Q: getting duplicate values in a Set of tuples I am trying to create a Set in java for a tuple of integers.
For example:
class Tuple
{
    int first;
    int second;
    public Tuple(int i, int j)
    {
        this.first=i;
        this.second=j;
    }
}

And then trying to populate a set like this:
Set pairs = new HashSet<Tuple>();
pairs.add(new Tuple(1,2));
pairs.add(new Tuple(1,2));
pairs.add(new Tuple(1,2));

For a number of tuple objects. But still I am getting duplicates by:
System.out.println("Size: " + pairs.size());
for (Tuple t : (HashSet<Tuple>) pairs) {
    System.out.println(t.toString());
}

Can anyone help to get rid of duplicates?

A: Override the hashCode() and equals() methods.
When you want to say two objects are equal, their hashCodes need to be implemented in a way that it will return the same value and equals() will return true. When we try to insert an object into a hash data structure, it first calls hashCode() on that object and then equals()method with the object from the collection having same hash code as that of this object.
I assume you want only one Tuple object in you HashSet. Change your class as follows:
public class Tuple {
    int first;
    int second;
    public Tuple(int i, int j){
        this.first=i;
        this.second=j;
    }
    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + first;
        result = prime * result + second;
        return result;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        Tuple other = (Tuple) obj;
        if (first != other.first)
            return false;
        if (second != other.second)
            return false;
        return true;
    }
}

A: Tuple must implement hashCode and equals for it to work in a HashSet.

Q: access data/methods from one CRTP child class by another "Model" is a base class defining the data structures and methods every derived model must have. "Filter" is a base class that uses a Model's data structures and methods (all with the same interface defined in the Model base class). There will be multiple derived Models and multiple derived Filters. Each derived Filter should be able to act on any derived Model. Model is independent of Filter. Since speed is important, I am trying static polymorphism using the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP). Ideally, the methods in Model used by Filter should be inlinable. A start at this class design is:
template <typename DerivedModel>
class Model {
 public:
  Model() {}
  double f(const double x) {
   return static_cast<DerivedModel*>(this)->f(x);
  } // f
}; // Model

class Model1 : Model<Model1> {
// Curiously Recurring Template Pattern
 public:
  Model1() : Model() {}
  double f(const double x) { return x; }
}; // Model1

template <typename DerivedFilter>
class Filter {
 public:
  double b_;
  Filter(const double b) : b_(b) {}
  double step() {
   return static_cast<DerivedFilter*>(this)->step();
  } // step
}; // Filter

Now we need a mechanism to allow Filter access to Model. Try multiple inheritance just to see if it compiles:
template <typename DerivedModel>
class Filter2A : public Filter<Filter2A>, public DerivedModel {
}; // Filter2A

This fails (using gcc 4.7.1, no special switches):
error: type/value mismatch at argument 1 in template parameter list for 'template<class DerivedFilter> class Filter'
expected a type, got 'Filter2A'

Based on reading related stackoverflow posts, let's use a template template argument instead. Also, instead of MI, I'll put a Model inside of the new code for Filter:
template<typename DerivedModel, template<class> class DerivedFilter>
class Filter {
 public:
  DerivedModel myModel; // Filter "has a" Model
  double b_;
  Filter(const double b) : b_(b) {}
  double step() {
   return static_cast<DerivedFilter*>(this)->step(); // ERROR
  } // step
}; // Filter

template<typename DerivedModel>
class Filter1 : public Filter< DerivedModel, Filter1 > { // CRTP
 public:
  Filter1(const double b) : Filter< DerivedModel, Filter1 >(b) {}
  double step() { return b_; } // "b_ was not declared in this scope"
}; // Filter1

This works - except for the static_cast line:
In member function 'double Filter<DerivedModel, DerivedFilter>::step()':
error: expected type-specifier before 'DerivedFilter'
expected '>' before 'DerivedFilter'
...

So the template-template parameter DerivedModel needs a different syntax to access Model's methods? Is there a typedef that fixes this (tried a few things but no success).
Also, I don't understand a 2nd issue - Filter's b_ is no longer accessible in Filter1 even though everything is public. (can fix by replacing b_ with Filter< DerivedModel, Filter1 >::b_ ). This was not necessary with the simpler CRTP code example.

A: Your first attempt should probably work, as long as you put the class name in properly:
class Filter2A : public Filter<Filter2A<DerivedModel> >, public DerivedModel {

Alternatively, your second attempt should work if you use the correct static_cast syntax:
    return static_cast<DerivedFilter<DerivedModel>*>(this)->step();

You need to name a specific type in these situations, rather than mentioning a template name that the compiler can't turn into a real type.  A template name by itself (without all the arguments to resolve to a specific type) doesn't provide the compiler the information it needs to resolve the actual type (which it needs to compute layout information, look up symbols, etc.).
With regard to finding the b_ symbol, this is a member of an inherited type that is a dependent type (meaning the compiler doesn't know the type when the template was declared).  You need to give the compiler a hint that this symbol is a dependent symbol and must be looked up at instantiation time.  Try using this->b_ instead of just b_.  Or, use a class namespace qualifier.  The compiler will then treat the symbol as a dependent symbol and resolve it at template instantiation time rather than template definition time.

Well, I think it's time to update that blog. I think it's been quite a while, so if I am repeating myself, I am so sorry. We finally made it to Guangzhou. We were hoping for some warm balmy weather, but instead it is cold and rainy. We are trying to make do with lots of layers, but it's just really cold. The Northern and Central parts of China are really cold. We had a 2 hour wait at the airport last Friday. Not like our airports. Cold drafty and lots of people. They did have food thankfully, and the girl's were starved.
Shaelee is always happy to have food. She loves to eat! She is the tiniest little girl, and eats so much food. William "Quinn", I think you have competition. She continues to be a happy little girl, just a sweet heart, with her unbelievable giggles. She loves taking baths, I think she'll love the pool this summer. She has a little 3 and 1/2 year old friend that she met this weekend. The 2 of them chatter in Chinese. We have no idea what they are saying but they crack themselves up. I think they are both so happy that they found someone that they can talk to.
We did the medicals today. She's up to 25 pounds. Such a tiny peanut. She has incredibly long eyelashes, and a beautiful little grin. I would say that I am smitton. She still prefers Claire, which we understand from the other families who brought siblings, that this is normal. When she falls asleep I just stare at her in wonder. Such a beautiful child, both inside and out. She has a joyful spirit. That is how I would describe her best.
Claire has kept up with her homework in about 2 hours a day. Makes me wonder what they do in school for 8 hours. She spends her downtime being the pied piper for all the little ones here. She loves to play with them.We especially enjoy Jada, who is about 13 months, just a spitfire with no fear and all personality. But they are all darling. I think we have 14 families here. They are just precious.
We went to church on the Island this weekend, and it was amazing to see how China has changed in 13 years. We didn't even have the opportunity to go to church when we were last here. I think we take so much for granted at home, and these people are so on fire and excited to get to attend achurch service. It was in Chinese and English, and a lovely service.
Today is the first trip to the embassy. We don't have to go, but need to be available in our rooms. I don't think we'll be going out. Shaelee has gotten a little cough, Claire has a sore throat and Ralph is all raspy. I am popping zinc and airborne all day long.
We are really homesick and miss the 3kids at home. Love that Aunt Kim and Uncle Chris are taking such good care of them. Thank you Priscilla, Linda, Emma and Katrina for your help as well. Quinn, great job on your soccer game! Viny and Emily, you are looking good on skype ! We love seeing all of your beautiful smiles. We love you all! Today begins Tuesday, only 4 more days till we get to come home. Love and Hugs from China!
I am glad that Claire is there helping. I know my son, Will was a big help in China too.

Feature obituary: Longtime owner of iconic Camp Ellis restaurant dies at 77
Colin T. Wormwood Sr. ran the former Wormwood's – whose patrons included Red Sox and Patriots players and one president – for over 50 years.
By Melanie CreamerStaff Writer
Colin T. Wormwood Sr.
Colin T. Wormwood Sr., owner of the former landmark Wormwood's Restaurant in Saco's Camp Ellis, died Wednesday after a period of declining health. He was 77.
He was remembered Thursday as a man who gave generously to the community.
A longtime resident of Camp Ellis, Wormwood spent his early years in Schenectady, New York, and attended schools there. He returned every summer to Camp Ellis, where his family operated a small pub and cafe beginning in 1944. At age 18, he was managing the bar. By his early 20s, Wormwood was running the restaurant for his mother.
His wife, Cindy Wormwood, of Saco said Thursday he did every job at the restaurant ranging from a dish washer to cook. She said he usually went to work around 3 a.m. to prep food for the day ahead. He picked the lobster meat by hand, cooked, and created the menu.
"He could do anything in the restaurant," said his wife. "He was very creative. He had a great imagination about things he could do."
Wormwood ran the restaurant for more than 50 years. Wormwood's, which started as a small watering hole for local fishermen, grew into a 250-seat family destination known for its great food and atmosphere. Over the years, he expanded the restaurant several times, including the addition of a second floor. The Wormwoods held wedding and funeral receptions, Christmas parties and private gatherings.
The restaurant was a magnet for tourists. His wife said players from the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox often frequented Wormwood's. The late President George H.W. Bush also dined there.
"He drove his Secret Service people nuts because he wanted to sit in the middle of the room," said his wife, noting the agents often had trouble finding seats near him. "The president would walk around and shake peoples hands and sign autographs."
His wife noted a wall at the restaurant proudly displayed some autographed pictures of celebrity guests. She recalled the night that several taxicabs pulled up to the restaurant just before closing.
"About 30 people came in the door," she said. "We already cut the staff and we were getting ready to clean up, but we let them in. You always let them in. Once we locked the doors, they told us who they were. They were the Moody Blues. They were nice as anything to wait on."
Over the years, Wormwood hired many young people in the Camp Ellis neighborhood. His wife said he was a great mentor and counseled many of them. She recalled one young man, who struggled with substance use. She said her husband intervened and got him some help. He went on to join the Coast Guard and became an officer.
"He would find ways to counsel kids and help them get back on their feet," his wife said. "He was great. He really was."
Wormwood and his wife lived across the street from the restaurant. On Christmas Eve, they would have celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary. It was the second marriage for both. She said they met when they were 16 years old.
"My father had a hit list of all the boys in the area he didn't want me dating. Colin was on the top of the list," she said, laughing.
She said they went their separate ways and reconnected later in their lives. She waitressed at the restaurant and so did all of her kids.
"My kids loved him," she said. "We had a wonderful life together. We marched to the beat of the same drum."
In addition to her children, he leaves a son, Colin Wormwood Jr. of Saco.
Wormwood had a passion for golf. He was the first member to join Dunegrass Country Club in Old Orchard Beach when it opened in 1998. He was a fixture at the golf course, where he played and sponsored many golf tournaments over the years.
"Everyone loved him at the golf course," his wife said.
Wormwood sold the restaurant in 2013 and it has since been torn down. His wife said he suffered a stroke four years ago and had health issues since then.
"It's very, very sad," she said. "He was one of a kind."

California Holds Technical PFAS Seminar to Inform Public of State of Science and Possible Future Drinking Water Regulations
Blog frESH: Perspectives on Environmental, Safety & Health
Last month, the California State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) hosted a comprehensive two-day seminar on per- and polyflouroaklyl substances (PFAS) in California. PFAS are a family of an estimated 4,000-6,300 chemical compounds that have a variety of applications due to their stability in the environment. Although some reports suggest that these chemicals are ubiquitous in the environment, such pervasiveness may be explained by sampling for parts per trillion, in contrast to the parts per billion or million for which most chemicals are sampled.
Presenters at the California PFAS seminar included staff members from the State Board, as well as staff members the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and the Department of Toxic Substances (DTSC). All three organizations are sub-agencies of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA). A representative from California's Department of Public Health also provided an update on its California Regional Exposure (CARE) PFAS study designed to measure levels of PFAS in people throughout the State. Representatives from the United States EPA (U.S. EPA), and from various members of the scientific, legal, and NGO communities also presented. The conference was widely attended by water supply and waste water treatment providers, technical consultants, NGOs, and lawyers.
Participants generally acknowledged during the two-day seminar that current efforts to regulate PFAS outpace the state of the science and understanding of the comprehensive set of these compounds. Although long-chain legacy PFAS compounds such as PFOA and PFOS have garnered the most attention, relatively little is understood about the prevalence and use of myriad other compounds in the PFAS family, including the newer, shorter chain "NextGen" compounds. Indeed, only around 40 compounds of this large family of chemicals are presently detectible and quantifiable using existing standardized analytical methods. As a result, many participants grappled with the clear tension between a general desire to develop meaningful regulations and the need to do so in an informed and deliberate manner.
California's Efforts
California established some of the nation's lowest notification levels for PFOA and PFOS in August 2019. At the same time, the State Board indicated it also expected to update response levels for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water sometime in the fall of 2019. (). During the seminar, CalEPA presenters indicated the State was still in the process of closely evaluating possible changes to response levels for PFOA and PFOS but has not yet determined to do so. Longer term, the State Board has been clear of its intent to develop a California public health goal by mid 2021, and an enforceable state drinking water standard (known as a maximum contaminant level or MCL) for PFOA and PFOS. The State has not indicated whether a drinking water standard is on the horizon for any other PFAS compounds.
Investigating PFAS in California, like much of the rest of the country, can be generally traced back to 2012 when U.S. EPA required nationwide testing for six PFAS compounds by public water systems in the third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) monitoring event under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). During the Summer of 2018, California came out with initial notification and response levels for PFOA and PFOS. In February, 2019, U.S. EPA announced its PFAS action Plan, and shortly thereafter, the State Board issued an order requiring California airports and landfills to investigate select PFAS compounds. In the Summer of 2019, California passed legislation enabling the State Board to require public water systems to test for PFAS.
More recently, on October 25, 2019, the State Board issued an investigative order requiring chrome plating facilities to test for PFAS compounds. State Board representatives during the December PFAS Seminar advised that the next sectors expected to be addressed are (1) refineries and bulk terminals, (2) waste water treatment plants, and (3) secondary manufacturers who use PFAS-containing materials in their manufacturing processes. Once source-specific investigations have been completed, the State Board intends to adaptively manage water supply testing at the watershed level, moving away from the sector-by-sector investigation it is currently undertaking with statewide orders. Furthermore, EPA stated at the seminar that it is likely that additional PFAS compounds will be tested in UCMR 5 in 2023.
Federal Legislation and U.S. EPA's Activities
Nationally in 2019, Congress considered legislation to regulate PFAS as a family, and PFOA and PFOS specifically. Due to the presence of PFAS compounds found at and near some DOD military bases, the focus was on legislating PFAS through the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The House pushed to direct EPA to list the entire PFAS family as hazardous substances under CERCLA, which would function to compel cleanup of PFAS releases throughout the country. The House also sought to require development of a Safe Drinking Water Act MCL for the entire family of PFAS in drinking water. The Senate sought to limit any hazardous substance listing or drinking water MCL to PFOA and PFOS rather than the entire PFAS family. When the Conference Report for the final version of the Fiscal Year 2020 NDAA was released in mid-December, it contained no provisions regarding hazardous substance listing or an MCL. The NDAA Conference Report did include specific bans on applications of PFAS for firefighting training activities and in ready to eat food packaging, a phase out of the military's use of PFAS-based firefighting foam beginning in 2024, and called for development of information on destruction and disposal of PFAS-based firefighting foam. In response to the final version of the NDAA's limited PFAS provisions, House leadership has expressed intent to bring a separate House Bill to include all the strongest provisions originally desired by the House.
Although Congress did not use the NDAA to direct the U.S. EPA to regulate any PFAS compounds, U.S. EPA is continuing implementation steps under its own initiative, as set out in its February 2019 Action Plan, to potentially regulate PFOA and PFOS. In the February 2019 Action Plan, U.S. EPA announced its intention to "initiat[e] the regulatory development process for listing certain PFAS as hazardous substances under CERCLA."
The agency also indicated it is "committed to following the Safe Drinking Water Act process for evaluating drinking water standards for PFAS, including an MCL for PFOA and PFOS." An update from U.S. EPA on its current position regarding these potential regulatory actions is expected soon. Thus, even though no federal legislation has mandated U.S. EPA to list any PFAS as a hazardous substance or to develop a drinking water MCL, the agency still may decide to regulate independently. In the meantime, California, and an increasing number of states are aggressively pouring their own resources into investigation and potential regulation of PFAS.
As local, state, and federal authorities grapple with how to address PFAS compounds, members of the scientific community continue working to understand them. Meanwhile, California has already announced to the public its intention to develop a drinking water MCL for PFOA and PFOS as early as the fall of 2023. Squire Patton Boggs will continue to monitor various efforts to regulate PFAS.

Bill Blair rules out wall for Canada-U.S. boundary
Physical barrier impractical, says Border Security Minister
Martin C. Barry
While a political battle rages on in the United States over whether to build a massive wall along the U.S-Mexico border to contain the flow of irregular migration, there will be no question of a similar barrier along the Canada-U.S. boundary, says the Canadian federal minister responsible for security along our border.
"I don't believe a physical barrier is either practical on a 9,000-kilometre border or necessary," Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction Minister Bill Blair told Newsfirst Multimedia in a recent interview.
Although U.S. President Donald Trump remains transfixed on building a wall along that country's southern border to fulfill one of the Republican president's most cherished electoral promises, Blair sees Canada taking an entirely different approach to the security of its border.
"Let's keep in mind that even on irregular migration we're talking about a 9,000-kilometre border, and perhaps 30 to 40 people each day are presenting themselves to cross irregularly," he said.
Says system now works
"It's manageable. It's not preferable. Our preference is that people would go to the regular point of entry and that we would manage it there. But for those who are crossing irregularly, the numbers are still within our ability to manage. And I'm confident that we are maintaining the safety and security of our country."
Blair said that Canada hasn't much need to even think of having a border wall, since control of the boundary the country shares with its southern neighbour is based on "the collaboration and cooperation of law enforcement on both sides of the border. We are applying our laws and we are deploying our resources in a way that maintains security.
Using the law
"In other jurisdictions, in other areas of the world – not between Canada and the United States – there may be other challenges with maintaining the integrity of their border – and in those circumstances and in some areas some have found it necessary to have a physical barrier," he continued.
"But we manage ours with law. It's a filter. And we will absolutely keep out people who represent a danger or criminality in this country. But we also apply our laws for people who are entering. By international convention and under Canadian law if someone is seeking asylum, then they are entitled to due process. But there's a right way of doing that."

As the summer starts winding down, it's time to begin thinking about heading back to school. And this includes revamping your dorm – or, if you're about to start your freshman year, designing your dorm.
The main feature of a standard dorm room is the bedding. Everyone has to have it, and it's a way to introduce color, pattern, and personality into an otherwise cookie-cutter room.
If you're anything like me, you like it when things are cohesive. That's why you may want to consult your roommate before purchasing bedding to pick a color scheme for your respective bedding. Now, you don't want to get the same bedding or have things too matchy-matchy, but it's nice when the room's décor stays within the color family. Maybe you pick your mutual favorite color (pink or teal, perhaps) or maybe you opt for a basic neutral. My bedding, for instance, is a plain grey – my favorite neutral – which allows me to switch things up from year to year with a fun new throw blanket.
Not all beds are created equal! Although you may love the Anthropologie bedding you have at home, the same thing probably wouldn't work in a dorm room. Most university beds are a not-so-standard size that require not simply Twin size bedding, but the elusive Twin XL size to accommodate extra lengthy students (Thanks, basketball players!). Because most places don't cater strictly to college students, many stores don't even carry this size. Some good places that do carry Twin XL? The Company Store and Pottery Barn Teen are good places to start.
This may seem like a strange thing to consider, but your bed at school will have to stand up to a lot more wear and tear than your bed at home. Think about it: In your tiny dorm room, your bed is not only your bed, but also your couch, sometimes your desk, and, yes, occasionally your kitchen table. So, you want to pick bedding that will be able to go the distance. Here, again, color is important. If you're coordinating with your roommate, as mentioned above, try to steer clear of white or pastel colors, as these will show dirt the easiest (and, sad but true, don't think your friends won't put their feet up on your bed!) Another tip? Avoid anything with delicate add-ons like ruffles or embellishments; these could easily tear or rip off entirely.
Have any more tips for picking the perfect dorm bedding? Let us know below!

Her research investigates the phase diagram of nuclear matter using the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN Her past work includes nuclear structure at the frontiers of the valley of stability.

Education
Chartier studied physics at the University of Paris-Sud and completed a third-year project at the French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique) in condensed matter physics. She completed her fourth year project at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) in the USA. She was awarded her PhD from the University of Caen Normandy in 1996 for research completed at the Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds. During her PhD, she spoke at the International Conference on Exotic Nuclei.

Career and research
After her PhD, Chartier was a postdoctoral researcher for two years at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University.  In 1999 Chartier was appointed lecturer at the University of Bordeaux. She worked at the Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires de Bordeaux-Gradignan on exotic nuclei. She wanted to focus more on research, successfully applied for an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Advanced Fellowship and joined the Nuclear Physics group at the University of Liverpool in 2001. This allowed her to establish an entirely new research area, exploring exotic nuclear physics and the valley of stability.  At the University of Liverpool Chartier teaches Nuclear Physics. She is interested in ways to measure the masses of exotic nuclei. To do this, she uses a cyclotron as a mass spectrometer. She also worked on light, neutron rich nuclei using knock out reactions.

In 2010 Chartier was part of a multi-million pound grant to work on the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. She is interested in the valley of stability. She led the UK involvement with the Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics and Reactions (NuSTAR) experiments, studying the nuclear drip line, the ordering of quantum states and symmetry of near-stable nuclei. In 2013 she led the UK collaboration with the nuclear physics laboratory FAIR. She was the leader of the international R3B spectrometer project, which included the development of a silicon detector that could information about the extreme structure of matter inside stars.

Today, Chartier works on Hadronic matter. She led the University of Liverpool joining the ALICE experiment in 2013 and became interested in Charm quarks. Despite spending her early research career working on nuclear physics, Chartier had considerable experience working on heavy-ion collisions with fixed targets at low energies.  In 2015 Chartier was awarded a £1.05 million grant from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) for the upgrade of the ALICE experiment. She works on the strong force, using ultra-relativistic heavy ion interactions to study Quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

Exchange Unveils Pentagon's More Convenient Military Clothing Store
January 1, 2017 | Julie Mitchell
WASHINGTON, D.C. – With the snip of a ribbon, the Exchange welcomed its Military Clothing Store to a new, more convenient home in the Pentagon's second-floor retail concourse to better serve Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors.
"At the Exchange, we are family serving family," said Exchange Director/CEO Tom Shull, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Dec. 8. "This new home allows us to serve our Pentagon family better, and the move reflects our steadfast commitment to taking care of those who serve."
The move brings the 3,400-square-foot Military Clothing store to Pentagon's mall on the second floor, making it easier for service members and military leaders to find.
The Exchange has staffed a Military Clothing store at the Pentagon since March 1984. Since 2008, the store has been located in E Ring, away from the retail area. Air Force Services funded the move to the retail concourse. The store offers uniforms and alternations for all branches of service. Insignia, gifts, books, flags and souvenirs round out the assortment.
Sajeel Ahmed, a facilities director with the Washington Headquarters Services, applauded the Military Clothing Store's move, noting that finding the previous location sometimes proved challenging.
"It's a great location—moving from the fifth floor to the second," said Ahmed, whose directorate manages Pentagon space. "If customers need anything, they can just walk in and get what they need."
Staff Sgt. Dontae Skywalker of the Army National Guard, browsed the store, which he said is now "at the heart of where all the traffic is."
Check out more pictures from the grand opening.

Q: JasperReport not displaying image when converted to pdf I am working on a spring-mvc project and I am using JasperReports for reporting purposes. I have a link that generates a report in pdf format. Link is working fine and report is generated, but the problem is pdf report is not displaying the image. Snippet from my jrxml file:
<frame>
    <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="70" height="67" uuid="0af2e978-7c0c-4805-afb4-4069d1297a12"/>
    <image onErrorType="Blank" evaluationTime="Report">
        <reportElement mode="Opaque" x="0" y="0" width="70" height="67" uuid="c572c836-8d67-480a-b1b1-d603940e6c74"/>
        <imageExpression><![CDATA["images/geLogo.jpg"]]></imageExpression>
    </image>
</frame>

I checked again and the image is present in my webapp/images folder in my project. I have used this same image in my jsp page, it is working.
Code used to generate the pdf from JasperReport:
try {
        JasperPrint print = service.loadReceipt(RECEIPT_NAME, paymentId);
        pdfFile = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
        OutputStream outStream = res.getOutputStream();
        res.setContentType("application/pdf");
        res.addHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=Receipt.pdf");
        outStream.write(pdfFile);
        outStream.flush();
        outStream.close();
    }

Can you tell me why image is not coming in the pdf, though the displays the image in JasperReport Designer with the same path. I have used JasperReports plugin in my eclipse to design reports. I deploy the project in jboss 6.4 through war file.
Thank you in advance.
-------UPDATE--------
I got the idea of checking the structure of project inside war from @KDavid-Valerio answer. It is different from the actual project structure. war structure looks something like this:
Project
    images
        image1.jpg
        image2.jpg
    WEB-INF
        classes
            reports
                report1.jrxml
                report2.jrxml

It still doesn't seem to work.

-------UPDATE--------
Code that fills the jasper report:
public JasperPrint loadReceipt(String reportName, String paymentId, String imagePath) {
        HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        JasperReport report = null;
        JasperPrint print = null;

        try {
            if (jrReportMap == null) {
                jrReportMap = new HashMap<String, JasperReport>();
            }

            if (jrReportMap.get(reportName) == null) {
                report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportManager.load(reportName));
                jrReportMap.put(reportName, report);
                log.info(Logger.EVENT_SUCCESS, "--- Report Compilation done --- " + reportName);
            } else {
                report = jrReportMap.get(reportName);
                log.info(Logger.EVENT_SUCCESS, "--- Report already Compiled --- " + reportName);
            }

            params.put("paymentId", paymentId);
            params.put("realPath", imagePath);

            try {
                Connection conn = reportDataSource.getConnection();
                print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, params, conn);
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                System.err.println("--- SQL ERR - to get connection -----");
                log.error(Logger.EVENT_FAILURE, "--- Report already Compiled --- " + reportName);
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } catch (JRException e1) {
            log.error(Logger.EVENT_FAILURE, "Oops... Something wrong while rendering the report !!!");
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        return print;
    }

A: Instead of using <imageExpression><![CDATA["images/geLogo.jpg"]]></imageExpression>
use a parameter.
E.g.,:
<imageExpression><![CDATA[$P{imagePath}]]></imageExpression>

imagePath it's a String that contains the relative URL of the image inside the WAR.
For example, if your WAR has the following structure:

 YourWebProject
      WebContent
           reports
                report1.jasper
                report2.jasper
                ...
                reportn.jasper
            images
                geLogo.jpg

When you fill the imagePath parameter you have to give it the path of the image relative to the report path. If you want to user geLogo.jpg image, it will be:
String imagePath = "../images/geLogo.jpg";

A: I found  a solution to this problem using ServletContext.
@Autowired
ServletContext context;

Autowire this dependency then use its method getRealPath() to get the real path of any directory after your project is deployed. I found that it keeps changing everytime I deploy the code in jboss.
Code that generates pdf:
 byte[] pdfFile = null;
    String realPath = context.getRealPath("/images/");
    try {
        JasperPrint print = service.loadReceipt(RECEIPT_NAME, paymentId, realPath);
        pdfFile = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
        OutputStream outStream = res.getOutputStream();
        res.setContentType("application/pdf");
        res.addHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=Receipt.pdf");
        outStream.write(pdfFile);
        outStream.flush();
        outStream.close();
}

Code to fill the report:
public JasperPrint loadReceipt(String reportName, String paymentId, String realPath) {
        HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        JasperReport report = null;
        JasperPrint print = null;

        try {
            if (jrReportMap == null) {
                jrReportMap = new HashMap<String, JasperReport>();
            }

            if (jrReportMap.get(reportName) == null) {
                report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportManager.load(reportName));
                jrReportMap.put(reportName, report);
                log.info(Logger.EVENT_SUCCESS, "--- Report Compilation done --- " + reportName);
            } else {
                report = jrReportMap.get(reportName);
                log.info(Logger.EVENT_SUCCESS, "--- Report already Compiled --- " + reportName);
            }

            params.put("paymentId", paymentId);
            params.put("realPath", realPath);

            try {
                Connection conn = reportDataSource.getConnection();
                print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, params, conn);
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                System.err.println("--- SQL ERR - to get connection -----");
                log.error(Logger.EVENT_FAILURE, "--- Report already Compiled --- " + reportName);
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } catch (JRException e1) {
            log.error(Logger.EVENT_FAILURE, "Oops... Something wrong while rendering the report !!!");
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        return print;
    }

And finally the jrxml snippet:
<frame>
    <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="70" height="67" uuid="0af2e978-7c0c-4805-afb4-4069d1297a12"/>
    <image onErrorType="Blank" evaluationTime="Report">

        <imageExpression><![CDATA[$P{realPath}+"/geLogo.jpg"]]></imageExpression>

Additional Medicare Tax Under ObamaCare
Just in time for Thanksgiving we get the regulations detailing how the new Medicare tax is to be implemented. Note the marriage penalty built in below.
Taxable year
Beginning after December 31, 2012 0.9
Special rules regarding Additional Medicare Tax.
(1) General rule. An individual is liable for Additional Medicare Tax to the extent that his or her self-employment income exceeds the following threshold amounts.
Filling status
Married individual filing a joint return $250,000
Married individual filing a separate return 125,000
Any other case 200,000
Note: These threshold amounts are specified under section 1401(b)(2)(A).
(2) Coordination with Federal Insurance Contributions Act. (i) General rule.Under section 1401(b)(2)(B), the applicable threshold specified under section 1401(b)(2)(A) is reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of wages (as defined in section 3121(a)) taken into account in determining Additional Medicare Tax under section 3101(b)(2) with respect to the taxpayer. This rule does not apply to Railroad Retirement Tax Act (RRTA) compensation (as defined in section 3231(e)).
(ii) Examples. The rules provided in paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section are illustrated by the following examples:
A, a single filer, has $130,000 in self-employment income and $0 in wages. A is not liable to pay Additional Medicare Tax.
B, a single filer, has $220,000 in self-employment income and $0 in wages. B is liable to pay Additional Medicare Tax on $20,000 ($220,000 in self-employment income minus the threshold of $200,000).
C, a single filer, has $145,000 in self-employment income and $130,000 in wages. C's wages are not in excess of $200,000 so C's employer did not withhold Additional Medicare Tax. However, the $130,000 of wages reduces the self-employment income threshold to $70,000 ($200,000 threshold minus the $130,000 of wages). C is liable to pay Additional Medicare Tax on $75,000 of self-employment income ($145,000 in self-employment income minus the reduced threshold of $70,000).
E, who is married and files a joint return, has $140,000 in self-employment income. F, E's spouse, has $130,000 in wages. F's wages are not in excess of $200,000 so F's employer did not withhold Additional Medicare Tax. However, the $130,000 of F's wages reduces E's self-employment income threshold to $120,000 ($250,000 threshold minus the $130,000 of wages). E and F are liable to pay Additional Medicare Tax on $20,000 of E's self-employment income ($140,000 in self-employment income minus the reduced threshold of $120,000).
D, who is married and files married filing separately, has $150,000 in self-employment income and $200,000 in wages. D's wages are not in excess of $200,000 so D's employer did not withhold Additional Medicare Tax. However, the $200,000 of wages reduces the self-employment income threshold to $0 ($125,000 threshold minus the $200,000 of wages). D is liable to pay Additional Medicare Tax on $75,000 of wages ($200,000 in wages minus the $125,000 threshold for a married filing separately return) and on $150,000 of self-employment income ($150,000 in self-employment income minus the reduced threshold of $0).
(e) Effective/applicability date. Paragraphs (b) and (d) of this section apply to quarters beginning on or after November 29, 2013.

Holiday (Lock) Inn
I'm dreaming of a Whitecaps season
Not like the ones we've had before
Where the plastic grass is
Used for forward passes
Because the team is trying to score
With every blog post that I write
Where every signing
Doesn't leave me pining
For players that I once thought were shite
Where all that matters is the game
No Front Office ruses
With poor excuses
That leave a lingering sense of shame
Where a midfielder scores a goal
Where there's some improvement
In the pass and movement
And every player knows his role
Not like the one we had this year
Where BC Place is
Filled with hopeful faces
Who have some good football to cheer
That makes me glad to be alive
No more early pressing
Then acquiescing
To just sit back once we get to minute five
That doesn't feel like a curse
No more troubles
And no more bubbles
And the best that we can say is "It could be worse".
Not like the one that has just gone
I've had more than plenty
Of Twenty-twenty
So bring on Twenty twenty-one
Posted on December 19, 2020 Tags Vancouver WhitecapsLeave a comment on Holiday (Lock) Inn
I live in a village now.
Strange that it would take a global event to limit our lives to the local. To lower our horizons to two or three blocks.
But in days like this the coffee shop knows my order, the bar knows my beer, the store knows I don't need a bag and ID is no longer required when collecting a parcel from the post office.
They know me and I know them.
But not really.
All we really know are the three dimensional avatars that drift in and out of each others lives from time to time.
But that's enough to create a connection. A shared experience. A common thread.
So maybe the Whitecaps were on to something with their "It Takes a Village" marketing campaign? Maybe they were right to try and turn the the team into an emblem for belonging?
But then the world changed and a connection got severed.
How could it not?
We were all so busy burying our heads in our own lives that we didn't have the energy (physical/emotional) to spare for a team that barely even played in Vancouver.
That wasn't their fault. But the necessary distance this year and the constant change of personnel over the last two has made it hard to to turn the majority of the team into those three dimensional avatars we need them to be.
Ali Adnan has been around long enough for us to know that he will argue with anybody while a game is ongoing and we know that Russell Teibert will listen to the coach's instructions with all the sombre seriousness of a toddler trying to button up a raincoat.
But Bikel, Veselinovic and Owusu?
We barely know them outside of pixels on a screen and disheartening heat maps.
All the indications from the club are that there will be less turnover of the squad in preparation for next season and, while that may be a disputable decision from a footballing perspective, it's almost essential in terms of a sense of kinship.
In an ideal world we love the players in our team, in a good world we root for them and in an acceptable world we hate them for the pain they cause.
It's a cruel world in which we don't even know who they are.

There's an alternate timeline out there when, upon arriving in Vancouver, Marc Dos Santos decided to keep Kei Kamara for the 2019 season.
The veteran forward scored a dozen goals and, while that wasn't enough to get the team into the playoffs, it was enough to keep the season alive until near the end and create the perception of progress.
In 2020 Lucas Cavallini arrives in a team that is already fashioned to play with a target man and, although a pandemic reeks havoc across the globe, Cavallini's goals are enough to push Vancouver into the post-season.
Everyone is agreed that Dos Santos has the Whitecaps moving in the right direction.
But that isn't the timeline we are living in and another failure of a campaign means that the reasons to keep Dos Santos are explanations for his failures rather than explications of his successes.
Too high a player turnover in to the first season, the disruptive effects of the pandemic in the second.
Perhaps the latter stages of this year have shown that he can put together a decent team given the right players? But there's been nothing yet to indicate he can make the eleven better than the sum of their parts.
Chances are that he will be allowed to take a run at 2021, but nobody wants to see another season where Vancouver is coached by someone who thinks achieving the bare minimum is a worthy goal to be aimed for. Where excuses are as abundant as baseless transfer rumours.
But, future speculation aside, the Whitecaps played their final game of the season against an LA Galaxy team who are even more dysfunctional than they are and ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.
It takes character to be so committed to winning such a meaningless game, but it takes more character to be committed to winning meaningful games and that particular trait has eluded this team for the longest time.
But none of us can begrudge this squad and staff the relief of returning home after what has been the strangest of seasons.
And there will surely be time enough for a full post mortem and more idle speculation in the coming weeks.

Vancouver Whitecaps tread softly into the dying of the light
The Vancouver Whitecaps 2020 season was always going to be more interesting for the questions it raised in retrospect than it was to watch in real time.
Questions such as, what conclusion can we draw about any player or coach given the circumstances?
In more "normal" times would Marc Dos Santos have been able to shape this squad into one that resembled an effective unit or not?
The season was put out of its misery (barring more Covid related nonsense) by a 1-0 loss to the Portland Timbers on Sunday evening. A loss that encapsulated the year as whole.
The Whitecaps played the game as though trying to win it was a little bit too ambitious. Best to keep it tight and hope the lucky break fell their way rather than to their opponent.
And that's the price you pay when you live your life by the coin toss.
If the limit of your dreams is to squeak into the playoffs then don't be surprised if your dreams get trodden on.
If you don't try to beat a terrible LA Galaxy team, then don't be surprised if they steal a last minute winner.
If you rest almost the whole team for a game against Seattle then don't be surprised if that defeat turns out to be as important as the defeat you suffered with all the rested players back.
There are mitigating circumstances flying around like murder hornets in a vacuum tube of course.
But, in the end, the Whitecaps never really controlled the things they could control and that was their undoing.
There will be time enough to go over what all of this means in the coming weeks and months but, right now, no one would blame the coaches and the players if they forewent the final meaningless game against the LA Galaxy and got out of Dodge before Tuesday.

Vancouver Whitecaps play it safer than Safe Jack McSafe the safety inspector
Marc dos Santos a had a cunning plan.
But it almost worked, depending on your perspective.
Either a second string Vancouver Whitecaps team kept the Seattle Sounders at bay for fifty=five minutes, or the Whitecaps missed the opportunity to take advantage of a rusty Sounders team and allowed them to play themselves in to the game and on to victory.
And perhaps medical sporting science is now so exact that the difference between players playing for forty-five minutes and thirty-five minutes is a finely calibrated decision based on lung capacity, blood work and the extensive use of an MRI machine.
Or, perhaps Dos Santos decided to ride his luck for an extra ten minutes before making the change, only to discover that his luck had decided to throw him unceremoniously into a ditch.
Couple this game with the late defeat to the LA Galaxy and it's hard not to leap to the (perhaps unfair) conclusion that the reluctance to make substitutions when they are clearly needed has cost the Whitecaps at least one, perhaps two, crucial points in the run in to the end of the season.
We won't really know the answer to that until the end of the campaign and even then it will still be defendant on the manner in which MLS adjudges how the points tallies will be evaluated.
But in a year such as this it seems likely (and oddly fitting) that Vancouver could miss out on the joys of the post-season because the coach displayed an abundance of caution.

Vancouver Whitecaps Pick Up a Win
If Jake Nerwinski doesn't have a recurring nightmare in which an adorable yellow penguin floats delightfully over his head only for him to slowly turn and see it being voraciously devoured by an angry minotaur dressed as an MLS left sided attacker then his subconscious isn't doing half the work it should be doing.
But, even if his sleep is peaceful, opposing teams have certainly found a cheat code to score against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Whip in a cross from the right to a player on the left, who will inevitably be standing unguarded because every Whitecaps defender will have been drawn into the centre.
It happened again against San Jose on Saturday evening but, this time, it didn't matter quite so much because Vancouver went from a timid and tepid first half to a lively and another word beginning with "L" second half.
One of the main reasons for that turnaround was the performance of Cristian Dajome, who is slowly becoming one of the most important players on the team.
There are still times when it feels as though he has never seen a football before in his life, but there are also times (becoming more frequent of late) when he is both the main outlet and the main creator and he is developing a burgeoning partnership with Fredy Montero and, to a lesser extent, Lucas Cavallini.
And, speaking of burgeoning partnerships, Bikel and Owusu in the middle and Godoy and Veselinovic at the back are slowly, sometimes very slowly, settling into what could, at times, be called cohesion.
There's still a long way to go and the chances of the Whitecaps making the playoffs are probably fifty-fifty at the very best (and the chances of progressing in any meaningful way after that are much, much worse) but these tantalizing glimpses of a team playing with a plan are more than we had a few weeks ago.
And that's not nothing.

The night is blue for the Vancouver Whitecaps
Now with a couple of added observations.
There was a time when a 1-0 defeat at the LA Galaxy wouldn't have been too dispiriting a result for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Since time is now a fluid concept it's hard to be definitive about when that was. Last month? Last year? A week on Tuesday?
But it definitely wasn't on this particular Sunday, because a somewhat buoyed Whitecaps were facing a somewhat deflated Galaxy and, for about sixty minutes of the game, the Whitecaps coped.
To be fair, the Whitecaps were decent in the first half. Not stellar, not great, but decent. the midfield looked like an actual thing (a bigger achievement than it sounds) and there were flickering embers of hope that Godoy and Veselinovic could develop into a decent partnership given enough games.
The biggest problem is that this mini renaissance of late is predicated on the return to the team, and the return to form, of Fredy Montero. And the problem with that is it forces Dos Santos to play a system he really doesn't want to play.
So, for next season, what are the options? Rely on Montero maintaining this standard for another year? Find a direct replacement for him? Play the system Dos Santos prefers? Find a new coach?
Not one of those options offers concrete grounds for hope and the Whitecaps will be back facing another off season of hoping to make the right move rather than knowing what move they want to make.
Almost looking as likely as the home team to score and safe in the knowledge that, if they avoided doing something stupid, then LA would probably fail to score anyway.
But they did do something stupid.
Or rather Marc Dos Santos did something stupid by not doing anything; certainly not enough.
With at least thirty minutes to go it was clear that neither Cavallini nor Montero were going to be difference makers in this game and it was equally clear that they were failing to hold on to the ball.
So take them off. Give the Galaxy defence the pace and energy of Ricketts or Bair to worry about. At least that would prevent the Whitecaps defence having to deal with the ball returning to them more often than was really necessary.
But the change never happened. Cavallini continued to lumber and Montero continued to chug along to no avail and the Galaxy got closer and closer to the winning goal until, with a bitter tang of justice, it finally came.
Maybe Dos Santos didn't feel comfortable taking either of his two star forwards off? Maybe he wanted to let the bench players know that he rates them so poorly that they aren't worth using even when the first choice players are dead on their feet?
Maybe he just thought he'd ride his luck out to the end?
After the game Dos Santos said that he knew his players were tired but he left both Montero and Cavallini on because of their quality in front of goal.
That would make more sense if either of them had looked remotely like scoring in the second half and, while throwing speed on for the final twenty minutes is the most simplistic of all football tactics, there are times when it makes sense.
This was clearly one of those times and everybody but the Whitecaps coaching staff could see it.
Whatever the reasoning, both he and his team now have a week to ponder forlornly on what might have been.

Vancouver Whitecaps: Which way now?
The Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 win over LAFC on Wednesday evening offered a glimpse into two different reams.
Three if you also include LAFC.
But we saw two Whitecaps teams. One was a Vancouver that offered a glimpse of what they could be but aren't and one was a Vancouver that demonstrated what they shouldn't be but are.
One was a Whitecaps team that was organized, pressed effectively with Owusu and Bikel controlling the midfield and Godoy and Veselinivoc offering a solid central defensive partnership while, up front, Dajome and Montero combined to create chances for striker Lucas Cavallini.
The other Whitecaps team was one that conceded a late goal through a penalty and then lost their heads and the ability to control the game, sat back hoping that everything would be okay, but somehow managed to hang on for three points.
The first of those teams we like. They are enjoyable to watch, easy to root for and will get results in MLS.
The second of those teams we don't like because they have caused us much misery over the years and we have learned to distrust them and the results they bring.
In the end the good triumphed over the evil (a rarity in 2020) and suddenly the playoffs look to be a pleasant possibility rather than a laughable prospect.
But the Whitecaps that could be still need to engage in the eternal struggle with the Whitecaps that are.
And that struggle will never end (that's what "eternal" means).
Bush-6, Nerwinski-5.5, Adnan-6, Godoy-6*, Veselinovic, 6, Teibert-5.5, Dajome-6, Owusu-5.5, Bikel-6, Cavallini-6, Montero-5.5

Vancouver Whitecaps: A Thanksgiving Miracle!
With more and more MLS teams being forced to postpone games due to positive Covid tests it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Vancouver Whitecaps could simply self isolate their way into a playoff place.
The less likely route to the post-season would be to win some games of football but, astonishingly, that's what they did on Saturday evening by beating Real Salt Lake 2-1 at Providence Park.
It all seemed a bit too familiar for most of the game, with the Whitecaps starting with some urgency but little control before the "visitors" took the lead thanks to Vancouver defending that looked more like a display in an abstract art retrospective than the work of professional athletes.
For the second half Salt Lake decided, with some justification, that if they just sat back Vancouver would huff and puff in vain and the points would be theirs.
But Marc Dos Santos finally decided to do what everybody else in the known universe knows he should do far more often and gave Michael Baldisimo some minutes.
Baldisimo sent in the free kick that forced the own goal equalizer and then hit a first time cushioned pass to Ali Adnan that began the attack that Lucas Cavallini eventually completed.
When I die and go to hell the flickering Betamax video I will be forced to watch on an endless loop will be a parade of Vancouver Whitecaps midfielders receiving the ball with their back to goal, having space to turn into a dangerous position, but instead opting to play a safe pass back to a central defender.
Baldismo at least spares me that fate before my time by always looking for the simple, but positive, pass.
In the closing minutes Vancouver endured the obligatory backs to the wall desperation accompanied by the mandatory injuries to their goalkeeper, but they hung on for the three points that lend the veneer of respectability to their place in the standings.
Can they build on this?
Probably not, but a win is a win is a win.

The Exchange: Leading with Humility
Global Health Corps' Barbara Bush and health systems expert Krishna Rao compare notes on mobilizing others to advance health.
Leading big changes in global health requires systems thinking, a desire to work outside of silos and across cultures—and humility, says Barbara Bush, co-founder of Global Health Corps. In a wide-ranging discussion, Bush compares notes with Krishna Rao, PhD '04, MSc, a health systems expert and assistant professor in International Health. The pair touch on how to mobilize others, overcome pushback from the powers that be and lead change within oneself. Their discussion came at a signal moment for Bush as she stepped down in January as GHC's CEO and transitioned into being the organization's board chair.
KR: How do you identify people, Barbara? I'm in the business of teaching. I kind of have a way of finding out if someone is a good student or a good researcher. You're in the business of identifying leaders. How do you do that?
BB: That's a great question. We really look at it in two ways. One is the hard skills necessary to effect change. A lot of that is around systems thinking and systems skills. The other piece [is] leadership practices that are critical to effecting change: the desire to learn from others, the desire to work across cultures and do so in a way that is focused on collaboration and seeing value in all cultures.
For us, [it's] humility, collaboration, and … seeing the responsibility to inspire and mobilize others. We need many voices at the table, but we also need many doers effecting change at the table. It's not either/or. It must be both.
KR: What attracted me to your organization was your objective to create leadership around equity. That is something that my own work has been concerned with. I don't think [that] in this world things really move unless there's strong leadership.
BB: So much of leadership is bigger than just effecting change in your silo. It's about using your voice. It's your responsibility as a leader to use your voice to effect change and bring others to the table. We started really because we saw this huge opportunity to take advantage of the fact that so many young people are interested in global health and saw that as a great opportunity to engage young leaders.
Their desire is to serve others, but so much of that is around listening and learning from others. The world is not going to get less global, so [it's critical to] work across cultures and have the fluency to work across cultures in a way that is respectful and learning-oriented.
KR: I think Thailand, due to the leadership of a few people, is a great example of a country that created a universal health coverage system. In my opinion, that was a tremendous thing. There's research that says you need to do this and that to ensure health care for everybody, but in the end, it was about a few people who took on this idea of universal coverage in their country and decided that they would move the political parties and they would move the bureaucracy to make it happen.
For me, that drove home the importance of having such kind of champions, or of even nurturing such kind of champions.
BB: Absolutely. Leadership, and the idea of yourself as a change agent and taking on a bigger scope of work, is what we see as the greatest potential lever for change in global health.
KR: When your fellows go back to their countries and they try to bring about change, do they meet with resistance from the established order, so to speak, who would like things to continue as they are?
BB: Certainly. All of us are working against the status quo in many ways. Our fellows and our alums have this shared experience of feeling that pushback, but also this extreme shared belief in health equity. When you think of yourself as one of 900 people working together, it's a different mindset than, "I'm just one person and I'm feeling broken down because these challenges seem so big."
I imagine you experience that yourself in terms of working within systems in countries and [feeling] that pushback. How do you navigate that?
KR: I'll have to confess that I've largely been a researcher. I have for a long time believed that my role really was just to get a paper published and then that it was somebody else's job to take the findings of that and make use of it. [But] I have also realized that you can write as many papers as you want but nothing might really happen unless there are people who can see the importance of what you do.
In the past year or so, I've started working with an NGO in India. They take politicians in power and try to educate them on different issues: health, education, technology, what have you.
I got involved with teaching some of these members of parliament and legislative assemblies on health, for instance. For me, it was a profoundly moving thing. The general perspective is that these are uncaring people. Many of them actually want to do things; they want to bring about change. They don't know about a lot of other experiences. For instance, they did not know about what Thailand had done to achieve its health coverage. I felt that became my role, of trying to inform them of what other countries are doing, what their problems were, how it might be applied to India's context and so forth.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is gearing upfor prime time, and as it's being rolled out for pre-order in various countries, it got its first commercial focusing on the handset's vivid SuperAMOLED Plus display. Just how vivid is it? This ad aims to convince us that it's too realistic - enough to fool a kid the fish on the screen is real. With this being said, don't leave your kids dropping your phone into the fish tank as the awesomeness of punchy colors on the 4.3-inch screen of the Galaxy S II comes for a retail price comparable or even surpassing that of a notebook.
Skip back for the full video below, but if you want more than your usual market speak about the wonders of Super AMOLED Plus, feel free to also check out our cold-blooded comparison detailing its pros and cons over some of the hottest screen technologies like iPhone's Retina Display and Super AMOLED.
Stupid commercial. I think they could have come up with another example to demonstrate the vividness of the Super AMOLED that wouldn't involve dropping the phone in water! Sammy, show your customers how the phone should be used, not the last thing in the world you should do to it! Luckily, Android users are smart enough to heed the warning in the commercial and know better than to drop it in water. iPhone couldn't run a commercial like this because the iDrones would start using their iPhones in the shower thinking it's waterproof lolololol.
I know I could have come up with something way better than that. I guess Samsung is prepping for much better commercials by dropping this crap. Only time will tell! lol What I really hope for is better software support in the U.S. Samsung STILL has a Galaxy S phone with 2.1. Poor Verizon Fascinate owners it looks like you will get Gingerbread before Froyo. Hopefully. My friend is bald now because every day he pulls his hair out because STILL there is no Froyo update. I really think this is the only Galaxy S phone in the world still running 2.1.
This is a must buy for me. I'm certain this phone will be one of the best selling phones ever. Good job sammy. So proud of you guys. I can't continue to wait for nokia. Maybe by next year, I'll consider any of their top notch phones. Android, here I come!!!
