Flogometer for Isaiah—are you compelled to turn the page?
Submissions Welcome. Only one in the queue for next week. If you'd like a fresh look at your opening chapter or prologue, please email your submission to me re the directions at the bottom of this post.
The Flogometer challenge: can you craft a first page that compels me to turn to the next page? Caveat: Please keep in mind that this is entirely subjective.
Note: all the Flogometer posts are here.
What's a first page in publishingland? In a properly formatted novel manuscript (double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-point type, etc.) there should be about 16 or 17 lines on the first page (first pages of chapters/prologues start about 1/3 of the way down the page). Directions for submissions are below—they include a request to post the rest of the chapter, but that's optional.
A word about the line-editing in these posts: it's "one-pass" editing, and I don't try to address everything, which is why I appreciate the comments from the FtQ tribe. In a paid edit, I go through each manuscript three times.
Before you rip into today's submission, consider this checklist of first-page ingredients from my book, Mastering the Craft of Compelling Storytelling. While it's not a requirement that all of these elements must be on the first page, they can be, and I think you have the best chance of hooking a reader if they are.
Download a free PDF copy here.
Were I you, I'd examine my first page in the light of this list before submitting to the Flogometer. I use it on my own work.
A First-page Checklist
It begins connecting the reader with the character
Something is happening. On a first page, this does NOT include a character musing about whatever.
What happens is dramatized in an immediate scene with action and description plus, if it works, dialogue.
What happens moves the story forward.
What happens has consequences for the protagonist.
The character desires something.
The character does something.
There's enough of a setting to orient the reader as to where things are happening.
It happens in the NOW of the story.
Backstory? What backstory? We're in the NOW of the story.
Set-up? What set-up? We're in the NOW of the story.
What happens raises a story question—what happens next? or why did that happen?
Caveat: a strong first-person voice with the right content can raise powerful story questions and create page turns without doing all of the above. A recent submission worked wonderfully well and didn't deal with five of the things in the checklist.
Also, if you think about it, the same checklist should apply to the page where you introduce an antagonist.
Isaiah sends a first chapter of A Shadow Among Light . An earlier prologue/chapter version were submitted here. The remainder is after the break.
Please vote. It helps the writer.
Kavin spun and drew a lightbow, feeling the familiar vibration as the bow sent a charge into the arrow. The wiry fibers of the bowstring slid smoothly off of his gloved fingers as he released. Streaming wisps of white light, the arrow flew, screaming through the air. It smashed into a robotic sentry, and the bot vanished in a flash of burning plasma. Dropping to the ground and sliding, Kavin barreled into another sentry, stabbing it with a knife that pulsed with white light and destroyed the sentry as it fell. Springing up, he spun and cast a grenade into an approaching cyborg, and the creature vanished, vaporized.
The thrill of battle surged through Kavin's veins as he sprinted forward, his feet flying past the scorched ground from the grenade. He drew his bow once again and took aim. Seconds later, his arrow smashed into a commanding officer – a human male. The man went down, his wound streaming white light and spraying blood. He didn't rise.
Duck. The voice rang in Kavin's mind, from beyond his own thoughts and knowledge, deep in his primal, instinctual existence. Kavin dropped, letting his legs fold beneath him. There was a roar as a rocket flew over his head and slammed into the massive doors ahead. As the heavy metal of the doors gave way, Kavin got back to his feet and faced the looming fortress ahead, surrounded in barren, bleak stone.
"Kavin!" A strong, masculine voice called from behind. Turning, Kavin faced the voice, (snip)
Were you compelled to turn Isaiah's first page?
For me, a definite improvement over the first version—good work. Good action here, and a different world is being revealed by what happens instead of us being told about it. What's happening was enough to get me to turn the page to find out what the fight was about. But the writing could still be crisper. Notes:
Kavin spun and drew a lightbow, feeling the familiar vibration the wiry fibers of the bowstring vibrating as the bow sent a charge into the arrow. The wiry fibers of the bowstring slid smoothly off of his gloved fingers as he He released and, streaming. Streaming wisps of white light, the arrow flew, screaming screamed through the air. It smashed into a A robotic sentry, and the bot vanished in a flash of burning plasma. Dropping to the ground and sliding, Kavin barreled into another sentry, stabbing it with a knife that pulsed with white light and destroyed the sentry as it fell. Springing up, he spun and cast a grenade into an approaching cyborg, and the creature vanished, vaporized. The edits are intended to tighten the narrative and add pace. In a tense action scene, shorter, stronger sentences help create the feeling of movement and action. The use of "feeling" is a filter that separates the reader from the character's experience; just go there directly.
The thrill of battle surged through Kavin's veins as he sprinted forward, his feet flying past the scorched ground from the grenade. He drew his bow once again and took aim. Seconds later, his arrow smashed into a commanding officer – a human male. The man went down, his wound streaming white light and spraying blood. He didn't rise. More edits to tighten the narrative. I'm not all that happy with the part about the thrill of battle surging through veins. A bit of a cliché. Maybe show us: Kavin roared as he sprinted past the scorched ground from the grenade.
Duck. The voice rang in Kavin's mind, from beyond his own thoughts and knowledge, deep in his primal, instinctual existence. Kavin dropped, letting his legs fold beneath him. There was a roar as a A rocket flew roared over his head and slammed into the massive doors ahead. As the heavy metal of the doors gave way, Kavin got back to his feet and faced the looming fortress ahead, surrounded in barren, bleak stone. Unless this deep instinctual voice happens again, I'm not all that convinced by it. I also wonder about a military operation that would fire a rocket through its own troops. Seems like a dumb thing to do. We get the idea of "dropped" without the overwriting of his legs folding beneath him. I understand that you're working to visualize what's happening for the reader, but readers are capable of "seeing" what's going on without a lot of fine detail, especially in a battle.
Comments, please?
Submitting to the Flogometer:
Email the following in an attachment (.doc, .docx, or .rtf preferred, no PDFs):
your complete 1st chapter or prologue plus 1st chapter
Please include in your email permission to post it on FtQ.
Note: I'm adding a copyright notice for the writer at the end of the post. I'll use just the first name unless I'm told I can use the full name.
Also, please tell me if it's okay to post the rest of the chapter so people can turn the page.
And, optionally, include your permission to use it as an example in a book on writing craft if that's okay.
If you're in a hurry, I've done "private floggings," $50 for a first chapter.
If you rewrite while you wait for your turn, it's okay with me to update the submission.
Were I you, I'd examine my first page in the light of the first-page checklist before submitting to the Flogometer.
Flogging the Quill © 2015 Ray Rhamey, story © 2015 Isaiah
. . . as well as its owner.
"Sir," replied the soldier. His voice was slightly muffled by the veil he wore, covering all of his face save for his eyes.
"Lead a squad into the base," Hait said.
With a nod, Kavin flicked a hand. Five soldiers, all in black, slipped like shadows from the ranks of soldiers at Hait's command.
"Take it?" Kavin asked.
"Secure it, yes." Hait's black eyes flitted to the base for a moment, and then back to Kavin. "Better hurry."
Pulling a glowing arrow from his quiver, Kavin motioned for the soldiers to follow him. He kept his head low as he and his team hurried towards the base. They had been pressing a constant attack on the enemy for months, driving ever inward past border upon border. They were in a civilized land, fighting an advanced enemy. And now they had reached the heart of that civilization. Now they were ready to cut of the head and restore peace and control.
Reaching the door to the base, Kavin and his men hurried through the doors into the sprawling room beyond. A thundering yell hit their ears, commanding an attack. Grenades flew, and Kavin's squad split, rolling away from the attack. Smoke erupted into the air, burning eyes and nostrils.
Stay down, Kavin willed his soldiers. From somewhere to the right, there came the sound of shoes scraping on stone. Gunfire blazed, and a body fell.
"Damn it," muttered Kavin. Pulling a grenade from a pouch on his belt, he hurled it towards the sound of gunfire. It landed with a ping near the source of the gunfire. A brief shout rose, and then the grenade exploded, spraying plasma.
As the smoke began to clear, Kavin rose. He gazed around the room at the carnage. He'd lost two men – one to enemy gunfire, one to spraying plasma. The enemy had fared worse; they had lost ten soldiers, one of them a commander.
His remaining soldiers stood and hurried towards a door, sealed by a force field. Some of them looked expectantly at their leader for a moment, but Kavin's face only deepened into a frown as he went to the sides of his fallen comrades. Only one remained – the one struck by plasma had vaporized. The one torn apart by bullets lay on the ground, blood pooling beneath his body, eyes like glass. As Kavin touched the man's hand, he found the skin already cold and lifeless.
Stooping, Kavin picked the man up and set his body over his shoulders. As he joined his remaining squad members, he saw them begin to mutter to one another and roll their eyes. Among the other soldiers, Kavin was an oddity – he grew attached too easily, and refused to accept that when a comrade died, he or she was gone. There would be no more missions together. No more fighting side by side. It was over.
"Shut up," Kavin spat at his companions. "He started this mission with us – he'll finish it with us."
"He's dead," one of the soldiers retorted. "Leave him."
"I don't care if he's dead – he's one of us."
"And he's dead. So let it be."
"He's coming."
"All you've got on your shoulders is a body," the soldier said, tone softening. "There's no life in it. No commands to give or follow. No words to say, no gestures to give. He's dead."
"I don't give a shit! He's coming with us, and you'd better shut the hell up!"
"Kavin." Hait's voice rang in Kavin's ears, placating but firm. It wasn't loud – even if Hait had shouted, the little earpiece that every soldier wore would have canceled out most of the volume. "We've worked too hard and come too far to let this slip away now. You keep that body with you and you'll slow yourself and everyone else down. You'll endanger this entire mission. There's more going on here than you realize, I think. Leave him. Care for his body after you secure the base."
"That's an order," Hait growled, his voice losing its placating tone.
Kavin tightened his grip on the body, holding the fallen man across his shoulders.
"Now, soldier!"
The force field surrounding the doors that Kavin and his men faced blazed with light, and then it exploded in a flash, knocking several of the men down. Ears ringing and vision spinning, Kavin lost his grip on the body as he slammed into the ground. Ignoring the ringing, he rolled and surged to his feet, drawing his knife in one hand. He armed his other hand with his light plasma sword before launching into an attack. With so many opponents, he preferred his LPS to a single knife. Blades spinning, Kavin slaughtered three men before they could even react. Another fell as he pulled a plasma gun from a holster.
Having been given sufficient time to rise, Kavin's remaining soldiers sprang into action, guns blazing. Kavin was a slight anomaly – while the rest of the soldiers had advanced their weaponry and wielded guns and tactical long-range weapons, Kavin preferred traditional blades and bows. He was good with them too.
The doorway was cleared in the space of a minute, leaving bodies strewn across the floor and blood staining the hands of every soldier.
"Get the door open," Kavin commanded. He cast a quick glance at the ceiling – several surveillance cameras glared back at him. "And take out the cameras."
Nocking an arrow, Kavin drew back the bowstring, letting the charge build. His men took aim on the cameras and looked to Kavin, waiting for his signal. He gave them a nod, and they shot. The cameras went down. Seconds later, alarms began to blare. The force field around the inner door reappeared, and turrets rotated out from behind the walls.
"I told you to secure the base!" Hait roared over the earpiece. "Take out that alarm and secure it!"
Nodding instinctively, Kavin spun and released his arrow. It flew into a control panel near the shielded door, detonating in a blast of power, and the turrets sparked once before going limp on their mountings. The alarm, however, continued to scream.
"We have to get inside to take the alarm out!" shouted Nath, one of Kavin's men and the squad's technological guru. "I can take down the shield, but you need to give me time."
"As much as we can," responded Kavin. Motioning, he sent two men to the battered doors. "Nath's working on getting us in," he told Hait. "I've got two men by the door, but only four of us aren't going to be able to do this without some help."
"I don't have any reinforcements–"
"I just want you to keep the enemy busy," Kavin said. "We can get in, but we can't fight through an army as well."
"You have flares?"
"Two blue, two red."
"Shoot the blues if you take the base," Hait instructed. "If you're losing it, shoot the reds and hold till reinforcements come."
"You just said you don't have any."
"I can get some," Hait replied. But the message remained clear: if the base was looking to be lost, Kavin was to do anything and everything to keep it. Or he was to die trying.
"Nath needs time," Kavin said after a moment of silence. "Keep as many of the enemy away as you can. We'll take care of any you let through."
"You'd better. We can't afford to lose this." Then the com went silent.
"How's that shield coming?" Kavin asked, turning back towards the inner door, but there was no answer. The shield around the door still shimmered with energy, and the door remained sealed. The soldier wasn't there. "Nath?"
The faint whisper of cloth brushing stone brought Kavin's head around as he looked back over his shoulders. Near the concaved outer doors of the base, Kavin's remaining three men laid in a heap on the floor, unmoving.
Reacting purely on instinct, Kavin sprinted towards the soldiers. After perhaps three strides, a faint beeping noise reached his ears, followed by an explosion. Moving too fast to reverse his motion, Kavin dove to the side as stone and metal fell from the ceiling, burying the soldiers and sealing the doorway. There was a brief shout over the earpiece in Kavin's ear, but once the rocks fell there was nothing but static.

Are you an OJS, OMP, OCS or OHS user? Do you have ideas on how to make these products better? Then get ready to sprint! The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) invites you to our SFU Sprint May 6-7, 2019 in our hometown of Vancouver, Canada. And because PKP doesn't exist without you – our community of users – registration is free and dinner is on us.
Sprints are a great opportunity to meet like-minded colleagues, get hands on experience, and learn more about our software. Sprints aren't just a place to share ideas – the work you do has a direct impact on the development of PKP software. Though much of the work is technical in nature, there are opportunities for non-technical contributors as well.
Sprints run unconference-style with topics proposed by the group. In the past, we've focused on OJS including hacking in experimental features, building documentation, performing usability tests, and exploring new releases.
FREE! Registration for the sprint has now closed. There may be a few spots coming available, so please contact us directly if you are interested in joining.
The PKP Sprint will be held in advance of the Library Publishing Coalition Forum and the CARL Advancing Open meeting — both also held at SFU's Harbour Centre campus. Why not spend the whole week in beautiful Vancouver and attend all three! Participants can attend Day 1 only to accommodate other events.
Special thanks to SFU Library for assisting with local arrangements.

Bring your people together over delicious coffee from our professionally run coffee carts. Professional baristas with perfect extraction. Every time.
Events are all about getting people together to bond, network, share, and be inspired.
Whether it's an intimate company conference or a huge trade expo, everyone is there to have a great time. But when people need a break, they're often left to find coffee somewhere outside, hoping they won't miss anything in the meantime.
So have us bring the coffee (and the expertly-trained baristas) to them instead. We'll keep the coffee flowing, along with the conversations.
Lots of people enjoy drinking coffee these days, but sadly, venue coffee is often terrible. People love to drink nice coffee these days, so it needs to be good (because no one wants burnt milk, burnt tongues and 'poorly poured' coffee).
That's where My Barista can create some magic for you instead. With a quality setup, high-end espresso machines, and expert craftsmanship, your guests will get a coffee experience that matches your professional style.
Plus: tea & chai drinkers rejoice – we also offer a range of premium teas including English Breakfast & Herbal, and of course hot chocolates and creamy Chai's.
We have full cream, lite, almond & soy milk!
No matter the size of your event, we'll be pouring amazing coffee for everyone.
Whether you've got 50 or 5,000 attendees, the quality will be high and the smiles bright.
Make it easy for attendees to know that the coffee cart is just for them with seamless branding across everything.
We'll proudly wear your branding, including T-Shirts, Hats and brand our cart with your signage. We'll make sure that your coffee 'looks the part' to both your guests and staff.
We choose LOCALE because they're an Australian specialty coffee roaster that sources high-quality beans from sustainable farmers around the world. And Blend No. 143 is the result of their impeccable roasting process (think caramel, dark chocolate and hazelnut).
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you. The coffee cart was brilliant and the 2 baristas were absolutely fabulous. Such lovely people and very professional. We were very impressed. Thanks again!"
"I couldn't be happier with the overall service received from MyBarista, they were quick to respond to my questions, on the day the coffees were of excellent quality, service with a smile! The baristas had relaxed and calm attitudes, nothing was too hard, which made me significantly relaxed!"
"Thanks again for another well executed event. Please pass on our thanks to the girls. We will be in touch next time we want to run an event."
"Firstly, thank you for your assistance across all sites, we really appreciate you helping us out on such short notice. I have received nothing but great feedback across all sites, everyone mentioned how delicious the coffee was, how friendly the staff was and how organized your team was.Thank you again, I look forward to working with you in the future!!! Please share that with the team that assisted on the day!"
"We have used MyBarista a couple of times and are really happy with the service, their great coffee drives people to our conference stand, our sponsors provided branded cups and were really impressed! They are extremely easy to work with, flexible and reliable!"
"We have been using MyBarista for the past few years.. we wanted to raise awareness of our smooth FM brand and their service, flexibility and excellent staff made it possible. They helped us by adding knowledge and experience in a department we don't have.
"For us, reliability, presentation and a great tasting coffee is most important.. MyBarista has been providing our staff with their great coffee every week for the past 12 months. They are always on-time and are a perfect fit for our high level corporate environment. Both the Baristas and the operational team are very easy to deal with."

Bike sharing in Kuala Lumpur is relatively easy thanks to oBike, a mobile app that's available for free on Android and iOs. Offering a sustainable way of getting around Kuala Lumpur, you can find these yellow-coloured bicycles in locations such as prominent landmarks within KL City Centre, Putrajaya, Petaling Jaya, and Cyberjaya.
It's also a popular option for short-distance travelling within Bandar Sunway, especially amongst students as it's relatively cheaper than driving or hailing a taxi to travel between their school and the Sunway BRT station.
After downloading the app, a deposit of RM109 (or RM49 for local students) is charged via credit or debit card. You can then locate an available bike using a digital map. You can also book your ride in advance on oBike, though you're required to locate your bike within 10 minutes. Upon reservation, the bike will be displayed on the map, along with the directions to find it.All bicycles are locked using a Bluetooth-enabled terminal, so once you've connected your phone to a bike by scanning the provided QR code, it will unlock by itself. The fee costs RM1 for every 15 minutes of riding, and your deposit will be refunded after you've parked and locked your bike.
Unlike other bike-sharing platforms, oBike adopts a dockless system which means you can park the bicycle in any public space or parking lot upon reaching your destination. However, we highly advise dropping off your bike at designated oBike parking lots for the convenience of future users.

Q: proguard keeping enumerated type names in class file I am trying to obfuscate an enumerated type file in java and I've noticed that I can get proguard to obfuscate the names of the enumerated types like I want, including the references, however it keeps the old names of the enumerated types in the class file.

As you can see TEST, TESTAGAIN, and TESTAGAINAGAIN are still contained within the class file but are not actually used in mainClass, instead their obfuscated name is used.
In fact, if you look at these class files in a program like JD-GUI, they don't show up either, but they are contained within the class file themselves.  Is there some way to remove the TEST, TESTAGAIN, and TESTAGAINAGAIN within the class file via proguard?

The United State's Energy and Commerce Committee is considering a bill that will give VoIP providers direct access to the E911 system. The bill was approved by the House panel on October 10, 2007.
Currently, E911 calls from VoIP customers are routed through a third party who then connects the calls to the E911 operator.
The 911 Modernization and Public Safety Act, approved Oct. 10, would give VoIP providers direct access to the E911 system backbone. In addition, the legislation would extend liability protections to VoIP service providers in much the same manner as traditional landline and wireless carriers.
In a statement, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet said, "The E911 legislation is designed to ensure that a consumer calling 911 in an emergency from an Internet phone … can do so with a degree of confidence matching that of traditional phone service and wireless service."
Additionally, the bill directs the 911 Implementation and Coordination Office to craft a national plan to quickly move the nation from the current 911 system to an interoperable IP-based emergency response network that can handle voice, video, and data traffic.

In Singapore, my home number is really based on VoIP and routed on top of my cable's broadband connection. I haven't had any problems since I signed up for the service last year. However, if anything does go wrong, I still have a mobile phone that I can rely on.
What about you? Would you rely exclusively on VoIP for your home?

Give us your clutter, Bluebell Wood urges businesses
Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice is sending out a Clear Out Your Clutter appeal to businesses:
Whether it's last-season's fashions from a boutique, discontinued lines languishing in a manufacturer's warehouse or redundant IT equipment, the hospice's eBay team can turn company clutter to hospice cash.
Since it set up seven years ago the eBay department has brought in over £200,000.
This year income has grown and an additional member of staff has been set on.
"If you no longer need it, let us list it," said Sue Brown, the hospice's eBay administrator.
"With at least 140 listings running at any one time, we need a constant supply of quality goods."
Companies the hospice's corporate fundraising team has strong relationships with have already been very generous.
"There could be many more businesses in the region with anything from end-of-line stock to outdated office equipment stored in cupboards and stockrooms, or destined for a skip," said Sue.
"They may not realise how valuable it could be to their local children's hospice.
"We want them to recycle, repurpose and help our families at the same time."
The hospice needs to raise £4million every year to keep services running.
A recent donation of 150 old computer keyboards from the Sheffield headquarters of Elecomm who provide total solutions for the electrical and communication industry, netted the hospice a significant amount of money. Elecomm also donated roof-racks when re-equipping its fleet of vans which raised an additional £1,000.
The company, which has raised nearly £15,000 for Bluebell Wood, was delighted.
"The items were surplus to requirements. We were going to recycle them, then realised the hospice could earn money from doing the same thing," commented John Hamilton, Supply Chain Director at Elecomm.
"This is something every business should do with their unwanted equipment, instead of wasting something by throwing it away or sticking it in storage."
Other corporate donations include nine iPods from IT specialists Proact, 30 bar stools from a business who refurbished their canteen and 2,500 pairs of rainbow-coloured shoe laces leftover from a company's promotion campaign.
Already 1,400 pairs have sold at £2.50 a time - proving there really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Said Hospice Head of Retail Sunny Allison: "It is important that, in addition to relying on the goodwill and generosity of fundraisers, the hospice has its own income stream. We have a chain of charity shops in local communities, but selling on eBay enables us to reach customers across the world."
Items for donation can be collected from the South Yorkshire region or brought to hospice reception by prior arrangement. Call 01909 5174360 to arrange.

Open since 30 October, the Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul marks a spectacular new collaboration with celebrated architect Frank Gehry, whose curved-glass storefront, perched on the prestigious Cheongdam-dong in the Gangnam district. The unique facade marks Frank Gehry's first creation in South Korea — and fourth throughout Asia — and displays a clear connection with the shape of the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. It is also a collaboration with architect Peter Marino, who beautifies and decors the interiors with Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades.
"I am delighted to have designed Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul, reflecting the traditional values of the Korean culture."
Frank Gehry, Architect
In imagining his design, Frank Gehry chose to reference not only the shape of the existing Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris but was also inspired by elements of historical Korean architecture such as the Hwaseong Fortress, dating back to the 18th Century, as well as the elegant movements and white costumes of the Dongnae Hakchum (crane dance). Frank Gehry said, "What struck me when I first visited Seoul nearly 25 years ago, was the relationship between the architecture and the natural landscape. I still remember clearly the powerful impressions I had stepping up from the garden of Jongmyo Shrine."
The opening of Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul marks a further link in the strong connection between the House and Korean culture. The very first store was opened in Seoul in 1991, with a first global store following in Cheongdam in 2000. Exhibitions and work by Korean artists have been featured at the Espace Louis Vuitton, with the House also holding major events in Seoul. In 2017, the landmark Volez Voguez Voyagez exhibition dedicated to Louis Vuitton's heritage and history opened at the DDP, with an additional 'Korea Room'. 2019 also sees the publication of the Louis Vuitton Travel Book dedicated to Seoul, by artistic duo Icinori.

DRESDEN.-Ten years after the Washington Conference of 1998, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden is launching a major project researching the provenance of its entire holdings with the International Scientific Conference on the Restitution of Artworks on 2 October in Dresden.
The International Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets was held in Washington D.C. in late 1998. It led to the publication of the "Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art". However, ten years on, German museums are still nowhere near completion of an exhaustive search of their holdings for any Jewish-owned property that was not lawfully acquired.
It is over 50 years since the return of the greater part of the art treasures that had been taken to the Soviet Union from the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and other East German museums after the Second World War. Even now, however, many former holdings of Dresden and other museums in Eastern Germany are still missing. Likewise, the successor states of the Soviet Union, and other countries among Germany's eastern neighbours, are still left to lament the wartime loss of many works of art – a problem rather widely ignored. The opposing legal positions in this "looted-art problem" have become entrenched, and there is no sign of a breakthrough on the political front.
The two events in focus at this time are not directly related. And the context of the theft of Jewish-owned artworks by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945 makes it impossible to speak of any kind of equivalence or to compare losses. However, the unifying factor warranting an integrated scholarly approach to the two topics and their ramifications is that both involve the transfer of artworks consequent on the political catastrophes and mass displacements of the 20th century, along with the resulting problems of restitution. It is important to identify what is common to the two topics and in what ways they differ – but the overriding priority must be to point to possible ways forward.
With these aims in view, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden has arranged for a conference of leading experts in the relevant fields to be held on 2 October under the title of "Kunst-Transfer. Thesen und Visionen zur Restitution von Kunstwerken" (Art Transfers. Theses and Visions relating to the Restitution of Works of Art). The conference will set out to define the present position both in terms of current provenance research and the political climate, paying special attention to how we can tackle the problem over the coming years. The conference will be held as part of the 47. Deutscher Historikertag 2008 (47th Congress of German Historians, 2008), and will bring together renowned experts from academia, museums and politics – among them Charles A. Goldstein of the Commission for Art Recovery in New York, and Georg Heuberger, the founding Director of the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt and the Jewish Claims Conference Representative in Germany. Other conference speakers and the topics of their presentations are listed in the attached document.
While funding of research projects over the last few years by a number of foundations (among them the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung and the J. Paul Getty Foundation) has enabled the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden to establish a professional staff team dedicated to researching the history of the Museumsverbund (Association of Museums), which spent part of its time on provenance research, it has nevertheless generally remained impossible – given the overall Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden holdings of around 1,200,000 artworks – to get beyond merely researching isolated cases in direct response to lodged claims and external inquiries.
The spring of 2008 at last brought a turning point, in the shape of a project unparalleled not only in Germany, but internationally. Thanks to the active commitment of Dr. Eva-Maria Stange, the Saxony's Minister for Science and Art, the Saxon state government approved a grant of €15 million over a total period of ten years for the establishment of a database where every single work of art owned by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden be digitally recorded, inventoried against the current actual holdings, and – importantly – have its provenance researched. The entire mass of accessible source material will be reviewed, evaluated, and stored in the database, to be retrievable under multiple criteria. The name chosen for the database is "Daphne" – referring to an artwork held in Dresden's Grünes Gewölbe, portraying the Greek nymph who was turned into a beautiful tree. At some time in the medium term, "Daphne" will also be made available to users outside the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden in an online version. At that stage, it will also be possible for it to network with other databases, e.g. at the Getty Research Institute. The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen hopes to begin releasing the initial findings from this large-scale project in mid-2009.
Following the conference in Dresden on 2 October 2008, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden will be hosting an international symposium in Moscow, in partnership with the German Historical Institute in Moscow and Russian partner institutions, to run from 26-28 February 2009. The symposium's theme will be "Trophäen – Verluste – Äquivalente. Kulturgüter als Kriegsopfer: Forschungsstand und Perspektiven" (Trophies – Losses - Equivalence. Cultural Goods as War Victims: Current Research and Prospects). This forum will address the progress made to date in the recording of Russian wartime losses and in the search for missing Russian-owned artworks. The symposium is a pilot project as it is the first time that German museums have offered a platform to their Russian partners, attempting in this way to loosen the log jam in the looted-art debate by directly addressing the issues that matter to the Russian institutions.

Flagler Beach considers purchasing $571K fire truck, ignites controversy
Erica Van Buren @EricaVanBuren32
Flagler Beach City Commissioners are in talks on whether or not to purchase a new fire truck.
FLAGLER BEACH — City commissioners met Thursday to discuss whether to purchase a new fire truck, a topic that's proven controversial over the last four years.
The plan, outlined by Flagler Beach Fire Chief Robert Pace, is to donate Engine 111 to a fire academy. The department is leaning toward purchasing a Pierce Manufacturing 2020 Saber for $571,000.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, commissioners considered whether now was a good time for such a large purchase.
"We had a plan in place to put $75,000 a year in the fund to buy a new fire truck," City Commissioner Rick Belhumeur said. "Everyone agreed on that. I think we ought to wait it out and accumulate the money."
City Clerk Penny Overstreet said since the plan went into effect four years ago, Flagler Beach has placed $306,759 in reserves for the purchase.
"I think we ought to wait it out and accumulate the money," said Belhumeur. "We don't know what life's going to bring us after this pandemic. I think that the infrastructure money may come in handy somewhere down the road."
Belhumeur said Tuesday that the city bought a fire truck five years ago.
"If we buy another one at this point in time, that means we spent $1.1 million over a period of five years on two fire trucks," he said during a phone interview.
In 2014, Flagler Beach residents presented a petition with 650 signatures to the city clerk opposing the fire department's proposal to purchase a new fire truck, citing funding concerns. At the time, Belhumeur, who was not a commissioner, was vocal about his opposition.
Currently the fire department is working with limited staffing which is another factor surrounding whether or not now is a good time to discuss the purchase of a new fire truck.
Commissioner Ken Bryan questioned whether it would be feasible to repair the existing fire truck.
Pace said repairs would be costly.
"That would involve the plumbing, the valves and the gauges, the pump packing and the pump transfer that we discussed with you yesterday," said Pace. "I don't have a price off the top of my head of what that would cost. I can tell you that it can be very expensive."
Commissioners also questioned if purchasing a refurbished truck would be more cost-effective.
"I was asked a couple times about this and to be point-blank, I don't want to inherit somebody else's problem," said Pace. "I went through an extensive warranty list, so we're covered for a good while. Not to mention we're looking for 15 to 20 years out of this truck. With a refurbished truck I don't truly know what I'm getting."
Possible grant funding was also discussed.
"The department has been very successful in getting grants," said Pace. "We've gotten grants for bunker gear, smoke detectors, a compressor. However, it would take someone full-time the better part of the year to invest in just that grant itself. I don't have the staff to invest that kind of extra time."
Commissioners also brought up leasing rather than buying the truck.
"We could investigate a lease, but we would also pay interest," said Finance Director Kathleen Doyle. "Basic funding of this truck is taking money from the infrastructure surtax and moving it into the reserve. I think we could explore the possibility of financing it. But it really wouldn't have an impact on the budget."
The fire department is proposing that since there isn't enough available funding to purchase the new fire truck, additional funding will have to come from the infrastructure fund.
City Commissioners moved to hold a public workshop so residents can ask questions and voice concerns. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop has not yet been scheduled.


After you've developed your ability to maintain a steady pulse, the next step in your rhythmic development is learning to subdivide the beat.
Subdividing the beat means to play at the rhythmic points in-between the beats. This is an essential skill for all musicians and a critical one for rhythm section players like bassists. If you can't correctly play the subdivisions of the beat, you will cause unending problems for everyone in the band.
One day you may realize all of the good-feeling rhythm stuff falls between the beats not on them. The beat serves as a reference point around which other rhythms dance.
Nearly all good basslines, regardless of style, contain rhythms falling in-between the beats. If you want to groove, you need to develop a strong sense of where these divisions of the beat fall. This will take practice, time, and experience. It's frustrating for many in the beginning. Be patient and practice. Eventually you will feel these subdivisions without a thought.
A beat can be subdivided in numerous ways. Most commonly beats are evenly divided in two, in four, or in three.
Each beat is a quarter note and there are 4 quarter notes in a whole measure, or bar, of 4/4 music.
When you evenly divide the quarter note beat in two, you get two eighth notes.
When you evenly divide the quarter note beat in four, you get four sixteenth notes.
Another common way to divide the beat is into three evenly spaced notes. These are called eighth note triplets. Triplets are grouped together with a beam or bracket and have the number 3 written over or under them.
You can hear examples of these beat subdivisions on the subdividing the beat example page.
This lesson is a preview of where we are going. In the next coming lesson I will explain how to count rhythms. Then we'll go through the above subdivisions and learning how to play them, practice them, and get a feel for them.

Nebraska loses Emmanuel Bandoumel (knee) for rest of season
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska's Emmanuel Bandoumel will require surgery and miss the rest of the men's basketball season after injuring a knee in a game over the weekend, coach Fred Hoiberg announced Monday.
Bandoumel's knee buckled as he drove to the basket in the first half of the Cornhuskers' 76-65 loss Saturday to Penn State. He is the second Nebraska starter in two weeks to suffer a season-ending injury. Juwan Gary is out with a shoulder injury.

Bandoumel, a fifth-year guard who transferred from SMU, started all 20 games for the Huskers (10-10, 3-6 Big Ten) and was averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.
"I am heartbroken for Emmanuel to have his college career end this way," Hoiberg said. "I've said all season that Emmanuel is one of the best defenders in the country, and he impacts the game in so many ways beyond the measurables."
Bandoumel had started 84 consecutive games since his first season at SMU. He played 100 Division I games and totaled 880 points, 351 rebounds and 160 assists during three seasons at SMU and one season at Nebraska. He began his career at Hill College in 2018-19.

title: 'Applying to College 101: The FAFSA'
layout: post
date: 2018-10-16 00:43:10 +0000
author: Michelle Lessly Blackburn

---
You know you need to apply to college, but did you know you also need to apply for financial aid? The good news is that you don't need to complete a separate financial aid request for each school you apply to (unless they ask you to do so). All you need to do is submit the FAFSA.

**What's the FAFSA and where do I find it?**

FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and is the common form almost all colleges use to determine financial aid packages. You can complete and submit the FAFSA online at [studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa](https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa). The FAFSA goes live every October 1st and is for the upcoming academic year. For example, the FAFSA application opening in October 2018 is the form needed for the 2019-2020 school year. _Keep in mind, you'll need to complete the FAFSA for each year you will be enrolled._

**Is there a deadline?**

Yes. . . and unfortunately it's a bit complicated. Deadlines can depend upon the school, state (for public universities), and admissions consideration status. For example, those wanting to be considered for early admission may need to submit their FAFSA  as early November or December, while other applicants may not need to submit until late spring. Deadline information should be available on colleges' admissions sites.

Keep in mind that colleges and universities only have so much money available to give in student aid. So you'll want to submit your FAFSA as soon as possible to be considered for the maximum amount of aid.

**How do I fill it out?**

The FAFSA requires that both you and your parent provide information to determine the kind of aid for which you are eligible. You'll answer questions to determine if you can be claimed as a dependent, share your parent's demographic information, and provide your family's financial/tax information.

It's a good idea to have your tax paperwork and returns ready when you start to fill out the FAFSA so you don't have to come back to it later. Some students miss out on financial aid because they forget to go back and complete this part of the FAFSA. If your parent files their taxes online, they made be able to import their tax information directly onto you application using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.

_Don't forget to sign and submit your form!_

**What if I have questions or need help?**

There are many online resources to help you answer your questions or address your concerns. The [U.S. Department of Education](https://blog.ed.gov/2017/09/8-steps-to-filling-out-the-fafsa-form/) has many websites dedicated to making the FAFSA as easy as possible for students and their parents to complete.

**What happens next?**

Once submitted and processed, your FAFSA information will be shared with the institutions you listed on your application. It's not a bad idea to reach out the schools to confirm they received it—many colleges and universities will not consider your admissions application complete until they receive your FAFSA.

You'll also receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) within a month of submitting your form. The SAR will show you a summary of the information you submitted and give you the opportunity to correct any errors.

Then, all you need to do is relax!  Colleges and universities make aid decisions at different times in the admissions process, but you'll learn about the aid you will receive through an award letter. These letters can be challenging to understand, so stay tuned for future posts on the types of aid and how to decode your student financial aid package.


Second-half substitute Cesc Fabregas scored twice as reigning European and FIFA World Cup™ champions Spain fought back from a two-goal deficit to beat Chile 3-2 in an international friendly.
Vicente Del Bosque's side were punished for a slow start as Chile raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Mauricio Isla and Eduardo Vargas, but the introduction of Andres Iniesta at half-time reinvigorated the Spanish midfield.
Within nine minutes the Barcelona man had pulled a goal back and it was his pass that allowed fellow substitute Fabregas to level the scores with 20 minutes remaining. Fabregas then scored the winner in stoppage time, converting the rebound after his penalty had been saved by Claudio Bravo.
The win comes as the perfect boost to a Spain squad deprived of several key players as they prepare to host Liechtenstein in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier on Tuesday. Raul Albiol and Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez started in the heart of the defence, and the makeshift duo were given a hard time as Chile came racing out of the blocks.
Isla beat Iker Casillas with a well-hit cross-shot and, after David Villa and David Silva both had chances for Spain, Chile doubled their lead on 20 minutes when Alexis Sanchez supplied Vargas, who finished coolly past Casillas.
Only a fine Casillas save prevented Jean Beausejour from adding another, and Spain were lucky to be just two behind at the break.
Pepe Reina, Pedro and Iniesta all came on at the restart, and the Barcelona midfielder sparked the fightback when he sent a measured strike into Bravo's bottom-right corner to score his tenth international goal.
Iniesta's first-time pass was then prodded home by Fabregas for the equaliser and Chile cracked as Spain turned the screw, with Pablo Contreras being shown a straight red card for a crude tackle on Santi Cazorla.
Spain then won a penalty in the last minute when Alvaro Arbeloa went down inside the area and Jorge Valdivia was subsequently shown a red card for his protests. Fabregas' penalty was touched on to the post by Bravo, but the Barcelona man touched home the rebound to seal the win for Spain.

An estimated 40 percent of Americans are sleep deprived, according to the documentary "Sleepless in America," with many getting less than five hours of sleep per night.
There are many reasons for this, from intentionally staying up late to watch TV or surf the web to health problems (like pain) that keep you awake.
Millions of Americans struggle to fall asleep each night, including about 10 percent who suffer from chronic insomnia. This latter condition involves difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as waking up too early in the morning.
In many cases, making changes to your sleep-hygiene routine and lifestyle, such as exercising more and avoiding exposure to blue light at night, can significantly improve your sleep.

Mechanická práce je děj, kdy síla působící na fyzikální těleso posouvá tímto tělesem nebo jeho částí po určité dráze. Zároveň je mechanická práce fyzikální veličina, která vyjadřuje (kvantifikuje) množství práce. V nejjednodušším případě posuvného přímočarého pohybu je rovna součinu složky celkové působící síly ve směru pohybu a dráhy, kterou těleso urazí.

Při mechanickém ději v izolované soustavě vyjadřuje mechanická práce předávání mechanické energie mezi tělesy či systémy těles. Těleso či systém, který koná mechanickou práci, ztrácí mechanickou energii, těleso či systém, na kterém je práce vykonávaná, mechanickou energii získává. Mechanická práce jako veličina udává velikost této předané energie.

Práce vykonaná za jednotku času se nazývá výkon.

Značení
 Normou určená značka veličiny: W (angl. work), ve starší literatuře se lze také setkat s označením A (z něm. Arbeit)
 Odvozená jednotka v soustavě SI: joule, značka jednotky: J
 Jednotka vyjádřená základními jednotkami soustavy SI: kg·m2·s−2
 Další jednotky: viz Práce (fyzika) - nadpis Značení a jednotky

Výpočet

Posuvný pohyb
Mechanická práce závisí na síle, která na těleso působí, na dráze, po které se těleso přemísťuje, a na úhlu, který svírá síla a trajektorie pohybu tělesa.

1) Síla působí ve stejném směru jako pohyb tělesa
Přemisťuje-li se těleso po přímce působením konstantní síly  rovnoběžné s trajektorií pohybu tělesa, pak lze velikost práce zapsat ve tvaru
,
kde  je velikost působící síly a  je délka dráhy, kterou těleso urazilo.

2) Síla působí v jiném směru než pohyb tělesa
Práci koná složka síly rovnoběžná s trajektorií tělesa. Tuto složku lze vyjádřit jako , kde  je velikost působící síly a  je úhel mezi silou a trajektorií pohybu (konkrétně vektorem rychlosti, jenž je tečný k trajektorii pohybu). Pokud jsou  i  konstantní, lze práci získat ze vztahu

Tento vztah lze přepsat ve tvaru skalárního součinu
,
což lze slovně vyjádřit tak, že práce je dána součinem dráhy a průmětu síly do směru dráhy nebo součinem síly a průmětu dráhy do směru síly.

3) Síla se mění nebo dráha je zakřivena
V obecném případě, tedy i pokud je dráha zakřivena nebo síla je proměnná, použijeme pro výpočet integrál tzv. elementárních prací , tzn.
.

Tento definiční vztah je základní (platí i pro hmotné body) a lze z něho odvodit i vztahy pro další situace, ve kterých se jedná o složitější pohyby:

Otáčivý pohyb
Mechanická práce závisí na momentu síly, který na těleso působí, na úhlu, o který se těleso otočí, a na úhlu, který svírá vektor momentu síly a osa otáčení tělesa.

Otočí-li se těleso kolem neměnné osy otáčení působením konstantního momentu síly  rovnoběžného s osou otáčení tělesa o úhel , pak lze velikost práce zapsat ve tvaru
,
kde  je velikost působícího momentu síly a  je úhel, o který se těleso otočilo.

Práci koná složka momentu síly rovnoběžná s osou otáčení tělesa. Úhel otočení lze považovat za vektor (přesněji axiální vektor) směřující ve směru osy otáčení a orientovaný podle pravidla pravé ruky (palec v ose otáčení ukazuje orientaci úhlu, ukazují-li ostatní prsty směr otáčení).
Vztah pro práci lze proto přepsat ve tvaru skalárního součinu
,
což lze slovně vyjádřit tak, že práce je dána součinem úhlu a průmětu momentu síly do směru osy otáčení.

Pokud je moment síly proměnný, použijeme pro výpočet integrál tzv. elementárních prací , tzn.
.

Objemová práce
V případě těles, která nejsou dokonale tuhá, lze konat mechanickou práci nejen jejich pohybem posuvným nebo otáčivým, ale též jejich deformací. Vykonaná práce pak závisí nejen na silách působících na vnější povrchy, ale i na charakteru přenosu silového působení uvnitř tělesa.
Jednoduše lze práce vyjádřit v případě tekutin, pro které platí Pascalův zákon o rovnoměrném všesměrovém šíření tlaku. V tomto případě, pokud lze tlak považovat za konstantní, závisí "objemová" práce konaná jejich stlačováním na součinu tlaku  v tekutině a změny jejího objemu :
.

Pokud je tlak proměnný, použijeme pro výpočet integrál tzv. elementárních prací
, tzn.
.

Zpravidla se používá znaménkové konvence, která práci dodanou systému (tj. při stlačování, kdy ∆V je záporné) považuje za kladnou, proto znaménko minus v předchozích vztazích.

Povrchová práce
Další speciální případ mechanické práce souvisí s jevem povrchového napětí na rozhraní dvou kapalin resp. kapaliny a plynu. V tomto případě závisí povrchová práce konaná zvětšováním plochy rozhraní na součinu povrchového napětí  a změny plochy  rozhraní:
, resp.
.

Vlastnosti
Mechanická práce se nekoná v případech, že:
 těleso se pohybuje, ale žádná síla na něj nepůsobí (podle 1. Newtonova pohybového zákona při rovnoměrném přímočarém pohybu),
 na těleso působí síla, ale těleso je v klidu (jiná síla vyrovnává působící sílu),
 síla, která na těleso působí, je kolmá na směr pohybu (např. dostředivá síla při rovnoměrném pohybu po kružnici nekoná práci).

Pacers win fifth in a row, beat Knicks 92-86
NEW YORK — Rodney Stuckey scored 17 points, George Hill made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:34 left, and the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 92-86 on Saturday night for their season-best fifth straight victory.
Hill had 15 points and David West finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for Indiana. They have won 11 of 13 and came in tied for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Pacers had beaten the Knicks twice by a combined 44 points, including a 105-82 home victory Wednesday night, but this was a struggle throughout a night after beating Chicago.
Andrea Bargnani scored 21 points and Alexey Shved had 15 for the Knicks. They lost their third straight to drop to 12-49.
Consecutive baskets by Shved and two free throws by Lance Thomas gave New York its largest lead at 71-62 with just under 10 minutes remaining. The Pacers regrouped with their second unit on the floor, answering with a 16-4 run that put them ahead 78-75 on C.J. Watson's four-point play midway through the period.
It was 83-all before Hill nailed his 3-pointer, and Stuckey followed with two free throws and a bank shot to put it away. The backup guard has been a catalyst in the Pacers' second-half charge to postseason position and finished right about the 17.9 points he had been averaging since the All-Star break.
The previous four victories had all come at home, and the Pacers go right back to Indianapolis to play four straight there starting Tuesday against Orlando.
The Pacers, who never trailed Wednesday, had a 22-18 lead after one quarter. But they shot just 5 for 21 in the second and had just two baskets in the final 9 1/2 minutes, both by Stuckey. The Knicks outscored them 18-7 during that stretch and led 43-38 at halftime.
Indiana had only two more baskets in the first 5 minutes of the second half before West got the Pacers untracked with three straight jumpers for a 52-51 lead. New York led 63-60 after three.

Which Type of Nurse Makes the Most Money?
by Beth Greenwood
Certified registered nurse anesthetists perform essentially the same duties as an anesthesiologist.
1 Advanced Practice Nurses vs. Nurse Practitioners
2 Comparison of the Role of Nurse Educator Versus a Nurse Practitioner
3 Nurse Educator vs. Clinical Nurse Specialist in OB
4 Nursing Vs. Physical Therapy: Salary and Requirements
A nurse can be a licensed practical nurse or licensed vocational nurse, a registered nurse or an advanced practice nurse. Although each group has similar duties in some ways, especially as those duties relate to direct patient care, their annual incomes may differ by as much as $100,000. A nurse with more education and more responsibilities generally earns the best wages and may have additional income-generating possibilities such as working as an independent contractor or starting her own business.
Licensed Practical Nurses
Licensed practical nurses and licensed vocational nurses perform the same duties; the titles differ according to the state in which they work. They are the least-educated of all nurses and normally attend only 12 to 18 months of school before they obtain a license. An LPN provides direct patient care in a hospital, clinic or nursing home or in home care. LPNs are not independent practitioners and must be supervised by an RN or doctor. LPNs earn the lowest wages of all nurses, with an average annual income of $42,040 in May 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
RNs are considered the first level of professional nurses. They may be educated as diploma nurses at hospital-based nursing schools or may have either an associate or bachelor's degree in nursing. This group functions at many levels within the health care system. A registered nurse may provide direct patient care in a hospital, clinic or outpatient care center or in home health. Many RNs with baccalaureate degrees advance into the first stages of nursing management. RNs in the United States earned an average annual salary of $69,110 as of May 2011, according to the BLS.
Advanced Practice Nurses
Advanced practice nurses are the best educated of the group; a master's degree in nursing is the minimum requirement for advanced practice. This group includes nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, certified registered nurse anesthesiologists and clinical nurse specialists. Nurse practitioners provide direct primary care to adults and children. Certified nurse midwives provide direct care services for women from adolescence to post-menopause, including obstetrical care. CRNAs administer general anesthesia. Clinical nurse specialists may provide direct care or act as educators or clinical liaisons in complex health-care organizations.
Earnings for Different Specialities
The BLS does not track salaries for advanced practice nurses separately from RNs in general, but an article from the HealthECareers website on June 13, 2012, reports an average annual salary ranging from $83,000 to $94,050 for nurse practitioners. These figures included data from 2011 and 2012. The average annual salary for a clinical nurse specialist as of July 2012 was $50,000 to $100,000 according to the Explore Health Careers website, while a certified nurse midwife earned an average annual salary of $114,152 in 2010, according to the American College of Nurse Midwives.
The Highest Nursing Wages
CRNAs generally top all other nurses who provide direct care, with an average salary of $189,000 in 2009, according to a Merritt Hawkins salary survey. The only other nursing group that comes close to CRNAs is nurses who have a doctorate, but their salaries vary from $50,000 for assistant professors to close to $200,000 for the limited number of nurse executives in university medical centers. CRNAs as a group are most likely to earn the highest wages in the nursing profession.

It should split like
This is my first java Program.
I am new to java program. but my program is successfully running without any. issues.
Thanks to all.

the regex should take the below pattern
1.dot
2.followed by space
3.followed by capital letter word(not lowecase)

I tried this

*

*\\.\\w[A-Z]

*\\.\\s\s[A-Z]

*\\.(?!\\w)
But failed to get it.

A: Try following code:
String text = "This is my first java Program. I am new to java program. but my program is successfully running without any. issues. Thanks to all";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(?<=\\.)\\s+(?=[A-Z])");
String[] lines = pattern.split(text);
for (String line : lines) {
    System.out.println(line);
}

Output:
This is my first java Program.
I am new to java program. but my program is successfully running without any. issues.
Thanks to all

A Christmas Carol Returns to DPAC
Presented by Theatre in the Park
Raleigh, North Carolina - July 21, 2015 - A Christmas Carol – The Tradition Continues! The hit musical comedy adaptation, now celebrating its 41st anniversary! One of the Triangle's most beloved Christmas traditions will once again be featured at DPAC this December for five shows only. Ira David Wood III's hit musical comedy adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic will run December 17th through 20th, 2015 in Durham. Last year's shows at DPAC sold out, so plan on getting your tickets early.
"Theatre in the Park's A Christmas Carol has always been the most fun, entertaining, and heartwarming holiday event in the region. As a Triangle native, my family's annual trip to see this show is one of our favorite Christmas traditions. And we try to guess what the new jokes will be! Since performances expanded to DPAC in 2008, I am thrilled that more fans get to experience Ira David Wood III's classic story each year," says DPAC's Director of Marketing, Emily McLoughlin.
Tickets for the Durham performances go on sale this Friday, July 24 at noon:
Ira David Wood IV will play the role of Scrooge at the December 19th 2:00 PM matinee.
Theatre In The Park's original musical comedy adaptation of A Christmas Carol, based on the book by Charles Dickens and adapted for the stage by Ira David Wood III, now in its 41st year, has been cited as "one of the most successful shows in North Carolina theatre history" and voted one of "the top 20 events in the Southeast" by the Southeast Tourism Society. In 2010 it was voted best in the Triangle by readers of Triangle Arts and Entertainment. A Christmas Carol has become a holiday tradition in the Southeast, and has also enjoyed critically acclaimed tours to England and France. A Christmas Carol was the first full scale theatrical event staged at DPAC during its opening week in December of 2008. Approximately 30,000 people attend the local production runs in Raleigh and Durham each year.
