Q: Remove elements List inside of a HashMap in constant time Manged to solve my problem. Instead of removing from the List I created classes containing the lists, the classes also contained an index which I incremented each time instead of removing the first element.
I'm trying to implement the Stable marriage algorithm.
I have a men = HashMap<String, List<String> where I loop over men.keySet()
When a certain condition is met I get a key, and I'm supposed to remove the first element of the list with that key:
int someCondition = listIWantToModify;
List<String> temp = men.get(listIWantToModify);
temp.remove(0);
men.replace(listIWantToModify, temp)

I want to remove the first element from the one of the lists inside the HashMap. What happens is that I get java.util.ConcurrentModificationException which I guess comes from the fact that I both remove and get items from the List in the same loop. When I call the following code:
List<String> replaceWithP = men.get(currentPartner);
replaceWithP.remove(0);
men.replace(currentPartner, replaceWithP);

I tried to do the following:
List<String> replaceWithP = new ArrayList<>(men.get(currentPartner));
replaceWithP.remove(0);
men.replace(currentPartner, replaceWithP);

But the algorithm is supposed to be O(n2) in the worst case and I was told that when I create the new ArrayList it is O(n) thus making my algorithm O(n3) in the worst case.
Is there anyway I can modify the list inside in constant time without getting the exception or do I need to rethink the whole structure of my implementation?
If so I'd love some suggestions on how to do that.

A: You don't need the men.replace line at all in the first example. You're directly modifying the list that's in the map. No need to put the same list in again.

A: The first item of an ArrayList cannot be removed in constant time. The last one can be. This operation removes an entry from the map in constant time:
List<String> temp = men.get(currentPartner);
temp.remove(temp.size()-1);

If you need to remove the first item, you should use a different data structure, such as ArrayDeque.

Jerry Ahern on Mack Bolan's Weapons
I've never made a secret about being a Jerry Ahern fanboy. I loved his books when I was a teenager.
Back in 2015, I became Facebook pals with author Stephen Mertz, who, I need not say, is a legend in men's adventure writing himself, having turned out titles for the Bolan series, as well as many others. In 1980, probably not long after Gold Eagle/Harlequin acquired the Mack Bolan series from Don Pendleton, the editors at GE asked Jerry Ahern for his opinions on which weapons Bolan, Phoenix Force, and several others, might use in the books. Ahern replied with two pages of well thought-out reasoning for this weapon or that, and a copy of the letter was forward to Mr. Mertz, who sent it along to me thinking I might like to add it to my Ahern collection. It was actually quite fascinated to read, and I've been meaning to post it on this blog ever since. I've included pictures of the actual letter, but transcribed it for the blog for easy-reading.
I'm not sure what to add, but I think it's safe to say Ahern's remarks were what made Gold Eagle replace the Pendleton-era Bolan weapons with the updated Beretta 93R and Desert Eagle the Executioner has used throughout the Gold eagle era. While Ahern suggested a different .44 Magnum (S&W, as you'll see), we know he approved of the Desert Eagle since he included it in THE DEFENDER series. I wish he'd have recommended the 93R over the 92, but for whatever reason the 93R wasn't on his radar at the time.
Here is Jerry's commentary:
Dear Andy:
The weapons suggested by your man from The Stony Man Farm team for Bolan to use do not make a heck of a lot of sense, as we discussed by phone. The guy's plot ideas sound terrific, and no offense to the fella, but although he may have a Federal Firearms License and be some sort of gun dealer, he apparently does not know the technical side of things terribly well.
First of all—the reason the Auto Mag has always been a ridiculous choice for Mack Bolan is that commercial ammunition is usually available only from one manufacturer—Norma—and is terribly hard to find. It may not be available at all anymore. The Auto Mag, aside from a reputation for power in the game fields and on metallic silhouette ranges, has also earned a reputation for poor reliability over the years. The guns tend easily toward jamming. Aside from the fact that they are huge, unreliable and generate such heavy recoil that shot-to-shot recovery time is greatly protracted, the gun almost invariably requires that both hands be free to hold it, certainly for repeated shots.
No real adventurer or agent would be caught dead with one—simply because he might be caught dead if he used one. A fine gun for handgun hunting, perhaps, but not for any type of defensive or police use. It may have a lot of pizazz but anyone with an ounce of firearms sophistication realizes it is a stupid choice for Bolan or anyone like him.
The Wildey Magnum which your writer suggests does not truly exist at this point in time, although prototype models do exist and the gun is still—as I gather—intended for production. The ammo has been generally available for some time, simply because Winchester, a major manufacturer, decided to offer it. But currently, anyone who wishes to shoot the ammo must do so in a single-shot T/C Contender pistol. Even if the first production guns were to appear tomorrow, there would still be problems. The recoil would be on the high side, though supposedly not as bad as the Auto Mag. The ammunition would not be available everywhere, though more available than fodder for the Auto Mag. But, most importantly, the gun has never been proven. What may prove acceptable in eventually game field and silhouette shooting use will likely not prove acceptable for combat. And, the gun may never actually exist—it has yet to be offered for the first time commercially.
If Mack Bolan must use a huge, non-combat type gun with a flashy appearance—which would be poor logic in the real world, of course—then the best bet to replace the Auto Mag would be the new Smith & Wesson Model 629. Simply a stainless steel version of the Dirty Harry Model 29 .44 Magnum, the gun actually does exist, has manageable recoil for a strong man, enjoys wide ammunition availability and is thoroughly reliable. I have recently tested one for GUN WEEK, THE AMERICAN HANDGUNNER, and SAGA. Aside from the fact that it is already one of the most sought after guns in the world, it is a good one.
Now, no really weapons-wise person would use a .44 Magnum for combat, but the 629 is perhaps the best compromise with pizazz and common sense with a super-powerful load. Many vice cops, narcs and others do use the .44 Magnum, so at least its use by Bolan would be within the vicinity of good sense.
The Beretta Model 1951 Brigadier 9mm Bolan carries, though somewhat odd a choice, is a rational one. Yet, if you wish to update Bolan's weapons a bit, he could switch to the newer Beretta Model 92S. This gun uses a fifteen-round double column magazine, has double action first round capability and features a fine decocking lever safety. Aside from a bit of additional girth at the grips over the older model (to accommodate the wider magazine with increased capacity) the guns are identical in appearance and Bolan's holsters would work with the new gun just as well as with the old one.
That .460 Weatherby Magnum Bolan uses for sniping people is the ultimate absurdity. A good, solid .308 or .30-06 would be far better, capable of being silenced when necessary, etc. The .460 caliber is fine for Rhino, overkill for people. Each time Bolan uses the gun, any gun-wise reader realizes the writer just picked the most powerful caliber he'd read about and really knows nothing about how the gun is really used. I would suggest a Steyr-Mannlicher SSG with synthetic stock and Kahles sniper scope, or just a much-worked-over Remington 700 BDL, either gun in .308. With either of these, he might even get into using a Leatherwood ART scope mount—the kind used extensively in Viet Nam by snipers—something we are given to understand Mack Bolan is intimately familiar with.
The Phoenix Force people should all be armed with handguns of the same caliber for ammo interchange when necessary. Most professional soldier types reportedly use a 9mm Parabellum (Luger) since ammo can be found all over the world and this is the handgun caliber of most European armies. Many 9mm pistols will also with the Soviet pistol cartridge which is similar to the 9mm. Recommendation for a specific gun would be the Browning P-35 High Power. If all the Phoenix Force guys carried these, scenes of pitched battles could include swapping magazines when one man runs out of ammo, etc. That was always very effectively done in the old "Man From Uncle Series" and professional people working together always try for ammo compatibility.
Grimaldi, for a nice twist, might use a gun that is a carryover from his Mafia flying days, as well as any clandestine flight experience for the government. This could be any one of a number of silenced .22 pistols, most likely and old High Standard HD Military or a Colt Woodsman, although if you can check that Sturm-Ruger wouldn't sue, the current (Viet Nam era) Special Forces/CIA assassination pistol is, by all reports, a Ruger MkI .22 automatic with integral silencer—these still being made about sixty miles from my house, as a matter of fact.
If Dagger is quite Continental and sophisticated, he'd probably go for a .380 ACP pistol like the Walther PPK/S or Beretta Model 84 when concealment is critical and a 9mm Parabellum when serious trouble is expected—probably a Browning High Power here too, but perhaps something with a little more in the exotic looks department, like a Walther P-38K (the old UNCLE gun), or the new Heckler & Koch PSP, a 9mm small enough to be carried for concealment as well, as would be the P-38K.
I'm not trying to sound presumptuous, but I am a weapons "expert" and you did ask. Personally, I carry a Detonics .45 automatic most of the time, in the warmer months when concealment is more difficult sometimes dropping down to a little snubby .38 Special Smith & Wesson. Sometimes, too, I use a six-inch Colt Python .357 Magnum. If I were in a situation of constant danger, like the fellas under discussion, I stick with the .45 or .357. If you want further information or amplification, let me know and I'll help as best as possible.
Hear from you soon, I hope.

Jerry Ahern: "The AMT AutoMag is a ridiculous weapon for Mack Bolan. It's notoriously unreliable!"
Also Jerry Ahern: "My boy John Rourke carries a brace of Seattle Detonics because COOL!"
LLOL!
Brian Drake October 23, 2018 at 4:32 PM
Well, at least the Detonics guns worked. Having handled a friend's Auto Mag, I can testify to the poor function Ahern points out. Neither he nor I could fire more than two rounds without a stoppage.
But you do have a point no the "cool" factor.
TC October 24, 2018 at 7:40 AM
If it had been my call, I would have armed Bolan with a 1911 of some kind. Maybe a Government Model, or, if he needed something a little more compact, a Combat Commander. And maybe a Detonics .45 for a second handgun, since it could use the same magazines as the Colts.
If they wanted something fancier, then maybe a Colt Gold Cup.
Bolan was a senior NCO in the Army, and a Vietnam veteran, so presumably he would have had some training and experience with a 1911 .45.
Brian Drake October 25, 2018 at 12:18 PM
I agree. Good choices. Of course, that's what I would pick, too, because I'm a 1911 nerd.
Will October 24, 2018 at 3:57 PM
I wonder how much of the unreliability of the .44 AutoMag was due to the ammo supplier? I had a friend who packed one of those as a deputy sheriff, and he stated that he had to roll his own, as the only factory ammo he could find was too underpowered to function the action properly.
Many years later, a new friend turned out to have been the dealer that sold him the AutoMag. First one he sold, and may have been the first one sold in the SF Bay Area.
A pal of mine has an Auto Mag with handloads, and we experienced the kind of malfunctions Ahern mentions. Could be things are slightly out of spec, or it could be the gun. Who knows. It's fun to shoot, though. I'd never want to take it into combat, however.
Sabre22 October 27, 2018 at 3:29 PM
I read and still have somewhere about the 50-60 Executioner Series.I also read the Penetrator Series about the first 15 or so. i really am a Fan of the Death Merchant fan though . I loved the weapons evolution and the style of the writing.
They're all fun books indeed.
As a huge Mack Bolan fan I own over 300 of the number series how about the new AR in .338 lapua as Mack's sniper rifle? Also what's wrong with the desert eagle in .50 cal I remember reading mack using one already

Home HP HP's new Chromebooks are rugged and supports Wacom Stylus
HP's new Chromebooks are rugged and supports Wacom Stylus
Darwin Suwal
HP's refresh of their Chromebook lineup sees it bring two new laptops intended for the upcoming school year. Both feature rugged exterior, thanks to the MIL-STD-810G testing simulations and gets a spill-resistant keyboard. This should keep the laptops safe from the clumsy hands of young school kids set out to shape our world.
HP Chromebook x360 11 G2 Education Edition
The first of which is the HP Chromebook x360 11 G2 EE, a 2-in-1 laptop with an 11″ (1366x768px) IPS touch display with Wacom EMR pen support. Powering the laptop is a dual-core Celeron N4000 processor or a slightly powerful Quad Core Celeron N4100. Both seem pretty underpowered but their use cases should remain pretty moderate.
Either way, both get 8GB of RAM with 32GB or 64GB of eMMC storage. The laptop is fairly heavy for its size at 1.47kg, although still very portable and should not be a burden for kids to take those to school every day. HP promises a creditable 11.5 hours of usage without the need to plug in a charger, and when you do, it recharges quickly too.
HP Chromebook 11 G7 Education Edition
The HP Chromebook 11 G7 EE comes with a similar 11″ display but isn't fully rotatable. It gets a 180-degree hinge, comes with both touch and non-touch versions. The non-touch version gets an SVA display (Samsung's version of VA display) while the touch display comes with IPS technology.
Battery life also sees a bump at 13-hours for the non-touch version while the touch display manages 11.5 hours. Apart from the display, battery life and hinge, all other aspects of the laptops remain the same. Both come with two USB-C Gen 1 ports (one on each side), a USB-A port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and an SD card slot.
They also get 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. There is a 720p front-facing camera and a 5MP "World-Facing" camera. The later is said to deliver augmented learning experience for the students. All these features were designed with simplicity, security, pricing, and shareability in mid, fitting for kids who want to learn.

Q: how to setup different toolbar using navigation controller component? I am actually not sure, how the correct way or the best practice to set different toolbar using navigation controller component
in my app. I want to set 2 different toolbars.

*

*green toolbar

*red toolbar

two toolbars with different colour. this is just to simplify the case, actually I have multiple toolbars
I am using navigation controller component. and currently on my Main Activity as the host, I set the green toolbar in my main activity using this code
        setSupportActionBar(green_toolbar)
        supportActionBar?.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false)

        // set up top hierarchy destination
        val appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(setOf(
            R.id.destination_home,
            R.id.destination_search,
            R.id.destination_user_control,
            R.id.destination_create_event)
        )

        green_toolbar.setupWithNavController(navController,appBarConfiguration)

so what is the best way to set different toolbar using navigation controller component ?
do I have to make those 2 different toolbars in my main activity? or do I have to set fragmentY destination(that has red toolbar) as another activity not as the fragment ?
or.... I don't know....please help :)

A: The answer below is for an app that use Bottom Navigation View, if you are using Navigation Drawer then use this anwer
so according the documentation from here , I need to set the toolbar in each fragment.

If, however, your top app bar changes substantially across
destinations, then consider removing the top app bar from your
activity and defining it in each destination fragment, instead.

so we will add the toolbar in each fragment instead of set it in MainActivity. if you set toolbar in each fragment, it also will make it possible to implement Collapsing Toolbar.
say for example in your bottom navigation menu you have home, profile and search fragments as top level fragment (root) like this

so in EACH top level fragment set the toolbar using this code in onViewCreated of your fragment.
val toolbar = view.findViewById<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>(R.id.toolbarInYourFragment)
val appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(setOf(
    R.id.destination_home,
    R.id.destination_profile  // set all your top level destinations in here
    R.id.destination_search)
)

val navHostFragment = NavHostFragment.findNavController(this);
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(toolbar, navHostFragment,appBarConfiguration)

you have to pass appBarConfiguration to remove back button in your toolbar. so you have to pass appBarConfiguration in each top level fragment (home,search,profile), not only in your home.
and for the rest of the fragments you don't need to pass appBarConfiguration, so for the rest of your fragments just pass this code in onViewCreated .
val toolbar = view.findViewById<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>(R.id.toolbarInYourFragment)
val navHostFragment = NavHostFragment.findNavController(this);
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(toolbar, navHostFragment)

and if your toolbar has menu, then add this code:
setHasOptionsMenu(true)

(activity as AppCompatActivity).setSupportActionBar(toolbar)

toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener { view ->
    view.findNavController().navigateUp()
}

to use AppBarConfiguration class , in gradle app you need to use navigation-ui-ktx artifact and you need to add compile options and kotlin options like this
android {

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8.toString()
    }

}

dependencies {

    def nav_version = "2.3.0-alpha04"
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:$nav_version"
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:$nav_version"
}

don't forget to add noActionBar in your res value style xml
 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

    </style>

A: use the code below if your app using Navigation Drawer, if you are using Bottom Navigation View, then use this answer
first, you have to remove the toolbar from MainActivity, and you have to set the toolbar in each your fragment xml. if you set toolbar in each fragment, it also will make it possible to implement Collapsing Toolbar. from the documentation in here, it is said

If, however, your top app bar changes substantially across
destinations, then consider removing the top app bar from your
activity and defining it in each destination fragment, instead.

remove the toolbar from your MainActivity. set your MainActivity xml like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:openDrawer="start"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <fragment
            android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
            android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            app:defaultNavHost="true"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:navGraph="@navigation/main_graph" />

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_drawer_header"
        app:menu="@menu/nav_drawer_menu" />

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

for example, my app will be like this

it has 3 top level destinations: message, chat and share
then set your MainActivity like this
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    lateinit var navController : NavController
    lateinit var appBarConfiguration: AppBarConfiguration

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(setOf(
            R.id.destination_share,
            R.id.destination_message, // set all your top level destinations in here
            R.id.destination_chat), // don't forget the parentheses
            drawer_layout // include your drawer_layout
        )

        navController = Navigation.findNavController(this,R.id.nav_host_fragment)

    }

    override fun onSupportNavigateUp(): Boolean {
        return NavigationUI.navigateUp(navController,appBarConfiguration)
    }

}

in EACH top level fragment, set it using the code below
class ChatFragment : Fragment() { // for Message and Share Fragment, will be the same

    lateinit var mActivity : FragmentActivity

    override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
        super.onAttach(context)

        activity?.let { mActivity = it }

    }

    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_chat, container, false)
    }

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

        setUpToolbar()

    }

    private fun setUpToolbar() {

        val mainActivity = mActivity as MainActivity

        mainActivity.setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
        val navController = NavHostFragment.findNavController(this)
        val appBarConfiguration = mainActivity.appBarConfiguration
        NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(toolbar, navController, appBarConfiguration)

    }

}

and in the child fragment, i.e if you want to show back button instead of hamburger button in your fragment, then use the same code as above, except the setToolbar method will be different, like this
private fun setUpToolbar() {

        val mainActivity = mActivity as MainActivity
        val navigationView: NavigationView = mActivity.findViewById(R.id.navigation_view)

        mainActivity.setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
        val navController = NavHostFragment.findNavController(this)
        NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(mainActivity,navController)
        NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView,navController)

    }

and if your toolbar has menu, then add this code in setToolbar method:
setHasOptionsMenu(true)

toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener { view ->
    view.findNavController().navigateUp()
}

to use AppBarConfiguration class , in gradle app you need to use navigation-ui-ktx artifact and you need to add compile options and kotlin options like this
android {

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8.toString()
    }

}

dependencies {

    def nav_version = "2.3.0-alpha04"
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:$nav_version"
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:$nav_version"
}

don't forget to add noActionBar in your res value style xml
 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

    </style>

A: It whould be more convenient to leave MainActivity layout with just navigation fragment and define needed toolbars in fragments layouts.
Then in each fragment onCreateView:
(activity as AppCompatActivity).setSupportActionBar(toolbar)

toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener { view ->
    view.findNavController().navigateUp()
}

For better example see how this is done in Android-Sunflower app by google:
https://github.com/googlesamples/android-sunflower

A: You must set separate toolbar on each fragments, but it a little bit confusing. I used library for solving this problem.
Use the navigation component in the same way. For every fragments do this.
Create toolbar in layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" />

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_margin="20dp"
            android:background="?colorPrimary"
            android:text="Next fragment"
            android:textColor="?android:textColorSecondary" />

    </FrameLayout>

</LinearLayout>

And use 'setupToolbar' method in fragment
class FirstFragment : Fragment(R.layout.fragment_first) {

    ...

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
        setupToolbar(toolbar)
    }

    ...

}

and don't forget to implement lib on your dependencies, but be careful this lib isn't on
release version, and may be changed.
repositories {
    ...
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.AlexanderGuru:MultipleToolbars:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

A room without windows is okay for a short stay, especially with private bathrooms and good lounge and communal areas in the hotel where you can work and socialise. Also, in some cases the rooms are built in renovated industrial or office buildings so there was already a large floor space but limited windows and outer wall areas. Done right and for the right purpose (short stays) a room without windows can work. All that said, as many have pointed out in the comments, this building can surely not live up to basic fire safety laws? But then maybe this is another thing the US law system is willing to ignore when a billionaire is footing the bill. I have huge respect and admiration for the architect for quitting, it was the Chancellor who should be out of a job. I hope this building never gets built. If it does, it should be turned into a prison for tax evading billionaires and millionaires. Then the name of the building really fits its purpose."

"I agree, but be aware that most common single use plastic bottles are not made of a material suitable for re-use due to the chemicals used in the plastic being transferred to the water over time, which is harmful to humans. We could just stop selling and transporting tap water under all the different brand names, and make more public available taps and only use safer BPE free plastic, metal or glass bottles to fetch our drinking water. For you Americans, you might consider voting for politicians who will address your drinking water situation and not leave cities like Flint, MI, withut clean drinking water."

"I remember spending many years working between semesters at university for the Salvation Army at their International headquarters in London. My parents worked there too and their old offices at 101 Queen Victoria Street was an amazing building with mainly small individual offices. As an office assistant doing graphic design or looking after fleet vehicles, I had my own little office with a number on the door. It was like something from the film Brazil, only pleasant. I am so sad they tore this building down and many other like them. It seems idiotic that there is now a booming industry trying to convert open-plan offices into the old buildings that had to be torn down or converted to make room for the large open spaces."

"All veneer furniture is not new, the trick is making it a productive and financially viable alternative to solid wood production. Veneer layered is plywood, of which Grethe Jalk's Bow Chair from 1963 is probably the most iconic example of a successful design made in 100% plywood veneer. Veneer is strong and light, but the tooling and machining needed to make any of these items make them unrealistic to mass-produce. The only exception being the straight cylinders which have several advantages over solid dowels and have been implemented in existing products (for example the PENNE chairs by Lammhults from 2016). Many of these forms look simple but the tooling for cylinders and profiles is very high at volume. Veneer material works like solid wood and warps, expands and contracts like solid wood. The strength of the glue holding the layers in shape is the determining factor. As art objects and experiments for future development, these designs are interesting, but you are not "stretching materials to new territories". Tone down that statement and focus on the interesting contrast between material lightness contrasted by the visual weight and you really have something. I am sure technology for pushing the limits of what an be done with veneer will continue to develop as solid oak becomes more and more difficult to harvest to meet demand. Maybe it will lead to us being able to mold veneer into shapes normally reserved for plastics and metals without financial limits. Fingers crossed :-)"

MPC Annual report 2017–18: Commissioner's review
MPC Annual report 2017–18: Letter of transmittal
MPC Annual report 2017–18: The year in review
MPC Annual report 2017–18: Focus for the coming year
MPC Annual report 2017–18: Services provided on a fee-for-service basis
MPC Annual report 2017–18: Governance, management and accountability
MPC Annual report 2017–18: Appendix: Review of performance by function
As the recently appointed Merit Protection Commissioner, I am pleased to introduce this annual report. The work done by the staff of the Merit Protection Commissioner is an integral element of the broader accountability and integrity framework for the Australian Public Service.
An important focus of our work involves providing the statutory scheme for review of employment-related actions; this scheme entitles APS employees to seek independent review of such actions if they are affected by them. We also administer the framework for the review of promotion decisions, and I am able to conduct inquiries as specified in the Public Service Act 1999 (including into alleged breaches of the APS Code of Conduct). The Public Service Act also provides for related fee-for-service work to be performed.
The year 2017–18 was unusual and challenging: the former Merit Protection Commissioner left the role on 31 December 2017 and a staff member became acting Merit Protection Commissioner for the ensuing six months, and there were staff movements and positions left vacant during the year. Despite this, the MPC staff managed the caseload effectively and continued to engage in proactive and value-adding activities such as outreach to APS agencies and making contributions in policy areas. These activities and achievements are outlined in this report.
In terms of accomplishments and the performance of my Office during 2017–18, it is important to acknowledge the two individuals who shared the position of Merit Protection Commissioner for most of the year, Ms Annwyn Godwin and Mr Mark Davidson. They both deserve credit for their achievements. It is also important, however, to recognise the work of both those individuals for different reasons.
Ms Annwyn Godwin served as Merit Protection Commissioner for a decade, during which time there were major changes to the APS operating environment. This required Ms Godwin to lead the office in adapting to the changes while continuing to promote and uphold the principle of merit and good public administration. Ms Godwin provided long and distinguished service in this position, and she should be commended—as should the staff who worked with her—for the contributions made to the accountability and integrity framework.
After Ms Godwin departed, Mr Mark Davidson was appointed Acting Merit Protection Commissioner from 1 January 2018 until my appointment on 25 June 2018. It is fair to say that it can be challenging to lead during a period of uncertainty and challenges, but Mr Davidson did this successfully. He performed the role with integrity, diligence and professionalism and brought credit to the Office during a difficult period.
Finally, I thank and acknowledge the staff of the Australian Public Service Commission for the service they provided throughout the year; this includes staff who worked directly on the functions of the Merit Protection Commissioner and those who provide support services to my Office, particularly in the corporate and legal areas.
Linda Waugh

Touchdown 5 Herbicide is Changing
This fall there has been a considerable number of formulation changes for non-selective, burn down herbicides. The latest change impacts Touchdown 5 which was cleared several years ago for use in bearing tree fruit, as well as nut crops, and vineyards. Touchdown 5 contains sulfosate, a nearly identical molecule to glyphosate which is the active ingredient in Roundup UltraMax (the new Roundup formulation available in 2001). However, the Touchdown 5 formulation is changing. The new formulation is Touchdown (no 5 as with the old formulation) and is very similar to the Roundup Ultra (not the new formulation available in 2001, but the one available this past year) formulation that has been available for several years. According to manufacturer's literature, Touchdown contains 4 lbs./gal. of glyphosate rather than 5 lbs/gal. of sulfosate like Touchdown 5. In addition to the change in active ingredient and concentration, the new Touchdown formulation contains an adjuvant.
I suppose the easiest way to view the formulation change is to realize that the new Touchdown formulation will be used identically to the Roundup Ultra formulation that was available in 2000.
After going through the changes, the easiest way to look at the Touchdown formulation change is that the new Touchdown formulation will used identically to Roundup Ultra that has been available for the past several years.

Q: Javascript modal close issues So I have a modal that opens when a UI icon is clicked and for some reason the modal will not close in any browser other than IE. Is there a simpler way of doing this? Or any browser specification I can add?
Here is my code:

$(ui).click(function modal() {
    el = document.getElementById("modal");
    el.style.visibility = (el.style.visibility == "visible")?"hidden":"visible";
});

 Summary Report Table

             Trans Count
             Trans Amt
             Match Count

             300
             $200,000
             4

    Close

Not sure why, but it will not let me indent or return on my code. Apologize for the poor readability.

A: You can try the following (assuming you're using jquery):
$(ui).click(function () {
    $("#modal").toggle();
});

The above code will toggle the modal (show it if it's hidden, or hide it if it's already visible) when you click the "ui" button


I found out Sunday morning what a wonderful little museum this is. It commemorates one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the 20th century, when Frederick Banting came up with the idea that led to the discovery of insulin. His upstairs bedroom is filled with emotional tributes left by visitors, many of whom wouldn't be alive without his research. Down the hall there's a room full of his artwork. Turns out he could also paint and in the style of the Group of Seven - maybe it should have been the Group of Eight! Truly a great site dedicated to one of our all-time greatest Canadians.
What is not often recalled is that Great War veteran F.G. Banting re-enlisted re the Second World War, and became an official Canadian War Dead, aeroplane a crash in then-British Colony Newfoundland. (Bur. Toronto Mt.Pleasant.) Oddly the Museum doesn't make much of this - not sure how many Nobel Prize winners died in their country's uniform...Major Sir Frederick Banting has a commemorative file on Vets Affairs decade-old,underpublicized, interactive Canadian VIRTUAL WAR MEMORIAL "identities conservation" project. (Ignore the poor purple graphic, suggesting it just covers WWI officers with MC. It goes back past the CWGC database of Canadians to the Boer War fallen, and continues adding names today. Luckily the City in Sesquicentenary year posted the WW2 Remembrance Books online, so those entries can be copied to their VWM files, Banting not there as not an official Londoner.
Not only is this city relucant to preserve its architectural patrimony but even organizations such as Banting House, ostensibly whose purpose is to protect the cultural patrimony: (the full historical record, beyond just the building, and abstract memory of Dr. Banting), has been reluctant to extend its reach beyond a few select artifacts and has famously declined to bid on many paintings by Banting that have come up for auction over the years.


In it the district shares ongoing efforts to foster "respect for diversity and helping our students develop their global and local identities". These efforts include Social-emotional learning (SEL), Restorative practices, Digital Citizenship and Ethnic Studies (at the high school level). I encourage families to read the post themselves and go online to share their thoughts and questions in the "Comments" section.
I truly appreciate the district's thoughtful and ongoing approach to creating welcoming and inclusive schools. As a former educator I also appreciate the district's respect for staff in providing them with options and resources (rather than one-size-fits-all mandates.) I know this is ongoing work and look forward to learning about lessons, online resources, and professional articles the I anticipate the district is sharing within the educator and parent community.
While this BIG PICTURE work goes on, I wanted to share a few questions I am hearing from SFUSD parents. These relate to how the District implements its broad plans in specific and tangible was. I encourage you all to ask these questions at site and district meetings, and add to this list.
Does the District currently track reported incidents of hate speech and targeted harassment? If so, how is this data collected and shared?
What systems are in place to ensure Black culture is visible and celebrated in ALL schools?
What systemic supports are in place for Muslim, Arab and Latino students and families? For undocumented families?
How are we ensuring homophobic language ("That's gay" and "f*ggot") and misogynistic language (b*tch, c*nt, etc.) are not tolerated in schools?
I've shared these questions with district leadership and will definitely be posting when I get more information. In the meantime, I wanted to share some thoughts on practical ways the district can support families and educators pushing for safe and inclusive schools.
To be clear, the Student and Family Handbook is THE KEY to ensuring students feel safe and welcome in our schools. Make sure you READ and RE-READ this important document.
The district has made efforts to make this more family-friendly… (much appreciated!) Nonetheless, in many cases, it's dry reading. That's because much of it had to be written in legalese. That is, much of it is CA State Ed Code or SFUSD Board Approved Policy. Meaning, if a school or the district isn't doing what it's required to do, that's a BIG PROBLEMO, Knowing district and state policy is the first step in advocating for equity, quality and safety in our schools.
I didn't… until I read the handbook. Is your school staff getting this training?
Last year, when my daughters and I reported incidents of hate speech and bullying at their school, I was surprised to learn that many staff and students (and even a few Board Members) were unaware of the Safe School Line. It would be really beneficial to students, families, and teachers if schools could post Safe School Line information in every hallway, bathroom and classroom.
They could also make it a regular practice to share information about complaint procedures related to supporting safe and supportive schools, this includes reporting Sexual Harassment, Hate Speech, Racial Discrimination, etc. Again, the Safe School Line and Complaint Procedures are all listed in the SFUSD Student and Family Handbook).
What do you think? Is the district doing enough to support safe, inclusive and bias-free schools? Do you know of resources to support this work? Share in the comments below.
According to "the Academy" the only voices worth hearing are vanilla. Here's what I'm doing to celebrate more diverse narratives in movies!
