Q: How can I show the characters only one time - python? a = aaabbbbccccdefklmopqwwxxxxxyyyyy
My question would be, what kind of code should I write in Python in order to:
b =abcdefklmopqwxy
so all characters should be appear only once. I am totally newbiew, any answer would be approriated.

A: Try this:
print("".join(sorted(set("aaabbbbccccdefklmopqwwxxxxxyyyyy"))))

Output:
abcdefklmopqwxy

As suggest in the comments by @Matthias you can get the job done with itertools, but this time the order is based on the original string.
import itertools
print(''.join(g[0] for g in itertools.groupby("aaabbbbccccdefklmopqwwxxxxxyyyyy")))

Output:
abcdefklmopqwxy

Q: How to change the background color of a TextView inside of an ActionMode I have a TextView inside of my action bar, like the following:

I have logic configured to make it overlay the Toolbar with an ActionMode when I long-press on an item in the associated ListView. This ends up looking like the following:

This is basically correct, except for the annoying background around the TextView title in the ActionMode.
I've tried quite a few things, from changing the Widget.ActionMode style in my styles.xml file, to actually setting the actionModeStyle to a specific style. Nothing seems to affect this TextView, though.
I have read through How to change ActionMode background color in Android but it doesn't seem like anything I do has an effect on this background.
Side Note: It would be really nice if there were some way to view the style hierarchy on an Android device as it's rendered. The hierarchy viewer gets me about 1/3 of the way there, but it doesn't have any style information. Anyone know of such a tool that I could use to debug this problem?
styles.xml (only relevant stuff):
<style name="Material" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="textHeaderMaxLines">@integer/text_header_max_lines</item>
    <item name="trackAbstractMaxLines">@integer/track_abstract_max_lines</item>
    <item name="activatableItemBackground">@drawable/activatable_item_background</item>

    <!-- ActionMode Styles -->
    <item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
    <item name="actionModeBackground">@color/app_green_dark</item>
</style>
<style name="Material.AppBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimaryInverse">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:background">@color/app_green</item>
    <item name="android:color">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="Material.AppBar.ActionMode" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionMode.Inverse">
    <item name="android:background">@color/app_green_dark</item>
</style>

A: I think you can try to use the hack way to change the backgroud:
Via Java:

*

*Use hierarchyviewer.bat to analyse the layout, focus on the ActionMode view, you can see below: (Title ID: action_bar_title, SubTitle ID:action_bar_subtitle)

2.Find the specify TextView by the ID we found above, and just do whatever you want!
/**
 * To hack the title and subTitle in ActionMode
 */
private void hack() {
    int titleID = Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("action_bar_title", "id", "android");
    View titleView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(titleID);
    if ((titleView != null) && (titleView instanceof TextView)) {
        ((TextView) titleView).setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
    }
    int subTitleID = Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("action_bar_subtitle", "id", "android");
    View subTitleView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(subTitleID);
    if ((subTitleView != null) && (subTitleView instanceof TextView)) {
        ((TextView) subTitleView).setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
    }
}

3.You can call this method when ActionMode create, for example: in onCreateActionMode(). Final result:

Via Style:
Or you can try to set a android:actionModeStyle to control the title and subTitle background, but the android:background seems not work for it:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="android:actionModeBackground">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:actionModeStyle">@style/TestActionModeStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="TestActionModeStyle">
    <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/TestTitleStyle</item>
    <item name="android:subtitleTextStyle">@style/TestSubTitleStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="TestTitleStyle">
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/holo_red_dark</item>
</style>

<style name="TestSubTitleStyle">
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/holo_green_dark</item>
</style>

Edit:
By the way:
I think the most flexible way is custom you own ActionMode view, this can be easy to achieve, just set a custom view:
@Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode pMode, Menu pMenu) {
    RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.custom_layout, null);
    findView(...);
    initView(...);
    pMode.setCustomView(layout);
    return true;
}

Cutting-edge combat drone, destroyer delivered to Iran's Navy
December 7, 2019 - 19:29
TEHRAN - A combat reconnaissance tactical drone and a modern destroyer were delivered to the Navy in a ceremony in southeastern Iran on Saturday.
The ceremony was held in the Navy's 3rd region of Nabovat in the port city of Konarak in Sistan- Baluchestan province on the coasts of the Oman Sea.
Navy Commander Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi and Rear Admiral Sayyari, who is currently deputy chief of the Army for coordination, attended the ceremony.
The Iranian Navy's new unveils were aimed at boosting the force's defense power.
The Simorq unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a naval pattern of Shahed-129 drone which was previously operated by the airspace force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and is capable of staging combat operation against surface targets using smart precise-guided Sadid bombs.
Simorq is a domestically-manufactured and multi-purpose drone with high range flight capability.
The drone can be utilized in surveillance and combat operations.
Simorq can fly operationally as far as 1,500 km up to 24,000 feet altitude for a period of continued 24 hours.
Simorq has been planned and manufactured by the Iranian experts and is considered as a new achievement for the defense industries.
The Navy's new home-made Bayandor destroyer, which has joined the Nabovat 3rd region, will remarkably bolster the fleet's combat might.
On the sidelines of the ceremony, Rear Admiral Khanzadi highlighted durable security across the country's waters, noting, "Other countries' forces that are currently in the region are after their own interests. Their presence and movement in the region's waters are deceptive and exhibitive. They claim that the region is not safe, however, we see no insecurity in the region."
The Iranian Navy has in recent years along with the IRGC Navy have strengthened their capabilities. They are equipped with different home-made weapons.

NASA's Cool, Tiny Space Helicopter Will Explore Mars
NASA put the first man on the moon, built an international space station, made the Hubble Space Telescope (which still gives us gorgeous shots of the universe), yadda yadda. Those are old news, right? But then, as I've recently been thinking about it, I realize the people at NASA just never seem to run out of surprises throughout the decades. They went surprisingly sustainable, announcing the launch of a recycled supply rocket. They went surprisingly cute, making their satellites capture pictures of more than a million penguins. They even have a (non-surprisingly) fantastic podcast.
Another one is coming from NASA in a tiny gift box. A four-pound autonomous space helicopter will be launched alongside their 2020 rover mission to Mars. And the experimental device is only the size of a softball!
Traveling at the speed of light, it'll still take several minutes for any commands sent from Earth to reach the helicopter, so the flying rover will have to be at least partially autonomous as it provides scientists and other autonomous vehicles with the first long-term bird's-eye view of the planet.
NASA made the tiny space helicopter carry batteries and other hardware that were customized to be as light as possible. And aside from being incredibly light, the device also needs to have incredibly fast mechanisms or functions in order to survive the conditions in Mars.
[T]he Martian atmosphere is practically non-existent. The air pressure at the planet's surface is lower than it is at a helicopter's maximum altitude when flying above Earth. In order to take off, the tiny flying robot needs to spin it's two blades ten times faster — 3,000 times per minute — than it would on Earth[.]
Once the new rover and its passenger — the tiny space helicopter — reach Mars in 2021, they will be scanning for signs of life, identifying hazards for future astronauts, and assisting other ground-based rovers in ongoing geology research.
By then, all of us should prepare for more Martian surprises in store. Again, care of NASA's coolness.

Russia And U.S.A. To Build First Lunar Space Station
While the UAE is currently erecting a Mars-like metropolis for space study, two superpowers are working on something similar. Led by NASA, Russia and the U.S.A are building a crew-tended spaceport based on the moon.
"Roscosmos and Nasa have already agreed on standards for a docking unit of the future station. Taking into account the country's extensive experience in developing docking units, the station's future elements will be created using Russian designs."
It all seems exciting, but the space station project stems from presidential indecision. While NASA plans to achieve Martian orbit by the 2030s, the last three U.S. presidents haven't given them an easy ride. Nonetheless, it seems orbiting the moon is a stepping stone towards orbiting Mars.
"To avoid future problems over technical cooperation, part of the standards should be unified – for a possibility for various countries to work on their craft and dock to the international lunar station,"
Both countries are basing the spaceport's infrastructure on existing rockets from Moscow. Perhaps we can thank the universe keeping Russia and the U.S. on good terms.

Organic Matter Found on Mars — Two NASA Studies
For many decades, the idea of life outside Earth has intrigued many of us, but most especially scientists, astronomers, and well, sci-fi writers. For them and other Mars enthusiasts (a.k.a. people who eagerly believe that Mars can harbor life), the recent year has shown us great updates. Snow has been discovered in the planet. Soil made to simulate the planet's conditions has grown earthworms.
Due to updates like these, some organizations are being inspired to plan ahead for life on Mars. MIT designed dome forests that will adapt to the environment there. The UAE is building a Mars-like metropolis as well, in preparation for a future in that planet. And it looks like they are bound to be more inspired as NASA releases the results of two new major studies about the Red Planet in the journal Science.
The first study centers on methane, a simple organic molecule that forms the basis for natural gas. Biological sources produce most of the methane on Earth, so researchers suspected that methane on Mars could point them towards biological sources — life! — on Mars.
Astronomers were already detecting methane in Mars as far back as 2003, but they first confirmed its presence there in 2015. After analyzing years worth of data, they realized that the methane was probably coming from pockets of ice. When these ice pockets melt during "summer" in Mars, methane slips out and methane levels go higher. Scientists say the seasonal presence of methane might clue us in on how there used to be life in the Red Planet, though the current study is still inconclusive about that.
The next study, however, also implies the idea of ancient life, as scientists find evidence of organic matter in soil that came from Mars.
In the second study, [NASA's Curiosity rover] collected soil samples from two spots in Gale crater estimated to be about three billion years old. When Curiosity heated them up, the researchers recognized several organic molecules commonly found in Earth's organic-rich sedimentary rock.
The discovery of methane in the Martian atmosphere and organic matter on Martian soil suggests interesting similarities between that planet and ours. Thus, it further spurs the question of life on Mars. And since the Curiosity rover is still roving around and looking for signs, one can only hope its next breakthrough will finally answer that question.

MIT Designs Dome Forest Habitat To Win Mars Contest
Preparing for life on Mars has become increasingly tedious, especially after discoveries of snow on the planet. Nevertheless, places like the UAE are eager to push forward the limits of space study, building a massive Mars metropolis. You know — just in case. But clearly, it's MIT engineers who are coming out on top after snatching the top prize at the Mars City Design contest for their dome habitats.
MIT's winning design, which the team calls Redwood Forest, is a collection of "tree habitats" connected through a system of tunnels called "roots." The roots would provide safe access to other tree habitats, private spaces and "shirt-sleeve transportation,"
If the designs make it to Mars, each dome would house up to 50 inhabitants. Realistically, the ambitious tech team hopes to build 200, which guarantees 10,000 hopefuls a spot on life beyond Earth.
"On Mars, our city will physically and functionally mimic a forest, using local Martian resources such as ice and water, regolith (or soil), and sun to support life," MIT postdoctoral researcher Valentina Sumini said.
It's a daunting prospect, if it does happen. Hopefully MIT's "forest" will make future residents feel right at home.

Earthworms Born In Artificial Soil Used On Mars
As we should know by now, anything is possible on Mars. After all, we just recently discovered it snows there. In an unusual turn of events, researchers saw the birth of two earthworms living in sterile soil, made to simulate conditions on Mars.
"[Worms] grab organic matter from the top of the soil—eat it, chew it—and when they poo it out, bacteria can break it down further. Otherwise [without worms] you deplete the nutrients in the soil," [Dutch biologist] Wamelink explains.
Trent Smith, who works on replicating Mars conditions, claims that the simulated soil is relatively accurate. However, the substance still lacks perchlorates, which is probably why the wigglers managed to reproduce.
To both Wamelink and Smith, figuring out a natural process to remove perchlorate from Martian soil remains the largest hurdle in the way of growing a sustainable agricultural system on the planet.
With much to remedy, NASA's Veggie program has its hands full. But the space magicians never fail to surprise and hope, after worms, to bring in bumblebees.

Most discoveries are a pleasant surprise. For two Florida students, unearthing vintage NASA suits was a jackpot find. The New Jersey Liberty Hall Museum is proudly boasting a wine older than the United States. But for planetary scientist Aymeric Spiga, discovering snow on Mars was beyond unexpected.
Mars is dry compared to Earth: Its cold nature makes it unlikely that any of the ice on the Red Planet's surface would melt, and its extremely thin atmosphere would cause any liquid water on the surface to vaporize nearly immediately. Still, Mars' atmosphere does possess clouds of frozen water.
Snowstorms on Mars are similar to Earthly microbursts, in which dense air zips downward from a cloud. Any snow landing on Mars would be quick to disappear. More often than not, Martian snow turns to vapor before even hitting the surface.
"This is something observed on Earth sometimes, with something called virga — streaks of rain falling from the clouds can vaporize before reaching the surface,"
What, then, does this phenomenon mean for how we depict Mars? Besides the fact that the little red planet continues to surprise us, its atmosphere is more dynamic than we thought. With a constant slew of new findings making an appearance, it seems we may get to know Mars on a more personal level.

UAE To Build Mars-Like Metropolis For Space Study
The future is closer than ever before, and it's brighter than we expected. Experts are optimistic about the expansion of the AI universe and it seems technology may not be killing us after all. With the wave of new technologies comes grand efforts by nations to advance society. In particular, the UAE is planning to build a Mars-like metropolis to prepare humankind for its potential march into space.
A team will live inside the experimental city for a year, which will recreate the conditions of the Red Planet. Scientists will work in laboratories dedicated to investigating self-sufficiency in energy, food and water for life on Mars.
Looks like preparations for an impending apocalypse are finally coming to fruition. Or perhaps we're just being cautious. The dome-shaped buildings will simulate Mars' environment down to the degree. Developers will also erect a museum and educational spaces.
"We believe in the potential of space exploration, and in collaborating with global partners and leaders in order to harness the findings of this research and movement that seeks to meet people's needs and improve quality of life on earth," said Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid of Dubai.
The UAE hopes to build an initial settlement on Mars within the coming century. Will you be among the first to experience life on another planet?

NASA Hiring Protection Officer To Ward Off Aliens
We may now be able to photograph planets using a makeshift super-camera, but can we defend Earth? NASA certainly thinks so and is looking to hire a planet protection officer to ward off alien microbes.
The position was created after the US ratified the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, specifically to support Article IX of the document:
"States Parties to the Treaty shall pursue studies of outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, and conduct exploration of them so as to avoid their harmful contamination and also adverse changes in the environment of the Earth resulting from the introduction of extraterrestrial matter and, where necessary, shall adopt appropriate measures for this purpose."
The annual salary projected for the position boasts six figures. In fact, it's approximately $187,000 and that doesn't include additional benefits. The final candidate will travel to space centers around the world — but not everything is fun and games.
The officer helps ensure something from another world, most imminently Mars, doesn't contaminate Earth.
They help establish the equipment, protocols, and procedures to reduce… risks.
The job is not as easy as it seems, and not just anyone can qualify. Candidates must have been civilian government employees and (obviously) know a lot about space. Not to mention NASA also requires applicants to hold degrees in physical science, engineering, or mathematics. I wouldn't be surprised if top universities saw a spike in such degrees!

My grandfathers both died in their early 50s while my parents retired from their careers in medicine and education when they were 65 and lived about another 25 years. Last March I celebrated my 67th birthday and six months later I changed careers for the fourth time. Three generations with completely different life trajectories.
Life expectancy when my grandfathers died was about 67 years for white males according to SeniorLiving.org Most people in that era never even thought about retirement because they weren't likely to live long enough to experience it. The "greatest generation," of which my parents were part, had a work ethic that anticipated "enjoying retirement" as a reward for years of education and work. Improved health care, a strong economy, Social Security and Medicare meant that people could and would live longer to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
I have a few friends who have retired but most folks I know my age are still working. My own plan had been to retire at 67 or 68, start drawing on social security and do some long-awaited traveling, among other activities. There's a famous Yiddish language saying – Man plans and God laughs – which apparently applies to my original retirement plan.
While I've had several careers – college professor, non-profit executive, Public Relations consultant – whenever someone asked me "what I did" I would tell them that I am a musician with a good-paying day job. My mother signed me up for piano lessons at age 6 and I took up the guitar at 17. In the last year I've added harmonica and ukulele to my repertoire. And I've been singing all my life, sometimes for pay.
So it was probably not surprising to very many people around me that when the owner of the Denver Folklore Center, Harry Tuft, wanted to talk with me about selling or running a going-out-of-business sale I proposed buying the store myself. After all, I'd been a customer for 20 years and a friend of Harry's for much of that time. Like a handful of other acoustic guitar stores around the country, DFC was an icon and the focal point of some famous and many not so famous music careers.
Did I mention that I have a couple of friends who flunked retirement? They hit a birthday milestone – 65 or 70 – and stopped working. As I have come to understand, without a plan there's a chance you will flunk and have to go back to work. So I knew I would need a plan. My original plan was to play more guitar, write more music and maybe perform a bit more.
There is considerable research that says playing an instrument or, even better, learning a new instrument can have a positive effect on your mental health in your later years. I guess we'll find out if that works for me. Given that my parents died after years of dementia, my wife certainly hopes that all the music in my life will keep my brain healthy and focused.
So, if you are thinking about retirement (1) get a plan, (2) make music part of that plan and (3) be prepared to change your plans.

As You Age—Stay Young. Here's How.


Rash, C. L., & McGrath, D. S. (2016).
Motivational models have been shown to usefully describe reasons for engaging in addictive behaviors including gambling disorder. Although most scales designed to measure motives have been derived statistically, self-generated open-ended responses have also shown utility for identifying unique motives for gambling. While the motivational structure for gambling disorder has been extensively explored, there has been a paucity of research examining motives for choosing not to gamble. This is not the case for other addictive behaviors such as alcohol use where motives for abstaining from drinking have been well defined. The primary goal of this study was to qualitatively explore and identify motives for not gambling in a sample of young adult non-gamblers using open-ended responses. A sample (N = 196) of undergraduate current non-gamblers, defined as no gambling activity over the previous 12 months, completed a series of questionnaires on demographics, gambling behavior, and alcohol consumption. Furthermore, they were asked to provide their top three reasons for not gambling in rank order. The results revealed eight specific motives for why participants chose not to gamble: 'financial reasons and risk aversion'; 'disinterest and other priorities'; 'personal and religious convictions'; 'addiction concerns'; 'influence of others' values'; 'awareness of the odds'; 'lack of access, opportunity, or skill'; and 'emotional distress'. Personal and religious convictions reasons were also related to lifetime non-drinking, suggesting that these motives are associated with decreased addictive behaviors in general. Ultimately, these results may help to inform the design of prevention strategies for gambling disorder.
The discourse of Australian young adults who gamble regularly was analysed to explore key dilemmas and challenges of a generation who grew up with the positive and negative impacts of gambling advertisements. Qualitative interviews of seven young recreational gamblers who regularly frequent gaming machine venues were conducted. The discourse that they used to describe their gambling involvement, motivation, development and subjective views were analysed and three central repertoires: 'Culture not self,' 'If it makes you happy,' and 'No problem here!' were identified. The current findings demonstrate the participants' attempts to understand and legitimise their gambling. Further, it was suggested that young adults face a series of dilemmas when deciding whether to gamble and to what extent they gamble. Their discourse highlights the tension between individual agency, societal expectations and familial influence. The respondents primarily gambled for social reasons in a manner which they perceived as culturally acceptable. The importance of harm minimization and public awareness campaigns directed at young adults was also discussed.

java.security.acl

Interface Acl

All Superinterfaces:

Owner

public interface Acl
extends Owner

Interface representing an Access Control List (ACL).  An Access
 Control List is a data structure used to guard access to
 resources.

 An ACL can be thought of as a data structure with multiple ACL
 entries.  Each ACL entry, of interface type AclEntry, contains a
 set of permissions associated with a particular principal. (A
 principal represents an entity such as an individual user or a
 group). Additionally, each ACL entry is specified as being either
 positive or negative. If positive, the permissions are to be
 granted to the associated principal. If negative, the permissions
 are to be denied.

 The ACL Entries in each ACL observe the following rules:

Each principal can have at most one positive ACL entry and
 one negative entry; that is, multiple positive or negative ACL
 entries are not allowed for any principal.  Each entry specifies
 the set of permissions that are to be granted (if positive) or
 denied (if negative).

If there is no entry for a particular principal, then the
 principal is considered to have a null (empty) permission set.

If there is a positive entry that grants a principal a
 particular permission, and a negative entry that denies the
 principal the same permission, the result is as though the
 permission was never granted or denied.

Individual permissions always override permissions of the
 group(s) to which the individual belongs. That is, individual
 negative permissions (specific denial of permissions) override the
 groups' positive permissions. And individual positive permissions
 override the groups' negative permissions.

 The java.security.acl  package provides the
 interfaces to the ACL and related data structures (ACL entries,
 groups, permissions, etc.), and the sun.security.acl
 classes provide a default implementation of the interfaces. For
 example, java.security.acl.Acl  provides the
 interface to an ACL and the sun.security.acl.AclImpl
 class provides the default implementation of the interface.

 The java.security.acl.Acl  interface extends the
 java.security.acl.Owner  interface. The Owner
 interface is used to maintain a list of owners for each ACL.  Only
 owners are allowed to modify an ACL. For example, only an owner can
 call the ACL's addEntry method to add a new ACL entry
 to the ACL.

boolean addEntry(Principal caller,
                 AclEntry entry)
          throws NotOwnerException

Adds an ACL entry to this ACL. An entry associates a principal
 (e.g., an individual or a group) with a set of
 permissions. Each principal can have at most one positive ACL
 entry (specifying permissions to be granted to the principal)
 and one negative ACL entry (specifying permissions to be
 denied). If there is already an ACL entry of the same type
 (negative or positive) already in the ACL, false is returned.

Parameters:

caller - the principal invoking this method. It must be an
 owner of this ACL.

entry - the ACL entry to be added to this ACL.

Returns:

true on success, false if an entry of the same type
 (positive or negative) for the same principal is already
 present in this ACL.

Throws:

NotOwnerException - if the caller principal
  is not an owner of this ACL.

removeEntry

boolean removeEntry(Principal caller,
                    AclEntry entry)
             throws NotOwnerException

Removes an ACL entry from this ACL.

Parameters:

caller - the principal invoking this method. It must be an
 owner of this ACL.

entry - the ACL entry to be removed from this ACL.

Returns:

true on success, false if the entry is not part of this ACL.

Throws:

NotOwnerException - if the caller principal is not
 an owner of this Acl.

getPermissions

Enumeration<Permission> getPermissions(Principal user)

Returns an enumeration for the set of allowed permissions for the
 specified principal (representing an entity such as an individual or
 a group). This set of allowed permissions is calculated as
 follows:

If there is no entry in this Access Control List for the
 specified principal, an empty permission set is returned.

Otherwise, the principal's group permission sets are determined.
 (A principal can belong to one or more groups, where a group is a
 group of principals, represented by the Group interface.)
 The group positive permission set is the union of all
 the positive permissions of each group that the principal belongs to.
 The group negative permission set is the union of all
 the negative permissions of each group that the principal belongs to.
 If there is a specific permission that occurs in both
 the positive permission set and the negative permission set,
 it is removed from both.

 The individual positive and negative permission sets are also
 determined. The positive permission set contains the permissions
 specified in the positive ACL entry (if any) for the principal.
 Similarly, the negative permission set contains the permissions
 specified in the negative ACL entry (if any) for the principal.
 The individual positive (or negative) permission set is considered
 to be null if there is not a positive (negative) ACL entry for the
 principal in this ACL.

 The set of permissions granted to the principal is then calculated
 using the simple rule that individual permissions always override
 the group permissions. That is, the principal's individual negative
 permission set (specific denial of permissions) overrides the group
 positive permission set, and the principal's individual positive
 permission set overrides the group negative permission set.

Parameters:

user - the principal whose permission set is to be returned.

Returns:

the permission set specifying the permissions the principal
 is allowed.

entries

Enumeration<AclEntry> entries()

Returns an enumeration of the entries in this ACL. Each element in
 the enumeration is of type AclEntry.

Returns:

an enumeration of the entries in this ACL.

checkPermission

boolean checkPermission(Principal principal,
                        Permission permission)

Checks whether or not the specified principal has the specified
 permission. If it does, true is returned, otherwise false is returned.

 More specifically, this method checks whether the passed permission
 is a member of the allowed permission set of the specified principal.
 The allowed permission set is determined by the same algorithm as is
 used by the getPermissions method.

Parameters:

principal - the principal, assumed to be a valid authenticated
 Principal.

permission - the permission to be checked for.

Returns:

true if the principal has the specified permission, false
 otherwise.

See Also:

getPermissions(java.security.Principal)

toString

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the
 ACL contents.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the ACL contents.

The Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church at 77 Prinsep Street was built in 1843 by Reverend Benjamin Peach Keasberry, a Protestant minister from the London Missionary Society.1 Apart from being the first Straits Chinese church, it was also the birthplace of the first company of the Singapore Boys' Brigade, which was established on 12 January 1930. The church was gazetted as a national monument on 12 January 2000.2
Malay Chapel
The Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church was built on a plot of land on Prinsep Street, then known as Kampong Bencoolen. It was initially called the Malay Chapel.3
The church was popularly known as Greja Keasberry or "Keasberry's Church". When the London Missionary Society closed its Malaya mission in 1847, Keasberry stayed behind as an independent missionary to continue his work with the Malays. He did so until his sudden death on 1875 while preaching at the pulpit. Although the church was intended to serve a Malay congregation, over time, the Malay Chapel became associated with the Malay-speaking Peranakan (Straits Chinese) community.4
By the latter half of the 19th century, the Malay Chapel had become the place of worship for many illustrious Straits Chinese, such as Foo Teng Quee, Tan Boon Chin, Song Ong Siang, and was renamed the Straits Chinese Church in 1886.5
Prinsep Street Church
Until 1885, the church was still the legal property of the London Missionary Society.6 Reverend J. A. B. Cook, under the auspices of the English Presbyterian Mission, initiated the purchase of the church from the society using funds from Singapore Presbyterian merchants living in London. The church was renamed the Prinsep Street Church after it was bought over. Groups such as the Teochew Tek Kha Group (or "Kandang Kerbau Market" Group) used the church for their services.7
In 1901, a building fund was set up for the construction of a new church building. With the old church demolished in 1930, the foundation stone for the new building was laid by Song Ong Siang, a well-respected Straits Chinese lawyer, scholar and community leader, on 5 March 1930. The new church building, constructed at a cost $55,000, was opened on 4 February 1931.8
In November 1931, the church joined the Synod of the English Presbytery and was renamed the Straits Chinese Presbyterian Church. It was renamed the Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church in 1955. With a surge in the non-Straits Chinese congregation by the mid-1980s, a new four-storey block was added to accommodate the expanding assembly.9
The church was designed by C. J. Stephens of architectural firm Swan & Maclaren10 in a modern fresco style. Inspired by Spanish architecture, the style was very popular in the 1930s in the United States.11 The church's most notable features are its deep red bricks and the raised brickwork on the tower and belfry.12
Song Hoot Kiam was one of the first local elders of the church, and was succeeded by his son, Song Ong Siang, in 1900.13 The younger Song was a prominent figure in local history, and became the first Malayan Chinese to receive a knighthood when he was conferred the Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (K.B.E.) in 1936.14 Having published his monumental work entitled One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore in 1923, Song donated the proceeds of the sale of his book to the church building fund.15

Trump wanted to have a news conference but aides convinced him otherwise
President Donald Trump tol...
President Donald Trump told aides he was eager to take questions Friday and hold a news conference to tout his accomplishments before leaving for Mar-a-Lago, but some advisers argued against it.
The aides were eager to avoid him being besieged with questions about the investigation into Russian election meddling and other matters that could overshadow the tax bill he had signed into law, two White House officials told CNN.
The President's schedule remained in flux over the past 24 hours
On Friday, the White House first said Trump would sign tax bill in private
The President's schedule remained in flux over the last day, amid questions about whether he would stage a public bill-signing ceremony of the tax legislation or hold a news conference. Many previous presidents have held year-end news conferences before leaving for Christmas vacations.
For two straight days, Thursday and Friday, White House aides were told to prepare for a news conference of some kind.
Both plans were scrapped.
Friday morning, aides finally said the President would sign the tax and government funding bills in private. When the pool protested, saying the pictures from a White House photographer wouldn't be used, news reporters and photographers were hastily escorted into the Oval Office for the signing.
The President's mood was bright and he seemed eager to answer a few questions. Aides appeared on higher alert than normal, with Chief of Staff John Kelly and other aides attempting to kick reporters out and get the President on Marine One to Mar-a-Lago.
Trump answered several questions, including whether he had learned anything from the legislative process related to the tax overhaul, whether he would travel to sell the tax package and whether he wished he had started his congressional agenda with infrastructure.
"We're going to get infrastructure," Trump told reporters. "Infrastructure is the easiest of them all. We're very well on our way. We have essentially repealed Obamacare. You know, the individual mandate was a very big factor in this bill, frankly. A lot of people don't talk about it because the tax cut is so important."
As reporters kept pressing Trump, aides moved closer and closer to the Resolute Desk, gently prodding reporters and photographers to leave the Oval Office. With the President still talking, chief economic adviser Gary Cohn and other officials stood in front of the desk, all but blocking Trump's view.
Finally, White House chief of staff John Kelly also joined in and asked the press to leave, saying: "Helicopter is running out of gas," referring to Marine One that was waiting to take the President to Air Force One.

How do I sign up for the Americans of Conscience Checklist?
I signed up, but don't see the email. How do I find it?
4. Tweets and Facebook comments.
Does it help to call more than once about the same issue?
Often we assume that registering our opinion is the only point of the call, but you can ask for more than that. Request that your MoCs make a public statement of opposition or support, to co-sign specific legislation, or to use their influence to speak to the committee in charge of an issue. Insist they work for your vote.
You can't. Please don't try. You are only the boss of your own MoCs. You elected them, and they represent you in Congress. MoCs outside your district work only for their own constituents. Calling other MoCs might unintentionally sabotage local activism efforts.
Two workarounds: If another MoC is doing something you detest, tag them and say so on social media. Express clearly what you oppose and what you want. Their own constituents may catch wind and carry your efforts forward.
The second exception is expressing gratitude. When an elected official does the right thing, the Americans of Conscience checklist includes an address to send them postcards of thanks.
DC and PR residents can appeal directly to Congressional committee chairs on legislation (since they represent all Americans in that capacity).
Location location location. DC residents can also volunteer to hand-deliver letters to MoCs for their friends. DC's residents can stage rallies and protests that MoCs will see and that other Americans can't attend. Consider those as a viable alternative to calls if you're able.
Why doesn't the Checklist cover environment, candidates, state's issues, etc.?
– Voting access for all people.
– Equal rights for all people.
– The rights of aspiring Americans.
We believe that no matter who the president is, these three issues are central to the integrity of our democracy. But it was really hard to choose. If you're concerned about the climate crisis, check out Calvin's List. For groups that endorse progressive candidates, see Rogan's List, 5 Calls, and Small Deeds Done.
Why does the AoC Checklist include thanking certain Republicans?
When elected officials speak up for democracy, go against their party's group-think, and advocate for what's right it's praiseworthy—regardless of party.
Although conservatives and progressives opinions differ on the speed of change, we're all Americans. Polarization is not helping our country. One of the ways to heal our democracy is to find common ground—no matter how small—with people we're normally quick to judge or dismiss.
Where do the actions come from in the AoC Checklist?
Jen Hofmann, the checklist's creator and queen bee, is a professional writer, teacher of social media strategy, and research nerd who cares deeply about justice.
Scours the Twitter feeds of grassroots advocacy groups in search of recommended actions and good news.
Finds articles with supportive background information from high-quality publications.
Writes clear, no-drama scripts for you to use.
Shares the checklist by email and on Facebook and twitter.
We make it look easy, but it takes hundreds of hours each week to make it simple to use (and we're rather proud of that!).
Why is there no Checklist on the 4th Sunday of each month?
Perhaps you've experienced the fatigue of being over-involved in activism and growing weary. We've learned that rest and self care are essential parts of staying engaged long-term.
For that reason, we produce a Checklist on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sundays of each month. On the 4th Sunday, we take a week off for rest and self-care. Be sure to plan time away from the news and social media regularly to tend to your spirit.
How did the AoC Checklist come to be?
I was in the basement of my favorite local coffeehouse a few weeks after the 2016 election. Skeptical of the memes and pleas for donations that followed, the women there who'd gathered for solidarity wanted to know what was trustworthy online and how to speak up.
Since I teach social media strategy and enjoy research, I offered to compile my findings in a weekly email. It was such a relief to have something to DO.
This 30-member list of local women turned into 30,000 subscribers by the first Women's March in January. A few months later, it had doubled. Each week, I focused on simple language, clear "asks", and short scripts that were easy to read on a call. We still do.
Creating this checklist is a labor of love. I care deeply about our country and believe it can be better and kinder. Being able to contribute some clarity in these dark times toward that vision is an incredible honor.
I love this checklist. How can I support the work?
Becoming a regular patron through Patreon provides stable income to commit to this project for the long haul (2020!).
One-time donations can be made through PayPal.
If you prefer snail mail, checks (to Jennifer Hofmann) can be sent to: Jennifer Hofmann, P.O. Box 9233, Brooks, OR 97305. With gratitude.

After several days of the US and Cuba trading warm words that have hinted at a détente after a half century of hostility, Mr Obama said that he was seeking "a new beginning" with Havana.
But it was his unexpected handshake and the smiles he exchanged with Mr Chavez that caught many at the summit by surprise.
Asked what he had said to Mr Chavez, Mr Obama replied with a smile: "I said como estas".
Hugo Chavez, the socialist president of Venezuela, told state television: "I hope this doesn't harm Obama, but if I was from the United States, I'd vote for Obama."
Chavez, who like Obama is seeking re-election, also called the American president "a good guy," reports Reuters.
"I think that if Obama was from Barlovento or some Caracas neighborhood, he'd vote for Chavez," said the Venezuela leader.
It's quite a contrast to how Chavez described Obama predecessor George W. Bush -- as "the devil."
Chavez predicted both he and Obama would win re-election, possibly leading to better American-Venezuelan relations. He said both he and Obama were battling the "extreme right" in their election battles.
"Obama's atrocious statement on Chavez's death" was a Washington Post headline in 2013.
While Obama had pandered to Russian clients like Cuba, Venezuela and Iran, President Trump stood up to them. And he's doing it now.
Meanwhile the Democrats are doing everything possible to undermine America's standing in the world and our foreign policy. Moscow no doubt appreciates the assistance that Pelosi and Schumer are providing it. Much as it appreciated Obama's assistance.


If you spend enough time reading about the higher ed community it's easy to become a cynic.
Learning what really motivates schools, for instance, to drop SAT requirements or to offer certain types of kids tuition breaks and not others can make you incredibly skeptical.
I am even more skeptical about anything that the student loan industry says. Lately, lenders, which would love bailout money from the federal government, have been frantically arguing that their financial situation is dire.
Give me a break. Lenders have enjoyed many years of a cushy business arrangement: They generate profits when families make loan payments and they often pocket even more money when families go into default.
Now they have convinced many in the media and Congress that kids are getting cut off from access to federal college loans. Nonsense.
If you believe that line, you need to only look at the latest federal loan figures from the U.S. Department of Education. During the 2007-08 school year, $51 billion was handed out in federal student loans versus $59.7 billion for current school year.

Architectural Masterpieces in Paris Other than the Eiffel Tower
Eiffel Tower Facts
The name Paris conjures up images of the Eiffel Tower in most people's minds. While this is an iconic structure indeed, there are also other towers in the same city that are often overlooked by most of the travelers. These architectural masterpieces also have deep roots in history and culture of Paris city. Below are some of the best towers that you can visit on your private tours Paris other than the Eiffel Tower.
This appears as a heavily plastered building and gives an impression that it is a skyscraper under construction when viewed from a distance. As you get closer, you will find that it is a beautiful tower, which rises above the neighboring buildings. The structure is all that remains of a 16th Century church that was present in the same spot in the Chatelet-Les-Halles district. The place re-opened in 2013 after renovations and you can pay a visit to the top of the building to get a beautiful panoramic view of the city.
Jean Sans Peur
The tower Jean Sans Peur, named after the Duke of Burgundy or "Fearless Jean", is a structure that is usually overlooked by travelers. It was the site of a murder; Jean assassinated his cousin Duke of Orleans here in the 15th Century. The place is located near Rue Montorgueil and metro Etienne Marcel, which is lined by high-end boutiques and concept shops. It is also the only fortified medieval tower that is left in Paris.
Grande Arche De La Défense
This is one of the most attractive Parisian arches due to its spectacular architecture. If compared to Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe, this arc will clearly outshine the latter. The structure is 110 meter-high and was erected in 1989 to commemorate the bicentennial of the French Revolution. It is also visible from a long way out.
Montparnasse Tower
It might not be the most attractive looking building in Paris, but it gives you the best views of the city compared to any other place in Paris. The Montparnasse Tower is also known as 56 for the number of floors that are present on it. You can visit the place in between your exploration of the cosmopolitan Montparnasse, which is famous for the overwhelming presence of artists and intellectuals. When here, do visit the top of the structure as well, that houses a restaurant.
