Q: iOS: Flip whole app UI for Arabic & Hebrew like languages programmatically without storyboard I am designing my whole app UI programmatically without using Storyboard.
My application requirement is to flip whole app with the localised language.
I can achieve this by applying transformation on each and every elements.
But for whole app it is becoming complex.
extension for flipping elements :
extension CGAffineTransform {
    static func uiTransform() -> CGAffineTransform {
        if UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "i18n_language") == "ar" {
            let transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1, y: 1)
            return transform
        }else{
            let transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1, y: 1)
            return transform
        }
    }
}

extension call :
self.MasterView.transform = CGAffineTransform.uiTransform()

I tried to apply semanticContentAttribute but it is not working properly.
UIView.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft

Can anybody suggest that, how can I perform flipping more adaptively for whole app?

A: It's best to do the auto layout for this. Usually, While creating Auto Layout constraints programmatically used to be tedious, there are several excellent open source frameworks that provide a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for easily creating Auto Layout constraints in Swift code.
One of which I can suggest is TinyConstraints: https://github.com/roberthein/TinyConstraints.

Ardizzone: A Retrospective
The first major exhibition in 40 years of the work of Edward Ardizzone.
23 Sep 2016 to 22 Jan 2017, 10:00am - 6:00pm GMT/BST
"It's a gem of an exhibition; for fans of Ardizzone, and we are legion, it's a must." The Spectator
Edward Ardizzone is one of the most significant illustrators of the 20th century, whose wide-ranging output spanned children's books, literary classics, war illustration and much more.
Ardizzone's lively line-and-wash drawings were based on constant observation of the world, disciplined by classical figure composition. He is best-known for his illustrated children's books, in particular the 'Little Tim' series which he wrote and illustrated, starting in 1936 with Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain, all of which are still in print today.
This is the first major exhibition of Ardizzone's work in 40 years. From his relatively unknown early commissions to rarely seen original illustrations, the exhibition features over 100 pieces from public and private collections that reflect the incredible diversity of Ardizzone's career. Highlights include a Little Tim manuscript, mural artwork for a P&O ocean liner, ceramic figurines and poster designs for Lyons, as well as sketchbooks and illustrated correspondence.

The exhibition coincides with the publication by Lund Humphries of Edward Ardizzone: Artist and Illustrator, the first full illustrated monograph of Ardizzone by celebrated art historian Alan Powers.

Bechtel has partnered with BrightSource on the Ivanpah project as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, and is an equity investor in the project.
The US DOE's commitment to provide loan guarantees is a key milestone in the development of the Ivanpah project, providing crucial financial support for California's first large-scale commercial solar thermal power plant in nearly two decades.
Ivanpah will be the world's largest solar energy project, nearly doubling the amount of solar thermal electricity produced in the United States today. The facility will include three separate solar thermal power plants and generate enough electricity to run 140,000 homes, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 408,000t per year.


→ Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare form of muscular dystrophy with symptoms generally starting when an individual is 40 to 50 years old. It can be autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease or autosomal recessive.OPMD is a group of genetic, degenerative diseases primarily affecting voluntary muscles.It affects first — the eyelids (oculo) and throat (pharyngeal) — OPMD also can affect facial and limb muscles.
→ OPMD is caused by a genetic defect leading to production of extra chemical material that forms clumps in the muscle cells. It can be inherited from either one or both parents, and affects men and women equally.
→ Difficulty swallowing and keeping the eyes open are common. Later on, some people with OPMD may have mobility problems.
→ The diagnosis of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy can be done via two methods, a muscle biopsy or a blood draw with genetic testing.The genetic blood testing is more common.
A consistent diet planned with the help of a dietitian along with exercises taught by a speech therapist can assist with mild symptoms of dysphagia.
→ Surgical intervention can also help temporarily manage symptoms related to the ptosis and dysphagia. Cutting one of the throat muscles internally, an operation called cricopharyngeal myotomy, can be one way to ease symptoms in more severe cases.
→ Many of those affected with the proximal limb weakness will eventually require assistive devices such as a wheelchair.
→ As with all surgical procedures, they come with many risk factors. As the dysphagia becomes more severe, patients become malnourished, lose significant weight, become dehydrated and suffer from repeated incidents of aspiration pneumonia. These last two are often the cause of death.

Staff and children at a Doncaster primary are celebrating after inspectors praised its turnaround in fortunes.
Inspectors from education watchdog, Ofsted, found that Intake Primary, in Intake, had made 'rapid' improvement since its last inspection in March 2015.
Headteacher Helen Broad, along with other leaders, was praised for her 'inspiring and determined' leadership which has led to improvements in teaching and pupils' progress.
The school was given a good rating - a step up from its last rating of requires improvement.
Lead inspector Alan Chaffey said: "Intake Primary is now a securely good school.
Inspectors found that pupils are now making good progress in reading, writing and maths. But children do not make as good progress in maths as they do in reading and writing, with the most-able students not being sufficiently challenged.
Teaching has 'substantially improved,' and well-planned activities enrich pupils' learning and stimulate their interest.
Pupils were described as extremely well behaved, respectful to others and eager to learn.
Inspectors did highlight several areas for the school to improve on.
It must accelerate the progress and raise the attainment of the most able pupils in maths and teachers should use challenging and focused questioning more consistently during learning activities, so that all pupils think harder about what they are learning.
Attendance must also continue to improve after inspectors found that it is still below the national average.

Donald Trump: While Biden Keeps Americans in Lockdown, He's Opening America to Refugees
By Ameer Benno, The Western Journal March 2, 2021
In a recent appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said it will take until the "end of 2021" before we "will be approaching a degree of normality." Another of Biden's top health advisers warned that new variants of the coronavirus might lead to further lockdowns in months ahead.
It's one year into the pandemic, and indoor restaurant dining in many states is still limited at best, houses of worship are operating at a fractional capacity, entertainment and fitness venues are substantially restricted and many citizens continue to shelter in place at home. Throughout the country, school is a purely online experience.
But while Biden and the Democrats have clenched our economy, they have relaxed our borders.
Last month, the president signed an executive order aimed at revamping the U.S. refugee resettlement program and vastly expanding refugee admissions. Although his predecessor in the White House, Donald Trump, set the refugee admissions cap at 15,000, Biden aims to quadruple that number to 62,500 for the current budget year and raise it to 125,000 starting in October, when the 2022 fiscal year begins.
Today, @POTUS announced that he will soon sign an executive order to welcome 125,000 refugees during fiscal year 2022. 👏
We'll have full coverage once it's signed. There is more to be done to fully restore welcome, but for now, we're celebrating! #RefugeesWelcome #Welcome125k pic.twitter.com/13pcp8mxFF
— CWS (@CWS_global) February 4, 2021
The former president spoke out about the discrepancy Sunday.
During his keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, Trump said Biden has "already increased refugee admissions by nearly 10 times, but in effect, it will soon be hundreds of times as millions of people flow up through our soon-to-be-open borders."
"Your families still cannot go out to eat at local restaurants, but Joe Biden is bringing in thousands upon thousands of refugees from all over the world — people that nobody knows anything about," Trump said. "We don't have crime records, we don't have health records — what are they bringing in with them?"
Biden also has halted construction of the wall on the southern border and rescinded the "zero tolerance" policy under which the Department of Justice criminally charged all adult migrants caught sneaking into our country at locations other than designated ports of entry.
Just hours after Biden's inauguration, he placed a halt on most deportations — including of felons, MS-13 gangsters and convicted sex offenders — for whom immigration courts, after having provided the full panoply of due process rights, had issued orders of removal. Last week, a Texas federal judge struck down Biden's deportation moratorium, allowing the deportations to continue for the time being.
By presidential proclamation on Jan.20, Biden rescinded the national security travel ban on migrants coming from countries plagued by terrorism.
Biden also has jettisoned the "Remain in Mexico" policy under which asylum seekers were required to wait in Mexico while their claims are adjudicated in U.S. immigration courts.
Should Biden be bringing in more refugees while Americans are suffering?
Instead, he has reverted to the Obama-era policy of "catch and release," under which illegal immigrants, upon being apprehended, are issued the equivalent of a summons and released into the American interior — many never to be seen again.
The Biden administration is releasing these immigrants into U.S. communities without even giving them a COVID-19 test, according to A.J. Louderback, the sheriff of Jackson County, Texas. (While there have been no changes from the Trump administration to the Biden administration when it comes to testing migrants for COVID-19, the fact that the current administration is releasing more of them into American communities indicates a greater risk to Americans.)
These policies, along with Biden's proposal for wide-ranging amnesty for illegal immigrants, are causing a surge of unaccompanied minors at the southern border, and it's only expected to get worse.
In an ironic twist, while many American children have been denied a classroom education for nearly a year due to blue-state lockdown measures and the timorousness of Democratic elected officials to confront the teachers unions, unaccompanied minors in Department of Health and Human Services shelters are being provided in-person schooling.
It seems that the U.S. is wide open, after all — for everyone but Americans, that is.

Alka Tone Keto : I am not new to key weight loss terminology. What a safe Fat Burner! This will not stand a snowball's probability in hell wherever whatever your budget and taste, it might be possible to amass a weight lose to match. This blows my mind. The method was like this.

There are schools offering music production programs in Tennessee!
Each year, approximately 0.1% of Tennessee graduates receive degrees in music production. That means an estimated 217 music producers graduate from Tennessee's 5 music production schools each year.
The top-ranked school in Tennessee that has a music production program is Belmont University. Belmont University, which was ranked 68th in the country in 2010, is located in Nashville. 36 students graduated with a degree in music production from Belmont University in 2010. Tuition at Belmont University was $23,680 per year.
The second-ranked school in Tennessee with a music production program is Middle Tennessee State University, which is located in Murfreesboro. In 2010, it was ranked 69th nationwide. 6 students graduated with degree in music production from Middle Tennessee State University in 2010. Middle Tennessee State University charged in-state students $6,298 in tuition fees per year.
The third-ranked school in Tennessee that has a music production program is SAE Institute of Technology-Nashville. SAE Institute of Technology-Nashville, which was ranked 71st in the country in 2010, is located in Nashville. 110 students graduated with degree in music production from SAE Institute of Technology-Nashville in 2010. SAE Institute of Technology-Nashville charged in-state students $0 in tuition fees per year.
A music production degree from a Tennessee school... what next?
The government projects that by 2018, the number of music producers in the state of Tennessee will grow to 1,880. This would require a 30% growth in the profession.
Take a look at the graphs and charts below for additional Tennessee statistics regarding a career in music production and to compare salaries with a variety of related fields such as video production or music.

To examine whether the psychometric properties of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) at work scales could be replicated with post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) patients and to measure the criterion validity through its association with psychological distress.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 814 patients (739 men and 75 women) who had returned to work after their first MI and who were followed up by telephone at an average of 2.2 years after their baseline interview (1998-2000). The psychological demands scale of the Karasek Job Content Questionnaire was used to measure effort. Reward was measured with nine items from the original reward scale by Siegrist plus two proxy items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to test the theoretical structure of ERI. Using log-binomial regression models, we evaluated the association between ERI scales and psychological distress measured with the 14-item Psychiatric Symptom Index.
ERI scales and subscales demonstrated adequate internal consistencies. Exploratory factor analysis using oblique (promax) rotation yielded a three-factor solution with items representative of extrinsic effort (Factor 1) and reward subscales (Factors 2 and 3). Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good fit with the data. The internal consistencies and discriminant validities of the ERI scales were satisfactory. Furthermore, effort, reward, and ERI ratio were significantly associated with psychological distress (adjusted prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.26-2.31; PR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.16-2.29; and PR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.17-2.47, respectively).
The psychometric properties of the ERI scales were generally reproduced among post-MI patients. The associations with psychological distress supported the criterion validity of the ERI scales in this population.

Taste of Roanoke
Thursday, December 1, 2011 2:00 AM by Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge
The Roanoke Valley claims to have the highest number of restaurants per capita of any metropolitan area in Virginia, and I recently had a chance to sample some of them on a whirlwind three-day visit to the city of Roanoke.
I should say from the outset that my tastes lean toward fast food, comfort food and Southern food. Put an emphasis on Southern. Whenever someone asks my favorite type of cuisine, I answer "Southern," with visions of fried chicken, biscuits and other hearty fare in mind.
So, I'd have to say my favorite eatery was Thelma's Chicken and Waffles in downtown Roanoke's Historic Market District. Offering generous portions of soulful Southern dishes, this friendly place was founded by Thelma Mayo, who retired three years ago, and now is run by sons Albert and Chris.
As the menu states, Thelma's is a "family-owned business based on faith, hope and one love!" Our waitress, Gigi, asked if it was our first visit. When I answered yes, she said, "I want to welcome you into our family."
Soon my order, a plate with one waffle and a fried chicken breast, arrived. With guidance from my eating partner, David Aldridge of the Roanoke Valley CVB, I quickly picked up the technique of cutting off a chunk of waffle, adding a bitefull of chicken to the fork and dabbing it in syrup, a heavenly ritual I wish I could duplicate more often in my life. You also can get the waffle with chicken tenders, wings, or a leg and thigh.
Before I cut into the chicken breast, I sampled the waffle without syrup. It tasted so good plain that I asked Gigi if there was a secret ingredient.
"It's just made with a lot of love" was all she would tell me. Same thing for the surprisingly yummy collard greens, which apparently were simmered in bacon grease or ham hocks.
Thelma's menu also includes fried catfish, baby back ribs and meat loaf, plus sides and appetizers like macaroni and cheese, chili cheese fries and fried green tomatoes. And it offers a whole range of breakfast items, from flapjacks to omelets. (www.thelmaschickenandwaffles.biz)
Southern comfort food also appears on the menus of fine dining restaurants like Table 50, a few doors down Market Street. Choices on my visit included pan-fried chicken thighs in a red wine balsamic and country ham reduction with three-cheese mac and cheese and collard greens. But I chose as my entrée the Seared Carolina Grouper with fire-roasted corn polenta cake. The pulled pork barbecue in puff pastry with smoked corn and goat cheese was a winning appetizer. Others in our group had the Duo of Duck (confit leg and seared breast over herbed spaetzle, with fig), Australian rack of lamb over brussels sprouts-and-potato hash and blackened ahi tuna over andouille sausage and crawfish risotto cream. Table 50, like many downtown restaurants, occupies an historic building with exposed brick walls and a pressed-tin ceiling. (www.table50roanoke.com)
The cuisine at Blue 5, another downtown hotspot, also reflects Southern influences. In The Roanoker magazine's 2011 dining awards, it won in a record 24 categories. Named for the blues and jazz groups that play there, Blue 5 placed first in Best Downtown Restaurant, Best Ribs, Best Appetizers and Best For Group Gatherings.
Decorated with guitars and sporting the motto "Food for the Soul," Blue 5 offers signature items like Twin Biscuits, pulled barbecue pork piled high on two buttermilk biscuits; Chicken & Biscuit Soup; and Baby Greens, a medley of field greens, sliced strawberries, dried cranberries and candied pecans with goat cheese croutons and raspberry vinaigrette. Also on the menu: fried green tomatoes, collard greens and Swiss cheese macaroni pie, not to mention jambalaya, po-boys and shrimp Creole and grits. (www.blue5restaurant.com)
There's no better place to start the day than The Roanoker, a city institution since 1941. I could just feast on its fluffy biscuits spread with butter and jelly or doused in sausage gravy. Morning favorites also include pancakes, eggs, fried apples, grits and country ham in red-eye gravy. The traditional Virginia restaurant, also famed for its fried chicken and other comfort foods, moved to this location 30 years. A large room in the back is ideal for groups. (www.theroanokerrestaurant.com)
In downtown's Historic Market District, the recently renovated City Market building is now an attractive, light-bathed food court that abounds with good lunch spots. Have a burger or sandwich at Allsports Cafe or enjoy Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes at Hong Kong Restaurant. Euro Bakery serves burek, a phyllo dough pastry with spinach and cheese, beef and onion, and other fillings. It's Firefly Fare for fresh, locally sourced cuisine-anyone for teriyaki tofu or sweet potato and coconut soup? Queso offers Southwestern specialties.
City Bliss, a cheery coffeehouse steps from the City Market, sports bright turquoise, pink and chartreuse walls decorated with folk art and coffee bean sacks. It's a cozy place to linger over a latte or bubble tea, perhaps with a wrap or panini. (www.facebook.com/citybliss)
Roanoke Weiner Stand, opposite City Bliss, is a no-nonsense, 96-year-old eatery that serves up great hot dogs dressed in onions, mustard and a generous dollop of sweet, dark chili with a hint of cinnamon, Cincinnati-style. Run by the same family since 1916, the classic hot dog joint is plastered with well wishes from past guests, including celebrities, politicians and former First Lady Barbara Bush. An orange neon crown inscribed "Hot Dog King" adorns the exterior.
Grabbing a burger at the 10-stool Texas Tavern, a real hole-in-the-wall that often crops up in Roanoke dining roundups, is a time-honored tradition with locals, whether for lunch or a middle-of-the-night snack. Emblazoned with a neon "Eat" sign in the shape of an arrow, the tiny, white-painted diner (or dive?) is covered in black and red lettering, including the appellation "Roanoke Millionaires' Club." Specialties are the Cheesy Western, a cheeseburger with a fried egg and mustard-y relish ($2.35) and the $1.60 bowl of "Chile" (heavy on pinto beans and, yes, spelled with an "e"). If you don't want a grouchy cook slinging your plate across the counter, opt for the walk-up window. Texas Tavern, which also offers breakfast fare, has been in the Bullington family since 1930. (texastavern-inc.com)
At the other end of the dining spectrum is the Regency Room in the historic Hotel Roanoke, a downtown landmark since 1882. Steeped in tradition, this regal, special-occasion restaurant has been part of the hotel since 1938. A Southern graciousness pervades the circular, Georgian-style room, with its red draperies, red carpet, fluted white pilasters and lampshade sconces. The china's dogwood-blossom pattern pays homage to Virginia's state flower.
The Regency Room's signature dishes, peanut soup and spoonbread, are part of the lunch buffet, which also includes the heavenly bread pudding. Groups can combine a hotel tour with lunch. The dinner menu features such entrees as the Signature Crab Cake and Pecan-Crusted Appalachian Trout. Order Bananas Foster for dessert and enjoy the fireworks show as the waiter demonstrates his flambéeing talents. (www.hotelroanoke.com)
Wherever I go, I look for bakeries. In Roanoke I found several places to indulge my sweet tooth.
One morning I got off to a great start with a blueberry pancake breakfast donut at Uptown Joe's, a coffee/sandwich/donut shop in downtown's former Patrick Henry Hotel, now a sparkling apartment building for college students and others. The blueberry cake donut, covered in maple frosting and sprinkled with bacon bits, was a moist, melt-in-your-mouth wonder. Flavors change daily, but other decadent ones I spied were caramel apple cheesecake, red velvet, German chocolate and the Botetourt Bog, a chocolate-frosted chocolate donut with Oreo bits and chocolate sprinkles. Uptown Joe's is a new location for Blue Collar Joe's in Daleville, which has been recognized on national TV shows as one of the best donut shops in America. (www.uptownjoes.com)
Doug and Evie Robison's Wildflour Market & Bakery-I like the name-has been a fixture in the historic Old Southwest neighborhood for 16 years. Known for its salads, soups, breads, pastries and cakes like Death by Chocolate, Wildflour is the No. 1-rated Roanoke restaurant on yelp.com and placed first in Best Baked Goods in The Roanoker's 2011 competition. The emphasis is on healthy foods, and the Robisons grow some of the ingredients in the garden in back. The airy dining room, with fresh flowers on the tables, is accented with framed art for sale, including works by Evie. I loved the tomato cheddar soup. (www.wildflour4thst.com)
In the Historic Market District, On the Rise Bread Company is the place for artisan breads (like the signature walnut raisin), gourmet cookies and brownies, and sinfully rich cakes, plus paninis and soups like carrot ginger and potato rosemary.
For a different kind of dough, bite into the delectable thin-crust pizzas baked in the wood-fired oven at Fork in the City, on the edge of downtown. For dessert, consider the Brick Oven S'mores. (www.forkinthecity.com)
What could be more fun than a cupcake shop? For a gourmet experience, head over to the historic Grandin Village neighborhood, where Viva la Cupcake owner Pennie Ahuero, a former bartender, likes to experiment with fresh fruit in the batter and wine and liquors in the frosting. I still think about the banana cream pie cupcake I had.
The signature Four-Chocolate cupcake is filled with white chocolate custard, topped with butter cream frosting and drizzled with chocolate. The Cosmopolitan is made with cranberry and lime zest and topped with a cranberry-vodka-lime frosting. Other flavors include pineapple (topped with pineapple ring), strawberry and cookie dough. Peppermint and egg nog are seasonal favorites. (www.vivalacupcakes.com)
Just around the corner from Viva la Cupcake is Pop's Soda & Ice Cream Bar, a soda fountain known for its sundaes, milkshakes and old-fashioned sodas made with Homestead Creamery ice cream, a local favorite. It just won The Roanoker's award for Best Grilled Cheese. (www.facebook.com/popsicecream#!/popsicecream?sk=info)

Keown: LeBron saga more interesting than playoffs
12yTim Keown
Pick one: LeBron James or NBA playoffs
Tim KeownESPN Senior Writer
Senior Writer for ESPN The Magazine
Columnist for ESPN.com
Author of five books (3 NYT best-sellers)
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't finished a week of their offseason and we've already advanced to the package deal/conspiracy level of speculation in the LeBron James free-agency saga. The Bulls might end up getting John Calipari, which would get them LeBron, all because of the behind-the-scenes machinations of the great deal-maker and people-broker, William Wesley, from here on destined to be known as Worldwide Wes.
John Calipari has been in Chicago as an NBA coach before (visiting with the Nets). Jonathan Daniel /Allsport
Or the Calipari-James connection could be complete fiction, which is what we've been told from the authoritative source of Calipari's Twitter account.
When it starts out with something as juicy as Calipari drafting in LeBron's wake to take the Bulls' job after only one year at Kentucky, where could it possibly go from here?
Or, to put it another way, if it got this good this fast, we can't wait for what's coming.
What a weird world. What a weird 6-8 weeks it figures to be. It's the perfect combination of time, place and circumstance -- LeBron's free agency has been a story for two whole years now, so we'd probably feel a little bit cheated if the final buildup didn't include wild speculation and a surprising cast of characters.
And this is good. Now that the Cavs' collapse is over, we want more Worldwide Weses and more colorful tales of the guys in the inner circle -- the "family," as LeBron describes them. We want and maybe need Calipari to be part of this, if only so we can joke about whether Coach Cal can find a way to get LeBron to Kentucky for a year, perhaps solving everybody's problems.
It would be fantastic if we could toss a famous rapper and a Russian billionaire into the mix -- and hey, here come the Nets with Jay-Z and Mikhail Prokhorov. (Two years in Newark, though? Unlikely place for a guy who calls himself "King.") There are rumblings that Mark Cuban and the Mavericks "can't be discounted" -- we can almost see the sideways, knowing glance of the unnamed source -- which opens the possibility of great quotes and massive fines. And in the background are the other two premier free agents, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, perhaps waiting their turn on the carousel of LeBron rumors.
You want drama? This is about as much as the NBA conference finals have offered so far. Noel Vasquez/Getty Images
Plus, there's the looming specter of Cleveland to remain in the running. There's the distinct possibility that owner Dan Gilbert will do whatever it takes -- fire Mike Brown, sign Bosh, hire Worldwide Wes as GM -- to keep LeBron. After all, if James is truly chasing a title, he's closer to one in Cleveland than any of the other most popular suitors. Plus, he just built a $30 million ode to himself there. Whatever happened to the idea of unfinished business?
The LeBronfest is the culmination of a sports world that has become obsessed with prognostication, rumor and anticipation. This is manna from heaven for the chat shows and the televised roundtables. The best athlete in the sport possibly leaving title-deprived Cleveland for New York or Chicago or Dallas or your team here? There's no end to the possibilities.
And here's another thing: It couldn't come at a better time. Sure, LeBronmania is destined to become even more rabid and overblown -- hey, we'll do our best -- but it beats this season's playoffs. Whether it's the pace -- game, two days off, game, three days off, game -- or the matchups, this season's games make us pine for the days of the tape-delayed 11:30 p.m. Friday night telecasts, when it seemed like Calvin Murphy was always at the free throw line and Dick Stockton was at the mike. At least some things haven't changed.
In a word, this season's playoffs have been brutal. Of the first 12 series, just one went the full seven, and that one -- Hawks-Bucks -- was probably the most forgettable seven-game series ever. The average margin of victory through the first two rounds (63 games) was 12.5 points, a figure that was admittedly skewed somewhat by the Magic-Hawks abomination.
Even though he's no longer in uniform, LeBron and his future loom over the Cavs and the league. Brian Babineau/Getty Images
The final four holds some promise, or at least we can still hope. Jeff Van Gundy's words on the grim spectacle of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals rang true -- that's going to be a long, hard slog. And Game 1 of Suns-Lakers, a matchup that should work, didn't start well. The refs didn't even have to call carrying on Steve Nash for the Lakers to assert their dominance. Seven minutes of garbage time is a tough sell.
Here's an idea: Split the screen and show the games on one side, without sound, while the other half is taken up by talk of LeBron. Call in various guest speakers -- the traditional screaming heads, sociology professors, influential people from Worldwide Wes' past pixelated with voice distortion to prevent identification. I'm convinced we're one or two more blowouts from someone making this a reality.
Oh, and a special guest appearance by John Calipari, via Twitter.

LEGO Freemaker Adventures now on DVD!
In case you are not familiar with LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, the story begins after the events of "The Empire Strikes Back" and before "Return of The Jedi" and follows a family of scavengers who build and sell starships from battle debris strewn throughout the galaxy. When their youngest discovers a natural connection with the Force through an ancient artifact – the Kyber Saber – his world is turned upside down, and he and his family are thrown into an epic struggle against the Empire to restore peace and freedom to the galaxy. The Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new and familiar characters and learn the meaning of family. Trailer below.
The DVD/Blu-ray release includes all 13 action-packed episodes, for 199 minutes of great entertainment. It is also worth noting that the box mentions that this is Season One, which seems to indicate that the LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures will continue in the future, which is excellent news! Both versions also includes some extra collections of clips, behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews, which is always interesting.
Also, there are a couple of LEGO Star Wars sets related to LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, which includes all the primary characters; the #75145 LEGO Star Wars Eclipse Fighter for $29.99, and the #75147 LEGO Star Wars Star Scavenger for $49.99. Both are still available under the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.
That's true. Also books and DVDs with minifigs are more prone to getting tampered with.
You can find the episodes [for free] on YouTube, you know.

About Havas London
As Havas' flagship UK creative agency our job is really straightforward – to make a meaningful difference to the brands, the businesses and the lives of the people we work with. We are based in London King's Cross and are one of the 22 agencies that make up the Havas Village.
Reasons why us:
1. We are unique. We are the only agency in London that operates a truly channel neutral, single P&L, "village model". Every single marketing discipline under a single roof, run for you by a single business lead. Simpler, faster, more cost efficient.
2. We have a "start-up mentality in a network structure". We have transformed the work and culture to create an agency with an incredible new business record and an outstanding client list.
3. A simple belief. That the work we do together should be meaningful. It should have a positive meaningful impact on the lives of our target audience and the people who create it.
4. Our client satisfaction scores. We track our performance and care about our clients – our scores have increased every quarter and not all sit in the top quartile of satisfaction. Our clients matter to us.
5. We obsess about creating work that makes a meaningful difference - winning IPA awards for Ella's Kitchen, six British Arrows for 'Every Lesson Shapes a Life', and with 'Long Live the Local' the government freezing beer tax for Britain's Beer Alliance.
THE BLACK PLAQUE PROJECT: NEW INITIATIVE BIDS TO END THE POSTHUMOUS DISCRIMINATION OF BRITAIN'S BLACK HEROES
Currently, just 1.6% of the London's official blue plaques are dedicated to Black people
Nubian Jak Community Trust and Havas London have partnered to install specially designed black plaques across the capital, commemorating the contributions of Black people throughout history
This campaign, which launched on ITV1 this weekend, aims to turn these temporary black plaques blue, making them permanent
It comes, intentionally, as Black History Month draws to an end – marking a commitment to the ongoing celebration of Black history throughout the entire year
African and Caribbean community organisation Nubian Jak and creative agency Havas London have teamed up to create The Black Plaque Project: a new initiative to commemorate the rich, diverse contributions of Black people throughout history through a series of black plaques across the capital.
London's famous blue plaques have served as a permanent tribute to Britain's notable men and women since 1866 – yet only 1.6% of those honoured in this official way are of African or Caribbean descent. Often ignored or discriminated against by the establishment during their lifetime, many historically significant individuals continue to be excluded posthumously. Their names, and the important contributions they made to society, are at risk of being forgotten or even erased from history forever.
To raise awareness of this imbalance and do something visible to address it, The Black Plaque Project will see specially designed black plaques installed on buildings across London to celebrate the lives of some of its many notable Black residents – who, despite their achievements, continue to be officially overlooked.
The project was launched on ITV London's flagship news programme on Friday 30 October and was deliberately timed to mark the end of Black History Month – representing a commitment to the ongoing celebration of Black History throughout the year, not just for a single month.
The Black Plaque Project kicks off this week with the first plaque to be installed recognising the contributions of musician Winifred Atwell. Described by Elton John as his first hero on the piano, 1954 saw Atwell become the first Black person to go to number one in the UK singles chart with Let's Have Another Party. Her plaque will go up in Brixton, where she lived throughout her early years in the capital.
Upcoming plaques will include Len Dyke, Dudley Dryden and Tony Wade, the fathers of the Black hair care and beauty industry in the 1960s and among Britain's first Black millionaires (to be installed in Tottenham, where they opened their first shop), and Fela Kuti, the musician widely acknowledged as the pioneer of Afrobeat, campaigner against colonial politics in Nigeria and inspiration to generations of activists and artists (to be installed in Greenwich, where he studied at Trinity College of Music).
In total, permissions for 30 black plaques are being secured, with an interactive Black Plaques map at www.blackplaqueproject.com allowing the public to find the locations of the commemorations as they are installed and learn more about their recipients.
The names of the 30 Black pioneers to be commemorated were selected in consultation with Dr Jak Beula, founder and CEO of Nubian Jak Community Trust – which has, with little institutional support, paid for and erected a number of plaques and statues highlighting Black achievement over the past 16 years.
As well as narrowing the gap between the significant contributions of Black people and the public awareness and celebration of them, The Black Plaque Project also aims to raise money for Nubian Jak to help turn these temporary black plaques blue, making them permanent.
Dr Jak Beula, founder of the Nubian Jak Community Trust said: "There are nowhere near enough blue plaques celebrating Black achievement and history in Britain, so it is vital this project has a lasting legacy. Partnering with Havas on The Black Plaque Project helps us to raise awareness of this institutional discrimination and puts the pressure on those institutions – it shouldn't just be us doing this.
"We must ensure these plaques commemorating our common cultural heritage keep going up and stay up – there are so many more stories that need to be told to celebrate our rich, diverse past and to inspire future generations."
The Black Plaque Project website will also include a series of podcasts hosted by Dr Jak, featuring luminaries from London's Black community today including Artistic Director of the Young Vic, Kwame Kwei-Armah; Labour MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy; and influencer and blogger Kelechi Okafor.
Sam Adio & Ken Abalos, the Havas London creative team behind The Black Plaque Project, said: "We're incredibly proud to see this project come together. Black history is British history; it's the history of our city, our home and our community, and for too long it has been overlooked and ignored. This is our chance to shed light on this exclusion and discrimination, and to do something to end it."

Miloslav Krbec (3. července 1924 Olomouc – 12. února 2003 Olomouc) byl český jazykovědec, bohemista, literární historik, editor, překladatel a pedagog – přední znalec díla Josefa Dobrovského.

Život
Narodil se v Olomouci v rodině policejního úředníka. Po maturitě na zdejším Slovanském gymnáziu a dvou letech totálního nasazení za války studoval bohemistiku a rusistiku na Filosofické fakultě University Karlovy. Roku 1949 absolvoval již na olomoucké filosofické fakultě (FF UP), kde také nastoupil jako asistent Slovanského semináře a vyučoval zde v letech 1949-1959. V Olomouci pak působil postupně na Vysoké škole pedagogické, Pedagogickém institutu a Pedagogické fakultě až do odchodu do důchodu v roce 1989. Jeho hlavní učební disciplinou byla fonetika a fonologie. Celoživotní láskou doc. Krbce však zůstal Josef Dobrovský. Editoval řadu prací z jeho pozůstalosti a byl členem komise pro vydávání děl Josefa Dobrovského při Slovanském ústavu Akademie věd ČR. Na PdF UP byl řadu let výkonným redaktorem všech řad sborníků AUPO (Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis) a jeho příspěvky v těchto sbornících vyvolávaly ohlas naší i zahraniční odborné veřejnosti. K rozvoji kontaktů se zahraničím přispíval Miloslav Krbec nejen svými odbornými znalostmi, ale také dalšími aktivitami spojenými se svou překladatelskou a tlumočnickou prací.

Dílo

Miloslav Krbec se zasloužil o poznání Dobrovského odkazu jako překladatel, editor a historiograf. Přeložil – kromě dílčích pasáží v edicích – Dobrovského autobiografii (Olomouc 1978; německý originál v časopise Bratislava 2, 1929). Edicím Dobrovského textů se začal věnovat od poloviny 50. let jako asistent Oldřicha Králíka. Spolu tehdy připravili svazky Historická miscelanea a Kritische Versuche pro řadu Spisů Josefa Dobrovského v nakladatelství ČSAV; vydání se ale neuskutečnilo. Dále editoval především Dobrovského korespondenci: roku 1959 vydal jejich soupis (ve Sborníku Národního muzea) a s V. Michálkovou svazek Der Briefwechsel zwischen Josef Dobrovský und Karl Gottlob von Anton (Berlín 1959). Následovaly edice Dobrovského korespondence s J. Müllerem (1964), G. H. Pertzem (1983), A. Habrichem (1985), J. V. Hormayrem (1985), J. Ch. V. Engelem (1989). Když byla roku 1971 obnovena pod vedením K. Horálka činnost Komise pro vydávání Spisů Josefa Dobrovského (vznikla v r. 1930 při Královské české společnosti nauk), stal se Miloslav Krbec jejím členem a tajemníkem. S Miroslavem Laiskem vydal Bibliographie der Veröffentlichungen von Josef Dobrovský (Praha 1970). Dílu Dobrovského věnoval i další studie: Dobrovský v českém přízvuku (SaA 1953), Nové objevy rukopisných prací Josefa Dobrovského (ČLit 1972), K problematice vydávání děl Josefa Dobrovského (Práce z dějin slavistiky 2, 1973) aj.

Q: Gridview Rowcommand cell to public string I have a gridview with a rowcommand event.
I would like the value of temp string to be used outside my rowcommand.
Is this possible?
protected void gwActivity_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
   GridViewRow row = ((e.CommandSource as Control).NamingContainer as GridViewRow);
   string temp = row.Cells[1].Text;
}

A: You could make a private field in your class like:
private string _temp;

and then assign your temp string to it:
protected void gwActivity_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
   GridViewRow row = ((e.CommandSource as Control).NamingContainer as GridViewRow);
   string temp = row.Cells[1].Text;

   _temp = temp;
}

Q: iOS offline HLS file size In iOS 10, Apple added offline HLS.  In the documentation, they mention:

Important: Downloaded HLS assets are stored on disk in a private
  bundle format. This bundle format may change over time, and developers
  should not attempt to access or store files within the bundle
  directly, but should instead use AVFoundation and other iOS APIs to
  interact with downloaded assets.

It appears the access to information about these files is limited.  I'm trying to find the size of the stored file.  Here is what I do.  After download finishes, I save the relative path
func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, assetDownloadTask: AVAssetDownloadTask, didFinishDownloadingTo location: URL) {
        //Save path
        video?.downloadPath = location.relativePath

    }

later I reconstruct the file path as follows
if let assetPath = workout.downloadPath {
                let baseURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSHomeDirectory())
                let assetURL = baseURL.appendingPathComponent(assetPath)

This works:
try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: assetURL)

This does not and returns an error that the file doesn't exist:
let att = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: assetURL.absoluteString)

I can load in the video asset as follows and play it offline with:
let avAsset = AVURLAsset(url: assetURL)

But this returns me an empty array:
let tracks = avAsset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo)

Once again I'm just trying to get the file size of an offline HLS asset.  It appears the other answers on SO for getting a file size using FileManager don't work for these nor do the answers for getting the size of a loaded AVAsset.  Thanks in advance.

A: Swift 5.3 Solution
Here is how to calculate offline HLS (.movpkg) File Size:
/// Calculates HLS File Size.
/// - Parameter directoryPath: file directory path.
/// - Returns: Human Redable File Size.
func getHLSFileSize(at directoryPath: String) -> String? {
    var result: String? = nil
    let properties: [URLResourceKey] = [.isRegularFileKey,
                                        .totalFileAllocatedSizeKey,
                                        /*.fileAllocatedSizeKey*/]

    guard let enumerator = FileManager.default.enumerator(at: URL(fileURLWithPath: directoryPath),
                                         includingPropertiesForKeys: properties,
                                         options: .skipsHiddenFiles,
                                         errorHandler: nil) else {

                                            return nil
    }

    let urls: [URL] = enumerator
        .compactMap { $0 as? URL }
        .filter { $0.absoluteString.contains(".frag") }

    let regularFileResources: [URLResourceValues] = urls
        .compactMap { try? $0.resourceValues(forKeys: Set(properties)) }
        .filter { $0.isRegularFile == true }

    let sizes: [Int64] = regularFileResources
        .compactMap { $0.totalFileAllocatedSize! /* ?? $0.fileAllocatedSize */ }
        .compactMap { Int64($0) }

    let size = sizes.reduce(0, +)
    result = ByteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(size), countStyle: .file)

    return result
}

Usage
if let url = URL(string: localFileLocation),
    let size = self.getHLSFileSize(at: url.path) {
    result = String(size)
}

A: The only way is to sum all files sizes inside a folder where your downloaded content is stored.
- (NSUInteger)hlsFileSize:(NSURL *)fileURL {

    NSUInteger size = 0;

    let enumerator = [NSFileManager.defaultManager enumeratorAtURL:fileURL includingPropertiesForKeys:nil options:0 errorHandler:nil];
    for (NSURL *url in enumerator) {
        NSError *error = nil;

        // Get values
        let resourceValues = [url resourceValuesForKeys:@[NSURLIsRegularFileKey, NSURLFileAllocatedSizeKey, NSURLNameKey] error:&error];

        // Skip unregular files
        let isRegularFile = [resourceValues[NSURLIsRegularFileKey] boolValue];
        if (!isRegularFile) {
            continue;
        }

        let fileAllocatedSize = [resourceValues[NSURLFileAllocatedSizeKey] unsignedLongLongValue];

        size += fileAllocatedSize;
    }

    return size;
}

A: Try this instead:
let att = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: assetURL.path)


If This Is a Marriage, Where's The Cake?
"Merger of equals" is a nice phrase….brings to mind harmony, togetherness, compatibility, and a common concern for the well-being of one another.
It's also, for the most part, a total fabrication.
If you've been through a merger, you already realize this. If, on the other hand, you're viewing this with cocked eyebrow and a look of disbelief, consider the code broken.
In an effort to minimize the emotional response of employees involved in an acquisition, you'll hear terms that are meant to remove the sting. Referring to a merger as an "equal" proposition rarely does the deal justice. Somebody is the winner, somebody is the loser.
If you're unsure which category your company falls into, well….I'd like to invite you to my next poker game.

Q: Priority Queue in swift I'm trying to implement a version of Dijkstra Algorithm to find the shortest route for a bus to take from start to end. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a library or other way that swift provides a type of priority queue so it seems I will have to code my own.
This being said, can anyone point me in the right direction to do this?
Currently my thinking is as follows:
Write a class which will hold the priority array. In this class there will be a method which receives a value, adds it to the priority array and then sorts it according to priority (In this case, distance). There will also be a get function which returns the highest priority item from the array.
I would like to know if I'm close or still way off in my understanding of a priority queue.
Thank you.
EDIT :
This is my code so far. Seems too short and brutal... I must be missing something in terms of the concept.
var priorityQueue = Dictionary<String, Int>()
var firstElement: String = ""

func push(name: String, distance: Int)
{
    priorityQueue[name] = distance
    var myArr = Array(priorityQueue.keys)
    var sortedKeys = sort(myArr) {
        var obj1 = self.priorityQueue[$0] // get obj associated w/ key 1
        var obj2 = self.priorityQueue[$1] // get obj associated w/ key 2
        return obj1 > obj2
    }

    firstElement = myArr[0]
    var tempPriorityQueue = Dictionary<String, Int>()
    for val in myArr
    {
        tempPriorityQueue[val] = priorityQueue[val]
    }

    priorityQueue = tempPriorityQueue
}

func pop() -> String
{
    priorityQueue.removeValueForKey(firstElement)
}

A: You should use heap sort for the priority. I think this is optimal! Try it out in playground!
import Foundation
typealias PriorityDefinition<P> = (_ p1: P, _ p2: P) -> (Bool)
class PriorityQueue<E, P: Hashable> {
    var priDef: PriorityDefinition<P>!
    var elemments = [P: [E]]()
    var priority = [P]()
    init(_ priDef: @escaping PriorityDefinition<P>) {
        self.priDef = priDef
    }
    func enqueue(_ element: E!, _ priorityValue: P!) {
        if let _ = elemments[priorityValue] {
            elemments[priorityValue]!.append(element)
        } else {
            elemments[priorityValue] = [element]
        }
        if !priority.contains(priorityValue) {
            priority.append(priorityValue)
            let lastIndex = priority.count - 1
            siftUp(0, lastIndex, lastIndex)
        }
    }
    func dequeue() -> E? {
        var result: E? = nil
        if priority.count > 0 {
            var p = priority.first!
            if elemments[p]!.count == 1 {
                if priority.count > 1 {
                    let _temp = priority[0]
                    priority[0] = priority[priority.count - 1]
                    priority[priority.count - 1] = _temp
                    p = priority.last!
                    siftDown(0, priority.count - 2)
                }
                result = elemments[p]!.removeFirst()
                elemments[p] = nil
                priority.remove(at: priority.index(of: p)!)
            } else {
                result = elemments[p]!.removeFirst()
            }
        }
        return result
    }
    func siftDown(_ start: Int, _ end: Int) {
        let iLeftChild = 2 * start + 1
        if iLeftChild <= end {
            var largestChild = priDef(priority[iLeftChild], priority[start]) ? iLeftChild : start
            let iRightChild = 2 * start + 2
            if iRightChild <= end {
                if priDef(priority[iRightChild], priority[iLeftChild]) {
                    largestChild = iRightChild
                }
            }
            if largestChild == start {
                return
            } else {
                let _temp = priority[start]
                priority[start] = priority[largestChild]
                priority[largestChild] = _temp
                siftDown(largestChild, end)
            }
        }
    }
    func siftUp(_ start: Int, _ end: Int, _ nodeIndex: Int) {
        let parent = (nodeIndex - 1) / 2
        if parent >= start {
            if priDef(priority[nodeIndex], priority[parent]) {
                let _temp = priority[nodeIndex]
                priority[nodeIndex] = priority[parent]
                priority[parent] = _temp
                siftUp(start, end, parent)
            } else {
                return
            }
        }
    }
    func isEmpty() -> Bool {
        return priority.count == 0
    }
}
let Q = PriorityQueue<Int, Int> { (p1: Int, p2: Int) -> (Bool) in
    return p1 > p2
}
let n = 999
for i in 0...n - 1 {
    let start = NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970
    Q.enqueue(i, i)
    let end = NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970
    print(end - start)
}

A: Look at the code for "heapsort". Heapsort creates a "heap" which is basically a priority queue with the largest element first, then it repeatedly pops off the largest element of the heap = priority queue, moves it to the end of the array, and adds the previously last array element to the priority queue.
Inserting and removing items in a priority queue must be a O (log n) operation. That's the whole point of a priority queue. Calling "sort" while adding an element to the priority queue is absolutely absurd and is going to totally kill your performance.

A: You may be interested in looking at two open source projects that I've authored. The first is SwiftPriorityQueue: https://github.com/davecom/SwiftPriorityQueue
Your implementation of a priority queue sorts on push which is O(n lg n). Most implementations of a priority queue, including SwiftPriorityQueue, use a binary heap as the backing store. They have push operations that operate in O(lg n) and pops that operate in O(lg n) as well. Therefore your suspicions are right - your current implementation is unlikely to be very performant (although pops are technically faster).
The second is SwiftGraph: https://github.com/davecom/SwiftGraph
SwiftGraph includes an implementation of Dijkstra's Algorithm.
I'm surprised neither of these projects was easier to find since they have been out for over a year and moderately popular, but based on current answers to this question in the last year, it seems I need to work on discoverability.

For nearly four weeks leading up to Christmas Christians recognise a period called Advent. It means 'coming'. It is a time of spiritual preparation. Coming refers to Jesus' first coming as a baby, but it also looks forward to a day when Jesus is expected to return in triumph at his 'second coming' to establish perfect justice and a new order of peace.
Originally Christians marked Advent as a time when they refrained from excessive eating and drinking. Then Christmas Day reintroduced them to the joys of feasting. Christmas celebrations lasted for twelve days, with gifts exchanged as a climax at Epiphany (6 January). Today, however, Advent is more likely to be associated with accelerating festivity, with the days following Christmas something of an anticlimax until 'twelfth night', on which decorations are removed. Many Christians worldwide are trying to revive the spirit of Advent by setting aside time to pray and address global poverty.
Christmas Day is celebrated as the anniversary of Jesus' birth, although the actual date is not known. Most Christians celebrate it on 25 December. However, the Orthodox Church (the ancient group of Christian churches found especially in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia) follows a different calendar and celebrates on 7 January. Christians make a point of taking communion on Christmas Day. Many make it the first thing they do as the clock strikes midnight.
On 6 January the Christmas festival continues with a celebration of Epiphany, which means 'the appearance'. Christians remember the visit of wise men (magi) to Jesus, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The Christmas tradition of exchanging gifts originally honoured these men, who were the first non-Jews (Gentiles) to worship Jesus. It forms a reminder that in Jesus God was giving himself for the benefit of the entire world.
Orthodox Christians use this day to recall the baptism of Jesus as a grown man. The significance of Jesus being baptised was that he identified himself with human beings in all their need. They mark the day by praying for God's blessing on rivers, wells and water sources.
Christmas has never been just an escapist festival for Christians. Those who treat it seriously recognise that not all the world is able to face the days with frivolity or joy. The day after Christmas, Boxing Day, was historically marked as the feast of St Stephen. He was the first man to be put to death rather than give up his belief that Jesus was God. And two days later a day remembering the Massacre of the Innocents recalls Herod's attempt to destroy Jesus by killing all male babies in Bethlehem. Although not so widely marked as Christmas Day, it gives Christians the opportunity to pray for children in today's world who suffer as a result of the actions of adults.
Paul, one of the Christian church's first leaders, quotes a hymn about Jesus that was being sung within thirty years of his death.
Jesus Christ was born to save.
Santa Claus was not prominent in the pastor's theology. He had a gift of making you feel you'd better go home and give all the presents to the poor and spend Christmas with a bowl of soup, and not too many noodles in it either. He preached the gospel straight, and as he said, the gospel is meant to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. He certainly afflicted the Lutherans.
The lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory. Like a thunderstorm we all go through it together.

Q: Is there any pure java way to convert .wav to .mp3? I've struggled a lot with Java but could not combine a working example of Java .wav to .mp3 converter. This converter will be used in a Java applet so it should depend only on libraries written in pure Java with no underlying C code calls.
Can anyone provide a fully working example?
Thank you

A: Read your wave file @ http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/
and encode to mp3 @ http://openinnowhere.sourceforge.net/lameonj/
As pointed out, lameonj is not a pure java solution. For that the options don't seem so many, but see the other SO question: MP3 Encoding in Java

A: I use Jump3r to convert wav to mp3 on my project because the html5 player of IE11 can't play wav files.
Jump3r is the simpliest solution found to run inside a tomcat servlet. I wasn't able to integrate others solutions like jave certainly due to the security manager... Jump3r is a pure java program.
Jump3r is available on the maven repository (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/de.sciss/jump3r/1.0.4) and the sources are available on github (https://github.com/Sciss/jump3r)
To convert a file, you should call the main method (in the following code, I use an inlined version of the main method to catch/throw an IOException if necessary)
private void convertWavFileToMp3File(File source, File target) throws IOException {
    String[] mp3Args = { "--preset","standard",
        "-q","0",
        "-m","s",
        source.getAbsolutePath(),
        target.getAbsolutePath()
    };
    (new Main()).run(mp3Args);
}

A: If speed is not important for you, take any c implementation of MP3 (e. g. lame) and try to compile it with NestedVM to Java bytecode. It will be slow (like an emulator in an emulator), but it should work.
And it should be way less work than trying to port a MP3 library to pure Java.

A: See this link on SourceForge  http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump3r/files/
Its JAR's only (no source code), but it does work on both PC and Android, but no necessarily as described in the authors posting http://pure-java-mp3-encoder.blogspot.com.au/
I got it to work by just using the jump3r-1.0.3.jar file, as a library, and instantiated
mp3.Main then used called mp3.run()
e.g. part of my Android code
String[] mp3Args = {"--preset","standard",
            "-q","0",
            "-m","s",
            Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+"/myfile.wav",
            Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+"/myfile.mp3"};
    Main m = new mp3.Main();
    try
    {
        m.run(mp3Args);
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println("ERROR processing MP3 " + e);// Some bug in Android seems to cause error BufferedOutputSteam is Closed. But it still seems to work OK.
    }

I suspect it would be possible to directly call the lame encoder passing buffers of data etc, but as the exact API for this Java version is not documented, it would require some research

A: Another potentially relevant project is jffmpeg.  This apparently aimed to an JMF support for a wide range of formats using both native and Java codecs.  Judging from the 'formats' page, they made significant progress on the pure Java side.  Unfortunately, the project has gone quiet.
This doesn't directly help the OP in the short term.  But if he or others are keen to have pure Java codecs in the long term, consider getting involved.

A: Just check out the following source code.
http://jsidplay2.cvs.sourceforge.net/jsidplay2/jump3r
It is still work in progress, but a working example of the encoder part of a pure java based lame library.

Effects of blasting on damage and grindability of impacted rock
CIM Bulletin, Vol. 1, No. 1091, 2006
P.D. Katsabanis, S. Gregersen, G. Kunzel, M. Pollanen, C. Pelley, and S. Kelebek
The file is a zipped PDF document.The importance of blasting to mill operations has been discussed in a series of publications, especially in the last decade. Literature suggests that there are two types of benefits from finer blast fragmentation: productivity increases and decreased energy requirements at the mill. Productivity increases have been linked to fragmentation improvements while energy requirements in the mill can be expected if the work index changes with blasting.In the present investigation, an effort was made to quantify the damage due to micro-fractures produced by detonating explosives, establish relationships between damage and easily measurable parameters of the rock, and finally examine relationships between damage and work index, as well as damage and timing of impact. The work index was measured using both standard tests and relative tests in a Bond ball mill and a Bond rod mill. The material used was a competent granodiorite representing a fairly coarse-grained rock.Initially, the level of damage was intentionally kept low so that material properties for the damaged samples could be measured. Later, powder factors were increased to examine the effect of realistic powder factors on work index. In the first series of tests, the uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, Poisson's ratio, P-wave, S-wave velocity, point load test index, crushing, and grinding work indices were evaluated for samples without any blasting load and for samples that had received a variety of blast loads, ranging from a single impact with low-strength detonating cord, to a combination of impacts at different times, and more significant impacts with higher powder factors. It was shown that the P- and S-wave velocities and rock-strength parameters decrease even at low impacts, suggesting that the rock is damaged by microfractures, although macro fracturing was not observed. At impact levels lower than the ones necessary to produce fragmentation, a decrease of point load index was observed, showing potential benefits at the crusher level.Damage values appear to be affected by timing, suggesting that the superposition of the stress waves produced by the detonating explosives influenced the damage process. Since small, unstemmed charges were used, the gases produced by the explosive are not expected to have played a role on the damage process. Damage was also affected, as expected, by explosive energy concentration. Fragmentation was achieved at higher impact levels, introduced by elevated explosive consumption. Fragments are believed to carry microfractures as well and their work index was studied in a series of tests in a ball and rod mill. Some influence of blasting on work index was recorded in these tests. The tests revealed a reduction of work index, which appears to be affected by the powder factor and the distance of the fragments from the borehole. The reduction of the work index achieved for this rock was between 5% and 15%.Experimental data on unblasted rock and six types of blast configurations, as described, follows: Samples blasted with a single length of 5.3 g/m detonation cord (Type 1). Samples blasted with two lengths of 5.3 g/m detonation cord placed at diametrically opposite positions with no delay between the cords (Type 2). Samples blasted with two lengths of 5.3 g/m detonation cord with 50 ms delay between the cords (Type 3). Samples blasted with two lengths of 2.1 g/m detonation cord with no delay between the cords (Type 4). Samples blasted with two lengths of 2.1 g/m detonation cord with 50 ms delay between the cords (Type 5). Samples blasted with two lengths of 5.3 g/m detonation cord with 16 ms delay between the cords (Type 6).

Midday Meme Stock Report for 12\/7: Greenidge, IronNet, Ocugnen, Skillz\u00a0
The three major U.S. stock indexes were all trading solidly higher in the noon hour Tuesday, led by the Nasdaq's gain of more than 3%. The tech-heavy index reflected a boost of more than 3.5% in tech sector stocks. All 11 sectors traded higher at noon, with energy (up 2.9%) and consumer cyclicals (up 2.3%) the other major gainers. Crude oil traded up about 4.5% at around $72.60, and Bitcoin was up more than 2% at $51,000. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes had cut their earlier gains, but remained up by about three basis points.
Advancers far outnumber decliners on our meme stock watch list. The biggest gain so far Tuesday was Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GREE). The stock added about $4 to its share price since Friday's closing bell, even though news on the cryptocurrency miner is certainly mixed.
On Monday, a group of environmental organizations, including the Sierra Club, filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to halt expansion operations at the company's Dresden power plant that the plaintiffs claim the company and the local planning board incorrectly approved. That comes only a couple of days after U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Greenidge CEO Jeffrey Kirt seeking detailed responses to several questions by December 17. The stock price had dropped by more than half in the past 30 days, so it could be that investors think now's a good time to buy the dip.
Cybersecurity provider IronNet Inc. (NYSE: IRNT) added more than 16% to its share price Tuesday. The company had no specific news, but a more intense federal focus on cybersecurity attacks against businesses, governmental agencies and critical infrastructure may be lifting the shares out of its post-IPO doldrums. Shares more than tripled in value shortly after the late August initial public offering but have since fallen below the IPO price.
Gaming technology platform maker Skillz Inc. (NASDAQ: SKLZ) added about 15% in morning trading Tuesday. Two of Cathie Wood's ARK Invest ETFs together hold about 20.3 million shares of Skillz stock.
Vaccine maker Ocugen Inc. (NASDAQ: OCGN) dropped by more than 6% on Monday and traded down further in Tuesday's premarket. Shares were up more than 10% in the noon hour, likely on some buying-the-dip action.
Shares of Greenidge traded up more than 16% as the noon hour ended, at $17.58 in a 52-week range of $12.70 to $519.04 (split-adjusted). The average daily trading volume is around 3 million shares, and about 830,000 had been traded thus far on Tuesday.
IronNet stock traded up about 14%, at $8.31 in a 52-week range of $6.90 to $47.50. The average daily trading volume is around 7.4 million shares, and about 1.5 million shares had traded so far.
Skillz traded up about 13.8% to $9.62, in a 52-week range of $7.57 to $46.30. The average daily trading volume is about 14.7 million shares, and 10.3 million had changed hands already.
Shares of Ocugen traded up more than 10% to $5.97, in a 52-week range of $0.28 to $18.77. The average daily trading volume is 33.5 million shares, and about 11 million had traded on Tuesday.

Bandits reveal protected list
Posted June 26, 2019 by Budd Bailey
By Budd Bailey, Buffalo Sports Page Columnist
We all knew that the Buffalo Bandits had some difficult choices to make when it came to this year's expansion draft, where they will lose two players.
We got an idea just how painful when the list was released on Tuesday.
Buffalo exposed two of its top three and three of its top five scorers, in addition to some other veterans who have become familiar faces at the KeyBank Center.
To review, here's the protected list: Josh Byrne, Chris Cloutier, Mitch de Snoo, Chase Fraser, Matt Gilray, Thomas Hoggarth, Justin Martin, Ian MacKay, Steve Priolo, Dhane Smith and Matt Vinc. That's five forwards, five defenders/transition players, and a goalie.
The unprotected list: Reid Acton, Kevin Brownell, Jordan Durston, Craig England, Shawn Evans, Jon Hartnett, Zach Higgins, Dylan Malloy, Ethan O'Connor, Devlin Shanahan, Corey Small, Matt Spanger, Mark Steenhuis, Bryce Sweeting, and Nick Weiss.
Evans was the second-leading scorer on the team last season, and is a former league MVP. Small led the team in goals with 36. Durston had 47 points and was frequently praised for his willingness to do the "dirty work" on offense. Weiss and O'Connor also played in all 18 games last season.
The Bandits had a deep roster last season that took them to the finals. You knew a price was going to be paid for that. What's more, Buffalo was loaded with high draft choices from the last two years (four from the first four overall picks), which crowded the roster.
Still, this probably isn't the end of the story. Players such as Brownell reportedly are going to be unrestricted free agents, and therefore don't necessarily have to be protected. (I'm assuming that Smith and de Snoo will be back if they haven't agreed to new contracts already.)
Also remember that "side deals" are legal. For example, the Bandits could agree to send an extra player to one of the expansion teams if they agree not to select another player. This happened last season when Vaughn Harris and Zac Reid both ended up in Philadelphia.
The biggest name on the list is Evans, naturally. He is 33 and no doubt has a good-sized salary. It's also at least interesting that he was scratched for a late-season game without much of an explanation. Evans spent the first six years of his career in Rochester, and might be an attractive name as Knighthawks 2.0 get going this season. I have no inside information here, but we might have the makings for an agreement between the Bandits and Rochester. The Knighthawks could use a big name in order to rekindle enthusiasm after the original franchise moved to Halifax.
Small is 32, and it looks as if he was a victim of his age and the team's deep roster. (Note: His contract status was not listed on an unofficial league database.) Durston probably was left off the protected list in favor of Hoggarth and Fraser – not an easy decision. Weiss and O'Connor are handy guys to have around, but you can't keep everyone.
I'm not going to guess what the Bandits' roster might look like when the expansion draft ends next month. There are too many variables. But, there will be some pain involved, perhaps more than for any other team in the league. That's the price of success.
