Graham Ashton: My Time at The Esports Observer in 10 Articles
At the time of publication, I have departed The Esports Observer after three years as a full time writer – the first the company actually brought on board. As TEO has grown from a niche outlet to a trusted source of esports business news and insights, I want to thank everyone who read and supported my work; as I'm sure you will continue to do for this publication's talented writers both present and future.
As I depart for my next chapter in esports, I wanted to leave with 10 articles that I consider to be my favorite pieces of work. These weren't chosen based on current trends or how many hits they received (in fact some I hope get more attention than they did when first published). Instead, I chose these either based on the uniqueness of the subject matter, the crucial insights from the interviewees, or just to show how far esports has come, and where it might go next.
How an Unauthorized Asian Games Twitch Stream Hit 500K Viewers
When League of Legends was played as a demonstration event at the 2018 Asian Games, there was no way for China to watch its national team compete. Due to an odd TV licensing issue and YouTube being blocked in the country, live games were not broadcasted. Instead, when two L.A.-based streamers co-streamed the competition on Twitch, word spread, and soon hundreds of thousands were visiting their channel. As well as being an unbelievable story, this highlights what a disruption esports and online streaming can have on typical sports broadcasting models.
Opinion: Why Esports is Uniquely Positioned to Survive COVID-19
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, it was an uncertain time to say the least. For a while esports was the most watched live sport on Earth, and even though reports indicated that viewership and player counts were going up significantly, with inevitable recession looming there were also more events being canceled well into the future. I wanted to put head to where the industry was heading, and what everyone should expect.
Top 10 Esports Team Organizations of 2019 by Competition Results
This article was a significant undertaking. I looked at every major esports competition in 2019, and assigned points to each team based on their performance in a multitude of games, whether it was in a league season or international tournament. Certainly, the final tally was questioned by some, but nevertheless the article showed which teams can consistently perform across multiple games, and has been cited in industry reports and by individuals.
Opinion: Instant Success Doesn't Exist in Esports. Let's Stop Chasing It
I've been working in esports long enough to watch the announcement, launch, and decline of dozens of competition projects. Many of them shared one universal fault: promising above and beyond what the industry may have been capable of. Esports is an extremely fast-paced industry with many coming and going trends, and this often lends itself to ridiculous expectations.
Three Things Mercedes-Benz Did Right in Communicating with the Dota 2 Audience
This event report covered the infamous ESL One Dota 2 Major, where one commentator's ill-fitting line promoting the-new sponsor Mercedes Benz became an out of control meme. I looked at how ESL/Daimler controlled the controversy, how an automotive company could be integrated into the culture of Dota 2, and why social media can be a boon and a burden to brands.
'Esports at the Olympics?!' – Here's What's Missing From the Headlines
My favorite topic to cover at TEO was esports and its complex relationship with the Olympic movement. After reading the dozenth false article proclaiming esports would definitely be coming to the Summer Games, I explained how difficult, and perhaps even how unrealistic that would be. Even with the 2020 Tokyo games postponed and esports' rise during COVID-19, the question of its inclusion is still far from answered.
LEC On Air Talent Team Give Their Take on Spring Split, Industry Growth
If you've read about where I will be moving on to after TEO, then perhaps this piece will come across a bit biased. Nevertheless, I think the League of Legends European Championship (LEC) has one of the best on-air talent teams in esports, and to have them speak their mind on the industry as a whole was a delight to listen to and share.
Cheating in Esports – How Is It Done, and How Is It Dealt With?
Foul play in esports is a topic as old as the industry itself, but few are aware of the complex web of technology and rules that exist to try and control it. There are some insights in this article that I still bring up in conversation. Did you know that ESL spends 10% of its technology budget on anti-cheat software, or that it has unofficially hired people to go into anti-cheat software communities?
'You Cannot See Esports as Marketing,' Says Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent
Available in both written and video form, this interview was recorded at the 2019 League of Legends World Championships. Once again there are some great insights in terms of the future of gaming and its place in pop culture. Can it really be argued that a gaming company will become the Disney of the 21st century?
A Retrospective on Community-Created Esports
I think it's extremely important for newcomers in the industry to learn where the most popular esports originated from, and why you can't dismiss the power of the community. From the Half-Life mod that spawned the now 20-year old franchise of Counter-Strike, to newer games like PUBG and Dota Auto Chess, today the most played game in the world can still be born not from money and marketing, but out of indie programming and word-of-mouth.

PHILADELPHIA (FEBRUARY 7, 2018) – A growing body of evidence suggests that where a person lives can impact cancer risk and outcomes. A new paper in the journal Cancer finds that living in ethnic enclaves or areas of high segregation was associated with positive and negative effects on cancer risk, stage at diagnosis, and mortality. Findings varied among the ethnicities and types of cancer being studied.
Key findings of the paper include: Carolyn Fang, PhD, lead author of a new paper in the journal Cancer, and co-leader of the cancer prevention and control program at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Hispanic and Asian Americans living in areas of high ethnic density have lower risk of cancers such as breast and colorectal cancers, which tend to be associated with lifestyle factors. The researchers believe that residing in an ethnic enclave – with its associated cultural norms -- may help support the maintenance of traditional behaviors, such as diet, among immigrants and US-born residents.
However, in these same ethnic groups, ethnic density was associated with increased risk for cancers of infectious origin, such as liver and cervical cancer. The paper notes high rates of hepatitis B infection among Asian immigrants and low rates of compliance with cervical cancer screening guidelines among both Hispanic and Asian women.
Living in neighborhoods of high Hispanic ethnic density was associated with greater odds of being diagnosed at a later stage, suggesting an access-to-care issue in these neighborhoods.
Living in neighborhoods of high African American density was associated with greater chance of dying from cancer. This association also held for whites living in these neighborhoods.
"This research is valuable in identifying the most vulnerable neighborhoods and groups to target for outreach, but also may highlight key features of the social environment that are protective or can offer health benefit," said Carolyn Fang, PhD, co-leader of the cancer prevention and control program at Fox Chase Cancer Center and lead author of the paper.
Research reported in this press release was supported in part by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health under award number R01DK104176 and in part by the National Institutes of Health Cancer Center Support Grant award number P30 CA006927 .

Alright, I'm going to be honest. I've never been the biggest fan of Valentine's Day. First of all, it's just way too close to my birthday. It also doesn't help that for many Valentine days, I was single. I'm sure we can agree there's few things more annoying than watching everyone celebrate a day for lovers when you don't have one yourself. I managed the pain by going to the store the next day, and enjoying the chocolates in the half-off bin that, like myself, were left behind on February 14. Once I found myself a nice fellow and got married, I still didn't warm up to Valentine's Day. Something about the whole thing just felt off to me. The over priced flowers, the boxes of chocolate bigger than my head, the aisles and aisles of pink and red cards… I just couldn't get into it.
Perhaps it was my inner senses tingling that, like most things in history, Valentines Day has a darker history than flowers and cards. So, recently, I finally dug into it. As it turns out, I'm not the only one that's had some bad luck on Valentine's Day.
It all started with a man who we know as "St. Valentine of Rome." A lot of his history is cloudy, and some historians believe that the "St. Valentine" we know and love might actually be multiple saintly figures rolled into one. Be that as it may – here is the gist of the legend: St. Valentine lived in Rome (or thereabouts) in the Third Century AD. At that time, the Roman emperor Claudius II had little use for the newer Christian religion, and instead worshiped the art of warfare. He was tired of his soldiers getting distracted by their wives and family commitments. Wanting to do something about it, he made marriage illegal for soldiers. But there was just one problem. There were so many soldiers that already had a sweetheart, and they weren't keen on letting them go. Enter the brave and the bold St. Valentine. Ever a preacher of love, he defied Claudius's law and performed marriage ceremonies for any love birds who needed him. While he was at it, he gave shelter and aid to Christians facing persecution from the Roman Empire. Young lovers and Christian fugitives the countryside over kept him busy for quite some time.
Unfortunately, nothing that good stays secret. Word reached Emperor Claudius, and in exchange for Valentine making love and not war, he was arrested and thrown into prison. While imprisoned, St. Valentine made the acquaintance (and some sources say took a fancy to) the jailer's blind daughter Julia. He said fervent prayers for her healing, and miraculously restored her sight. It was a miracle by the church's standards, but it wasn't enough to sway Claudius from his decision to put Valentine to death. So, the doomed saint wrote a farewell to his friend Julia, and signed it – "Your Valentine." It was the world's first Valentine's Day greeting, although written under not so lovable circumstances. Later, Valentine was taken to a torture chamber where he was beaten, clubbed, and stoned. When none of that killed him, he was beheaded on February 14, and buried near the Via Flaminia.
St. Valentine's violent martyrdom was honored in the typical Catholic Church fashion – by marking the day of his death as "St. Valentine's Day." However, the church didn't put much of a romantic spin on it. At that time, the only love connected with February 14 was the Pagan holiday of Lupercalia. It involved a lot of drinking, and a match making lottery in which women put their names into jars, and young men drew the name of the woman that would be his "lover" for the duration of the festival (February 13-15). In the fifth century, perhaps tired of all the revelry around February 14, Pope Gelasius I tried to expel Lupercalia by combining it with St. Valentine's Day. So, maybe the church acknowledged the love part of the idea, but they expelled the drunken revelry and lottery-style hook ups.
The holiday we know today started emerging during the 14th and 15th centuries, with help from the famous writers Chaucer and Shakespeare. Their romantic love stories and poems gave birth to a new type of Valentine's Day. By the Middle Ages, lovers were exchanging elaborate paper cards (some embroidered with real gold) and flowers on February 14. Another big development came a few centuries later. Like the Industrial Revolution shaped so many things, it also transformed the day of St. Valentine. Paper cards became factory-made and more readily available. The Hallmark Company of Kansas City, Missouri made Valentine's Day explode in 1913. They found big business in mass producing valentine's greetings, candies, cute cuddly stuffed animals, and all other things valentines. February 14 has been aisles of pink and red at the grocery store ever since.
This year, I will be a willing participant in Valentine's Day for the first time in… well… ever. It's never been my favorite holiday, but for some reason, knowing the history made me want to get in on it a little. A lot of the legend of St. Valentine has been clouded over with time and mystery. The legend might be just that – a legend. But if any part of it is true, then someone died because he believed that love was worth celebrating. So, perhaps I should honor his memory by giving it a try. We'll see how it goes, but in the meantime, I wish all of you, no matter how you celebrate it – a very happy Valentine's Day.

Wow – that was a ton of information on Valentine's Day that makes me long for my days in the first grade when all I knew was that I would get a homemade valentine from a classmate, and they were extra special…Happy Valentine's Day to you, too – however you choose to celebrate this year!
Haha! Glad I could at least stir up some happy childhood memories! 🙂 And yes grade school Valentine's Day was the best. All that candy!
That's a FASCINATING, well-researched history of Valentine's Day, M.B. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I decided I just had to look into it to see what was really behind it all. I was most surprised by a lot of the things I found 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to give this a read!
Great history! Hope you have a better Valentines Day that St. Valentine did (keep your head).
I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day but your post was insightful and interesting. Great read!
Thank you! Glad I could at least bring some insight. We'll see how it goes this year, because it's never been my favorite holiday either!
This was very informative! i knew a little about this and some other legend about a massacre on Feb. 14th. I really liked the way you ended this with declaring the day worth celebrating if someone died for the sake of celebrating love. Awesome story! Hope you have a very happy Valentines Day with Joel. As always, thank you for sharing your interesting story!
Thanks for a history lesson. Sometimes is good to hear how and when some holiday started, so we can look at it from a bit different perspective.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Also I couldn't agree more, looking into something deeper might give us a better understanding and even appreciation.
A great read–fascinating and well researched. Have a great day tomorrow!
LOL! Right back at ya! Glad you enjoyed the post and that it brought some new perspective.
Great job with that post and thanks for sharing! I had heard bits and pieces of the history but never a good synopsis like yours! Besides..I share your sentiments that Valentine's Day is a bit overdone in our culture, especially the amount we pay for some things! Though Im fine with cards and a treat–and knowing there is probably some truth to the sacrifice Valentine made for love…makes it more meaningful to celebrate.
MB Henry – Your right about Valentines Day. I think that it's just a way of making money during the Winter months. My Wife and I don't really celebrate this at all. You don't need a special day to tell someone you love them. Buying gifts, candy, and jewelry can get way to expensive. My Loving Wife has way too many diamonds to get more!
I agree that every day can be a special day, and a day to tell someone you love them. My husband and I will celebrate it this year to give it a try, since neither of us have really done so before. We'll see if we get a feel for it at all! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and giving this a read!
enlightening. i'm not a fan of valentine's day either. i enjoyed the part about the lover's lottery.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I had never heard of that lupercalia festival so that was interesting to learn about. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed Valentine's, sounds like it was very relaxing. Ours was pretty nice too. We went out to a local wine bar, and enjoyed a nice light meal. Then we went and got a couple's massage. It was very relaxing!
Well it's always a pleasure having you visit 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the post 🙂 It always helps to add more perspective!
It was indeed nice! Very relaxing and not over-hyped. Glad you stopped by and enjoyed the post 🙂 Hope your V-Day was good too!
I have never been a fan a valentines either. But your post made it much more interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Glad I could help! 🙂 It ended up being a pretty nice day for us. We'll see about next year haha!
I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day, either. My more recent complaints mostly concern the ridiculously elaborate Valentine's box I am expected to make every year for my kids' classroom parties. I'm not sure how this Pinterest nightmare of a tradition got started, but it's one more reason I'm not a fan. Maybe I will attempt to make peace with the day next year. My oldest will finally be in middle school and I shouldn't have to make any crafts.
Geesh. What happened to the simple days of just having them exchange valentine cards from the store with little heart candies in them? Here's hoping you get a break from that next year!
We don't celebrate Valentine's Day – I hate the commercialism.
I don't know how I missed this one, M.B.! I really enjoyed this!

As football season approaches, a reminder on KU Athletics' new security policies
By Joanna Hlavacek
Next week brings the start of a new football season at the University of Kansas — and with it ramped-up security measures meant to keep fans safe in the wake of a new law allowing concealed carry of weapons on campus.
The news that KU would install metal detectors and security guards at football and men's basketball games — as well as ban purses at all ticketed sporting events — came in April, when KU received formal Kansas Board of Regents approval to ban guns from games at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse. But with the football team's first home game on Sept. 2, KU Athletics officials want to make sure visitors understand the new policies.
"I think the number-one message that we would give our fans is that they should arrive early," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director for public affairs.
If you'd prefer not to miss kickoff, he added, make sure to enter the stadium gates (which open to the general public 90 minutes before) a bit earlier than you would normally.
On the KU campus, metal detectors and guards will be stationed primarily at football and men's basketball games, but also at any sporting event expected to draw more than 5,000 people. While Kansas law requires state universities to permit concealed handguns on campus, it also allows exceptions for facilities where adequate security measures — such as metal detectors and guards — are in place to ensure no guns are brought inside.
To that end, KU is putting in place approximately 65 portable metal detectors around Memorial Stadium, and also is adding at least seven entry points in an effort to make the process as efficient as possible. The same design will be used at all home games, Marchiony said, with metal detectors being installed and then taken down each time.
The entire south end of the stadium has been reconfigured, essentially, as a "concourse" with entry to the southeast and southwest. For years, only "Touchdown Club" members were allowed entry through the stadium's south side.
Starting next week, that end of Memorial Stadium will have seven gates, with two dedicated as express lanes meant to expedite the process for those not carrying bags. The stadium's north side will have six gates, though KU Athletics officials are still trying to work out how many will become express lanes.
"You just walk right in and walk through the metal detector and get your ticket scanned and be on your way," said Brad Nachtigal, associate athletic director for operations and capital projects.
Nachtigal and his colleagues are strongly encouraging fans to avoid bringing bags of any kind to KU Athletics events. Starting this fall, any nonclear bag larger than 8.5-by-5.5 inches (about the size of a small clutch or pocketbook) will be prohibited. Bags must be clear, plastic, vinyl or PVC, and should not exceed 12-by-6-by-12 inches. One-gallon clear freezer bags, such as Ziploc brand, are also allowed.
Everything else — including purses, backpacks, fanny packs, camera and binocular cases, chairbacks and diaper bags — is prohibited. Exceptions will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection by a KU Athletics staffer at the entry gate.
In short, it's best to travel light and arrive early.
"Obviously we'd like this to go as smoothly and as flawlessly as possible, but with our first-time setup and use of this system and the equipment, and the entry points and gates all changing, we have what we feel is a very solid plan to make the experience best for our fans," Nachtigal said.
Between the metal detectors, gate reconfiguration, new signage, bulked-up security staff and other new equipment, costs associated with the new policies are approaching $1 million, Marchiony said. KU Athletics is paying for the security measures with funding from its operating budget.
Fortunately for sports fans, the entry process at Memorial Stadium, he said, won't be all that dissimilar to visiting Kansas City's Sprint Center, Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium. Other universities have had comparable security policies in place for years, Marchiony said.
"This is not a new process for many, many folks," he said. "It's just creating an awareness that it's happening at Memorial Stadium so that folks are going to have to adjust the behavior that they've been used to."
The Jayhawks face off against Southeast Missouri State at 6 p.m. Sept. 2 in Memorial Stadium.

With more than 600 gifts received and a total of more than $325,000 raised from midnight to midnight on April 21, St. Bonaventure University marked a milestone with the success of its first-ever Giving Day.
For a 24-hour period, alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends from around the world joined together in support of St. Bonaventure, setting university records for the greatest number of online gifts received in one day and the largest online daily gift total.
The more than $325,000 represents 608 total gifts, with 61 first-time donors, 105 young alumni donations, and 34 new members to the $1,000+ Devereux Giving Societies. The Giving Day also set new record totals for online giving in one day, generating 496 online gifts worth more than $138,000. This is eight times the number of gifts and more than double the dollar amount than the previous records set in December 2013.
Friendly alumni challenges generated excitement throughout the day-long event and highlighted its "Rise to the Challenge" theme.
Plans are already underway for #BonaGivingDay2017, Picard added.


There aren't many places in the US that you could plan an outdoor wedding in December, but Palm Springs is one of them. Josh and Rebecca were married surrounded by all their friends and family at Smoke Tree Ranch, a large, sprawling property dating back to the 1930s. Josh and Rebecca wanted a film that focused as much on the interactions between the guests as on their love story. With a large wedding party and high guest count to work with, there were a lot of fun moments to be captured, including some lively dancing and a fantastic donut wall made by Hailey, Josh's sister. But at the core of the film is the story of Rebecca and Josh and the day that they officially joined their lives together.

Wagner Wealth Management, which has $260 million in assets under advisement as a registered investment adviser (RIA), chose Triad to support its growth plans, said Dan Wagner, the firm's president. The firm expects to close acquisitions with RIAs in the San Francisco, CA area and in Asheville, NC, by the end of this year, Wagner said.
The Atlanta-based Triad, which now works with around 600 advisors around the country, was bought by Ladenburg Thalmann in 2008 and has approximately $21 billion in assets under management. The company's total revenues rose last year to $156 million, a 27 percent increase from 2012. That put Triad at 33 on the FP50 ranking of independent broker-dealers — a jump from the 38th spot in 2011.
Triad's access to Ladenburg Thalmann's investment banking services was a big draw for the firm, Wagner said.
"The investment banking relationship gives us more capabilities with our business owner clients, and gives them access to strategic capital for growth," Wagner said.
The deal is part of what is known as a hybrid model, said Nathan Stibbs, Triad's senior vice president of national business development.
"Hybrid advisors have their own brand and have built their fee-based business," he said. "They have more flexibility, with access to multiple custodians, and they can provide a better platform for growth, including recruiting and/or acquiring other firms."

Lack of skilled personnel for healthcare facilities in rural areas in India has been a chronic problem for several decades now. Since the 1990s, various measures have been recommended and adopted for recruitment and retention of doctors and other skilled health care personnel in rural areas. Providing financial incentives is reported to be the most common strategy. However, comprehensive evaluations of the effectiveness of these measures in the Indian context are rare. This study attempts to fill this gap by undertaking an assessment of the financial incentives scheme for the recruitment and retention of health professionals in the state of Orissa.
This study is based on document reviews and open ended interviews conducted with doctors and other health officials at the state and district level. The districts, the health facilities and the doctors were purposively selected. Two districts from the 11 incentive districts (Koraput and Kalahandi) and one from the non-incentive districts (Mayurbhanj) were studied.
A total of 27 health facilities were selected. We interviewed a total number of 35 respondents. Of these, 30 doctors were from peripheral facilities of which 11 were from the non-incentive districts and 19 from the two incentive districts. The interview guide covered topics on the respondents' views on the incentives scheme, reasons for joining Government health services, general unwillingness to work in remote areas and suggestions on attracting and retaining doctors in the government health services. Field work was conducted in December 2011-February 2012.
The results of the study indicate that incentives have not been very effective in improving availability of doctors in public health facilities, specifically in the peripheral institutions. It was not the monetary incentive that was the motivating factor for joining or staying in the public sector but a variety of personal and other reasons that influenced this choice. These reasons included limited options of getting jobs in private sector, provisions of reservation of seats for post-graduation for in-service doctors and unsatisfactory service and working conditions. Other factors like increasing administrative work load, poor infrastructure and overall backwardness of the region also influenced the choice to work in rural areas.
Vacancies in several non-incentive districts were equal to or even higher than that in the incentivized districts. The basis for selecting regions for which incentives are given was not very clear. The financial incentive measure remains a `temporary' one, subject to annual renewal on concurrence from the Department of Finance. Some improvements due to the National Rural Health Mission seem to be at the cost of increasing administrative work of medical officers, leaving little time for clinical work and study.
While the shortage of doctors may be particularly acute in parts of Orissa, evidence from other parts of India shows that it afflicts all the states, to a greater or lesser extent. Further, the shortage is not limited to just rural facilities; public hospitals in urban areas too are facing similar problems. Reinforcing available evidence, our study shows that isolated measures focusing only on incentivization cannot redress the problem of chronic shortage of human resources in public health facilities in both rural and urban areas. Improving infrastructure, living and service conditions of the doctors along with incentives would go a long way in attracting and retaining doctors in public health facilities, specifically in rural areas.
Findings from our study also suggest the need for more research evidence to understand the persistent dysfunctional status of the public health facilities in the context of the role of the state and its political and economic ideologies. What are the barriers to achieving satisfactory working conditions for doctors, to health systems strengthening? Why only piece-meal measures from recommendations for comprehensive strategies and systemic approaches are implemented? Can the shortage of personnel for public sector health facilities be addressed without confronting the influence and impact of the larger political ideologies and compulsions of neo-liberalization, and the drive by the states towards promoting private interests in every sector, including healthcare? The answers to these will influence the very understanding of universal health coverage and strategies adopted for health systems strengthening.
The study was funded by the ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth-Centre for Child Health and Nutrition (IFIG-CCHN).

This year I was lucky enough to cross off one more item on my Disney bucket list – I went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I love Christmas time and of course, I love Disney, so combining them was something I have long dreamt about.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a separate hard ticketed event meaning that even though it takes place at the Magic Kingdom, your Magic Kingdom admission alone does not gain you entrance into the party. The party lasts from 7pm to midnight and admission tickets can be purchased for about $54-$68 depending on dates attended and the age of the guests. Check out http://www.travelwiththemagic.com/2012-mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party.html for more party information.
During the party you will experience many exclusive experiences including Character greetings not available during normal park hours, Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade, complementary hot cocoa and cookies, Cinderella's castle like you've never seen it before and a fireworks show that will stay with you long into the new year.
The party is scheduled to begin at 7 pm when the Magic Kingdom closes to non-ticket holding guests, but on most nights guests with party tickets can start entering the Magic Kingdom at 4 pm. If you were at another park that day, or not visiting a park at all, you simply present your Christmas Party ticket to enter the park. Once inside the turnstiles, Cast Members will present you with a special wristband to confirm that you have used your Christmas Party ticket for admission to be in the park past closing.
If you have been in the Magic Kingdom that day, you will need to proceed to one of the wristband stations (one at the main entrance or one in Adventureland) around 4 pm or so to receive your wristband. Early in the evening we were stopped multiple times by Cast Members asking to see our Christmas Party wristband to verify our admission.
Some of the Christmas Party events actually start before 7 pm (probably to entice those who haven't purchased the party tickets to think about purchasing them next time!) including Cinderella arriving on the castle stage with her Fairy Godmother to "wish" her castle transformed and then right before your eyes, the castle is covered in icicles.
The holiday themed light show on the Castle is amazing. Make sure you get a spot near the castle so you can see all the amazing details in the show that happens on the castle.
And what would a party at the Magic Kingdom be without fireworks? The "Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season" fireworks are everything you expect from Disney and more! Seeing them over Cinderella's dream light covered castle brought tears to my eyes. Holiday Wishes is a fantastic fireworks show.
The Once Upon a Christmastime parade is not to be missed! But don't worry, it runs twice during your party. Prepare for Disney to exhilarate all of your senses – especially sight, hearing and SMELL. I won't say more because I don't want to ruin the surprise, but keep your nose open! We met characters and rode attractions during the first parade hoping that the crowd would thin out for the second parade, which it did somewhat, but was more crowded than I expected. I would definitely recommend getting to your viewing area ahead of time if you want a good seat with a good view!
During the Christmas party, all park aspects reflect a special Christmas cheer. There are character greetings that can only be seen during special events including Cinderella, Prince Charming, her Stepmother and Stepsisters all greeting guests as a group. The Princesses, in special holiday attire, are never far from their Princes and you can even find characters like Uncle Scrooge during the party.
The shops will be open during the party and some of the stores carry special Christmas Party merchandise that is ONLY available during parties, so if you see something you like, make sure you buy it.
There are even character dance parties! Club Tinsel (inside Cosmic Ray's) is one of the spots where you can find some of your favorite Disney characters cutting a rug! We danced with festively dressed Chip and Dale and Goofy dressed in his finest Santa suit.
A lot of guests use the parties as a way to ride their favorite attractions with VERY minimal wait times. Even on a sold out night we were able to walk on to Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Not all attractions operate during the party, but we had a blast riding the ones that were open!
Don't forget to eat! Even though the park is open until midnight, some of the dining locations close earlier). I would recommend eating at a quick service location to maximize your time in the park during this event. We ate at Pinnochio's Village Haus and I was pleasantly surprised by their new menu items. I had a caprese flatbread pizza and tomato basil soup. The quality was definitely similar to a sit down restaurant back home (rather than a fast food type meal). Complementary hot cocoa and cookie stations are set up throughout the park and are identified on the map and on an inflatable signpost outside of the location. Unless you're exceptionally cold or hungry, don't rush to get in line for these free goodies – they will be there all night!
One of my favorite memories of the night was walking down Main Street with SNOW falling! It was such an amazing night and an experience I cannot wait to share with my family. The Magic Kingdom during this time of year is beautiful (day or night)!

Washington Nationals select Patrick Corbin for first career start on Opening Day
JUPITER, Fla. — Patrick Corbin will make his first Opening Day start for the Washington Nationals on Thursday against the New York Mets, manager Dave Martinez said Saturday.
"He feels strong and, like I said, he's throwing the ball where he wants to," Martinez said. "So he's good. I'm really looking forward to seeing him come out and compete on April 7."
Corbin, 32, enjoyed the best year of his career in 2019, his first with Washington. He went 14-7 with a 3.25 ERA while helping the Nationals win their only World Series title.
The left-hander struggled in each of the last two seasons, going 11-23 combined. Last season, his ERA shot up to 5.82.
Martinez says he'll see a different pitcher this spring.
"The biggest thing I noticed about him is that he's not fighting with himself mechanically," Martinez said.
Corbin's last scheduled spring start on Saturday was moved up a few hours and to the back fields of the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in an effort to avoid the forecast overnight rain. He threw 90 pitches in six innings.
"He threw the ball well," Martinez said. "It felt good. Like I said, he had a good camp and some of the things that we talked to him about at the end of last year, he really came this year and worked on a lot of things this winter and came back."
Corbin signed a six-year, $140 million contract to join the Nats in 2019.
"I want him to go out there and compete and just have fun and be the guy that he was in 2019 and before," Martinez said.
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg won't be ready to start the season as he recovers from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. The Nationals reduced Strasburg's workload earlier this spring, but now he's back throwing bullpens. He hasn't pitched in a Grapefruit League game.
Another projected starter, Erick Fedde, is concerned with an oblique injury but could still start the season in the Nationals' rotation.
Washington reassigned Cade Cavalli to minor league camp on Saturday, meaning 36-year-old right-hander Anibal Sanchez will likely start the season in the rotation, as will Josh Rogers and Josiah Gray. Washington brought Sánchez to camp on a minor league contract.
Joan Adon, a 23-year-old right-hander, was scheduled to fill in as the Nationals' starter on Saturday night against Miami, ultimately rained out, and could find himself in the rotation if any of the previous pitchers suffer a setback.

Q: DC.js scatterPlot ordinal axis tick position How can I position the value points directly above the ticks (or the ticks directly under the points), using DC.js. I could not manage that, DC.js (or D3.js) positions the value points shifted to the left of the ticks, although the X-value is exactly the tick value.
Important: I need this feature for ordinal X axis (it works fine for linear X axis)!

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – More than 120 bodies of migrants who died trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe have washed up around Sabratha in western Libya this month, the city's mayor said on Sunday.
Nearly 90,000 migrants had crossed the central Mediterranean to Italy as of this week, the IOM said, a 14 percent increase on the previous year.
A U.N.-backed government that has been trying to establish itself in Tripoli since March says tackling migration is among its priorities.
But the government is struggling to manage complex security and economic challenges, and still faces political opposition on the ground.
Thwadi said he had raised the issue with the new government's leadership but had not yet received any concrete response.

Q: when talking about phonics, is this use of the word "sound" correct? Sound is a verb, so you can say "the computer sounds the noise"
But can you say, "the letter K sounds kuh" and "what does the letter K sound?"
I understand you can say "what does K sound like, what is the sound of K, etc." but when trying to make that sentence as simple as possible, asking "what does the letter sound?" and "the Letter sounds __" seems grammatically correct, but doesn't feel like its correct. sounds very weird to me.
So is my sentence correct? and if it isn't, what would be the absolute simplest way to ask and answer that question.

With thanks to Leslie Harris, Product Manager, Cancer Research UK Citizen Science Team, for writing this blog post.
Reverse The Odds is Cancer Research UK's third Citizen Science project. It puts pathology data analysis into the hands of people around the world by embedding it into a fun and compelling mobile game.
Medical research generates huge amounts of data. Oncology is no exception. As our understanding of this family of diseases increases, so does the need for analysis. The promise of personalised medicine – understanding how an individual's disease might progress and how to optimise their treatment – opens up innumerable avenues for enquiry, but all of these require more data and more analysis.
Much of this analysis, particularly in pathology, is still best done by the human eye. That's why we want to serve this sort of data to as many people as possible. We've had success crowd sourcing pathology analysis before in Cell Slider, launched in 2012, and we experimented with gamifying breast cancer microarray analysis in Genes in Space (which received widespread media coverage and was downloaded over 300,000 times since launch in February 2014). Reverse the Odds is the culmination of what we've learned so far and an attempt to combine the accurate analysis of Cell Slider with the mass appeal of Genes in Space, made possible by the increasing prevalence of connected mobile devices.
The project has benefitted from being truly collaborative. It started with the vision of one very determined woman, Claire McArdle, Executive Producer for Multiplatform at Maverick TV, who was inspired enough by our citizen science work to pull this project together. The game was generously sponsored and published by Channel 4 and produced by the multiplatform team at Maverick TV. Designers and developers at The Chunk Group dreamed up and brought to life the weird and wonderful world of the Odds. In addition to powering the technical back-end of the project, the citizen science experts at The Zooniverse lent a huge amount of support and knowledge. Crucially, we had the advice of a panel of scientists, including two eminent pathologists who had been involved with Cell Slider. We were incredibly lucky to work with such a skilled team, and learned the value of being able to work with specialists in game design, development and publication. We were able to produce a much better product by leveraging these skills and letting the experts get on with what they do best.
Our previous projects were centred around one research group and its particular data challenge. Understanding the scale of the pathology data bottleneck, we wanted to make sure Reverse The Odds could be used for multiple pathology datasets. To do this, we worked with our panel of scientists to develop a superset of analysis questions that would cover a range of datasets. Chunk designed the analysis tutorial as a standalone unit that can be customised for each dataset with the pre-defined questions and not need additional development or resubmission through the app stores. Last summer, we tested this with five datasets from two researchers to ensure the process worked and that the results generated by the public were accurate.
One of the major challenges was trying to build a compelling game loop that incentivises a high volume of analysis without tempting people to sacrifice accuracy. We have seen elsewhere how leader boards based on number of classifications or other aspects of game play can encourage inaccurate analysis. Chunk decided to use a classic puzzle mechanic for the main game play and adopt the freemium game model, where players unlock points or bonuses through in-app purchases - but in Reverse The Odds basing in-game rewards on users completing analysis that matches other players' results. By separating the game from the analysis, we could ensure the game stayed fun, the analysis stayed pure, and that we were rewarding players for the right behaviour. It's really exciting to think of the potential of this approach for our data challenges.
Reverse The Odds was launched in October 2014. To date we've had over 2.7 million classifications and analysed five datasets. The game is currently analysing data for Dr Anne Kiltie, a clinical oncologist at Oxford, who is investigating how different tumour markers in bladder cancer can predict how a patient might respond to different treatments; and Professor Gareth Thomas, a pathologist in Southampton who is investigating responses to immunotherapy in lung cancer.
From glasses to help reclaim sight for the blind to 3D-printed prosthetics, I'm honoured that Reverse The Odds has been recognised among outstanding Social Tech projects. I love health tech, and I'm particularly inspired by Dhilcare and MobileOCT, which use smartphone technology to bring high standard-of-care diagnostics to poor and rural areas - amazingly simple innovations that could be truly transformative.

Q: Mongoose Put using req.body. Populate some fields or empty string others I'm copying the req.body value to an object literal to populate foods in my mongo table. However, some foods might not come in the req.body so I'm wondering if there's a way to use an OR statement.
Eg
color: req.body.color || ''

I need to try and build an object to run a findByIdAndUpdate(id, newObj, {new: true})
This keeps failing and I'm not understanding why.

A: You can use ternary operators.
Example:
var someObj = {
   color: req.body.color ? req.body.color : ''
}


We are looking for a someone to design a logo/brand for that we can use for our wedding. We would like to use this brand for things like napkins, invitations, thank you cards, favors, etc. There is a chance that we would like the brand to be embroidered onto a coat as well.
The details on us and our wedding: We are a fun, creative, and a little bit quirky couple. We are drawn more to simplistic, less busy designs- nothing too fancy. We are getting married on an Alaska cruise because we are adventurous and love travel.
- The letters E and R; either lowercase or UPPERCASE.
- An ampersand (the and symbol) or a + or some other way of joining or intertwining the two letters together.
- Our wedding colors are green (emerald/kelly), orange (pumpkin), and yellow (sunshine/canary), but it is not required to use these colors.
Please feel free to ask us any questions during the contest and we'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our contest. We were more than pleased with all of the entries and we wish all of you luck in the future!
maybe, what did you have in mind?
Hi we are very busy and wanted to respond to everyone we like so we have extended the contest.
hello, please check #121. Please send feedback. thank you!
Hello designers! Thank you all for your creative submissions! We would like to offer a bit more clarification on what we are looking for. We prefer letters and fonts that are NOT too swirly or fancy. We very much like simplistic and unique typography with not too much extra frill. We think that a lot of you are going for elegance, since it is a wedding, but that is not really us. we prefer something more simplistic. Please feel free to ask questions. Thanks!
cursive styled letters are fine, we just prefer it not to be so swirly. thanks!
please check #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30. Thanks!
We like the idea of only using the letters to make the logo. good work. any other ideas?
These are classic fonts that I put my own originality on. You can add or remove "&" signs or anything you decide to go with. I've provided several different logos for the two of you. Thank you!
Thank you. We would love to see how they look digitally. do you have that?

Q: ASP.NET AJAX: button inside an updatepanel causes the OnClick event to fire before window.onbeforeunload aspx:

code behind
protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //save data
}

protected void btnCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
}

If I click the Cancel button and there are unsaved data, I'd get a prompt to click OK to continue or Cancel to stay on this page, as expected. However, when I press Cancel to stay on this page, I get an unspecified error in one of Microsoft AJAX javascript.
What I think happened is that the OnCilck event is fired before the window.onbeforeunload function.  How can I make sure that the OnClick event only fires if the user clicked OK to continue and not when Cancel to stay on this page is clicked?

A: Remove the OnClick method from the Cancel button and replace it with OnClieckClick and call the unsavedData() function.
If you would like to use the OnClick as well as the OnClientClick, refer to this post for the solution: OnclientClick and OnClick is not working at the same time?

The fight to save historic Lowell began as a grassroots effort. One of the activist leaders of the effort was Patrick Mogan, then Assistant Superintendent of the Lowell Public Schools, who pushed for creative alternatives to urban renewal.
In 1966, Mogan and a group of civic leaders obtained funding through President Johnson's Model Cities program. Their project combined preservation and education in the historic Acre neighborhood. Mogan led the education part of the project. They scaled up their plans to encompass more of the city. Mogan and his allies referred to their ideas as the "City as a Classroom," and the area as an "Urban Cultural Park."
In 1970 the U.S. Department of the Interior announced plans to create fourteen new parks near urban areas. This seemed like a perfect opportunity for Mogan's vision to be realized. Initially, National Park Service officials did not believe enough sound historic structures survived in Lowell to warrant National Park status. In 1974 Paul Tsongas won a seat in Congress and was determined to keep up the fight. In 1975 Congress established the "Lowell Historic Canal District Commission" to investigate the viability of a historical park in Lowell.
With the 1978 legislation introduced by Paul Tsongas, Congress created a new park to be managed by the National Park Service. Based on the report of the Historic Canal District Commission, the bill also established the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission to supervise a downtown "Preservation District" for a finite period of time. The Commission continued until 1995. The park now sits in the heart of the Preservation District.
With the establishment of the park and the commission, Lowell's activists and civic leaders had achieved their immediate goal and began the long process of turning their vision into a reality.
President Jimmy Carter signed the legislation creating Lowell NHP in 1978. Senator Edward Kennedy and Representative Paul Tsongas, passionate supporters of a National Park in Lowell, were given pens used to sign the legislation.
The Park Bill
The Lowell Sun published a special commemorative section celebrating President Carter's signing of the park's legislation. Senator Ted Kennedy and Congressman Paul Tsongas, two of the park's strongest national advocates, received commemorative signing pens.

The Brown Book
In 1975 the United States Congress created the Lowell Historic Canal District Commission to study Lowell's prospects for joining the National Park System. The commission's report, commonly known as the "Brown Book," has served as a roadmap ever since, embodying the park's vision and guiding its activities.
Writing about the Brown Book, Superintendent Celeste Bernardo described the cover image as "a black and white image of the sturdy loom fixer Albert Biro standing among machines on a factory floor in one of the last textile mills. Superimposed on his grimy work shirt is a small circular badge imprinted with a diagram of the Lowell canal system. The message was clear from the start: The extraordinary account of canal-building and textile production in Lowell cannot be told without the central narrative about the people who built this city and gave it a soul."

Preservation and Restoration
Almost five million square feet of former mill space have been rehabilitated for mixed use, including commercial spaces, residences, museums, and education-related organizations.
The Lowell Historic Preservation Commission was vital in establishing the ongoing effort to preserve historic structures, complementing the work of the National Park Service. The Commission collaborated with developers, arranging for financial incentives like low-interest loans and tax credits.
Many of Lowell's historic buildings look untouched from their earliest days but actually required extensive restoration to reveal their historic character.

Preservation in Action
Historic preservation and work in a preservation district can take many forms. Some of Lowell's historic buildings were lost to newer development, including the Kirk Boott mansion house which served as a residence in one location, a hospital in another, and then was demolished in the 1960s.
The Lowell Historic Preservation Commission and the City of Lowell have both worked to re-establish a historic look and feel in the Preservation District, including installing historically appropriate lights in parks and along canalways. Each lamppost is cast from multiple molds like this one.

As a new operator, Cayman Diving needed to distinguish themselves from their on-island competitors, while also making it easy for visitors to find and learn about them online.
Luckily, the category-defining name, 'Cayman Diving', was available and, with advice from BB&P, secured by the company. That name set the foundation for the development of the definitive diving brand, and also the online search strategy for the website.
The visual approach to the brand had to cut through the traditionally cluttered world of dive operator branding, while at the same time creating a strong identity that performs largely online and on the water.
The result is a positioning of 'serious fun' for Cayman Diving, with supporting symbology inspired by legends of mermaids in the waters of the Cayman Islands. The islands themselves are represented by three stars.
A new fully-responsive website was developed as part of the new brand suite. Video, a key component of the website, quickly and easily conveys the type of experience visitors could expect on the water with the new dive operation.
The response to the new brand has been considerable among oth visitors and residents. Since the rebrand, Cayman Diving have quickly expanded from one to five boats, acquiring another dive operation in the process and purchasing their own waterfront location in the capital, George Town.

The Henry Parkes Foundation was set up in December 1998 by Parkes' descendants and others, both to honour Sir Henry himself — the man dubbed 'Father of Federation' — and to carry forward his egalitarian vision for Australia in ways relevant to today.
The Foundation aims to encourage Australians to find out more about their country's political and constitutional history, and about how they can participate as citizens. Its activities include an annual oration, with a distinguished speaker focusing on challenging social/political issues in Australian society, with some reference to the ideals and objectives of Parkes.
The Foundation has also sponsored annual citizenship conventions for schools at NSW Parliament House, designed to help students understand how politics affects their lives and how they can be involved. Topics have included whether Australia should become a republic, reconciliation, 'voting counts', 'mobilising for peace', social justice, and ecological sustainability.
2020 oration:
Professor Mark Kenny
Why looking back is the only way forward: COVID-19, the Federation, and the chance of genuine reconciliation.

Q: How to display modifications (e.g. for svn) of cruisecontrol.net Is it possible to display what modifications are part of the current build before the build has completed in the Web dashboard for CruiseControl.net?
I have been trying to figure out if this is possible in the status. Sometimes I am asked if certain changes are in the current build and it would be just as easy to point someone to the server report and have them check. But currently modifications are not reported until the entire build is completed.
So in the status, you would see that it successfully completed the 'multisource get source' and under that it would report the changes. My guess it would have to somehow be tied to the modifications.xls file.
This came to a head today as we were having build problems and there was a build that actually did not report a svn modification which is clearly dated earlier than the build start time. So there is no way to confirm if the change is in the build or not. There is no log file to confirm what changes were pulled or not pulled from svn.
Thanks in advance.

A: In CruiseControl.net there is no native way to extract the modifications during the build. The following are options:

*

*Include the ModificationWriter task as the first task - or at least early in the list of tasks.

*

*this could then be interrogated to see the modifications that triggered the build

*this task is normally included in the publisher section so I cannot guarantee it will work

*you would ideally need to send the contents of the file somewhere/somehow as per the previous answer

*There is a environment variable included in all executions LastChangeNumber (if memory serves correctly) this contains the hash/revision that is being built against.

*

*this can be output in the build log and may help

*we use this and I can confirm it works

*it is empty if the build is forced manually

Post build, the build log will typically contain the modifications that triggered the build but your question relates to seeing the modifications mid build.

A: CC.NET can write out the SVN modifications to a file at start build time using the
Modification Writer Task
What we do is read this file and send an email at build start time with the modifications. We have to read the modifications file and create the email ourselves. We do it in Nant. It accomplishes exactly what you desire.

Builder's Engineer: CAUSES OF FAILURES OF FOUNDATIONS AND REMEDIAL MEASURES.
CAUSES OF FAILURES OF FOUNDATIONS AND REMEDIAL MEASURES.
1. Unequal settlement of sub-soil. Unequal settlement of the sub-soil may lead to cracks in the structural components and rotation thereof. Unequal settlement of sub-soil may be due to (i) non-uniform nature of sub-soil throughout the foundation, (ii) unequal load distribution of the soil strata, and (iii) eccentric loading. The failures of foundation due to unequal settlement can be checked by : (i) resting the foundation on rigid strata, such as rock or hard moorum, (ii) proper design of the base of footing, so that it can resist cracking, (iii) limiting the pressure in the soil, and (iv)avoiding eccentric loading.
2. Unequal settlement of masonry. As stated earlier, foundation includes the portion of the structure which is below ground level. This portion of masonry, situated between the ground level and concrete footing(base) has mortar joints which may either shrink or compress, leading to unequal settlement of masoray. Due to this, the superstructure will also have cracks. This could be checked by (i) using mortar of proper strength, (ii) using thin mortar joints, (iii) restricting the height of masonry to 1 m per day if lime mortar is used and 1.5 m per day if cement mortar is used, and (iv) properly watering the masonry.
3. Sub-soil moisture movement. This is one of the major causes of failures of footings on cohesive soil, where the sub-soil water level fluctuates. When water table drops down, shrinkage of sub-soil takes place. Due to this, there is lack of sub-soil support to the footings which crack, resulting in the cracks in the building.
During upward movement of moisture, the soil (specially if it is expansive) swells resulting in high swelling pressure. If the foundation and superstructure is unable to resist the swelling pressure, cracks are induced.
4. Lateral pressure on the walts. The walls transmitling the load to the foundation may be subjected to lateral pressure or thrust from a pitched roof or an arch or wind action. Due to this, the foundation will be subjected to a moment (or resultant eccentric load). If the foundation has not been designed for such a situation, it may fail by either overturning or by generation of tensile stresses on one side and high compressive stresses on the other side of the footing.
5. Lateral Movement of sub-soil This is applicable to very soft soil which are liable to move out or squeeze out laterally under vertical loads, specially at locations where the ground is sloping. Such a situation may also arise in granular soils where a big pit is excavated in the near vicinity of the foundation. Due to such movement, excessive settlements take place, or the structure may even collapse. If such a situation exists, sheet piles should be driven to prevent the lateral movement or escape of the soil.
6. Weathering of sub-soil due to trees and shrubs. Sometimes, small trees, shrubs or hedge is grown very near to the wall. The roots of these shrubs absorb moisture from the foundation soil, resulting in reduction of their voids and even weathering. Due to this the ground near the wall depresses down. If the roots penetrates below the level of footing, settlements may increase, resulting in foundation cracks.
7. Atmospheric action. The behaviour of foundation may be adversely affected due to atmospheric agents such as sun, wind, and rains. If the depth of foundaion is shallow, moisture movements due to rains or drought may cause trouble. If the building lies in a low lying area, foundation may even be scoured. If the water remains stagnant near the foundation, it will remain constantly damp, resulting in the decrease in the strength of footing or foundation wall. Hence it is always recommended to provide suitable plinth protection along the external walls by (i) filling back the foundation trenches with good soil and compacting it, (ii) providing gentle ground slope away from the wall and (iii) providing a narrow, sloping strip of impervious material (such as of lime or lean cement concrete) along the exterior walls.

Q: What is the life time of iteration variable in for-each loop What is the life time of iteration variable in for-each loop? final variable can't be used as iteration variable in for loop but for-each loop can. What's the reason for that?
class Example1{
public static void main(String args[]){
    int[] marks={10,20,30,40,50,60,70};
    for(final int a : marks){
        System.out.println(a);
    }
}

}
class Example2{
public static void main(String args[]){
    int[] marks={10,20,30,40,50,60,70};
    for(final int a=0;a<marks.length;a++){ //compile error
        System.out.println(a);
    }
}

}
class Example3{
public static void main(String args[]){
    int[] marks={10,20,30,40,50,60,70};
    int a=0; // final int a is illegal
    for(;a<marks.length;a++){
        System.out.println(a);
    }
}

}

A: The scope of any variable is with the { } brackets it is defined in.  However in this case it is limit to the for-each itself.
// you cannot use `a` here
for(final int a : marks){
    System.out.println(a);
}
// you cannot use `a` here

A: I'm not sure about it, but it seems that the definition of scope's variable is to be created (allocated), alive (used) and killed (desallocated). This happens into function brackets and parameters' life.
From this example:
for (final int a : marks) {
    System.out.println(a);
}

Here, you have a in () which is allocated in memory AND also a in {}. Thus, you have two allocations, two creations. At the end of brackets - end of using function -, the two variables are desallocated and destroyed from memory.
Therefore, using a outside {} is impossible because it's destroyed. To use this value (not sure that will be revelant with for loop, but it's to understand the idea), you have to create outside the {} of the function as follows:
int a = 0; // variable inside class

foo() {
    a = 3; // changed from foo function
}

bar() {
    System.out.println(a); // used from bar function
}

From this above example, you see that a can be used outside foo() function, because its allocation is outside it (outside { ... }).

A: You're confusing two things here: scope, which others have explained, and the final modifier. You can use final in cases like this:
for(final int a : marks) {
    ...
}

because a is never changed once it goes into scope. It changes for each iteration of the loop, but essentially it is a new variable with each iteration.
However, you cannot use final here:
for(final int a=0; a<marks.length; a++) { // compile error
    ...
}

because the loop variable is changing with every iteration, due to the third expression in the for statement, which in your case is a++ (in other words, add one to a, which causes a compile error if a is declared final).


Address: 1687 Pensacola St, Honolulu, HI 96822.
Built in 1975, 12 Floors with 54 Units, Studio - 2BR, Pets: No.
Conveniently located close to everything, without the congestion.
What can truly make your living experience are your neighbors. We can tell you that you've got some good ones at Rose Terrace. Back in this part of the Makiki/Punchbowl area, you're in the middle of a real Honolulu neighborhood.
It's a block to Stevenson Intermediate and Roosevelt High School. Most of the lots around you are taken up by single family homes, most classic local style houses. On your makai side is Hale Nani, a nursing home facility, so all around you is a true community. One that's quieter and with much less traffic than you'll find on the other side of H1.
Your home in the Rose Terrace is 1BR/1BA, covering 563 sq ft of interior. What you'll really love is the lanai that brings 134 sq ft of outside enjoyment.
From your residence you can take in views of the Koolau's green mountainsides, the lights of Honolulu and the ocean crowning the vista makai. Sunrise and Sunset views are a part of the days here for some units, adding something special to their lives.
You can easily get to Safeway or Times Supermarket in a few minutes, along with Long's and Walgreen's, and H1 is a little over 3 blocks away so you can get on the highway in the best way, quickly. Downtown isn't far either, so you can commute in minutes and leave the stress behind.
When work is over, come back to some great neighbors and a soothing view from your large lanai. That's always worth coming home for.
1510 Liholiho, 1650 Piikoi, Camelot, Piikoi Tower and Town House.
Alternatively, search all Makiki condos or expand to all Honolulu condos.


We've been praying for more opportunities to feed and clothe the poor and to touch the broken with God's presence, power and love. Today the Lord opened a way for us!
