Q: Using Java, how is this charAt(); turn a string into an int? I'm a beginner at Java and I'm trying to understand and explain to myself how this for loop is working. The instructions say it's converting the numeric Unicode equivalent for each letter in each word by using loops.
Based on my understanding the for loop goes through the entire word using the .length() and then stores it as int i, which gets carried down into the parenthesis of i of the charAt. CharAt returns each character in the word and then the int converts it into an int that is stored as finalInt.
So my question is where does unicode number comes from? How does it know that it's unicode?
String word1;
int finalInt;

for (int i = 0; i < word1.length(); i++) {
    finalInt = (int) word1.charAt(i);

        }

A: Java Character is based on Unicode

Character information is based on the Unicode Standard, version 6.0.0.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html
Besides, char and int can convert each other. please refer to : Convert int to char in java

A: Check the ASCII table - http://www.asciitable.com/
Your code is transforming a char (last column) into its numerical representation (first column).

A:
Using Java, how is this charAt() turn a string into an int?

The Java String models a string as an array of char (not int) values.  So charAt is just indexing the (conceptual) array.  So you cn say that the string is integer values ... representing characters.
(Under the hood, different versions of Java actually use a variety of implementation approaches.  In some versions, the actual representation is not a char[].  But that is all hidden from site ... and you can safely ignore it.

So my question is where does unicode number comes from?

It comes from the code that created the String; i.e. the code than called new String(...).

*

*If the String is constructed from a char[], it is assumed that the characters in the array are UTF-16 codeunits in a sequence that is a valid UTF-16 representation.

*If the String is constructed from a byte[], the byte sequence is decoded from some specified or implied encoding.  If you supply an encoding (e.g. Charset) that will be used.  Otherwise the application's default encoding is used.  Either way, the decoder is responsible for producing valid Unicode.
Sometimes these things break.  For instance if your application provides a byte[] encoded in one encoding and tells the String constructor it is a different encoding, you are liable to get nonsense Unicode in the String. Often called mojibake.

How does it know that it's unicode?

String is designed to be Unicode based.
The code that needs to know is the code that is forming the strings from other things.  The String class just assumes that it content is meaningful.  (At one level ... it doesn't care.  You can populate a String with malformed UTF-16 or total nonsense.  The String will faithfully record and reproduce the nonsense.)

Having said that, there is an important mistake in your code.
The charAt method does not return a Unicode codepoint.  A String is primarily modeled as a sequence of UTF-16 codeunits, and charAt returns those.
Unicode codepoints are actually numbers in the range range 0hex to 10FFFFhex.  That doesn't fit into a char ... which is limited to 0hex to FFFFhex.
UTF-16 encodes Unicode codepoints into 16 bit codeunits.  So, the value returned by charAt represents either an entire Unicode codepoint (for codepoints in the range 0hex to FFFFhex) or the top or bottom part of a codepoint (for codepoints larger than FFFFhex).
If you want String to return (complete) Unicode codepoints, you need to use String.codePointAt.  But it is important to read the javadocs carefully to understand how the method should be used.  (It may be simpler to use the String.codePoints() method.)
At any rate, what this means is that your code is NOT assigning a Unicode codepoint to finalInt in all cases.  It works for Unicode characters in the BMP (code plane zero) but not the higher code planes.  It will break for the Unicode codepoints for Emojis, for example.

Not one to break the British stereotype, I confess I love tea.
I'm not talking a few boxes of PG Tips here and there, oh hell no (and let's not joke about PG Tips either… the topic of 'tea bag' is a serious one). No, the inside of The Tea House is a haven of all tea-related business; with an array of original and unique tea blends on sale, and also a wonderful selection of teapots and other important tea equipment (yes= tea is important, no= any person caught drinking my tea will not live).
I also came across a selection of miniature, intricately patterned Gaiwans, which are basically handlele ss tea cups/pots- so cute. Believe me, I would've been on that, except I'm very old-fashioned when it comes to my tea- drinking, and prefer my tea cups (or mugs- let's be honest, I don't have the time to sip tea daintily every day daarling), or pots to have handles.
This shop was a treasure trove to behold, and epitomises everything tea-loving. Thank you Tea House, for reminding me why I love tea so much, and for bringing tea to the people!


The export of fresh produce keeps growing in popularity, and Kenya is known for growing and exporting high quality fresh produce to the European market and other parts of the world.
Over the years, the export business has been largely dominated by large-scale commercial growers.
However, just about anybody can tap into that huge international market as long as they understand the ins and outs of the trade.
If you feel that you have what it takes to become an exporter, well, I'm gonna help you to achieve just that.
In this article, you are going to learn how to export fresh produce from Kenya and all the requirements that you will need along the way.
My only assumption is that you already have clients abroad.
If you don't, this article is not going to help you and my advice to you is to first get yourself clients from overseas.
If you are past this stage, let's begin.
Fresh cut flowers have always been in great demand in most European countries especially during special occasions such as the Valentine's Day, Mothers' Day, and Easter Holidays.
Instead of selling your flowers locally to agents or middlemen, why not export them to get maximum returns possible. Among the most important requirements, the following are must-haves.
Tip: Hire a clearing agent and documentation clerks to facilitate your documentation at the airport so that you can concentrate on running your agribusiness.
However, in my experience, compliance with the standards has always proved to be cheaper and cost-efficient as opposed to non-compliance.
Tip: It's important to check the requirements for each certification and work on it beforehand. You can also employ the services of a consultant to help out with the technicalities involved in the process.
Note: Always keep in mind that market requirements are not the same as product specifications. Specifications are arranged between you and the client. For example, if you intend to export French beans, your client may prefer only fine or extra fine or whatever. Those are product specifications.
You've just read how to export fresh produce from Kenya.
So next time you're manipulated by rogue middlemen, that gives you peanuts for your produce, you will only have you to blame.
My name is kevin working with Muddyboots software, at Muddyboots we offer farm management software solutions that ensure compliance to industry standards, We would like to work with you in providing farmers with the beast solution in the market. Kindly contact me at k.gachari@muddyboots.co.ke for more information and visit our website at http://www.muddyboots.com. Thank you.
we need to create national policies to develop a promotion strategy on the export of vegetables, flowers. this is going to take some time….but it is of extraordinary importance… the export chain from the agricultural parcel up to the international market place.
Hi Awais, what did you specifically like about it?
Chris. Great article, very informative. How could I get in touch?
Thanks a lot for this very important information. I would like you to assist me in selling my fresh courgette.
Hi Nash, unfortunately, we don't. At the moment we only offer our services in Kenya.
Can you assist me export potatoes to south Korea?
Hello am greatful for the info.
What would you tell a begginer who wants to venture into exports,starting from looking for client in the outside world.
can you recommend any relabel flower export company in Kenya ?
I have the apple mango ,how can i get to you.

EPL: Patrice Evra snubs Rooney, Ronaldo, names best player he ever played with
by welkin... January 9, 2022, 1:48 pm
Former Manchester United left-back, Patrice Evra has identified the club's legend Ryan Giggs as the best player he has played with during his career, snubbing both teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
The Frenchman said he picked Giggs ahead of Rooney and Ronaldo because sometimes the Welsman will pass the ball where nobody would see it and because of his legacy.
Evra made a total of 273 appearances during his time at Man United and won various trophies, which included five Premier League titles and a Champions League.
Speaking to news outlet 433, the 40-year-old surprised fans by insisting his best player would be Giggs.
"People always ask me the best player you played with after you signed for United [Manchester United], and they expect me to say Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo," Evra said.
"I always say Ryan Giggs because sometimes he will pass the ball where nobody would see it, and his legacy.
"I remember with Giggsy, even if you were losing a game in training, he would be going mad. Sometimes even the training was more important than the actual game."
He added, "I learned a lot with this guy, and we played on the left side together, and argued a lot on the pitch, because I loved to do those really bad throw-ins where the ball bounces in front of you, so you know you have to react.
"He [Ryan Giggs] had great technique, so he was like, Patrice played it into my feet!
"I was like a player like you, you should deal with it! And after the game, we were just like sorry bro… that game was intense."

Q: How to dynamically select text from EditText OnClickListener? I want to use the android select text functionality on OnClickListener rather than onlongclicklistener. Is there any way to do this? Can anybody help me regarding this? Thanks

A: with xml:
android:selectAllOnFocus="true"

with code (option1):
    yourEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //((EditText)v).selectAll();
            ((EditText)v).setSelection(startValue, stopValue);
        }
   });

with code (option2):
yourEditText.setOnFocusChangedListener(new OnFocusChangedListener(){
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus){
        if (hasFocus){
            //((EditText)v).selectAll();
            ((EditText)v).setSelection(startValue, stopValue);
        }
    }
});

A: This answer gives you several options if you want to select all the text.
If not then use an onclicklistener and call setSelection on your EditText.
EDIT:
theEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        EditText editText = (EditText)view;
        editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length()-1); // selects all the text
    }
});

A: A totally different approach would be to try calling performLongClick from your EditText's onClick handler. This might let you use the default long click functionality, but call it from your onClick.
theEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        EditText editText = (EditText)view;
        editText.performLongClick();
    }
});

Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun. (stylized in all caps) is the tenth studio album by the American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released on November 16, 2018 through Napalm Records. Produced by Rick Rubin, it is the band's first album to feature founding members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin since Machina II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music (2000) and  Zeitgeist (2007), respectively.

Initially planned as two four-song EPs, the release was preceded by the singles "Solara", "Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)", and "Knights of Malta", and reached number fifty-four on the US Billboard 200 chart.

Background and recording
In early February 2018, it was announced that original members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin had rejoined the band. The reunited line-up, alongside longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder, started production on new material in February 2018 with Rick Rubin producing, the first time he had worked with the band since the Adore album cycle. Recording took place at Shangri La recording studio, Malibu, California. The group originally presented eight song demos to Rubin with the intention of releasing one as a comeback single. After Rubin approved of all eight, the group planned two four-song EPs, the first of which was originally scheduled to be released in May 2018. In September 2018, it was announced that the EPs would take the form of a full-length album.
Former bassist D'arcy Wretzky claims Iha and Rubin's involvement in the album was limited, saying "He [Iha] was only involved in the one Rick Rubin song. Billy's got a lot of nerve going out there saying Rick recorded the whole album. He only had a week to record one song."

In early 2020, while recording the band's follow-up album, Cyr, Corgan retroactively dismissed Shiny and Oh So Bright'''s status as a full studio album: "When we got back together with James, we went in with Rick Rubin and did eight songs. It was put out as a formal album, but I said at the time — and I did mean it — in my eyes, it wasn't an album. We didn't approach it like we've approached every other album we'd ever done, which is more like making a movie."

Release and promotion
The album's first single, "Solara", was released on June 8, 2018. The second single "Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)" was released on September 13, 2018. The opening track "Knights of Malta" was secretly released as a private YouTube video on November 7, 2018.

Lead single "Solara" was performed live on national television on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, June 11, 2018.

 Reception

The album received generally positive reviews.Consequence of Sound gave the album a B and named it album of the week. AllMusic claimed "Corgan delivers something unexpected: music that's rich but settled, music that plays to his strengths, music where he seems happy in his own skin." NME remarked "The heavier moments refuse to act as a sledegehammer of alt-rock pastiche, which this record could so easily have been. Instead, it's a showcase of songcraft that's allowed to breathe and reveal itself. Bring on volume two. The dream lives on." Spin Magazine noted "All signs pointed to Shiny and Oh So Bright ... as an authoritative step back on track."Exclaim! was mixed on the album, stating "At only eight tracks, it's the shortest Smashing Pumpkins full-length and it feels less grandiose than most of their work simply due to that brevity, which makes it harder to measure against their other LPs--although it easily blows the last album out of the water and is more immediately catchy than Zeitgeist." DIY Magazine reported "There's not much in the way of stylistic cohesion, either, and you wonder whether that's simply because the creativity was flowing out of the almost-fully-reformed lineup or simply because Billy felt confident in following his every whim."Rolling Stone published a more negative review, giving the album 2 out of 5 stars. Christopher R. Weingarten, writing for Rolling Stone'', states that "no amount of Adore-ation can excuse the absolute maelstrom of inconsequential material that Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin have made in the 18 years since they've played on a Smashing Pumpkins record together." Weingarten concludes his review, stating "[s]ave the few fire-breathing dragon moments of Lollapalooza-era churn, it's the Smashing Pumpkins in name only, and that ice cream truck has long left the gas station."

Thankfully, using Ubuntu's WebApp and a custom launcher I can fix that problem! Using a customised .desktop file and adding in a few extra actions I can save myself time and make codepen feel like it is part of my desktop. This is one of the great things about Linux generally – everything is customizable. You just need to know how to do it!
First up, if you've not already – sign up for a free CodePen account. Choose a memorable username if you can. You'll be using it later in this tutorial.
Next you need a .desktop file and a fitting icon to go with. I have included a zip file for download at the end of this post but I will go over the contents of the .desktop file so you know what you're getting. You can of course use any icon you like for this, I've just included one to get you started.
The first block of 13 lines is pretty standard stuff for a desktop icon. These lines set the name and description of the link as well as a few extra bits and bobs. The fourteenth line is where it gets interesting.
Before you can use your .desktop file though you will need to edit it.. But not much – don't panic! The only part you need to change is the username in the My Profile action.
Essentially delete everything passed that last / and replace it with your username.
Now we need to put these files where Ubuntu can find them. The easiest one is the desktop file. You need to copy that to ~/.local/share/applications/ (the little ~ symbol at the beginning is the shortcode for your home directory. Since my username is benjy that points to /home/benjy/). You can do this with the file manager.
Go into the .local folder then navigate to share then applications. All you have to do now is paste your edited codepen.desktop file into the applications folder.
Putting the icon file into the right place is a little trickier because it needs to go into the pixmaps folder in /usr/share/pixmaps. It's trickier because this folder is not 'owned' by you the user so you need to do this with sudo in a terminal.
After you have pasted (in the terminal by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + V this press enter and you will be prompted to type your password. Press enter again and it should copy the icon to where it needs to be.
Just click the icon to launch it for the first time and login in the window that comes up.
Before you close the window be sure to right-click the launcher icon and lock it to the launcher, also click your other action files – New Pen and My Profile to make sure they work.
Now you're done – custom webapp for CodePen to make using their service that bit easier!
Of course, you don't have to use the Ubuntu WebApp browser. Since it is (currently) not fully functioning in Desktop mode (it works.. but it is designed for touch devices) you can just as easily use the chromium browser.
Now your launcher icon uses chromium instead!

The creation's influence that is plasticizing The Oyo project to individual and social processes falls into the artistic category of social sculpture according to the definition of the "expanded field of art" of the famous German artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986). For him, "everyone was an artist". He does not insinuate that everyone is a painter or sculptor, but he signifies that each one possesses creative powers that must be discerned and cultivated, the most important one being the offered possibility to Man to self-determination. Social sculpture is an interactive space in which the artist takes on the role of a catalyst for individual and social change. This work's result is a piece of art that takes place in a space accessible to everyone, integrates all human beings into the process of creation and abolishes the separation of art and life. Since the period of Constructivism, "the total immersion of art in life" (Aratov) was postulated. It is required to unite Art with life, so that Art is not limited to decoration, but that it acts on social processes by shaping and renewing them. It was at the latest, with the broadening of the notion of art by the German artist Joseph Beuys, that the social aspect of art became firmly rooted to the science of Art. According to Beuys, any human actions during which he encounters with his environment in a creative or formative form can be classified as "artistic".
The classic relationship between the artist as "producer" of his product "art" and the container as "consumer" is thus diluted. The container is part of the creative process and is conditioned by a certain degree. In the words of Joseph Beuys: "The workshop is between people" The most important instrument of a socially engaged artist is himself as a human and social being. As a principal actor in the process of socialization, he reflects on his relationship with the world and becomes the backdrop for the present social or societal structure. Through the education of his perception and the extension of his intellectual and emotional resources he is able to grasp as much of reality as possible and thus can "create an active being with the power to respond [to it]" as C.G. Jung says. The purpose of social sculpture is to enable as many people as possible to become a self-determined and a reactive being through the cohabitation of sensitive perception, intellectual and emotional reflection. The Oyo Projects product is an interactive space. By decontextualizing elements of familiar reality, we unmask situations of dependence and individual interdependence and make visible the interconnections of thought, feeling and action. As a result, the old notions of reality are broken down into parts from which other concepts of reality are still composed. Consequently, intellectual and emotional reactions to the "aesthetic revelation of the condition of things" form the basis of a future world in the one that already exists materially: by deliberately apprehending them, thoughts and feelings become "invisible works of art" (Joseph Beuys) and are immaterial predecessors of reality. The artist takes on the role of a catalyst for individual and social change and the socially engaged art interactively influences social buildings. This work's result is a piece of art, which takes place in a space accessible to everyone, which integrates all human beings in the process of creation and which abolishes the separation of Art and life.

Ethiopian, U.S. Defense Officials Meet at Pentagon
December 6, 2019 December 6, 2019 Ethiopian Monitor	#Defense partnerships, #Ethiopia, #U.S.
ADDIS ABEBA – Ethiopian Defense Minister Lemma Megersa and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for African Affairs Pete Marocco co-chaired the 9th annual U.S.-Ethiopia Bilateral Defense Committee meeting in Washington on Wednesday.
During the visit, the defense leaders shared views on regional security, peacekeeping, intelligence and military relations, with the goal of strengthening their security partnership, a U.S. defense official said in a readout following the meeting.
Both nations reaffirmed their commitment to the bilateral relationship and highlighted the significant increase in security cooperation between the two countries over the last 18 months, the official said.
The Ethiopian delegation also met at the Pentagon with James Anderson, who is performing the duties of the deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, and Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Joseph Kernan.
Anderson thanked Ethiopia for their leadership and military contributions throughout the region and commended Lemma for the ongoing security sector reforms his nation is undertaking.
U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia Michael Raynor said he was very grateful to Ethiopia's civilian and military leaders for traveling to the U.S. for the event, and "for the close partnership that exists between us; and for Ethiopia's commitment to building our collaboration even further in the days ahead."
The Bilateral Defense Committee enables the U.S. and Ethiopia to identify new opportunities for collaboration in areas such as counterterrorism and intelligence.
The collaboration enhances an already robust partnership between the two countries, the defense official said, and helps bring peace and security to East Africa.
Ethiopia plays a critical and significant leadership role in East Africa, the official said. "Its willingness and capability to develop security throughout the region furthers our mutual goals and shared security interests," the defense official added.
Ethiopia has the third-largest military in Africa and is the world's largest contributor to United Nations peacekeeping missions, the official said.
The nation plays a vital role in the African Union Mission in Somalia, the defense official said, and in peacekeeping efforts in Sudan and South Sudan.
"The Department of Defense applauds these efforts and looks to help strengthen Ethiopia's ability to further promote peace and stability in the region," the official said.
Ethiopia was a top recipient of International Military Education and Training funds over the last year. More than 300 Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) officers and noncommissioned officers took part in U.S. funded training last year.
In July, Ethiopia hosted U.S. Africa Command's Justified Accord exercise — a regional multi-actor military exercise that allowed regional leaders to discuss common practices and challenges related to AMISOM.
This exercise hosted the largest training contingent of U.S. military personnel in Ethiopia in the past 30 years, the defense official noted.

'Update' proposed to Central Library
Richard Wyatt October 31, 2019 October 31, 2019 history
The final nail in the coffin of plans to merge Bath's One Stop Shop and Central Library appears to come out of a report to be considered as part of forward budget planning by Bath & North East Somerset Council.
The idea's now to save the three million it would have cost to complete the merger and 'refresh' the existing facility instead.
It follows a review of plans for the library under the council's Modern Libraries Programme, which in 2017 had proposed the Podium as the site for a central Bath integrated Library and One Stop Shop.
Bath Central Library
Last year the £3m scheme was paused pending a review due to challenging budget pressures.
A budget report before the council's cabinet, which meets on Thursday November 7, says the council's Capital Programme will be adjusted as a result to remove the £3m allocated to the scheme.
But councillors will be recommended to consider a smaller capital investment proposal, as part of the council's capital budget for the next financial year, which would fund work to refresh the library.
Councillor Richard Samuel, cabinet member for Resources, said: "Libraries are a community asset and this proposal allows us to protect and invest in Bath Central Library which needs some updating. The One Stop Shop and its partners will remain in Manvers Street. If approved by council the work will be budgeted for in the 2020/21 capital programme."
City Centre Councillor Sue Craig, (Lib Dem, Kingsmead) commented:
"I'm delighted by this news. The new Lib Dem administration is listening to residents and putting them first. There were dozens of protests against the previous Conservative scheme, which would have seen the Library and One Stop Shop shoehorned into one building.
"The Lib Dems opposed that plan throughout the previous four years; it was too expensive and impractical. The Conservative administration never proved the case for co-locating these two services and they wasted a lot of time and money trying to force their plan through.
"Now the Library will benefit from funding to update and refresh facilities, thanks to this decision. The Library is such an important service and it needs the right support from the Council. I'm glad our new Lib Dem administration has been able to draw a line under this sorry episode."
Through the Modern Libraries Programme the council has invested in nine community libraries, a new mobile library vehicle and extended the click and collect scheme for books through the roll-out of more community libraries. In addition it has invested in a more integrated library and information services in Keynsham and in Midsomer Norton.
It has also developed the digital offer to people giving library members access to a wide range of digital facilities and resources, from free computer and internet access, to online books, audiobooks and e-magazines. There is also support and advice in libraries to help people improve their digital skills as well as many community events.
Cllr Paul Crossley
Councillor Paul Crossley, cabinet member for community services, said; "The latest community library to open was this week at Peasedown St John which is being run by more than 20 volunteers and will be open for 12 hours a week, stocked with 700 books as well as access to the click and collect service. Our excellent digital service gives residents access to e-books and e-magazines as well as free internet access.
"Our libraries are not only about providing access to a vast range of information and literature they are also an important point of social contact, especially for people living in rural communities."
As part of £275,000 investment in the Modern Libraries programme the council set aside a start-up fund of £5,000 per scheme, to help with the successful development of community libraries.

Spencer Pratt: I F–kin' Hate Everyone on The Hills!
Spencer Pratt isn't just spilling the tea when it comes to the revival of the show that made him famous.
He's taking his cup, extending his penny and frickin dumping said tea all over each and every one of his MTV co-stars.
Oh, and he's also trashing MTV itself as well.
The 35-year-old reality star appeared on the LadyGang podcast on Tuesday – hosted by Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin and Jac Vanek — and laid into basically everyone associated with The Hills: New Beginnings.
In the revealing interview, Pratt alleges that the network isn't depicting the real drama of the cast — which includes his wife, Heidi, his sister, Stephanie, as well as Brody Jenner, Audrina Patridge, Justin Bobby, Whitney Port, Mischa Barton and Brandon Lee — because they want to make the cast likable.
"I'll be honest and I'm going to get in trouble for this but … they're toning it down because they want people to be likable, which I don't want to watch anything likable," Spencer said with a laugh, adding:
"I personally think the network is protecting a lot of the cast."
With this new Hills version struggling to earn ratings or any consistent attention, Pratt has been trying as hard as possible to stir up some controversy.
It's what he does best, after all.
It's sort of all he does.
"No spoiler alerts, but I hate all these people, like, I dislike them," Spencer continued. "I love Brandon [Lee] … but Brandon's not allowed to talk to me anymore, per Brody."
The latest installment of this remake featured Pratt having it out with Jenner, with each reality star accusing the other of NOT being the one to keep in touch over the years.
Pratt says there's far more to this seemingly lame story, though.
"Well I'm LC, I took over for LC," Spencer now says, referring to former costar Lauren Conrad of course and adding:
"I'm like, 'You're not my friend anymore because of your new relationship, wah wah wah.' There's a lot more to the story and the angle that is logical for the television show…
"We haven't been speaking since 2007.
"All the things that I really am saying, why we have a real problem, break the fourth wall."
As for where this new Hills is headed?
Spencer teases that viewers will soon learn a lot more about Brody and Kaitlynn's relationship, while adding that he still has disdain for the Kaitlynn.
"Just tune in, because everything will be revealed," he says, trying just so darn hard to make the show relevant again.
"Spoilers — we're going to find out more about the relationship. I think it makes everyone more likable because you will understand … why Brody acts that way, why Kaitlynn … everyone knows, there's a big …"
And he cut himself off there.
This guy is good!
In the end, however, the important thing Pratt wants you to remember is that he's awesome and everyone else on the program sucks.
"Unless there's a camera here, don't call me," he concluded about where he stands with the cast. "If we're not filming, you don't exist to me, go away."

Mercure est le sixième roman d'Amélie Nothomb, paru en 1998 chez Albin Michel.

Résumé
Sur une île, un vieux monsieur et une jeune fille vivent à l'abri de tout reflet. Une infirmière survient pour soigner la jeune fille. Tandis que des relations de plus en plus confiantes se nouent entre elles, l'infirmière découvre les éléments d'un mystère et d'un drame qui tiennent à l'étrange loi que le vieil homme fait régner sur l'île.

Commentaires
 Comme Cosmétique de l'ennemi, Mercure est un roman dont le rythme repose en particulier sur le secret final. Les dialogues tiennent une place très importante, comme dans d'autres romans d'Amélie Nothomb, notamment Hygiène de l'assassin. L'intrigue est simple comme dans un roman policier et permet de développer des idées chères à Amélie Nothomb, comme la peur de la différence, l'apparence physique et le secret dans les rapports humains.

 Ce roman présente la particularité d'avoir deux dénouements proposés.

 Dans Mercure, le mercure a à la fois un rôle symbolique (mythologique) et physique (prendre la température et faire reflet comme dans un miroir).
 Le roman consiste en la réécriture de trois contes de fées : .

In a city about 51 km long and between 8 and 14.5 km wide it contains more than 120 small islands. A total of 400 different bridges connect the island with 177 canals crisscrossing the city's main traffic areas. The gondola is a favorite tourist mode of transportation. Famous monuments includes St. Mark's Cathedral, Regent Palace, the "Giant Ladder" and the "Bridge of Sighs."
Built in 1174–1350, the design for the eighth floor is 56 m high. When the third layer was completed, it was found to have uneven foundation settlement because of poor geological conditions. The designers increase the settlement to remedy the situation but the result was even more severe subsidence. The project was stalled several times, but finally finished in an inclined state. The completion of the project deviated from a vertical tower by 2.1 m. After 650 years, the Leaning Tower of Pisa continues to tilt towards the ground despite various measures such as the pouring of concrete and tilt speed control.


Universities often expect junior faculty to publish nine or more articles in four years. Usually authors hope that the journal will accept their article with revisions or that the journal will request that they revise and resubmit. These tips can help you write an article that may need fewer revisions than you are used to doing.
Start your work on the article with a well thought out, clearly articulated statement of purpose. This statement is for you and ultimately for your readers. Ideally, you will write your statement of purpose before you even begin data collection. It will help you keep your focus as you work.
Carefully research possible journals. A good place to start is with journals you cite a lot in your references. Read the journal's Mission and Aims & Scope statements. Sometimes looking at who is on the editorial board is useful, as well. Most articles are rejected because they aren't a good fit with the journal.
Select your top three journal choices, then put them in order of priority. Consider the journal's turnaround time and the journal's prestige rating. Submit to your top choice, keeping the other two as Plans B and C.
Once you have chosen a journal, read the Guidelines for Authors carefully. Note page limits, what kinds of information the editor wants to see in the abstract, what style to use for citing references. Another reason why articles are often rejected is that the authors did not follow the journal's guidelines.
For your top journal choice, analyze the abstracts and introductions from three recent articles with some similarity to yours. How many paragraphs in the intro? Where is the statement of purpose? Does the introduction start out with the broad picture or get specific right away? The Abstract and Introduction are places for you to grab your referees' attention, so make sure they are easy to understand and follow the journal's conventions.
Set up a schedule for working on your article and keep to it. It's best to write every day so that you can keep your ideas and what you want to say next fresh in your mind.
End strong. Some readers will look at the abstract, introduction, and discussion to decide whether to read the entire paper. Your discussion is the place to highlight the value of your work.
Invest in a grammar book. My favorite is Woe is I by Patricia O'Conner, but there are many good grammar books available. Make sure you know when to use the following words: its v. it's, affect v. effect, who's v. whose, compose v. comprise. Data is plural.
Find readers to give you feedback. Get someone not in your specific field to read a good early draft so you can get feedback on how well you have communicated to a general audience. Get a colleague in your field to read your article before you submit it so that you can get feedback on what you may have overlooked in terms of recent literature, data analysis, etc. Finding readers and being a reader are good ways to build colleagues outside your department.
Proofread, proofread, proofread, then send it out. Manuscripts with missing references, typos, and poor grammar and spelling don't look professional. If you are not a detail person, give your manuscript to a detail person to proof before you send it out.
If you start your research with your preferred journal for submission in mind, you may save even more time. Regardless of where you are in your writing, see if you have missed any of the steps above, and tweak your process. Best wishes on more acceptances.

Parking is at a premium so a 2 car limit is strictly enforced.
The condo was great, very short walk to the beach and convenient to shopping and restaurants. Had a few parking problems and when addressed with the rental agency they were extremely rude and condescending and for this reason we will not rent this condo or from this rental agency again. For the money spent on this condo in peak season we should have never been treated this way. I spoke to the manager after we returned home and she was very apologetic and that's about it, just apologetic. We have vacationed for at least 20 years on the Gulf Coast with other rental agencies and have never had an issue. Lesson learned is always read reviews before spending your hard earned money!

President Iohannis after consultations with parliamentary parties : PM must come from political formation or coalition that convinces me it holds the majority
by Nine O' Clock December 15, 2016 0147
President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday evening, at the end of the first round of consultations with the political parties in order to form the new Government, that the future Prime Minister has to come from a political formation or a coalition which will hold the majority in Parliament.
"The Prime Minister must come from a political formation or from a coalition which convinces me that it will hold the majority in Parliament," President Iohannis said at the Cotroceni Palace.
He explained that the respective political formation must persuade him that it holds the majority with a simple arithmetic calculation of the seats, and that arithmetically it is possible for right-wing parties to form an alliance, but cautioned that this must be also politically feasible.
Asked if Dacian Ciolos is still an option for the position of Premier the head of the state replied: "I cannot give you a public answer on this subject before holding consultations with all political parties."
"Obviously, once we have a Parliament, we will have a round of consultations and I'll expect everyone to come then and have their say on the PM, then I'll be in the position to assess the proposals and think of a nomination," Iohannis said, adding that none of the parties that participated in Wednesday's consultations advanced a name for Prime Minister.
"None of the parties today claimed to give the Premier, nor did they come up with proposals," said the President.
Asked if Traian Basescu could be a solution for Premier Iohannis replied: "If he finds a coalition to support him."
The President underscored that he expects the Social Democrats to attend the next round of consultations, and that he takes matters very seriously.
Iohannis added that the Constitution gives him the possibility to appoint another Prime Minister than the one proposed by the parliamentary parties, but that he prefers to stay in the realm of negotiations.
"The Constitution gives me this right, but I'll stay in the realm of negotiations and I'll appoint a person that is vetted and negotiated upon with a coalition that will hold the majority in Parliament," said Iohannis.
The President was also asked whether it is enough for two parties that exceed 50 percent to back the same person for PM.
"In reality things are simpler than that. The parties organize in coalitions, they each count their seats and those that have more make a proposal, while the others don't," Klaus Iohannis explained.
" PSD and ALDE didn't have the will to come to consultations"
Klaus Iohannis conveyed on Wednesday to the Social Democratic Party that the "non-cooperative attitude" the party has toward "the head of state" is "unhealthy."
"The Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) made a discordant note in this round of consultations by not being willing to come to these consultations. I say to the PSD that this non-cooperative attitude with the President of Romania is unhealthy," Iohannis stated.
"Moving back deadlines could have been done by law, had someone started earlier"
President Iohannis stated on Wednesday that moving back the deadlines regarding the removal of the VAT and some fees, as per the request leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Liviu Dragnea had made to Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos could have been done by law "had someone commenced earlier to do it."
"It's about moving back the deadlines and this can be done through different mechanisms, for instance through ordinances. If the deadlines are moved back at this late stage of the year, it isn't that much the [current] Government's decision. (…) It could have been done very easily by law, had someone begun earlier," Iohannis said at the Cotroceni Palace.
When asked about the phone discussion between PSD Chairman Liviu Dragnea and Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos, in which the Social-Democrat leader requested the PM to postpone the VAT cut and the removal of some fees which were supposed to be enforced starting 1 January 2017, the head of stated answered as follows: "I don't want to comment upon what the Prime Minister and the Chairman of a party discussed. Only the ones involved in the discussion are to comment, if they wish to do so."
"I will sign into law bill raising Education and Health wages"
The Head of State also announced on Wednesday evening that he will sign into law the bill raising wages in health care and education.
"I will sign it into law," the President said at the Cotroceni Palace when asked about the fate of the bill, after the Constitutional Court ruled that it is constitutional.

The Sultan's Italian Architect Raimondo D'Aronco
The sultan's Italian architect, Raimondo D'Aronco (1857-1932), was invited to Istanbul in 1893 to organize a national exhibition that would celebrate the 20th anniversary of Abdülhamid II's accession to the throne three years later.

The sultan's Italian architect, Raimondo D'Aronco (1857-1932), was invited to Istanbul in 1893 to organize a national exhibition that would celebrate the 20th anniversary of Abdülhamid II's accession to the throne three years later. This project could not be realized because of a terrible earthquake in the following year. Nevertheless, D'Aronco stayed on to restore a considerable number of buildings in Istanbul, binding his name inextricably with the city.
D'Aronco was given the task of restoring all kinds of structures, including mosques, fountains, government buildings, the Grand Bazaar and parts of Ayasofya. D'Aronco went on to design and construct many new buildings in Istanbul, from commercial premises to private houses and government offices. He worked with various Ottoman ministries and became chief palace architect to Abdülhamid II, helping to realize the Sultan's concept of a modern Ottoman identity for the city. D'Aronco was the first foreigner to occupy the post of palace architect. In this role he initially worked with Sarkis Balyan, a member of the family of Armenian builders who had built Dolmabahçe Palace and most of the mosques of the 19th century.
D'Aronco made important contributions to Balyan's new architecture at Yıldız. In accordance with the Sultan's taste and desire for privacy and solitude, the new residence was not a monumental palace like the Dolmabahçe Palace and Çırağan. Instead it revived the older pattern of Topkapı, with pavilions surrounding courtyards and open spaces, all enclosed by high walls. During this work, D'Aronco brought European rococo exuberance and he began his pioneering experiments in Art Nouveau, for example with his design of the fountain at Tophane, now relocated in Maçka. D'Aronco can be accredited with bringing Art Nouveau to Istanbul, where it survives up to date as part of the city's heritage.
Küçük Çamlıca, Rıza Pasha Pavillon
His work was not confined to imperial projects. He also took on residential projects. . This is demonstrated by the drawings for the orphanage in Maci Badem and for a new college complex of the Imperial School of Arts and Trades. However, unfortunately all these designs remained solely on paper. . Among the public buildings that were made, the greatest achievement was the Imperial School of Medicine on Haydarpasa hill, on the Asian side, in 1895-1900.
If his designs and projects addressed to Italy show hesitation, second thoughts and lack of confidence, the opposite can be claimed for the projects erected in Istanbul. D'Aronco's projects and achievements in this city appear extremely admirable and remarkable. Since 1900, he became the favourite architect of the private clients belonging to the high ranks of the society.
The first great Art Nouveau building of Istanbul was the Botter House, the residence in Beyoğlu that D'Aronco created for the Sultan's Dutch couturier, Jean Botter. Botter House has been designed from December 1900 to April 1901 and it has been constructed in the main street of Pera, the current İstiklâl Caddesi.
Kireçburnu, Cemil Bey Mansion
Another remarkable residential urban example of his blending of Levantine and modern forms is the Santoro House. Also this house has been designed for Pera and D'Aronco reached to provide in the reconstruction of the house project one of its most indisputable results. Sadly, the Santoro House was never built and we can only admire this project from the drawings.
Among the best evidence of modernist architectures, there are the Merzifonlu Mosque, the small complex of fountain, tomb and the library built for the religious leader Seyh Zafir. Here, D'Aronco successfully combined the most abstract, rectilinear forms of the Jugendstil (German and Austrian Art Nouveau) with the late-Ottoman taste for small but exuberant landmarks.
Karaköy Mosque (Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha Mosque)
The Merzifonlu mosque, which stood on the square in Karaköy, from which branches off the Galata Bridge (Karakoy-Eminönü bridge), were set on the second floor of a pre-existing commercial building. Using his admirable skills, D'Aronco created a wide base protruding, almost an artificial soil, which made raising the small octagonal mosque with a minaret. The building was made of wooden structure, according to local traditional methods, showing an external face in thin marble slabs secured with bolts and finished with joint covers in gilded bronze, like the Santoro House. This small mosque was built in the most famous and most crucial centre of Istanbul cityscape. The project was awarded at the Milan Exhibition of 1906, but in April 1959 it was dismantled and never rebuilt again.
D'Aronco's appreciation of the city's built heritage was wide-ranging. In addition to the classical buildings of the Byzantine and Ottoman eras, he studied Ottoman baroque architecture, becoming one of the first Western observers to take an impartial view of the style's inventive reworking of spaces and forms. He surveyed the Nuruosmaniye Mosque, anticipating the admiring gaze of Le Corbusier, and appreciated the 18th-century cistern fountains and drinking fountains, some of which he restored after the earthquake.
His Design for a Mauselum in İstanbul
He returned to Italy after the deposition of Abdülhamid in 1909 and he died in San Remo in 1932. Despite his obvious talent, D'Aronco was a defiantly independent man who avoided the fame and public acknowledgment. He was reluctant to mingle with high society in Istanbul and he never agreed to a press interview.
As chief palace architect, he often employed Italian masons, carpenters, decorators and manual laborers. An Italian ambassador to the Porte proposed that he was awarded of the title of "Cavaliere" for his contributions to the welfare of the local Italian community. In typical fashion, D'Aronco declined the honour.

In this digital age of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and accelerating technological convergence across disciplines, the value of a traditional applied science education for engineers is rapidly declining. Instead, we must rethink the purpose of education and embrace autonomous and experiential learning, the process of discovery—and especially an entrepreneurial mindset. Further, as the shelf-life of technical knowledge grows ever shorter, the need for proficiency at building shared expertise—with minimal formal instruction—within a diverse and multidisciplinary team, focused on a complex societal problem taken in context, is overshadowing the demand for technical specialization. Olin College of Engineering was established for the purpose of creating a new paradigm for engineering education. The average Olin student today completes 20-30 design-build team projects, delivers many oral presentations, starts an entrepreneurial venture, and works for two semesters on a capstone design project sponsored by a corporation that is paying US$55,000 for their small team's work. Half of Olin's students are women. Olin College is designed to serve as an educational laboratory, and has hosted more than 800 universities from more than 50 nations since 2010. This presentation will provide more explanation of the origin and operation of Olin College, and several key lessons learned from the last 17 years of experimentation.
Prof. Richard K. Miller earned his MS in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972 and PhD in Applied Mechanics from the California Institute of Technology in 1976. He has been the founding President and Professor of Mechanical Engineering of Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering since 1999. Previously, he served on the engineering faculty at the University of Iowa (where he served as Dean of Engineering), at the University of Southern California (where he served as Associate Dean of Engineering), and University of California, Santa Barbara.
With a background in applied mechanics and current interests in innovation in higher education, Prof. Miller is the author of more than 100 reviewed journal articles and is a frequent speaker on educational innovation. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2017), the US National Academy of Inventors (2014) and the US National Academy of Engineering (2012). He received the 2017 Brock International Prize in Education for his many contributions to the reinvention of engineering education in the 21st century. Together with two Olin colleagues, he received the 2013 Bernard M. Gordon Prize from the US National Academy of Engineering for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education. Prof. Miller served as Chair of the National Academies Board on Higher Education and Workforce and Chair of the Engineering Advisory Committee of the US National Science Foundation. He has also served on advisory boards and committees for Harvard University, Stanford University, the US National Academy of Engineering, the US National Academy of Sciences and the US Military Academy at West Point in addition to others. Furthermore, he has served as a consultant to the World Bank in the establishment of new universities in developing countries.
Light refreshments will be served from 3:45 to 4:15 pm.


#OTD 31 May 1968 The Turner Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church (6th & I Sts NW) held its 5th annual presentation of debutantes at the Marriott Motor Hotel. There were 46 inductees..
The Debutante program was founded in 1964 by Ms. Dewanna Horton, with the support of Ms. Alice Y. Butler and Ms. Odessa A. Price as co-chairs, committee members, consultants and more. Ms. Horton approached Rev. Everette S. Guiles with her "dream" of an "annual debutante cotillion" with "young ladies from our church as well as our community in long flowing gowns, being introduced to society--the hope of our future--feeling young, vibrant and beautiful, proud to be the center of attention on their night of nights." Rev. Guiles gave his support and she moved quickly toward her vision.
Additionally, the Steve Taylor International Dance Studio created the choreography.
Your comments are welcome below. Were you, a family member or neighbor a debutante in 1968 or other years? Did you help to organize the debutante program? Did you know Ms. Horton? Was the event held at the Twin Bridges or Key Bridge Motor Hotel? You may comment privately here.

Count  was a Japanese bureaucrat, statesman and cabinet minister, active in Meiji- and Taishō-period Japan.

Biography
Yoshikawa was born in Yamakawa, Awa Province (currently Yoshinogawa, Tokushima) as the son of a local samurai. After the Meiji Restoration, he went to Tokyo and entered into service of the new Meiji government, rising to become head of the National Printing Bureau under the Ministry of Finance in 1872.

He was a close protégé of Yamagata Aritomo and at Yamagata's urging, served as Governor of Tokyo from July 1882 to June 1885. As Governor, Yoshikawa submitted a plan for the complete redevelopment of Tokyo based on the redevelopment of Paris under Napoleon III. Yoshikawa's plan called for a system of wide boulevards and canals radiating out from the Tokyo Imperial Palace. He also called for an expansion of the train system to a terminus in an expanded Tokyo Station. Although some elements of the "Yoshikawa Plan" were eventually implemented, most remained on paper due to completing plans raised by other politicians, notably Inoue Kaoru.

Yoshikawa then worked as Deputy Director of the Home Ministry from March 1886 to May 1890. When Yamagata became Prime Minister, Yoshikawa was appointed to his cabinet as Minister of Education, a post which he held from May 1890 to June 1891. Emperor Meiji expressed reservations over the appointment, but was convinced by Yamagata that the choice of the conservative Yoshikawa was suitable. During this period, he played an important role in writing the Imperial Rescript on Education, which articulated government policy on the guiding principles of education in the Empire of Japan, and which had to be memorized by all students.

In 1893, under the 2nd Itō Hirobumi administration, Yoshikawa was appointed Minister of Justice. He continued in the same position through the 2nd Matsukata Masayoshi administration. In February 1896, while still holding the position of Minister of Justice, he was concurrently appointed Home Minister. He also served as a chamberlain in the Imperial Household.

In 1898, under the 1st Ōkuma Shigenobu administration, he was reappointed as Home Minister, and under the 2nd Yamagata administration in November 1898, was made Minister of Communications. That same year, he was elevated to the kazoku peerage with the title of shishaku (viscount).

In 1901, under the 1st Katsura Tarō administration, he was reappointed as Minister of Communications. After his term ended in July 1903, he announced that he would be leaving public service; however, he accepted the post of Home Minister again in February 1904, serving until September 1905. In 1907, he became the 1st chairman of the Japan Society for Prevention of Sexually-transmitted Disease. He was subsequently elevated to hakushaku (count).

In 1912, Yoshikawa became deputy secretary of the Privy Council. However, in 1917, he was forced to resign his positions and retire from public life over a major scandal caused by his 4th daughter Kamako.

Yoshikawa had four daughters but no sons, he adopted a younger son of Sone Arasuke, who married his Yoshikawa's 4th daughter Kamako. The son, Hiroharu, became a prominent businessman. However, Kamako had an affair with her chauffeur, with whom she attempted a double suicide by throwing themselves in front of a train. The chauffeur died instantly, but Kamako survived with serious injuries. The revelation of her adultery across class lines brought vehement condemnation from the press and Yoshikawa's peers, and forced his retirement from public life.

Yoshikawa's birthplace in Yoshinogawa, Tokushima is preserved as a house museum. His grave is located at Aoyama Cemetery in Tokyo.

Now, in a track that has been leaked on the Internet, the mother-of-two gives an insight into her devastating split from Sam, according to British newspaper The Sun.
"It's not always easy, being a family man. Baby, don't leave me, I'm just doing what I can to get by," she sings in Family Man. Lily, who has clearly saved her heartbreak for the recording studio, croons in the heartbreaking ballad: "I know that you love me, though I'm young and stupid. I am wild and ruthless, you're better off without me.
"I am more than selfish, I am tired, I'm helpless. If I had the time of day, I might give all my days to you."
Lily began dating grime MC Meridian Dan after splitting with Sam, but hints at a reconciliation with her estranged husband in the new tune. "I know we're gonna pull through, but darling I need my time away from you," she sings.
She recently revealed her new album would be more personal, and would concentrate on the issues in her private life.
"Weirdly, this album is quite insular," she told the News Roast podcast in March (17). "Mainly it's to do with me and my relationship with my children, the breakdown of my marriage, substance abuse etc."
Mark Ronson, who has been working with Lily on her as-yet-untitled new album, told The Sun how Lily was drawing on her troubled personal life to write some of her best work to date.
"I feel like they're some of the best songs she's written. She writes so honestly, you can feel it," he said last year (16).
