So Jennifer, how are you finding your new role?
It has undoubtedly been a busy period over the last six months. I've headed up Standard Life Investments in Ireland since 2004, but my role was extended last summer to head up the distribution arm of Standard Life. I am now responsible for leading and growing our distribution activities, working primarily with financial advisers, investment consultants and institutional pension fund clients across Ireland. It's an exciting and demanding role and one I am really enjoying. I've over 20 years investment industry experience and have an active interest in the Irish and European pensions industry, having served as a member and chair of the IAPF investment committee from 2003 to 2013.
Tell me more about yourself and how you ended up in Ireland?
I talk a lot about being a proud Welsh lady but I am actually half Irish, my mum is from Dublin. When I graduated from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, I applied for a job as a trainee actuary in Mercer in Dublin and was delighted to be offered the role. That was in October 1994 and I have lived and worked in Dublin ever since. I started working in the performance measurement team (CPMS) within Mercer which quickly became the first Investment Consultancy team in Ireland. My actuarial career was not particularly long lived but my interest in investments started at that point and while I was in Mercer I completed a Masters in Investment and Treasury from Dublin City University. Before joining Standard Life Investments in 2004, I gained valuable investment and relationship management experience both in Mercer and latterly in AIB Investment Managers.
When I'm not at the office, I'm kept busy in my personal life as a mother to three active boys. Being Welsh I've a huge interest in the red rugby shirt, so I was really excited when Standard Life Investments was announced as the principal partner of the British & Irish Lions and the jersey sponsor of the 2017 tour to New Zealand. The Lions brand epitomises the values and ambition of Standard Life as a world class team – a commitment to excellence, a depth of expertise and a talented team. We believe teams that work together, succeed and win together. We know what we need to do and importantly, when.
How has Standard Life experienced such growth in Ireland over the last 10 years?
2006 was a big turning point for the business, the year we demutualised and floated on the London Stock Exchange. Today we're a global investment company with a very clear focus on being a world class business. In Ireland, the life company has focused on the individual investment market and has become a leader in investment innovation and technical expertise for the financial adviser community. We've been first to market in key growth areas of absolute return funds and risk targeted funds with GARS and My Folio – understanding client needs and having matching investment solutions. We're recognised as leading the market with our technical expertise to advisers.
Superior long term performance has been a key success factor for our business growth, not just in Ireland but globally. 2016 was a difficult year for our short-term investment performance, but this is all part of the investment cycle, and we're confident that will continue to deliver long term superior returns to customers in the future.
Tell me more about Standard Life's commitment to the financial adviser market?
Our primary distribution channel is through the adviser market and we rate the importance of independent financial advice for customers highly. This was demonstrated in the 'Value of Advice' report we commissioned last year to highlight the real value that Financial Brokers bring to their clients and how they help them look after themselves and their families. At Standard Life we believe peace of mind is the difference between taking and not taking advice and its importance is something that cannot be underestimated. Customers who have a financial broker have nearly 3 times the savings and investments compared to those who don't, are more than twice as likely to have a pension and feel more confident about their financial future.
I'm a big believer in the importance of self-development and further education. I'm delighted that over the past five years hundreds of financial advisers in Ireland have completed the CFP programme, some up to Masters level. Standard Life has been extremely supportive of this initiative having established the CFP scholarship in 2013.
What are you doing to help advisers face their current challenges?
Supporting our advisers has always been core to Standard Life. We take great pride in our strong in-house investment and technical support and we place a big emphasis on helping advisers to develop their business with our extremely successful Future Ready programme in recent years.
We built on this by creating Adviser Edge, a unique programme of business development support offering everything from investment and technical solutions to business services. Providing a top class experience is a proven way to create client loyalty. Adviser Edge delivers the tools to enable our advisers to do this through our comprehensive suite of seminars, information sessions and our in-house experts. We want to help our advisers create a competitive advantage.
One of our great successes has been in the area of investment innovation bringing new solutions to meet the ever changing needs of customers. We can only deliver on this through the scale of Standard Life Investments with our global presence and 1,700 talented professionals. We have been one of the fastest growing Investment management groups in the world in the past ten years. It's often said that imitation is the greatest form of flattery and we've certainly experienced this in the absolute return fund and risk rated funds space.
What do you see as the biggest opportunities for advisers?
The financial adviser is in the unique position of being the independent trusted adviser in the community. In the complex world of pensions, investment and long term financial planning, face to face advice will always be more valued by clients. This presents a huge opportunity for quality advisers as the prospects for this market are very healthy and the need for independent financial advice for customers has never been greater. In the zero interest rate world that we live in, there is a unique opportunity to educate a new segment of customers who traditionally would have retained all of their non-pension savings on deposit. Standard Life will play a role in supporting advisers to grow this market by demonstrating the importance of taking on some degree of risk for long term savings and investing.
What is the greatest challenge for the pensions' industry?
Recent statistics from the CSO show that private pension coverage has fallen to its lowest level. This means approximately 1,000,000 people in the work force have no pension outside of the State Pension, and we are all well aware that the State Pension will not be in its current format indefinitely. People need to take more personal responsibility for their long term financial well-being. Together with advisers we need to bring it home to people that once they stop earning they have to rely on their personal retirement provisions to maintain their lifestyle. We also feel passionately about the low numbers of women investing in pensions. We need to make it real for them on what they need to do and how much they need to start contributing.
What's your view on the changing face of retirement?
importantly on the emotional side of things. Retiring is a huge transition for each of us and individuals need a plan and time to consider what retirement will look like for them. The financial adviser has an important role to play in both the financial and non-financial aspect, given the unique personal relationship they have with their client base. Our New You initiative can support advisers and clients in this challenging but exciting time.
What do you see as the key trends in financial services?
I believe there are four key trends shaping the market globally.
• Firstly, the democratisation of risk; by that I mean customers having to take on more responsibility and control of their financial future.
• Secondly, we need to focus on rebuilding trust in the financial services world. Trust is earned by meeting clients' expectations but also how we act as a company. The core of Standard Life is built on world-class people who are proud to work for the company on a professional level but also at a corporate social responsibility level. We've donated over €250,000 since 2011, and our staff have volunteered more than 1000 hours of their time. As a leading global investment house, we take our responsibility as an investor seriously. We consider company policies and practices on environmental and social matters as an integral part of the investment process.
• Thirdly, we must embrace technology, not just helping our clients to go online for what they need; (we're investing heavily in this area particularly for our adviser market in more recent times), but also to help advisers with their conversations with our mutual clients.
• Finally, we must be realistic about this new world of slow growth, low interest rates and compressed returns. We need to continue to develop investment solutions that meet client outcomes and to continue to educate our customers and manage their expectations around single digit returns for the foreseeable future.
What lies ahead for Standard Life in the Irish market?
Believe it or not in 8 years' time, Standard Life will be two centuries old – there are very few other financial services companies who can talk about caring for people's finances for 200 years. This fantastic heritage, combined with our investment innovation and forward looking focus brings a unique combination to our customers and advisers. The success of our business is ultimately built around doing the right thing at the right time for customers– this will hold Standard Life in good stead for another two centuries at least!
I'm really looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for 2017. In particular on the sporting front, I'm boldly predicting a Lions victory in New Zealand following on from my Welsh team winning the Grand Slam!

Having greasy and shiny skin (not in a good way!), is literally the worst. Your skin becomes prone to acne, blemishes, ugly spots and what not!
To get rid of these skin problems become nearly impossible. Why? Because of the excessive oil on your skin!
But fret not; here we have assembled some of the best face masks that will help you fix oily skin in no time.
This is the easiest face mask you will ever come across for oily skin. You will simply have to mash bananas and use it alone as a mask.
An even better thing would be to add a little bit of honey and give your skin a major boost. You can also freeze the bananas first and then apply them to your face. This will give you a soothing and relaxing effect.
If you have oily and acne-prone skin, this is the DIY face mask you should go for. The proteins present in the eggs help repair the damaged tissues that are caused by acne. The face mask is also quite moisturizing in nature.
Mix the egg whites along with 1 tablespoon of honey and lemon juice. Apply the mask to your skin for 15 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water. Do this twice a week and your skin will be clear, smooth, and soft.
Homemade Multani mitti face mask is amazing for soaking up the dirt and excessive oil. Thus, women with oily skin must apply this clay mask twice or thrice a week.
To make this face mask, you will need to soak two tablespoons of fuller's earth powder in water for half an hour. Add in a tablespoon of rose water and a few drops of lemon juice. The face mask will effectively treat the dead skin cells and excess oil.
Try these simple homemade face masks and see how your skin becomes total oil-free!

'Alpha House' Creator Garry Trudeau: Political Gridlock Is Good for Comedy
The Doonesbury creator talks with EmmyWrap about Robert Altman, Amazon's scary pilot process and finding the humor in Washington
Steve Pond | June 18, 2014 @ 6:14 PM	Last Updated: July 16, 2014 @ 4:36 PM
This story originally appeared in EmmyWrap: Comedy/Drama/Actors.
As the first comic-strip artist to win the Pulitzer Prize for cartooning, Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau has more than four decades experience mixing character humor with political satire — something he has taken to television with "Alpha House," an Amazon series about four Republican congressmen sharing a house in Washington, D.C. With a cast that includes John Goodman, Amy Sedaris, Haley Joel Osment and Cynthia Nixon, among others, the show had an 11-episode first season and is now prepping a second season to air during the heat of the fall elections. It is Trudeau's first major foray into a televised comedy series since the Robert Altman-directed series Tanner '88, which put a fictional presidential candidate on the real campaign trail.
Running the show must be a big change from the "Tanner '88" experience.
It is. With "Tanner," I very much stayed in my lane as a writer. Altman made me an executive producer, but it was a meaningless honorific. It was really his undertaking, and with his guerilla style he was probably he was the only director who could have pulled off that particular project. This show is much more the standard model, more of a collaboration with the studio. And of course I'm producing for real this time, so I have far more responsibility.
Also read: 'Alpha House' Stars Mark Consuelos and Clark Johnson: We're Slamming All Politicians
Is there anything you learned from Altman that you're using now?
Well, he had a very different relationship with writers than I have with myself. The first thing he said to me when we met was, "I have a reputation for eating writers for breakfast." And what he meant by that was that scripts were just guidelines for him. That didn't change how I wrote them, and some days I would hear what I had written word-perfectly. It's just that he chose actors who, if necessary, could step off book if he found something interesting going on while crafting a scene. I had one experience where I listened all day in vain for something I'd written. And at the end of the day he could see I was a little despondent, and he said, "You know why you write this stuff?" And I said, "No, it's not clear to me today." And he said, "You write it so the actors know who they are."
I take it you work differently.
I think Goodman in particular thinks I'm somewhat of a control freak, and that I zealously guard my periods and commas. But I know what I'm trying to get out of a scene. It's not that I don't like that kind of acting, it's just that there isn't time for us to improvise.
Also read: Lizzy Caplan's 'Sex' Education: 'I Thought There Would Be Backlash About the Nudity'
Why sign on as a real producer for this?
I didn't think I would be a producer at first. Lorne Michaels was originally going to produce the show, in 2008. But we got out of the blocks really late because of a writers' strike — and by the time we shopped it in the spring of 2008 with the idea that it would be "Tanner"-like and it would track the real campaign, it was too late. Everybody's schedules had filled up, and nobody really wanted to talk to us. And then in 2012, my friend Jon Alter, who is a senior editor at Newsweek, took it out and found interest at Amazon — which I greeted with great skepticism, because I didn't even know that Amazon had a studio. But they created an open-source portal for projects, and looked at thousands of scripts. Not surprisingly, they ended up funding ones that were actually produced by professionals. We were one of the original batch of pilots that they greenlit.
And then they put the pilots on the website, and asked viewers to pick their favorites.
I was terrified of that process. Who wants to be troll bait? But it wasn't that bad. And they probably ended up with far more data than your typical network studio executive would have about the audience reaction. Gridlock must be good for political shows.
Also read: Men of 'Scandal' Talk Bonding, Social Media and Those Crazy Intense Monologues
Your show, "Veep," "House of Cards," "Scandal"…
Yeah, I've been trying to decide whether that's to our benefit or to our disadvantage. But it's good for comedy, of course. That gridlock, and the process being held hostage by the far right, gave us a very strong dramatic premise. Our main characters are mainstream Republicans who are adrift, trying to figure out how to respond to a challenge from the [Tea Party] right that traditionally they wouldn't have. So in a way, we caught a wave that was just perfect for us dramatically. And we hope that we've made some of the more likable Republicans now on television. [Laughs] That's our intention, anyway.

Movie Review: "Faster" (2010)
Movie: "Faster"
Director: George Tillman Jr.
Upon being released from prison, an ex-con (Dwayne Johnson) sets out on a quest for revenge against the men who murdered his brother and left him for dead.
"Faster" is a simple tale of revenge, directed by George Tillman Jr. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson plays an ex-con only ever referred to as Driver. Driver has just finished a 10-year stretch for bank robbery in the county clink. Before going to prison, he and his brother were assaulted by a group of men trying to steal the money they stole. The men who kidnapped them murdered Driver's brother right in front of him and left Driver for dead, too. Now fresh out of jail, his sole purpose is to kill the men who wronged him.
Doesn't this sound like a thousand other movies you've already seen? Sure, but most of them don't have The Rock as their lead. In true hardcore fashion, Johnson takes the phrase "Boom! Headshot!" to new heights in "Faster." While he is on his quest for revenge, one of Driver's potential victims hires a hitman, played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, to put a stop to Driver's rampaging. Driver and hitman have a couple of really intense face offs, which adds to the excitement and serves as one hell of an intense game of cat and mouse. All the while, two cops played by Billy Bob Thornton and The Rock's favorite co-star Carla Gugino, are trying to catch Driver in the act. They maintain their investigation while Driver goes on his killing spree, but are always one step behind him. It really couldn't get much more basic. The entire thing plays out with a rather straightforward narrative, but there is still modicum of mystery to it all, even though at its core, it's fairly predictable.
In the end, "Faster" is a simple but rather exciting film that's a decent watch for action thriller fans. Dwayne Johnson has really come into his own as an action star, and though this vehicle might be seen as lazy and uninspired, or just another cliche ripoff of the thousands of action films that came before it, we still found him and it relatively pleasing. It has some good violence and a whole lot of ass kicking.

RAWR! This year I decided to be a dinosaur for Halloween so I could spend the entire night RAWRING! I didn't buy a single thing to make this Woman's T-Rex Dinosaur Costume but instead had it lying around the house.
Step one: to make the shape of the mouth I used a plastic container, the mouth is a plastic container lid, the head was a fabric container in a square shape. Then using packaging tape and plastic bags I created the round head. I then glue gunned down a green towel around the shaped head. NOW YOU HAVE A HEAD!
Step two: the mouth I lined with white fabric and used red fabric for a tongue. The teeth I cut out of small Styrofoam balls. The eyes are the same Styrofoam balls.
Step Three: to make the tail using the same towel I glue gunned the shape of the tail together then I used a wire hanger to make it stand up straight then stuffed the tail with newspaper.
Step Four: using the towel again I made it run down my back to my bum, and glue gunned on elastic bans to go around my arms and waist.
Step Five: to make the spike I glue gunned the shape out of white fabric and stuff it with plastic bags. Then spray painted them pink.
I then painted the entire thing a darker green to make it scarier.
Just for a added touch I printed off a Jurassic Park Sign and Wrote "Property of" on it.
The costume was SO MUCH FUN! and everyone loved it. It took about 6 hours to make. You need 2 full green towels and a lot of glue sticks!
Good Luck and Happy Costume Making !

Q: Is it a good idea to track the same working copy with Git and SVN? Situation
Our client requires tracking only deliverables (PDFs of slides and documentation, source code) with Subversion/SVN, but we choose Git for internal developing purposes.
Research
With git-svn there is a tool to basically handle a SVN repository as a remote with Git. However I do not see the possibility to track all content with Git and only some versions of some content using SVN.
Question
Is it a good idea to use the two VCS on the same working copy to "develop" using Git and "release" finished deliverables to SVN? What obstacles may we encounter?
Tests
I have experimented with tracking the same working using the two version control systems and it works fine so far. I solved the issue of the two VCS tracking each other using ignores.

A: Certainly it's suboptimal to have two competing system for one task. But you stated the SVN is mandatory.  And the alternative where only the SVN plays is way worse than the combo.
Using git (or other well-working VCS) to supplement a legacy one is common practice, we probably need to wait while the corporate dinosaurs die out along with their nonsense requirements.

Tips for Communicating With an Expert Witness

I would highly recommend Gallo's remote deposition service. The uncertain times have forced attorneys to adjust our methods, as well as our flexibility in order to keep the wheels of justice turning for our clients. Through Zoom and a coordinated team effort of trainers, court reporters, and videographers, Gallo allows us to continue to work to further our clients' interests from our remote locations. Gallo's David Castle helped me run a test prior to the remote deposition, so I felt comfortable heading into same. On the day of the deposition, the Zoom link was readily accessible and all of the Gallo team members were in the meeting and ready to go. Finally, should any witness or attorney talk over one another (which we have a tendency to do, at times) or have any brief connection issues, Gallo's team was excellent about making sure the questions and answers were accurately taken down and preserved on video for trial.

Grief & The Nervous System
A FREE CLASS TUESDAY, July 5th at 11 am PT | 2 PM ET
✨ How do we tend to our grief so that it doesn't solidify into syndromes, diagnoses and tumors?
✨ How can we notice when big emotions- anger, anxiety, tantrums, + sadness- from our kids and our friends are really a call to grief?
✨What do we do when the collective heaviness and grief is weighing us down?
Untended grief can become trauma, but it's not an inevitability.
We need to cultivate ways to be together and move together, with and through grief.
Sign Up For This Free Class
During this class, we will attend to the questions of:
how grief relates to the autonomic nervous system, trauma work, + healing
what it means to bring children into the world in these times and how to relate to our children and each others' children through grief
how to sit in grief, move with grief and build grief literacy
Grief & the Nervous System.
There's no solving grief. There's only experiencing it. The extremes and polarities that we are seeing around us are a direct result of an ability to be with grief. The proliferation of mental health diagnoses, autoimmune conditions, and syndromes is also connected to a "culture" with no grief practices. To sit in it and also to MOVE with it.
We don't have to agree with one another to sit in grief together.

My Clerkenwell
Taking a Bau | Bauhaus Exhibition
With the Barbican about to host the biggest Bauhaus exhibition in the UK for years, Katie Bowman examines why such a brief moment in design has had such a lasting legacy
A 1929 drawing by Eugen Batz, who was taught by artist Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus school in Dessau
They swam in the nude. They slept outdoors. They wore their hair long and followed a curriculum that included breathing exercises and vegetarianism. They were the students of the Bauhaus, Germany's anti-academic "unified art school" that existed for just 14 years, between 1919 and 1933.
The term "Bauhaus" means so many things to so many people – it might be the curve of a balcony or the font on a music poster. In an attempt to celebrate, and perhaps clarify, these diverse perceptions, the Barbican is about to host the largest exhibition in the UK for more than 40 years on the art school that thrives as much on legend as it does on real life. Bauhaus: Art as Life runs from 3 May to 12 August.
There couldn't be a more relevant London neighbourhood in which to hold such a retrospective than Clerkenwell. Bauhaus was created by Walter Gropius, an innovative and successful architect who believed "art must change life". His acclaimed Fagus Factory in Germany was the first industrial building to flaunt corner windows and wraparound glass, so that it became a light, bright, encouraging place to work. Glass corners are a dynamic feature of the 1957 Golden Lane Estate, while former mid-century factories all over EC1 now make outstanding sunlit apartments. Similarly, the Finsbury Health Centre (Berthold Lubetkin, 1938) was intended to change people's health through "the sunny and airy effect" of its glass-brick façade.
Another Bauhaus concept that's crucial to Clerkenwell's architectural personality is that of social housing. Gropius' successor, Hannes Meyer, worked on the politically conscious Törten Housing Estate in Dessau with the assistance of Bauhaus students – it was a mix of one-storey cottages for the "petit bourgeoisie" and balcony-access housing blocks for the "proletariat". It is this exact concept that shaped the Barbican: a democratic estate built to house everybody from the postroom boy to his bank manager, while discreetly ensuring that they need never cross each other's path.
But bricks and mortar represent merely a fragment of the Bauhaus story. Classes in everything from advertising, weaving, town planning, photography, sculpture and painting were on offer. Even more impressive than the artistic diversity, however, is the roll call of Bauhaus Masters, the lead teachers. They included the artists Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky and, later, the designers Marcel Breuer and Josef Albers. The school's final Principal- Master, from 1930-1933, was Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Under their tutelage, Bauhaus students produced the utilitarian yet elegant Kandem table lamp, the Marianne Brandt teapot and, of course, variations on Marcel Breuer's tubular chair – all design icons to this day. Though we might think initially of sweeping white concrete structures when we hear the word "Bauhaus", it was actually the school's range of wallpaper that found the most commercial success during its time.
So, how to own your own piece of Bauhaus in 2012? You'll need to save up. The estimate on a Marianne Brandt teapot that was sold at Sotheby's five years ago started above £200,000. That said, Alessi does a very good inspiredby version for a little less...

Q: Can I use wordpress themes without wordpress? I didn't find answer for my question so I'm decided to ask here, so:
Can I use wordpress themes (for example: Twenty Twelve) without using wordpress?
I really like this theme but I don't want to use wordpress.
UPDATE
I don't need a theme functionality, but only a layout, colors (everyghink what is visible, (html/css)) and I want to use this theme (of course with modified code) in my own application.

A: /wp-content/themes/twenty-twelve/style.css
will have a lot of the visual elements of the theme in it to get inspiration, however you must realise that each of the elements coded into the css is designed to go with each one of the div or other elements designed in wordpress... Back coding it will almost be harder than writing it from scratch.
Also Wordpress is now an incredibly powerful tool with infinite customisation abilities. It's not just the blogging tool it used to be years ago. There's not much else out there that can achieve so much for the price (or lack of it) and have so many support channels for you to get to grips with it (ie WPSE!!)

A: I think you are looking for general HTML/CSS templates, not Wordpress themes.
As the name suggests, Wordpress themes are designed to be used with Wordpress only.
For general HTML/CSS templates, you could search Google for phrases such as:
"HTML CSS themes"
"HTML CSS templates"
"HTML CSS themes 2014"
etc.


The motto stands - or rather stood - in three mile high illuminated letters near the Complaints Department spaceport on Eadrax - "Share and Enjoy". Unfortunately its weight was such that shortly after it was erected, the ground beneath the letters caved in and they dropped for nearly half their length through the underground offices of many talented young complaints executives - now deceased. The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read "Go stick your head in a pig", and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.
At these times of special celebration a choir of over two million robots sing the company song "Share and Enjoy". Unfortunately - again - another of the computing errors for which the company is justly famous means that the robot's voices are exactly a flattened fifth out of tune and the result sounds something like this, only slightly worse.
The allegedly official afda homepage is designed and maintained by iain.
The management reserves the right to disappear for long periods with no warning or explanatiain.
We demand that afda may or may not stand for "Absolutely Fabulous Doesn't Appeal"

Boxing loses one of its greatest ever
Updated: Nov. 9, 2011, 12:29 p.m.
PHILADELPHIA — Joe Frazier needed the night of his career to knock down "The Greatest."
Frazier, a Beaufort, S.C., native, knocked down Muhammad Ali in the 15th round and became the first man to beat him in the Fight of the Century at Madison Square Garden in March 1971, the first in a trilogy of bouts that have gone down as boxing's most fabled fights.
"That was the greatest thing that ever happened in my life," Frazier said.
The relentless, undersized heavyweight ruled the division as champion, then spent a lifetime trying to fight his way out of Ali's shadow.
Frazier, who died Monday night after a brief battle with liver cancer at the age of 67, forever will be associated with Ali. No one in boxing ever would dream of anointing Ali as The Greatest unless he, too, was linked to Smokin' Joe.
"I will always remember Joe with respect and admiration," Ali said in a statement. "My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones."
They fought three times, twice in the heart of New York City and once in the morning in a steamy arena in the Thrilla in Manila, the Philippines. They went 41 rounds together. Neither gave an inch and both gave it their all.
In their last fight in Manila in 1975, they traded punches with a fervor that seemed unimaginable among heavyweights. Frazier gave almost as good as he got for 14 rounds, then had to be held back by trainer Eddie Futch as he tried to go out for the final round, unable to see.
"Closest thing to dying that I know of," Ali said afterward.
Ali was as merciless with Frazier out of the ring as he was inside it. He called him a gorilla and mocked him as an Uncle Tom.
But he respected him as a fighter, especially after Frazier won a decision to defend his heavyweight title against the then-unbeaten Ali in a fight that was so big Frank Sinatra was shooting pictures at ringside and both fighters earned an astonishing $2.5 million.
Bob Arum, who once promoted Ali, said he was saddened by Frazier's passing.
"He was such an inspirational guy. A decent guy. A man of his word," Arum said. "I'm torn up by Joe dying at this relatively young age. I can't say enough about Joe."
Frazier's death was announced in a statement by his family, who asked to be able to grieve privately and said they would announce "our father's homecoming celebration" as soon as possible.
Frazier was small for a heavyweight, weighing just 205 pounds when he won the title by stopping Jimmy Ellis in the fifth round of their 1970 fight at Madison Square Garden. But he fought every minute of every round going forward behind a vicious left hook, and there were few fighters who could withstand his constant pressure.
His reign as heavyweight champion lasted only four fights — including the win over Ali — before he ran into an even more fearsome slugger than himself. George Foreman responded to Frazier's constant attack by dropping him three times in the first round and three more in the second before their 1973 fight in Jamaica was waved to a close and the world had a new heavyweight champion.
Two fights later, Frazier met Ali in a rematch of their first fight and Ali won a 12-round decision. There had to be a third fight, though, and what a fight it was. With Ali's heavyweight title at stake, the two met in Manila in a fight that long will be seared in boxing history.
Frazier went after Ali round after round, landing his left hook with regularity as he made Ali backpedal around the ring. But Ali responded with left jabs and right hands that found their mark again and again. Even the intense heat inside the arena couldn't stop the two as they fought every minute of every round with neither willing to concede the other one second of the round.
"They told me Joe Frazier was through," Ali told Frazier at one point during the fight.
"They lied," Frazier said, before hitting Ali with a left hook.
Finally, though, Frazier simply couldn't see and Futch would not let him go out for the 15th round. Ali won the fight while on his stool, exhausted and contemplating himself whether to go on.
"It was unworldly what we had just seen," Arum said.

Movie review: Natalie Portman steals the show and makes viewers wince in the rock world of 'Vox Lux'
Ed Symkus More Content Now
The excesses of rock 'n' roll can get you into trouble. Look at what's happened to various real people and made-up characters just this year on the big screen. Explanations were given as to how Joan Jett earned her "bad reputation" in the documentary with that title; Freddie Mercury took a deep dive into the well of sex and drugs and the rest in "Bohemian Rhapsody"; Ally - all she needed was one name - as played by Lady Gaga, became a successful, albeit commercialized piece of plastic in "A Star Is Born."
Mix all of that together, along with a touch of the fictionalized Iggy Pop/David Bowie story in the great and gaudy and underrated 1998 film "Velvet Goldmine," and you'll have a taste of where "Vox Lux" is going to lead you.
Beginning in 1999, and spread out over a couple of decades, it's a tale of the meteoric rise of 13-year-old would-be pop singer Celeste (Raffey Cassidy), whose career is launched after a gunman in a junior high school attack mows down students and teachers, and leaves her with a bullet lodged in her spine. But determination drives her to rise from a wheelchair at a school assembly, break into a mournful tribute-to-the-dead song she says she wrote and, as told via slightly sardonic narration by Willem Dafoe, eventually become a superstar.
Her first time in a recording studio is difficult, but her new manager (his name is never spoken but he's played by Jude Law) gives her just the right pep talk. Soon after that, a record company executive explains that he might be able to help her, but in order to make her a viable act, she'll first need to take dance lessons. Then some dramatic tension is introduced. Celeste and her older sister Ellie (Stacy Martin) have been inseparable since the shooting and now, even though it's made clear that Ellie is "prettier and is a better singer," it's Celeste who's on the way up.
Writer-director Brady Corbet does a nice job of unpacking a cache of moviemaking devices, ranging from breaking the film up into acts - one is titled "Genesis," its follow-up is "Regenesis" - to splashing the screen with wild montages of the sisters and the manager on the road in Europe and, alas, the overuse of Dafoe's narration (he's good, it's just that the gimmick is relied on too much). But Corbet's strength is in letting most of his actors really get into their parts, especially when everything jumps ahead in time.
Law underacts it to just the right degree all the way through, Cassidy is now in the role of Celeste's uppity daughter Albertine, Martin is still playing Ellie, convincingly reeking of jealousy and anger because her own talent was overlooked.
But all eyes and ears will be fixed on Natalie Portman when she takes over the part of 31-year-old Celeste. The innocence and determination of the younger version of herself is gone. The narrator tells us that she's become a prisoner of her success, then goes on to give a recap of the many things that have gone wrong for her over the past decade, including an accident and an arrest. And there's Portman, after a riveting presentation of Jackie Kennedy in "Jackie," and then a sleepwalk through "Annihilation," giving us a jaded pop star with both drinking and drug problems, along with a short temper. It's a terrific and brave performance.
There's another terrorist attack, this time on a beach in Croatia, where gunmen are wearing the same masks Celeste is wearing in her new video. Is it coincidence or is it a statement on the moral corruption of Western pop culture? No one knows. Neither is anyone sure if Celeste's comeback concert tour should go on as planned. Worse, when showtime does arrive, there's a question of whether or not she's sober enough to get onstage.
The film's final 15 or 20 minutes consists of that show, of mounting trouble between the sisters, surprising details - again via Dafoe's voice - of what's actually behind Celeste's success and, truth be told, some pretty cool hook-filled pop songs written by Sia that are far better than most of her own catalogue of pop hits.

Der V. Bezirk in der ungarischen Hauptstadt Budapest wird auch als Belváros-Lipótváros (deutsch "Innenstadt-Leopoldstadt") bezeichnet. Er liegt im Herzen der Hauptstadt und ist in Hinsicht auf öffentliche Verwaltung, Wirtschaft und Tourismus ein Zentrum innerhalb der Stadt.

Aktuelle Daten
Der Bezirk besteht aus den Stadtteilen Belváros und Lipótváros und nimmt eine Fläche von 2,59 km² der Stadt Budapest ein (525,16 km²). Es leben hier etwa 28.000 der rund 1.700.000 Einwohner der Hauptstadt. Der 5. Bezirk ist in sechs Postleitzahlen unterteilt. Dabei steht die erste Ziffer für Budapest, die mittleren beiden Ziffern kennzeichnen die Bezirksnummer und die letzte Ziffer folgt einer weiteren Gliederung innerhalb des Bezirks.

Lage
Der V. Bezirk ist der zentrale Bezirk auf der Pester Seite. Im Norden grenzt er an den XIII. Bezirk, im Osten an den VI., VII. und VIII. Bezirk an. Im Süden liegt der IX. Bezirk und im Westen die Donau, bzw. am anderen Ufer der I. und II. Bezirk.

Geschichte
Das Gebiet war bereits in prähistorischer Zeit von Menschen besiedelt. Die ersten schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen stammen aus römischer Zeit. Der V. Bezirk liegt in Pest, das im 11. Jahrhundert aus einer Siedlung von Händlern hervorging. Unter der Herrschaft von Matthias Corvinus erlebte die Stadt im 15. Jahrhundert eine Hochphase. Damals war Pest von einer Stadtmauer umgeben und konnte durch drei Tore betreten werden: das Váci kapu ("Vácer Tor"), das Kecskeméti kapu ("Kecskeméter Tor"), und das Hatvani kapu ("Hatvaner Tor"), die heute nicht mehr erhalten sind. Unter der türkischen Herrschaft von 1541 bis 1686 wurde die Stadt beinahe völlig zerstört. Nach der Rückeroberung von Buda 1686 nahm auch Pest schnell wieder an Bedeutung zu. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer wurden die Siedlungen Terézváros, Józsefváros, Ferencváros und Lipótváros gegründet, was schließlich den Abriss der Mauer zur Folge hatte. Seither hat sich die Bezeichnung Belváros durchgesetzt.

Im Jahr 1838 verursachte eine Hochwasserkatastrophe schwere Schäden. In den Folgejahren wurde die Leopoldstadt nach Plänen des Stadtbaumeisters József Hild im Stil des Klassizismus wiederaufgebaut.

Nach der Vereinigung von Pest, Buda und Óbuda 1873 wurden mit der Freiheitsbrücke und der Elisabethbrücke direkte Verbindungen zur Innenstadt errichtet. Auch der Duna-korzó, die Uferpromenade wurde zu dieser Zeit gebaut. Das neu gegründete Budapest war ursprünglich in zehn Bezirke untergliedert, wovon der Bezirk Belváros zunächst die Nummer sechs trug, während Lipótváros, das sich bis zur Grenze von Újpest erstreckte, damals als fünfter Bezirk bezeichnet wurde.

Die nördliche Grenze des 5. Bezirks war von 1930 an die Dráva utca. Als im Jahr 1950 der ehemalige 4. Bezirk angegliedert wurde, dehnte sich die Grenze bis zum Szent István körút aus.

Öffentlicher Nahverkehr
Der V. Bezirk ist ein Verkehrsknotenpunkt. Am Deák Ferenc tér kreuzen sich die Metrolinien M2 und M3 mit der Földalatti vasút M1. Die Verbindung zu Buda wird heute durch vier Donaubrücken gewährleistet, über die auch Straßenbahn- und Buslinien führen. An den Grenzen des Bezirks verlaufen ebenfalls Straßenbahnlinien entlang der großen Ringstraßen. Die Schiffsanlegestelle am Vigadó tér ist ein Zentrum für Ausflugsfahrten innerhalb der Stadt, sowie nationale und internationale Schifffahrten.

Suspense In Gothic Fiction
The detective story usually places its characters into an old house, a mansion, and the feeling of claustrophobia and mystery arises from darkness, shadows, stormy weather and light strange reflections.

therefore, that what at first the reader considers inexplicable (it cannot be explained) ends up becoming unexplained (it can be explained), a procedure that clearly approximates the Gothic story to the detective fiction This point is confirmed by Hoveyda (1967: 19) who states that these types of novels, the Gothic, also called black novels, which were very much in vogue at the end of the 18th century, have a special feature: they begin with the fear of the invisible and end with an explanation,
Symbolism In Gothic Literature
Gothic literature is the succession of romantic literature and a genre that particularly covers the period of time from approximately 1764 to 1840 although it has been prominent until this day. It emerged in England but expeditiously spread to France and Germany to finally pervade almost the whole world. As Jerrold Hogle writes: …it exploded in the 1790s (the decade Walpole died) throughout the British Isles, on the continent of Europe, and briefly in the new United States, particularly for a female
Transgression In Gothic Literature
Hugh Blair labels the artistic gothic architecture – the setting, as a source of the sublime "A gothic cathedral raises ideas of grandeur in our mind, by its size, its height, its awful obscurity, its strength, its antiquity, and its durability".14 Another key feature of the gothic genre is transgression. Transgression is simply the violation of social, cultural and moral norms. Gothic tries to get over conventional boundaries and break the rules of law and nature by transgressing to supernaturalism:
Gothic Elements In Rebecca
As a result many gothic subtitles appear, and it is true to regard Rebecca as 'detective mystery' since it includes a murder case. 25 4.3.2 The Setting and Weather The most eminent gothic elements revolve around the setting, Manderley. The setting in this story has a major contribution to the tone and mood of gothic. Rebecca is a classical- modern gothic literature. Manderley, is a colossal mansion secluded in its own world . As the classical gothic fiction is characterized by the traditional settings

Ancient Mariner", "Kubla Khan" and "Christabel". All of these three, especially "Kubla Khan" and "Christabel" are full of supernatural elements, which make poems closer to the Gothic poetry. So because of that reason I am going to discuss how "Kubla Khan" and Christabel" conform to, or deviate from, the conventions of a gothic genre, and for what purpose. "Christabel" is unfinished poem, which has two parts. Main character-Christabel is the innocent daughter of Sir Leoline. One day, while praying at

study are indisputably similar. A Gothic novel as revealed through the various illustrations explains to the readers a world filled with terror, horror, madness, mystery and unsolved crime. The gothic fiction germinated in the latter part of the 18th century. Various causes have been ascribed for the Gothic origin and development. When Poe appeared on the American literary scene, more than seventy years old tradition in Gothic writing existed. At its best, Gothic literature evokes the emotional response

PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds Players Caught Cheating in China Face Mob Justice
PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds Cheaters Need to Beware!
Nobody likes cheaters, particularly in online games. They practically ruined Modern Warfare 2 on the PC, but that's another story. The bottom line is, when online, pretty much everyone hopes that they can all play on a reasonable level playing field.
When it comes to PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds, there have been issues with cheaters. It is a matter that the developers are keen to address, with an iron rod. We reported on a short time ago that the developers were banning up to 20,000 accounts a day in an effort to combat cheating.
While this is good news in itself for legitimate players, gamers in China have apparently decided to take the law into their own hands.
Reports have emerged via PCGamesN that cheaters who have been caught in the act within internet cafes have been summarily beaten up. We recently reported how the Chinese government had recently condemned 'Battle Royale' style games. Maybe they had a point…
Cheaters don't prosper. In China, they also apparently don't keep their teeth.
PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds game style of 100-1 is difficult. Where there is a difficulty, there are often cheaters. Most people don't have a problem if people cheat at single player games. They are, after all, only cheating themselves. In multiplayer titles, however, most people have a firm policy. Namely, a zero-tolerance policy.
With over 15,000,000 copies sold, PUBG was bound to have cheaters. Those who cheat in China have, however, come under more social pressure than you would expect.
Reports suggest that cheaters are openly being chastised, throw-out or in some extreme instances beaten up in China. This, just for cheating at PUBG.
There is, despite clearly a concern over mob-justice, a logic to this. The Chinese PUBG community is concerned at the number of cheaters from the country. Simply put they don't all want them all to be tarnished for the actions of a few. So, in fairness, while their actions cannot be applauded, their motivation at least sounds fairly legit. It's an attitude I wish gamers from a certain country coincidentally between Europe and China would take more seriously. Naming no names.
What do you think? Is this justice against cheaters or mob-rule going too far? – Let us know in the comments!

Q: Adding Textviews Dynamically goes out of focus to a Linear Layout I am trying to achieve a dynamic list of textviews like in the image below :-

Here is my code :-
        LayerDrawable dashboardResShape_community= (LayerDrawable) getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.upcomingtask_tags_shape);
        // The background effect is by the layer list drawable from the above code

        LinearLayout tags_view2=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.tags_view);
        LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams( LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        lp.setMargins(10, 2, 2, 2);
        TextView[] tx = new TextView[15];

        for(int i=0; i<15; i++) {
            tx[i] = new TextView(getActivity());
            tx[i].setPadding(8, 4, 8, 4);
            tx[i].setBackground(dashboardResShape_community);
            tx[i].setLayoutParams(lp);
            tx[i].setText("Tag"+i);
            tags_view2.addView(tx[i]);
        }

and in my xml there is only a linear layout :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/tags_view"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

</LinearLayout>

This is what i achieve :-

When i am adding 15 textviews, only 8 are shown like below, the rest should come in the next line but they are not.
If i add more textviews, it goes out of screen but i want to add the textview in the second line when the first line is full. What i am doing wrong here?

A: Its LinearLayout's limitation.
If you want the explained behavior than

*

*You have to make your own Layout/View refer this link or

*Impliment LinearLayout Horizontal orientation with wrapping children like this

A: you cannot get more text views on next line after linear layout is filled( screen width ), you already the made linear layout orientation as horizontal. Better solution add one more linear layout or use relative (do some child count coding and set parameters). The best solution i prefer for u is table layout. Easier to code code and handle

A: What you can do is add as many textviews as will fit on the screen to your linearlayout, but then when  a textview would go off the screen, you could add another linearlayout below the one that you already had, and then add on to that. You could keep doing that and you would end up with no textviews goind off the screen. You could also try using a gridview.
Here is what this layout looks like:

And here is the documentation:

How to police from the heart in your community
Every day cops see people who need a helping hand beyond traditional policing services
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." – Margaret Mead
Seaside, California, is located on the central coast of the Monterey Peninsula. The peninsula is known for its beautiful beach fronts, world-renowned golf courses and being home to legendary actor, producer and director Clint Eastwood. However, the Monterey Peninsula is not all glamour and swank. At the center of the peninsula is a small town with a population of about 34,000 called Seaside.
The City of Seaside was incorporated in 1954. Through the years, this diverse community has had a history of gang violence and drug activity. There is no other area in Seaside more infamous for contributing to the city's reputation during the late 1960s and well into the 1990s than the Del Monte Manor, the largest low-income housing development on the peninsula.

How to build bridges through community policing
6 ways beat officers can make a difference through community policing
Why cops need to get out of their cars: Strategies for community engagement
In the early 2000s, veteran Seaside police officers would share stories about the violence and tension between residents of the Del Monte Manor and police. One police sergeant would say, "We could not go into that complex without at least three cops. Residents would throw bottles at us and sometimes even shoot at us."
The Del Monte Manor has been featured in numerous local gangster rap videos as a legendary landmark showcasing Seaside's dangerous history and reputation.
Fast forward to 2016
A police officer who patrols the area of the Del Monte Manor each day stops alongside the roadway and observes young children playing on a rundown playground surrounded by sand. The officer has his window down and hears a mother shout out to her young son, "Don't play in there too long, I don't want to get fleas in the house again."
This could have been the end of the cop's observation. Fortunately, it was the beginning of something remarkable.
The officer got out of his patrol car and began asking questions. "How long has this park been here? Why isn't there a nicer playground for the kids to play in?" The answers were shocking. The City of Seaside had donated second-hand equipment over 35 years ago. While the City's gesture was commendable, the equipment was inadequate from the start. Generations of kids grew up playing on the same subpar playground equipment. The big metal slide had seen its share of crying kids falling off the uneven slide.
Perhaps the most important thing the officer discovered was that a playground committee had just been formed by Del Monte Manor residents.

Policing beyond the badge
The police officer wanted the entire Seaside Police Department to get behind the residents and help them acquire a new playground. The residents were hesitant. There was still a sense of distrust toward the police. It was not common to have the police at the Del Monte Manor for anything short of a service call pertaining to a tense or negative situation.
However, the residents knew a new playground would be a budgetary challenge so they were looking for a helping hand to proceed with their plans. From that moment, the group of residents and police officers would be known as the Del Monte Manor Coalition.
In 2017, the Seaside Police Department partnered with the Seaside Fire Department to organize a fundraising event at the Del Monte Manor. Although the event only raised about $1000, the barriers broken proved priceless.
Since the event, Seaside officers attended weekly meetings, assisted in grant writing, collected donations and helped make the right connections to keep the project alive. Earlier this year, the Del Monte Manor Coalition raised more than $60,000 to fund the entire playground renovation. The City of Seaside Public Works Department lent a hand and contracted services to have all the old equipment removed at no cost.
In January 2019, the new Del Monte Manor playground opened thanks to a collaborative effort between residents and the City of Seaside police and fire departments. (Photo/Nick Borges)
Today, the playground is fully installed and landscaped. At its grand opening in January, officers played basketball with the kids, barbecued hotdogs and honored the community for coming together for the project. The playground signifies much more than just an area where kids will play and make memories; it is a symbol for the community that anything is possible when we unite. The relationship developed between the residents and the Seaside Police Department is perhaps one of the most significant side effects that no one could have anticipated two years earlier.
Police officers spend hours patrolling neighborhoods all across the United States. They see people every day who need a helping hand beyond the traditional policing services. When a community unites, great things can happen.

Employers need to do more to support their PQs.
That is one of the key findings of our exclusive survey, conducted with Hays Accountancy & Finance.
A whopping 47.22% of respondents said their employers just weren't supportive enough when it comes to the assistance they provide. In all, 29% (over one in four) rated the study support offered by their employers as 'very poor'.
It is a story of 'haves' and 'have nots', as 35% of our respondents said their study support was great (good or very good). One PQ revealed their employer made a room available for them to study if they needed it during work time. Another explained they had a 'surprisingly good package', and were pleased with their five days per exam study leave and full costs paid.
Other PQs are more proactive: "My previous employer offered study support at 100% and then reduced it to 50%. I subsequently left that company." But many trainees were concerned that they would need to repay study fees if they left the job early.

Q: How to create function that classifies sample data I want to create expression, that classifies samples ( 4 weather features -> decision).
Example training data:

For the values that i have data for, I can use rules:
fs = {
   {0, 0, 0, 0} -> 1, {2, 1, 0, 0} -> 1, {2, 2, 1, 0} -> 1, {0, 2, 1, 1} -> 1,
   {1, 2, 1, 0} -> 1, {2, 1, 1, 0} -> 1, {1, 1, 1, 1} -> 1, {0, 1, 0, 1} -> 1,
   {0, 0, 1, 0} -> 1, {1, 0, 0, 0} -> 0, {1, 0, 0, 1} -> 0, {2, 2, 1, 1} -> 0,
   {1, 1, 0, 0} -> 0, {2, 1, 0, 1} -> 0};
{2, 1, 0, 1} /. fs

Alternatively I can use table/hashmap:
fs[{0, 0, 0, 0}] = 1;
fs[{2, 1, 0, 0}] = 1;
(*etc.*)
fs[{2, 1, 0, 1}]

How can I compute an estimation decision based on closest* existing sample element(s)?

closeness can be defined by any distance function ex: {euclidean distance,hamming distance,...}.

A: If I understood correctly, just do, using your fs
classify=Nearest[fs];

or eventually
classify=Nearest[fs, DistanceFunction->distFun]

where distFun can be EuclideanDistance, HammingDistance, .... Then you just do
classify[data]

to get your result

Q: Finding a specific permutation from a string I recently got tasked something similar to this in an interview preparation and only had 40min to do it. I know I can brute force it with conditional statements, but it began to get a little complex due to the restrictions on the first hour and minute positions which slowed me down. Am I missing something here and is there an easier, faster way to do it? I use to have confidence in my ability to handle Strings and permutations in general, but now me running out of time on this task has me wondering if I am really up to the standards of an entry level job for a recent graduate.
Task:
What is the next earliest time that can be displayed using some permutation of these digits supplied in the string given to the method?
Class Solution { public String solution(String S); }
Write a function that, given a non-empty string S in "HH:MM" format, returns the string in the same format, specifying the first time after the given time that can be represented by a permutation of the digits in S.
For example, given "11:10" your function should return "01:11"; for "23:58" the result should be "23:58" (as there is only 1 possible permutation in that instance).

A: *

*Swap minutes ex (35 -> 53), if the minutes are greater when swapped and < 60 you are done

*If the minutes are not greater look at the next greatest hour (ex 11 -> 12) modulo 24

*Check to see if you can make the next hour (12) with the digits given

*If yes, create the smallest minute time with the remaining digits making sure the minutes are valid ie < 60, else increase the hour and try again

*If you reach the same hour as you started with you have rolled around, return the same permutation back as there is no answer

This is my pusedocode I came up with, If you see any errors please feel free to point them out. Very interesting question by the way
Here is my solution, I had a lot of fun doing this question
public class Main {

    public static String nextTime(String s) {
        int hours;
        if (s.charAt(3) < s.charAt(4) && s.charAt(4) < '6')
            return s.substring(0, 3) + s.charAt(4) + s.charAt(3);
        hours = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0, 2));
        int tempHours = hours + 1;
        while (tempHours % 24 != hours) {
            tempHours %= 24;
            String h = String.format("%02d", tempHours);
            String minutes = s;
            for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
                if (h.charAt(0) == s.charAt(i)) {
                    minutes = s.substring(0, i) + s.substring(i + 1);
                    break;
                }
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < minutes.length(); i++) {
                if (h.charAt(1) == minutes.charAt(i)) {
                    minutes = minutes.substring(0, i) + minutes.substring(i + 1);
                    break;
                }
            }

            if (minutes.length() > 3) {
                tempHours++;
                continue;
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < minutes.length(); i++) {
                if (':' == minutes.charAt(i)) {
                    minutes = minutes.substring(0, i) + minutes.substring(i + 1);
                    break;
                }
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
                if (s.charAt(i) != h.charAt(0) && h.charAt(1) != s.charAt(i) && s.charAt(i) != ':') {
                    minutes += s.charAt(i);
                }
            }

            if (minutes.charAt(0) < minutes.charAt(1) && Integer.parseInt(minutes) < 60) {
                return h + ":" + minutes;
            } else if (minutes.charAt(1) < '6') {
                return h + ":" + minutes.charAt(1) + minutes.charAt(0);
            }

            tempHours++;
        }
        return s;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println(nextTime(in.next()));
        in.close();
    }

A: I might be missing something obvious here but why not just

*

*Start from the time provided.

*Count up +1 minute until you've reached the same time again.

*Return the first time that has the same digits as the time provided.

?

A: The most efficient approach is a deterministic one, where you create time combinations based on the digits.  Since a time has only 4 digits, the maximum combinations is 4! = 24.  This algorithm creates a maximum of 24 combinations (recursively), but will short circuit and only continuing building combinations which have valid times.  As such, the actual number of combinations will usually be less than 24.
Given the (maximum 24) combinations, they are then sorted by time.  The next time is simply the next element in the sort following the given time.
Algorithm:
Input: A valid time string T
Output: The next time after the input time N
Create an empty Set (to store valid Times) S
Create valid combinations of T and add to S
Convert S to a List L
Sort L
Determine the index I in L of T
If size(L) == 1 Then N = T
else N = element in L at index I+1 (modulus list size)
And the code:
public class NextTime {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String time = "12:12";
    System.out.println("Starting time="+time);
    System.out.println("Next time="+getNextTime(time));
}

static Set<Integer> times = new HashSet<>();

private static String getNextTime(String time) {
    // Create a list with the 4 digits (strip out the ':')
    List<String> digits = Arrays.asList(time.split("")).stream().filter(d -> !d.equals(":"))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
    // Build up the set of maximum 24 times
    timeCombinations(digits, 0, "");
    // Sort the list of times (which are integers representing minutes)
    List<Integer> sortedTimeList = times.stream().sorted().collect(Collectors.toList());
    // Find the next index immediately after the current time
    int newIndex = 0;
    if (sortedTimeList.size() > 1) {
        int currentTime = Integer.valueOf(time.substring(0, 2)) * 60 + Integer.valueOf(time.substring(3, 5));
        int listPosition = sortedTimeList.indexOf(currentTime);
        newIndex = (listPosition + 1) % times.size();
    }
    // Turn the time back into a string
    String newTimeString = String.format("%02d:%02d", sortedTimeList.get(newIndex)/60, sortedTimeList.get(newIndex)%60);
    return newTimeString;
}

private static void timeCombinations(List<String> digits, int depth, String result) {
    if (depth == 4) {
        // You have a valid time; Convert time string like 1234 to minutes

Aero has been shortlisted to deliver L-39NG to Philippines
Aero L-39NG trainer aircraft.
After several delays, the ADAS Defense and Security Event was held in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, in the last week of April. Czech aircraft manufacturer AERO Vodochody AEROSPACE attended the event with its flagship product, the L-39NG trainer and light attack aircraft. The company highlighted how its aircraft perfectly meets the Philippine Air Force training concept, which is currently undergoing extensive modernization.
With the support of the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic and the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Manila, AERO representatives held meetings with the Philippines Secretary of National Defense, Mr. Delfin N. Lorenzana, the National Security Adviser, Mr. Hermognes C. Esperon, the Secretary of the Department of Transportation, Mr. Arthur P. Tugade and the Air Force Chief, Major General Connor A. Canlas.
"The Philippine Air Force is currently looking for a replacement for the outdated S-211s, which are primarily used to train fighter pilots. The L-39NG concept offers the Philippine Air Force several advantages. Among its greatest strengths are the comprehensive training system which includes the
L-39NG aircraft, pilot and ground staff training, simulation solutions, advanced maintenance concept and weapon systems," said Viktor Sotona, CEO and President of the company.
