Q: Math in Java when precision is lost The below algorithm works to identify a factor of a small number but fails completely when using a large one such as 7534534523.0
double result = 7; // 7534534523.0;

double divisor = 1;

for (int i = 2; i < result; i++){

   double r = result / (double)i;

   if (Math.floor(r) == r){
      divisor = i;
      break;
   }
}

System.out.println(result + "/" + divisor + "=" + (result/divisor));

The number 7534534523.0 divided by 2 on a calculator can give a decimal part or round it (losing the 0.5). How can I perform such a check on large numbers? Do I have to use BigDecimal for this? Or is there another way?

A: If your goal is to represent a number with exactly n significant figures to the right of the decimal, BigDecimal is the class to use.

Immutable, arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers. A BigDecimal consists of an arbitrary precision integer unscaled value and a 32-bit integer scale. If zero or positive, the scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. If negative, the unscaled value of the number is multiplied by ten to the power of the negation of the scale. The value of the number represented by the BigDecimal is therefore (unscaledValue × 10-scale).

Additionally, you can have a better control over scale manipulation, rounding and format conversion.

A: I don't see what the problem is in your code. It works exactly like it should.
When I run your code I get this output:
7.534534523E9/77359.0=97397.0

That may have confused you, but its perfectly fine. It's just using scientific notation, but there is nothing wrong with that.
7.534534523E9 = 7.534534523 * 109 = 7,534,534,523
If you want to see it in normal notation, you can use System.out.format to print the result:
System.out.format("%.0f/%.0f=%.0f\n", result, divisor, result / divisor);

Shows:
7534534523/77359=97397

But you don't need double or BigDecimal to check if a number is divisible by another number. You can use the modulo operator on integral types to check if one number is divisible by another. As long as your numbers fit in a long, this works, otherwise you can move on to a BigInteger:
long result = 7534534523L;
long divisor = 1;
for (int i = 2; i < result; i++) {
    if (result % i == 0) {
        divisor = i;
        break;
    }
}
System.out.println(result + "/" + divisor + "=" + (result / divisor));

A: BigDecimal is the way to move ahead for preserving high precision in numbers.
DO NOT do not use constructor BigDecimal(double val) as the rounding is performed and the output is not always same. The same is mentioned in the implementation as well. According to it:

The results of this constructor can be somewhat unpredictable. One might assume that writing new BigDecimal(0.1) in Java creates a BigDecimal which is exactly equal to 0.1 (an unscaled value of 1, with a scale of 1), but it is actually equal to 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625. This is because 0.1 cannot be represented exactly as a double (or, for that matter, as a binary fraction of any finite length). Thus, the value that is being passed in to the constructor is not exactly equal to 0.1, appearances notwithstanding.

ALWAYS try to use constructor BigDecimal(String val) as it preserves precision and gives same output each time.

Michigan Park: A Newsletter-On-Your-Doorstep Community
Michigan Park
Compared to DC's suburban-like neighborhoods in upper Northwest, Michigan Park's vibe is notably more modest and a bit slower. With a physical newsletter, long-time residents and monasteries all around, the quiet atmosphere of the Northeast DC neighborhood feels like a step back to simpler times. However, those that live in the rarely-mentioned residential area need to be willing to live at a distance from retail, restaurants and mass transit.
Where Is Michigan Park?
For the purposes of this profile, UrbanTurf is covering both Michigan Park and the neighborhood next door, North Michigan Park. Those areas are roughly bounded by the District line to the east, Taylor Street and Michigan Avenue to the south, the railroad tracks and Puerto Rico Avenue to the west, and Galloway Street to the North. While the neighborhood feels set apart from the action in DC, it's not too far from Hyattsville.
Homogenous Housing Stock
While some are tempted to lump Michigan Park in with nearby Woodridge, Fort Lincoln and Riggs Park — neighborhoods full of bungalows, craftsmans and other rambling homes — Michigan Park actually has a different and very unified housing stock. The oak-lined streets are full of red, boxy, brick colonials. Michigan Park's homes are on the larger side, while North Michigan Park has smaller homes, some semi-detached. One exception to the homogeneity is Bunker Hill Road, according to real estate agent Laura Bowman Pimentel, which has a couple dozen gems in the mid-century modern style, with big windows, high ceilings and contemporary trimmings. Many were designed by prominent African-American architects like Lewis Giles and Robert Madison.
Brick colonials
In the past 12 months, homes in Michigan Park sold on average for $312,000, but the inventory of properties on the market, like the rest of the city, is fairly low. "Only 20 homes have sold in the past year, and only 10 single-family homes are currently on the market in the entire neighborhood," agent Kymber Menkiti said. "The majority of owners have occupied their homes for 20 or more years and have thoughtfully maintained and updated them over time."
As a result, it is not a neighborhood full of fixer-uppers. While North Michigan Park has a few distressed properties, most of the homes in Michigan Park are in move-in ready condition, although buyers may want to update the styling. "A lot in these homes often have the original Pepto-Bismol pink or mint green tiles," said Pimentel.
A Community Bound By a Newsletter
Dedra Owens moved to Michigan Park after spending 11 years in Logan Circle. The yard, ample closet space, finished basement and multiple bedrooms drew Owens to her current home, and the care with which the former owners maintained the house was appealing for sentimental reasons.
A larger home in Michigan Park
"They put so much love into taking care of the house," said Owens of the past owners, who raised their four children there. "It has its original hardwood floors, and the father made wooden valences for all the windows — I actually have them up in all my bedrooms. At the closing, the father and his daughters cried, not out of sadness, but because of all the wonderful memories they had here."
North Michigan Park
Predictably, Michigan Park has a very active civic association; a newsletter is distributed door-to-door on a monthly basis that provides community updates and even lets residents know who might be under the weather. For urbanites used to anonymity, the attention may come as a surprise. "Don't move here if you don't want to be part of a community," warns Owens, who appreciates the watchful eyes. "As a single woman, I feel very safe and know my neighbors keep a close eye on my house when I am traveling for work."
Sacred Spaces and a Rec Center
Contributing to Michigan's Park's quiet atmosphere are the religious institutions in and around the neighborhood. Saint Anselm's Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, sits on 40 acres of land within Michigan Park, and the Carmelite Sisters have an outpost in North Michigan Park. St. Anselm's Abbey School and the Washington Jesuit Academy are also in the neighborhood, and Howard University's School of the Divinity and the Mount St. Sepulchre Franciscan Monastery are just to the south.
North Michigan Park Recreation Center
The neighborhood recreational center is the one semi-public space in Michigan Park, although strangers are easily identifiable in the tight community. When UrbanTurf stopped by on a weekday afternoon, there were toddlers, grandparents and nannies making use of the jungle gym and other amusements. Like in most of the city, crime can be a problem here. Watchful neighbors help, but car thefts and muggings occur.
Retail Options: Zero
"You pretty much have to have a car here," said Pimentel. The Metro is a mile away and retail and restaurant options are almost non-existent. There is one strip mall on Michigan Avenue that has a handful of options, including a Dollar Tree, a market and Flip-It, the DC-born diner and bakery.
Nearby Brookland, just to the south of Michigan Avenue, offers an ever-increasing number of taverns, restaurants and activities. Some residents drive to Hyattsville, which is about ten minutes away, for groceries.
As Brookland continues to develop, Michigan Park residents will increasingly enjoy the close proximity to burgeoning retail. For home buyers who value a quiet, suburban atmosphere and don't mind driving, Michigan Park's brick colonials offer a still-affordable way to raise a family in the District.

Flip-It moved out of the shopping center over a year ago. It has been replaced by a nice Chinese restaurant. The latino supermarket called Pan-Am has been replaced by another called El Toro. I like going to the Dollar Tree at this shopping center. Most people shop across the DC line in Maryland.

Average rate on 30-year mortgage falls to 3.39 percent, near record low
A for-sale sign is posted in Lincolnwood, Ill. The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has slipped and stayed near its record low, a trend that's helped boost home sales and refinancing, Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday The Associated Press
The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage slipped this week and stayed near its record low, a trend that's helped boost home sales and refinancing.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan declined to 3.39 percent from 3.41 percent last week. Four weeks ago, the rate touched 3.36 percent, the lowest level on records dating to 1971.
The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage, often used for refinancing, fell to 2.70 percent. That's down from 2.72 percent last week and close to the record low of 2.66 percent reached two weeks ago.
The low rates have helped drive a modest housing recovery. Rates have fallen further since the Federal Reserve started buying mortgage bonds in September to try to encourage more borrowing and spending.
Home sales have increased from last year, and prices are rising more consistently in most areas. Builders are more confident and beginning work on more homes.
Lower rates have also persuaded more people to refinance. That typically leads to lower monthly mortgage payments and more spending.
In August, home prices rose in nearly all U.S. cities, and many of the markets that were hit hardest during the housing crisis are starting to show sustained gains, according to the latest Standard & Poor's/Case Shiller index. It was the third straight increase.
Still, the housing market has a long way to a full recovery. And many people are unable to take advantage of the low rates, either because they can't qualify for stricter lending rules or they lack the money to meet larger down payment requirements.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for 30-year loans was 0.7 point, unchanged from last week. The fee for 15-year loans ticked up to 0.7 point from 0.6.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage dipped to 2.58 percent from 2.59 percent. The fee for one-year adjustable rate loans remained at 0.4 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage edged down to 2.74 percent from 2.75 percent. The fee was unchanged at 0.6 point.

Look, human-types! My new house is finally finished. Writer-gurrl and her hubs added the last shingles to the roof today, and now it's all ready to move in. It even has carpet inside.
I'm not going to actually LIVE in there, of course. I live in the house, with writer-gurrl, and sleep on a big, soft pluffy dog bed next to her side of the bed. This is just my vacay home, kind of like an apartment to stay in if I happen to be caught outside in the rain or cold when writer-gurrl is out on some errand.
I'm really digging this new house. I like it so much, I may not even eat the carpet.


Master plans for the Hershey West End development are expected to be submitted to Derry Township officials this fall.
The 245-acre project is on Hershey Trust land south of Route 322 between Waltonville and Bullfrog Valley roads.
The Hershey Trust plans to submit the master plan for its West End development sometime this fall, Ken Gall, trust director of real estate, said Monday.
The mixed-use development is expected to include residential, retail, entertainment, hotel and office space. Housing could include single-family houses, townhouses, assisted living, apartments and age-restricted apartments.
Sketch plans for the project were presented last April and May to the township planning commission and supervisors. A public input session was held to gather suggestions from the community.
Gall said they are continuing to work on a sketch plan that was presented to Derry Township and the public last spring.
HUMMELSTOWN -- Residents packed out the rooms of the Cocoa Beanery tonight to review sketch plans, ask questions, and offer their opinions on a potential 230-acre village-style development being planned by The Hershey Trust.
"We will continue to work on taking that sketch plan and turning it into a master plan submission to the township," Gall said, including input received from officials and the public.
The first phase of the project is already under way or completed, which includes expansion of U-Gro, development of the Englewood Barn into a brewery and restaurant, the Hershey Center for Applied Research and Cocoa Beanery.
Chuck Emerick, Derry Township community development director, said the next step for the Trust is submission of a master plan, which will include preliminary and then final plans for phase two.
The sketch plan for Hershey West End shows a roundabout on Waltonville Road. Gall said whether that is built depend on decisions of the township and PennDOT. Emerick said traffic studies are being done.
The project is expected to take 10-15 years to complete.
"It's a large project. It's just beginning - it's going to take time," Gall said.

John Prine The Tree of Forgiveness LP
Brand/Label/Format: *Oh Boy Records LP*
Item Number: OBRLP35143
2019 Grammy Award Nominee:
• Best Americana Album
• Best American Roots Song: Knockin' On Your Screen Door
• Best American Roots Song: Summer's End
Americana Music Association Award:
• Artist of The Year (2018)
First New Record Of Original Material In Over A Decade!
Pressed at Quality Record Pressings!
Features Special Guests Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires!
The highly-anticipated album The Tree of Forgiveness is John Prine's first collection of new material since 2005's Grammy-winning Fair and Square. Rather than going out on a limb, Prine cultivated the themes that have brought international acclaim since the 1970s. For example, he can take a topic like loneliness and make it funny ("Knockin' on Your Screen Door") or heartbreaking ("Summers End"). Perfectly aligned with his quirkiest songs, "The Lonesome Friends of Science" makes its point through the characters he calls "those bastards in the white lab coats who experiment with mountain goats," as well as the discredited planet Pluto and the towering Vulcan statue in Birmingham, Alabama.
Prine teamed with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb to record in Nashville's historic Studio A, enlisting friends like Brandi Carlile (harmony vocals on tracks 2, 4 & 10), Jason Isbell (electric guitar on track 7, slide guitar & background vocals on tracks 9 & 10), and Amanda Shires (fiddle and background vocals on track 9, background vocals on track 10) to sing along. The songs are new, although some had waited to be finished for decades, like a co-write with Phil Spector called "God Only Knows." Another incomplete song, "I Have Met My Love Today," now celebrates the unexpected spark that leads to lifelong romance -- with a dash of youthful innocence. The musical arrangements may be simpler than on past efforts, yet his unique ability to distill complex emotions into everyday language remains fully intact. As he's done for years, Prine found inspiration in writing sessions with close friends like Roger Cook, Pat McLaughlin and Keith Sykes. "Egg and Daughter Nite, Lincoln, Nebraska, 1967 (Crazy Bone)" is a lighthearted look at a bygone era, while "Caravan of Fools" (written with McLaughlin and The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach) is a contemporary meditation on the weaknesses of powerful people. The poignant "No Ordinary Blue" wraps up a trilogy that encompasses 1991's "You Got Gold" and 2005's "Long Monday."
Prine won his first Grammy for the 1991 album The Missing Years, and he joined the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. The Grammy Hall of Fame inducted his 1971 self-titled debut album in 2014. Two years later he accepted the PEN New England's Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award. At the age of 70, he was named Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association in 2017. Naturally, The Tree of Forgiveness is rooted in that same observant songwriting that he's crafted throughout his career. "I kept saying when I was doing this album, it's going to be my last one," Prine admits with a grin. "But if things go really good with it, I can't see why I wouldn't do something else."
"The songwriter's first album of new music in 13 years is wise and economical. At 71, John Prine is a virtuoso at understatement, finding the joy in the mundane, and writing about what it means to be alive... Prine may be reflecting on the past and the future an awful lot, but this is not one of those albums where an old man ponders death. It can't be, because Prine has always done that, and he doesn't do it any more or less than usual. It's just a new album by John Prine, a humble but respectable one. If there hadn't been a 13 year absence of new John Prine songs, you couldn't even call it a return to form, because his form has never left him." - Pitchfork
"With producer Dave Cobb overseeing the sessions, The Tree of Forgiveness strikes a welcome balance between an informal guitar pull and a late-night meeting around the campfire where the volume may be low but the investment in the material is high. The Tree of Forgiveness never sounds forced, but Cobb and his crew have drawn out Prine in a way that uses his age as an asset, not a drawback. And while you can't ignore Prine's septuagenarian status on these recordings, the closer, 'When I Get to Heaven,' suggests he's given mortality plenty of thought and is totally at ease with it. The Tree of Forgiveness is autumnal John Prine, but it's also a potent reminder that his remarkable skills as a songwriter and his rough-hewn excellence as a singer haven't failed him yet." - AllMusic

Anglicare Victoria went through a due diligence process to find a unified communications solution that would best fit how they work. They also needed to ensure that the not-for-profit organisation was being fiscally smart: multiple employees spread out across the state over 35 sites, needing access to work remotely and not being tied to a desk, and requiring collaborative tools to help them be more efficient, and essentially, be better equipped to service the thousands of Victorian families and individuals they help every year.
For them, Skype for Business was the logical choice. And Halcyon Change Management was pivotal to the success of the five roll-outs that have already occurred, with 30 more sites waiting patiently in the wings.
Watch the IComm case study video to see all the benefits they've seen so far, and what they did to ensure they're seeing top adoption across the board.

Image of the Solar System planets. Top image shows the Terrestrial planets and the bottom image shows the Gas giants.
A planet is a large object such as Jupiter or Earth that orbits a star. Planets are smaller than stars, and they do not produce light.
Planets are shaped like a slightly squashed ball (called a spheroid). Objects that orbit planets are called satellites. A star and everything which orbits it are called a star system.
There are eight planets in our Solar System. Pluto used to be called a planet, but in August 2006, the International Astronomical Union decided it was a dwarf planet instead. There are four more known dwarf planets in the Solar System, Ceres, Makemake, Eris and Haumea.
The name "planet" is from the Greek word πλανήτης (planetes), meaning "wanderers", or "things that move". Until the 1990s, people only knew of those in the Solar System. As of June 2017, we know of 3,610 other planets.[1] These newly found planets are orbiting other stars: they are extrasolar planets. Sometimes people call them "exoplanets".

Main article: History of astronomy
Planets of the Solar System
The planets in the Solar System have names of Greek or Roman gods, apart from Earth, because people did not think Earth was a planet in old times. However, Earth is occasionally referred by the name of a Roman god: Terra. Other languages, for example Chinese, use different names. Moons also have names of gods and people from classical mythology, or from the plays written by Shakespeare.
Planets[change | change source]
Here is a list of planets in the Solar System. They are ordered by how close they are to the Sun, nearest first.
Types of planets[change | change source]
Astronomers speak about major (or true) planets, and minor planets, which are smaller objects that go around the Sun. Some examples of "minor planets" are asteroids, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects.
Planets in the Solar System are of three sorts:
Terrestrial or rocky: Planets that are similar to Earth — in them is mostly rock: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars.
Jovian or gas giant: These planets are mostly made of gas: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Uranian planets are a special sort of gas giants, they have more hydrogen and helium.
Icy: Sometimes people also have a third sort, for bodies such as Pluto (though Pluto is no longer called a planet by everyone). These planets are mostly made of ice.
Many objects in the Solar System that are not planets are also "icy". Examples are the icy moons of the outer planets of the Solar System (like Triton).

Do you own a digital marketing agency in India, and are planning to sell it in the near future? If you are, then know that exiting an agency isn't too different than starting one. Both these processes are complex in nature, requiring a lot of due diligence on your part.
Understanding everything and getting it all right is the key, even though most agency owners get most of the things, majority of the time, wrong. And it's so sad, because all the work that you've done so far to make your set of digital marketing services into what they are today, could all go down the drain. A wrong move could make your exit and the rewards you'd be expecting, amounting to nothing in the end. While it's true that to err is human, we can always try to make as less of mistakes as possible.
So, here are three tips you should keep in mind, while you're readying to either sell your digital agency or merge it with another.
When you're exiting your digital marketing company, you should have a thorough talk with all your partners and board members. For instance, while you're making your exit, you will have several deals that you'll have to look into. All of these deals would come with a lock-in period. Herein the owners, that is you and your business partners would be employed in the company for a certain period of time. Let's say your partner says they don't see themselves working under anyone, and you brush away the remark in all your excitement of finally exiting. This partner then, if leaves within the lock-in period, it could create a lot of problems for you as well as the new management.
While this is just an example of what could go wrong, post-acquisition stories are too well acquainted with partners not being in the same page. Therefore, you need to have all the difficult conversations up and done with before you enter any negotiation and go ahead with exit process. Do not rush in, and don't try to push anyone's concerns under the rug, just because it might not sound too serious to you. It might take you all several days to arrive at an agreement, wherein everyone has their concerns tackled with, but rest assured, this time will be worth spent.
There's always a certain valuation at which agencies exit within a particular industry. Say, the current valuation is around eight times the price-to-earnings ratio, then you'd be selling yours for eight times the average net profit your agency has had. While it might be an attractive number, you still have other things you need to consider. Questions such as, will it be a both equity and cash, or an all-cash deal, it would there be an earn out, and so on would need to be answered beforehand.
Know what your potential buyer has in mind, in terms of post-acquisition plans for you. For example, if it involves an earn out, the deal won't look as attractive to you as before. So, your agency would do good by getting support from your potential buyer in the form of account acquisition and financial resources.
Sure, exiting your Internet marketing company can be a super emotional and exciting time! But, it's important that you don't let your emotions get the better of you. Your decisions should always be based on hard facts and figures. You'll need to perform your due diligence.
One of the many things you should do is, considering looking at your potential buyer's financial statements. Because a decent professional could tell you with one look at the numbers, if this buyer really can afford to expand their business by acquiring yours. The answers that numbers could give you, could leave you surprised. And it's better to be surprised before than be shocked later.
You might consider contacting a broker to get you better potential buyers, to help in bringing you further leverage during your negotiations. But, brokers can easily prove to be a double-edged sword. An unscrupulous broker wouldn't think twice before persuading you to take a deal that would help their interests, while ruining your prospects. That's why, you will need to look into a broker well, before deciding to hire them.
Finally, the thing you should remember is, every deal is unique. But even though no two exit processes are exactly the same, the only way to make a successful exit is by going through each and every detail, without leaving anything out. Take every point seriously, make sure your approach is right, and you know you'll be good.

When you work out how much sodium chloride can be made with 15 grams of copper (II) chloride, you find that 13.0 grams will be formed. When starting with 20 grams of sodium nitrate, 13.6 grams will be formed. Since 13.0 grams is the smaller number, that's our answer. Please note that rounding differences may cause your answers to be slightly different, so if they are, don't panic.... 25/10/2015 · Calculate the moles of Li2O and H2O you have Since the moles of Li2O is limiting, moles of H2O used per the equation is the same as moles of Li2O moles of H2O remaining = moles of water in 80 kg - moles of water used in the reaction Convert moles of H2O remaining to mass and then to kg.
How do you solve limiting reagent problems?
25/10/2015 · Calculate the moles of Li2O and H2O you have Since the moles of Li2O is limiting, moles of H2O used per the equation is the same as moles of Li2O moles of H2O remaining = moles of water in 80 kg - moles of water used in the reaction Convert moles of H2O remaining to mass and then to kg.
Summary. In this lab, students experience a limiting reactant and can physically see the difference in amounts of product generated. They also see which reactant is in excess.
Let's take the combustion of methane.....which reaction cooked my dinner tonight. #CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g) rarr CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g)# And suppose I used a mass of #10*g# of methane.....Now clearly methane is the LIMITING REAGENT, and the dioxygen was in excess.
29/09/2008 · Best Answer: You look at how many moles of each of the reactants you have. You then look at the ratio of them. Whichever there is more of than a straight ratio is the one that is in excess, the other is the limiting reagent.

Die Queen of the Oceans ist ein im Jahr 2000 als Ocean Princess in Dienst gestelltes Kreuzfahrtschiff. Von 2002 bis 2020 fuhr es als Oceana. Sie gehört der aus vier Schiffen bestehenden Sun-Klasse an, die ursprünglich für die Reederei Princess Cruises gebaut wurde.

Geschichte
Die Ocean Princess entstand unter der Baunummer 6044 in der Werft von Fincantieri in Monfalcone und lief am 29. April 1999 vom Stapel. Nach der Fertigstellung und Ablieferung am 28. Januar 2000 an Princess Cruises nahm das Schiff im Februar 2000 den Dienst für Kreuzfahrten in die Karibik sowie in den Sommermonaten nach Alaska auf.

Im November 2002 wurde die Ocean Princess nach zwei Jahren im Dienst für Princess Cruises, an P&O Cruises übergeben und in Oceana umbenannt. Nachdem das Schiff im Jahr seiner Indienststellung unter der Flagge Liberias und anschließend unter britischer Flagge fuhr, ist es seit 2005 auf Bermuda mit Hamilton als Heimathafen registriert.

Im März und April 2008 erhielt die Oceana einer Generalüberholung in der Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven, bei der auch Teile der Inneneinrichtung erneuert wurden. Weitere größere Werftaufenthalte hatte das Schiff im Dezember 2012 sowie von November bis Dezember 2017 bei Blohm + Voss in Hamburg.

Die Oceana gehörte zu den Schiffen, die vom Mutterkonzern Carnival Corporation & plc im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie abgestoßen wurden. Käufer des Schiffes ist die griechische Reederei Seajets, die Fährverbindungen zu den Kykladen und nach Kreta betreibt. Ende Juli 2020 wurde das Schiff an den neuen Eigentümer übergeben und in Queen of the Oceans umbenannt. Seajets Catamaran lässt das Schiff von Optimum Ship Management in Piräus bereedern.

On the 9th of May he was returning homo when, without a word of warning, Sergeant Lewis caught hold of him and threw him into a cart, in which he took him to the police station. He did not know the reason for the arrest. All the way to the station Lewis knelt on his chest, and when they reached the station he was placed in the cell, where Lewis punched him in the face and said, "Take that." and while he was in a stupor he had an impression that the two defendants forced their hands into his pockets and abstracted his purse. He afterwards found a few coppers in his purse, whereas there should have been five or six shillings. He was brought before Mr. Jenkins in the morning, but stated that he was too unwell to defend himself. He was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and discharged. His face was much cut about, while his back and chest were covered with bruises.-Cross-examined by Mr. T. P. R.

The father had left them two years ago, and the mother, when she came out of the Newpoit Workhouse, had distributed her five children among her relatives, with the exception of Annie.

There were then no marks or bruises upon her. She corroborated the evidence given as to her subsequent condition.—Mr. Henry Richards, butcher, and Dr. W. Bassett, Newport, also gave evidence.—The female defendant stated that she received nothing for the care of the child, and had not seen the mother since she had received the child.

■ A Splendid Gift to the Nation.
■ A Splendid Gift to the Nation. The Wallace collection, to which the public were first admitted on Monday, constitutes the inosc splendid gift which has ever been offered by an individual to this country, and it is probably safe to say that it has had no parallel in the history of Europe. The value of the incomparable collection of works of art, has been variously estimated at between three and seven millions. The range is rather a wide one, but at any rate the cost of the property must have beeu enormous, and durinsr the time that it his been prepared for public exhibition, a gentleman whom Sir John Murray Scott suggested aa a possible Chancellor of the Exchequer, manifested his sense of its value by suggesting that the Govern- ment might have pawned the collection in order to meet the expenses of the Boer war. This noble gift. which recalls Mr. Ryland's bene- faction to Manchester, but is on a much larger scale, is an outcome of the princely expenditure of two successive Marquises of Hertford, supplemented by that of Sir Richard W allace. whose widow, a Frenchwoman, bestowed it upon the nation. The bequest comprises a large number of paintings and drawings, of almost priceless value, a comprehensive array of armour of various periods, concerning which it is said that Sir Richard Wallace sp;tred nothing to make it complete; Shres porcelain, comparable only to the Queen's at Windsor, and Buckingham Palace, an assemblage of Irench furniture, and objects of art unequalled in thIS, Country, and probably even in France; and there are many other features of a collection so vast that it would require many days to effect a thorough inspection of all its riches. The labour of arranging it all for public exhibition must have been enormous, but the task has at length been completed, and the treasures are preserved at Hertford House, which also becomes the property of the nation. The formal opening took place last week, when ap- propriate reference was made by the Prince of Wales and Lord Rosebery to the circumstances of the gift, and especially to the munificence of the late Lady Wallace, and to the eminent ser. vice rendered by Sir John Murray Scott in helping to carry into effect the wishes of his friend whose memory—ae he justly remarked—will ever be cherished as that of a great benefactress of thd British nation.

Yes, it is still a progressive town, but the university is a bit more tame these days. However, it still manages to makes the news occasionally. Just Google the recent "Diversity Cupcake Sale" and find out about the on-campus Republican protest to affirmative action. The opposition tried to stop them. But hey, isn't this Berkeley after all? Isn't this the one campus that should fiercely defend the right of Free Speech? Ah, this is where the rubber meets the road and progressives reveal their true agenda. Only certain kinds of speech are free. So much for "tolerance."
Universities and colleges used to be the marketplace for exchanging ideas, stimulating discussion, and promoting critical thought. Now it is a place for propaganda and indoctrination. Well, I have a message for the students...Keep thinking! Test all ideas. If you search for the truth, you will find it.

Jenna grew up working alongside her father on her grandfather's dairy farm in Bluemont. She loved rising before the sun, milking the cows and feeding the chickens and horses before school. During high school, Brownell was employed by a small, locally owned plant nursery where she learned to work in a greenhouse while continuing to help out on her grandfather's and neighboring farms tending the fields with other farm hands, learning to operate farm equipment, stacking hay bales, and much more.
Jenna earned a degree in Environmental Studies with an emphasis on Agroecology and a minor in Human Development and Nutrition. As part of her studies, Brownell traveled the southwest learning techniques of farming and growing food naturally.
Following graduation, she returned to Bluemont, securing a job growing herbs, fruits, vegetables and flowers for the 1,500-member Community Supported Agriculture program of Great Country Farms. Three years later, she began traveling to various farms to learn different Agroecological methods – goat farming in Alabama, grape and olive farming in Italy, native plant conservation in Montana, and native plant conservation and cultivation in Arizona.
For the past three years she was the Farmer in Residence at the world famous Inn at Little Washington growing ethically raised unique varietals of vegetables, herbs, cut flowers, edible blossoms and micro greens for the culinary team. In 2015 she was awarded by Zagat as one of the "30 Under 30" people in theWashington D.C. area for her influence on changing the culinary landscape and was the only farmer awarded! She also has been a guest judge on the popular TV series "Chopped Junior" in 2016.


Quirky upcycled decor that decorate your home while doing their bit to help the environment.
The term upcycling was coined in 1994 by Reiner Pilz. It means doing things with old products and adding value to them. Upcycling is similar to recycling in that it helps create less garbage, thus minimizing environmental impact, yet it differs in that it involves giving something old a new use.
Upcycling helps lessen the amount of waste going into landfills. You are cordially invited to see how some of our ethically and environmentally conscious and skilled makers go about doing this.
What can you do with scrap tyres and pieces of cotton and denim that are seemingly useless? Well, you won't believe what Funky Kalakar can do with these things. See it to believe it.
Scrap metal, old bottles, pieces of nothing, discarded items…all belong to the dust-bin, right? Not according to Ba No Batwo. See what gorgeousness they transform all that into.

Old forks without teeth, bent, rusted, pointless…not much you can do with them apart from dispose them off is what most people will say. But not the folks at Desi Jugaad; here's what they become in their able hands.

Harris (August 22, 1817 – January 6, 1888), a mixed-blood Chickasaw born in Mississippi, was elected the first Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, and served five non-consecutive two-year terms. Although his formal schooling was limited at an elementary level, he became fluent in both the English and Chickasaw languages. He and his family relocated to Indian Territory in 1837, where he was employed in business and also served as an interpreter and developed a keen interest in Chickasaw politics. In 1856, he was elected to his first term as governor of the newly established Chickasaw Nation His accomplishments included organizing a national government after the Chickasaw Nation and Choctaw Nation formally separated into two distinct entities. He also executed a formal alliance between his nation and  the Confederate States of America after the outbreak of the American Civil War. After the cessation of hostilities, he played a major role in the recovery of the nation from its devastated condition. He retired from politics in 1874, after serving his fifth term as governor. He died in 1887 at his home in Mill Valley, and was buried at the cemetery in Mill Valley.

He began his formal education at Monroe Mission School in 1827. Later, he went to an Indian School in Giles County, Tennessee.  His formal schooling was only elementary, and he never returned to school after leaving Tennessee.

Cyrus' grandfather, General William Colbert, was a notable Chickasaw warrior and leader. In 1830, Cyrus returned to live with his grandmother, mother and uncle, Martin Colbert.

Relocation to Indian Territory
Early in the 19th Century, the Federal Government began its attempts to force Native Americans out of their homelands in the Southeastern United States to a sparsely settled area that they had reserved for them across the Mississippi River. It was officially known as Indian Territory. In 1818, the Chickasaws became the first of the Five Civilized Tribes to sell their lands in Kentucky and Tennessee to the government. Each received a twenty-year annuity of $1,000 for their share of the tribal land.

By 1830, the Federal Government was putting heavy pressure on the Chickasaws to move from their homes in other Southeastern states to  Indian Territory.  Their close relatives, the Choctaws, had already signed the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek to move from Mississippi.

Fluent in both English and Chickasaw, Cyrus Harris became useful as an interpreter in the many meetings with government officials to discuss details of the removal. Cyrus, himself, moved in November, 1837, and settled along the Blue River in what is now Johnston County, Oklahoma, where he opened a mercantile business.

Chickasaw Nation political life
Cyrus Harris' diplomatic experience before and during removal sparked his interest in Chickasaw political affairs. He was selected to accompany Edward Pickens in 1850 and 1854 on missions to meet with Federal officials about tribal business. When he returned from the 1850 mission to Washington, he sold his Blue River home, and moved to Boggy Creek, where he lived for about a year. He then moved to Pennington Creek, about  west of Tishomingo, Oklahoma.  In 1855, after returning from his 1854 journey to Washington, Harris moved to Mill Creek, Oklahoma, which remained his home for the rest of his life.

The Chickasaw Nation adopted a new constitution in August, 1856. According to Meserve, there were several candidates in the 1856 election for governor, but none received a majority of the popular vote. Thus, the choice was left to the  Legislature, which selected Cyrus Harris by a majority of one vote. Harris spent the majority of his two-year term organizing the new government. He ran for a second term in 1858, but was defeated by Dougherty Colbert.

Cyrus Harris was elected Governor again in 1860. During this term, the American Civil War broke out. The Chickasaws were the first of the Five Civilized Tribes to openly favor the Confederacy. Governor Harris signed the resolutions supporting secessions from the Union on May 25, 1861.

Harris lost the 1862 election to Dougherty Colbert, and did not run for office in 1864. He ran again in 1866 and was elected Governor for the third time, and was reelected in 1868. Apparently he did not run again in 1870, but made his final campaign in 1872, in which he won his final term as governor. Although he ran again in 1874, he lost to B. F. Overton. He was a candidate in the 1878 election for a sixth term,  but lost to Benjamin C. Burney by five votes. He then retired from politics and spent the remainder of his life at his Mill Creek home. He only emerged from political retirement in 1886 to vigorously support his nephew, William Guy, who was the Progressive Party candidate for governor. Guy's opponent, the "Conservative Party candidate, William L. Byrd, lost this election. However, their political fortunes reversed, and Byrd defeated Guy in the 1890 election.

Harris family
Sources state that Cyrus Harris married three times. His first wife was Kizzie Kemp. His second wife was Nancy Thomas who was born in 1830 in Chickasaw, Mississippi. She married Cyrus Harris in 1848. They had eight children in 14 years. She died as a young mother on January 22, 1864, in Mill Creek, Oklahoma, at the age of 34. His third was Hettie Frazier.

In 1960, flooding along Mill Creek threatened to wash away the old Mill Creek Cemetery. Relatives of Governor Harris decided to have his remains moved to the Drake-Nebo Cemetery.  His wife and one daughter, Emily, had been buried there during the 1990s. Their other daughter, Lucy Harris Lael, had been reburied in Oaklawn Cemetery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
