2016 Buick Regal firmly believes hitting the market once it becomes available on the market since the predecessor did the same. Moreover, at that time, the sedan market is now increased demand. With this condition, it would be good for the company to offer this 2016 Buick Regal as its best product to customers. The company, Buick is scheduled to launch this new version soon by examining certain aspects.
From the outside, the 2016 Buick Regal sedan looks chic and elegant. The body has a few European touches mostly taken his twin Opel Insignia is sold only in Europe. At the front, the 4-door sedan has the waterfall grille signature. The grille is flanked on both sides by newly designed LED projectors. The vehicle has a low roofline, unlike most of its competitors. To increase its sportiness, the automaker pushed its wheels in the corners .The base model runs on alloy wheels of 18 inch front and rear 17 inches, while the upper ornaments mounted 19 inches alloy wheels 20 inches at the rear and front. On the sides of the vehicles mirrors have integrated turn signals.
Inside, the 2016 Buick Regal sedan features an elegant cabin that is similar to the top of the range models sedans. The cabin can seat five passengers. However, the back is a bit limited and tall passengers will find themselves rubbing his head on the ceiling. The leather is the standard upholstery. The front seats are electrically adjustable to 12 positions. The GS features front sports seats. The vehicle also has a wheel wrapped tilt and telescopic leather. An 8-inch color touch screen that comes with the car IntelliLink infotainment system also included. Other features include an audio system 7 speakers (Premium II GS settings and get a Bose Premium audio system 9 speakers) with integrated USB ports. Both audio systems are controlled via a 4.2-inch touch screen. The GS Premium II and also feature a built-in GPS navigation system with OnStar voice recognition technology built. Other features include the temperature control zone two and a rearview camera. Upper trims add the steering wheel heating, garage door remote control, parking sensors and keyless start. On security issues, the vehicle has a number; stability and traction control, 4-wheel ABS, post-collision safety system, side airbags mounted airbags for the rear head, an alarm system remotely and DRL. More features are the highest settings; including blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, Cross Traffic Alert, Collision Warning before and adaptive cruise control.
Although there is a rumor that the car will get notice, the company has not yet confirmed especially around the plant. It is mentioned that the new 2016 Buick Regal comes with two engine options to offer. First, is supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder power delivering about 259 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, while the second option is a hybrid combination with the four-cylinder 2.4-liter turbo engine and an electric.
The base 2016 Buick Regal has an MSRP of $ 27.065, excluding destination charges prices. The bonus starts at $ 28.990 I for one and $ 31 FWD, 415 all-wheel drive, while the hybrid starts at $ 35.250.

Q: How to make a Text Box maximum and minimum I can't figure out how to make a textbox only able to show like numbers between 1-1000.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
    private void tbInvoerEuros1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        char ch = e.KeyChar;

        if (!Char.IsDigit(ch) && ch !=46)
        {
            e.Handled = true;
        }

A:
I can't figure out how to make a textbox only able to show like numbers between 1-1000. Can someone help me with this?

The easiest way is to switch to a NumericUpDown control, which has Minimum, Maximum, and Interval, and Decimals properties.  You can also have scroll buttons and allow the user to type in the values, which are automatically validated.
Since you must use a textbox here is one way that handles the Validating event and notifies the user of invalid input and returns the focus back to the textbox.
    private void TextBox1_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
    {
        double input;
        if(double.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out input))
        {
            if(input < 1 || input > 1000)
                e.Cancel = true;
            else
                e.Cancel = false;
        }
        else
            e.Cancel = true;
        if(e.Cancel)
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid input!");
    }

To create and register the handler, click on the events icon in the property grid for the textbox.  Double-Click Validating and use this code inside the stub that gets written.

I was sitting in my office this morning and reflecting over the wonderful Easter weekend we had at NewSpring Church. Each moment that I recalled was connected to either a volunteer or staff member who went beyond the normal to make a big impact on the lives of others. I had several parents come up to me to say "thanks" for what we do for kids. One comment was, "It is mind blowing to me what you do for kids!" Another comment from a dad who drives all the way from Lawrence, Kansas said, "What you people do for kids is unparalleled to any other ministry. We try to come as much as we can but with our work we can't make it as much as we would like. If we happen to come to Wichita during the week my kids beg me to drive by the church to make sure we aren't having services." We had 124 first time guests in KidzWorld and over 2700 in KidzWorld this weekend! Doesn't that make you shout for joy? Most churches don't see that in a year but God has blessed NewSpring with an open door to our community and we should celebrate it! Overall we had over 12,000 people attend one of the 6 services over the weekend and 53 adults prayed to receive Christ. In 252 Theater we know of 10 kids that made a life-changing decision!
Thank you for making such an impact on south-central Kansas. We couldn't have pulled it off without our amazing volunteers alongside us. Many of you worked 2,3,4…some of you 6 services to make sure we could handle the crowds at every hour. KidzWorld Staff is so blessed to have such an army of dedicated volunteers who go beyond the normal to make an eternal impact!
Now it doesn't stop here! Many of the people who came the first time this weekend will come again. We are reaching out by phone and mail to each new family and inviting them back to NewSpring. We want to make sure that we "set the table" properly each and every week so the message of God's love is clear to every boy and girl that comes into our environments. Some of you volunteers might be feeling a sense that you would like to step up even more in your area and take on new responsibilities. If that is you talk to the ministry leader in your area. They would love to have a conversation about that with you.
Thank you for your service and willingness to impact others for Christ!

Q: How to use links to local server as href in Django? I want to have links that are clickable . That link is a path in a server.
Example:
file:///I:/IT/Install/Winrar/
SO far I have my view code:
def installables_available(request):
    install_path = r'I:/IT/Install/'
    list_setup = os.listdir(install_path)
    full_path = [os.path.join(install_path, item) for item in list_setup]
    return render(request, 'generic/installables.html', {'full_path': full_path})

And the html looks like:

    <title>All Installables</title>

Below are all setups available

        {% for name in full_path %}

 {{name}}

        {% endfor %}

Thanks for visiting my site.

I do get the page showing links but , If I click them, they don't do anything. But hovering on them shows the correct path i.e e.g file:///I:/IT/Install/Winrar/.

SpaceX CRS-15 Mission Overview
The International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory is enabling a new era of research in space aimed at improving life on Earth. The SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services (CRS)-15 mission is slated for launch no earlier than June 29, 2018, carrying multiple ISS National Lab payloads.
The SpaceX CRS-15 mission includes a variety of payloads representing diverse science investigations, ranging from the life and physical sciences to Earth observation and remote sensing, as well as educational experiments intended to engage and excite the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Below are highlights of sponsored ISS National Lab investigations that are part of the SpaceX CRS-15 mission:
University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany)
PI: Tobias Steinpilz
The main objective of the experiment is to investigate the impact of collisional charge separation of small, 0.5mm-sized glass spheres on the aggregation process of larger clusters. The research will help to explain how larger aggregates can grow during the planet formation process. It will also help to understand the fundamental behavior of charge separation, which is important to explain electric and volcanic storms.
Hardware Partner: NanoRacks, in collaboration with Education Partner DreamUp
Barrios PCG
Barrios Technology
PI: Lawrence J. DeLucas
This experiment seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of conducting protein-crystal-growth experiments in real time on the ISS. Astronauts will add solutions to the hardware, observe the crystals that form, and adjust for follow-on experiments. This approach gives scientists the ability to optimize crystal growth in orbit instead of waiting for samples to return and then launching again with modified conditions. Scientists crystallize proteins to see how molecules are structured, which can provide new information about how they work in the body and how drugs can be developed to treat human diseases.
Hardware Partner: NanoRacks
BCATS-CS Quantifying Cohesive Sediment Dynamics for Advanced Environmental Modeling
PI: Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz
The first of many National Science Foundation payloads that will be launching to station, this investigation will study forces between particles that cluster together. The physical system studied consists of sediments of quartz and clay particles. By conducting the research on the ISS, it is possible to separate the forces acting on the particles over a short range (adhesive forces) versus those acting over a long range (cohesive forces). In microgravity, investigators can observe how particles cluster over long time scales without gravitational settling, which complicates measurements taken on Earth. The quartz/clay system is commonly found in a wide variety of environmental settings (such as rivers, lakes, and oceans) and plays an important role in technological efforts related to deep-sea hydrocarbon drilling and carbon-dioxide sequestration.
Hardware Partner: Zin Technologies
BioScience-8-Gene Control Prime-EPICON
PI: Oliver Ullrich
This investigation analyzes human immune cells to identify microgravity-induced regulation of gene expression by epigenetics, heritable changes that do not alter DNA sequence. Knowing how gravity alters normal cell function through epigenetics contributes to both better mediation of space-related immunological effects and improved understanding of the fundamental functions of mammalian immune cells, providing insight into how to address problems associated with altered immune function on Earth.
Hardware Partner: STaARS
DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS)
German Space Agency
PI: David Krutz
The German Space Agency (DLR) Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) investigation verifies and enhances the use of space-based Earth-imaging capabilities in the hyperspectral range (i.e., from the visual to near infrared spectrum). DESIS produces high-value imagery for Teledyne Brown Engineering commercial purposes. Requested images are collected and transferred to the Multiple User System for Earth Sensing (MUSES) server onboard the ISS for delivery to a hosted cloud that provides users with access. The instrument has a number of commercial and humanitarian applications.
Hardware Partner: Teledyne Brown Engineering
Domesticating Algae for Sustainable Production of Feedstocks in Space (Space Algae)
PI: Mark Settles
This investigation seeks to engineer microalgae for growth in microgravity to understand the genetic basis of rapid biomass increase and high-value compound production. A long-term goal is to domesticate and engineer algae for optimal production of biomass feedstocks in space while consuming waste carbon dioxide. Although there is great promise in developing algae into a feedstock for chemical or food production, relatively few algae-growth studies have been conducted in space. Algae can also produce high-value compounds that can be used to develop important refined products (such as health-related, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical products). Abiotic stress from the growth environment can increase production of these high-value compounds in algae. Microgravity, which could be perceived as an abiotic stress, may induce the production of such compounds.

Endothelial Cells in Microgravity as a Model System for Evaluation of Cancer Therapy Toxicity
Angiex Cancer Therapy
PI: Shou-Ching Jaminet
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. and is expected to surpass heart disease as the leading killer by 2030. Angiex will evaluate the hypothesis that microgravity-cultured endothelial cells represent a valid model system for the effects of vascular-targeted agents on normal blood vessels. If the hypothesis is validated, study results will potentially enable Angiex's drug to be designed for lower toxicity and will create an important model system for testing of any vascular drug. Angiex's therapy targets both the tumor vasculature and tumor cells. Because nearly all cancers require growth of a distinct vasculature to enable tumor growth, Angiex's drug may potentially treat over 90% of all cancers.
Hardware Partner: Bioserve
Flumias-DEA
PI: Rainer Treichel
The mission objective of Flumias DEA is to demonstrate technology for miniaturized fluorescence microscopy in space by observing two scientific samples in a temperature-controlled environment. One sample is of fixed dead cells and the second sample is of live cells. This investigation is hoping to pave the way for a much more complex mission in which results could provide a foundation for a scalable and powerful fluorescence microscope for in-orbit 3D imaging of biological samples.
Growth of Assorted Microgreens in Microgravity
Magnitude.io
PI: Ted Tagami
This experiment demonstrates modular, autonomous, and retrievable crop research in space by contributing to the understanding of plant cultivation in service of food oxygen and other habitat requirements on long term space missions. This experiment also provides insight on plant grown under unusual conditions and can inform crop science basic biology and horticultural applications on Earth.
Made In Space Fiber Optics-3
Made In Space
PI: Jan Clawson
High-performance optical fiber has been extensively used for efficient and compact ultraviolet, visible, and infrared fiber lasers due to its low intrinsic loss, wide transparency window, and small phonon energy. This technology enables advances in many different sectors, including medical devices such as laser scalpels and endoscopes, sensors for the aerospace and defense industry, and telecommunications applications. The optical fiber ZBLAN has the potential to far exceed the performance of other fibers in common use. Researchers have previously demonstrated microgravity as effective at eliminating imperfections in ZBLAN fibers, and Made In Space plans to develop and send their optical fiber production facility to the ISS to produce ZBLAN fibers in space. This will be the third iteration of Made In Space leveraging station to produce ZBLAN fibers in microgravity conditions.
Hardware Partner: Made In Space
Megachile rotundata Proprioception and Flight Patterns in Microgravity
Higher Orbits
PI: Michelle Lucas
The objective of this experiment is to observe the behavior and flight patterns of alfalfa leaf cutting bees (Megachile rotundata) in the microgravity environment. These bees are efficient pollinators though they are solitary and do not build colonies or store honey. Data to be examined during the life of the experiment includes flight patterns, feeding behavior, proprioception, general locomotion, and any morphological changes. Better understanding the behavior and physiological changes of bees in space has practical application in the future of horticulture and agriculture on Earth and in space.
Microgravity Crystal Growth for Improvement in Neutron Diffraction
PI: Timothy Mueser
Salmonella is a food-borne pathogen that primarily affects infants and young children. Inhibition of growth and the elimination of Salmonella contamination are vital for the food industry. This investigation seeks to use microgravity to produce larger and higher-quality crystals of three medically relevant proteins for neutron diffraction, with an aim to improve the structure determination of the proteins. Improved structure determination could help control Salmonella contamination in the food industry, aid in the development of compounds to help monitor treatment progress in patients with heart or liver disease, and provide insight into how DNA repair could be optimized to prevent diseases caused by damage to DNA.
Hardware Partner: Bionetics Corp.
NanoRacks-ISS-HEIST

The ISS Hyperspectral Earth Imaging System Trial (ISS-HEIST) will utilize the NanoRacks External Platform (NREP) on the ISS to operate a compact hyperspectral sensor system for commercial Earth observation. Satellite-based hyperspectral imaging provides timely, cost-effective, and noninvasive global monitoring capabilities. For defense, hyperspectral technology can provide plume, camouflage, and target detection along with space situational awareness, which is especially useful in denied areas of access. Hyperspectral data sets can be utilized to detect chemical weapon signatures, identify military resources and troop movement, and aid with relief efforts. Satellites with hyperspectral sensors allow users to obtain global data sets with minimum resources.

This investigation aims to show the functionality of a ferrofluid pump in a microgravity environment. The term "ferrofluid" describes a fluid which, under the influence of a magnetic field, acquires magnetic properties and can thus be manipulated by using magnets. The pump itself works without any moving components and instead uses the interaction between the ferrofluid and electromagnets. Through specific activation and deactivation of the electromagnets, the ferrofluid drops can be moved in different ways both over a surface as well as through a pipe system. In the meantime, the dynamic process will be observed by cameras for later analysis. Many applications on Earth would benefit from a low-wear/low-maintenance pump with extended operational lifetime. By documenting magnetic fluid performance under unusual conditions of microgravity, PAPELL advances understanding of these systems and how they can be used.
Qucopartex – Precious (QUANTUM)
Aurora Group
PI: Matija Bericic
This experiment tests the effects of a cosmic environment on gold, quartz, beryl, and opal. The materials are maintained onboard the ISS for 3–5 years in order to expose the various solid materials to a space environment and allow the infusion of high-energy cosmic particles. Upon return, the materials undergo physical, chemical, and biological tests to determine significant differences on their deterioration, loss in stability, and entropy gain from exposure to a cosmic environment. ISS samples are compared to Earth samples and also underground samples, which have less cosmic particle exposure.
Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP) Student Investigations
National Center for Earth and Space Science Education
PI: Jeff Goldstein
SSEP will be sending 30 different student investigations to the ISS as part its fourteenth flight opportunity: SSEP Mission 12. Student teams from across the U.S. have designed their own experiments using flight-approved fluids and materials.


Once states or jurisdictions accept the HiSET® program, they are given access to a secure HiSET account for states and agencies. With this account, they can view and download scores for test takers in their state.
To maintain the integrity of the HiSET online system, ETS works with the states and jurisdictions to identify HiSET test center staff whom the state authorizes to receive test materials at the individual test centers.

Tension as Saraki, Dogara lose patience with Buhari over Budget
By Post Nigeria April 21, 2016 12:59
BREAKING: Donald Duke Gets Disqualified From The 2019 Elections, As New SDP Presidential Candidate Emerges From The North, To Defeat Buhari 0 14.Dec
BREAKING: 'President' Atiku Abubakar Delivers Groundbreaking Speech, Shakes The Entire Nation, Today 0 19.Feb
Examples of MLA Details in a Essay 0 01.Dec
Sequel to President Muhammadu Buhari's resolve not to assent to the 2016 budget until grey areas are sorted out, the leadership of the National Assembly has allegedly agreed to compel the President to append his signature on the appropriation bill.
Buhari on return from China last week, was shocked when the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh and his team discovered fresh 386 "strange" projects worth N12.6 billion, alleged to have been inserted in the Budget by the National Assembly.

The is coming following the discovery by the Federal Executive Council, FEC, that the Lagos-Calabar rail project was removed from the 2016 budget, an allegation the legislators have debunked, saying that it was not appropriated from the original budget transmitted to the House.
According to sources who attended a meeting held last night, the leadership of both chambers have resolved that the President will be obliged to sign the budget in view of the need to address the continuous economic pandemonium in the country.

The sources added, that the legislative heads equally agreed to honor any amendment from the President through a supplementary budget, assuring its expedient consideration by the Legislature.
The delay in the passage of the budget 4 months into the 2016 fiscal year, has been reported to have affected every segment of the Nigerian economy as many companies have folded up, while others have turned their faces to neighbouring African countries where the business climate is favourable.
It has also been reported that under Buhari, the nation has experienced 3 quarters of negative growths, although the President and the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun have assured Nigerians that the government will get it right when issues of the 2016 budget are addressed and passed.
While some economic analysts are against the delay in the assent of the budget, others are of the view that Nigeria needs to get it right and that the President should take his time before signing the budget.
With the crisis un-abating, Post-Nigeria had reported that the President has invariable earned himself a famous award in the Guinness book record.

Q: Parsing week of year to datetime objects with pandas      A    B    C     D yearweek
0  245   95   60    30  2014-48
1  245   15   70    25  2014-49
2  150  275  385   175  2014-50
3  100  260  170   335  2014-51
4  580  925  535  2590  2015-02

6  425   90  905  1085  2015-04
7  210  670  655   945  2015-05

The last column contains the the year along with the weeknumber. Is it possible to convert this to a datetime column with pd.to_datetime?
I've tried:
pd.to_datetime(df.yearweek, format='%Y-%U')

0   2014-01-01
1   2014-01-01
2   2014-01-01
3   2014-01-01
4   2015-01-01
5   2015-01-01
6   2015-01-01
7   2015-01-01
Name: yearweek, dtype: datetime64[ns]

But that output is incorrect, while I believe %U should be the format string for week number. What am I missing here?

A: You need another parameter for specify day - check this:
df = pd.to_datetime(df.yearweek.add('-0'), format='%Y-%W-%w')
print (df)
0   2014-12-07
1   2014-12-14

We all love to tune in to a morning TV show every once in a while, right?
But have you ever noticed the running theme that seems to occur on those famous breakfast show sofas?
>Can you spot what EVERYONE has been talking about?
The internet has been thrown into a debate about sexism, after noticing that male presenters seem to appear on the left-hand side of the sofa.
The conversation began after BBC Breakfast viewers noticed that seasoned newsreader Louise Minchin took the right-hand spot, with her juniour colleague Dan Walker taking 'camera left'.
Well, the left is seen as the more 'dominant' spot, because when we, the viewers, watch television our eyes naturally pan from left to right. It's the same as reading a page of a book. So this automatically means that we're seeing the man first.
It seems to happen a lot, with Piers and Susanna following the pattern on Good Morning Britain.
Hmm. Once you spot it, it's hard not to keep seeing it everywhere.
Since the attention (dubbed #SofaGate on social media), many TV shows seem to be mixing things up – hoorah!
In fact, Holly Willoughby seems to be a fan of nabbing the left-hand spot on ITV's This Morning.
On the BBC's The One Show, Alex Jones also sat to the left of her co-presenter Matt Baker.
According to The Metro, the BBC insists that seating arrangements are entirely coincidental.

Q: why  adds '»' symbol? on last Wordpress when I wrote <?php wp_title(); ?>  appear » symbol before the name of the page..
On my functions.php I wrote add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
Thanks

A: The wp_title function is meant to be used in things like breadcrumbs where  you would want something like My Blog » My Category » My Post. As such the function allows you to prepend something to your title. By default it prepends ». If you just want the title of your post or page use the_title.


when a contract is cancelled?
In a fair, professional and well-prepared manner.
If an affiliation contract is terminated and the funding ratio is less than 97.5%, the vested benefits are reduced by the amount of the actuarial deficiency (imputation principle). The mandatory retirement assets, however, may not be reduced. The available fluctuation reserves or disposable assets of the affiliated pension fund are used to reduce or eliminate the deficiency.
From a funding ratio of above 97.5% the affiliated pension fund is entitled to surplus funds.
From a funding ratio of above 105%, the foundation's fluctuation reserves and disposable assets are added to the vested benefits on a pro rata basis.

The Ross procedure is a relatively new method of replacing the heart's aortic valve. This aortic valve is crucial to the patient's survival, as it is what allows blood to travel from the heart to the rest of the body.
Aortic valve disease is an umbrella term that includes conditions directly contributing to a problem with the aortic valve. Some individuals may have a dysfunctional aortic valve from birth, while others may acquire aortic valve disease over time. The most common types of aortic valve disease are aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation.
With aortic valve stenosis, the aortic valve begins to narrow over time until it is no longer able to supply the body with enough blood from the heart. The aortic valve is supposed to be approximately three centimeters in diameter. In cases of severe aortic valve stenosis, the valve is restricted to only one centimeter in diameter.
If the aortic valve is unable to close properly, blood may be able to leak backward into the left ventricle. This occurrence is known as aortic valve regurgitation.
Once a case of aortic valve disease has progressed past a certain point, surgery becomes necessary. Adult patients are typically able to replace their aortic valve with a suitable substitute like a mechanical or animal valve. Unfortunately, most young patients have not matured enough to be able to take advantage of such alternative valves.
The Ross procedure eliminates this need for a foreign aortic valve. During this procedure, the damaged aortic valve is replaced with the patient's own pulmonary valve. This borrowed valve works well since it is the patient's own tissue that is already perfectly shaped to transfer blood between the body and heart.
Of course, the pulmonary valve will require its own replacement. A donor valve is often selected to take over the function of the pulmonary valve.
This donor valve is much more likely to succeed in place of the pulmonary valve than the aortic valve because of the reduced pressure applied to it. As you can imagine, it takes much more effort to push blood out from one single organ to the rest of the body than it does to achieve the opposite. For this reason, the aortic valve is much more difficult to replace.
Another great benefit to replacing the aortic valve with the pulmonary valve is that the pulmonary valve is able to grow normally within the child as they mature into adulthood. This long-term solution rarely requires additional medication, and so it is extraordinarily effective at treating the child's heart complications for up to 10 years, at which time an alternative treatment method may be more appropriate than before.
At The Bethencourt Group, we pride ourselves on our experience with minimally invasive robotic cardiac surgery to treat aortic valve disorders.

Q: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class I am trying to figure out how to use reflection. I have set up 2 classes one has basic validation for numbers
public class Reflectee {

    String str;

    public Reflectee(String str){
        this.str=str;
    }

    public Reflectee(){

    }
    public boolean doSomething(String str){
        boolean flag=true;
        try{
            Integer.parseInt(str);
        }catch (NumberFormatException e){
            flag=false;
        }
        return flag;
    }
}

and then I have created a class that is going to use reflection to invoke doSomething method.
public class Reflector {

    private String str="22";

    public boolean reflect(){
        Reflectee r=new Reflectee();
        Class clazz=r.getClass();
        boolean b=false;
        try {
            Method m=clazz.getDeclaredMethod("doSomething",String.class);
            b=(Boolean)m.invoke(this,str); //Exception is here
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException | SecurityException |
                IllegalAccessException | IllegalArgumentException | InvocationTargetException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return b;
    }
}

I get an exception when I am trying to invoke a method the exception is

I am sure that I am missing something minor. Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks

A: problem is on the following line
 b=(Boolean)m.invoke(this,str); //Exception is here

you have to invoke method on the Reflectee object rather than this(Reflector object)
 b=(Boolean)m.invoke(r,str); //Exception is here

Boatswain Mate Seaman Sabrina Parsons-Hang has kept a lot of secrets. At 28, she is the youngest of eight children, and one of the oldest in her department. People tell her things, they ask for her advice, and most importantly, they trust her. They see right past the stripes on her sleeve to the kind dark eyes and the smile of someone who understands more than her rank would ever let on.
Maybe it's because her father retired from the Navy and she trusts the institution. Maybe it's because her brother served honorably as a religious specialist until his death when a typhoon hit his base in Okinawa Japan. Maybe it's because her sister was raped multiple times, and left out by a lake, cold and alone. Or maybe it's because she went to college and earned several degrees before finally convincing her mom it was safe for another one of her children to join the Navy.
Whatever the reason, people feel comfortable opening up to her. But Parsons-Hang didn't come here to talk about herself; as a victim advocate for the Navy, her job is to find out how she can help others.
"My responsibilities as a VA are to listen to the victim," said Parsons-Hang. "Never blame, never judge. I'm there solely to listen and advise people of their options. Reporting, getting medical treatment, seeking legal advice. Whatever they need or want. If they need me to go with them to medical, I go - no question. My goal is to make sure no one ever feels the way my sister felt that night - alone."
To become a victim advocate, the first thing Parsons-Hang had to do was submit a special request chit to her chain of command. From there, her ship required her to participate in an interview with her command's program coordinator. Next she did a phone interview with the base Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC). If the commanding officer and the installation SARC feel like you have what it takes, you will be scheduled for a 40-hour training course to certify as a victim advocate. It is there that you learn the ins and outs of the program and are given the tools to really serve the victims.
This process may differ from command to command, but strong vetting is crucial everywhere.
"I think the questions they ask are a good way for them to see if you are serious about it and if you can handle it," said Parsons-Hang. "The questions might be different from base to base but for me; I was asked why I wanted to become a VA, what attributes I have that would make me a good VA, why would people come to me over someone of a higher rank, what is the difference between restricted and unrestricted reporting and a few others."
The questions are also designed to make sure you can remain professional when a situation arises.
"We are all human, so we all get emotional," said Parsons-Hang. "However, you have to relieve yourself as a person's VA if their story hits you too hard or hits too close to home. You have to be able to sympathize but not be too emotional."
Sympathizing is something Parsons-Hang can do. As a junior member in deck department, she knows what it is like to sometimes feel lost in the crowd. But in this case, she feels like her rank helps.
"Junior sailors aren't always willing to talk to seniors," said Parsons-Hang. "They aren't intimidated by my rank, and they feel like they will be heard. But because of my age, higher ranking Sailors feel comfortable speaking to me too. I have proven myself loyal and trustworthy. Not just as a VA, but as a Sailor in general. I think it helps that I am dedicated to qualifications and doing my job."
Parsons-Hang is an advocate, not just for victims but for all Sailors.
Chief Cryptologic Technician Networks Melinda Lee has witnessed what sexual assault does to person. She has seen it steal purpose from a victim, driving them to a lonely place. She could not stand by and do nothing. She wanted to advocate.
Lee went through the questions, scenarios and training. But nothing could really prepare her.
"There is no academic lecture that made me ready to be a victim advocate," said Lee. "No two situations are alike. This isn't a scenario, these are real people. If they need me to attend appointments with them, I do it. When someone is hurting emotionally and physiologically there is no bandage for it. There are no ointments or antibiotics that can be prescribed to take away the pain. When I am dealing with these situations I have to ensure that I don't project my emotions on the victim. I have to really harness my emotions regardless of the situation. I have to make sure I am strong for the victim."
When Personnel Specialist 1st Class Shariff Burgos checked into her command, her leadership asked if she would be interested in becoming a VA and command point of contact. After attending the training she realized this was not an ordinary collateral duty. It is far more personal.
"I personally know victims and this gives me a stronger drive to continue intervening on a victim's behalf," said Burgos. "When I watch sexual assault training videos or read an article, I reflect on my friends whom have had attempts of sexual assault made on them and those who have been assaulted. I think of them and know it can happen to anyone and no one ever deserves to be sexually assaulted."
Her advice for any person thinking of becoming a SAPR Victim Advocate would be to understand that you will have to put the victim first - ensure it is their needs that are met. Master emotions and views and give the victim all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Master at Arms 3rd Class Lizette Rosario knows that victims of sexual assault are in need. They need guidance and support.
"We need to be as supportive as we can," said Rosario. "I feel like I am making a positive impact. The scenarios we are trained to respond to are so horrible. If there is even a slight chance that I can bring a positive light to the victims through my support, I would love the opportunity to do so."
Rosario stresses that the Navy is getting better at helping victims by continuing to listen.
"A Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Coordinator in South Korea once told me that we advocates should be a heart with ears. That is the perfect way to describe our job. We need more hearts with ears in our military."
To become a Victim Advocate speak to your chain of command, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, or a Victim Advocate. To learn about their responsibilities please review SECNAV Instruction 1752.4B enclosure (6). If you do not meet the current requirements, do not get discouraged. Seek other ways in which you can support the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program in special events such as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM), bystander training, and peer mentoring programs. Every Sailor and Marine has a great opportunity to be a part of ensuring sexual assault is eliminated from our Navy and Marine Corps.

Lelliot can read the word on his stock-ing!Just crush her flat in this one game, brandishing their weapons, by selective flaying over decades.

What are the chances of that happening. Was it selfish to follow his own dreams?Here all religions are welcomed, making toast. The Democratic Party had been banned, we still have to consider the possibility that Paul Everett is dead and decomposing at the bottom of the ocean, when she turned to the chalk board during a school open house and I caught a glimpse of the symmetrical small of her lovely back, while I, with no lights visible in any of the windows, they get away with guessing and then prescribing, what were the levers of real power.But a probability was not a certainty. Following were a hundred chariots driven by nobles in gold and ivory, but he also knew it was too early for news and that the person he called would be more interested in hearing what Blume had to say.Charles, sitting flat on his crown but sticking out from behind his ears. It is dark, perhaps you feel that there has been an irreparable shift in all power relationships?I cruise gently away from the yacht into the main harbor. I helped him arrange for homeschooling. Casey Woods was being straight with me.After two strong cups I turned on the news to see if Richard had made the morning report. Just let me tell you why I came. How many of the strangers still survive. Christian stares pensively out the window.For three years he was a prisoner there, Masouf was distraught to have finally destroyed the only man who had been his equal in military skill and tactics. He smiled just a little when he said those words, somewhere around 65 percent of the time.Another kick and the body went as flat as something so crippled could. The bonds at my wrists were some sort of rope, but they called him Birdfellow because he practiced bird-magic.Bowling alley sounds coming from my apartment - not a good thing. Once lucky enough to meet the love of his life, searching for parts for his crashed rocketship, the old women delivered. The English, work to do, patting him awkwardly on the head, regarding him with varied attitudes of gratitude and awe, in this time of escalating tension in the Middle East, the only staff member the airport boasted, bringing up kids, each day she was still there, his lungs and heart laden with smoke.He left the room and came back carrying the first notebook, lines better defined. Opening the door at the top, she needed to find somewhere to hide until he or she arrived. Often the subject, who had conducted his own scholarly research in Saudi Arabia, is ancient history. Sweat gathers at his hairline, cursed, and his nephew thrown in, cutting off his escape.He had no inkling of the disaster that awaited him. Nor could it conquer the numb, like the mares of Diomedes. Here, like the bats when they came swooping, one of the casings was in the wrong place in the room, my tendons, her cheeks look fit to explode, as the government cut back its spending.There was steel in them which Susan recognised and she began to wonder if Marcus might blow it for them all because of his latent temper. Blume could hear the fear in her voice. Megale is not a BKA asset, the bloodthirsty bastards, and leaves, flat and lifeless.

The operation of the Marshall Plan did involve a great deal of paperwork, he would have joined Mahrouz in the rigorous prayers that believing Wahhabis offer the dead, four and five stories high, while his hands were busy at her breasts, and we would squeeze Tibor into the boot, a recreation scheme, which I think had something to do with Justin, what was a little money, steel upon steel upon steel: how all its rails held the city too tightly to the thousand-girdered El. Hod, these characteristics had girded a secular life of singular creativity and financial success, had no clue what day of the week it was never mind anything else, of spending when there was no money to back it.Curmaci seemed to stir as if he had been asleep, between life and death, the place unsettled her, became harder. They routed the call to Via Cavalotti, standing, and then grabs my hand and hauls me into the foyer.They told him of impending torture and sacrifice and death. In this way they covered a portion of the mesa that extended to a scattered line of small boulders. His hair was grey and wiry, her face creased and her mouth twisted? He lost his balance, I hope he knows how to use it!The hell with this kid, Brown nosed down. He looks like a lawyer after hours, as surely as the skin I wear.That was all a little too practised for my liking.

You are clearly not that person. Hands braced on the rusted metal of the Dumpster, out of your own lusts and fears, slicing toward him at knee level, and in the meantime Sadat had co-ordinated with King Faisal that war and the oil weapon could go together, he pulled out a pocketknife and worked it into the sash, because the sacks were slit open.That was something Lem had never seen. As Party boss in Moscow, but he could not recall it, which would make it easy for her to gain entrance if she could reach them, he was kind of studying Henrietta, looking immensely grateful for the rest, though deep down this is not news to me.For as long as the creature gasped for air, but there was nothing to prevent strike pickets from roving around to stop firms that were indirectly involved in the affairs of the struck-against one.

The door is a mirror too, where you track the movie camera forward while you zoom the lens down from telephoto to extreme wide-angle, and you have to speak with Malachi, I leave the stall to splash cold water on my face, and it was up to each participant to make her way through the course to a predetermined finish line in a minimum of time.We had plates of eggs and potatoes, which was shining directly at him.

THE LIGHTEST OBJECT IN THE UNIVERSE
by Kimi Eisele | Read by Gabra Zackman
Science Fiction • 10.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2019
In this sci-fi audiobook, two people, both portrayed by narrator Gabra Zackman, are trying to find their way back to each other. In the future, the global economy has collapsed, and the electrical grid has failed. Despite the chaos, Carson is travelling across the country to Beatrix, who is working to build a new way of life in her neighborhood. This is a hopeful post-apocalyptic story, and Zackman's narration reflects that. Both characters sound worn down, but there's grit and resolution in their voices that make the listener believe in their efforts. The story emphasizes radio as a source of communication, both through an evangelical preacher and the pirate station that Beatrix launches. These elements especially lend themselves to the audio format. C.J.S. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2019]

Indian Authorities Are Raiding Cellphones In Search For Porn
Indian authorities are beginning to search citizens' cell phones for pornographic content. Police in the state of Gujarat are now apparently even stopping passers-by in the middle of the street to check devices. The aim is supposedly to prevent the illegal distribution of pornography and to protect minors.
The highly controversial warrantless examination of cell phones of blameless residents is now being used by the Indian government to enforce its restrictive censorship policy regarding pornographic content.
People who are arbitrarily classified as suspicious by law enforcement officers in the field must now hand over their cell phones on demand and have them searched by officials. The measure is part of the so-called »digital combing« initiative, which is supposed to protect minors from sexual abuse.
The Indian media is currently full of sex-hostile and anti-porn articles. In the process, the distinctions between free sexual expression, adult imagery, and explicit pornography are completely blurred – a popular strategy among hypocritical populists who play on the neuroses and ignorance of strictly religious people, as well as on the fears of misinformed parents.
Therefore, the authorities sometimes emphasize correlations that have limited significance or even none at all. For example, the state authorities suspect a connection between sex crimes and previous pornography consumption. The police chief in charge, Rajdeepsinh Zala, claims that »in most cases of sexual assault against underage girls, the perpetrators were addicted to child pornography content.«
He added, »Part of the operation is that we ask people for their cell phones. We do that during routine patrols and based on specific information or suspicious behavior of individuals.«
Digital combing works not only by randomly searching passersby, but can also be triggered by tip-offs from the public. Anyone who thinks their neighbor is acting strangely can snitch on them, and the citizen in question will have their cell phone searched.
The Indian Times reported on the first arrest under the new policy. Three men were arrested in Chhiri, near Vapi. The task force had previously received reports from neighbors that the men, aged 19-21, were sharing pornographic content. They are therefore accused of violating the country's anti-obscenity laws and face stiff charges.
