Cogently attacking libertarianism means, at the very least, wrestling with what libertarians actually believe.
Over at Psychology Today, Peter Corning has penned an attack on libertarianism. This is nothing remarkable, as attacks on libertarians, especially attacks aimed at showing how psychologically damaged we must be, are a dime a dozen. But Corning's diatribe so neatly fits the archetype of an academic pointing out that "Libertarians Just Don't Get It" while evincing a profound misunderstanding of libertarianism, that it's worth taking a moment to look at. Specifically, like far too many who dismiss libertarians, Corning fails to recognize how we distinguish society from state.
"One problem with this (utopian) model is we now have overwhelming evidence that the individualistic, acquisitive, selfish-gene model of human nature is seriously deficient," Corning says.
Libertarians reject this, we're told, and instead believe that every man should look out only for himself, reject notions of reciprocity, eschew social ties, feel no empathy, and do nothing to help others until we stand to directly profit from it (and then only do it because we directly profit from it).
A line from libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick's path-breaking book, Anarchy, State and Utopia, says it all: "Individuals have rights, and there are things no person or group [or state] may do to them without violating their rights." (When asked to specify what those rights are, libertarians often cite philosopher John Locke's mantra "life, liberty, and property.") Not to worry, though. Through the "magic" of Adam Smith's "invisible hand," the efficient pursuit of our self interests in "free markets" will ensure the greatest good for the greatest number.
From this Corning concludes that Nozick is in favor of a dog-eat-dog, every-man-for-himself world. Which would no doubt come as a surprise to Nozick himself, as it's completely at odds with his own writing, including the entire final section of Anarchy, State and Utopia.
Corning attacks Hayek for rejecting socialism, believing that this amounts to a rejection of society. And, unsurprisingly, he misunderstands Rand in precisely the way a great many intellectuals misunderstand Rand: Corning believes her claim that we should never use each other (and particularly never employ violence in order to use each other) is instead a claim that we should always see each other as morally insignificant at best—and more often as outright enemies.
The common thread linking these misinterpretations is Corning's inability (or unwillingness) to distinguish society from state. Because Nozick says the state ought to be limited, Corning believes he must have an impoverished view of society. Because Hayek thinks state economic planning violates our freedoms and makes us worse off, Corning believes he must also think robust social ties violate our freedoms and make us worse off. Because Rand adopts an Aristole-influenced conception of man's purpose (i.e., his own eudiamonia), Corning believes she thinks we should never form meaningful relationships and never help those worse off than us.
Humans are social animals, require deep social connections in order to thrive, and develop much of their sense of self through the social environment they're raised in. Humans cannot live well in isolation, and live best when working together within a framework of mutual respect and reciprocity.
Big government is the only political system compatible with (1).
Set out like this, the absurdity of these anti-libertarian arguments becomes clear. Libertarians don't dispute (1). In fact, many of us are libertarians because we believe libertarianism (broadly defined as strong respect for liberty, private property, and free markets) will best facilitate the sort of human flourishing (1) describes. Further, we believe the evidence supports this claim.
So instead of rejecting (1), libertarians in fact reject (2). Not only do we reject (2) by claiming that there are other political systems compatible with (1), but we take it a step further by saying that big government isn't just unnecessary for a rich, social environment, but in fact undermines the very sort of flourishing (1) describes.
Whether we're right about that is an argument worth having. But it's not the argument Corning seems interested in. Instead, like so many others, he believes big government's link to human flourishing is so obvious that the only way one could reject big government is to quite literally reject human flourishing.
This is, put simply, a failure of the imagination, coupled with profound status-quo bias. Corning just can't envision how a society where the state isn't free to use violence to compel nonviolent citizens to do its bidding can function. And maybe that is difficult to imagine. But so was democracy, as economist Bryan Caplan notes.
Imagine advocating democracy a thousand years ago. You sketch your basic idea: "Every few years we'll have a free election. Anyone who wants power can run for office, every adult gets a vote, and whoever gets the most votes runs the government until the next election." How would your contemporaries react?
Corning, and so many like him, could learn a little humility from history. Just because violent nation states engaging in social engineering and forced redistribution are the flavor of the day doesn't mean they're the best system for enabling people to lead rich and rewarding lives.
But having that discussion demands much more than painting your opponents as moral monsters who reject the very foundations of what it means to be human. In other words, it demands more careful study than Peter Corning appears ready to muster.

Laketran seeks 0.25 percent sales tax on goods purchased in county
Election 2019: Laketran seeking 10-year 0.25 percent sales tax
Issue will allow agency to meet 'growing demand, improve job access,' officials report
Chad Felton
@believethatcfnh on Twitter
Laketran is asking voters in the Nov. 5 General Election to approve a 0.25 percent sales tax for 10 years.
According to election officials, there are 152,284 registered voters in Lake County.
If passed, the transit agency starting in 2020 would receive 25 cents per every $100 in taxable goods purchased in Lake County. Laketran is operating on its original tax levy from 1988.
Officials have said the issue would allow Laketran to meet the growing demand for accessible transportation for Lake County seniors, people with disabilities and veterans. It would also improve job access to important manufacturing corridors like Tyler Boulevard and Heisley Road — where there are more than 300 employers and 7,500 jobs.
To date, Lake County residents rely on Laketran over 2,500 times a day, equaling 750,000 times a year, the agency reports. Over 60 percent of Laketran trips get residents to work or school, including seniors and people with disabilities.
In addition, Dial-a-Ride, the agency's door-to-door, assisted transportation shared-ride service ridership, has grown 18 percent since 2015, with Lake County's senior population continuing to grow. Over 75 percent of the funds from the tax would be used to sustain Dial-a-Ride service and meet the growing demand, while remaining funds will expand routes to improve job access.
Laketran Board President Brian Falkowski said sales tax revenue is the agency's only sustainable source of revenue, which makes up 65 percent of its operating budget.
"Coming back to the community for new money was not a decision we took lightly, but we are the only agency I know of in Lake County operating off its original levy and we've stretched that revenue for over 30 years."
Laketran CEO Ben Capelle also noted that as ridership increases, funding continues to decline, including a loss of $800,000 from the state alone in 2019.
"Funding for public transportation has always been volatile since there is no dedicated source of funding at the state level," he said.
"Over the past five years, trips to medical appointments for seniors has increased 53 percent, and work trips, often for people with disabilities, have gone up by 21 percent," he added. "Trips to local senior centers, too, have increased by 27 percent this year alone."

THE MONOUX FAMILY:
ARMS AND CREST.
We know very little of the early days of George Monoux, but according to Heralds' ' College he was descended from John Monoux of Stanford, in the County of Worcester. There is no evidence of his place of birth, although several writers say he was born in London. However, we do know that he spent the best part of his life as a London citizen, and showed himself a man of considerable ability. He had much influence in the City and became possessed of great wealth. His first wife, Joan, probably died in 1500, and he afterwards married Ann, the former wife of Robert Watts, but of this "some-time consort" we know little. George Monoux had two sons-Thomas, who died in 1537, and George who also died before his father and left a son, William, who died without issue. 'The heir to the property of Monoux was George, the son of Thomas, who was born in 1529. Monoux had also two daughters-one married to William Woodball, and Elizabeth, who was twice married, first, to Sir Thomas Denny of Hoo, in Norfolk, and, secondly, to Robert Dacres of Cheshunt in Herts.
There were other branches of the Monoux family, and for a long time they flourished in Bedfordshire. In Sandy Parish Church there are several monuments to various members of this family, which came to an end by the death of Sir Philip Monoux, Bart., in 1814.
The Monoux Arms and Crest are as follows :-ARMS : Argent, on a Chevron Sable, between three Fig Leaves, Vert, three Besants, Or. On a Chief Gules, a Martlet between two Anchors erect, Argent. CREST: A Bird Blue, Beak and Legs Gules, Wings Or, in his Beak an Acorn-slip proper.

Assembler programs are written with short abbreviations called MNEMONICS, in other words instead of writing GOTO, the programmer writes JMP or even BRA (branch). These instructions are frequently abbreviated into total incomprehensibility.
Of course, we all know that abbreviations are arbitrary. Anyone who has spent any time programming in assembler knows that all computers can be programmed using an undocumented set of instructions. Frequently when an error is made writing a program in assembler a user can actually see the program executing the undocumented instructions.
These instructions vary from machine from machine, but all computers have a certain set of them in common. As a service to humanity, I am here revealing these common instructions for the first time.

Mirrors: Coating Choice Makes a Difference
A mirror is an important element in many optical systems. Its basic function is to redirect light, often with the purpose of making an optical system more compact. This article discusses the kinds of thin-film coatings that can be used for mirrors. The choice of coating depends on the application, including the spectral range of interest, the optical wavefront quality desired and the cost limitations.
The basic difference between the household mirror and the optical mirror is that one is coated on the back surface and the other is coated on the front. For optical applications, a front-surface mirror must be used. This means that the reflective surface is subject to environmental degradation, even though it is usually in an enclosed environment and not exposed to the harsh conditions of the household mirror. An important part of mirror technology is providing a durable front-surface mirror that is stable and can be cleaned.
A mirror's substrate surface should be flat and smooth. The flatness is usually specified in terms of how many wavelengths of light the surface deviates from being a perfect plane. For many applications, the glass can be flat to a few wavelengths of visible light. For the most stringent applications, the surface must be flat to a quarter of a wavelength or less. The surface quality of a mirror, or its smoothness, is measured in terms of scratches and digs that are still present after polishing. A scratch/dig specification of 80/50 is fairly routine, while a specification of 20/10 is much better, but more expensive.
For some applications, a mirror's ability to conduct heat is important. In these cases, metal substrates are often used because metal is much more conductive than glass. Optical-quality metal surfaces can be fabricated by polishing or single-point diamond turning. The most common metals used are copper and aluminum. Although beryllium is highly toxic, it is used when especially light weight, stiff mirrors are required. In the case of metal substrates, the coating improves the reflectance and makes the surface more durable and resistant to scratches.
Metal mirror coatings
The simplest and most common mirror coating is a thin layer of metal. A 100-nm layer of aluminum or silver makes an excellent reflector for the visible spectrum. Aluminum reflects about 90 percent of the light across the visible spectrum, while silver reflects about 95 percent. The reflectance of a metal mirror can be calculated from the index of refraction n and the extinction coefficient k of the metal. The reflectance of a metal surface in air is given by:
Copper and gold are useful only in the red and IR spectral regions. For situations involving higher durability, less shiny metals are adequate. For example, rhodium is used for dental mirrors and chromium is used for rearview mirrors in cars.
Aluminum is fairly stable as a mirror, but silver tarnishes quickly unless kept in a dry, contamination-free environment. For example, a silver mirror that can last for months in Albuquerque, N.M., may degrade within a day in Orlando, Fla. If high reflectance is needed only beyond 0.6 or 0.7 μm, gold is a good choice because it is environmentally stable. However, even an unprotected aluminum or gold mirror cannot withstand cleaning with anything but the most gentle cotton ball or camel hair brush
A solution to degradation is overcoating the mirror with a dielectric material that is harder than the metal surface. A common overcoat material for visible mirrors is silicon monoxide (SiO). A mirror with a simple dielectric overcoat is called a protected metal mirror. Environmentally stable silver mirrors can be made by including various overcoat layers.
A broadband all-dielectric mirror can be made by combining two or more λ/4 stack reflectors with central wavelengths close enough together that the edges of the reflectance bands overlap. Such a mirror is durable and nonconductive and can have more than 99 percent reflectance over the entire visible spectrum. A mirror with such performance might involve as many as 100 layers. The buyer is left with the trade-off between the higher cost of a 100-layer mirror with 99+ percent reflectance and a much less expensive three- or four-layer enhanced aluminum mirror with about 97 percent reflectance.
A final word about optical figure: In cases where optical figure or flatness is important, choose a mirror with fewer layers. The figure of a surface that has been polished to 1/10 of a wavelength will not be adversely affected by a 1000-Å-thick aluminum layer that has thickness variations of several percent. However, a 100-layer coating with thickness variations of 2 percent across the surface (a typical coating uniformity tolerance) would distort the wavefront of the reflected beam by several wavelengths. Amateur astronomers who polish their own telescope mirrors — often to a surface accuracy of λ/10 — must be careful that the figure is not ruined by an aluminum coating with a protective layer that has poor uniformity.

Cantina Iris has masses of beautiful fragrant violet flag-like flowers with royal blue streaks at the ends of the stems in mid spring, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its sword-like leaves remain green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Cantina Iris is an herbaceous perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
Cantina Iris will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. The flower stalks can be weak and so it may require staking in exposed sites or excessively rich soils. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.


In case you haven't heard all of the commotion, Google officially announced Android 4.2 earlier today. We touched on some of the new features right after Google's announcement, but now that things have calmed down a bit, we can go into further depth. Read on to find out about some of the brand new features found in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, but before you do, prepare yourself – some of the new features are pretty awesome.
Easily two of the coolest features in Android 4.2 are Photo Sphere and gesture typing. We've already talked quite a bit about Photo Sphere, but the basic idea is that Android 4.2 lets you use the camera on your device to take awesome-looking 360-degree images. The video that Google's Hugo Barra posted earlier today makes the process of creating a Photo Sphere look relatively easy, and the best part is that the 360 images are constructed as JPEGs, making sharing with friends and on social networks painless. Have a look at the demo video below to get a better idea of what we're talking about.
Next we have gesture typing, which is looking to streamline the way we compose messages in a serious way. With gesture typing, you gain the ability to simply swipe your finger from letter to letter on the keyboard, lifting your finger once the word is completed. Once you do that, a space in the text will be inserted for you, meaning that you can go right back to typing the next word. Still not streamlined enough for you? No problem, as Android 4.2 will even attempt to fill in the rest of your sentence for you, suggesting words that might fit. That way, you could potentially type a few words and select the rest of the words in your sentence from a list of suggestions.
Photo Sphere and gesture typing are certainly exciting, but so are multiple user logins. Gone are the days of having only one Google account per device (on tablets at least), as Android 4.2 will allow tablet users to store multiple user accounts on their slate. Each user can have their own background image, home screens, and widgets, and all you need to do to switch between accounts is back out to the lock screen. Definitely a handy feature for households with more than one person using the same tablet.
Android 4.2 also features wireless display functionality, which we're thinking is a feature that will definitely get some positive attention. The best part is that you only need a wireless display adapter hooked up to your HDMI TV, and you're good to go. Once you've got the wireless display adapter set up, you're ready to begin mirroring content to your TV from any device running Android 4.2. It really couldn't get much simpler, which is why we think it's going to be such a big hit with Android users.
Next up we have Google Now, which is getting some updates with this latest Android release. Now you can track things like hourly weather and shipping information on incoming packages with Google Now. Users will also have the ability to check public transportation routes and arrival times using Google Now too. In the mood for a movie? Use Google Now to get information on the movies playing near you, and then go out and enjoy a night on the town.
Last but not least, we have notifications. In the drop down notifications menu, we now have a button for quick settings, which obviously let you change settings without having to dig through the app menu first. You'll have more options when it comes to individual notifications too – for instance, in the image below, the user is reminded of their daughter's piano recital, and has the ability to email everyone they've invited to the show right there in the notifications menu.
It seems that Android 4.2 is really trying to hit ease-of-use home, and this is only the beginning. We'll undoubtedly be finding out more about Android 4.2 in the coming days and weeks, so keep it tuned here to Android Community for more information. Keep in mind too that Android 4.2 will be running on the Samsung Nexus 10 and the LG Nexus 4 right out the box, so you've got something extra to look forward to if you're planning to purchase one of those devices!

A Kind of Return
Bishara Elmi and Luther Konadu
Curated by Alyssa Fearon
Doris McCarthy Gallery
Luther Konadu, Figure as Index, 2018, courtesy of the artist
A Kind of Return brings together projects by Bishara Elmi and Luther Konadu that offer nuanced reflections on interpersonal relationships within Black communities. Konadu is an emerging Winnipeg-based photographer who takes self-portraits and photographs of close friends and loved ones. The resulting images present the subjects on their own terms, and challenge dehumanizing representations that have long been associated with the Black body in photography. Elmi is a Toronto-based artist who addresses the tension between displacement and belonging within relationships, particularly as it relates to the Black queer and trans experience. Using fabric, text, and moving and still images, Elmi's work argues that the experiences of exile and marginalization can occur within the context of a relationship, not just from a physical location.
At their core, both projects ask: What role can relationships serve for those living in oppressed conditions? And how do those individuals find each other and build community? Elmi and Konadu explore their truths of what this means culturally and systemically, while complicating stereotypical and narrow representations of Black communities.
A Kind of Return is a Featured Exhibition in the 2019 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.

Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli To Exit Calvin Klein
The fashion house just announced a new global strategy.
By Lauren Alexis Fisher
Apr 19 2016, 12:46 pm EDT
Fashion's never-ending game of designer musical chairs continues, this time with things shaking up at Calvin Klein. The company announced today that it will be unifying all Calvin Klein Inc. brands under one creative vision with women's creative director Francisco Costa and men's creative director Italo Zucchelli both exiting their roles at the company. The major shakeup stems from the company's new global strategy following its reacquisition of Calvin Klein Jeans and Underwear back in 2013.
In the statement released today, Steve Shiffman, CEO of Calvin Klein, Inc. said, "This creative strategy marks the beginning of another significant chapter in Calvin Klein's brand legacy since Mr. Klein's retirement. I would like to thank Francisco and Italo for their unwavering commitment to the Calvin Klein brand and their accomplishments over the past decade. They have both contributed immensely to making Calvin Klein a global leader in the fashion industry, and they have done so with dedication, focus and creativity."
While it hasn't been formally announced who will take on the new role of creative director, it's rumored that Raf Simons, who made his exit from Dior back in October, is lined up for the position.

Roll Your Own SQL Server 2005 Database Diagrams
SQL Server 2005's out-of-the-box diagrams show only the relationships between tables—useful, but limited. Learn how to extend SQL Server 2005's database diagramming feature to produce full dependency diagrams.
by John Paul Cook
atabase diagrams are indispensable tools for understanding the structure of a complex database. SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 provide useful yet rudimentary diagrams that show only the relationships between tables. Some third-party diagramming solutions go beyond table relationships to show full dependencies between all objects in a database. Such dependencies diagrams provide powerful graphic representations that are very useful for performing impact analysis, the careful evaluation of the consequences of a change to a database object. For example, the impact of altering the structure of a database table is not limited to potentially affecting child tables with foreign key constraints. Views, stored procedures, and functions that refer to (depend on) the database table may have to be modified to match the revised table structure.
You can extend SQL Server 2005's database diagramming feature to produce full dependency diagrams by creating a companion database that you use only for creating dependency diagrams. You create a table in the diagramming database for every database object in the database of interest. For example, when you create a table in the diagramming database to represent a stored procedure in the database of interest, you can model the dependency between the stored procedure and a table by using a foreign key constraint.
A Standard Diagram Versus a Dependency Diagram
Figure 1 shows a portion of the AdventureWorks database using just the out-of-the-box diagramming capability of SQL Server 2005. I created the diagram by initially adding the Employee table from the HumanResources schema to the diagram. Next, I used the Add Related Tables option to add the remaining tables. Finally, I chose the Name Only option from the Table View submenu.
Figure 1. Standard Diagram of the Employee Table and All of Its Child Tables
The diagram is useful and clearly shows that seven tables in four schemas could be impacted by changes to the Employee table. While helpful, that information is only the tip of the iceberg. What about the views, triggers, stored procedures, and functions that also have dependencies on the Employee table? When considering changes, you need to see the entire picture to understand the full impact of a proposed change.
To see the full complexity of the database, you need a dependency diagram that shows all of the objects, not just the tables (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Enhanced Diagram of the Employee Table and All of Its Dependencies
Adding the dependencies to the database diagram reveals the full complexity of the database.

Spam is also known as junk email or unsolicited bulk email. Whatever name, it is spreading mayhem in the inbox.
The university is using the SUNET Mailfilter for all incoming and outgoing mail.
The antispam settings at the university were meant to be set at a reasonable level. If the rules are too tight we might miss proper mail. But it seems like the spam threshold has to be adjusted for the filter to catch the latest spam.
Open the SUNET Mailfilter and login at Uppsala University with your account.
Go to tab Quarantine Settings.
Change Spam threshold to about 5.
No mail that has been delivered to your account will be blocked. All that happens is that the mail is marked as spam and then automatically put in the Junk mail folder. Remember to check your junk mail folder once in a while.

Stein Assisted Living celebrates centenarians
By Special to NJJN	May 16, 2017, 12:00 am Edit
"Someone up there is taking care of me," said Mickey Mintz, 101.
THIS MONTH, in conjunction with National Older American's Month, Stein Assisted Living will celebrate seven residents who are all centenarians — individuals who have lived to at least 100 years old, more than 20 years longer than the average life span.
Myrtle Levy, one of the residence's centenarians, offered advice on how to live a long life. "Live with a clear conscience and treat others as you would like to be treated," she said, adding, "and don't forget to exercise and have some chutzpah."
Mickie Mintz, 101, suggested that "someone up there is taking care of me" and stressed the importance of having good relationships with family.
At Stein Assisted Living, the goal for all residents is to help individuals remain as independent as possible. The Georgia Centenarian Study, a well-known study of longevity and survival that took place from 1988 to 2009 at the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Georgia, reported that, "Contrary to the general picture of a frail individual at the end of life, we have found that 20 to 25 percent of centenarians are community-dwelling, cognitively intact and generally vibrant and full of life."
Family, friends, and staff have learned life lessons from these senior members of the community, and have learned how to best support them in return. Stein resident Roz Levy offered a piece advice to take to heart: "To live a long life, eat your fruits and vegetables. Try to get along with everyone. Stay around happy people and stay away from people and things that make you unhappy." Bobby Rosenstrauss suggested, "Live a quiet life, and when something bad happens, try your best to smile."
The centenarians' advice and words of wisdom are inspiring for all ages. As Stein resident Faye Bradus counseled, "Make the most of each day. Enjoy the blessings of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — they will sustain you."
Stein Assisted Living will host a celebration in honor of the centenarians and National Older American's Month on Friday, May 19, at 2:00 p.m. The event is open to the public and will include remarks by New Jersey Assemblyman Joe Danielsen. In addition each centenarian will receive 100 of their favorite snacks and a personalized singing telegram. The event will take place at Stein Assisted Living in Somerset. Contact jkott@wilfcampus.org or call 732-568-1155.

Via reddit, I found this interesting. I simply cannot see that fully automatic M14 being controllable by anyone, and by any stretch of the imagination. And why would you have a fully automatic M14 that is magazine-fed, only to interrupt fire to change magazines? To me, an M249 SAW (fed with drums) is a much better weapon for the purpose. On the other hand, if all you have is the M14 series of guns, having one capable of selective fire isn't a bad idea. It's just inferior to the SAW.

Q: Unable to autowire Spring Boot components while using factory pattern I'm not able to inject Environment dependencies in the classes that extend the base interface in a factory pattern. My architect advised me to pass the dependency through method parameters, but now the requirement has changed to add more dependencies. I don't feel comfortable in adding more parameters to the same function anymore. The parameter change in one function has to be updated in base interface along with all the classes implementing it. Please suggest a better way of solving this issue.
I tried to add more parameters in the function to accommodate new dependencies, but this doesn't look like a scalable and clean approach.
Taking the example of this NotifierFactory:

public interface Notification {
    void notifyUser();
}

public class SMSNotification implements Notification {

    @Override
    public void notifyUser()
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Sending an SMS notification");
    }
}

public class EmailNotification implements Notification {

    @Override
    public void notifyUser()
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Sending an e-mail notification");
    }
}

public class PushNotification implements Notification {

    @Override
    public void notifyUser()
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Sending a push notification");
    }
}

public class NotificationFactory {
    public Notification createNotification(String channel)
    {
        if (channel == null || channel.isEmpty())
            return null;
        switch (channel) {
        case "SMS":
            return new SMSNotification();
        case "EMAIL":
            return new EmailNotification();
        case "PUSH":
            return new PushNotification();
        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown channel "+channel);
        }
    }
}

public class NotificationService {
@Autowired
Environment env;
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        NotificationFactory notificationFactory = new NotificationFactory();
        Notification notification = notificationFactory.createNotification("SMS");
        notification.notifyUser();
    }
}

Now, say I need to use the Environment bean that is autowired in NotificationService inside notifyUser() method of EmailNotification class. If I try to do simple autowiring, the value of env is resolved to null. So the workaround I used was to pass env in notifiyUser() function like, notifyUser(env). The drawback of this approach is that now I need to change the definition of notifyUser() method in all classes implementing Notfication class, even though the env dependency is not used there. And in future, if I need to add more such dependencies, every time the function signature will change.

A: In your example env is null because you need to initialize spring boot first. For example this works:
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;

import jakarta.annotation.PostConstruct;

public class NotificationService {
    @Autowired
    Environment env;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(NotificationService.class, args);
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void testNotifications() {
        System.out.println(env);
        NotificationFactory notificationFactory = new NotificationFactory();
        Notification notification = notificationFactory.createNotification("SMS");
        notification.notifyUser();
    }
}

Now env is not null before creating NotificationFactory.

ApplicationEnvironment {activeProfiles=[],
defaultProfiles=[default],...
Sending an SMS notification

So now you can pass env to NotificationFactory/Notification.
If you do not want to pass env to notifyUser method you could also do autowiring manually. Here I pass DefaultListableBeanFactory that does the job on each created Notification:
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;

import jakarta.annotation.PostConstruct;

public class NotificationService {

    @Autowired
    private DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(NotificationService.class, args);
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void testNotifications() {
        NotificationFactory notificationFactory = new NotificationFactory(beanFactory);
        Notification notification = notificationFactory.createNotification("SMS");
        notification.notifyUser();
    }
}

public class NotificationFactory {
    private final DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory;

    public NotificationFactory(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
        this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
    }
    public Notification createNotification(String channel){
        if (channel == null || channel.isEmpty()) {
            return null;
        }
        final Notification notification;
        switch (channel) {
        case "SMS":
            notification = new SMSNotification();
            break;
        case "EMAIL":
            notification = new EmailNotification();
            break;
        case "PUSH":
            notification = new PushNotification();
            break;
        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown channel "+channel);
        }
        beanFactory.autowireBeanProperties(notification, AutowireCapableBeanFactory.AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME, false);
        return notification;
    }
}

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;

public class SMSNotification implements Notification {

    @Autowired
    Environment env;

    @Override
    public void notifyUser(){
        System.out.println("Sending an SMS notification " + env);
    }
}

This will print:

Sending an SMS notification ApplicationEnvironment {activeProfiles=[],
defaultProfiles=[default],
propertySources=[ConfigurationPropertySourcesPropertySource...

With this you can just autowire additional fields as needed without changing interface

Q: FireFox InvalidAccessError: A parameter or an operation is not supported by the underlying object Hi I have a really odd problem. We have a lot of users in our application and a single user is experiencing an issue I cannot replicate on any other machine (I've tested 7 machines, 2 Win10, 5 Macbooks, in both FF 42 and FF ESR).
InvalidAccessError: A parameter or an operation is not supported by the underlying object
getRule: function( aSelector ) {
    var rules = ( this._rules.cssRules ) ? this._rules.cssRules : this._rules.rules,
        rule = false,
        i, len;

    try {
        for ( i = 0, len = rules.length; i < len; i++ ) {
            if ( rules[ i ] && rules[ i ].selectorText == aSelector ) {
                rule = rules[ i ];
                break;
            }
        }
    } catch( ex ) { }

    return rule;
},

How I'm creating the stylesheet:
    this._container = document.createElement( 'style' );
    this._container.setAttribute( 'type', 'text/css' );
    this._container.setAttribute( 'rel', 'stylesheet' );
    this._container.setAttribute( 'media', 'all' );

    document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[ 0 ].appendChild( this._container );
    this._rules = document.styleSheets[ document.styleSheets.length - 1 ];

When it tries to access rules.length that error shows up but only for this one person. The CSS rules I'm accessing are rules I'm dynamically generating including the stylesheet tag itself (same domain so not a CORS issue).
Originally I didn't have the try/catch and adding it didn't help. During testing this user did have NoScript installed which is what I thought was the problem but they have since removed it. They said they've tested multiple machines and it happens on them all but I can't replicate it on any machine I've tried.
What else could cause this message? Are there any browser settings that could cause this? Or addons? I've asked them to uninstall all addons and refresh FireFox and neither helped.

The Countryside Alliance's Shot for the Pot campaign is a marvellous way to induct new 'gamers' and invigorate longstanding lovers with ideas on how to eat, prepare and cook those all things gamey. Having embraced a countryside lifestyle and very much been at the heart of a huntin', shootin', fishin' way of living in recent months, I jumped at the chance to write for Shot for the Pot week and set about creating a recipe in homage to a delicious and free range source of meat.
Knowing relatively little about shooting and game birds before Jerry and I took the plunge to move from town to country, I have found myself learning an awful lot about pens, pegs, 'pheasies' and mostly how not to enrage local gamekeepers as the owner of a lively working cocker spaniel puppy. The weekly pop pop pop of gunshot in the air and the Range Rovers driven by men in their tweedy best are a source of wonder to me and I am always on the lookout for their spoils picked up and sold on by local game dealers. A sight I shan't forget in a hurry this autumn is one of a gamekeeper's Gator with a vast number of partridge hung under the canvas in the back en route to the table of the local landowner. In fact, it reminds me still of my first encounter with a gamebird up close and personal….a bird in the hand one could say, dear Reader.
On an early morning walk along our bridleway, Monty, our cocker pup, spied a wee little partridge sitting under a tree and not moving. An injured bird is sadly rather a sitting duck (excuse the pun) for an untrained gundog puppy and I am ashamed to admit that before I even had the chance to get in there first, Monty picked it and wouldn't let me have it. Spaniel well and truly chastised, I wrestled the poor bird from his jaws and naively, was hoping to send it on its merry way after a quick once over. However, the terrified little thing took one look at me and promptly breathed its last in my hand. I was then faced with a dilemma which only a townie would have deliberated over…..what ought I to do with the bird? It was past a trip to the vet and I couldn't take it home as my girls would have cried at the sight of the dead bird and been appalled at the thought of it being hung in the laundry room in readiness for the pot. So I placed it down gently at the edge of the first field I came to, knowing full well that our local pair of red kites would probably spy it and have a good luncheon. Guilt remained with me for the rest of the walk but on my return back towards the bridleway, the red legged chap had disappeared. Terrified that I was going to be in serious trouble with the gamekeepers who have a fierce attitude towards the local villagers and their dogs, I was grateful to the kites for clearing up the scene of the crime.
It would seem that I am not the only one who has a few teething problems with gundogs and gamebirds. The very next day I set out with Monty on our daily romp towards the woods when I was greeted by the head gamekeeper and his dogs. He was checking the pegs for the day's shooting and had his two Labradors trotting in tow. I called out to him to ask if I was alright to carry on my walk and he yelled back his morning greeting and said that all was well. With Monty firmly on his lead (I am proud to say that I never flout the rule of dogs on leads on the shooting estate as it seems so unreasonable to do so when so much effort seems to go into prepping for a shoot), I continued. As I narrowed the gap between us and the gamekeeper with his excitable black bruisers, I caught sight of his dogs flushing out a young male pheasant and then with the bird firmly between nashers, chasing off towards their boss! Monty watched with considerable excitement and started barking rather loudly! Gripping Monty's lead firmly, I greeted a rather embarrassed gamekeeper who had promptly snatched hold of said dog with pheasant clamped to his jaws. He then proceeded to hold an entirely brief conversation with me with the bird pointlessly hidden behind his back, desperate for me not to have noticed. I'm afraid I couldn't resist cracking a joke about swapping his 'well behaved' dogs for my jaunty spaniel pup! He was puce with embarrassment and then mumbled something about going back to his car for something he had forgotten. We said our goodbyes……me giggling to myself all the way to the woods! In fact, it raises a smile even now!
Heat a skillet or deep pan, adding a lump of butter and a splash of olive oil. When the butter has started to sizzle, then add the partridge to the pan, spooning over the butter. Fry until the outsides are golden in colour. Place on a plate to one side to rest whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
Set your oven to temperature 200 degrees centigrade for an electric/fan oven, gas mark or be ready to add to the hot oven of your Aga, Rayburn or Everhot.
Into the pan, add the diced quince and bacon along with a tiny knob of butter to prevent them sticking to the bottom of the pan. Fry until the quince has taken on a good colour and the bacon is on its way to being crispy. Then deglaze the pan with the Pomona and set alight with a match to burn off the alcohol. Do watch hair and eyebrows with this one! Once the liquid has had a good sizzle and the flames have died down, add the partridge back to the pan along with the white wine.
Place the pan into the oven and roast for 10 minutes – any longer and the partridge has a tendency to be as tough as old boots I think. Once the 10 minutes are up, lift the partridge out of the pan and place on a plate, under a blanket of foil. The birds need to rest and you can then crack on with finishing the sauce in the meantime.
Heat the liquid in the pan and allow to simmer gently, adding the mustard and cream. Cook down for a minute or two until the sauce has thickened a touch. I like to wilt a little spinach into the sauce but feel free to omit or cook some greenery to serve as an accompaniment.
Place the birds back into the pan and spoon a little of the sauce over them to coat them in mustardy, creamy quince and bacon goodness.
Jerry and I snaffled these with a good hunk of bread to mop up the sauce but you could easily serve with mashed potato or indeed, a healthy portion of polenta.
Easy as pie so do give gamebirds a go and make sure you have a look at all the wonderful recipes and 'how to' guides on the Shot for the Pot website too. I'm off to track down some venison next as Jerry has a hankering for a good game pie. Wonder if I could have a word with the gamekeeper's labs to see if they could bag me a deer…..?!

Still, Romney was the GOP's best chance at stealing the White House back. Romney's competition was a whack job like Paul, a worse whack job like Santorum (day what you will about America being pissed off at capitalism; they would have swallowed a hardcore capitalist before choking down a fundie) and a blowhard like Gingrich. Everyone else in the field was a complete long shot and had no real chance, and the other three (Gingrich, Santorum, Paul) would have all been destroyed by Obama, far worse than Mr. 47% did.
The GOP's only hope was to run someone who wasn't a front-runner. All four of the leaders, and just about everyone else in the field, was a guaranteed loser.
Their best candidate would have been Tim Pawlenty, probably with Mike Huckabee or something as his running mate to get the clerico-fascist right out to vote. It would have been a tighter race, although Obama would have likely won reelection anyway.

I don't know much about Pawlenty, but he didn't seem to have much of a chance in that election - more of a chance than any other outsider but a tough sell anyway. And yes, a strong Christian as VP who isn't a blatant fascist or blithering fuckstick like Palin was probably the best choice for VP in that case.

Let's look at Ron Paul's showing in the primaries in what would be the four decisive states four years later:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries
(1) Florida
Romney 46%
Gingrich 32%
Santorum 13%
Paul 7%
(2) Michigan
Paul 12%
Gingrich 7%
(3) Wisconsin
(4) Pennsylvania
I'm sorry, that doesn't look like a strong candidate to me...
overoceans
I pretty much agree with everything that's been written here, but just to play Devil's Advocate, would it be possible for the GOP to re-brand Paul as a traditional conservative? I'm thinking of how Trump(and again, no current politics, but he's the closest parallel) came out as "very neutral" in regards to the status of Jerusalem(making him to the left of "Barack Hussein Obama" on that issue), declared gay marriage a closed debate, said that Caitlin Jenner could use whatever washroom she wanted at Trump Towers, yet still managed to win enough conservative votes(ESPECIALLY from the religious-right types) that, combined with the economic desperados in the Rust Belt, he pulled off his EC majority.
And when you think about it, all Paul really has to do is drop the drug-legaiization thing, and not be so hard on Israel and the War On Terror. I think the rest of his hyperlibertarian agenda would fit well with traditional GOP voters, even if they wouldn't, in practice, support eliminating all those social programs. A lot of them can probably be convinced that he only means "get black people off welfare" or "no social-security for Mexicans". Push comes to shove, he can just say "My views have evolved, and I won't make a move on the safety-net unless I have support from You The People."

; they would have swallowed a hardcore capitalist before choking down a fundie
Not to go too deep into this, but these things are not even approaching exclusive to each other. The evangelical church in the United States is as capitalist as anything else. The prosperity gospel is practically window dressing for institutional poverty and wage slavery.

I think abortion would be a potential sticking point. He's against it, but also against the federal government weighing in on the matter, and supports contraception. He could easily face attacks for not being assertive enough in protecting right to life.
Obama. Easily.
Bourbonic Plague
I think the events that could lead to Ron Paul winning the primaries (improbable) would lead to Ron Paul winning the General election. A war in Iran I feel, would be the only way for Ron Paul to win the Primary and General.
TRH said:
But I think he could just say that he favours leaving it up to the states, and would nominate SCOTUS justices who agree with that, IOW his judges would overturn Roe v. Wade. And that would be good enough for about 90% of the anti-abortion crowd.
I know there's something somewhere about the GOP actually supporting a pro-life amendment to the US constitution at the federal level, but I've never had the impression that that's a sine qua non for most pro-life voters, and it seems to be something that most of their presidential candidates just ignore, focusing instead on the aforementioned All Power To The States position.

If Paul wins, there is no bailout of Wall Street at all which causes a low level global depression
2008 was far from a Depression, and lack of tossing free money at the Banksters would not cause a Recession to get anywhere near what 1929
Would Corporations crash?
They would go bankrupt, and then would get bought up at their true value- what other investors were willing to pay for the bones.
Banks Crash, yes, the 1% would tak a bath, but most of the 99% would be covered by FDIC insurance
When the 99% still have money, they will want to buy things, and businesses will supply that demand.
Tjakari said:
True, and true, but my point is this - Romney was a capitalist first to most people. Santorum was a fundie first to most people. Romney has a better chance because of it.
Also, while Romney could possibly have won if he played his cards better and rolled sixes a few times when he didn't OTL, he became the first casualty of the 21st century notion of "you're always talking to the world." He thought he was talking just to wealthy backers - then someone recorded the 47% speech, and it was a significant factor in his defeat being as pronounced as it was.

HSUS loses charity accreditation
The Humane Society of the United States has lost its accreditation by the charity arm of the Better Business Bureau. This action follows the resignations, earlier this year, by former CEO Wayne Pacelle and vice president Paul Shapiro.
The news of this loss was reported to walking horse industry leaders late last week by a report from a Pennsylvania newspaper, The County Press. Celebration CEO Mike Inman said the accreditation loss served as a strong action against the HSUS.
"The fact that the HSUS has been spending approximately only 1 percent of the hundreds of millions of dollars it raises has been its little secret for some time," said Inman, in response to the Report's request for comment about the news release. "The fact that these details along with a culture of mistreatment of employs have hit the light of day via these losses of accreditation. This should be very eye-opening to HSUS donors and those politicians who are on record supporting this organization."
The BBB's charity-accreditation arm, the Wise Giving Alliance, suspended the HSUS's status following an action by Charity Navigator to downgrade the HSUS' to two stars out of four, also poorly ranking the HSUS for being financially unwise, according to the news release referenced by Inman. The report also stated Animal Charity Evaluators, which recommends animal-rights non-profits, has also pulled its approval of the HSUS.
Pacelle's resignation, which came in February, followed allegations of multiple sexual harassment complaints against the former CEO.
"While the BBB hasn't issued a statement for the removal of HSUS's accreditation, it's widely assumed that the HSUS board's initial decision to retain Pacelle after its internal investigation turned up several credible accusations of sexual harassment was the impetus for BBB WGA to initiate a review," the report, written by Farm News Media, stated.
Additionally, the report references Animal Charity Evaluators' unprecedented action to formally rescind its 2016 standout recommendation of the HSUS's Farm Animal Protection Campaign, citing concerns "regarding the lack of 'strong, ethical leadership and a healthy work environment to be critical components of an effective charity.'"
Inman said the walking horse industry will continue to follow the story closely.
"As an industry, we will be watching closely the damage control that is going on at HSUS and see if it affects in any way their efforts to eliminate our horse and other animal agriculture," Inman concluded.


Many of us have used a FuelBelt in our training and racing over the years. It's a vital part of many triathletes gear pack. On this months show we have an interview with the inventor and CEO of FuelBelt, Vinu Malik. Vinu shares his story about how FuelBelt started and how it has grown over the years, he also shares some of his many athletic experiences.

These FuelBelt are assigned to you for the security reasons. At the time of your training, you may be suffering with wounds. But with this belt the injuries can be minimized. I think all the casual drivers should also use them while they are driving.

Flag Flown High – Best Of Bobby Digital's Roots Productions
CD (Item 753699) Maximum Pressure (UK), 1990s — Condition: Used
Maximum Pressure (label)
Reggae (CD, LP)
Jamaican music, like classic R & B, has always been a producer-driven music, and remains so to this day. Bobby Digital Dixon has stepped up in the 90s to assume the role played in the past by greats like the Hookims or Bunny Lee, while also taking on the mantle of passed down by his mentor King (formerly Prince) Jammy. Clearly the foremost producer in Jamaican music for the last decade, this compilation put together by the folks at Pressure Sounds under their new side label Maximum Pressure focuses on the highlights of his work, and in doing so is a showcase for just about every important contemporary Jamaican singing and dee jay talent. Rather than having to wade through a couple dozen 12 inches each of the hottest rhythms, this compilation brings together the cream of the crop: 19 awesome Digital B tracks, including Garnett Silk's "Mystic Chant", Shabba Rank's "Heart of A Lion", Sizzla's "Good Ways", Louie Culture's "Fire Bun", and "Every Knee Shall Bow" by Garnett Silk, Cocoa Tee & Charlie Chaplin. © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.

After a great two years with the magazine, I'm afraid the time has come for me to step down as Editor-in-Chief here at Digital Web. It has been great fun and very rewarding, and I have met some fantastic people both online and in person, but I have decided that I want to spend more time next year on both personal projects and watching my children grow up. My thanks to Nick Finck for giving me this opportunity, and to Tiff, Walker, and the other staff for all their help — without our dedicated volunteers, the magazine would not be able to keep churning out such great content each week.
Keep an eye on this news feed for a special announcement from our founder, Nick Finck, on where Digital Web will be heading in 2009.
Thanks for helping craft a great magazine over the past couple of years.
Matthew, you've done an AMAZING job, and helped build this up into something wonderful. Congrats on a great job, and for building a legacy that any new editor can run with.
We're really going to miss you man. Please keep in touch!
Matthew, it's been an honor to work with you…though I think I said that over IM at 1 a.m./9 a.m. each Wednesday of the last two years as you helped me answer last minute style and layout questions for our articles. Only transcripts would know for sure, so I'm noting it here. I know this was a difficult decision for you, but it's the right one. Take care, and rest assured I'll still occasionally bug you on IM way too early in your mornings, just for old time's sake.


Money manager Mario J. Gabelli has donated $3 million to endow a Boston College professorship, and Alan Marcus will be the first professor to occupy the Gabelli chair in finance at BC's Carroll School of Management.
A Fordham University graduate with an MBA from Columbia University, Gabelli is the father of four BC graduates, a longtime BC benefactor, and a member of BC's board of trustees.
He has funded the construction of a dormitory, and in 2002, the Gabelli Foundation made a $10 million gift to endow the Gabelli Distinguished Presidential Scholars Fund.
Marcus became a BC finance professor in 1991.
His research interests include derivatives and securities markets.
