Q: Java sockets - can't initialise a second connection in the same program life cycle I am developing a program that makes use of java sockets. When a button is pressed (either one saying server or client), it calls a method in which initialises a connection, sends and recieves a message and then closes a connection. This works fine the first time around. However, if the connection is closed and then the user wishes to establish another connection by pressing the button, it simply just doesn't work - the connection doesn't establish. Here is the relevent code:
Relevent methods from the class in which allows the users to press the buttons that let them choose to be server or client and then initialises the connection:
public static void server() {

    JButton server = new JButton();
    server.setText("Server");

    server.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

            String name = nameChoice;
            String ip = ipChoice;
            String port = portChoice;
            System.out.println(port);

            try {
                server2(port);
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            } catch (Exception e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    });

    panel.add(server);

}

public static void client() {

    JButton client = new JButton();
    client.setText("Client");

    client.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

            String name = nameChoice;
            String ip = ipChoice;
            String port = portChoice;

            try {
                client2(port, ip);
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            } catch (Exception e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    });

    panel.add(client);

}

public static void server2(String port) throws Exception {

    chatWindowScreen gui = new chatWindowScreen();

    gui.frame();

    System.out.println(port);

    network sockets = new network();

    SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
        @Override
        protected Object doInBackground() throws Exception {

            sockets.serverSetup(port);
            sockets.sendMsg("Hi");
            sockets.receiveMsg();
            sockets.closeConnection();

            return null;
        }
    };
    worker.execute();

}

public static void client2(String port, String ip) throws Exception {

    gui.frame();

    network sockets = new network();

    SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {

            sockets.closeConnection();

            return null;

        gui.sent.setText("Sent \n");

        for (int i = 0; i < sentVec.size(); i++) {

            gui.sent.append(sentVec.get(i) + "\n");

        }

        gui.received.setText("Received \n");

        for (int i = 0; i < receivedVec.size(); i++) {

        return sentVec;

    }

    public static Vector getReceivedVec() {

        return receivedVec;

    }

}

I added in some temporary lines of code to see what's happening in the code, and this is what i got when attempting to establish a connection, close it and then open it again:
GUI opened
Server
Server set up
Send MSG
Message sent
Receive message
Message received
Closing
Connection closed
GUI opened
Server

GUI opened
Client
Client set up
Receive message
Message received
Send MSG
Message sent
Closing
Connection closed
GUI opened
Client
Client set up
Receive message

As you can see from the sequence of events, the server isn't properly initialising a connection the second time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CodePlex Foundation Aims to Evolve Commercial Open Source
By Sean Michael Kerner
Almost a year after launching, the Microsoft-sponsored open source CodePlex Foundation is looking ahead to an ambitious agenda in its second year of life.
Paula Hunter, the executive director of the CodePlex Foundation, told InternetNews.comthat new efforts around branding, contributions and governance at the CodePlex Foundation are underway. The foundation is also planning to roll out a host of additional projects, with some to be officially sponsored by Microsoft and others that the software giant will not formally support.
Hunter's efforts are aimed at delivering on the mandate of the CodePlex Foundation to help grow commercial opportunities for open source projects across the project lifecycle.
"What we've done is we've looked at the project lifecycle from concept to commercial deployment," Hunter said. "What we're doing is mapping out what services we can provide to the project across the lifecycle."
In the early stages of a project when it is still being conceptualized, for example, the effort needs IP guidance and counsel on what license should be used, Hunter explained. She added that a project will also need to build and sustain a community. Once a project is ready to launch, it then requires marketing support to promote the project to the right audience.
"We're mapping out those services now and building out the capabilities to deliver those services across the project lifecycle," Hunter said.
One of the key items that Hunter will be working on is helping to make sure that people understand the relationship and difference between CodePlex.com and CodePlex.org. Hunter explained that the CodePlex.com website is the Microsoft-owned development forgefor Microsoft's open source projects that launched in 2006. In contrast, CodePlex.org is the independent nonprofit home of the CodePlex Foundation, which is sponsored by Microsoft.
Hunter noted that there is no requirement for CodePlex Foundation participants to use the CodePlex.com forge, but rather that the foundation is forge-agnostic.
Hunter stressed that the CodePlex Foundation is not a proxy for Microsoft, though Microsoft is currently the lead sponsor.
"We're an independent organization. Yes we do have Microsoft employees on our board of directors, but they're not a majority the board," Hunter said. "They (Microsoft) are our primary funder. We will have additional funders over time."
Hunter said that Microsoft has made a three-year commitment to the CodePlex Foundation, noting that any new sponsors coming to the foundation will be required to sign up for the same term. Hunter declined to disclose a dollar figure that the foundation is looking for from new sponsors.
In terms of adding additional sponsors, Hunter noted that she is closing in on some opportunities that she wasn't able to comment on, yet.
"A lot of people wanted to see the model play out, and with what we'll be rolling out over the next several weeks, you'll see us exhibiting a lot of traction," Hunter said.
Overall, though, the CodePlex Foundation's goal is not to attract a large number of sponsors.
"We're not looking at being an organization that has dozens or hundreds of sponsors," Hunter said. "We think a small number of focused sponsors can sustain us and keep us successful."
Looking forward, Hunter sees two key goals for growing the CodePlex Foundation as it moves into its second year.
"When I talk to my board of directors for fiscal 2011, I characterize the priorities into two buckets: creditability and traction," she said. "We need to continue to enhance our credibility with the community and with industry, and we need to demonstrate traction."

Young man took his life outside Derby flats after having 'nothing to live for'
Lewis Gee died at the age of 27
Lewis Gee's body was found outside a block of flats near Mercian Way (Image: Nigel Slater)
An inquest has heard how a young Derby man took his own life because he felt he had "nothing to live for".
Derby and Derbyshire Coroners' Court heard how Lewis Gee died outside a block of flats where his partner was living on Rosengrave Street on October 16, last year.
It was heard how an off-duty police officer discovered the 27-year-old's body on a tree close to Mercian Way just before midnight.
When more police officers arrived at the scene they pulled his body down, but nothing could be done to save him when paramedics attended.
The inquest also heard how Mr Gee had got into drugs from his early 20s and had a problem with drugs and alcohol dependency over many years.
It was said he spent time in and out of prison after he committed a number of offences.

While in prison he wrote a notebook which recorded his feelings about his life which he then showed to close friends and loved ones after his release from jail.
A statement from Mr Gee's mum, Beverley Pilgrim, told how he had developed a close relationship with a woman called Georgina in his early 20s.
She said: "When he was about 20-years-old he had formed a relationship with a girl called Georgina and they had a child together. They then became estranged."
Mr Gee's mum added losing touch with his child made him feel "he had nothing to live for."
He then developed another close relationship from the age of 25.
Assistant coroner Emma Serrano concluded Mr Gee died as he intended to commit suicide.
She said: "I've heard evidence that he (Mr Gee) in the past had self-harmed and had suicidal thoughts but he had not acted on them.
"I've heard that he had a child and not had contact with his child and that made him feel like he had nothing to live for.
"I have seen and read his notebook which includes details why he was unhappy in his life but it also says how he is going to focus and wished to move forward.
"But I've also heard how he took himself to a secluded area where nobody else could see and he chose to do the act he did, so there must have been the intention of taking his own life.
"I would like to take this opportunity to express my condolences to the family."

When installing gutter systems on large office buildings, commercial buildings and houses with large volumes of water, 6" gutters are the best solution. 6" gutters can handle approximately 40% more volume than a standard 5" seamless gutter system. When installing 6" gutters, 3x4" oversized down spouts are used as well, allowing more water and debris to flow freely through the system.
We have seen an incredible increase in our 6" seamless gutter installs over the last few years. Even on straight ranch, cape and colonial homes we have encountered many homeowners that want the larger sized 6" gutters because even when their gutters are clean, the smaller 5" seamless gutters overflow.
6" Oversized Gutters are not only used on "commercial buildings", but very often are used in residential settings.
Rooflines with tremendous amounts of water concentrating to a small portion of gutter.
Inside valleys where the water is flowing at great speed, and typically overflows during heavy rains.
Take A Look At Our 6" Seamless Gutters!

Our next step in maths was to use our times tables to solve expanded and short multiplication problems. We did it on our whiteboards first before completing some in our books.
We have been using 'Multiplication Magic' to multiply by multiples of 10.
We have had a great time learning how to play cricket through Chance to Shine and Durham Cricket Club.
As part of our class text, How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, we have been following instructions to help us to make a woolly mammoth.
So far we have covered the milk bottle in glue and created the woolly mammoths coat by using tissue paper. Once dry, our next step is to add the tusks, ears and eyes.
Keep a look out for our finished work.

Q: Grails - "Cannot get property 'grails' on null object" from unit test I get the following error...
Cannot get property 'grails' on null object

}

I have browsed the web and found nothing.
I do not any guess from where it could come.
Any help greatly apreciated :)

A: Problem was that Grails does not support the ConfigurationHolder object in unit tests.
It is possible to solve it this way:
mockConfig("""
        grails {
            serverURL = 'my domain name'
        }
    """)

to call the grails.serverURL property of Config.groovy for example.

The toughest opponent for the Colorado State football team this season is itself.
The Rams simply cannot stop finding ways to create their own problems.
It happened again Saturday night in an ugly 24-10 loss to San Diego State in front of an announced crowd of 29,767 at Canvas Stadium on homecoming.
Here are three thoughts on the game.
Mistakes at the worst time
It's a weekly occurrence at this point. In a pivotal moment in the game, the Rams do something to tilt the win probability meter in favor of the opponent.
That swing Saturday night came on either side of the halftime break.
CSU trailed 10-3 when it was pinned at its own 3 after a SDSU punt in the second quarter. What ensued looked to be CSU's best drive of the season.
The Rams methodically moved the ball inside the San Diego State 1. CSU had three cracks at the end zone and failed, going up the middle with a run each play before turning the ball over on downs on the final attempt. That's a costly miss against one of the top defenses in the nation.
CSU then fumbled on the first play of the second half, a failed exchange between Patrick O'Brien and Marvin Kinsey Jr.
San Diego State (4-1, 1-1 Mountain West) turned that into a touchdown. Even though it was early third quarter, that was the end of the game in all reality as CSU completely crumbled.
The Rams were minus-four in turnovers against San Diego State. CSU entered the game 118th in Division I in turnover margin at minus-6.
Offensive struggles
Yes, the torn ACL suffered by QB Collin Hill has drastically altered the hopes of this offense and team as a whole.
That said, Saturday was an abysmal performance from what's supposed to be CSU's best side of the ball.
O'Brien looked lost most the night and he finished 19 for 30 for 217 yards. The Rams could not run the ball at all. Justice McCoy entered the game at QB in the second half for two series and each series lasted one play — an interception thrown by McCoy both times.
CSU mustered 228 yards of total offense and didn't threaten to score after the turnover deep in SDSU territory until a touchdown from O'Brien to Nate Craig-Myers with 5:55 left made it 24-10. The Aztecs then milked the clock to under a minute with the ensuing drive to seal the game.
Pressure officially on
CSU is now 1-5 (0-2 Mountain West) following a 3-9 season, which came immediately after athletic director Joe Parker handed Mike Bobo a contract extension through the 2022 season.
It doesn't matter how close the Rams think they are to turning the corner. It doesn't matter the offseason accountability changes. If the losses keep mounting, all of that is empty calories. CSU has now lost 10 games in a row against FBS opponents.
Wins against New Mexico and UNLV are absolute musts. CSU probably needs to beat both Air Force and Wyoming to even find a somewhat realistic way to say the program is moving forward.
Bobo and staff have at most six games to show this can turn around.

Whether you're moving or starting psychiatry for the first time, switching to a new psychiatrist can feel like an intimidating process. It is natural to be nervous about the transition, but you do not have to be. With a little preparation, you can make the switch as smooth as possible. Here are some tips for preparing for a new psychiatrist.
Write down these topics, and then save a list of them on your phone as a backup. You could also put a copy in your wallet/purse and one in your car. This will ensure you have the list on hand no matter what, and it will keep your anxiety to a minimum.
Your new psychiatrist may ask about previous diagnoses, but he or she will mostly focus on your symptoms. Your psychiatrist does not want to be directed to a certain treatment method. Instead, he or she wants to find the ideal course of treatment for you. For instance, you may see a psychiatrist for anxiety medication, when in reality, you would do better with ADHD medication. You might not need medication at all. Your psychiatrist will determine that during your appointment so you get the ideal care from the start.
Your psychiatrist will ask you about the medications you are currently taking. Do not assume that they will be listed in your file. Include your medications and dosages on your list of questions, and create backups for that list as well.
Perhaps the best way to ease your mind is to know what to expect during your first psychiatrist appointment. This applies to people seeing a psychiatrist for the first time and those transferring to a new psychiatrist.
The first appointment is mostly a get-to-know-you session. Your psychiatrist may have notes about your medical and mental health history from previous providers, but that is not always the case. Even with those notes though, your psychiatrist will ask you about your symptoms, experiences, concerns, goals and more. This creates a foundation for your relationship, and it allows the psychiatrist to create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Based on your answers, your psychiatrist will recommend a course of treatment. This may be identical to your previous treatment plan, or it may be altered in some way. Your psychiatrist will go over every detail of the treatment with you. Then you can discuss follow-up appointments, including how frequently they will occur and how long they will last.

Deportation Lawyer Bloomfield Hills MI
Bloomfield Hills's Top Rated Deportation Lawyer
Numerous non-citizens in the United States are currently in removal (deportation) proceedings before Immigration Judges in the Detroit Metropolitan area and other jurisdictions. Immigration removal (deportation) proceedings commence with the preparation of a NTA (Notice To Appear), which is a legal document that contains the immigration related allegations against the non-citizen and the reasons why the United States government believes that the individual is subject to removal (deportation). In Immigration Court the non-citizen battles against the DHS (Department of Homeland Security), which is represented in Immigration Court by the Office of Chief Counsel for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
ICE can make its own immigration bond determination for any non-citizen to allow his or her release from custody. However, if ICE does not want to set an immigration bond, or if the immigration bond is set in an amount that is too expensive for the non-citizen to post, the non-citizen (if eligible) can seek release on an immigration bond from the assigned Immigration Judge if the alien can establish that he or she does not pose a danger to a person or property, is not a threat to national security, is not a flight risk, and is eligible for some form of immigration relief. A non-citizen who is subject to "mandatory detention" (generally, for serious criminal convictions) does not have the ability to seek bond from an Immigration Judge because the Immigration Judge does not have the authority to issue an immigration bond. Most non-citizens that are deemed to be "arriving aliens" generally do not have the opportunity to receive an immigration bond (meaning, they remain in custody until the Immigration Judge decides otherwise, or until they are deported), and only have limited abilities to present their case in removal proceedings (such as an asylum seeker who successfully demonstrates a "credible fear", who can seek bond once that determination is made in his or her favor). If a immigration bond is allowed by an Immigration Judge for any reason, it has to be a minimum of $1500 or higher under guidelines which the Immigration Judge must follow.
During deportation court proceedings the non-citizen has a few basic protections, including: the right to hire legal counsel (there are no public defenders at the government's expense); the right to be provided with a list of available non-profit legal services; the right to contact the consulate for his or her home country; the right to have an interpreter; due process rights (to examine evidence against the alien, to present evidence, cross examine witnesses, etc.) except to the extent that it involves national security information. The limited protections that a non-citizen has only have value if proper legal representation is received.
The government through ICE counsel has the initial burden of proof to establish by clear, convincing, and unequivocal evidence that the person in removal proceedings is not a US citizen and deportable from the United States. If the United States government is able to meet this burden of proof, the non-citizen will have the opportunity to seek certain forms of discretionary relief if he or she is potentially eligible for the same, which may (but does not always) include: adjustment of status, waivers of inadmissibility and removability, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, asylum, withholding of removal, CAT (Convention Against Torture), legalization and registry. If the alien loses, he or she has the ability to appeal the decision of the Immigration Judge to the BIA (Board of Immigration Appeals), and to thereafter appeal an affirmation of the Immigration Judge by the BIA to the United States Federal Court that has jurisdiction.
Retain Deportation Defense Attorney near Bloomfield Hills, Michigan To Fight Your Removal
If facing deportation, the obvious decision is to hire a well versed and aggressive immigration attorney to fight on your behalf. The immigration lawyer, if hired to defend you, can help in the following manners: to defend the allegations listed in the NTA, to effectively communicate with the non-citizen (visit in jail, meet at the immigration attorney's office, etc.), to provide great advice about legal options which may be available, to research and present any eligible forms of discretionary relief, to seek a reasonable bond (if eligible), to prepare the best available defense, to present the best available defense in the most appropriate and compelling way, to appeal any adverse ruling from an Immigration Judge or other Court, etc. Under some circumstances the ability of your immigration defense lawyer to provide effective representation may be the difference from remaining lawfully in the United States and being deported to your home country and permanently barred from ever returning to the United States (depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case).
When you need a passionate and proper deportation defense, Hilf & Hilf, PLC is the legal team that you need to retain.

Andover, Hampshire - St Mary Church
Click on photos to enlarge.
Notes in italics from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight by Nikolaus Pevsner and David Lloyd (1967)
Yale University Press, New Haven and London.
Built at the expense of Dr Goddard, who retired from the headmastership of Winchester College in 1809 to live at Andover. He died in 1845, aged eighty-eight, just before his church had been completed. ... It was begun in 1840, opened in 1844, and completed, including the tower, in 1846. ...
Extraordinary and really quite brilliant design. The building first of all is excellently placed on a hill a little above the town. Second it is consistently E.E. (Early English), which was not what was fashionable in 1840 ... Dr Goddard went to Salisbury for inspiration. The building is of knapped flint and stone. Tall W tower, very sheer, with no buttress set-offs, tall lancet bell-openings and blank lancets, high pinnacles. Tall aisles with pairs of lancets, clerestory, transepts, one with three stepped lancets in the end wall, the other with five of equal height. The apse appears externally to be of the full height of the building. Lower windows with geometrical tracery (three unfoiled circles).
The exterior is impressive enough, the interior is sensational. Very high nave with a plaster rib-vault. Tall piers with six attached shafts with shaft-rings and rich stiff-leaf capitals. The tower arch is high, but below is a strainer arch, its lower part a normal arch, its upper part curving upward. The E end of the nave is higher than the apse appears inside and has a stepped five-light window leading into the space behind the upper apse windows.
The bright overall painting of the interior, in two tones, is more typically a feature of the unhistoric Gothic of the Georgian period rather than the more historically correct Victorian Gothic - what might be termed Georgian Gothic Survival. An example of the style in the Georgian period proper is at Belvoir Castle.
The apse - a stroke of genius - is separated from the rest of the church by a screen of three arches on immensely long round shafts. The apse itself has double tracery, i.e. tracery in two layers, the climax of this ingenious and fervent design. ... In the apse windows good patterned glass, coeval with the church.
The transepts are only as high as the aisles. Transepts and aisles have rib-vaults as well. ... First picture is the north transept, last three are the south transept. The west side of the south transept shows two lancet windows, but three on the outside.
Monuments. Richard Kentish died 1611 and family. (Misread or misprinted by Pevsner. Should be Kemish, according to the background plaque, or Kimis, according to the plaque below the monument). Small figures. He seated frontally holding a skull, the others kneeling. Columns l. and r. Last pictures: Richard Venables died 1621 and wife. The usual kneelers facing one another. Large figures.
Stained glass has been inserted in most windows at various times, all described in a guide in the church. The latest is the Millennium window above.

Quitting alcohol: 'The joyless vision of sobriety couldn't have been further from the truth'
Shantel Wetherall

When I first stopped drinking, I studiously avoided discussing my sobriety at work or at social events.
Quitting alcohol has been fantastic for me – but I avoided telling people, for fear of being thought boring. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to dance anymore, to have sex with the lights on, or do any number of the little things that make life worth living. Friends have expressed similar reservations. Many want to change their relationship to alcohol, but they recoil at the prospect of self-flagellating, before submitting to a joyless life.
When AA was founded in 1935 there was no provision for women, let alone women of colour. The universal efficacy of methods drawn from the experiences of white men, with limited scientific backing, have long been called into question, but until recently alternatives have been hard to find.
The AA vision of sobriety couldn't have been further from the truth for me. Sobriety isn't about sacrifice – the lucidity I'm able to bring to my important moments now intensifies their brightness and hue. I discovered sobriety because I found something that was too important to do while numb.

That choice has radiated out – steering me into alignment with the things I care about the most; my politics, health and work. When I finally started discussing my choice not to drink I realised I was far from alone. An increasing variety of people are looking to sobriety as a tool for both personal and social transformation. It's no coincidence that a lot of the exciting change around the language of alcohol consumption is coming from people embedded in broader liberation movements. They're young, queer, feminist, disabled, Indigenous and absolutely anything but boring.
Often, discussions of alcohol misuse focus on the dire consequences of addiction, and that's understandable. The number of women in the US dying from alcohol-related causes has risen 85% in the past 20 years. While alcohol addiction is real and profoundly harmful, the "rock bottom" narrative that often accompanies these stories didn't resonate with me.
It was nothing short of electrifying to realise that I wasn't alone in struggling with alcohol, but not feeling "sick enough" to get help. For generations, we've been forced to either keep drinking, even though we're no longer comfortable with it, tough it out alone, or seek treatment that labels us as pathologically dysfunctional.
Thankfully the conversation has evolved and we understand that you can be successful, functional and burdened by addiction – and that for others, not drinking is not about "I can't", but "I prefer not to" or sometimes, "I prefer something else".
Sobriety doesn't have to mean dwelling in shame and grief. Instead, it can be part of challenging any social norm that does not serve a person, or their community.
Last year, I joined Tempest, a group that focuses on the stressors that prompt drinking. In an interview with The Guardian, its founder Holly Whitaker explained they "assume our clients need to be built up, that they need love over punishment, that they need to learn how to exist within their bodies and feel safe within this world. It's a feminine-centric system, but men do very well in our programme."
Whitaker's work stresses the links between alcohol and patriarchy, and treats the things that might drive women and those from marginalised groups to drink as a societal problem, not as a "you" problem.
Tempest is one of many groups offering refreshingly different approaches. Tellingly, these collectives are not just for the sober, but the "sober curious" – they are open to people who are still drinking, and emphasise the importance of agency and choice.
I'm now a member of Served Up Sober too, a support group for women of colour. The group's founder, Shari Hampton, created Served Up Sober because she saw that alternative therapies had become increasingly prominent in treating narcotics addiction and were demonstrated to be highly effective, spreading into the field of alcohol treatment too.
Hampton explains that she was a beneficiary of that process. "A family friend that was a retired psychiatrist healed me using all forms of healing modalities," she says. "I'm very aware that had I not had the connection to Dr Grier I wouldn't have had access to those types of opportunities." She started the group to address that gap in approach – she wanted to make those holistic tools more available to women of colour who are "sober or sober curious".
Australian organisation Hello Sunday Morning takes a similarly flexible approach. Spokesman Roger Falconer-Flint explains: "We don't think there's one size fits all … people need to find their own sweet spot for their relationship with alcohol and pursue that." Their Daybreak app uses health coaches and peer support to promote behavioural change. Though the majority of the app's users are working on sobriety, a significant number are there to work on moderation. All are welcome and supported in their community.
These days, social justice is mentioned as frequently as wellness when friends contact me to talk through their reservations about the role alcohol plays in their lives. That has also been the case for Clinton Schultz, a proud Gamilaroi man and psychologist. He tells me he stopped drinking after it became impossible to reconcile with his values.
But, he faced challenges. "I didn't really appreciate being treated like a child when I requested a non-alcoholic beverage," he says. So, he co-founded a non-alcoholic craft beer company, Sobah. He couldn't understand why skipping alcohol had to mean missing out on the joys of sharing a beer with friends and explains that "Sobah is leading a conversation surrounding Australian societal issues with alcohol consumption and breaking down the stigma of socialising sober."
The company is a social enterprise that funds programs providing culturally responsive services to community. On 26 July they'll be part of the first Flow Festival, an alcohol-free virtual beer festival. For Clinton the outlook is overwhelmingly positive. "The whole non-alcoholic sector is growing exponentially at the moment. There's more options for anybody choosing to not drink, at any time for any reason, which was always our mission, so that's great."
For some non-drinkers, those options don't just extend to craft beer festivals. When California legalised recreational marijuana in 2016 it gave rise to the 'Cali-sober' movement: those who avoid alcohol but still wish for the occasional high.
Brandon Andrew loved alcohol, and says "I have stories for days, whether or not I'm proud of them …" That ended when he was diagnosed with eye cancer. His life-saving treatment came with strict orders to avoid alcohol. He became Cali-sober and co-founded a stylish alcohol-free, THC infused drink company, Calexo. The popularity of the movement has shown that for some, sobriety doesn't mean staying "sober" in the traditional sense of the word.
Choosing sobriety has become an accessible form of liberation for me, and it has become an important stepping stone to others. Hampton puts it well: "Instead of being powerless they can be powerful. That's a new approach to sobriety, it's the powerful piece of you. The bigness of you, not the smallness."

Dedh Ishqiya – A Beautiful Portrayal of Lesbian Love
Dedh Ishqiya Movie
Dedh Ishqiya is special. Special because it makes certain points and portrays certain themes on the silver screen with such artistic brilliance, beauty, boldness and subtlety that one cannot help but marvel. The evocative use of Urdu creates an atmosphere which asks one to sit back, soak in the romance of a by-gone era and savour every moment of it. At one level Dedh Ishqiya is almost like a medieval romance set in the 21st century (the humorous references to the iPhone is a reminder of that). Laced with intrigues and counter intrigues and punctuated with humour the narrative takes in its stride some significant subjects- claims to aristocracy by the nouveau riche, the debate surrounding inherent artistic ability and feigned artistic glory. At the heart of the narrative, however, almost secretly protected in a gilded box is a pristine and beautiful relationship between the two female protagonists of the film- Muniya(Huma Qureshi) and Begum Para(Madhuri Dixit). Even the revelation of the fact that the relationship between Begum Para and Muniya is something more than friendship towards the climax (the much talked about shadow play and a reference to "Lihaaf"-evoking the allusion to Ismat Chugtai's Lihaaf) is so aesthetically and soothingly achieved that one is left wonder struck.
Fire was the last mainstream Hindi film to have positively portrayed a lesbian relationship and that presentation too had its share of critics and admirers. The critics pointed out to the fact that the relationship that the female leads of Fire shared hinged upon an immensely patriarchal basis as it was only after the women were denied their husband's love that they turned to each other for emotional and physical solace. However, the story in Dedh Ishqiya is different. At one level critics could argue that the case here is the same as Begum Para was not loved by her husband, whose sole preoccupations of gambling, alcoholism and pederasty (laundebaazi) are made explicit in the film, and therefore found in Muniya a friend, a partner and a soul-mate. That may be true but she does not simply accept Muniya as a substitute for a man. She exercises agency, and even when she is presented with a choice- as she has in Khalujan (Naseeruddin Shah), whom she herself acknowledges as a lover one can only dream to have – she chooses to spend the rest of her life with Muniya. It is this aspect of the agency that she exercises both with respect to her existence as well as her sexuality which makes Dedh Ishqiya a path breaking film.
It does not scream out or ask the audiences to gobble lessons related to female autonomy but subtly(and subtly is an understatement here) communicates Begum Para's angst and new found happiness in a statement she makes, "Mujhe Jeene Ki Aazadi Chahiye." She is desirous of freedom and her right to be which has been denied to her at every stage of her existence. Her marriage caused her to wilt, it caused her to stifle the dancer within her and dance is something that she embodies. Her husband's death and Muniya's company gave her a new reason to live for herself, a new reason to do what she always wanted to and a purpose to exist. It is this opportunity that is denied to countless women not only in India but in every corner of the world where patriarchy looms large. Dedh Ishqiya may not be a member of the 100 crore or 200 crore club of Indian cinema, but it is an achievement in cinematic excellence a few can parallel.

Love and attraction are common and available in all the minds. It goes beyond the physical understanding of thing because it is psychological and very much natural too. It is nature that has provided the right to privacy or non-interference of others in anyone's private affairs. Whenever a person likes, desires or chooses something, it is solely his or her right to decide under right to privacy. Society is carrying the knowledge with narrow and complicated senses. The understanding of homosexuality requires the broader sense to be applied with lots of perspectives, dimensions and approaches in separate contexts.

Nuggets vs. Timberwolves: Game preview, TV schedule and more
Injuries have put the Timberwolves into a bit of a rut, but improving health should make things a bit easier as the Nuggets come to town Wednesday.

Share All sharing options for: Nuggets vs. Timberwolves: Game preview, TV schedule and more
Greg Smith-US PRESSWIRE
The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night as they look to shake off their recent stretch of poor play and stay above .500 on the season. After a 4-1 start, the T-Wolves have lost three of their past four games, including back-to-back home games against Charlotte and Golden State last week.
In the Nuggets, Minnesota will be facing a team that's dealt with some adversity of its own lately. A maddeningly inconsistent squad so far, Denver began its season with a three-game losing streak, following it up with a four-game winning streak, then subsequently book ended things with a second three-game losing streak.
Denver did defeat a solid Memphis Grizzlies squad on Monday night to end that second losing streak, though, plus two of the losses during the streak were at the hands of the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, two of the very best teams in the sport.
Health has been the primary culprit of Minnesota's issues of late, though things are improving on that end. Nikola Pekovic and J.J. Barea are expected to play on Wednesday against Denver, so the depth issues that have plagued the team of late won't be as severe.
Wednesday's game, broadcast by FOX Sports North, begins at 8 p.m. ET from the Target Center.

Need help using your computer software?
Computers are powerful tools but getting them to do what you want can be a nightmare at first. Every task seems to need a different programme and learning how to use it can be a nightmare.
There are two ways to learn, the hard way and the easy way. Unfortunately in my experience too many people take the hard way - trial and error and, after poring over manuals and help files often end up giving up in disgust. The smart ones like you take the easy route and get help from someone who knows and can teach. Whether you are a home or business computer user, it's never too late to ask for help.
I love helping computer novices, intermediate users and so called "silver surfers" learn to make the most of their personal computer. It makes my day when the "penny drops" and they are able to get their computer programme to do what they want it to do.
Most of my customers say I charge too little - Personal tuition is just £45 for a 1:1 session of one hour and will save your time and frustration.

Congressional candidate Joe Kent encourages those outside the Department of Health in Tumwater on Wednesday who showed up to protest a nonexistent plan to forcibly quarantine people who refuse the COVID vaccine. Kent is seeking to unseat U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler in Southwest Washington's 3rd Congressional District.

Protesters descend on WA Board of Health after misinformation about vaccine plans goes viral
Jim Brunner and Elise Takahama The Seattle Times
TUMWATER, Thurston County — Late last week, disturbing rumors started to fly on social media.
The state Board of Health, they claimed, was about to authorize local health officials and police to round up people for refusing to get coronavirus vaccines and forcibly lock them up in quarantine facilities.
It wasn't true. There was no such plan.
But the falsehood spread with omicron-like rapidity, fueled by misinformation from anti-vaccine activists, some conservative radio hosts and at least three Republican congressional candidates.
By the time the health board convened on Wednesday, the usually obscure panel had been deluged with more than 30,000 emails, hundreds of calls and requests from some 8,000 people to testify at its virtual public meeting. Some of the messages included threats to board members and staff.
Keith Grellner, the chair of the Board of Health, said in an interview this week the heated blowback was based on "totally false" descriptions of the board's meeting agenda.
"It's created confusion. It's created anger. It's created fear. And it is wasting a huge amount of government resources, time and money," said Grellner. "These people who put out this misinformation seem to relish in the chaos that they're creating."
In addition to the phone calls and messages, a couple hundred protesters showed up Wednesday morning outside the Department of Health offices in Tumwater, just south of the state Capitol in Olympia.
They raged at the nonexistent quarantine plot, as well as a real — but very early stage — study on whether to mandate coronavirus vaccines for children to attend K-12 schools. Some demonstrators waved signs comparing vaccine mandates to laws passed in Nazi Germany, and accusing Gov. Jay Inslee of tyranny and treason. Signs claimed state officials were setting up internment camps, with one referring to Joint Base Lewis-McChord as "America's Auschwitz."
Rickey Hardy, of McCleary, Grays Harbor County, was holding a sign declaring "Impeach Adolf Inslee" and wearing a yellow star of David on his camouflage jacket, a symbol Nazis forced Jewish people to wear during the Holocaust.
Hardy said he'd heard about the fake plans for quarantining vaccine refusers from "someone over the telephone" and added: "Google it. There's a lot of videos."
The rally was led by Joe Kent, the Donald Trump-endorsed candidate seeking to unseat U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler in Southwest Washington's 3rd Congressional District.
Kent hyped the rally against "COVID tyranny" and "forced quarantine" on Twitter to his 125,000 followers, with an image of a woman locked in a room with bars on the windows. He also appeared on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon's popular "War Room" podcast this week to promote the event.
Jesse Jensen, a Republican challenging U.S. Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Sammamish, in the 8th Congressional District, fired off a press release condemning the health board's "Gestapo tactics to come into your home and detain you and your family."
Doug Basler, a perennial Republican candidate running for the 9th Congressional District seat held by Bellevue Congressman Adam Smith, also sent a news release urging opposition to quarantines he compared to "Soviet-style lockdowns."
At the rally, Kent claimed the board had changed its plans after public blowback, but board officials said that's false — the agenda was not changed — but the board did issue a statement seeking to clarify the agenda amid the tsunami of misinformation.
Kent said he understands the state wasn't about to "flip a switch" and start arresting people. But he said trust in government has been broken by two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
"They're exploiting and using the pandemic to take away our voices," he said. "This should be a public hearing at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening so everyone can get off work and attend."
The board meetings are typically on weekday mornings.
Several members of the far-right Proud Boys group also attended the rally, which was addressed by Joey Gibson, the founder of the far-right Vancouver-based Patriot Prayer.
Gibson urged protesters to start showing up at the homes of local public health officials who are planning to create "concentration camps." He said demonstrators "should not commit any acts of violence — we're not at that point right now."
The Board of Health includes state Secretary of Health Dr. Umair A. Shah and nine volunteer members appointed by the governor — including physicians, epidemiologists and public health officials. Generally, the board serves as a public forum, prepares statewide health reports to the governor every other year and adopts a variety of health-related rules from school immunizations to disease reporting to environmental hazards.
Misinformation and misunderstandings
The misinformation about quarantines appeared to flow by either deliberate distortion or mere misunderstanding of existing powers granted to local health departments.
The health board agenda item that inflamed so many was about updating the state's codes to reflect the Legislature's passage in 2020 of House Bill 1551, which generally modernized the state's control of communicable disease laws and was designed to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS and other serious or potentially fatal sexually transmitted diseases.
Under the law, a state or local public health officer can investigate someone if they have "reason to believe" the person has a serious, sexually transmitted disease and is knowingly putting the public's health at risk. If the health officer finds the allegations are true and the person continues to endanger public health, the officer can issue a health order requiring medical testing or counseling, or restricting certain behaviors for up to 12 months.
People under investigation can file an appeal and appear at a hearing in which only a Superior Court judge can order them into isolation or quarantine. Anyone who violates an approved health order could be guilty of a gross misdemeanor and receive up to a year of confinement or probation.
One Republican legislator said he sought to tamp down the false claims this week upon hearing an uproar from alarmed constituents.
"We need to make sure we squelch quickly the misinformation that anybody is going to go around and arrest anybody or detain anybody — certainly not an armed militia that is going to drag you out of your door," said state Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview.
Thousands of participants joined the virtual board meeting Wednesday morning, many of whom appeared to still be confused about the day's agenda. One board staffer typed in the chat window that within the first two hours, more than 2,000 comments had poured into the meeting's Q&A chat window.
"There's been some very inaccurate social media posts, which have been put out there falsely identifying a couple of topics that people claimed that we would be addressing today," Grellner said when he began the meeting.
He repeated that the agenda, which was posted online publicly last week, includes an update, not action, from the state's immunization technical advisory group — which formed in October 2021 to research whether a COVID-19 vaccine would meet all the scientific criteria needed to be added to the list of required K-12 immunizations.
The nine criteria address vaccine effectiveness, disease burden and implementation, meaning the advisory group is tasked with investigating the COVID shots' efficacy and affordability, the morbidity of the disease and the reality of delivering and tracking shots.
The 18-person group, which has met once, remains early in its research process. Leading the research effort is board vice chair Dr. Tom Pendergrass and state science officer Dr. Tao Kwan-Gett.
Staff members are currently in the process of scheduling future meetings and compiling data from the state Department of Health, Samantha Pskowski, policy adviser for the Board, said in the Wednesday update.
The next few meetings are expected to convene between now and March, Pskowski said. Once the advisory group finalizes its recommendation, it will present its findings to the board at a future, regularly scheduled meeting.
"I just want to emphasize … that this is just a single step in a multistep process. The technical advisory group is just that — it's technical, focusing on the science and the data, and it's advisory, meaning we'll only make recommendations to advise the Board of Health," Kwan-Gett said.
Pendergrass offered a reminder that adding a new vaccine is no slam-dunk — the board has turned down recommendations for vaccines in the "near past," including vetoing a full requirement of the meningococcal vaccine.
While some education advocates, including the Seattle School Board, have come out in favor of a mandate for school COVID-19 vaccinations, Inslee has expressed doubts, saying recently he worries such a move would prompt many parents to pull their children out of schools.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last summer approved Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for people 16 and older, making it the first of three COVID shots available in the U.S. to be upgraded from an emergency use authorization (EUA) to full approval.
For children aged 12 to 15, the vaccine can still be administered under an EUA, as well as third doses for certain immunocompromised individuals. The Johnson & Johnson and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines still await FDA approval but remain available for adults under an EUA.
In the interview, Grellner said he was disheartened by the largely misinformation-driven furor.
"It's scary and sad. What's even scarier and sadder, if it can be, is that, you know, people are so willing to accept this stuff as fact, and they won't even take the time to look at information when it's available to determine whether it's true," he said.

Cellum Global partners with Indonesia's Telkom group
Tuesday, January 30, 2018, 15:59
Hungarian mobile payment company Cellum Global signed a strategic cooperation and investment agreement with Metranet, the digital services unit of Indonesia's leading telecommunications group Telkom, in Budapest on Tuesday, according to local reports.
Under the agreement, Telkom Indonesia will acquire a 30.4% stake in Cellum in two steps and ensure the company's expansion on the Indonesian market. Operative control of Cellum will remain with the company's current management.
Cellum Global Chairman-CEO János Kóka did not disclose the scale of Telkom's injection in Cellum, citing local capital market rules, but claimed it is the biggest investment on the Hungarian FinTech market and ensures Cellum can finance its growth.
"For Cellum, the agreement is an important milestone," Kóka was quoted as saying by online news portal napi.hu. "It is much more than a significant financial investment. Telkom already chose Cellum's FinTech platform for its business services earlier, but today the leading company on Indonesia's infocommunications market has committed itself fully to our cooperation. The partnership enables us to raise our business activities to a higher level in Indonesia and the region," he added.
"Telkom plays a leading role in the digital transformation of Indonesia, of which financial technology is an indispensable element," said Joddy Hernady, vice president for media and digital services at Telkom Indonesia. "Cellum's platform offers a secure basis for us to launch up-to-date FinTech services which make our customers' lives easier, and signify new business opportunities for our corporate partners."
"When business people in Central Europe look to enter important foreign markets, typically they think of Western countries," observed Kóka. "Our industry is different, however: currently the world's most rapidly expanding FinTech market is Southeast Asia."
Cellum's FinTech platform is already used by Indonesia's state motorway management agency's digital toll payment system in test operation, Hungarian news agency MTI cited Kóka as saying. Cellum will spend the invested capital on product development and innovation, including development of banking and telecommunication services, developing blockchain technologies and market development in Indonesia, MTI added.
