1) It doesn't work if you only do the outlines of letters, you don't see anything afterwards.
2) Put the kids on a table! Nobody can jump off and run away.
3) Put them somewhere where they're not 'supposed' to be. That little bit of cheekiness wins you a few minutes photography!
4) Bribe them from the start! Last time I waited until they were already fussing before I bribed them …Too late! Tell them from the beginning, and yes, you're still going to need to mention that every few minutes. In our case there was chocolate on offer for everyone who cooperated.
5) Fix the youngest last.
6) As this particular photo shoot was all about their feet, there was a great opportunity to adjusted the depth of field so it didn't even matter if there weren't smiling happy faces all the time.
This 'Love You Photography' makes such a cute, easy DIY card or gift for any occasion, or expression of love. Of course now it's Valentine's Day, so I had to get it sorted. And Mr M has been banned from my blog, Facebook, instagram and twitter feed for the whole week so I could post in peace!
They were so funny perched up there. So cute with each other, feet hanging off the edge of the table. Miss 7 kept pulling Mr 1's toes up, until he refused point blank for his feet to be touched.
There was swinging and singing, and then there was 'fed up'. Moments when I reminded them about the chocolate and everything was ok for another few minutes. Then of course the moment Mr 1 discovered that there was actually something on the soles of his feet …Bless! You have to wonder what goes through their minds sometimes. 'What on earth is this nutty adult doing now?' has to be a reoccurring theme.
So we ended up with paint smudged all over Mr 1's feet, and the table. But like any mother I had my trusted wet wipes to hand, so not a problem.
Feet clean, table saved, photos taken, faces covered in chocolate.
…And erm, that was the end of the wet wipes!
Do you have any Love You Photography plans? I'd love to hear them.
Looking for another little present to make? Miss 7 has been busy making gorgeous Toilet Roll Washi Tape Hearts.
…Letters and cards to friends and loved ones. Letters and photography. Letters with thoughts and words you long to express. Letters and love. Letters on your feet!
This looks so adorable, and I'm sure it wasn't easy to choreograph!
These look brilliant! What a clever idea for a card. I bet it tickled their feet!
Wow, I'm impressed with your co-ordination skills!! I struggle to take an organised shot with just one little one!!
Great tips, I shall bare them in mind next time I try and take a shot with more than one child (I'm thinking family gatherings, notoriously hard to get one with all kids looking in one direction never mind smiling!) and the love you thing is so cute!!
Ha, this is brilliant! You even got some bokeh in some of those pics with that sparkly top on the right. Nice! My two would be TERRIBLE at this, but they're 3 years 3 months and 20 months, so probably a little young. In fact, my 3-year old is so impatient to see the photo that he comes over to look into the view-finder before the photo (of him) has even been taken!
That is a super photo, so imaginative and inventive.
Brilliant shots, hun, and great tips. Bribery definitely needed for group shots!
Great fun! What a fab idea! Need more feet in our family for us to do it!!
I love this capture! And the measures it took to get just the perfect shot makes it all the more wonderful! And I agree: wipes are the way to go and is a heaven sent in the most unfortunate situations! Thank you for sharing. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
You too – have a wonderful week!
Love this idea, and I think the photos turned out brilliantly. Could be an amusing gif with wiggling feet.
I love it, so cute =) and well done you for getting them all to cooperate, I learnt last week how hard it is to get more than one child in a photo!
What a fantastic idea! Love the last but one pic especially, so very very cute!
Just brilliant! Hope the evidence wasn't all over the carpet too!
Smart mama strikes again …They couldn't even get down, so nobody left the table before the paint was off! …I got a little nervous it might not come of my painted table though!!
Thank you Sophie …Yes, it really was.
Adorable, though I think I may have missed my opportunity , now that I have a 15 year old with very smelly size 44 feet…not the same level of cuteness!!!
In Sweden you make little booklets for weddings… Saying things about the bride & groom; funny stories, photos …Some ice breakers. At a wedding we went to a few years ago, the brothers of the bride – who'd been responsible for sorting out the booklet started it off with a naked bum pic of the two of them laying on sheepskins – posing in the way new born babies are often 'positioned' for their first photo shoot!!
– though your son might be more up for having his feet painted.
This is adorable! What a fab idea. Great tips too.
Love this idea! Shame my photography skills are not up to it yet plus my subject would still jump off the table!!!!
I thought that too! And then I thought 'LUV U' would work.
So very very tempted. Although I am no photographer. Love the tips. Very practical.
& you definitely don't need to be a photographer... Get their feet out, paint them, push them together, give them the chocolate and you don't even need to mind about their faces!!

Q: Is Java GC run when I'm out of memory? I'm developing an Android-based 3D game in Java (not using the NDK).
One of the must-haves for any game is a resource cache, in which I can store loaded textures, meshes, sounds, etc.
My plan is to develop a resource cache that hands out weak references to certain resources, so that only the cache itself keeps a strong reference to the resource, meaning that if I remove a resource from my cache, it will be garbage collected without me having to worry about it.
I'm having a hard time finding an answer to the following question though:
Say I have filled my resource cache to the point where my heap space is almost completely full. I now want to load an additional resource, but its memory footprint is so large that it won't fit in my available heap space.
To accommodate for the new object's size, I remove some entries from my cache and I load in the new object. Will this possibly cause an OutOfMemory exception?
As long as the garbage collector hasn't sweeped through my recently removed objects, the memory stays in use, so is the garbage collector smart enough to run a new sweep in order to accommodate the newly allocated object?

A: The JVM will run a Full GC before throwing an OutOfMemoryError (it doesn't want to throw OOME, so it'll attempt everything possible). It's just that considerate.

A: GC is not guaranteed to run, although it usually does. I know I've seen OOME without GC and GC could have made a difference but it's rare. Usually if you've dereferenced objects and they are eligible for GC, then when you need memory allocated for new objects the JVM will do its job great and you will be fine. Properly dereferencing objects is usually the problem if you get an OOME and you think enough memory should be available.
See this post:
Is the garbage collector guaranteed to run before Out of Memory Error?
Also you can request GC, but that also does not guarantee that it will be run, and it may not be a good idea. See this post:
Garbage collector in Android

A: The [Java Machine specification states(#6.3)] states this:
OutOfMemoryError: The Java Virtual Machine implementation has run out of either virtual
or physical memory, and the **automatic storage manager was unable to reclaim enough memory**
to satisfy an object creation request.

So JVM does guarantee that it will try what it can to free up memory through GC before it throws an OutOfMemoryError.

A: To accommodate for the new object's size, I remove some entries from my cache and I load in the new object. Will this possibly cause an OutOfMemory exception? As long as the garbage collector hasn't sweeped through my recently removed objects, the memory stays in use, so is the garbage collector smart enough to run a new sweep in order to accommodate the newly allocated object?
By remove I understand you set them to null to make them eligible for GC. Although you have set them to null, the GC might decide not to do a memory sweep at all. Now you could explicitly call System.gc but then again the GC will be running in a separate low-priority  thread. And collection of Objects will not be immediate. Now, once you try to load the large resource, the GC finds out that the memory is less, it starts its task to free as much memory as possible. But it will still throw OutOfMemory because you don't have memory when trying to load your resource.

A: I just found out the answer to my own question in accordance with what Kayaman said earlier:

The Java Virtual Machine implementation has run out of either virtual or physical memory, and the automatic storage manager was unable to reclaim enough memory to satisfy an object creation request.

The primary lens I use for shooting miniatures is the Sigma - 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye. Of all the fisheye lenses on the market, it's the only one I know of with such a short focal length (which is essential to my technique for photographing the miniatures)! The Nikkor 10.5mm has a very short focal length as well, but it's a DX lens and doesn't perform well on my FX camera body.
I should mention that I was using the 10.5mm when I had the Nikon D7000 and Nikon D2x camera bodies. I really loved that lens! But the Sigma is doing a fantastic job paired with my Nikon DF.
One negative: The lens hood keeps falling off! It's lined with felt to create some friction and from what I gather, it's purpose is to keep the cap secure. It works 20% of the time ;\ I ended up lining the inside edge of the lens cap with a bit of gaffer tape to keep it from sliding off.

Holus Tabletop Display Shows 2D Content With Hologram-Like Effects
Like flying cars and hoverboards, tabletop holographic displays are among the many things science fiction promised that we still don't have to this day. And while I really want the Holus to be that hologram machine, I'm pretty sure it isn't. That doesn't mean this doesn't look like a fun toy, though.
Created by H+ Technology, it's a display box that turns 2D content from phones, tablets, and computers into 3D holograms that can be viewed from four different angles around it. That way, you can play an actual concert footage of Tupac and make it look like a hologram of Tupac, allowing you to recreate Coachella 2012 right from the comfort of your living room coffee table.
The catch? Holus doesn't really produce the holograms science fiction promised (just like the Tupac hologram wasn't). Instead, it appears to use the same old mirror trick that reflected four 2D images on a four-sided glass pyramid to create an image that looks like it's floating in space, but doesn't actually bear any real depth. Basically, it's a digital display that creates a "holographic effect," rather than an actual hologram – the kind that looks like it's 3D but when you move to another angle, you still see the exact same thing. Not that a fake holographic display box isn't awesome all on its own.
Since any content from a phone, tablet, or computer can be viewed on the machine, you can use it to give everything you'll watch on a regular screen a holographic effect. From games to video calls to… umm… Excel spreadsheets, you can enjoy them all with a floating, 3D-like appearance. It even comes with support for the Leap Motion Sensor and the Emotiv EEG headset, along with an SDK for tweaking it to work with your own projects.
A Kickstarter campaign is currently running for Holus. Pledges to reserve a unit starts at a pricey $850.

This is a really crazy piece of technology! I've seen a few products like this before. For example, some projector-technology for my Droid. I really love the ideas of holograms, and have seen them used in futuristic movies and it's always so neat. I find it hard to believe that anyone will be able to tell the difference anyway between this and 3 or 4D versus an actual hologram that has depth to it. That would imply that someone's attempting to touch it, and I don't want anyone touching or playing with my the tech toys anyway. The price on this one is a fine example of why I feel that way lol. I'd love to watch a TV show on one of these, but would want one that's much bigger. Do you think this will be the next television technology?
June 12, 2015 Makky Reply
this is really neat, but I don't foresee it being practical for watching movies and TV shows yet. It just isn't big enough yet! pretty crazy that it can make phone-calls and such. does it link with both apple and droid devices? although it's pricey, i can see it serving a lot of purposes, including educational both in a school environment and at home. when i was looking up other technology like this for a wallpaper or computer wallpaper on the wall, it also used similar 2d and 3d technology that was based around mirrors. i think practically speaking, it's unrealistic to be able to sell such holographic-only technology consumers because the lasers and technology involved would be way too pricey for the everyday individuals or techy. has anyone tried one of these things yet before, or something like it?

Time is running out to register for the 15th AAGL International Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery! The "Surgical Renaissance in Minimally Invasive Gynecology Worldwide Congress" is just around the corner on May 8 through May 11, 2019, in Florence, Italy.
Leading the many unique learning opportunities will be a keynote dissection honoring the Evolution of Surgical Anatomy broadcast from the very same anatomical theatre said to have been used by the great Leonardo Da Vinci to dissect human bodies in the 15th century. Attendees can look forward to live surgeries, keynote lectures, satellite symposia, and many opportunities for open communication. There are also plenty of robust, pre-Congress Post Graduate courses to look forward to in Siena, Pisa, and Florence on May 7 and 8!
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital Foundation's mission to restore the DaVinci Anatomical Laboratory—the historical theater where DaVinci himself conducted the first anatomical dissection in the 15th century and where Dr. Ceccaroni will be performing a "Live" Cadaveric Dissection Thursday morning. A special thank you to all the physicians listed for donating their time and expertise to these observerships. Note: Travel and accommodation is the responsibility of the winner.

Q: Something like Query on a collection I have a list of objects which have properties and those are translated as columns in my project. These properties are compound name, batch number and storage. I have a dropdown which allows the user to select any value between 1 to 5. The purpose of this dropdown is that it should give you (in case you selected 2) - 2 compounds per batch and per usage type.
I have been looking at Guava library but it doesnt seem to fit in. Anyone has any ideas how to do this. This needs to be done within the code itself so yeah, database is out of question.

A: If you want to query collections in Java you can take a look at multiple alternative:

*

*Quaere

Quaere is an open source, extensible framework that adds a querying syntax reminiscent of SQL to Java applications. Quaere allows you to filter, enumerate and create projections over a number of collections and other queryable resources using a common, expressive syntax.

*JXPath

The org.apache.commons.jxpath package defines a simple interpreter of an expression language called XPath. JXPath applies XPath expressions to graphs of objects of all kinds: JavaBeans, Maps, Servlet contexts, DOM etc, including mixtures thereof.

Google Guava could certainly do what you want, there is also Op4J, Apache Common Collections with Filters/predicates but you will have to write your custom filters/methods.

Inappropriate behaviour is not the only indication of being an alcoholic. The existence of unnecessary odor, better known as alcoholism body odor is among the solid proofs that a person is an alcoholic. In fact, these people produce noticeable odor in their body for a variety of reasons.
This strong odor can be acquired through excessive consumption of alcohol. The smell of alcohol on the breath arises directly from the stomach. If someone burps with a stomach full of alcohol, it can produce strong foul smell. Typically, liquors can trigger bad breath and strong body odor.
The smell of alcohol is quite embarrassing to talk with other people. Therefore, it is a must to take several actions in reducing the embarrassment that a person may encounter.
1. Food-a person may eat food that has nicer aroma. This is effective to overcome the smell of alcohol substance. Specifically, foods with onion and garlic or spicy foods are essential.
2. Chewing gums-one of the common ways to hide strong smell of alcohol is to chew mint and gums. It can temporarily hide the unnecessary breath.
3. Proper dental hygiene-usually, damaged tooth can produce smell of alcohol that a person usually drinks. Therefore, it can avoid the threat of alcohol breath by having regular dental check-up. Regular brushing of teeth is also a must.
4. Mouthwash-one of the products intended to have fresher mouth. This is common to eliminate the alcohol odor stocked in the mouth.
1. Inhibit from too much drinking of alcohol.
2. Do not drink with an empty stomach.
3. Avoid from musky liquors.
4. Do not mix different drinks-the combination of different drinks can produce strong smell.
5. Take a shower-it will be helpful to eliminate alcohol smell by taking regular bath or shower with a medical soap. Medical soaps are best in eliminating the foul smell on the body.
6. Drink a lot of water-if possible a person should drink more than the normal 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Water is one of the most useful cleansing liquids to eliminate alcohol through urine.
7. Exercise-this involves workout every morning. There is a possibility to eliminate toxins inside the body by the process of perspiration.
8. Change clothes after being perspired-one way to avoid the noticeable smell is changing clothes. If the clothes are already sweaty it needs to be replaced. Sweat is a product of dead cell within the body so it is a must to change the clothes before it produces strong smell.
9. Wear body fragrance-it can help the alcoholic person to avoid emission of alcohol odor. The odor of the alcohol substance can be overpowered by the perfume.


A few days ago, the sentence was passed on Kong Hee and co. Kong Hee himself received 8 years. A few days later, he told his congregation that he hopes that there will be a closure to the church members on this issue.
It was perhaps more interesting to read the comments on social media regarding the case than just reading the newspaper report. The newspapers will claim to be neutral, mothership.sg will claim to be speaking out for the people. But as I read the comments, I can't help but feel a bit sad on the whole incident. I wonder what God has to say regarding this.
So the City Harvest Church saga is coming to an end. And all the six, including Kong Hee, are being judged to be guilty. For more information, you may read from here.
I have some thoughts regarding this whole entire episode.

Supreme Court Ruling Highlights Importance of Family Law Attorneys
A U.S. Supreme Court ruling highlighted the importance of men choosing a family law attorney who will be resolute on all issues in pursuing and concluding a divorce.
In Hillman v. Maretta, the husband (Warren Hillman) failed to change his life insurance beneficiary after his divorce. Upon his death years later, his ex-wife (Judy Maretta), who was still listed as the named beneficiary from their marriage, ended up receiving the proceeds instead of his widow (Jacqueline Hillman) receiving the benefit.
Mrs. Hillman's claim was denied because she was not the named beneficiary on her husband's policy. Mrs. Hillman sued Ms. Maretta for the full amount of death benefits under the policy.
The failure of the husband to seek a qualified men's divorce attorney to not only obtain the divorce but to also implement the divorce judgment resulted in this unintended consequence.
While the Hillman v. Maretta ruling focuses on the provisions applicable to a federal government employee life insurance program, many states and some private employers have similar provisions in their employee benefits in order to put the burden on the employee to keep their choices up to date and to keep the employer out of disputes as to who receives life insurance benefits.
Cordell & Cordell divorce attorneys routinely advise clients of the need to make such beneficiary changes upon the divorce, in addition to counseling as to other divorce implementation issues, and offer clients assistance in doing so should the client so desire.
The importance of having a qualified, licensed family attorney cannot be emphasized enough. The procedures in family court may seem simple and children-oriented, but they are complicated. The mistakes made from self-representation can have lasting, non-modifiable consequences. Contact us today to ensure you and your family are protected.

Irish businessman wins appeal in key divorce judgment
The problem that many American men face with divorce is that they feel too many of their hard-earned assets go to their wives following the split. A recent case in Ireland showed that this is not a problem that is confined to the U.S.
According to the Independent, a wealthy businessman in Ireland won a Supreme Court appeal that stopped him from having to pay more money to his ex-wife.
The news source reported that this ruling would have an impact on divorce in the country, as men who felt that they were unjustly forced to pay an unfairly large sum to their ex-wife may head back to court.
"Irish law does not establish a right to a clean break," said the Supreme Court. "However, it is a legitimate aspiration."
The ruling came as the businessman was forced to buy his ex-wife a second home on top of the €1 million house that she was living in, according to the Independent.
The Irish Times reported that the court ruled against the ex-wife in part due to the fact that she showed no attempt to invest any of the money in any type of "wealth-producing activity."

Michigan Supreme Court targets child support flaws
The Michigan Supreme Court will work to examine potential flaws in the state's child support system following three cases that were presented to the legislative body on Oct. 6, The Detroit News reported.
Several Michigan parents argued they were unfairly sentenced because the courts will not allow evidence showing that it was impossible for them to pay child support, according to the news source.
The cases were targeted at the difficult standards that are in place for parents that have their child support payments modified, as the lawyers noted that these were next-to-impossible to reach under the current law.
"You have to be in a coma or kidnapped by Afghani terrorists," John Bursch, solicitor general for Michigan, told the news source after defending a client against the high standard of proof. "(Defendants) have an extremely high burden of proof."
While this case was specifically centered around a woman who was charged with exorbitant fees despite her financial situation reported mental instability, a majority of these incidents feature men. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that men are granted custody in only 17.4 percent of cases and thus pay the vast majority of child support.

Spousal support award reversed in Tennessee Supreme Court
When Craig Gonsewski went through a divorce from his wife Johanna after 21 years of marriage, he was ordered to pay lifetime alimony to his ex-spouse. However, the Tennessee Supreme Court has absolved him of that duty because his ex-wife holds a stable job with considerable income, the Chattanoogan reports.
After the divorce, spousal support was denied because both parties were college educated with high-paying jobs, according to the news source, but on an appeal to the Court of Appeals, that decision was reversed and Gonsewski was forced to pay $1,250 per month in alimony until his ex-wife's death or remarriage.
Then the state Supreme Court stepped in, unanimously voting to eliminate the lifetime alimony award because of Johanna Gonsewski's stable finances and her significant amount of assets taken during the division of property. The ex-wife argued to the court that she could not maintain her previous standard of living before the divorce, which is a major factor in awarding alimony, but the Supreme Court disagreed.
According to WDEF, the divorce rate in Tennessee is above the national average, at 11.4 percent for men and 11.6 percent for women. The news source reports that spike could be due to the shorter divorce process in the state compared to other areas.

After providing a STEP UP to thousands of students and enduring Cleveland winters for 95 years, the steps of St. Jerome School are being rebuilt to provide the foundation for the next 95 years.
If you have driven past St. Jerome School lately, you will have noticed that the front steps to the school are being replaced. 95 years of Cleveland winters have taken their toll. It is a big project but the safety of the children comes first and as the stairs were disassembled we discovered that there was structural deterioration to the support beams for the landing that had not been visible. Repairs are well under way and we hope to have the steps completed for the first day of school.
So many graduating classes, First Communicants, and reunion attendees have stood on those steps to have their picture taken over the years that the steps really are a big part of people's memories of St. Jerome School. Please go to www.stjeromecleveland.org for more pictures, information and to learn how you can help insure a firm footing for future generations.


The Ireland Wolves team was created in 2017 to bridge the gap between domestic first class and international cricket. The squad recently completed an eight-match series against Bangladesh A in Ireland, which followed on from a tour to Bangladesh made by the Wolves in 2017.
The Sri Lankan tour squad will play both red-ball and white-ball matches against Sri Lanka A, and will involve a rotation of a number of players in and out of the squad with the changeover between the two formats.
Harry Tector, the 18-year old top order batsman and off-spinner who is currently playing club cricket in Sydney, was named captain of the Wolves squad.
"It's a massive honour to captain the Wolves. I got a taste of it against Scotland A and Bangladesh A this summer and loved it. I learned a lot from Andrew Balbirnie and I feel ready now to take over the reins following a successful series against Bangladesh A," said Tector.
Selectors had originally named Nathan Smith in the red-ball section of the tour squad, however he will not be available due to personal reasons. Coming in to replace Smith will be Josh Little, subject to passing a fitness test.

Q: Java Formatting String to Remove "0" in front of the variable Basically I am having some problem when trying to format the string I retrieved from database. Here is my nested for loop:
for (int count = 0; count < monthStr.length; count++) {
        for (int i = 0; i < trans_list.size(); i++) {
            if (count == Integer.parseInt(trans_list.get(i).getDate())) {
                expensesSeries.add(x[count], trans_list.get(i)
                        .getAmount());
            }
            else{
                expensesSeries.add(x[count], 0);
            }
        }
    }

Basically the getDate() will return string in these format: 01,02,03,04 and so on until 12. What I am trying to do is comparing the count which is 1-12, with the string I retrieved. Is there any way to remove the 0 in front of 01,02 from the string?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
    boolean setZero = true;
    String[] monthStr = { "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul",
            "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" };

    // Creating an XYSeries for Expenses
    XYSeries expensesSeries = new XYSeries("Expenses");
    for (int count = 1; count < 13; count++) {
        for (int i = 0; i < trans_list.size(); i++) {
            if (count == Integer.parseInt(trans_list.get(i).getDate())) {
                setZero = false;
                expensesSeries.add(count, trans_list.get(i)
                        .getAmount());
            }
            if(setZero)
            {
                expensesSeries.add(count, 0);
                setZero = true;
            }
        }
    }

    for (int j = 0; j < monthStr.length; j++) {
        multiRenderer.addXTextLabel(j+1, monthStr[j]);
    }
}

A: Java Formatting String to Remove "0" in front of the variable
ParseInt should be able to get an int from a String starting with 0 (as long as it precedes an int value) but if you need it for some other purpose not shown in this code just do a regular expression replaceAll() with the start character ^
string.replaceAll("^0","");

and for multiple 0s, use * as well
string.replaceAll("^0*","");

Specific Problem mentioned here
Why the nested loop?  It looks like you want the contents of trans_list to be added as points via expensesSeries, with zero in places where there is no data. Just keep track of totals with an array:-
 int[] monthlyTotals = new int[12];
 for (int i=0; i<trans_list.size(); i++)
 {
   //Add item at index i trans_list at location i in chart
   int chartXIndex =  Integer.parseInt(trans_list.get(i).getdate());
   monthlyTotals[chartXIndex] += trans_list.get(i).getAmount();
 }

You now have an array that represents what you want on the chart so just loop to add them to the chart
for (int i=0; i<monthlyTotals.length; i++)
{
   expensesSeries.add(i, monthlyTotals[i]);
   multiRenderer.addXTextLabel(i+1, monthStr[i]); //combine your last loop as well
}

Nested looping can be confusing, avoid if possible.

A: Integer.parseInt(...) should do the trick. It looks like that it is already in your code, so I believe it works and maybe something else is causing the problem.
What is your problem here? Do you have an exception? Strange results?
I suggest you should change line
expensesSeries.add(x[count], trans_list.get(i).getAmount());

to
expensesSeries.add(Integer.parseInt(trans_list.get(i).getDate()) - 1, trans_list.get(i).getAmount());

(or better assign Integer.parseInt(trans_list.get(i).getDate()) to variable and reuse it in if(...) and add(...)
Not sure if it will help, but x seems pointless and may cause some confusion.
UPDATE
I think, that introducing boolean variable is not necessary. Right now your code won't work properly. Imagine situation, where you do not have data with, lets say April (4). Then first if won't be processed, but second one also, so you won't have data (even with value 0) added to expendesSeries, and it will cause problem you are facing (no values for some of the months). Here I think is what you should do (edited your current code):
    String[] monthStr = { "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul",
            "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" };

    // Creating an XYSeries for Expenses
    XYSeries expensesSeries = new XYSeries("Expenses");
    for (int count = 1; count < 13; count++) {
        for (int i = 0; i < trans_list.size(); i++) {
            if (count == Integer.parseInt(trans_list.get(i).getDate())) {
                expensesSeries.add(count, trans_list.get(i)
                        .getAmount());
            } else {
                expensesSeries.add(count, 0);
            }
        }
    }

    for (int j = 0; j < monthStr.length; j++) {
        multiRenderer.addXTextLabel(j+1, monthStr[j]);
    }

Now it will fetch all months, then for every month it will fetch all transactions, and add 0 or some specific value to expensesSeries for each month. If that won't work I suggest using @RossDrew solution (it is simplified, more optimal and straightforward).

These Halloween-Cake ideas are perfect if you don't mind spending a wee bit of money and really want to go all out. You can buy a Nordic cake pan and some decorations which can really help you create some wonderful looking Halloween-cakes. Have you ever thought about making a Haunted House cake?
It's the perfect base for a Haunted House or Castle and could be used for birthday parties throughout the year and is suitable for making castles for both boys and girls!
You could even make a Christmas Snow Castle which would make a nice change from the traditional Gingerbread House. Customers who have purchased this Bundt pan say that the castle looks wonderful when baked and highly recommend it. The cake pan is made from a heavyweight cast aluminum which provides balanced cooking and produces moist cakes.
The interior of the pan is non stick and the outside has a heat reflector which allows for even browning. The superior quality of this cake pan allows for all the details to be transformed into the cake itself. All you have to do is to start decorating.
Other similar cake pans that can do double duty for a Halloween-cake include the Nordic Ware Pro Cast Pirate Ship Cake Pan and the Nordic Ware Fairytale Cottage.
Plus you just have to take a peek at the Nordic Ware Backyard Bugs Pan! This would be another cake pan that you could use many times throughout the year. One of the nicest features about this cake bug pan is that you can use it over and over again. For Halloween you can turn the bugs into creepy insects for example.
Then for a birthday you can make the bugs fun and adorable! As one customer noted this is a cake pan that you will want to pass on someday.
It comes with a lifetime warranty and bears the quality that you have come to recognize from Nordic Ware.
I study insects for a living and one of my colleagues made me birthday cupcakes with this cake pan. They were so adorable!
Apparently the pan comes with its own cake mix recipe that works really well with the pan and also tastes delicious!
This is one of the funniest pans I have, the kids love them and they are perfect for individual sized cakes.
EVERYONE love these little bugs that come out from this pan!
The details on the cakes are beautiful!
Another important feature to note about this cake pan is that it is made in the US and not in China, another point which many customers really liked. A similar pan to this is the Nordic Ware Pro Cast Zoo Animal Muffin Pan. This is another cake pan that has received great reviews and produces muffins with lots of detail.
Also look for small sugar decorations in various Halloween shapes such as ghosts, witches and pumpkins. This can easily be placed on top of cupcakes or muffins to add a quick Halloween touch.
If you don't want to buy a new cake pan you can still make a great Halloween cake by using cake toppers.
For example you can purchase a Pirates of the Caribbean Cake Topper or a Batman Cake Topper.
It is quite easy to match the cake topper to your child's costume in most cases.
The average price for a cake pan is going to be around $20 so you really want to look for a cake pan that can you can use for more than just Halloween. Try to choose one that you can use at Christmas time, for parties and special occasions and of course your kid's birthday's.
Buying a quality pan such as the Nordic Ware ones will save you money in the long run. These pans are made to last and by following the 'care' instructions they will last a life time.
Preheat your cake pan while preheating your oven, and then spray it once it is hot.
Only fill the cake cavity 2/3 full.
Use a 375 F oven with a shorter baking time to see as much detail as possible.
Cool cakes in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out.
To clean your pan rinse while the pan is hot and set it inside the cooling oven to dry.
Where to Buy Halloween-Cake Pans?
The best place to buy these Halloween-cake pans is over at Amazon. As well as currently having the best prices they seem to have the best selection available.

Peter Gallagher and Kristin Chenoweth, the stars of On the Twentieth Century, photographed in New York City.
Anyone who bases a musical on a classic film should obey the maxim "First, do no harm." Because for every A Little Night Music (hat tip to Smiles of a Summer Night) there is a Breakfast at Tiffany's (closed in 1966 after four previews). So, when Cy Coleman, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green turned one of the zaniest screwball comedies of all time, Twentieth Century, into a musical in 1978, who could be blamed for thinking derailment was imminent? Credit to those three, who realized tampering with the 1934 classic, starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard, could result in charges being brought before the court of Turner Classic Movies.
Coleman and company turned out a comic operetta. On the Twentieth Century is also the ideal vehicle to pair Peter Gallagher and Kristin Chenoweth, and its revival, directed by Scott Ellis, opens this month at New York's Roundabout Theatre Company. Chenoweth, who created the role of Glinda in Wicked, knew both Comden and Green and sang at Green's memorial. (He died in 2002.) Gallagher was friends with them as well, even after starring in one of their rare flops, a 1982 musical adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House. (See advice above.) Gallagher went on to prosper in film, TV, and theater, but those who saw him play Sky Masterson in the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls know that if anyone can keep up with Chenoweth he can. Dare we say it? Why not! All ABOAAARD!

TEHRAN, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry on Monday said that the Islamic republic insists on the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq.
Iran does not accept any move which undermines the stability KJ McDaniels Jersey , security and integrity of Iraq, Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Bahram Qasemi, said at his weekly press conference.
Qasemi made the remarks with reference to the independence referendum underway in Iraq's northern Kurdistan region.
The decision by the Kurdish authorities to hold the vote might have unprecedented consequences for both the regional people and the Kurds themselves, he added.
Iran has constantly been in contact with the Kurdish officials Jonas Valanciunas Jersey , and has insisted that the Kurdish region should have solved its problems with Baghdad central government through political dialog, the spokesman said.
Iran believes that the unilateral move by Iraq's Kurdistan is taking place in an improper time without the necessary prudence, he said, stressing that the move undermines the central government's achievements in the fight against terrorism.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday discussed the Iraqi Kurdistan independence referendum on the phone, and both sides emphasized their coordinated opposing stance over the referendum.
The integrity of Iraq is highly important for Iran Jay Ajayi Jersey , Rouhani said, adding that the security of his country and the region is, to a significant degree, depends on this factor.
This is a clear message for those who are going to disturb the security and stability of the region, Rouhani pointed out.
In another telephone conversation with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Sunday Jakob Poeltl Jersey , Rouhani said that Iran was against any move that would undermine Iraq's territorial integrity and national unity.
As kids, we wanted please and to mind our dad. As God's children, we want to obey Him as well. Similar to our earthly father Fletcher Cox Jersey , our Heavenly Father is pleased with us when we're obedient. A way of obedience to God is through prayer.
God desires us to depend on Him for all our demands. Praying demonstrates our dependence on God. Prayer helps us remember we are able to do nothing of significance without God. We humble ourselves when we pray. James 4:6 tells us, "God opposes the proud but gives grace the meek." Prayer demonstrates God is in control of our life.
God wants to have a connection with ourselves. One of the ways to produce and develop an intimate relationship is through prayer. The more we pray the more we learn about God and the more He shows Himself to us. We learn how He desires us to think and act and how He believes. It's important for people to make time to develop that relationship. The more time we spend praying the more of God's grace and calmness weaves itself into the fabric of our life.
God knows what's on our hearts but Himself desires us to tell Him. Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians "...to present our requests to God." The benefit is, "The peace of God will guard our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus." We are telling God when we are intimate with Him we trust Him. God wants to seek His guidance and just as important listen for His response. As we follow God's instructions and develop sensitive to Him's voice, we'll see God working through situations and individuals in our life.
John 5:30 tells ourselves that Jesus prayed to remain will. He was bowed completely to God, and dependent DeMar DeRozan Jersey , obedient. One John 5:14, 15 reminds us to pray according to God's will. God is more likely answer our prayers and to listen to our requests when we pray aligning our will with God's will.
Sometimes ourselves cease praying. Sometimes, our prayers may become half-hearted if God doesn't answer them promptly. Matthew 7: 7, 8 tells ourselves to ask, seek Delon Wright Jersey , and knock. What Matthew is saying is ourselves should be diligent and consistent in our prayers. Remaining steadfast in our prayers, expresses to God that we trust and believe in Him. Having an attitude of prayer builds that intimate relationship God desires with us.

Alexander Djiku says Ghana are not 'bitter' about controversy vs Uruguay in 2010 but remains wary of Luis Suarez

As the Ghana players arrived for their crucial group game against South Korea in Al Rayyan the corridors of the Education Stadium were filled with the sound of West Africa.
'Jama time' is a musical celebration of culture, a nod towards good morale, team spirit and togetherness.
The players shuffled to the changing room while banging bougarabou drums and shaking a percussion instrument known as a shekere.

"We are not bitter, especially as almost the entire team is different from that of 2010. We hear a lot about it in the media but South Africa is the past."
Will he be able to talk about 2010 with Suarez during the game?
"No, if I start talking to Suarez he will take the opportunity to mess with my mind and go behind me to score!" he jokes.
Uruguay's Luis Suarez hits back at a reporter who asked him if he ever considered apologising for his infamous handball in the 2010 FIFA World Cup quarter-final against Ghana.
"I was a teenager when I saw that game. It was difficult and I remember my father being very disappointed as we all were.
"I couldn't imagine myself 12 years later wearing the Black Stars jersey and playing Uruguay. We have the opportunity to change the destiny and make our supporters proud.
"They are a team with a lot of grit, experience and talent. Mentally they are also strong so we must not fall into that trap."
Djiku instead prefers to focus on his own game. He has already faced up to Cristiano Ronaldo in this World Cup and is no stranger to battles with Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi in domestic football.
"Ronaldo is not just any player but when I play I don't care who I have in front of me.
"He is still in shape, believe me. He is so intelligent with his movements and his desire to change the course of a match."
He had similar praise for Ghana's own superstar, albeit Mohammed Kudus is in the early stages of his career.

Against South Korea Kudus became the first Ghanaian to score a brace in a World Cup game and is the subject of an impressive mural on the streets of Nima, the suburb of Accra where he grew up.
"He's the little nugget that everyone is talking about. He's a very good player, a very good boy with a good mentality.
"I think he can go far. He still has room for improvement and what he has shown in these few months is simply talent. I think he can become a big player."

Qatar a tournament too many for ageing stars
There were similar plaudits for Brighton's young full-back Tariq Lamptey. "Tariq is an important part of the team. He brought us his qualities with his speed and his precision.
"He is very well integrated in the group and a young man with a lot of respect."
Djiku's performances have led to speculation that Leeds United are among the clubs hoping to sign him when his contract expires in June.
"Yes, I have heard a few things. My contractual situation may also be a factor I think.
"I hope that this shows that I am doing a good job on the sporting level but also with my nutrition, recovery and lifestyle.
"It is gratifying but for the moment I'm keeping a cool head. I want to concentrate on the last group game of the World Cup, and the rest of the season with Strasbourg because there are important games."
Djiku described his delight at qualifying for the World Cup in an interview with Sky Sports News last season. So, what is he doing to take his mind to relax away from training now that the tournament is well under way?
"We have a great atmosphere in the group so we are never bored. We play, we sing, we dance."
They are hoping togetherness and talent will ensure the last dance is not Friday afternoon.
This is Ghana's chance for revenge

Sky Sports' Ben Grounds:
Mark the date: December 2 at 3pm.
This is a shootout for the last 16, a decider laced in a dozen years of narrative and ill-feeling.
When Ghana face Uruguay at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, the Black Stars will be aiming for revenge.
Former captain Stephen Appiah recently said in an interview with Al Jazeera: "I get goosebumps when I hear about the 2010 World Cup. It will haunt me for the rest of my life."
Ghana are back on the global stage in Qatar and rather deliciously, Suarez is still in the Uruguay squad.
It is a chance for a nation to rid themselves of a nightmare that has gripped than for 12 long years.
Speaking before the tournament about the rematch with Suarez, Ghana coach Otto Addo said: "I'm sure that'll be in the back of the minds of some players because it was a decisive game, not just for Ghana but for Africa as a whole."
What do Ghana and Uruguay need to qualify?
Portugal have already secured their progression with two wins from two but still need a point to be declared group winners.
Ghana are the only remaining rival for top spot, but the Africans could still finish behind both South Korea and Uruguay.
For those two teams, the equation is simple: Win or go home. But even winning may not be enough: A win for both Uruguay and South Korea would leave them level on four points and separated only on goal difference, while a win for South Korea would be academic if Ghana beat Uruguay and a point for Ghana coupled with a win for Korea would also make goal difference - and possibly goals scored - the ultimate adjudicator.

AT&T announced last Thursday a new service called AT&T Locker that will allow AT&T iPhone and Android smartphone customers to store 5GB worth of videos and photos for free in AT&T's "cloud."
The service is available through a free app in the Apple App Store or the Google Play store. And it allows users to store roughly 5,000 average sized photos in the cloud. The app requires subscribers use either an iPhone 3GS or newer device. And Android users must be on version 2.1 or higher of the Android OS. Customers who don't have devices that meet those requirements can still store photos and video in the Locker, but they must connect via a computer to sideload the video or pictures to the cloud storage.

INTERVIEW: All sorts of emotions
Amy Nixon
Davie Irons on the Shrewsbury game
We spoke to assistant manager Davie Irons before the Sunday training session to get his reaction to the amazing end of game events at the Greenhous Meadow on Saturday.
"We went through all sorts of emotions," he admitted. "We went from losing, to drawing, to winning ... then back to drawing in about five minutes! We were disappointed in the end but I think it was a good point overall. The team showed real character and bravery to get themselves back into it. We hadn't even thought about winning with four minutes to go so, in the end, we've got to be pleased with a point.
"It keeps the momentum going and we've still only lost one away game all season. The credit has to go to the lads because they're showing hat they're a really tough team to play against away from home."
"You could see that the players were really disappointed afterwards because we thought we'd won it," he commented. "It's a cliché of a saying but you're at your most vulnerable when you've just scored. That showed to be the case on Saturday.
"The players know they've let themselves down in that respect because it was a crucial stage of the game. We should have been able to see it out even though there was still five minutes left. I think we've seen in recent weeks that we're well capable of that."
"It was disappointing that one lapse of concentration cost us a goal," he continued. "The lad did take the goal well, especially at that stage of the game and with so much time to think about it, but we still should have dealt with it better."
"I think people are right in saying that we might have lost that game a month ago," he said. "I think a big part of that is momentum. You can sense that the lads believe they're going to get something out of every game. Rather than thinking about conceding goals, they're concentrating on the things we work on throughout the week.
"We went with three at the back when we were 1-0 down and we asked the lads to get on the ball and pass it. That's what got us back into it. Kav was determined to get something out of the game and in the past we might have stuck with the four at the back. We moved it this time round to give ourselves the best chance of getting a goal.
"We actually went back to four at the back once we'd got the first goal but we still felt we'd get another chance. Sean [O'Hanlon] managed to get his head on a corner and after that we thought we'd won it. Unfortunately it wasn't to be."
"When it got to 80 minutes and we were losing we thought we might as well go for it. The players bought into that and we managed to get the point. The fact that the lads were distraught in the dressing room shows how far we've came in the last few weeks and that is really pleasing.
"We really had to pick the boys up and focus on the positives after the game but I think the good thing is that we've got another game so soon. That allows us to get back out there and hopefully carry on the run that we've started."
"The players have done everything we've asked them to and we'll keep pushing them to improve," he added. "In the short time I've been here I can tell that there's a real determination to do well throughout the club and I think we're starting to take things in the right direction."
And on the Sunday morning training session, he said: "It's something we've talked about since we were put in charge. We think it's important to get the lads in to make sure they're recovering after games.
"I think there's been an improvement in fitness levels and I think it's a physiological thing as well. The lads will have lactic acid in their bodies, which we need to get rid of as quickly as possible, especially because we've got a game on Tuesday night.
"It also gives Dolly a little bit longer to look at any injuries or knocks that the lads might have. Thankfully everybody looks fit and ready to go for Tuesday. I think Sunday's will become very important sessions for us throughout the season. It keeps the lads in the right mindset because it is going to be a long season.
"In many ways we want it to be a long season. We want to be playing on Tuesday nights because that means we're doing well in the cups and things like that."
"I'm still getting to know the lads but what I've seen so far has been fantastic," he said. "They all want to improve and make themselves better players and they've applied themselves really well in every session we've put on.
"None of them have had any grumbles about being in on a Sunday and you can see there is a real desire to succeed. They've all bought into everything and the players are doing it all themselves, with just a little bit of guidance from us."

Monster Mutant offers a good kick of caffeine for a bottle of pop.
Like most college students, the semester is crawling on and energy levels are starting to drop. Of the many ways that students try to stay alert, caffeine is usually high up on the list.
For the students that either despise coffee or just prefer another way to get caffeine, the Herd Shop just started carrying a new product.
Monster Energy has entered into the soft drink wars with Mutant Super Soda. But soft drink doesn't do the drink justice, or at least that is what Monster wants you to think.
Labeled as a "Super Soda," the original drink is essentially just a watered down, carbonated version of Monster.
Now the Herd Shop offers all three versions of the soda: the zero-sugar White Lightning, Red Dawn and the Mutant Original. All three offer the same caffeine content with 115 mg per 20 fl. oz.
To put that into prospective, a regular 16 oz. can of Monster offers 160 mg while a Pepsi of the same size offers a modest 38 mg. However, the seasonal favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks offers a robust 150 mg at the 16 oz. Grande size.
Now, the scheme that Monster takes to sell Mutant is pretty simple: make it as bright as possible. Stacked amongst the brown colors of the multitude of colas, the green, red and white are hard to miss.
Thankfully, the Original actually tastes pretty good and constitutes the purchase.
The Mountain Dew comparisons are easy to draw. Both are lemon-lime flavored, and both seem to target "younger" consumers. The choice between the two might come down to personal preference. It has been too long since I have had a Dew to give a reasonable preference.
To be fair, the first soda that came to mind was Sprite. The Original Mutant has a crisp lemon-lime taste early that nearly tricks the brain into thinking you are drinking Sprite. Mutant is crisp, but not too crisp, especially compared to larger drinks where the flavor seems to dilute.
The main comparison between Mutant and Sprite comes down to the carbonation. The bubbles are quick to rise and quick to pop. Other than the color, the two are very similar when poured into a glass.
Ultimately, combine Mutant with a slice of pizza from Pizza Express for the "tired college kid" lunch special.
Overall, the taste is a good divergence from the regular soft drinks and offers a good changeup from a daily routine.
From a nutritional standpoint, Mutant rings up around regular sodas. With 290 calories and 70 grams of sugar, it compares closely to the 270 calories and 73 grams of sugar in a bottle of Mountain Dew and other pops in the 270-300 calorie range.
But the real question is does Mutant keep you more alert?
The short answer is kind of. But this might be a bit more on me drinking more soda than I probably should.
It did, however, give me enough energy to write this review, and I was more alert than usual for a little bit.
Mutant provides a fair bit of alertness, but for the sleep-deprived college student, a full-blown Monster will be a better option.
You won't be pulling an all-nighter running on a single Mutant, or even two or three for that matter. But for a mid-day jolt, this rises toward the top of the list.
And Mutant is significantly better than a Dad's Root Beer.

What are the roles of the City and County in the growth of affordable housing? Does location matter? "Rural vs. Urban" or "Rural plus Urban?" What can the agencies do to help. Stacy Pethia and Sunshine Mathon addressed this at our Wednesday February 13, 2019 meeting. The program was moderated by SSV board member Peppy Linden. Listen to this interesting podcast after downloading the view-graph presentation.
In December Stacy Pethia became the principal planner for Housing for Albemarle County. Previously she coordinated Housing Programs in the City and managed Charlottesville's Affordable Housing Fund. Stacy has a PhD in Urban Regeneration Policy from the University of Birmingham and a BA in Sociology from the University of Pittsburgh.
Sunshine Mathon became executive director of the Piedmont Housing Alliance in 2017. The mission of Piedmont Housing Alliance is to create affordable housing opportunities and foster community through education, lending, and equitable development. Prior to that Sunshine served as the director of real estate development for Foundation Communities in Austin, Texas. Sunshine has a Master of Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin and a BS in Physics from Bates College.
Stacy Pethia and Sunshine Mahone discussed the current status of affordable housing in our area. Both speakers acknowledged that this is not just a local, but also a national problem affecting both urban and rural areas.
Stacy started her presentation by defining affordable housing — less than 30% of household income including rent, mortgage, utilities and taxes is spent on housing. She stated that greater than 30% of county residents are housing burdened, 50% of those pay more than 50% of household income for housing and of that group 25% are 55 years or older. Barriers to affordable housing are economic including not only income, but also cost of construction and decreased levels of funding. Regulatory barriers including zoning and land use policies prevent building affordable housing as well as social barriers such as discrimination and NIMBY (not in my backyard) attitudes.
Sunshine discussed the needs between urban and rural areas such as costs of transportation and staffing requirements. Tax credits are a large part of building affordable housing for developers. In order to receive these limited federal credits, localities have to have guaranteed local funding. It has been shown that individuals who have unaffordable or unstable housing have poorer health and sense of wellbeing. Regional Housing Partnership is a new group of Charlottesville, Albemarle and UVA members focused on resolving the housing crisis. Sunshine concluded with the statement that there is no perfect solution to this problem. He advised that there should be a decisive and proactive role by communities and smart spending of resources by all parties.

BHS student shines as nationally-ranked archer
December 01, 2016 | Sports
Berthoud High School senior Kira Bollar pictured with her bow at an event. She was the Rocky Mountain State Champion in 2015 and 2016. She currently holds five state records – two of which were the breaking of her own record this past year. She is the number-one ranked archer in Colorado and currently ranked 14th nationally for the United States Archery Team (USAT).

Kira Bollar might look like your traditional high school senior at school, but outside the confines of Berthoud High School she is an extraordinarily talented, nationally-ranked athlete who competes in archery tournaments across the nation. She first picked up the sport after being inspired by her father and brother – both of whom also target shoot.
It didn't take long to discover Bollar was a natural. She was the Rocky Mountain State Champion in 2015 and 2016. She currently holds five state records – two of which were the breaking of her own record this past year. She is the number-one ranked archer in Colorado and currently ranked 14th nationally for the United States Archery Team (USAT). Bollar also earned Bronze Olympian this year in the outdoor season.
For those unfamiliar with the sport of archery, there are several variations: there are both indoor and outdoor competitions. Bollar competes at 18 meters indoors for the Junior Olympic Archery Division (JOAD). Outdoors, she is currently shooting at 60 meters in the 14-17-age "Cadet" division. Next year she will advance to the "Junior" division where Bollar will compete with athletes who have been in the Olympics – an ultimate goal for her as well.
While you don't reach the acclaim and success Bollar has without some natural talent, her work ethic has enabled her to progress just that much further. During the summer, she averages five-six practices a week, while sticking to a more reasonable three-five times during the school year. Her coach – Mike Perrego – meets with her a couple of times per week for private lessons. Then there is her JOAD team she likes to practice with (when time allows) in Denver. She does all this while traveling around the country 18-19 times a year while maintaining a 3.5 or higher GPA.
Bollar recently returned from Chula Vista – home to the Olympic Training Center for archery, funded by the legendary Jim Easton. It was there Bollar earned an alternate spot on the Junior Dream Team (JDT) and was potentially inspired to spend the next year as a "resident athlete" working toward a goal of competing in Tokyo or beyond. Another option is to consider a collegiate program or club where archery is beginning to pick up attention here in the United States.
At nationals Bollar participated in a massive tournament that included over 1,600 shooters – 100 or more in her age group alone. This year she's been to California, Alabama, Ohio and Arizona. The latter of the two stick out as especially positive moments.
"I really enjoyed Arizona," Bollar admitted. "It was my first USAT tournament this year. It was outdoor, and I ranked ninth. It is the best I've ranked so far."
Additionally, Bollar placed seventh at an Ohio tournament (where she shot personal bests in indoor and outdoor) officially placing her on the watch list of up-and-coming archers in the United States.
While the future is not yet clear for Bollar, the assumption is whatever path she selects will be bright. Surrounded by two loving, supportive parents in Chas and Kimberly, the sky is literally the limit for Bollar. She likes art – and while forced to give up track because archery has now become a year-round adventure, she is a young woman with an extremely bright outlook.
However, it is not to say hard work doesn't come without a price – sometimes literally. Bollar is currently seeking sponsors to help fund the equipment, coaching lessons, airfare, lodging, food, and other expenses associated with traveling to and from tournaments.
As father Chas put it, competing at the level Bollar is requires a year-round commitment. "It never stops," he admitted.
Fittingly, Bollar has a busy itinerary scheduled for 2017. She plans to continue and "improve (shooting) form and gradually moving up (the rankings)" with a vital tournament scheduled for New Mexico in April. She'll continue to appear at JDT camps (that average four per year) while practicing relentlessly with anything from her first, classic wood bow (she bought with her own Christmas money) to the "very expensive" one she uses at tournaments.
Bollar – in her own estimation – said Colorado is "growing really well" in terms of appreciation, as well as participation, in archery. She has a boyfriend who also competes nationally in archery and has really appreciated the guidance and lessons taught by Perrego.
"He's always enjoyed teaching," Bollar acknowledged. "He loves to shoot. He really enjoys teaching people."
While another article could be written regarding the difference between indoor/outdoor archery and the scoring – the general rule applies: get it closer to the bullseye (or "X") and you score more points. Do it frequently and you are in the same position as Bollar.
The senior explains indoor/outdoor are "definitely different," though outside the obvious changes in dealing with natural versus controlled elements, there are also technical challenges, such as having more space to shoot at outdoor tournaments, with the addition of scopes. You are also shooting from a significantly farther distance.
Bollar confessed, "I'm really enjoying outdoor right now. I really like them both. Overall my scores were a lot better this year (in general)."
"That wasn't the way it used to be," her dad added with a smile.
Regardless, it doesn't matter. Bollar is but one of another long line of dominant Berthoud athletes chasing national as well as international acclaim in the vein of Tyler Carron and Nikko Landeros.

Engineers design sewer lines to carry wastewater from sources such as toilets and bathtubs to a treatment plant. When water from non-sewage sources, such as rainwater downspouts, enters the sewage system, this overwhelms the capacity of sewage pipes. Infiltration refers to leakage of groundwater into wastewater pipes through cracks. When the combination of inflow and infiltration exceeds the carrying ability of the sewer lines, basements and streets flood.
Outflow, or the leakage of wastewater into the ground, causes contamination of nearby waterways and drinking water. Escaping sewer gases also may contain toxic or explosive fumes. Bacterial infections and viruses spread when people come directly in contact with the wastewater or come into contact with animals carrying germs.
When wastewater plants must manage water that does not require sanitary treatment, the costs to everyone for the sewer system increase. Therefore, it is in the best interest of homeowners to ensure that ordinary groundwater does not enter the sewer lines through improper connections and leaks.
Periodic smoke tests ensure that there are no improper leaks in the sewer system, keeping the environment and humans safe while containing costs. This is a vital component of any sewer maintenance program.

Q: Is it possible or desirable to write an asynchronous/event-driven SQL Server? Disclaimer: this is more of a theory question than a DBMS question — that's why I'm putting it on SO.  I could be totally wrong, and this could be a bad idea.
Lots of research has suggested that tasks (threads & processes both) have undesirable space and time overhead, esp. in I/O bound applications.  Depending on what is asked, many queries can actually become I/O bound – esp. when it's a scan, not an index hit.  I realize that this is complicated by the seemingly-conflicting desire to parallelize a query.  But I don't believe it is actually conflicting.  You'd just want a pool of them — roughly NUM_CPUs.
Is this possible with something as complex as SQL?  Would it be possible with something with fewer complexities than SQL?  One could imagine a pool of threads (~NUM_CPUs) given jobs — an object indicating purpose & state — to find a needle in a block of a haystack.  Each thread in the pool would be given a series of jobs to find stuff.  While any thread is waiting on I/O, it can move on and look for a different needle in a different job it is given.  When all jobs are 'complete, a queued job rolls it up.
... or is this a job for threads — and are we just reinventing kernel threads in userland?  Maybe that's true — as state object complexity -> infinity, you're just reinventing threads.  It's much easier to think about it without events, and I'm pretty sure I have no idea how to write an event-based DB engine let alone a thread-based DB engine.  It sounds hard, but is it possible or even desirable?

A: Your question seems to be: Why use async IO for disk access in the context of an RDBMS?
Async IO is used to not block a thread while an IO operation is running. That allows you to have less threads. This saves stack memory and a small amount of OS resources. It can also increase OS scheduling efficiency.
That said, whether you use async IO or threads to read from disk does not matter for disk throughput. You will max out the IO subsystem either way. The disk does not magically get faster by changing the way you call into the kernel. Async IO only changes the way a call is made, not what that call does.
Async IO is usually used at high degree of concurrency, like in a socket application with 100s or even millions of sockets (you just can't have 1M threads). For disk IO it doesn't help throughput because the degree of parallelism you want to apply to a disk is small.


> What CAN alcohol cost you?
Shaking my head. I know there are incredible pressures to be the greatest, and I get the idea that folks just want to blow off some steam after the completion of the competition. Sure, Rio, is known as a "party" city. But REALLY? Have some self control! All Lochte had to was NOT DRINK at the party. Alcohol (and his consumption of it) was directly responsible for the fiasco that has occurred in Rio.
Instead of the world remembering how great the Olympics were in 2016. They will remember the irresponsible behavior of an American. Sad.
Read the article about just what drinking, vandalism and lying about the whole thing is going to cost this "man".
By the way, I reject the notion that the officials are trying to "downplay" this incident after the fact and saying that "kids will be kids and hopefully this will be a learning experience for them".
Really? This "kid" is 32 years old. He's NOT a kid!
Here is a link to the timeline for those interested.
