Performers include: Demond Wilson, Redd Fox, LaWanda Page, Don Bexley, Whitman Mayo, and Nathaniel Taylor.
Stubborn Fred G. Sanford (Redd Foxx) is a 65-year-old junk dealer in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. After the death of his beloved wife Elizabeth twenty years ago, Fred was left to raise their only son, Lamont (Demond Wilson), by himself. Fred doesn't have many redeeming qualities as he's usually lazy, sarcastic and stubborn — attributes that Elizabeth's Bible-touting sister, Esther Anderson (LaWanda Page), is all too happy to renounce.
Lamont does most of the work for the business and would like to be on his own but loves his father too much to leave him to clean up after his numerous hair-brained, money-making schemes. For help in his schemes, Fred can usually count on his dim-witted friends like Grady Wilson (Whitman Mayo) and Bubba Bexley (Don Bexley). For all of his faults, Fred is somehow able to hold onto his relationship with good-natured nurse Donna Harris (Lynn Hamilton). Other characters include Lamont's shifty best friend, Rollo Larson (Nathaniel Taylor); and two police officers, "Smitty" Smith (Hal Williams) and "Hoppy" Hopkins (Howard Platt).
During the run of the series, Mayo's character was spun-off to his own show entitled Grady. It was cancelled after 12 episodes and he returned to Sanford & Son.
After the cancellation of Sanford & Son (over salary demands from Foxx), NBC tried to continue the series without the two main characters in Sanford Arms. It didn't work and was cancelled after eight episodes.
In 1980, Foxx revived the show on NBC as simply Sanford (Wilson declined to be involved). It lasted two seasons.

Wu and Ren carry Chinese short track medal hopes at Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
By Michael Pavitt at the Main Press Centre in Beijing
Wu Dajing will carry Chinese medal hopes as short track speed skating competition begins tomorrow at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Wu heads into a home Winter Olympics as the defending champion in the men's 500 metres event, with the 27-year-old having delivered China's sole gold medal at Pyeongchang 2018.
He will be joined by team mate Ren Ziwei, who has won four World Cup races during the Olympic season.
"I am feeling strong with the dragon on my chest," Ren said.
"There is a good chance to win a gold medal.
"This is my second Olympics, and I was very nervous at my first one.
"I am more confident now, and our team is ready.
"Short track is a good chance for China to get medals."
China's gold medal success at the Winter Olympics has largely come in short track speed skating, with the sport responsible for 10 of their 13 gold medals at the Games to date.
The men's competitions could prove challenging to predict at the Games, with the World Cup circuit seeing different names at the top of the podium.

South Korea's Hwang Dae-heon has won two 1,000 metres races and one 500m event, while Hungary's Shaolin Sándor Liu has clinched two 500m triumphs and a 1,000m gold.
Overall world champion Shaoang Liu, Shaolin's brother, will also be in medal contention having arrived in Beijing after recovering from COVID-19 in time.
Their compatriot John-Henry Krueger and Russian Olympic Committee skater Semen Elistratov will expect to challenge strongly.
Dutch star Suzanne Schulting will be the star name competing in the women's event, where she will seek to sweep the 500m, 1,000m and 1500m titles.
Schulting is the defending champion in the 1,000m event.
The 24-year-old has been the dominant force in recent years, winning overall gold medals at the 2019 and 2021 World Championships.
Her overall title at last year's World Championships came after she won gold medals in the 500m, 1,000m, 1500m and 3,000m relay competitions.

Three-time world champion Choi Min-jeong and Lee Yu-bin of South Korea will be among the skaters seeking to challenge Schulting.
The duo will hope to lead South Korea to the top of the sport's medals table for the second consecutive Games, following three gold medals at home Games at Pyeongchang 2018.
The success was soured by controversy over Shim Suk-hee, who was part of their gold medal winning 3,000m relay team at the Games.
Shim is absent from Beijing 2022 after being banned for two months by the Korea Skating Union, after she was accused of deliberately tripping compatriot Choi at the Winter Olympics four years ago.
Women's 500m defending champion Arianna Fontana could achieve an outright record of nine short track Olympic medals should the Italian achieve a podium finish in the Chinese capital.
Canada's Kim Boutin will seek a maiden Olympic title, after winning one silver and two bronze medals at Pyeongchang 2018.

This book by Beruni has allow scholars of an Uzbek-Australian expedition to suggest that the images they had discovered are an ancient Khorezmian calendar.
Uzbekistan Today has been closely watching the efforts of the joint Uzbek-Australian archeological expedition. It includes scholars of the Karakalpak Research Institute for Humanities, Sidney University and specialists from Europe and the US. In 2015, we published a story saying that in one of the castles discovered in the Tashkirmon Oasis scholars saw images of human-like gods seven meters in height They surmised those were images of Zoroastrian gods. Further research of the monuments led to new hypotheses.
This calendar is based on the Zoroastrian but in many ways differs from it. The ancient Khorezmian calendar was based on the tropical year attached to the visible solar movement and had 365 days. The year consisted of 12 months, 30 days each. Five extra days were usually added in the end of the year. And, as it was mentioned earlier, all days and months carried the names of different. These gods were described in detail the book of Beruni "Monuments of past generations."
-This hypothesis explains the extremely enlarged sizes of the figures which as the gods were supposed to demonstrate their superiority over others - explains Makset Karlybayev. – In the Ancient Orient it was customary to portray all deities larger than ordinary people as to make them look terrible and omnipotent in such background. It is also known that the Aryan tribes, the ancestors of the Khorezmians, also had the common practice to name days and months after their most popular gods from the Vedic pantheon. It is noteworthy, that this ancient Khorezmian calendar was in use even after the spread of Islam and, hence, introduction of lunar calendar.
Investigations are continuing. Scientists believe that further study of the frescoes on the Ahshan Kala will bring lot of new information about development of the civilization on the territory of ancient Khorezm.
In the upcoming five years, new sports schools will be launched in Tashkent, Karakalpakstan and other regions of the country. This order has been issued by the November 23, 2015 Presidential Decree.

The current representatives of the national teams and reserves will be enrolled in these schools. They will be provided with free accommodation, food and all necessary gear and equipment.
Andijan's boxing school is well known all over the world.

A little-known, but vitally important, roundtable committee at City Hall finally heard and gave the go-ahead for the SoWa Market to proceed with individual permits for the expansion to Saturdays this spring and summer.
The Public Events Committee – made up of City and state officials from the MBTA, Boston Police, Boston Fire, ISD, Public Works and Transportation, among others – heard the proposal for a second time on Monday, March 27.
After a short presentation by the GTI Properties team, the Committee discussed a few of the details, including sandwich boards and the method to direct traffic to parking lots on Albany Street.
Following that, the Committee allowed SoWa to proceed with the necessary City permits to get the Saturday market expansion underway.
No one spoke against the proposal.
The proposal had been approved by the Old Dover Neighborhood Association in February by a 23-7 vote after a long meeting to discuss the particulars. Still, there were some very vocal dissenters in the room, though the majority of those voting members did come around to supporting the effort.
Since that time, GTI officials have been trying to finalize things with the Committee at City Hall, and with only some success.
After the first meeting, they were asked to meet with additional groups, including tenants of the Rollins Square building and members of the Union Park Neighborhood Association.
With that completed, GTI was back before the Committee on Monday.
Amy Yandle of the Committee told the Sun that the nod by her Committee isn't an approval, but it clears the path for GTI to apply for the necessary permits to allow the SoWa Saturday to commence – including permits for live music and from the Fire Department, etc.
The market already operates on Sundays and has for some time.
In February, GTI owner Mario Nicosia told neighbors that the market is a boon for small businesses in the area, and adding another day could really invigorate the business climate, which is hurting at the moment.
Several artists and retailers from the SoWa district were also in attendance and supported the expansion.

As the warm weather arrives I am so pleased to say that M has finally found her feet and is walking everywhere! I am pleased, not because she is walking as such, but because I know how frustrated she was not being able to walk.
Going to the park has now taken on a new twist. No longer do I have to lift her everywhere from swing to pushchair. No, not now. Now she will walk to whatever thing she wants to play with and at the same time as finding her feet she has discovered a whole new world, including suddenly being so much more interested in play parks in general.
Before she walked we would have a shot of the swings and that was that. Now she wants to try a shot of everything with her favourites being the chute and roundabout. It also means that she tires herself out and instead of singing in her bed for a couple of hours at night (quite content and happy to be in bed) she will actually fall asleep much faster!
I am in awe at how quickly she has worked out that walking is the best way to travel. Of course she still falls but she will walk round the shops, in the park, round the house, in the garden. Just two days ago I would have told you that she would only walk in the house. Until yesterday she had only taken two or three steps outdoors but now she is off.
The one problem I have is that although she can walk she can't actually stand up without pulling on something or leaning against a wall so when she falls or sits in the middle of an open space she can only get back to standing if we hold her hand and pull her up. How do we teach her to do this herself? I don't mind doing it but she does seem to get annoyed if we are not there within a nanosecond to help her back up!
Ah yay I am glad she's off now! Like with everything she will learn herself how to get up, don't worry about her getting annoyed that is what will spur her on to work out how to do it!
Think that is just what I am going to have to do, just hate people looking at me when she moans to get back up when in the park etc.

The Patriot Post® · Metastasizing Media Mendacity
By Arnold Ahlert · April 4, 2019
https://patriotpost.us/articles/62192-metastasizing-media-mendacity-2019-04-04
"People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it." —nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Dennis Prager
"It became a business model for most media to attack Donald Trump." —Donald Trump Jr.
Perhaps nothing more succinctly summarizes the current state of America better than the above quotes. For nearly two years, a collection of partisan hacks presenting themselves as journalists assured the American public that Donald Trump had conspired with Russian President Vladimir Putin to steal the election from its rightful winner, Hillary Clinton.
The effort was breathtaking in range and scope. NewsWhip, a social-media analytics company, revealed that since May 2017, an astonishing 533,074 web articles were published about Russia and Trump/Mueller, generating 245 million interactions on Twitter and Facebook.
The Media Research Center revealed that from the presidential inauguration through March 21, 2019 — the last night prior to Mueller sending his report to Attorney General Robert Barr — just the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC alone generated 2,284 minutes of "collusion" coverage, with 1,909 of those minutes occurring after Mueller's appointment on May 17, 2017. "Since his presidency began, nearly one-fifth (18.8%) of all of Trump's evening news coverage has been about this one investigation," MRC explained.
Moreover, there was no mistaking the slanted nature of that coverage. MRC adds, "From January 1 through March 21 of this year, the spin of Trump coverage on the evening newscasts has been 92% negative vs. just eight percent positive — even worse than the 90% negative coverage we calculated in 2017 and 2018."
CNN and MSNBC also contributed to the debacle, averaging between two and three hours per day of Russian collusion stories since the inauguration, rife with reports of imminent arrests, implications of treason, etc.
The print media? The New York Times and The Washington Post alone published nearly 1,000 front-page articles, many of which precipitated retractions long after after the damage was done. The Associated Press and Reuters followed suit, dispatching similarly slanted stories to their newspaper, radio, and television-station subscribers throughout the country.
How good was that for business? "There was an omnipresent awareness that this was, strategically, a very important story for us," an MSNBC executive told Vanity Fair columnist Joe Pompeo, who also noted the network had its best year ever in 2018. "There was no market for skepticism about it. As a business model, they see the ratings, and we were getting rewarded for this every day. When we had a slow day, it was kind of like: when in doubt, call the lawyers on; call the F.B.I. people."
Columnist Peter Barry Chowka concurred. "The ratings success of MSNBC and to a lesser extent CNN … suggested that the strategy of the executives at NBC and CNN starting in November 2016 to go all-out 24/7 anti-Trump was paying off," he explains.
In fact, while Fox News has long been the leader in the field, it was often topped in the 9 p.m. time slot when MSNBC's chief conspiracy-monger, Rachel Maddow, beat Fox host Sean Hannity in both the total numbers of viewers and the coveted 25-54-year-old demographic.
After the Mueller report was released, followed by the release of Barr's letter exonerating Trump? "The Rachel Maddow Show" endured a 13% decrease in viewership, including the loss of nearly 500,000 viewers on her Monday, Mar. 25 show, compared to her show a week earlier. She also saw a 15% decrease in the 25-54 demo audience.
She was not alone. Fox New surpassed CNN and MSNBC combined in every hour on Monday, March 25, from 5 p.m. to 12 midnight. In addition, CNN had its second-lowest weekday prime-time ratings of 2019 and its third-lowest 25-54-year-old demographic viewership for the year, according to Nielsen Media Research. Ratings for other shows on both networks have also declined by as much as 50%.
Repentance? Introspection? "I don't know anybody who got anything wrong," insisted CNN's Jake Tapper. "We didn't say there was conspiracy. We said that Mueller was investigating conspiracy." CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter asserted that viewers weren't tuning in to CNN and MSNBC following the release of Mueller's report because "there hasn't been much news."
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell declared that "no one in the news media … has read a single sentence of the Mueller report," and network president Phil Griffin insisted via a spokesperson that his network is going to "keep doing our job, asking the tough questions, especially when it involves holding powerful people accountable."
One is left to wonder whether that includes those powerful people at Griffin's own network who flat-out lied to America for more than two years, including regular contributor and former CIA Director John Brennan, who actually stated a "treasonous" Trump was "wholly in the pocket of Putin."
Brennan's response to the report? "Well, I don't know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was."
Former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson summed up Brennan's judgment — along with the judgment of his equally contemptible Obama administration colleagues Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and James Comey — in a devastatingly accurate tweet: "If Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Power, Comey genuinely believed Trump 'colluded' with Russia and he didn't, what does that say about the judgment of our one-time top intel types?" she asked.
Maybe it's time for the American public to find out. But they shouldn't expect any help from the likes of CNN. In fact, an astounding quote by CNN President Jeff Zucker reveals the level of corruption that infests his network. "We are not investigators," he insisted. "We are journalists, and our role is to report the facts as we know them, which is exactly what we did."
That the term "investigative journalism" apparently eludes the president of an ostensible news network is amazing.
Going forward? If the wholly discredited "hands up don't shoot" media campaign of Ferguson, Missouri, is any indication, the media continue to believe that wholesale lying is a good business model. And when that model is employed to delegitimize this president, and the 63 million "deplorables" who voted for him, so much the better.
The bigger picture? The media remain wholly in service to a Democrat/Deep State/Never-Trump Republican/corporatist/globalist alliance determined to reimpose the status quo — by any means necessary. And their media accomplices are so all in, they are warning Americans that if Trump shuts down the border, we would soon run out of … avocados.
When national sovereignty and security is even part of the same conversation as America's guacamole supply, the corruption is all-encompassing.
In 2016, the electorate expressed its collective disgust when it put a media-despised, status-quo-crushing outsider in the Oval Office. Reelecting Trump in 2020 might be the only real antidote to the legions of braying jackals whose shameless pursuit of power made a complete mockery of anything resembling truth and journalistic integrity.
One collective middle finger aimed in their direction was an anomaly. Two would be the beginning of a welcome trend.

New Ford Ranger Pickup Delivers Rugged Design and Superior Comfort
DUBAI, UAE, March 22, 2016 – The new Ford Ranger sets a new benchmark for pick-ups by presenting a bold and rugged new design that is smart and stylish, matched to an all-new interior that places the emphasis on space, quality and comfort.
"When you look at how our customers use their vehicles, it's important that a Ranger looks and functions as a tough, dependable tool," says Tracey Delate, general marketing manager, Ford Motor Company sub-Saharan Africa region.
"Our design team saw an opportunity to give the new Ranger extra tension, and to emphasise 'Built Ford Tough' design elements like the outboard nostrils – all while maintaining the new Ranger's excellent aerodynamic characteristics."
The new, modern look lends new Ranger pickup a powerful presence on the road, and immediately conveys a sense of capability. The design is defined by a strong new trapezoidal grille, flanked by imposing chiselled projector headlamps that are shaped to flow into the front wings. This clearly accentuates the width and strong stance, thus making the new Ranger instantly recognisable with a bold, technical look.
The lower part of the front bumper design incorporates a brush guard and is styled at the ends to include recessed driving lamps. The result is an evolution of the highly successful current Ranger in terms of both style and toughness, giving it a premium appearance over the competition in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment.
Colour options are largely unchanged from the outgoing range, except for the new Wildtrak's popular orange which will change to Pride Orange. Each of the new Ranger series has its own distinguishing features, designed to provide a distinctive visual identity between model lines:
Base: Black grille with Ebony colour bumpers
XL: Black grille with body colour bumpers
XLT: Bright chrome grille with body colour bumpers
Limited: Bright chrome grille with body colour bumpers
Wildtrak: Titanium grille and bumper, Sport Bar and Super Alloy brush guard
The updated exterior has been combined with a stylish new interior that creates an even more comfortable, contemporary and car-like environment for the driver and passengers.
"The interior of the new Ranger pickup is sleek and modern, with a strong technical aspect to it," Delate says. "Accentuating the design, we've chosen materials that are stylish and attractive while being durable enough to handle the harsh life of a working vehicle. The interior may look more car-like, but it's as practical as ever."
Strong horizontal lines run across the width of the cabin, with the attractive new 'Beam' style dashboard design imparting a sense of spaciousness. A clear distinction is created between the upper and lower levels, and places the focus on the central eight-inch touchscreen (on selected models).
The new dashboard is common across all new Ranger derivatives, except for the entry-level base that uses the carry-over dashboard.
Equipment and specification levels have also been updated to reflect the latest technology that Ford offers. Behind the steering wheel, a high-tech new dual four-inch TFT instrument cluster provides drivers with information about the vehicle, 4×4 driving data, multi-function computer as well as entertainment, phone and climate control details at a glance.
Engineers also fitted the new Ranger pickup with advanced sound-deadening materials and improved insulation for one of the quietest and most comfortable cabin interiors in its class.
For extra convenience, the new Ranger features a 230-volt power socket (in the Wildtrak) that can be used to power a laptop computer or other mobile devices anywhere, from a work site to a family road trip.

Most people heading out to the bar for a quick pint probably don't stop to ponder an important question: Is beer bad for your teeth?
According to the United States Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, moderate alcohol consumption is considered one drink per day for adult women and two drinks per day for adult men. And odds are your dentist notices if you're a moderate consumer of the barley beverage.
Yes. Acid in alcohol can wear down the enamel on your teeth, leaving teeth exposed to all sorts of things. One of them is staining due to ingredients like barley and various malts, which give the crafted concoction its appearance and flavor.
Like a slice of orange in your wheat beer? That just compounds the effects—citrus is also acidic.
Does beer cause dry mouth?
On its own, beer isn't the cause of a reduction in saliva. That's a product of alcohol, whether it is wine, spirits or a chilled lager. But saliva is actually a tool that your body uses to remove plaque and other mouth invaders in order to keep you healthy and happy.
When there's less saliva, there's more of that icky stuff clinging to your teeth.
Does beer make me sleep worse?
What does this have to do with your teeth, you ask? Well, while a few pilsners may help you fall asleep, your overall sleep cycle is interrupted—meaning you may get less rest.
So what can you do to keep your teeth happy while consuming a nice cold one? Easy: limit your servings and how often you drink, mix in water now and then, and opt for a straw. That will keep you and your mouth happy.

COP 26: More commitment and action from world leaders is needed to tackle the climate crisis
"It is indeed 'now or never'. Today, our planet and humanity are at crossroads. The challenge of climate change is beyond human imagination and hence requires urgent attention and response. The future of our planet will depend on how the human race is going to respond to the challenge of climate change." – WSCF Chairperson Dr. Geevarghese Mor Coorilos [Photo by LWF/Albin Hillert]
The World Student Christian Federation as part of the ecumenical coalition for climate justice -a coalition made of delegates and representatives from several different Christian organizations and churches- attended the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference that took place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in Glasgow, UK.
WSCF has been involved in Climate Justice advocacy as part of its Ecological Justice Global Program, being active in different ecumenical meetings and global encounters such as the United Nations Framework Convention Climate Conference (COPs) since 2015. Many activities have been done in the COPs framework, many of them related to the ecumenical delegation and inter-faith coordination in order to make our call for Climate and Social Justice stronger.
As years pass by, we see how reluctant are industrialised countries regarding the most important workstreams in the climate conversation, especially those that tried to slightly cover the climate and ecological debt with the most affected countries and communities that have contributed the least to climate change. Malena Lozada, Argentinian Scmer and representative of WSCF LAC at the Executive Committee, wrote: "For us, the Global South, the funding agreements are important; as climate change extremes the weather phenomena it also extremes the inequality conditions all over the world. And even though it is a global problem and needs a global solution and a whole planet that walks along; it is true that we have common but differentiated responsibilities. Those who are going to suffer more are the ones that have less economic resources to face a climate crisis and the ones that have very little responsibility in the generation of this crisis. So, for Global South, COP26 and the agreements have failed on attending the claims and necessities of this part of the planet ".
The ecumenical family and civil society organizations are concerned about the outcomes of COP26 as they remain far behind the accelerating climate crisis. Once again the selfishness and greed of rich countries have left behind the table some of the most important conversations such as loss and damage produced by the effects of climate change. The Statement on the outcome of COP26 of the World Council of Churches reflects this concern: "The executive committee of the World Council of Churches, meeting on 12-17 November 2021 in Bossey, Switzerland, therefore expresses its disappointment and dismay at the inadequate outcome of the COP 26 Climate Change Conference".
Regarding the context of the climate crisis, Dr. Geevarghese Mor Coorilos, WSCF Chairperson, shared a reflection on the responsibility of the global ecumenical community:
"It is indeed 'now or never'. Today, our planet and humanity are at crossroads. The challenge of climate change is beyond human imagination and hence requires urgent attention and response. The future of our planet will depend on how the human race is going to respond to the challenge of climate change. The arrival of the pandemic in the form of Covid 19 could well be nature's latest and perhaps the strongest alarm bell against climate change. The global ecumenical community has an important responsibility to address the issue from a theological and ethical perspective. There are those who believe that the issues such as climate change are inevitable signs of the "eschaton". Such responses reflect a superficial understanding of faith and contemporary realities. What is needed, instead, is a deeper perspective that would look at these issues from a prophetic/justice/liberation perspective. This would warrant, from ecclesial communities worldwide, on the one hand, a prophetic critique and denunciation of the neo-liberal capitalist models of development that has little regard for the poor and their environment and therefore the root cause of the problem, and on the other hand, an alternative lifestyle that is centered on the values of the reign of God, viz, justice, sharing, sustainability and integrity of creation. The challenge is found in the following verse".
"You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?" (Luke 12: 57).
WSCF delegate for WCC at COP26
In the first week of COP26, Stina Tysk represented WSCF as a delegate for WCC. Besides following negotiations and participating in different events, Stina was part of the Ecumenical group.
She participated in a stunt organized by ACT Alliance in the Blue Zone to highlight the importance of the loss and damage discussion and climate justice. The stunt was performed by the youth representatives. As well as the Climate Strike with Fridays for Future in the Blue Zone where youths from all around the world and organizations got together to strike.
Stina wrote down some of her thoughts and experiences at Cop26 in a post for the WCC blog:
Stina at Climate Strike with Fridays for Future in the Blue Zone, were youths from all around the world and organisations got together to strike. [Photo by LWF/Albin Hillert]"Divided might be the correct term to describe my experience of being here at COP26 in Glasgow. I proudly represent my organization, the World Student Christian Federation, and I am glad that the WCC gave me and the other delegates this opportunity. It is a way for us to network, learn and understand. We in the ecumenical group, consisting of Christians from a number of organizations and denominations, do our best to amplify the voices of those who are not able to be here and follow the negotiations, perhaps even affect one person here and there. At the same time, feelings of frustration and desperation are constantly present. At least for me. I think of the people outside. I think of the people inside who desperately try to make their voices heard. I am here with a badge that says observer. I am blonde, white, blue-eyed, from a rich country in the North, not only can I understand English, I can speak it as well. This is what others see when I walk around in the Blue Zone and when I leave it. In this regard, I belong to the majority of the thousands of people in the Blue Zone. It is wrong that the representation is so disproportionate."
The devastating effects of climate change, which is not only harming the planet but leaving people displaced, vulnerable and poor, require more commitment and action from world leaders if humanity really aims to tackle this crisis. As a global ecumenical fellowship of Christian students and young people, that believe in the role of youth as stewards of God's creation, called to care for the environment and the world, WSCF reaffirms its commitment to continue advocating for climate justice and building a more just world.

Q: Can I modify the byte code of a Java method in the runtime? I am writing a plugin of another large java program .
I want to modify some byte code of some java method of the java program during runtime, so that I can intercept the method calls (namely, inject some hooking code into the method).
Any way can achieve this?
PS:
I've checked the following approaches:
1.change the classloader of the java program. (we CANNOT change it)
2.use java proxy. (We CANNOT use java proxy, because java proxy would create a new proxy object. We DON'T use the proxy object. We need to hook the java program's object, and Use that object)
3. use -javaagent option ( we CANNOT add the commandline option for the java program.)
PS more [Edited again]:
My classes was loaded by ext class loader (I put my jar files in JAVA_HOME\lib\ext folder).
The large java program is an applet program loaded by Browser. When the browser start the applet, it also loads my classes.
PS more more [Edited again]:
Although it's running in Applet. I can have full permission. Because I can modify java.policy and java.security file.
Thanks,
Calvin

A: Just use -javaagent opiton,  which is used to modify the bytecode at runtime. You can find more about -javaagent from This Link or from This Link

A: There are several libraries which you can use. See for example here.
Once a class was already loaded/initialized by the VM it will be impossible to manipulate, though.
By the way, in principle you can also just replace the class to be 'hooked' with your own proxy class file. As long as the class' visible interface does not change this may work. (Sub-classes of the class may horribly fail at runtime though.) This replacement can be as easy as changing the classpath so that your class of the same name will be found first, before the original one. Delegating to the original class of the same name may be a little more complex in this case.

A: Yes, you can, but the process would be a bit tricky, as you would operate directly with memory. For this purpose, you'd look at unofficial documentation on sun.misc package and its Unsafe class.

*

*Warning 1: the Unsafe class would be removed in JDK 9 according to official sources.

*Warning 2: the Sun company would not take responsibility for your code to work correctly, as this class should not be used at all, and exists for system usage only.

A: Sorry, but this is not possible. First off, bytecode is immutable after classloading. The JVM provides several APIs that can be used to do something like this, but they are obviously highly privileged.
If you're running in a low privilege environment like a browser Applet, then you're obviously not going to be allowed to do this, and any method you could should be considered a security vulnerability.
But the question is why you are using applets in the first place, and why you want to modify code after loading. There's almost certainly a better way to do what you're trying to do.

As gaming has become more and more popular over time, Hollywood has adapted a bunch of our favorite games into movies like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Prince of Persia. While some of these have been hits, creating a series of movies that continue to tell the game's story, others have definitely been misses that we wish had never been created. However, there is another aspect of gaming that has become central to movie plots throughout the years: the people like us who actually play video games. The gamer character has been a starring role in several films, some of which had us wishing we could be in their shoes while others had us afraid to pick up our controllers. These movies span across a number of genres, including thriller, sci-fi and comedy, giving you plenty to choose from. Take a look at our 10 favorite movies about gamers.
