Q: How can I list all methods of all imported classes in a file using Java? My objective is to look at some lines of codes of an external file and count the number of functions of a class are called then.
For example, if I have the following code:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import whatever.MyClass;
import java.util.ArrayList;
...
...
public void example(){
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader (whatever);
    MyClass object = new MyClass();
    someArrayList.add(whatever2)
    someArrayList.add(whatever3)
}

In this case, BufferedReader and MyClass functions were called once, and ArrayList functions were called twice.
My solution for that is get a list of all methods inside the used classes and try to match with some string of my code.
For classes created in my project, I can do the following:
jar -tf jarPath

which returns me the list of classes inside a JAR . And doing:
javap -cp jarPath className

I can get a list of all methods inside a JAR whit a specific class name. However, what can I do to get a external methods names, like add(...) of an "external" class java.util.ArrayList?
I can't access the .jar file of java.util.ArrayList correct? Anyone have another suggestion to reach the objective?

A: The compiler doesn't put the imports into the object file. It throws them away. Import is just a shorthand to the compiler.(Imports are a compile-time feature ).
first step :
use Qdox  https://github.com/paul-hammant/qdox   to get all the imports in a class :
String fileFullPath = "Your\\java\\ file \\full\\path";
JavaDocBuilder builder = new JavaDocBuilder();
builder.addSource(new FileReader( fileFullPath  ));

JavaSource src = builder.getSources()[0];
String[] imports = src.getImports();

for ( String imp : imports )
{
    System.out.println(imp);
}

second step :
inspire from that code , loop through your imports (String array) and apply the same code and you will get the methods .
 import java.lang.reflect.Method;
 import java.util.ArrayList;
 import java.util.Arrays;
 import java.util.List;

  public class Tes {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Class c;
    try {
        c = Class.forName("java.util.ArrayList");
        Arrays.stream(getAccessibleMethods(c)).
                              forEach(System.out::println);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public static Method[] getAccessibleMethods(Class clazz) {
    List<Method> result = new ArrayList<Method>();
    while (clazz != null) {
        for (Method method : clazz.getDeclaredMethods()) {
            result.add(method);
        }
        clazz = clazz.getSuperclass();
    }
    return result.toArray(new Method[result.size()]);
}
}

Output :
  public void java.util.ArrayList.add(int,java.lang.Object)
  public boolean java.util.ArrayList.add(java.lang.Object)
  public boolean java.util.ArrayList.remove(java.lang.Object)
  public java.lang.Object java.util.ArrayList.remove(int)
  public java.lang.Object java.util.ArrayList.get(int)
  public java.lang.Object java.util.ArrayList.clone()
  public int java.util.ArrayList.indexOf(java.lang.Object)
  public void java.util.ArrayList.clear()
  .
  .
  .

All the code - one class :
  import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
  import java.io.FileReader;
  import java.lang.reflect.Method;

A: You may look into OpenJDK project that has a Java compiler. Learn to build the modified versions. Investigate the syntax analysis layer of this compiler and find where the method calls are handled. Put the logging into these locations and now you only need to build your java file with the modified compiler to get the information about the calls.
The build is complex, but you will likely only need a careful editing in a few files. It is not exactly very low hanging fruit but I think it should be possible to discover these files and make changes in them, and still may be a simpler/cleaner approach than to implement the own Java syntax parser (also doable with JavaCC).
If you also need to track calls from the external libraries, build them with the modified compiler as well and you will have the needed records.
GNU Classpath is another open source project where you can do the similar thing, and it may be easier to build. However, unlike OpenJDK, GNU Classpath java system library is not complete.
This approach may not discover some methods called during reflection. But it would discover that reflection framework methods have been called. If it is a security - related project, the simplest would be to agree that reflection is not allowed. It is uncommon to use reflection in a normal Java application that is not a framework.

El Gran Premio de Yugoslavia de Motociclismo de 1970 fue la tercera prueba de la temporada 1970 del Campeonato Mundial de Motociclismo. El Gran Premio se disputó el 24 de mayo de 1970 en el Circuito de Opatija.

Resultados 500cc
En 500 c.c., el gran dominador de la categoría Giacomo Agostini volvió a demostrar su enorme calidad al ganar la carrera y doblando a absolutamente todos sus contrincantes. El australiano Terry Dennehy pudo disputarle a Agostini el liderato durante un tiempo con la Honda CB 450, pero también tuvo que detenerse por problemas con las bujías.

Resultados 350cc
En la salida de 350 cc, la Benelli de Gilberto Parlotti y Kel Carruthers fueron las mejores, seguidas de Kent Andersson ( Yamaha ) y Giacomo Agostini (MV Agusta). Andersson volvió a caer al cuarto lugar, pero los Benelli se mantuvieron por delante: Carruthers (con un hueso roto en el pie después de su caída en la carrera de 250cc en Le Mans) por delante de Parlotti. Parlotti, sin embargo, cayó, rompiendo su pedal de cambio. La caja de cambios Carruthers comenzó a tambalearse y Agostini se aprovechó de ello para empezar a imponer su ritmo y marcharse dos segundos por vuelta. Detrás de ellos hubo nuevamente una lucha entre Martti Pesonen (Yamaha), Silvio Grassetti (Jawa) y Rodney Gould (Yamaha). Andersson se retiró a mitad de la carrera cuando su motor solo funcionaba con un cilindro, por lo que Grassetti y Pesonen lucharon por el tercer lugar. Esta pelea fue ganada por Grassetti.

Resultados 250cc
En el cuarto de litro, el español Santiago Herrero se impuso. A pesar de que hizo unos entrenamientos muy flojos y que salió por detrás las Yamaha de Rodney Gould, Kel Carruthers y Kent Andersson. Pero el español empezó una persecución en la que adelantó a Andersson, y se ve beneficiado por los problemas mecánicos de los otros dos. De hecho, Carruthers gripó el motor en la última vuelta y cuando marchaba líder.

Resultados 125cc
En 125 cc., Ángel Nieto y su Derbi dominaban la carrera a la perfección y rodaban con diez segundos de ventaja sobre sui más inmediato perseguidor Dieter Braun. Pero una obstrucción en el tubo de la gasolina le impidió finiquitar la carrera y finalmente el alemán se impuso per menos de un segundo de ventaja.

Resultados 50cc
En la categoría de menor ciclindrada, la carrera estuvo dominada por Ángel Nieto, que tan solo cedió en las tres primeras vueltas el liderato a Jos Schurgers. Jan de Vries pasó a su compañero de equipo Schurgers y Aalt Toersen pasó a su compañero de equipo Martin Mijwaart cuando su motor comenzó a funcionar mal.

Doncaster Rovers Belles
Belles for all
Scargill enjoying being back
donnybelles
Sophie Scargill says the Belles squad are buzzing to be back in action after ending a six-week hiatus from the game with a 3-3 draw at Sporting Khalsa on Sunday.
With the FAWNL Division One Midlands league on hold due to the second national lockdown the game was the Belles' first competitive outing since October.
Scargill said: "It has been amazing to be back, that month for me was probably good because I'd fractured an ankle in September and it gave me a chance to recover and go again. We all missed it and were buzzing to be back in training last week.
"It will be nice to get back at home next weekend and hopefully we can have some fans in, I know we had a couple of people down at Sporting Khalsa - and the bell was there when we scored - but it took a bit more from us to get behind each other because we didn't have the backing we usually have."
Scargill felt the heavy rain and wind which persisted during the match prevented the Belles from finding their rhythm, and saw the result as a point gained after a last-gasp equaliser from Nadia Khan.
She added: "The conditions were horrible and it was hard to get the ball down, if it wasn't so wet and intense we may have been able to play our game better - but you've got to deal with it and they were in the exact same conditions for each side.
"I'm buzzing to get a point in the end, the goal was with pretty much the last kick of the game when it looked like we may have not got anything. We should have probably taken our chances a bit better in the first half when they came, but it is what it is and we go again."

Past Executive Director of the AL Democratic Party Speaks
Jim Spearman has a long and important experience in Alabama Democratic politics. For six years, ending in 2011, Jim served as the Executive Director of the Alabama Democratic Party. He was also Vice Chair of the Alabama Democratic Party from 1998 to 2013 and is a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee.
Addressing the current state of the party and concerns about it, he noted that the party has always been changing. What's happening now is simply one more step in that ongoing evolution. To make his point, he traced the history of the party. The Alabama Democratic Party is the oldest party in the state and one of (if not the) oldest in the country. He mentioned transitions of the party from the era of 'The Big Mules' to the party as one that championed the needs of all Alabamians.
He discussed the creation of the Alabama Democratic Conference. In 1972 the ADC became the Black caucus with its president, Joe Reed, as the Alabama Democratic Party's vice chair for minority affairs. Recent changes reflect the increasing diversity of population within the state. With that diversity comes a need to adjust representation. The revised bylaws, approved by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), make those adjustments.
The new caucuses don't, as some feared, reduce representation of blacks. Membership of the new caucuses is heavily black. Instead, these new caucuses make the SDEC more inclusive, with representation of other minorities. Especially important is inclusion of younger Alabamians, who were severely underrepresented in the SDEC until now. It is noteworthy that, under these changes, the SDEC elected the first-ever an African-American chair, with the vice chair a member of the LGBTQ community. It is now time to move forward together.
Chair Sheila Gilbert, Jim Spearman and Dee Crumly

I Am Setsuna
I Am Setsuna introduces the authentic JRPG style of yesteryear to Nintendo Switch™! Journey with Setsuna as she prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice and save the people of her land. A powerfully nostalgic experience, blending a classic style of story-telling, battle system and gameplay.
I've wanted the Nintendo Switch since I first heard about it last October 2016. The system launched in March 2017, but it immediately sold out everywhere. …
I'm very close to beating I Am Setsuna on the Nintendo Switch. The Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) was developed by Tokyo RPG Factory and published by Square Enix and came out on PS4, PS Vita, and PC in 2016, but I bought it on the Switch because there's a lack of RPG games on this very young handheld / console hybrid.
After 12 hours playing Setsuna, I have to say that the developer was clearly inspired by the classic Final Fantasy 3 (6 for Japan) and Chrono Trigger. While I do love those type of games, I forgot how tiresome grinding (leveling up your characters) can be. I don't really want to spend hours and hours beating the same enemies so I can grow stronger for the next area.... but it's something you have to do in these type of games.
The other thing that I got really tired of is having to read and read tons of text. I just kept spamming the 'A' button until it stops, often skipping over key clues and directions. Maybe it's great storytelling back in the '90s, but games have progressed so much in the modern age. I wish they'd just hire someone to read the dialog or just let players skip over the sequence (or maybe just have it autoplay).
Graphically, it's a huge upgrade over the old JRPG games, and looks beautiful. Unfortunately, the entire story takes place on a frozen, snowy island, so it's white snow everywhere. It got tiresome after a while.
The game, maybe just in the Switch version, but it also sometime had bad bugs. Sometime the right sequences wouldn't trigger, forcing you to replay certain scenes again. Sometime it's not always clear what the game wants you to do, so I had to sometime look up walkthroughs to understand what the developers had intended.
There's a lot of problems with this game, so I can't really recommend it unless you're a big JRPG fan, or if you can get it on a discount (it's currently on sale on Steam).
Beautiful character designs
Classic JRPG mechanics
Great soundtrack by Tomoki Miyoshi
Repetitive battles
Infrequent save locations in dungeons
Unskippable long dialogue

Forget everything you know about The Legend of Zelda games. Step into a world of discovery, exploration, and adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a boundary-breaking new game in the acclaimed series. Travel across vast fields, through forests, and to mountain peaks as you discover what has become of the kingdom of Hyrule in this stunning Open-Air Adventure. Now on Nintendo Switch, your journey is freer and more open than ever. Take your system anywhere, and adventure as Link any way you like.
Whenever I'm over at someone's house, and we tried different games on the Nintendo Switch, the easiest game universally that everyone can play and have fun is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's just a fun little kart game. The more I use it, I'm convince the Switch (especially with the Joy Cons) is just a really nice system that you and a friend can play locally.
As for accomplishments, I finally got around to beating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I clocked in about 80 hours when I beat it, and now I'm just casually going back in the game to look for all 120 shrines or finishing all the side quests. The game is big, that's for sure, but I have a feeling that it's time to move on to another game. There is an upcoming expansion for Zelda, but I'm not sure I'm ready to pay another $20 to go back grinding in that world.
As far as I'm concern, Zelda: Breath of the Wild this is a perfect ten game. I'm saddened to see that it barely cracked the top 50 on Game Informer Magazine's Top 100 RPG.... but I suppose it's not a traditional, classic Role Playing Gaming.
What is lovely about the game is the sense of discovery. The game doesn't explain anything to you - and it's intentional - you just have to figure out some things on your own.
If you're new to the game, here are some tips:
You need 13 hearts to receive the Master Sword.
To get through the lost woods, just follow the wind (watch your torch!)
All weapons break... This was a design choice, as it made sure you try and use different weapons.
In a thunderstorm, don't equip metal weapons as you'll get struck by lightning.
The best recipe is cooking a truffle with rice, two easily accessible ingredients.
Always carry a sledgehammer to fight against rock creatures or break rocks.
Use swords or axes to cut down trees and harvest bundle of woods.
To create fire, you'll need a flint and wood. Strike it with your arrow or sword to create fire.
Want to get across rivers but don't have a boat or a giant leaf (or you don't have the stamina)? You can use your ice power to create blocks of ice to jump on. It's a slow process, but you'll eventually get across.
Buy as much arrows as you can afford.
To fight against giant rock foes, the only way to damage them is hitting their weak point (usually on the back of the rock). In order to reach its back, the best strategy I've found is to temporary freeze them with your timer and run behind them to shoot an arrow at their weak spot. Use explosive arrows, it causes more damage to rocks.
Guardians are weak against Ancient armor and weapons. If you don't have the tech, the best way to defeat them is to time your shield right or hit them directly in the eye with your bow. You can also cut off their legs to keep them stationary.

Last week my PlayStation Network account got hacked/compromised. The person removed my email and added his or her email and took $50 from my bank account (that is tied to my account …
As a part of last weekend's Wizard World Minneapolis, the kind folks at NewEgg gave us a hands-on demo with the latest in Virtual Reality technology, HTC Vive, and this is truly the future to come. …
Well if you're in the same boat and want a game that is meatier, you need to check out Dragon Age: Inquisition. …
I've wanted the Nintendo Switch since I first heard about it last October 2016. The system launched in March 2017, but it immediately sold out everywhere. Now that Nintendo ramped up their production, you can get their console at any major retail stores now.
To give you a little background, I've own every Nintendo system except for the Wii and Wii U (the original Nintendo, SNES, N64, and the cute GameCube), so we love Nintendo. It's just that I somehow outgrew Nintendo and didn't want to play games using motion.
Anyway, with the Nintendo Switch, this is a hybrid handheld and game console.... meaning it will fit to your preference. Their "Joy-Cons" (joystick controllers) can detach, and using accessories, it can adapt to games. The best part about the modular controller is that the left and right joy cons can become two single controllers if you hold it vertically - so basically you can have two controllers if you need it. There's also a motion chip built into the controller, meaning that you can play it Wii-style.
The problem with modern mobile phone games is that your fat fingers always gets in the way of the screen. With dedicated buttons and mini-joysticks (and not to mention vibration rumbling), playing games on the Switch is a much better experience.
The biggest problem isn't that the tablet is underpowered, but that it's really expensive. It costs as much as a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One ($299). If you throw in $30, you can even grab the current New iPad, which does more than just gaming. Nintendo can bring down the price if they unbundle the TV Dock, which I have rarely used. I don't think anyone who owns a Switch uses it as a television gaming console. Graphic-wise, the Switch doesn't even compare to the worst-looking PS4 games, but if you're playing it on handheld, you can forgive the lower graphics on a small screen.
If Nintendo just sell the tablet and Joy-Cons, they can probably get away with a retail price of $199 or less, so they can compete against Sony.
Speaking of expensive, their games are also expensive. Major titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 are $59.99 each.... but man, these Nintendo exclusive games are so fun and I will begrudgingly say it's worth the money. Zelda, as far as I'm concern, is a perfect 10 game. It's right up there with Skyrim, Fallout 1-4, Icewind Dale, Pillars of Eternity, and Dragon Age.
At the moment, there aren't many games for the system, so if you're thinking of picking up the Switch, I would say wait until July when Splatoon 2 is released. Or when they bundle a free game (I strongly feel that their two player-only game 1-2-Switch should be free) with the console or discount it around Christmas 2017.
My other complaint is that Nintendo said that they will start charging a reoccurring fee to play online. Both Xbox Live and PSN does this with their Gold and Plus services... which I have to admit is not worth the money (especially if you only game solo). With Nintendo joining in on this so-called "service", count me out. Nintendo simply has the worst online presence, no lobby, and its "friend's code" is a terrible way to add a friend. Plus, it currently has two online services: Nintendo eShop and Miiverse.
My next game I will buy will be Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers (which just came out). It's a 25-year-old game, but at a very expensive price of $40. Just for comparison, I recently paid less for The King of Fighters XIV for the PS4 (on SteelBook!) for $29.99.
Recommended games:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Street Fighter II (will be purchasing)
Not Recommended:
1-2 Switch
Grip accessory
Looking forward to these games:
Monster Hunter XX
Mario & Rabbids
Syberia 3
Virtual Console (retro NES/SNES games)
Video Services (Netflix, YouTube, etc.)
Since the Switch allow storage expansion using a normal MicroSD, I plan on buying the largest card I can afford and will be getting all my games on digital. The reason for this is that I just don't want to carry around a bag of game cards... unfortunately, the drawback is that I can't re-sell my old used game.

I held a vigil at the Maine state capitol for Robert LaVoy Finicum, I brought my rifle down to the Maine state capitol after advertising this event all week.
Of course the cops came, I had 5 cops surrounding me. They were nice, but they spent a lot of police time and resources to harass me over exercising my rights.
As I told the cops, they have no more rights than I do, and they also have guns in public being openly displayed.
Anyway, a few things came out of this. I was able to educate the police on civil rights, 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment and 5th Amendment.
I recorded the exchange, and I sent it to the police department superiors, and the city council of Augusta Maine.
All of this was to honor the memory of a fallen hero, I will never forget Robert LaVoy Finicum. My life has forever changed because of his sacrifice. It was NOT in vain that LaVoy gave his life.
I wanted to inform you today of an incident at the state house today, involving a vigil that I was holding for Robert LaVoy Finicum that was killed by FBI and other law enforcement agents last week on 01/26/2016.
I had the cops surround me AND detain me today for simply having a weapon. They also had weapons, and we all have the same rights. A badge doesn't grant extra rights.
I wanted to inform you that it is NOT legal to detain someone, UNLESS they have been suspected of a crime. Carrying a weapon does not qualify as a crime, or even a potential crime.
So I do not believe the officers detaining me was legal or constitutionally justifiable.
I will give your officers credit for being nice. But I will not agree that detaining someone for having a gun is legit. I carry my rifle all of the time. I told Sgt Jason Cote, Lt. Read, and Sgt. Shaw that I do this.
Hell cars are FAR more dangerous and unpredictable than a rifle is. So if the police are worried about the danger factor, than please be fair and pull over every car for a terry stop. But you can see how silly that is, right?
But look at how many cars kill people compared to guns. There are far more deaths due to cars, than guns.
Anyway, it's no secret, I carry my weapon, and it is my right to do so. Just like it is the right of the police officers. They truly do not have any more rights than I do, regarding guns.
A police officer can not detain a person if I have not committed a crime, or if I have not been suspected of committing a crime.
Thanks for understanding, I will be carrying my weapon. I am not a threat. I am just exercising my rights.

Live Aid: The Day That United The World Through Music
On July 13, 1985, Live Aid, the dual concert at Wembley Stadium and JFK Stadium featured some of the greatest musical performances in history and I was there to witness it.
Photo: Mike Cameron/Redferns
It still seems like madness that Bob Geldof and Midge Ure announced their audacious scheme for a live concert to aid the Ethiopian famine effort. And not just one concert, but two, one at London's iconic Wembley Stadium and the other at Philadelphia's John F Kennedy Stadium on July 13, 1985. There were 72,000 at the London Live Aid concert and 100,000 at the Philadelphia Live Aid show, but these numbers were dwarfed by the estimated 1.9 million people watching on TV from 130 countries around the world.
I was one of the 72,000 in Wembley and arrived early, determined not to miss a single thing and at midday, the first thing was the Band of the Coldstream Guards playing "God Save The Queen," which seemed not at all out of place – it was that kind of day. Follow that! And follow it Status Quo did with appropriately, "Rockin' All Over The World."
Following Quo was a series of bands that were very much of the moment – there was The Style Council, Paul Weller's band, Bob Geldof's Boomtown Rats got an enthusiastic welcome and a great version of "I Don't Like Mondays" in which he purposely stopped after singing the line, "The lesson today is how to die." It brought everyone up with a jolt and reminded us why we were there.
Phot: Pete Still/Redferns
Adam Ant, Ultravox, Spandau Ballet and Bernard Butler had played and it was still only 2 pm. Elvis Costello singing "All You Need Is Love" was another poignant moment and then it was Nik Kershaw, followed by Sade who was one of many highlights.
Shortly after 3 pm Sting took to the stage and had Phil Collins with him on drums. Their set was a mixture of Police and Collins's solo songs. As soon as they finished Collins was whisked to Heathrow to catch Concorde (remember that iconic aircraft?) because he was to appear on stage in Philadelphia that evening.
In the next hour there was Howard Jones, Brian Ferry, with Dave Gilmour on guitar, Paul Young and U2. At 6 pm Dire Straits did "Money For Nothing" with Sting on vocals and finished with "Sultans of Swing" – a real crowd-pleaser, and never sounding better.

And then it was Queen. I had not seen the band play live since the early 1970s at Ewell Tech. in Surrey at one of their very earliest gigs where they were supporting Kevin Ayers, Flying Fortress (they were supposed to be the next big thing at the time?) and Genesis – to be honest, Queen had lost me somewhere along the way. Of course, I loved "Bohemian Rhapsody" but that was about it. It all changed that day in Wembley, I finally got Queen. like everyone else in the stadium I was word perfect on "We Are the Champions."
I knew David Bowie would be great and he was, particularly on "Heroes." The Who were far from polished, but it did not matter. Their set was typically barnstorming and by the time it closed with "Won't Get Fooled Again," everyone was on their feet and loving it.
It was all beginning to reach its climax and there was much talk in the stadium as to whether we would see the remaining three Beatles perform. Just before 9 pm Elton John took to the stage and was in brilliant form. His duet with Kiki Dee on "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" pleased everyone as did "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" on which he dusted with George Michael.
Shortly before 10 pm Freddie Mercury and Brian May did "Is This The World We Created." It was another one of those moments that made us all think. Then it was the finale. It turned out to be Paul McCartney with not George and Ringo, but Bob Geldof, David Bowie, Alison Moyet and Pete Townshend. The concert was then closed with everyone joining in to sing "Do They Know It's Christmas." It couldn't have ended any other way.

Probably like many I rushed home to see the TV coverage from the USA. The first thing I saw was Phil Collins with Eric Clapton. They were followed by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, with Collins on drums. Their set closed with "Stairway to Heaven" – what else? Then in quick succession, there was Duran Duran, MTV had made them huge stars in America, Patti Labelle and Hall & Oates. It was Duran Duran's last performance for nearly 20 years.
Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin from The Temptations had joined Hall & Oates on stage and all four of them were joined by Mick Jagger and Tina Turner during which Jagger did "Miss You" and "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll."
Rather than the Stones performing together, Keith and Ronnie Wood accompanied Bob Dylan; all three have had better days at the office, particularly after his Bobness broke a guitar string and Ronnie had to give him his guitar; while he waited for a new one Wood played air-guitar in the style of Pete Townshend. Just as in the UK the show closed with the charity song that had kick-started the whole affair, for America this was, "We Are The World."
I've relived Live Aid by watching the DVD, seen some of those that I missed from the US performance, and like with every live show there were things that seemed better on the day than on the TV. I am reminded that it really was a case of the 80s meets rock royalty, and I cannot help thinking that for some of the artists, whose star has waned a little, it must feel surreal. For me, it was a long day, but a great day and I still feel privileged to say – I was at Live Aid.

I was at the Philly show. The hightlights for me was Eric Clapton w/Phil Collins, a Colllins set then Collins with Zepplin. Jagger and Tina Turner were good and so was Hall & Oates. The video and sound from the London show was very good. The low lights? The temperature. It was a sunny day, no shade, and in the mid 90's and water was scarce. The extracurricular substances did not help alleviate that misery and perhaps made it worse. Toilets were broken off and flooded the few bathrooms that JFK Stadium had with water up over my ankles. Most fun I ever had at a concert.

I went to the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia 1985, All by my self from Toronto Canada Cause there is no way I would have miss it for the world. The Greats Concert I have ever been in my life time.
I had to go to a wedding that day and I got my parents to record the whole day! Much to my surprise they did!
Susan Ann Austen.
I was there, unforegettable.I also got to meet
" Queen "
Jhacel
What a great experience for you. Thanks for sharing this. I wish i was also at Live Aid that time
Richard Fairbairn
1.9 Billion not Million
Other than that, great article
Honestly, there was QUEEN's performance and then everyone else. They were far and away the best!!!
Derek Usher
Loved it at the famous old Wembley stadium and took my wife, daughter and friend along for the whole amazing day! We still talk about it every year (around July) and bore our younger friends stupid with accounts of that fab day!!! – My wife and I are now 74 yrs old btw- but still rocking on!!!!
TheDreamerC0meth
Don't forget that Tony Thompson (drummer in Chic as in Le Freak) was also drumming with Led Zep that day.
Rick Erickson
Best day in the history of rock imo!still watch the DVD set. Inspired my teenage son to learn to play guitar, and he is playing Dire Straits, Zeppelin, Clapton, etc. Most of the teens I know who play guitar focus on this era.
michael gilchrease
a big deal for the time….unfortunately it lead a string of charity concerts that didnt give very much…at the time a few days afterward the total of 5000000 was raised for african relief…sadly the real amount was under 2000000….so yea the gluttony of rock and roll starved alot of our brothers and sister….sad that a specticle is more important that a life of a child that is hungry..just hungry

I was at JFK. Eric Clapton and Tom Petty were superb. You don't often hear about the seats deteriorating and shards of fiberglass stuck in you ass for days afterwards. Or how the men's bathrooms were coed (even the urinals) because of the long lines at the women's bathrooms. And how you had to walk through raw sewage that poured over the walkways from the bathrooms. And that damn hot sun was a killer. But the music was great and I would do it all over again.
Phil Collins didn't play drums on Stings set. Nobody played drums on Stings set.
Linda Kittler
IMHO, there's Dire Straits and then there's everyone else. An awful lot of talent in Wembley Stadium that day, but I think Dire Straits's performance stands the test of time better than the others. Don't hate me; just my opinion!
Chris O Sullivan
I was in London on holidayChris the day of Live Aid but unfortunately couldn`t attend the concert. The standout band was of course Queen. Other great performances on that day came from U2, David Bowie, The Who and Dire Straits. Truly an unforgettable day in music history.
Bob Hutt
I recall driving to Wembley around 7am that day, I think they opened the turnstiles at 10 and it was a sprint to the front. We were a few feet from the stage for around 13 hours. An incredible day of joy and emotion which I frequently re-live watching videos with my kids who weren't born then. The one thing the videos cant give you is the incredible INCREDIBLE atmosphere that day. Far and away the most memorable day of my life.


The month of fashion week as we take New York, London, Milan and Pariee.
Think french frolicking, city showstopping and a touch of British sass.
Autumnal trends, suedes, cords and of course faux fur.
Think look books, red lips and the September issue.
Fresh beginnings, and new starts.
OH GOD! Love the planner :3 I'm addicted to planners right now, I bought one some time ago and I'm so in love!!!

Adolph Hitler Wins Primary in Illinois
March 22nd. 2018
Chicago, Illinois:
Adolf Hitler, a Holocaust denier described as a Nazi by the Illinois Republican Party, won the Republican primary on Tuesday in the state's Third Congressional District.
Hitler, 128 yrs old, unsuccessfully sought the nomination five times before, but his victory on Tuesday was a foregone conclusion after the Republican Party failed to draft another candidate to enter the race against him.
RFN reporter Andy Mocksham was able to talk to Hitler and asked him how it was possible for him to win a GOP primary.
"Even though I am a dead man Mocksham, I won the primary because the Republican Party screwed up big time."
"No one ran against me the last time I ran for public office and won back in the 1930's either."
The Illinois Republican Party has sought to distance itself from Mr. Hitler in recent weeks, even though they ran no one against him.
"Adolph Hitler is not a real Republican. That is true. He is an old school Nazi whose bigoted, racist views have gained traction in our party's discourse," the Illinois Republican Party chairman Hans Himmler, said in a statement.
Mocksham asked whether Mr Hitler, who was born in Austria, is an illegal immigrant. Illinois GOP chairman Himmler replied;
"It does not matter because he is a Caucasian."

We have hit a detour on the moving road. Had planned to go to Michael's for Cami's spray glitter and then try to get dressers moved today. But Mark needed to turn off and go to the ER for a dialysis treatment. So the kids and I are just hanging out at the apartment. I suppose one could argue that a break from all the craziness isn't the worst thing in the world, and that Mark's health is of utmost importance. But, yeah.....still wish it didn't have to take an ENTIRE day!
Mark has been struggling with his fluid/sodium/phosphorus levels the past few weekends. We're busier than usual, having a lot to do by June 15, and we're not eating well and have strayed from our normal routines. Plus it's all a little stressful. Totally understandable while moving. But it's obviously taking a toll on Mark. Maybe I need to try to help him more. I simply HATE it when he doesn't feel as good as he can! And then icky thoughts creep into my head..... I literally have to tell myself to STOP thinking them. I wouldn't wish health problems on anyone.
Mark just told me he has to stay overnight. Of course! They always find a reason to keep him at least 1 night! Apparently they want to make sure it's not his heart because of his shortness of breath. I reminded him that this has been happening every weekend like clockwork lately, but he's fine the rest of the time. I guess the cardiologist said some certain levels were slightly elevated which could indicate a teeny, tiny little heart attack. So they want to recheck those levels first thing tomorrow morning. But they're also gonna have to take into consideration that tomorrow is his regular dialysis day too.
OK, I'm gonna have a selfish little meltdown here for a minute..... My plans, thoughts, ideas of how things will go in our lives are constantly getting screwed up! My Mother's Day was ruined cuz Mark had bronchitis and that was a very stressful time cuz we were also closing on the house. We had this huge fight over plans for yesterday, that Mark had things he wanted to do wtih his friends but I had obligated him to do something with kids. Well not only did he get to go shooting and hang out with friends yesterday, but he also hung out with John on Friday. I was hoping to get to sneak off to see Splice with Jessica tonight, but now I can't. Mark often thinks everything is conspiring against him and what he wants. Well, he's gonna have to revise that idea cuz it looks to me like it's ME who's getting shafted lately!!
See now, while I feel like that on one hand, on the other, he's still the one getting screwed with isn't he? He's the one with all the health problems and has to spend the night at the hospital, not me. I'm just visually impaired so I can't really keep doing the things I wanted to do today cuz I can't drive, and stuck at home cuz the kids need me. Whatever.
I'm missing my mom more than usual lately. It's going on a year since I've physically seen her and we really should talk on the phone more often. She mentioned possibly flying Cami down to see her in August, but I'm honestly not very happy with that idea. What about me? What about AJ? Is 2 years in a row really necessary? We don't really like going to Oregon 2 summers in a row. I know Washington isn't my mom and Doug's destination of choice. But I'm here. Shouldn't that be enough?
Things with my friends aren't getting any better. Actually I guess you could say they're worse. I had a debate with Roxy about Serra and Jessica this week that was really frustrating. I was very surprised by the things Roxy said to me. She may have also been surprised by the things I said to her. She defended Sierra and I defended Jessica. I never in a million years would have thought that would be the way things shook out. It's so disappointing to learn that something isn't the way you think it should be. Regardless, I feel I'm more right than Roxy cuz she doesn't really know all of what she speaks since she hasn't actually talked to Jess about it. And I don't think they're gonna talk about it any time soon since Roxy doesn't feel like it right now and Jess is hurt by the things Roxy is thinking. I decided to tell Jessica about my debate with Roxy after struggling with it overnight, and then hearing from Sierra that she does plan to come out for Roxy's birthday GNO. Once I knew that, I felt Jess should know so she wasn't ambushed the night of. Jessica is glad I filled her in, but I feel like it did exactly what I was worried it would do, which is only hurt her more. What's done is done I guess, and I've been told that I can't fix it. It's not for me to fix. I just wanna know one thing: why do some people have to be such jerks?
Guess I've also had a detour of the mind today!

California Punitive Damages: Prof. Dan Markel Previews Article: "Taxing Punitive Damages"
Prof. Dan Markel Previews Article: "Taxing Punitive Damages"
In this article, we address the important but astonishingly under-examined issues associated with the taxation law and policy related to punitive damages. For the most part, the tax consequences of punitive damages are not on anyone's minds, and as a result of this blind spot, plaintiffs and their lawyers are likely leaving enormous amounts of money on the table in every case involving punitive damages against defendants whose torts occurred in the context of business operations. Of course, even if we assumed that decision-makers regarding punitive damages were aware of the relevant tax effects, there are still a number of other important issues affecting whether a jurisdiction should make punitive damages a) deductible from defendants' gross income or non-deductible, and b) taxable gains to the plaintiff.
take account of one's marginal tax rate rather than simply make the punitive damages non-deductible. Moreover, because we think a lot of the difficulties associated with the taxation of punitive damages cannot be readily fixed simply by tweaking tax law, we sketch out in the last two parts of the Article a vision for what a more attractive punitive damages regime would look like, and how the tax rules would correspond appropriately.

Q: OpenProcess Access is denied for some users I have an application that opens another non-system 32-bit process and attempts to get a list of its loaded modules with EnumProcessModulesEx and path of each module with GetModuleFileNameEx. It works well in my development environment (Windows 10) and for many users that have tested the application. However, for some users (two users, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10) the OpenProcess() function fails with Access is denied (error code 5).
I am opening the process with PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ. Opening the process with PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION works, but then EnumProcessModulesEx will fail. According to my testing, both PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION and PROCESS_VM_READ, if used alone, will fail OpenProcess() for users with the mentioned issue. Also I believe PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ is required for EnumPorcessModulesEx, so trying with less access rights is not an option.
However, when the application is executed with "Run as administrator", this problem no longer occurs. OpenProcess() works and also the application works as expected.
The problem
hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, processid);

Works for most users, but returns error code 5, access is denied for some users of the application.
Partial solution
...is to run the application as administrator. OpenProcess() then works well.
Question
Why is access denied for some users when the application is executed without "Run as administrator"? Is there an alternative way to get a list of modules of another process without executing my application as administrator?

A: Have you checked the AdjustTokenPrivileges API?
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/10125867/ExitWindowsEx-AdjustTokenPrivileges-to-SE-SHUTDOWN-NAME.html
By default, even if the process is running elevated (as an administrator), some privileges are still disabled process-wise. To enable them, we need to call OpenProcessToken, LookupPrivilegeValue and AdjustTokenPrivileges APIs.
According to this page, SeDebugPrivilege (macro SE_DEBUG_NAME) is needed to do ReadProcessMemory (which requires PROCESS_VM_READ access).


CEDAR CITY – Utah prairie dogs will once again enjoy the protections of the federal government following a ruling this week by an appeals court that found a federal judge erred in his 2014 decision.
Attorneys for Iron County residents argued that the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution doesn't allow the federal government to regulate animals found on private land in only one state as is the case with Utah prairie dogs. The group requested relief from the federal protections provided under the Endangered Species Act.
U.S. District Judge Dee Benson from Utah ruled in the group's favor in 2014 finding that the Commerce Clause does not apply. Benson's ruling removed ESA protections and turned the management of the rodent population over to the state.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appealed the decision to a three-judge panel on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that the federal protections should be restored.
The three justices, two of whom are Obama appointees, unanimously overturned Benson's 2014 decision.
In Wednesday's ruling, the Denver-based appeals court said that the ESA is tied to interstate commerce, and if the act's protections were only applied to species living in multiple states, it would "leave a gaping hole" in the law.
"Congress had a rational basis to believe that regulation of the take of the Utah prairie dog on nonfederal land is an essential part of the ESA's broader regulatory scheme, which, in the aggregate, substantially affects interstate commerce," wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Jerome Holmes.
The Republican appointee noted that 68 percent of species protected under the ESA have habitats in only one state. Therefore, he argued, that if the federal government was only allowed to provide protection to those animals whose habitats cross state borders, it could "severely undercut" those protections.
Several environmental groups filed amicus briefs as friends of the court in support of the appeal arguing that Benson's ruling undermines the ESA.
In speaking with Cedar City News, Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity, applauded the ruling.
State and local officials argue, however, that the prairie dogs have thrived under a new state plan put into place by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources after Benson's ruling allowing biologists to remove the species off private property and put them on public lands within their own habitat.
State wildlife teams trapped and moved the prairie dogs before under federal regulations but the state plan streamlined the process, Greg Sheehan, director of DWR, told Cedar City News Friday.
"It was a win-win for everyone. Local communities, local governments and private property owners were all happy and the Utah prairie dogs were also thriving in their own habitat," Sheehan said.
According to information released by DWR Friday, Utah prairie dogs under state management reached the highest numbers counted since surveys started in 1976. DWR numbers show that in spring 2015 biologists estimated the prairie dog population at 92,894.
The numbers decreased to 82,685 in 2016 due to disease within the prairie dog population but, even then, that number reflected the second highest count on record.
For now, however, the counties will have to revert back to the previous habitat conservation plans they were following prior to Benson's 2014 ruling. Those plans allow for only a number of take permits per year.
The federal government also required payment for the permits.
Anticipating that the courts would overturn Benson's ruling, U.S. Fish and Wildlife recently drew up a general conservation plan that Sheehan said the counties can adopt or choose to use their own HCPs.
It is more restrictive and cumbersome, he added, than the state plan the counties have been operating under since 2014.
Sheehan is hopeful however, that the federal government will be open to working with DWR and implementing some of the strategies they used in the state plan to streamline the process.
This is crap. The way judges lie about the Constitution is beyond belief. Yes, I'm sure the Commerce Clause was intended to allow the federal government to regulate prairie dogs on private land.
so you hate prairie dogs or what?
Glad to hear about the 3 judge ruling. There is hope for the Utah Prairie Dog.

For Ugandan children, the true joy of Christmas doesn't come from any store. The true joy comes from family gatherings, going to church in your Sunday best and eating all you want from a once a year menu of chicken, rice, soda and cake.
But for many of our children living in poverty, Christmas is the same as any other day. Parents find it difficult to provide even the most basic foods.
Each year, Children of Grace holds a Christmas celebration for all our children. They come in their best, or maybe their mother's best, hear and participate in the Christmas story, play games, meet Santa and eat to their heart's content.

Skilled labor is in short supply as remodeling permits surge in Seattle
Posted byMelissa Crowe March 3, 2020 September 8, 2020 Posted inEditorial
Dreams of that new kitchen or second-story addition could be delayed for many homeowners and homebuyers in Seattle.
This year, the number of remodel permit applications is trending toward a five-year high, stoking demand for skilled labor that's already in short supply.
Buyers who are forced to take what they can get in the housing market have then found themselves in bidding wars for tradeworkers. Jason Legat, founder and president of Seattle-based Model Remodel, said in the past year his company has heard from 600 new leads, up from just 230 the year before, and it's on track to reach 800 this year.
"We're trying to hold the reins on growth," Legat said. "There's more work than there are people to do the work."
Given the competition, contractors in Seattle can easily earn up to $90 an hour and specialty trades command upwards of $150 an hour, Legat said. Federal labor data shows construction managers earn an annual wage of about $142,000 in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett region.
Model Remodel's projects range from $125,000 to $150,000 for kitchen overhauls or basement renovations. Second-story additions or accessory dwelling units, such as backyard cottages, can cost more than $400,000, he said.
To see a map of the activity, click here.
The Business Journal analyzed more than 17,000 addition and alteration permits across Seattle and found remodel activity has been on an upswing since at least 2013. The number of permit applications increased 31 percent from 2013 to 2017, and is on track to increase another 11 percent this year.
Homeowners and contractors filed applications for 1,520 permits for home remodels through May 1 this year, according to public records. The number of permits approved increased about 35 percent from 2013 to 2017.
Through May, the city had a 94 percent approval rating, green-lighting 1,422 remodel permits.
These permits include house additions or remodels, such as an extension or a modification, including second-story additions, dormers, footprint expansions, interior reconfigurations or house lifts. Permits aren't required to paint a house, repoint a chimney or replace roofing and siding if no structural changes are made. Projects with a value of less than $6,000 are often not included.
More remodel activity is going on in the Ravenna and Wedgwood neighborhoods — ZIP code 98115 — than any other neighborhood in Seattle every year going back to at least 2013, according to the city's permits for this type of project.
Over the five-year period, that area had more than 1,600 permit applications approved for remodel work. In 2017, the average value of the work was about $84,500 and reached as high as $450,000, according to public records.
In the 98177 ZIP code, which includes Broadview north up to Richmond Beach, 67 remodel permits were approved in 2017, up 76 percent from 2013. The average net worth in that area is $1.86 million.
Sabrina Booth, a Windermere real estate broker based in Seattle, works with average sellers and professional flippers on buying and selling homes in Seattle.
"I remember my parents telling me to buy the worst house in the neighborhood, and that you should fix it up and do the sweat equity," Booth said. "To get a house that's in really poor condition, most people have to pay straight cash."
But most first-time homebuyers don't have $400,000 cash, she said. Plus, they're competing with market-savvy investors.
She advises clients not to embark on large renovation projects, but smaller updates: painting in neutrals, updating lighting and plumbing fixtures or adding new mulch to a flowerbed.
"For the average home seller, don't spend a ton of money. Don't put in a brand-new kitchen or a brand-new bathroom because you won't see a return on investment in that short of time," Booth said. "… It's still worth putting some time and effort and money into getting your house to look its best, but it will sell in whatever condition."
At Model Remodel, Legat has noticed the change in clients.
"In the past, people would hire us to get the house ready for market," Legat said. "A lot of clients now are getting the houses ready for themselves so they can enjoy living in it."
He isn't expecting things to slow down anytime soon. In one year, the price of a basement remodel increased by $50,000. The lack of skilled labor and the demand for service puts companies like his in a premium position.
"I think we're going to continue — maybe not at this pace — but I don't see it slowing down unless there's some big catastrophe," Legat said. "Seattle's been discovered."

ACE frequently distorts the truth about science for its students. To make this possible, obviously the students can't have a proper understanding of the scientific method. Sure enough, if we look at what they're told, we see that students are misled about how science works.
In this article I am going to argue that Christian fundamentalism is not a faith position. The former Bishop of Edinburgh, Richard Holloway, declared, "the opposite of faith is not doubt, it is certainty." As their language and actions show, fundamentalists are absolutely certain.
We have a risen Christ, unquestionable proofs, and, as if we needed it, God has thrown in a host of unarguable evidences all around us!


I switched docs. She ordered more blood work. The ANA was still slightly elevated.
Then last year, I began having fainting spells. Nothing showed up on CT scan, ECG, Echo or Cartoid Duplex. There was a huge drop in BP and increase in pulse between sitting & standing. She said I may have a low fluid volume and also referred to a cardiologist (awaiting appt).
I've also had spells of muscle jerking and shakiness, and occassional difficulty with balance. I get out of breath and have chest pain climbing 1 flight of stairs. Only 2 months ago I could run up them no problem!
A few months ago I began to have menopause symptoms (I'm 32 yrs.). I had severe hot flashes, night sweats, acne, spotting, drastically swollen breasts, large weight gain, and hair loss. My OB/GYN put me on birth control.
The blood pressure thing rang big bells of recognition for me. I'm sorry I can't remember what the condition is called but I think it might be a metabolic condition. Anyway the way it is diagnosed is by putting people on a tilting table and measuring their blood pressure upright and then horizontal. A big difference between the two is used to diagnose this. I'll try and look around the internet and see if I can find details of this condition again so I can post it for you.
Found this - hope its useful. It was POTS I had been thinking of. a) Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance: Simply put, an individual with Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance experiences day-to-day symptoms including dizziness and often altered vision (blurred, 'white outs', 'black-outs'), fatigue, nausea, neurocognitive deficits, disordered thermoregulation, palpitations, high pulse low blood pressure, headache, tremulousness, hyperpnea, difficulty breathing, sweating, and pallor. For those who are afflicted with Orthostatic Intolerance, there is an excessive increase in heart rate upon standing, resulting in the cardiovascular system working harder to maintain blood pressure and blood flow to the brain. b) Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS): Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance is associated with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia is a syndrome. And as such, there is an array of symptoms that accompany it. Because the Autonomic Nervous System plays a large role in regulating certain functions throughout the body, the symptoms are widespread. Symptoms will vary from person to person and will include some of the following: palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, exercise intolerance, blurred vision, chest pain, high pulse low blood pressure, fainting, fatigue, migraines, blood pooling in limbs, cognitive impairment, gastric discomfort and sleep disorders among others. The onset of POTS often follows a viral infection or other inflammatory condition. It affects an unknown number of patients, mostly female, between the ages of 12 and 50. c) Neuropathy: The name Neuropathy is given to a group of disorders involving nerves. The symptoms range from a tingling sensation or numbness in the toes and fingers to paralysis. And it is estimated that 35 percent of persons with HIV disease have some form of neuropathy. Neuropathy is a problem in peripheral nerve function (any part of the nervous system except the brain and spinal cord) that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, and muscle weakness in various parts of the body. It may be caused by physical injury, infection, toxic substances, disease (e.g., cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, or malnutrition), or drugs such as anticancer drugs. It is also called peripheral neuropathy. Symptoms ]include disturbances of blood pressure, heart rate, or bladder and bowel control, muscle weakness, impotence; loss of balance; sensitivity to touch, tingling, extreme pain, reduced ability to perspire, constipation, bladder dysfunction, burning sensation, and inability to focus the eyes depending of which nerves are affected. It may be genetic or acquired and it can either progress slowly or quickly affecting some of the nerves or all of them causing loss of sensation and weakness. Some examples of Neuropathy are: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, polio and shingles. Injury, toxins and even vitamin deficiency have been identified as causes of Neuropathy.
Nope, it's likely not all in your head. Please do not let them tell you so if you know something's wrong with you.I had many of your symptoms and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Encephalopathy, a rare complication of autoimmune thyroiditis. It is diagnosed by checking thyroid ANTIBODIES- most patients have completely normal hormone levels... You might also have just the plain old thyroiditis without the encephalopathy... or Grave's disease.In any event, the stereotypical autoimmune patient is the 30 year old female. Chances are there is some kind of autoimmune disease (whether it's HE or thyroiditis or not) brewing in your body. I'd keep going to rheumatologists until one of them gives you a diagnosis (I had to go to 8 neurologists before they diagnosed me).Sorry you are going through this. Do not give up.
