know that you had spent time in an East German Olympics squad!
I am a bit lost about this IMPLICIT NONE discussion.
You can put an IMPLICIT NONE at the start of each (or some) routine.
You then have to explicitly define the type of all variables being used, be they in MODULE, COMMON or local.
There is no requirement to make I a real variable or A1 an integer.
You just have to declare their type.
What you are effectively doing is providing a dictionary of allowable variable names for each routine, so if the variable name is not in the "dictionary", then you get an error report.
If you use include files for COMMON or modules, then declaring all variables listed in the include file replicates the work for all routines that use these includes. With modules, there is less work, as a module is typically a list of declarations.
You are then left to declare the local variables in each routine. As for 1000's of variables, how can that work ? I have always had a coding strategy of a routine can fit onto a page ( 60 lines of code ) hard to get 1000's of local variables into a single routine.
I do have modules that are 1000+ lines long, with derived type definitions and global variables. I need a dictionary in this case.
I think you would be surprised how many spelling errors you have in your code.
Really not sure how this destroys the spirit of I being an integer ?
Precisely, John. The issue of how you name your variables of different types is separate from whether or not you use IMPLICIT NONE or not, and as well as incrementally incorporating IMPLICIT NONE in your code routine-by-routine, you are right that you can do it in INCLUDE files.
What if i forget to declare I123453423 ?
Why i need to go to another file, module or function or hell knows where to see was I123453423 declared or not and if yes then how?
Why when debug or update the code i have to search I123453423 among 1000 other variables like I123423, I423343412, I52345345, I52345234534, I345345453452345, I23453456q4356w4565467e3567, i5345345345345345345, i545345w3234423234234234, i43423542345634632465, I332wersdssdfsdfsdfsdf, Ir4233423424234, I342342342345_1234, I23423434563456235423452, I2431234234234234, I423434234234. My modules have many pages of declarations only computer search can find anything there.
Calm down, Dan! You don't have to - well, at least not currently. But if you wanted to, you don't have to do it all at once. And if the Fortran Committee dictate, maybe you'll have to. As for me, I'll never use IMPLICIT NONE. It's snake oil.
Fortunately, my needs will have expired long before the Fortran Committee get round to outlawing Fortran as we know it and replacing the source form with cascading columns of mixed Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji,only in green!
An interesting discussion this one.
lest we forget ... has only one function --> to force the coder to define ALL variables EXPLICITLY, thus forcing checking that each and everyone is correctly defined.
I see pros and cons of each one.
If someone doesn't want to be bothered checking through hundreds, if not thousands of variable declarations (route IMPLICIT NONE) then that's their choice, but doesn't eliminate errors because to achieve the optimum outcome means that you must have correctly implicitly defined all variables.
The opposite route involves being forced to define everything, to be sure.
I guess it's a toss up also as to whether you want to rely on yourself for checking or on the computer checking facilities.
And there's the rub - both are not 100% fool-proof.
Yer makes yer choice and you pays the consequential price, as it were.
The colour-coded checking (in PLATO, or indeed any other text-editor if that's feasible) would obviously be an aide.
What would be also invaluable would be to be able to get listings, split into various groups - everything, routine/function by routine/function directly from the compiler with an option !
After all the compiler has all this information about variables already stored no ?
This should be tabular output.
for all variables, grouped as mentioned above.
An invaluable reference for any program.
Dan, you're too hard on yourself in your self-assessment !
.. .and my spelling faut-pas's because of my dodgy keyboard are far worse and more frequent(ly non-corrected) than anything in your posts.
I for one value your expertise, your willingness to help anyone, and above all your enthusiasm in encourageing people to get onboard the ftn95 train and to enjoy the ride.
Age has taught me that it's better to think long and hard before ploughing into the youthful, brash coding-correction loop of which I once was a proponent, and which has it's merits but also needs a lot of 'correction' time.
Besides which I'm still playing catch-up on good fortran coding practice let alone the subtleties of F95 enhancements, and let let alone the joys of Clearwin GUI programming, which is a nice cherry to stick on your scientific coding cake but which always rune the risk of 'taking over' due to over-elaboraton and zeal.
Eddie's pre-postumous prediction of Japanese styled future Fortran (maybe Manga-tran ? , that's got a nice ring to it) might be alittle premature, some would say kamikaze, as to do that there would be a need for at least x3 and probably x4 keyboards, each of which would be at least twice the size of a normal keyboard, and the third being approximately 80 times as large if Manga-tran were to be thorough and universal.
which is a little disconcerting - late stage of what ?
Does this comment indicate a future intention to abandon 32-bit ?
Dan, I think you have better things to do than use I123453423 as a variable name. It looks to me that you have opened the door for the devil and set out the milk and cookies !!
