DEVENS -- The fifth annual Massachusetts Jobs and Workforce Summit, held at the Devens Common Center Wednesday, brought together business leaders, educators, politicians and government officials to talk about one thing -- getting people employed.
All stressed the importance of sharing ideas, of skilled labor and manufacturing, and making sure people get proper education and training.
Kathie Mainzer, director of the Workforce Solutions Group, said this is one of the few times various leaders can come together.
They took full advantage of it.
In the morning, U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III discussed how Massachusetts is a leader because of its citizens.
"Our people are our competitive edge," he said, also noting that "workforce development is the ultimate tool to (fight) social injustice."
Gubernatorial candidates Martha Coakley and Charlie Baker expressed similar sentiments.
"We can do much more with the resources we have," said Democrat Coakley, whose economic plan will use $400 million from state capital funds for 10-year targeted infrastructure investments and $100 million for targeted regional economic developments.
She stressed the importance of closing gaps between the employed and unemployed, and that the state must be pragmatic and set up metrics when exploring economic solutions. If elected, she said, she would find out what works.
"I won't fix something if it's not broken," she said.
Baker said solving the labor challenge is "one of the greatest challenges we're going to face."
The Republican said there should be tighter connections between career and workforce-development services and unemployment services, also noting that "there are a lot of employment opportunities out there."
People would need to match skill sets, he said. And he, like other speakers, discussed the resurgence of on-the-job training, something that is a "very old concept" and has been successful. Massachusetts should also "be a lot more aggressive" about helping teenagers who have dropped out of school or are thinking of doing so.
He also said he won't break things that work.
Chris Kealey, deputy director of the Massachusetts Business Roundtable, called the summit a "tremendous success," noting that it drew more than 275 people.
"We heard some really rich ideas," he said.
Marty Jones, president and CEO of MassDevelopment, said there is "value (in) getting people together in a room."
The summit brought out a great mix of people, all of whom wanted to find ways to land skilled workers, she said.
"I think it was a great day," she said.
Attendees had the opportunity to check out panels on municipal job creation, wage equity for women and workforce-development financing. They also had the chance to network with one another.
Edith Coleman Chears does workforce-development education at Roxbury Community College, and she said the summit was amazing.
"I'm impressed that at a gathering like this" there are government, business and educational leaders, she said. "That is going to affect change."

EARLY TRANSISTOR HISTORY AT MOTOROLA
"PELTIER GIVES HOGAN THE COLD SHOULDER"
by Ralph Greenburg
Curator's Introduction: Although Motorola was a major manufacturer of a variety of semiconductor devices, including diodes, rectifiers, transistors and ICs, there was at least one unique semiconductor, "the Peltier cooler", that was never a Motorola product. Ralph's comments on an early evaluation of this product with Lester Hogan might explain why. (Note: The complete Ralph Greenburg Oral History can be found at the Transistor Museum™ homepage).
In 1956 the Semiconductor Operations were moved from 56th St. plant to the then new facility at 52nd St. and McDowell Rd. The Applications Engineer Laboratory was on the north side of Building A, complete with windows and a view of Camelback Mountain. When Dr. C. Lester Hogan joined Motorola as the General Manager of Semiconductor operations his office was right down the hall. Dr. Hogan would often drop by the lab to see what we were doing and solicit ideas for improvements in semiconductor devices. We would read off a laundry list of transistor improvements--Higher power, higher frequency, higher gain, better quality and lower price. Clearly he made note of our requests because all of those things happened.
Hogan was intrigued with any new application circuit. No matter how weird the experiments, Hogan was interested. Once, Fred Maynard, our resident idea man, developed the "Terraquaphone", an audio transmitter hooked to a metal stake driven in the ground and thirty feet away another stake hooked to a receiver. The earth conducted the information in a barely audible manner. Hogan thought that this was great, but nobody else did (I bet earthworms could have used the device).
The Product Marketing Department was next to the Lab and as it expanded the Applications Lab had to be moved. Facility managers (Such as, Norm Bell, Jim Schmidlin and their cohorts) thought Application Engineers were happy if they had white socks, a shirt with a pocket (so there was a place to put the pocket protector) and an A.C. outlet to plug in a soldering iron. Of course they were right and the Lab could be any place, we would be happy in a tent. Which is exactly where we were moved. The official name was N building which was a war surplus prefab Butler Building made with a steel frame covered with galvanized iron sheets and complete with a pitched roof. It was immediately dubbed the "Tin Tent". The tent had no windows, but that didn't matter since all one could see were the adjacent acid storage shed and the waste solvent settling tanks. Not only did it not have windows it had no plumbing. Rest rooms were in the main building.

My nurse Susan says I am a project so here's my status for the week.
I am at the half-way point on my radiation therapy — 13 treatments down and only 12 to go.
Attended a cancer treatment nutrition class where we discovered I was pretty much eating right. Thanks to my nurse, Susan.
Received an Emergency Clown Nose from a friend. Thanks Liz! If ya can't get rid of those pesky noses hairs just cover'em up. My brother's suggestion of a booger bucket notwithstanding, of course. Thanks Tim!
Went to a cancer support group meeting. What the heck. I thought I would give it a whirl!
Gained back 3 pounds, after a loss of about 8.
Finally got the CatScan I was looking for. Thanks Fred and Marion!
Have a fun week everybody and thanks so much for your prayers and support.
Nothing like a prominent proboscis, I always say. Actually I've never said that before but I like the way it sounds. You're halfway through the chemo already? Hang in there buddy. You're always in our thoughts.
You are such an inspiration!!!!! Glad to hear you are gaining back some weight and I just Love the nose!!!! You are half way home and sounds like you are doing all the right things. I know you are going to beat this!!!! Take care my friend and I look forward to your next update.
Love your new nose, your sense of humor and great attitude. Keep up the good work and compliments to Nurse Susan for doing such a great job.
Glad to hear the good news! Love your red nose — I would never say that it suits you, but it does. You are continually in our thoughts and prayers!
This is soooo Bizarro World! We're suppose to be cheering YOU up but it's the opposite! You're the one doing the cheering (making me smile). Although it's a close finish, the Clown Nose wins the gold with the Cat Scan winning a silver and bugger bucket a bronze.
PS Just heard on the radio yesterday (there was a study) that people who laugh at the same stuff tend to think along the same line or have a lot in common.
Half done is an important milestone – you're on the downhill slope now! The second half will go more quickly. Your confident attitude is taking you far. We're looking forward to your next posting. Not a day goes by that we don't think the best thoughts about you!

What do subjective measures tell us about human flourishing?
What do subjective measures of well-being tell us about the relationships between freedom and flourishing?
A recent review of happiness research, conducted by Will Wilkinson, suggests that a great deal of caution is required in drawing any conclusions from subjective measures of well-being (In pursuit of happiness research, Is it reliable? What does it imply for policy?). There is disagreement about what researchers should be trying to measure and about the limitations of current measurement techniques.
Even if subjective measures can be accepted at face value there are problems in interpreting what they mean. The nature of these problems is shown in reactions to the observation that subjective indicators of well-being, such as satisfaction with life as a whole, show only small increases in response to rising incomes in wealthy countries. Some observers have suggested that this makes economic growth akin to chasing a mirage. As incomes rise people adapt to higher incomes and their aspirations rise. In his book, "Happiness" (2005), Richard Layard suggests that rising aspirations reflect a problem of addiction which justifies high levels of taxation.
Others (including me) have suggested that rising aspirations reflect the innate capability of humans to avoid chasing mirages – that is, to be satisfied with outcomes that are technologically feasible. Economic growth reflects technological progress and the extent to which the institutional environment facilitates related productivity improvements.
In his review of happiness research Will Wilkinson notes that several studies have found that economic freedom makes an important contribution to levels of subjective well-being. A recent study by Tomi Ovaska and Ryo Takashima found that economic freedom was statistically significant and that the relationship between economic freedom and well-being was more robust than that between per capita income and subjective well-being. The authors conclude:
"The results suggest that people unmistakably care about the degree to which the society where they live provides them opportunities and the freedom to undertake new projects, and make choices based on one's personal preferences" ('Economic policy and the level of self-perceived well-being: an international comparison', Journal of Socio-Economics, 35(2), 2006).

Welcome back to day 2 of my 5 days of Christmas gift guides. What did you think about yesterday's guide? Today is all about beauty and I found a few goodies for you. Without further ado, let's get into the beauty Christmas 2018 gift guide.
Oh hello, beauties! How are you coping with your first day back after such a long break? It's a struggle! Hopefully, today's post will perk you up a little bit, especially if you're a skincare junkie like me. If you read my last post (here) you would have seen that I went to Barcelona for my birthday. I decided to take the travel sized Caudalie products I bought last Christmas (here). So let's get into my thoughts of travelling with Caudalie.


I'm a new member and Im hoping Im posting in the right spot.
My husband and I both have (2) 97 Honda Accords. We are modifying everything ourselves from the inside out.
We need to paint the car interior (dash,door panels, etc.) I need to know the best paint to use. We've used duplicolor vinyl and fabric in black on the door panels but we cant find a baby blue and a hot pink color in the duplicolor brand. Does anyone know of anyone that carries these colors for vinyl and fabric? Thanks for reading.

PAINT (or) NOT TO PAINT????
What paint to use to paint rims?


Southeast Asian taxi on demand service GrabTaxi is preparing to introduce cashless payments in order to compete with Uber's credit card funded service.
GrabTaxi will start allowing cashless payments via credit card within the next couple months, TechCrunch reported, but will still allow customers to pay in cash too. The cashless payments option will be gradually rolled out for beta testing, starting in March in Singapore.
GrabTaxi has previously integrated with DBS PayLah to allow its customers in Singapore to pay with a mobile wallet.
GrabTaxi was launched in Malaysia, allowing customers in Southeast Asian markets to book regular taxis and pay using cash. But the company made several changes to its services to compete more directly with Uber, launching GrabCar, a limo service reminiscent of Uber Black, in May 2014.
GrabTaxi has now become Uber's biggest rival in Asia thanks to a series of big investments, raising $340 million in funding from investors in 2014 including $250 million from main backer SoftBank.
Uber has largely restricted its options to credit card payments, and has yet to add alternatives to cater for areas with low credit card penetration, other than the integration of Paytm in India. This move, however, was forced by Reserve Bank of India regulations that require a two-step authentication process for credit card payments, which Uber's process bypasses.
GrabTaxi is also facing competition from Hailo in Singapore and Japan, along with Easy Taxi, backed by Rocket Internet.

The peculiarity of carp fishing is that it is kept around the clock. The carp fishing is often much better at night than during the day, and the likelihood of catching trophy species at a time when everything calms down and subsides significantly increases.
Therefore, night fishing is an essential part of carp fishing. At the same time fishing, carp at night dramatically complicates the usual actions of the fishermen which in the light of day are produced automatically and do not cause difficulties. To reduce the problems created by darkness to a minimum level it is necessary to prepare correctly for night fishing.
First of all, it is necessary to carefully consider the routes of your movement during the night fishing. And ensure that there are no obstacles on the way from the tent to the rods, from the rods to the place where you are supposed to fish, from this place to the carp mat, from the stand with the rods to the mounting table on which it is necessary to change leashes, nozzles, etc.
It is a vital element in preparation for carp fishing at night, as adrenaline in the blood after a night wake. Combined with blunted reflexes after a sudden awakening and darkness can be a lousy partner. With a very high probability, you do not notice the obstacles running out of the tent to the rod or carrying the trophy after a long struggle to the carp mat, which can lead to a severe injury, the destruction of expensive gear and other troubles capable of hopelessly spoiling fishing.
At night, it is especially important that any equipment that may be required in the process of fishing should be in strictly defined places. It will help, first, to quickly find the right thing, and secondly, to avoid breaking, for example, the expensive carbon fibre, which will undoubtedly happen if you step on it in the dark.
The success of carp fishing in many ways depends on the right organisation of illumination for the vital camp areas.
past the fishing zone with impunity. You can make the moving around the campsite in the dark easier by placing the flashlights at critical points. In the garden departments of building supermarkets, kits of such lanterns cost a penny.
To make the performance of a variety of activities inside the shelter easier to arrange to light inside the tent. The easiest way to do this is with the help of individual lamps, which are suspended in the upper part of the shelter with the help of hooks or magnetic fasteners. It is very convenient if such a light automatically turns on after biting and is controlled by remote control. With the help of unique lamps on clothespins, it is possible to arrange additional local lighting for the mounting table.
One of the most critical elements of the equipment for night fishing is personal flashlights, which leave hands free. Such devices are attached either directly to the head with the help of band gum (headlights), or on the cap of the baseball cap (with the help of plastic clips).
Models for baseball caps are very light, but since they are with rare exception supplied from very compact batteries, they do not work for a long time from one set. Also, during the cold night, you feel not entirely comfortable in the baseball cap.
Headlamps are structurally monoblock and two-block. In two-block models, the batteries are placed in a separate block which is attached to the back of the head. Walking in such a flashlight is very convenient because its mass is symmetrically distributed on the head. But for specific conditions of carp fishing, these lights are not very suitable.
Firstly, sitting in a chair with a high back, when trying to tilt the head back the battery pack very unpleasantly presses on the end of the head.
Secondly, waiting for a bite often falls asleep without removing the flashlight; In this case, the block attached to the back of the neck prevents sleep on the back. Therefore, the best choice, in my opinion, is a lightweight monoblock headlamp flashlight.
Carp, seeing the light of the lantern, often make the last effort with a few desperate attempts to get rid of the hook, which often are successful. It is better to use a flashlight with a red light in the final stage of carving; the carp behaves much more calmly in this case. Especially convenient are flashlights in which the red light is turned on not by repeated pressing of the button, but with the help of a quickly lowered filter. If you are not used to sleeping in a flashlight, keep it in a particular organiser, fastened to the frame of the clamshell, then the torch will always be in hand, and you won't accidentally step on it.
The main advantage of night fishing is that at this time carp, unusually large, eat more boldly than in the daytime, and often comes closer to the shore. Cases of fishing night trophies are often several tens of meters from the coast. Therefore, it is necessary to observe silence at all times and try not to shine lanterns on the water without extreme necessity.
For night fishing it is possible to prepare in advance a particular point located in a promising place of the coastal zone (both from its own and from the opposite shore). It is necessary to feed the night fishing zone with such noisy means of delivery of bait, like balls and rockets, in advance, so as not to violate night silence. In the dark, it is better to feed with almost noiseless tools, such as a cobra-tube and a slingshot (if the use of the latter is allowed with the distance to fish).
It should be borne in mind that the preferences of fish can drastically change during the day. It is partly due to a change in the activity of digestive carp ferments. At some period of the day, ferments that break down proteins are more active, in some – splitting carbohydrates. Also, the bloodworm and other organisms that form the basis of the natural diet of carp, are also prone to day rhythms, which also affects fish nutrition.
Therefore, the nozzle, which worked flawlessly during the day, at night can completely lose its effectiveness. If this happens, try changing the nose to the opposite (sweet to fish, and vice versa). Carp fishing at night can be very exciting and, with the proper approach to it, it can give you many pleasant minutes and joy from owning a trophy.


We all know that refusing a host's acts of generosity is not an easy feat to accomplish and often times requires certain bargaining and stealth skills. And while some are subdued into unwillingly accepting the 'bribe', others find ways to leave it behind. Well, this story is an excellent proof that things don't always go as planned.
Last month, Tumblr user Gabrielle shared a story about going back home to visit her family. While home, her mother told her about their weekly get-together with other friends and that's when the interesting stuff comes into play. Apparently, one of the friends who was hosting the meeting, Martha, bought personalized snacks for everyone attending, including Gabrielle's mom. To return the favor, the mother tried to hand Martha a $20 bill, but was promptly refused. Thinking she's be clever, the mother left the money behind, on a counter and takes the remaining snacks. Well, Gabrielle soon learned that Martha was more than aware of everything and trying to get back at her friend, did the most passive aggressive thing a hostess could do. Later, Gabrielle revealed that in the end she kept the money as she had already left for university and there was no way to return it. As for the payback? " It got resolved by my mother buying Martha a $20 bottle of wine and giving it to her as she was about to go into her house so that she couldn't refuse it" Gabrielle told Bored Panda. Scroll down to read the full story below and tell us if you think she did the right thing or not.

I thought it was going to be a mean story. That was sweet. You guys need to look up the term Passive Aggressive.

LUCIO FIORENTINO vs. PROBATE COURT & another. CARMEN FERNANDEZ vs. GUILLERMO FERNANDEZ.
binding on us. United States ex rel. Lawrence v. Woods, 432 F. 2d 1072 (7th Cir. 1970), cert. den. sub nom. Lawrence v. Woods, 402 U.S. 983 (1971).
the Probate Court for Suffolk County. Confronted with the libellant's challenge to the constitutionality of the two-year residence requirement, the probate judge reported the case to the Appeals Court. [Note 6] The case is before us on direct appellate review. G. L. c. 211A, Section 12, inserted by St. 1972, c. 740, Section 1.
a marriage previously existing in the Commonwealth.
These statutory restrictions on the divorce powers of Massachusetts courts were presumably intended to prevent the bringing of migratory causes of action in Massachusetts courts and to ensure the validity (i.e., full faith and credit in other jurisdictions) of the decrees of Massachusetts courts against collateral attack by limiting proceedings in divorce actions to situations where the Commonwealth has some substantial connection with the dispute being adjudicated. In the typical case these interests are served by the court's refusing to proceed unless it has personal jurisdiction over both parties to a dispute (in personam jurisdiction) or it has jurisdiction over the thing, or res, that is the subject of a dispute (in rem jurisdiction). Jurisdiction over causes of action for divorce, however, is strictly neither in personam nor in rem. Williams v. North Carolina, 317 U.S. 287, 297 (1942). "Under our system of law, judicial power to grant a divorce -- jurisdiction, strictly speaking -- is founded on domicil." Williams v. North Carolina, 325 U.S. 226, 229 (1945). See Shaw v. Shaw, 98 Mass. 158 (1867). Thus, it is established that State courts may exercise divorce jurisdiction based solely on the domicil [Note 7] of the libellant even if the libellee neither appears nor is personally served and even though the parties never resided as husband and wife in the forum State. Williams v. North Carolina, 317 U.S. 287, 298-299 (1942). In such a case, however, it is essential that the libellant's claim to domiciliary status in the forum State be a legitimate one; otherwise, the court's power to dissolve the marriage is a mere chimera vulnerable to collateral attack in another jurisdiction. Williams v. North Carolina, 325 U.S. 226 (1945). Andrews v. Andrews, 188 U.S. 14 (1903). Cohen v. Cohen, 319 Mass. 31 (1946).
It may be because jurisdiction founded solely on the libellant's domicil was thought to be so fragile that the Legislature has imposed the two-year residence requirement of G. L. c. 208, Section 5. In effect, however, Section 5 creates an irrebuttable presumption that a divorce libellant is not a domiciliary of Massachusetts until he or she has resided in the Commonwealth for at least two years. Such a presumption surely serves to protect the divorce courts of Massachusetts from actions based on fraudulent claims of domicil by temporary residents. The present libellants insist, however, that it also operates to deprive domiciliaries such as themselves, [Note 8] namely, those who have resided here for less than two years, of their constitutional rights of due process and equal protection. [Note 9] We hold that the two-year residence requirement does work a deprivation of equal protection in these cases and, therefore, that it was unconstitutional to bar these libellants from prosecuting their divorce libels solely on the ground that they were not two-year residents of Massachusetts.
least one year and in the county of registration for three months. Because those durational residence requirements both penalized persons on the basis of recent travel and also denied a fundamental political right (voting), the court held that they could not stand absent a showing by the State that it had a compelling interest in imposing the requirement. Likewise, in the cases before us the two-year residence requirement penalizes persons merely because they have recently traveled interstate. [Note 10] In addition, the benefit withheld by the requirement (i.e., access to the divorce courts) is one that merits constitutional protection. See Boddie v. Connecticut, 401 U.S. 371 (1971). Therefore, as was said in the Dunn case, "[W]hether we look to the benefit withheld by the classification . . . or the basis for the classification . . . we conclude that the State must show a substantial and compelling reason for imposing durational residence requirements." 405 U.S. at 335 (1972).
also that the classification be precisely tailored to achieve its legitimate objective and that there be no alternative, less burdensome, means to achieve the State's goal. Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. at 343 (1972). Memorial Hosp. v. Maricopa County, 415 U.S. 250, 268 (1974). The issue, therefore, comes down to this: Is the durational residence requirement the least drastic means by which the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth's divorce courts may be protected from fraud? We hold that it is not.
our Probate and Superior Courts are incapable of making proper determinations of domicil in divorce cases is to argue that they are incapable of performing the functions of their offices, namely, finding the facts and applying the law. We see no reason to arrive at such a conclusion.
residence requirements. For example, the statutes in several situations require a determination whether the parties ever "lived together as husband and wife in this commonwealth." This court has consistently construed that provision as requiring a showing that the parties were domiciled here as husband and wife. Winans v. Winans, 205 Mass. 388, 393 (1910). Field v. Field, 236 Mass. 256 (1920). Thus, to determine whether jurisdiction is proper on the ground that the parties lived here as husband and wife, a judge must make a determination of domicil without reliance on a durational residence requirement. Likewise, in so far as the words "lived" in the final clause of Section 4 and "resident" in Section 5 are construed to require domicil rather than mere residence, [Note 15] to that extent the Legislature has declared that judges are capable of making case-by-case determinations of domicil. Such determinations become no more difficult just because domicil of the libellant is the sole connection between Massachusetts and the marriage, as in the cases before us.
unlikely that the nonresident could be located for notice purposes. [Note 16] Second, there is no substantial justification for the assertion that the Commonwealth's "interest" in a resident somehow increases in proportion to the length of residence. Absent some other valid basis for classification, the Commonwealth's obligation is to treat all residents alike, regardless of length of residence. Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330 (1972).
pregnancy). [Note 17] Because the statutory presumption now before us infringes on certain constitutionally protected interests of divorce libellants (see discussion below), and because that presumption is "neither `necessarily nor universally true,'" Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v. LaFleur, supra, at 646, it may be that the two-year residence requirement is unconstitutional under the Supreme Court's due process analysis of irrebuttable presumptions. Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v. LaFleur, supra.
G. L. c. 208, Sections 4 and 5, at the very least, is unconstitutional as violative of the Equal Protection Clause. A durational residence requirement is simply too imprecise a means for accomplishing the goal of restricting Massachusetts divorces to legitimate Massachusetts domiciliaries. [Note 18] In addition, there is available the more precise, less burdensome alternative of case-by-case judicial determination of domicil. Given the certainty that the present system bars legitimate domiciliaries access to our divorce courts, we hold that the harm thus caused outweighs any harm which might result from the speculative possibility of fraudulent claims to domicil. The libellants in the cases now before us should be permitted to prove the legitimacy of their assertions of Massachusetts domicil without having to wait out an arbitrary two-year period as required by the offending statute.
we would ordinarily agree with the majority that we should declare the rights of the parties. See Karchmar v. Worcester, 364 Mass. 124, 136 (1973). In this case, however, we are adjudicating a difficult and important Federal constitutional question on which other courts have divided and which the Supreme Court of the United States will doubtless soon resolve (see fn. 2 to the majority opinion). In such a situation we should not rush to make a constitutional decision which cannot finally resolve the question. See First Natl. Bank v. Attorney Gen. 362 Mass. 570, 596 (1972) (concurring opinion of Quirico, J.).
constitutionally permissible for the Legislature to determine that the durational residence requirement imposed on the libellants in these cases by G. L. c. 208, Sections 4 and 5, is necessary to protect State interests of the most compelling nature. Therefore we must respectfully dissent from the decision and opinion of the court.
415 U.S. 250, 258-259 (1974). But in our view this does not end the inquiry. The Supreme Court has clearly held that durational residence requirements need not be offensive to the Constitution in every case. Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U.S. 618, 638, n. 21 (1969). Starns v. Malkerson, 401 U.S. 985 (1971), affg. without opinion 326 F. Supp. 234 (D. Miss. 1970). Vlandis v. Kline, 412 U.S. 441, 452-453, n. 9 (1973). Sturgis v. Washington, 414 U.S. 1057 (1973), affg. without opinion 368 F. Supp. 38 (W. D. Wash. 1973). Memorial Hosp. v. Maricopa County, 415 U.S. 250, 256 (1974). Although it is not clear in these cases whether or not the court found a significant "penalty" inherent in the restriction, Memorial Hosp. v. Maricopa County, supra at 257-259, the court has made it plain that even such a penalty may be permissible if necessary to promote a compelling State interest. See, e.g., id. at 258; Shapiro v. Thompson, supra, at 634; Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330, 341-343 (1972).
be sustained "unless the State can demonstrate that such laws are `necessary to promote a compelling governmental interest.'" Dunn v. Blumstein, supra, at 342. Taking the court at its word and finding such a necessity here, we would uphold the statute. See Shiffman v. Askew, 359 F. Supp. 1225, 1229 (M. D. Fla. 1973).
such as that provided by G. L. c. 208, Sections 4 and 5. These sections effectively reinforce the critical State objective of restricting the Massachusetts Probate Courts to divorce by bona fide domiciliaries. See Shiffman v. Askew, supra, at 1231-1232. By so doing, they manifest the Commonwealth's concern for comity by refusing to adjudicate matters which are more properly left to the law of other jurisdictions. They also make it more certain that Massachusetts decrees will be respected in other jurisdictions which could refuse them effect on the basis of improper domicil. Williams v. North Carolina, 325 U.S. 226, 239 (1945).
apparent that the extensive litany of factors bearing on domicil which the majority would have probate judges investigate is utterly inadequate to deter or discover the possible fraud of those who perceive so much at stake in a unique episode in their lives.
domiciliary intent. What the majority do not consider, however, is that the risk of such deceit is considerably reduced in the former cases. There is no doubt a greater reluctance to swear falsely to facts which are already false than to some uncertain future intent or state of mind. Moreover, in doubtful cases the fact of continuous residence for the required period may more easily be proved or disproved than the domiciliary intent evidenced only by sworn statements and easily acquired "objective" indicia. By requiring two years of residence in addition, the Legislature has adopted a test which most effectively secures the Commonwealth's interest in granting divorces only to bona fide domiciliaries. The statute does not, and cannot, operate with complete perfection, including all legitimate domiciliaries and excluding only those seeking migratory divorces. But no classification can sustain that burden, and this should not automatically disqualify it under the strict constitutional test applied. That test does "not have the precision of mathematical formulas" but "emphasize[s] a matter of degree." Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330, 342-343 (1972). It is for the Legislature to determine the least restrictive means which are reasonably adapted to the protection of the vital State interest involved.
change. [Note Dissent-3] Many States are currently undergoing a re‰xamination of their substantive divorce laws and a number have adopted the concept of "no-fault" divorce. See, e.g., Fla. Sts. Section 61.052 added by Laws 1971, c. 71-241, Section 7; Iowa Code (1966) Section 598.5, added by Acts of 1970, c. 1266, Section 6. The majority would have Massachusetts protect its compelling interest in assuring the proper domicil of parties in divorce actions by assuming that its substantive law of divorce cannot be liberalized. It is competent, however, for the Legislature to determine that the current mechanism of requiring continued residence in specified cases is far more appropriate and that it is compatible with any grounds for divorce the Legislature may hereafter formulate.
The present application of the statute also serves the distinct State interest in assuring justice to litigants. These cases suggest the hardship and possible injustice which may result from an exercise of divorce jurisdiction on the basis of domicil without other safeguards. In the Fiorentino case the libellee wife continues to reside in New York with the two children of the parties, and the husband has been ordered to pay $50 a week for their support. The record discloses no personal service on the wife, no actual notice to her, no appearance on her behalf in the present proceeding, and only notice "by certified mail return receipt requested"
in the prior separate support proceeding. In the Fernandez case the record shows that the libellee husband, a resident of Puerto Rico, was served by "publication and registered mail," and a return receipt indicates that he had actual notice. In neither case is there any showing that the libellee has the means to participate in judicial proceedings in Massachusetts.
appropriate for legislative rather than judicial determination. It cannot be said that a two-year period is excessive, much less that it is irrational or invidious. Compare Boddie v. Connecticut, 401 U.S. 371, 388-389 (1971) (concurring opinion of Brennan, J.).

Imagine a world with no internet news. For the Baby Boom generation that's not impossible. We grew up reading newspapers and watching TV sets that offered us trusted news anchors like Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw. We typed on typewriters bearing single sheets of paper, not keyboards attached to computer screens and the world, and yet the internet is now such an entrenched part of our daily lives that it sometimes seems like it's always been this way. The speed of technology fogs our memories even if the technology itself never forgets–unless it crashes. And yet some things don't change. We hunger for news. People have always hungered for news.
In 1870, retired Army Captain Jefferson Kidd makes a modest living traveling through North Texas giving readings from big city newspapers published in America and abroad. His horse takes him from town to town. He posts flyers at each new stop, rents one large space for a night, and listens to the cha-ching of dimes in an empty paint can–the cost of entry for a person hungry for news of the world. Sizing up his audience Kidd chooses his news stories with care, ever alert for trouble. Tensions still run high during post-Civil War Reconstruction.
News of the World by Paulette Jiles is a slender historical novel, which sounds like an oxymoron. Ever read an historical that's short? Nevertheless, this one is and it's the best of time machines, transporting the reader back to a period when Texas–our 28th state–was still very much a dangerous frontier. The novel won't arrive in bookstores until October, but I was fortunate to receive an advance copy with no strings attached. I loved it enough to write this post.
And so the adventure begins. Four years earlier a band of Kiowa Indians had killed Johanna's parents and little sister in a raid but had taken her away to live with them. Now she's forgotten how to speak English, acts more like a wild animal, and yearns for the Indian family she left behind. Somehow she and the 70-year-old Captain must learn to trust one another while battling the harsh terrain and a series of bad guys who want to rob, abduct or kill them.
The author based Captain Kidd on a real person, a news reader who travelled the Texas towns. Johanna's story–kidnapped by Indians who brutally murdered her family–was not uncommon back then. Nor was her longing to go back to her Indian family after her rescue/return to "civilization." That's explained within the context of the novel and in an afterward Note by the author. If you want to read a true account of a Texas girl kidnapped by Indians–following a particularly brutal massacre–there are several books about Cynthia Parker, who gave birth to an Indian son, Quanah, who later became the last and greatest chief of the Comanche. (I've read Empire of the Summer Moon by S.G. Gwynne.) Cynthia was miserable after her rescue. Eventually, weakened by refusing to eat, she died of influenza while still in her 40s. Today Cynthia's story is being replayed in a different way: ISIS and Boco Haram soldiers taking girls as brides and/or by force. When rescued, it seems the majority of them don't wish to go back.
Speaking of war, News of the World made me think about that, too. Captain Kidd has fought in two wars (the War of 1812) and the Mexican-American War (1846-48) and lived through a third, the Civil War (1861-65). How fortunate, I thought, that times for me have been different. And yet the U.S. has waged war throughout the course of my life so far. I was a baby/kid during the Vietnam War, and I watched from afar as the first President Bush sent troops into Kuwait to drive out the Iraqi forces. But then the Terror War hit home on 9/11, and we've been at war ever since. Against Iraq, against Al-Quaeda, against ISIS.

Q: Problem creating an in memory db with hibernate and dbunit maven plugins I am trying to create create and populate in memory a hsql db schema using hibernate3-maven-plugin and dbunit-maven-plugin maven plugins.
I managed to do it to a file, but no to memory. the hibernate plugin does its work without complaining, but once hibernate plugin is finished, dbunit complains about the db schema, it looks as it is not there any more. As I said, I had this working perfectly with a hsql db in a file, but did not manage to do it in memory.
This is the hibernate plugin code:

¿Does any one have any idea?
Thanks a lot

A: The URL indicates the database should be shutdown when the last connection is closed. This works for file databases (although it may not be necessary) but will close and discard a memory database. Change the URL as follows:
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:hsqldb:mem:mytestdb;shutdown=false

and this one
<url>jdbc:hsqldb:mem:mytestdb;shutdown=false</url>

A: I was also researching a related problem. It appears that the in-memory schema does not persist across sessions: http://vageeshhoskere.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/unit-test-with-junit-for-hibernate-using-hsqldb-in-memory/
So, either you can do what needs to be done in a single session (which is rather limiting), or attempt the file version of hsqldb

Trinity has a fascinating history that dates back to 1891 when we were founded thanks to the generosity and foresight of the Hoare banking family. Here's a snapshot of just a few of the key moments in our 125+ year history.
Read about the history of our gardens
The Duchess of Cornwall visits the hospice to officially mark the beginning of our 125th year.
Trinity is granted Royal Trinity Hospice name by the Cabinet Office, reflecting the long patronage and association with the Royal Family. Part of our building, The Elms at No. 29, is converted into six flats providing valuable income for the hospice.
Our Royal Patron HRH The Duchess of Cornwall makes a private visit to see staff and patients
Trinity celebrates its 120th anniversary. Mulberry Place, a light-filled room overlooking the Trinity gardens opens, to host outpatient groups.
A landmark in Trinity's history was reached when our new 28-bed, purpose-built inpatient unit opens its doors.
Our Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cornwall visits.
Trinity celebrates its centenary. The Duchess of York visits.
At the forefront of good practice, Trinity establishes education services throughout the 1980s and opens a day centre.
The Queen Mother, our Royal Patron for a remarkable 76 years, plants a copper beech that continues to give pleasure today.
The first major refurbishment includes restoration of our two-acre gardens. In 1980 Trinity Hospice takes on its current name and appoints a full-time medical director.
Trinity's Council, in place since the 1900s, takes over management and runs the hospice as a secular, independent establishment.
HRH Princess Alice lays the foundation stone for St Michael's Ward.
Records show that in 1933, the hospice was "in constant occupation". It was evacuated to Lindfield during World War II and returned to Clapham in 1946. The photograph below shows the Elizabeth Clark Ward in 1937.
29 Clapham Common Northside is purchased in 1899 and number 30 in 1907; we occupy the same buildings today.
Patients are cared for by the Sisters of St James' Servants of the Poor at the Chase in Clapham. In 1896 The Sisters of St Margaret's of East Grinstead take over.
The Hostel of God, later to be known as Trinity Hospice, was founded. We have Colonel William Hoare of the famous banking family to thank for this act of foresight. He gave £1,000 of the £2,000 needed and raised the remainder from an appeal in the Times newspaper on Christmas day to provide a home "for the man who is neither curable nor incurable but simply dying".

Edward Mooney House, the oldest surviving raw house in New York City.
The oldest surviving raw house in New York City, Edward Mooney House, is located at the corner of Bowery and Pell in Chinatown. It was built sometime between 1785 ( two years after the British evacuation of the City) and 1789, the year George Washington was inaugurated as first President of the United States and New York City became the first Capital of the nation.
The land where the house was built belonged to James Delancey, colonial politician and loyalist. James Delancey was born in a house built by his grandfather, Stephen De Lancey. This house later became famous and known as Fraunces Tavern. James De Lancey assembled the largest and most select stud and stable of running horses in the colony if not the whole country. He was said to have been the "Father of the New York Turf" . James De Lancey built himself a mansion north of Broadway and Thames Street. East and West De Lancey Farms ran from the Bowery, facing the Bayard Estates, to the East River (...)
When the British lost the war, Delancey's assets were seized. And Mr. Mooney bought the land from the forfeiture of James Delancey.
Edward Mooney was a prominent wholesale meat purveyor. He was an important figure in the wholesale meat business in New York and representative at the City's butchers in the Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen.
Mooney lived in the house until his death in 1800. In the early 1900s this was Barney Flynn's saloon. It was headquarters of Chuck Connors, a local character and self-described "Mayor of Chinatown," who led staged-to-shock slumming tours through Bowery dives and opium dens. Connors also helped future songwriter Irving Berlin get a singing waiter job on Pell Street.
A couple, Chin Po and Diana Liu bought the building in 1991 and sold the property in January 2013 for almost $5.4 million, according to city records.

France: Public consultation on wireless local access in the 3,4-3,8 GHz band
France	Last modified: June 29, 2004	Published: June 29, 2004
The French regulatory authority ART has today published a consultation document, containing its proposals, as well as 45 questions, relating to the granting of frequencies for new networks making use of equipment operating according to the IEEE 802.16 series and ETSI HiperMAN standards. These emerging standards are supported by the WiMAX forum, and the ART acknowledges this fact.
This consultation follows the ART's statement of 13 May 2004, which constituted a decision to freeze the 'region-by-region, first-come-first-served' frequency assignment system in the 3,5 GHz band. The freeze was motivated by the increasing number of expressions of interest the ART has been receiving since February 2004.
One wireless local access operator (Altitude Télécom) is currently active in the 3,4–3,6 GHz band, and has been granted 15 MHz duplex. Another 15 MHz duplex in the same band is free (the frequencies were returned to the regulatory authority by failed wireless local loop operators). The 3,6–3,8 GHz band is currently used locally for point-to-point audiovisual signal transport, not for wireless local access.
In essence, the ART's proposals are as follows:
"Very local" frequency assignments (category 2 of the consultation document*, concerning projects aiming at covering, as a maximum, one or two towns in low-density areas) should, according to the ART, be non-problematic in the 3,6–3,8 GHz band, insofar as appropriate frequency co-ordination occurs. In addition, the 3,6–3,8 GHz band could be wholly or partially vacated by its current users, insofar as proper technical and financial conditions can be agreed. Therefore, the ART concludes that frequencies are unlikely to be scarce in the short term and that a 'first-come-first-served' frequency assignment system (with associated conditions) seems viable for projects aiming at covering small areas in low-density areas. Frequencies could be assigned in 1,75 MHz channels, with a maximum of 7 MHz per operator in a given area.
As regards the larger projects (categories 1a and 1b of the consultation document*), the ART does not make tangible proposals, but asks many questions. It does state that category 1a) and 1b) projects should operate in the 15 MHz duplex which is available in the 3,4–3,6 GHz band, and that a mechanism is needed to select the operators that will be granted the right to use these frequencies. The key question put up for consultation by the ART is how to define the geographical areas (by Département, by Région, other categorisations?), and hence the maximum number of operators and the frequency assignment system. The ART expresses its view that granting less than 15 MHz duplex to a given operator may be problematic, especially for the larger projects, but asks interested parties to comment on the minimum amount of spectrum necessary for their projects.
The ART also invites comments as to whether a 'beauty contest' or an auction would be the preferable approach to assign the frequencies for the category 1a and 1b projects, and which terms and conditions should be attached to right to use frequencies, including in terms of minimum geographic coverage and minimum time for the network to 'go live'. It also floats the idea of requiring open network access (without further specifying exactly what this would entail), and asks interested parties to comment on this.
The consultation document also briefly addresses frequency trading across the 3,4-3,8 GHz band, which will be allowed (under strict conditions) once the new Law on electronic communications is published and the possible link with other frequency bands (substitutability or complementarity), in particular the 5470-5725 MHz band.
The deadline for responding to the ART consultation is 30 Sep 2004.
The full text (in French) of the ART consultation document can be accessed by clicking here. (an English language translation will be published by the ART)
(*) The categories put forward by the ART, which are themselves subject to consultation, are described in the second part of this news item.
The ART has categorised the expressions of interest it received, and is using that categorisation as the basis for its public consultation, as follows:
Category 1a): Large regional or multi-regional projects, put forward by telecommunications operators seeking to compete on the market for fixed broadband access services, in cities and in other relatively densely populated areas.
Category 1b): Medium-sized projects (often of the size of a French Département), put forward by operators and public sector entities, seeking to provide fixed broadband access in areas where broadband access is currently lacking.
Category 2): Local projects, put forward by municipalities or groups of municipalities, seeking to develop broadband access locally (one or two towns).
T-REGS note: French municipalities and groups of municipalities have just recently been allowed, under certain conditions, to become full-service telecommunications operators. This development, including a summary of the conditions, is discussed in our news item about the entry into force of the Law on confidence in the digital economy (LCEN).

Lucky is the kid with a doting aunt who has no children of her own.
Many North American aunts, either a blood relation to a child or simply a close family friend, spend more than $500 annually on each kid in their lives, say researchers.
Yes, these generous women now have their own acronym — Professional Aunt No Kids (PANKs). And a website, savvyauntie.com, a place for child-less but child-loving females to exchange ideas, get advice and recognition.
Notkin, 43, who has six nieces and nephews and a background in digital marketing, launched Savvy Auntie — what she calls "a multiplatform lifestyle brand" — in 2008. The website now has 10,000 members, 82,000 Facebook fans and 20,000 Twitter followers, she says.
"An aunt wants to feel appreciated, validated for the important role she plays in a child's life," says Notkin, a Montrealer who lives in New York City. A woman may not be a mother, she points out, but she can still be maternal.
The kidless auntie — a marketer's delight — is no rare breed. An estimated one in five women across North America qualifies as a PANK, according to the market research study done by Notkin and the global public relations firm Weber Shandwick and KRC Research.
The two older nieces, now 13 and 15, come for sleepovers and go out with Simons to dinners and movies and for clothes shopping. She estimates she spends more than $500 a year on each kid.
For the study, 2,000 women over the age of 18 across North America were surveyed, 100 of them in Canada. Among the Canadians, 26 were PANKs.
While a statistically tiny number, the sample does indicate Canadian tendencies, explain the researchers. The aunties here look much like their American counterparts — except for their wallets.
The North American auntie on average shells out $387 per child per year, with 76 per cent reporting they spend more than $500. On average, the Canadian PANK plunks down $960 per child per year, says Liz Rizzo, senior vice president research at Weber Shandwick.
The Canadian aunties tended to have higher incomes — 46 per cent made $50,000 or more a year — while 34 per cent across North America earned that much, explains Rizzo. Also fewer Canadians said their spending habits were affected by the recent economic crisis.
Aside from their credit cards, PANKs can be precious: 73 per cent of the Canadian women said the kids in their lives view them as role models.
But with PANKs so paramount, what about uncles?

Roberts Brothers Cash In Big On Alamosa Deal
by Glenn Townes June 1, 2006 December 1, 2008 221
Siblings Michael Roberts Sr. and Steven Roberts Sr., owners of Roberts Cos., based in St. Louis, netted more than $100 million on the sale of their shares in Alamosa Holdings Inc. the nation's largest Sprint PCS affiliate, in February.
Initially, the brothers were among Alamosa's largest shareholders, arising out of a 2001 merger between Alamosa and Roberts Wireless Co. This merger yielded the Roberts brothers an 11% stake in publicly held Alamosa-or 11.4 million shares of stock worth more than $380 million at the time.
After five years of gradually liquidating portions of their holdings, the Roberts brothers sold the balance of their shares at $18.75, owing to a friendly takeover by Sprint Nextel. The total proceeds-roughly $112.5 million-will allow the family-owned business "to make even more opportunistic deals," according to Michael Roberts Sr., chairman and chief executive of the company. "My brother and I plan to increase the value of our family assets to more than a billion dollars by 2008."
Roberts says funds acquired from the sale have been used to purchase upscale hotels across the country, including the first African American-owned luxury hotel and conference center in Atlanta, the Crowne Plaza Marietta/Atlanta, which they purchased and renovated for $9.1 million.
"In selling our wireless phone company, my brother and I are expanding our financial interests to include the hospitality industry," Roberts says. Due to recent forays into the industry by black businessmen such as former BET kingpin Bob Johnson, Roberts hopes African Americans will begin to realize the tremendous business opportunity that exists in the hospitality business.
Roberts says hotels were recently purchased in St. Louis; Tampa, Florida; and Houston in private/franchise deals. They will be managed separately from all of their other business interests.
"We also want to continue to grow our existing business entities," Roberts says, including their urban shopping centers, television stations, and Bahamas real estate investments.
The Roberts Cos. is a multifaceted enterprise containing a myriad of entrepreneurial endeavors, including a group of five hotels and conference centers, urban shopping centers, office buildings, residential developments, a management consulting firm, America's eighth largest broadcast and telecommunications tower company, and an aviation company.

All teams put together (are) trying their level best to locate missing persons," Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was quoted by ANI as saying. "NDRF teams have reached and are carrying out search operations," he added.
10:14 a.m. IST — A decades-old bridge on the Mumbai-Goa highway that linked the cities of Mahad and Poladpur collapsed in the Raigad district of Maharashtra around 2 a.m. on Wednesday due to heavy rain. No casualties have been reported yet, but two buses with 22 people on board are missing.
The overflowing of the Savitri river in Mahabaleshwar is being considered the reason behind the collapse of the bridge. According to eyewitnesses and initial reports, two cars and two buses that left from Ratnagiri are missing.
A National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team consisting of 50 personnel with four divers has been sent to the spot and rescue operations are under way.
"We rushed one NDRF team to the spot from Pune, team facing some difficulty in reaching due to heavy rains & traffic, will reach shortly. As per initial info some vehicles & people have been swept away. Our team is equipped with deep divers and life saving equipment. Our team will immediately carry out rescue operations as soon as it reaches," NDRF Director General OP Singh was quoted by ANI as saying.
The Indian Coast Guard has deployed Chetak helicopter to look for the missing vehicles. Several cars are also suspected to have been washed away into the river.
Raigad District Collector Sheetal Ugale has not received any report of any casualties, the Financial Express reported, but chances of the vehicles falling into the river are not being ruled out.
"There were 2 parallel bridges: one is a new bridge and one constructed during the British era. The old one got collapsed. The primary reason seems to be the high pressure caused due to flooding of river Savitri due to heavy rains in catchment of Mahabaleshwar. Traffic on highway is stopped.

Q: C# Перебор всех элементов многомерного массива Есть массив объектов, который я получаю при десериализации ответа от сервера (json), получается довольно много вложенностей, существует ли унифицированный способ(метод) перебрать все элементы данного массива, в данном случае мне нужно проверить все элементы на null.
Пример ответа от сервера:
{
  "regionList": [
    {
      "ord": 1,
      "subwayLines": [
        {
          "isn": 1477671903,
          "stations": [
            {
              "isn": 1477963903,
              "name": "str"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

A: Вы не можете ДОСТОВЕРНО проверить json ответ на наличие null в полях, т.к. поля содержащие null могут быть просто отброшены сериализатором и не попасть в json, а в структуре данных они есть.
Если вы не знаете структуру данных, то имхо, это плохая задача, но решается очень просто (на коленке с багами), через (Contains(": null") || Contains(":null")), если конечно это вхождение не внутри строки, но даже тогда вы по сути проверите json внутри json =)
Есть более надёжный вариант, искать JsonToken, как предложил aepot, но описывать не буду, т.к. я им не пользовался. Но опять-же если сериализатор отбросит - то это вам не поможет.
Единственно правильный вариант - знать модель и корректно десериализовать, а уже методами в модели проверять на null. Можно даже через рефлексию, чтобы не плодить методы для каждого класса.

Serving Hinesville, Georgia


I received a review unit from Google after its press event yesterday and think that it's a worthwhile device with enormous potential — particularly because it's simple enough to take on the likes of Airplay, Apple TV, Roku, and even blu-ray players.
Something that might interest users is the fact that Chromecast appears to have the ability for different media to be streamed to different devices. Just like with Sonos devices, I can elect to have a TNW video with Tim Ferriss stream on my living room TV and have Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video play on the TV in my bedroom — that is, if I have multiple Cast devices.

Doraemon Story of Seasons will get a Japan eShop demo, looks adorable
By John Friscia May 11, 2019
If you haven't heard, Doraemon Story of Seasons is coming to Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe in fall 2019. Meanwhile, the Japanese version comes out on June 13, and it will be receiving a demo on the Japanese eShop soon. Since the Switch isn't region-locked, all you'll have to do is set up a second, Japanese Nintendo account in order to access it.
While Europe will receive a physical release of Doraemon Story of Seasons, publisher Bandai Namco currently only plans for an eShop release for North America. [Insert disappointed trumpet sounds.] Regardless, the game looks stupidly beautiful with its hand-drawn visuals and rustic feel, so check out the trailer if you haven't yet.

If you've ever played Harvest Moon, then you know what to expect from a Story of Seasons game, because they're actually the same franchise. The name simply changed as a result of the Harvest Moon name being owned by Natsume. In turn, these games served as the inspiration for smash hit Stardew Valley.
Meanwhile, Doraemon is a venerated comedy franchise in Japan that will turn an extraordinary 50 years old this year. It's not nearly as well known internationally, but its eponymous blue robot cat is iconic. In Doraemon Story of Seasons, you will play as Doraemon's buddy, Noby, to revive a farm and engage in the usual farming shenanigans.
Doraemon Story of Seasons is an unexpected combo to be sure, but it's entirely welcome. Let us know if you plan on checking out that eShop demo. It hasn't been given a clear release date yet, but it's bound to be within the next few weeks.
