(CNN) -- In an interview with investigators last week, one of the two Minneapolis police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk said he was startled by a "loud sound" near the squad car.
Immediately after that loud sound, Ruszczyk approached the driver's side window of the car and was fatally shot by Officer Mohamed Noor, according to investigators.
A recently revealed search warrant may explain the source of that startling sound: a slap.
A woman presumed to be Ruszczyk was killed after she slapped the back of the police car, according to a search warrant obtained from Hennepin County District Court by Minneapolis Public Radio and the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension used the warrant to search the area where the shooting happened, Minneapolis Public Radio said.
"Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad," the search warrant states, according to Minneapolis Public Radio. "After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."
The new detail may help explain what led to the July 15 fatal shooting of Ruszczyk, a 40-year-old Australian bride-to-be. Ruszczyk had called 911 about 11:30 p.m. on that Saturday night and asked police to investigate a possible sexual assault in the alley near her residence.
A police squad car with officers Michael Harrity and Mohamed Noor arrived on the scene. Less than 30 minutes later, Ruszczyk died of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
A number of questions remain about what happened in those moments. The officers' body cameras were not turned on and the shooting was not captured on the squad car camera, investigators with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said.
The shooting has roiled the Minneapolis Police Department, caused outrage in the United States and in Australia and led to the resignation of the department's police chief.
"This should not have happened," former police Chief Janeé Harteau said. "On our squad cars, you will find the words: 'To protect with courage and serve with compassion.' This did not happen."
Harrity and Noor are on standard administrative leave during the investigation.
Harrity, who was driving the vehicle, spoke with investigators on July 18. Noor has declined to be interviewed by investigators and his attorney did not provide clarification on when or if an interview would be possible.
CNN's Carma Hassan contributed to this report.

I'm in search for the perfect period subscription box. I tried out Le Parcel, and long story short it majorly sucked—so on to the next one. Bonjour Jolie promises to "take the frustration out of your period and put the happy back in," so I tried out their one-time box. Spoiler alert, it's definitely a step in the right direction.
I was amazed by the amount of customization provided when you sign up for Bonjour Jolie. You initially choose between a one-time box ($26.50) and a monthly subscription ($22.50); you can also choose to receive just a box of treats without the feminine products ($20.50). You can also customize your box to be gluten-free, sugar free, nut-free, caffeine-free, or vegan.
But that's not all; you get to choose between pads (Always, Stayfree, Tampax, Kotex, U by Kotex, U by Kotex Tween, NatraCard, or Seventh Generation) or tampons (Tampax Pearl, Tampax Radiant, Tampax Cardboard, U by Kotex, or Seventh Generation), or a combo of both. Bonjour Jolie also offers the option for liners (Always, CareFree, Kotex Security, U by Kotex, Always Radiant, Poise, and Playtex Sport).
In addition to the feminine products, each Bonjour Jolie box comes with feminine wipes and Advil, bath and body pampering items, specialty teas and drinks, sweet treats, and a hand-curated gift. You also get the option of adding more of everything—extra Tylenol, Midol Complete, BodiHeat, Advil, an extra bag of sweets, an extra bag of pampering items, or a high-end makeup item.
You also get to choose your ship date. Bonjour Jolie is definitely the most customizable period subscription box I've come across.
I have just one complaint: NO. CHOCOLATE. One quick trip to the Bonjour Jolie Instagram proves that some customers do receive chocolate in their boxes, but this girl didn't. And this girl firmly believes that periods and chocolate always go hand in hand. Always.
The lack of chocolate aside, there is A LOT going on in this box—flavored teas, advil, a cute little macaron-shaped lip balm, and even a necklace. My favorite product was probably the macaron-shaped lip balm; it's super moisturizing and it doesn't smell like anything. I repeat: it doesn't smell. At all. The scariest thing about receiving a free lip balm is the awful smell that usually comes with it; so I was excited about receiving something so Instagram-worthy and functional. It now lives in my purse and I've gotten compliments on it already.
One Bonjour Jolie box costs $25.60, so the $40.92 total value is slightly above the cost. And the great thing about Bonjour Jolie is that there are SO many products. Don't like caramel? Eat a sucker. Don't like the teas they give you? Use the honey packet to spice up your normal morning tea. Even better, when you sign up and choose what all goes into your box, you can add extra products — an extra bag of sweets, an extra bag of pampering items, or a high-end makeup item, and even extra Advil, Tylenol, or Midol Complete.
Obviously, this drives up the price, but if you'd rather have more pampering than candy, it's worth it; plus, you literally never have to leave your home during your period again.
The Verdict: Is Bonjour Jolie Worth It?
Honestly, the Bonjour Jolie box contains a lot of products—too much for me to use during the four days my period lasts each month. This box could easily be spread out over two periods, especially because with any period subscription box you're spending more than you normally would—so I would personally recommend trying out the one-time box and just ordering whenever you need one. Or whenever you just want a little pampering.
That being said, subscription boxes like Bonjour Jolie are popular based on the convenience factor. You're shy and don't want to be seen buying tampons, candy, and pain meds all in one trip? You always forget to pick up tampons before Mother Nature strikes? Or maybe you just want to feel a little special during your lowest point of the month? Bonjour Jolie's monthly subscription is the perfect solution for you.

A Look Back: 100 Years of Christmas Tree Trends
by Holly Martin | Dec 13, 2022 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Celebrate our anniversary with a century of Christmas tree decorating ideas, straight from the pages of Better Homes & Gardens.
Lacey Howard
Each holiday season is heralded by treasured traditions and decor that taps into cherished memories. And perhaps no item is more synonymous with the season than the Christmas tree.
https://ad4118d421d5f27f2fc1f703afef3e40.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html
While decorating homes with evergreens during winter actually dates back to the Romans, Druids, and Vikings, the Germans are credited with displaying the first Christmas tree in the 16th century. In 1846, the tree went viral (well, the mid-1800s version of viral) when Queen Victoria of England decorated a tree as a nod to her husband's German heritage. When an illustration of the royal family standing around the tree was published in newspapers, having a Christmas tree became the hottest new interior design trend. And soon, the practice was firmly planted in the American holiday tradition.
To celebrate our 100th anniversary, we're taking a look back at the past century of Christmas trees featured on pages of Better Homes & Gardens—from 1920s clip-on candles and strings of cranberries to today's LED fairy lights and felted wool ball garlands.
BETTER HOMES & GARDENS PHOTO:
1920s: Fresh-Cut Trees and Electric Lights
The fresh fragrances of pine, fir, and spruce are hallmark aromas of Christmas. And in the early days of Better Homes & Gardens, freshly cut Christmas trees brought those beloved scents into the home—but not weeks in advance as is now custom. In a 1926 issue, writer Marjorie C. Murphy wrote that not until Christmas morning does the tree "take its rightful place in the chimney corner, glowing with color and light."
Murphy describes the ideal tree of the time: "It stands, if possible, near the fireplace; its branches are broad and full and generous; its tip almost touches the ceiling; it sparkles and glows with color. The delicate and fragile balls that swing from the very tips of its branches are of lovely greens, strange blues, vermilion, gold, and silver. There are chains of cranberries, chains of popcorn, kindergarten chains of bright papers, and dearest of all those glittering chains of tinsel; gracing the very top is an angel or a star."
In our 1928 December issue, writer Frank I. Solar encouraged using electric lights on the Christmas tree instead of the long-held tradition of lit candles clipped to branches. "The flicker of the Christmas-tree candles among the green boughs of the Christmas tree is a beautiful sight, but so many lives have been lost thru [sic] fires caused by the candles igniting the trees," he wrote.
String lights were not a brand new technology—stores had been using them in displays for years—but it wasn't until the end of the 1920s that electric lights were affordable for the average family. Solar explained that electric lights were becoming a universal practice and it was "well to substitute other Christmas-tree ornaments for the candles."
1930s: Depression-Era Handmade Decorations
Depression-era holidays were marked by austerity rather than excess. Christmas trees were decorated with handmade ornaments as well as food like popcorn and cranberries. In 1930, Better Homes & Gardens published a letter from a reader sharing a thrify Christmas tree decor idea. Rather than burn the envelopes that Christmas cards come in, she used the patterned envelope liners to create tree trimmings.
Although faux trees were first introduced in the '30s, our pages touted the benefits of a living tree, suggesting a root ball that you could later plant in the garden and even bring inside year after year. In 1934, our pages featured a "jolly green tub, 14 inches wide, for your Christmas tree." The column described a new product, now known as a tree stand—a holiday must-have that's still a staple today.
By 1937, the world was recovering from the Great Depression and the pages of Better Homes & Gardens encouraged festivity and originality with holiday home decor. One article featured the writer's own Christmas tree—one that lived most of the year in the garden but was brought indoors and decorated for the holidays. A black-and-white photo of the decorated tree appeared alongside a colorful description: "Our snowbound, living Christmas tree has been laden with white and silver ornaments and a few large blue balls to create shadows. The unique reindeer, whippets, airplanes, Eskimo dolls carrying tiny Christmas candles, bells, etc, have been grouped to bring out individuality. Gifts under the tree are wrapped in sparkling blue and white Cellophane to carry out the color scheme."
Trim Your Tree with the Top Christmas Ornament Trends of the Past Century
1940s: Wartime Shortages and Upcycled Ornaments
For the first half of the '40s, the United States—like the entire globe—was focused on World War II. American troops were deployed to Europe and the Pacific and the mood at home was somber but patriotic and unified in the wartime effort.
In our 1942 December issue, Fae Huttenlocher wrote, "Happiest spot in all the world at Christmas should be the home—for those doing their big part on the home front, for those back for precious hours or days from school or camp, for those unable to 'make it,' but just as truly here in our hearts. Let the home fires burn higher and brighter than ever this year for those who gather round them." She wrote that Christmas decorations should "express the warm friendliness of traditional good cheer, more precious to us than ever before."
With manufacturing focused on war efforts, decorative goods were not readily available on store shelves. Instead, our pages inspired readers to get creative in decking their halls. A 1943 story reads: "Let's make our homes a magnet of cheer—this year as never before. It takes so little and means so much. It's not money expenditure that counts on this occasion; it's good taste, imagination, and ingenuity. And you'll not need to worry about shortages if you plan ideas like these, using things you have around the house, touching them up with Yuletide green."
In 1945, the DIY theme continued with ideas for making homemade Christmas garlands. "Tired of tinsel? Make decorative swags by stringing pinecones. Medium-sized pinecones are prettiest when brushed with silver, green, or red gilt paint from the dime store, and fastened on paper ribbon 6 inches apart."
We also instructed readers on upcycling ornaments from household refuse. "Shiny ornaments to reflect your Christmas tree lights can be fashioned from tin can lids. Make this tin icicle by twisting the narrow trimming from a coffee can into a corkscrew shape. Those small pieces of plastic frequently found in the tops of candy or cosmetic boxes make shimmering Christmas trees."
1950s: Shiny Brite Ornaments and Flocked Trees
Optimism and color reigned in the post-war decade when many of the 16 million American men and women who served in the war returned home. Young newlywed couples drove suburbanization and a huge baby boom. Midcentury modern style and the bright colors (think pink, yellow, and turquoise) of on-trend interiors made their way to the Christmas tree, as well. Shiny Brite ornaments, first mass-produced in the 1940s and known for their colorful designs and shapes, hit peak popularity.
In our December 1953 issue, writer Fae Huttenlocher declared, "A white tree is best." The snowy flocked tree was a standout at the time. We now have modern instructions for how to flock a tree, but we originally gave readers the following instructions on flocking trees. "White branches are made by applying Casein, a white powder, mixed with water. It never loses its whiteness even outdoors. For indoor use, you can dip branches in laundry starch. In either case, before the branches dry, sprinkle with artificial snow. It will glitter and adhere indefinitely."
Soon, technology brought about a tree that sparkled, sans flocking, didn't shed its needles, and didn't even require watering. Introduced in 1959, the Evergleam aluminum Christmas tree was an instant hit and the pioneering company behind the sparkling trees manufactured more than one million in the decade that followed.
8 Iconic Christmas Trends That Are Making a Comeback in 2022
1960s: Customized Ornaments and the Charlie Brown Tree
The '60s were a time of modernism and the Space Race, but also a time of social upheaval, individualism, and self-expression. Home decor was mass-produced cheaply with the idea that items would be thrown away once there were no longer en vogue. Christmas decor was no exception. With these decorate-my-way and nothing-is-forever mindsets, Better Homes & Gardens coached readers to create ornaments that would fit their personal holiday scheme without breaking the bank.
In 1964, we encouraged readers to "blanket a tree with these strictly hand-crafted-at-home ornaments." We showed readers how to turn unadorned Christmas balls into sparkling ornaments covered in sequins, velvet ribbons, paper doilies, gold foil, rickrack, and more. The nod to a reader's ability to choose their own colors and trims and create their own decor with just a little bit of inspiration nodded to this individualistic decade.
Now considered a classic holiday treasure, the cartoon A Charlie Brown Christmas was an unexpected hit when it aired on national television in December 1965. It also ushered in a beloved new type of Christmas tree: The diminutive, sparsely branched Charlie Brown tree bloomed in popularity and has remained a steadfast trend even today.
While some families clung to freshly-cut Christmas trees, some embraced a modern look with aluminum trees, while others had a soft spot for the Charlie Brown tree. Our pages acknowledged that each tree is a celebration of the holiday season, no matter its looks. "Everyone has his own idea of how a Christmas tree should be decorated … Some trees are hung with home-fashioned ornaments, strings of popcorn, cranberries, and lopsided paper trims cut with fumbling childish fingers. Others are glowingly color-schemed and laden with exquisite glass balls."
1970s: Homemade Trees and Nontraditional Decorations
The 1970s turned toward the environment and all things natural, from houseplants to wood wall paneling and countertops to a color scheme of avocado green and harvest gold. This focus applied to Christmas decorating, too. The individualism from the previous decade remained and Better Homes & Gardens spoke to personal style in 1974. "With all the different kinds of trees available today—metal, plastic, flocked, and evergreen to name a few—it may take a while to find one that suits you."
We also recommend pairing a tree with your home's existing decor. "After all, your Christmas pine or spruce is usually placed in a spot where everyone can see and admire. It's fitting the evergreen should strike the right accent note with your furnishings."
A nostalgia for sewing and handcrafts, helped along by America's Bicentennial, pushed back against mass-produced decor. In the 1970s, we offered several trees readers could make themselves. "Why not indulge in an ever-after version—one you can unroll, unwrap, or hang up at the very beginning of the holiday season before you buy the green one?" A dramatic dried-material tree is a handsome study in browns and golds, while a see-through tree made of green string and hung from the ceiling resembles a freestanding mobile. A macrame wall tree is an example of a classic craft updated for contemporary use.
The influence of the nation's 200th birthday and nostalgia for handmade decor was reflected strongly in our pages. In our 1977 Christmas issue, we featured a collection of stitchery projects, including "calico birds and star ornaments in tree, quilts, and pillows," along with instructions for an appliqued tree skirt, fabric garlands, and a rose wreath.
1980s: Maximalism and Monochromatic Decor
"More is more" might just sum up the 1980s perfectly. In an about-face from the 1970s earthiness and nostalgia, decor in the '80s turned toward maximalism, bright colors (hunter green, burgundy, peach, and mauve), and patterns (think Laura Ashley florals and Ralph Lauren stripes). Home and holiday decor were now a materialistic fashion statement.
Our December issues featured trees decked in distinct color palettes (no more everything-goes ornamentation) as Christmas trees became more of an interior design element than a nostalgic tradition. In one 1981 feature, a towering tree is dressed for the season with matching gifts tucked under its lowest branches. "A crisp red and white scheme and lots of fresh greenery suit this young family's contemporary tastes … At this time of year, the freshly cut tree becomes the focal point for family gatherings."
Trees at the time were more about creating a cohesive look throughout the home than displaying sentimental memories or meaningful ornaments. Christmas decor also emerged as a theme, stretching beyond just the tree or a color scheme.
7 Christmas Color Trends That Will Be Huge in 2022
1990s: Themed Trees and Shabby-Chic Style
In the '90s, beige became the color du jour for walls and furnishings. Textured, pared-back decor replaced the big, loud fashions of the previous decade. In this final decade of the 20th century, Americans emulated Old World and European styles and became enamored with the romantic, feminine look of shabby chic by Rachel Ashwell—where perfectly lived-in slipcovers paired with the sparkle of crystal chandeliers and case goods with chippy paint.
Shabby-chic style can be seen in many of the themed trees featured within our pages in this decade. One homeowner featured in our 1994 December issue decked her Christmas tree with real waffles, red-and-white bows, and clip-on candles. Another used gingerbread cookies and cranberry balls in keeping with her year-round, shabby-chic-style interior.
While themed trees were all the rage, we also encouraged readers to embrace the mismatched look of handmade and collected ornaments (even if that meant decorating a second tree). In 1995, we romanticized the Christmas tree decorating process with a shift away from a perfectly curated look. Instead, we encouraged our readers to create a focal point for their home with a collection of sentimental, meaningful ornaments—regardless of if they matched or not. "Think of your tree as a painter's canvas, your ornaments as the oils. Then set the tone for the holidays as your decorated evergreen unfolds. For a masterpiece that's washed in memories, add a kaleidoscope of favorite ornaments—the ones you've lovingly gathered over the years."
At the end of the decade, a new column appeared on the pages of the magazine. For the first time, our BHG.com column directed readers to our recently launched website for a Christmas tree buying guide—something we still maintain to help modern-day readers choose the best live Christmas tree or pick the best artificial tree for their home.
2000s: Tree Decorating 101
The new century kicked off with a now oft-repeated, beloved-by-readers, must-have tutorial: Tree Decorating 101. In four pages, we offered shortcuts, tricks, and techniques used by our editors to achieve a magazine-worthy Christmas tree. Our step-by-step instructions walked readers through wrapping lights, draping garlands, and hanging ornaments strategically. Although not elaborate, these do-it-yourself guides showed readers how to recreate the looks displayed on our pages.
The dawn of a new century also marked the rise of the Internet age, and Americans embraced simplicity in holiday decor, with several reference to "simply decorated" trees featured in the pages of Better Homes & Gardens. This included traditional color schemes ("Green, red, and silver ornaments sparkle next to big, old-fashioned clear lights.") and unfussy ornaments with "a cozy, country look." In 2006, "the style is clean and simple—even at Christmas. The tree enchants with just a few types of trim." In yet another home, a family tree is "simply decorated with a few strands of lights, colored balls, crystals, and snowflakes."
One home, featured in 2009, seemed to herald the coming farmhouse decorating trend with its Christmas tree displayed in an old tub given to the homeowner by a farmer.

2010s: Jewel Tones and Instagram Looks
The 2010s brought about new ways to share interior design ideas: social media and blogs.
In December 2010, we featured a blogger's holiday home whose distinctive tree's creative shape, ("sticks collected from the yard 'literally just shoved into the tree,") became a trend of its own. Soon, those branches morphed into a resurgence of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. While not an exact replica of the 1965 cartoon, the tree inspired a more sparse design than the traditional holiday evergreen. Instead, the updated shape—which now appears on trees of all heights—incorporates space between branches and limbs of various lengths for a more natural look.
In December 2013, we even gave this holiday tree tip: "Thin out branches before decorating the tree. Ornaments and garland will drape beautifully." The growing popularity of the modern farmhouse aesthetic continued into the holidays with these more natural trees. Additionally, woodland creatures (squirrels, birds, hedgehogs, and more) and accessories such as pinecones, wood cutouts, and items plucked from the backyard became popular. In 2018, a "woodsy backdrop and white, black, and Army green palette" along with a faux sheepskin rug that served as a "plush tree skirt" embraced the look on the pages of the magazine.
In the mid-2010s, jewel tones also took off. In 2015, we featured a North Carolina home with "eye-popping decorations" and a tree described as "bright and bold." The homeowner said her approach to decor was simple: "Everything I do is colorful."
In 2017, one Christmas tree palette glittered like gemstones with hues of Amethyst, ruby, rose quartz, sapphire, and emerald. "A neutral backdrop [of white walls] means the scheme doesn't overwhelm. Strategic hits of black, metallics, and green in [the home's] everyday decor are grounding enough to make rainbow hues feel mature and sophisticated."
One final blogger-driven trend: trees throughout the house, including a kids' tree. These Christmas trees—from mini to full-sized—gave children an opportunity to decorate their own way and a place to display elementary art-class creations.

2020s: Maximalism and Grandmillenial Style
Today's Christmas tree trends take a page from the past, with the Charlie Brown tree silhouette and modern farmhouse aesthetic still popular. Flocked trees and jewel-tone decorations reminiscent of Christmases past also continue.
During the holiday seasons marked by pandemic isolation and loneliness, homeowners embraced maximalism. Leaning into the holiday season felt different, new, and celebratory from the endless days of sameness. In that vein, some homeowners incorporated a rich palette of plaids, others a collection of tied-on ribbons, and still others "theatrical roots and vintage finds to create a richly layered wonderland."
Grandmillenial style, a throwback aesthetic that nods to design elements of the past, is rekindling many beloved Christmas tree decorations of yesteryear, including Shiny Brites, flocked trees, and plenty of pink.

COOK: A GREAT OCCASION
Neil Weld
Boss looking forward to Bournemouth test
It used to be something that was not out of the ordinary for Pompey.
But now the visit of a Premier League side to Fratton Park is something to get excited about.
Bournemouth will make the short trip along the south coast this weekend for an Emirates FA Cup fourth round clash.
Eddie Howe's men currently sit 16th in the top flight table, having played fourth tier football as recently as 2010.
And Cook is excited that Pompey will be able to test themselves against such a strong outfit.
The Blues boss said: "It's a great occasion with a Premier League side visiting Fratton Park, which isn't a regular occurrence here these days.
"So it's a game that we're very much looking forward to and also one where we'll be trying our best to win.
"The reality is that we're playing against very strong opposition. If they turn up and play well then we're going to have our hands full.
"You look at the calibre of squads that top-flight teams carry and they can bring players into the side who are very good to say the least.
"We'll prepare as best as we can and hopefully it will be an entertaining spectacle between two sides who want to play football.
"If we can give a good account of ourselves and get the fans off their seats – like we did against Ipswich – then I'm sure they'll go home happy.
"It's another sell-out for us at a time of the year when money is a bit tight, so it just goes to show how the people of Portsmouth get behind this club."
Cook has delved into the loan market to bring in Kieron Freeman from Sheffield United, although the defender is cup-tied on Saturday.
He said: "Kieron's a bright, young player and our fans can be very excited by the fact that he's joined us.
"Ben Davies has possibly been our 'player of the season' so far, but if something happened to him we could find ourselves in a difficult situation.
"Great credit mist go to the club for backing me in bringing a player of his quality to Fratton Park."
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Michael Poke and utility man Rommy Boco have left Fratton Park by mutual consent and the club wish both of them well for the future.

Vudu is offering a copy of Mad Max: Fury Road in 4k UHD format with the purchase of a select VIZIO Reference Series Ultra HD TV. It isn't much, but UHD movies on Vudu are $30 a pop so customers may as well take advantage of the promotion. Mad Max: Fury Road in UHD also comes with HDR-specified video via Dolby Vision, and immersive audio with Dolby Atmos. Both formats require TVs and audio systems that support them, otherwise the HDR spec will be ignored and Dolby Atmos will simply downsample to the nearest audio format. The VIZIO Reference Series Ultra HD Full-Array Smart TVs are available in 120″ and 65″ classes, priced at $129,999 and $5,999, respectively. Vudu currently has over 30 titles mastered in 4k resolution, and all of them feature HDR with Dolby Vision. Most titles, but not all, are formatted with Dolby Atmos.

Q: System throws error builder cannot be resolved in the java program? System throws error builder cannot be resolved in the java program:- in the lines String result = builder.toString(); and  builder.append("abc");
   package newprojectstring;
   import java.lang.StringBuilder;
    public class MyOwnClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Loop and append values.
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

    MyOwnClass Builder = new MyOwnClass();

      builder.append("abc");
    }

    // Convert to string.

    String result = builder.toString();
    System.out.println(result);
}

}

A: When you write builder.append("abc");, java is going to look for the class represented by reference named builder which in this case is your custom class Stringbuilder. Then it will look for a method append with a String argument, which it won't find, because you haven't defined a method like that.
Now there is a predefined StringBuilder which is having a method named append. I think you are confused with it. If you want to call the append method of StringBuilder you have to make a reference of StringBuilder.
Stringbuilder builder = new Stringbuilder();
builder.append("abc");

A: First of all, never name your own classes with names similar to the names of the classes from the standard Java libraries. If you do this, you will always get tons of errors and everyone who reads your code will curse you.
Next, you want to use the standard StringBuilder from the java.lang package, but actually you try to use an instance of your own Stringbuilder class that does not contain append() method. StringBuilder and Stringbuilder are different things, from the Java's point of view. If you would not name your class Stringbuilder, you would see your mistake while you was writing it in your IDE.
Rewrite your code as follows:
public class MyOwnClass {       // *** Not 'Stringbuilder'!!!

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Create a new StringBuilder
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); // *** Not 'Stringbuilder' !!!

    // Loop and append values.
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {   // Use spaces properly
      builder.append("abc");
    }

    // Convert to string.
    String result = builder.toString();
    System.out.println(result);
  }

Stacko lets you generate a structured stacktrace in Go.

```go
type Frame struct {
  FileName     string
  FunctionName string
  PackageName  string
  Path         string
  LineNumber   int
  InDomain     bool
  PreContext   []string
  PostContext  []string
  Context      string
}
```

Most of the fields are self explanatory. `InDomain` is a boolean that tells you
if the frame is within the same package as the first call. The `Context` fields
are the actual lines of code that precede and proceed the context of the frame.
Please note that these context fields are only provided if the source code is
present in the local file system.

A federal district court issued a preliminary injunction on October 7 barring enforcement of a rule barring the use of pre-dispute arbitration agreements with patients in long-term care facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs. American Health Care Association v. Burwell (ND Miss 11/07/2016) [Opinion text].
The new rule [Rule text] by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services would have taken effect on November 28, 2016. It would have prohibited (1) entering into pre-dispute arbitration agreements, and (2) requiring signing an arbitration agreement as a condition of admission.
The court said the federal agency "is seeking to engage in a rather unprecedented exercise of agency power in this case."
CMS relied heavily upon the fact that the admissions process is "an extremely stressful time for the [prospective] resident and his or her family," but this court does not believe that it had much success in tying this stress, in a practical way, to negative health and safety effects impacting residents. For example, this court regards the notion that being asked to sign arbitration agreements during a stressful admissions process will cause residents to make incorrect health care decisions or that the agreements will reduce the flow of "information related to serious quality of care issues" as being quite speculative assertions which are unsupported by objective proof. It is also not clear to this court that, even if these effects were reliably proven, they would be considered sufficiently important to ban the practice of nursing home arbitration entirely.
As sympathetic as this court may be to the public policy considerations which motivated the Rule, it is unwilling to play a role in countenancing the incremental "creep" of federal agency authority beyond that envisioned by the U.S. Constitution.

Fire Emblem Fates sells 300,000 copies at launch!
Eric Jackson - Senior Writer
Nintendo has announced that Fire Emblem Fates has now sold over 300,000 units during its first week, which makes Fates the fastest-selling game in Fire Emblem franchise history. This sales number accounts for all versions of the game including Birthright, Conquest and the hard to find Collector's Edition.
Fire Emblem Fates has sold more than five times as many copies as Fire Emblem Awakening which released to much acclaim back in 2013. Nintendo reported that Birthright outsold it's more challenging counterpart Conquest but remember that you can pick up the opposite version to the one you're playing for $19.99 on the Nintendo eShop.
Fire Emblem Fates third act Revelation will be available on March 10th but is already available for those who were lucky enough to grab the physical Collector's Edition that includes all three games in one package.

WHEN talking about Human Capital (HC) in Saudi Arabia, there are numerous levels of functionality that need to be considered.
According to Korn Ferry's 2018 survey on Middle East Human Capital contribution, 54 percent of those surveyed fell under what the survey called level 3 strategic HR department, in which Human Capital is aligned with business strategy, supporting business needs and providing system integration.
This was followed by level 4 at 28 percent, which is called business integrated HC, which is a part of the business strategy and helps drive decisions through manpower building, data and insights collection. There is an advanced integration between business and HC systems.
Human Capital in Saudi Arabia is evidently working toward progressing from level 3 to level 4. With transformation plans and developing the manpower landscape, the focus today on developing business integrated Human Capital. It works toward building qualified work teams through training, development, engagement and enablement.
Employees who go through those four stages of professional development have a better chance of feeling committed to their organizations, demonstrate better understanding of their role in achieving business strategies and support the direction in which the organization is moving.
Similarly, leaders and decision makers in organizations see the potential of investing in the workforce, from providing training opportunities to enablement. Those leaders communicate the change to the qualified workforce and empower them to play a role in this change. This helps drive the organization forward to achieve its strategic objectives.
The move from level 3 to level 4 in HC contribution within organizations in Saudi Arabia means that we understand the value of investing in "humans" and turning them into "enablers" to drive organizations forward to achieve business objectives and help them define and shape the future of our economy.
The author is a specialist in change and transformation management.

If you prefer to buy books rather than borrowing them from your local library, then you obviously know that this is not an inexpensive hobby. But that way you do not have to worry about returning them on time to avoid the fines, waiting for weeks to finally get your hands on the hottest books at the moment and carry around heavy book bags when going to and from the library. In addition, it feels good to own a nice collection of books and have it displayed in your living room or perhaps even a home library. They give a home a special character and reveal your passion for the books. However, the times are rough and it is necessary to cut all non-urgent expenses to the minimum. Fortunately, there is a way to continue to enjoy book reading and expand your collection at a reduced cost - becoming a member of a book club.
Huge savings on books are most certainly the main benefit of a book club membership because just about all books are offered at a reduced price. By joining a book club, you usually oblige that you will periodically buy a book which, however, is not problematic if you continuously read something. In addition to a rich selection of books to choose from, a book club membership automatically provides you an access to a number of extra features such as the latest news in the world of books, book recommendations and reviews, special events you may be interested in, etc. depending on the chosen club.
Book club is a great idea, especially if you simply must have the latest best sellers because it enables you to get them at a discount. On the other hand, you accept certain obligations upon signing up to a book club and if you do not read the fine print very carefully, you can easily find yourself with books you have not ordered and of course get charged for them. In addition, some book clubs may require from you to buy a certain amount of books at regular price in order to become entitled to discount. Then, it is also necessary to pay attention to the shipping costs in order to avoid paying more for the books you would pay for them at the nearest bookstore. When you look at it this way, you probably are not sure whether it is a good idea to become a member of a book club in the first place. However, not all book clubs are the same and if you choose one carefully, you can save a great deal of money on expansion of your book collection.
Be sure to choose a book club which offers books that meet your reading preferences and take time to read the fine print. It is crucial to inform yourself very well before you sign anything, especially if you automatically become a member for a fixed period of time. To make sure that the book club you consider joining is really as great as it seems, it may be a good idea to browse the web for other people's experiences.

National Chapters
Born in Turin in 1935, he graduated in History of Art of India and Central Asia and archeaology, at the "La Sapienza" University, Rome, produced hundreds of Film, wrote 5 books, made several first high altitude climbs in Asia, participated in the creation of Mountain Wilderness….
A book would be necessary to render justice to Betto's many facets personality: he is a man of great culture, deeply humanistic, a mountaineer passionately environmentalist with a big heart and a strong head
He was an active child who discovered the mountain during his holidays in the Aosta valley where he made his first ascent with guide Laurent Grivel who taught him mountaineering as a mean to know oneself and nature.
He then quietly climbed many classic routes in the Mont-Blanc, Dolomites and Gran Sasso.
As a high altitude mountaineer and mountaineering instructor, he led the mountaineering school "Paolo Consiglio" of the Italian Alpine Club, Rome, for many years. He is a member of the Academic Alpine Club of Italy.
From the sixties to the eighties he organized eight mountaineering and discovery expeditions in the Himalayas and in the Hindu Kush, climbing several virgin peaks, among them the Saraghrar of 7350 m and the sharp pyramid of Baba Tangi.
During the summer of 1990 he led the famous ecological expedition FREE K2 freeing the second highest peak on the planet of tons of garbage and fixed ropes abandoned by previous expeditions.
In 2003 he led the mountaineering and humanitarian mission "OXUS – Mountains for Peace" organized by Mountain Wilderness. This initiative re-opened the upper Afghan Hindu Kush valleys for adventure activities.
Over the last few years he has organized and led six Environment-Friendly Mountaineering courses in India and Pakistan , and two similar courses in Afghanistan for young local people, both boys and girls.
Carlo Alberto is one of the founders of the Mountain Wilderness International, and has been its General Coordinator for 14 years. He is currently in charge of MW activities in Asia and isthe president of Mountain Wilderness Italy.
In 1986, during the bicentennial celebration of the first Mont Blanc ascent, Betto wrote in collaboration with the CAAI, the "Manifesto per il Monte Bianco", signed by many World famous climbers, a call for the protection of the entire range and requesting the creation of an international park.
In addition he was very active on various environmental National commissions and associations boards in Italy and got national recognition for his actions.
Betto's professional and cultural life is also very full: As an historian and archeologist he participated in archaeological campaigns in Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan led by Prof. Giuseppe Tucci and Prof. Salvatore Puglisi , he was assistant professor at the Department for History of Art of India at the "La Sapienza" University, Rome, cooperated with Prof. Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli on an Encyclopaedia of Ancient Art and gives lectures on Buddhist Gandhara. In 1978 the Salerno University, Department of Literature, granted him the academic title of Master in the subject of lecturing on Cultural Anthropology.
During his life Betto produced more than one hundred of documentaries and popular science movies dealing with adventure, travel, anthropology ecology and culture filmed all over the world, many of them for Italian and international television networks.
His film making involvements includes:

Want to see Mountain Nature better protected? This is what we are striving for
The term "mountain wilderness" refers to any untouched mountain environment where anyone who so wishes may come into direct contact with the wide-open spaces, experience solitude, silence, rhythms, natural dimensions, laws and dangers. The essential value of wilderness lies, above all, in its potential to stimulate an intense creative relationship between civilized man and the natural environment. It is the degree of authenticity of this connection that gives this adventure its deeper meaning
This definition comes from the Biella thesis (1987), a foundation manifesto written at the origin of Mountain Wilderness which still drives the actions of the association.
Mountain Wilderness International (MWI) is an umbrella organization that facilitates communications and exchanges between the country organizations or chapters of Mountain Wilderness, where most of the action occurs. It coordinates and organizes international actions and is the official representative of the association in all international contexts with Governments and Non Governmental Organizations. (More here)
Mountain Wilderness is active in nearly 20 countries.

Samsung addresses B2B with its completely new A4 color laser line-up
Offering complete A4 laser printing solutions for enterprises through technology convergence
By: Traccs Jordan
Samsung CLX-6260FR
July 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, announced its focus on the B2B sector with the introduction of a new full color laser printer line-up in Milan, Italy.
Samsung showcased its complete range of new A4 color laser printer/multi-function printer (MFP) and copier devices and innovative printing solutions, which were developed based on in-depth customer research to offer total technology convergence.
"We are proud to present our new color laser printing technologies, and through them, we are certain that we will offer added value to the B2B market," said Seongwoo Nam, Executive Vice President and Head of the IT Solutions Business at Samsung Electronics. "The printing business is our priority in 2012 in order to become a major player in the global B2B market within three years."
Samsung revealed its seven new A4 color laser series, which includes devices for small businesses (CLP-360, CLX-3300, CLP-415, CLX-4195 series) as well as large corporate enterprises (CLP-680, CLX-6260, CLX-8600 series) with printing speeds from 18 to 48ppm.
Samsung Printers has seen a great deal of success in recent years with its monochrome laser printers, which were awarded eight Buyers Lab 'Picks', 'Line of the Year,' and the 'Outstanding Achievement' award for its Easy Eco Driver as well as numerous compliments from globally recognized testing organizations.
World's First for Performance and Reliability
To ensure quality performance on complex jobs, the new A4 copiers - CLX-8640 and CLX-8650 - have been equipped with Samsung's latest 1GHz Dual Core CPU, offering up to 1.5 times faster processing than conventional 1GHz CPU devices for maximum productivity. Each device holds printing speeds of 38 and 48 ppm, respectively - the world's fastest A4 color laser printer currently available.
The new Samsung A4 copiers hold the world's first all-in-one board combining numerous boards into one single platform. It enables lower energy consumption and a decreased failure rate as complex parts have been simplified.
Exceptional Color Quality from Seg.1 to A4 Copiers
From the most compact color laser printer/MFP in Seg.1 (CLP-360 and CLX-3300) to the fastest A4 color copier in its class, with lower operation cost (CLX-8640 and CLX-8650), the new models are all equipped with Samsung's most advanced color printing technology. By applying Samsung's latest image processing technology 'Rendering Engine for Clean Pages (ReCP),' they now offer crisper and more vivid print and scan results. When printing, color edges and text/graphic clarity are amazingly enhanced. The new Polymerized toner delivers extremely sharp professional image qualities for maximum results.
Effective Cost Control with Award Winning Easy Eco Driver
As important as exceptional color quality and fast printing speeds is the cost aspect in the B2B business. Samsung's award winning Easy Eco Driver* enables enterprises to effectively manage printing options and save overall TCO by more than 10%, disabling unnecessary text, images or space prior to printing. The Eco-simulator within the driver allow customers to set up their preference and it shows how much toner, electricity and paper hase been saved in real-time, depending on the settings of the user.
In addition, the one touch Eco-button instantly activates previously set Eco-printing function.
Print From Any Device
Push your boundaries and free yourself from the fixed idea that there has to be a PC to print. Samsung Easy Mobile Print enables print and scan from any mobile devices with Samsung's network/wireless printers without operating a PC. Users are able to print images, PDFs, web-pages, office documents.
The Samsung MobilePrint application can be easily downloaded to the users' smartphone or tablet. The application supports Android, Windows and iOS smartphones.
Smart Business Solutions For Smarter Working Environment
Integrate your documents into a digital workflow for faster, cost-efficient processing and sharing. Samsung's SmarThruTM solution captures paper documents digitally for fast, accurate, electronic archiving, indexing and file searching. In addition, SmarThruTM simplifies information sharing across different departments through the direct application on fax, FTP, print, e-mail and Microsoft SharePoint. The solution allows reduction of costs by eliminating wasteful manual filing and searching.
Samsung SyncThruTM solution allows easy management of printers and other devices within a business, raising productivity through optimization of the printing environment – a true device management solution from job accounting control to hardware eco-settings not only from PCs but also from any mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Compact and Ergonomic Design
Heavy and clunky printers which eat up your office space? Through the convergence of technology and design, Samsung Printers are now more compact and lighter than existing competitive models, leaving maximum office space for other purposes.
The Samsung Design Team created a new compact design by separating the interface and storage zone of a printer, providing a cleaner compact look and ergonomic characteristics. Apart from the external aspects the user interface (UI) has also been renewed by implementing a 4.3-inch touch screen display.
Reliable and Credible
Samsung Electronics has been manufacturing industry-leading printers for more than 20 years. It enjoys close to 20% market share in laser printers, which are renowned for their quality, reliability and energy efficiency. Samsung Electronics is also the second largest laser-engine manufacturer in the world, and manufactures approximately 70% of printers in-house—a key factor behind the quality and market success of its laser printer portfolio.

BOOK CORNER: "READING GANDHI–Perspectives in the 21st Century … by Ranu Uniyal, Nazneen Khan and Raj Gaurav Verma
December 20, 2022 Uncategorizedbhagwat gita, bhikhu parekh, champaran, Gandhi, john thieme, kamlesh tripathi, mahatma, nazneen khan, neelam saran gour, non violence, rabindranath tagore, raj gaurav verma, ramayan, ranu uniyal, reading gandhi, satyagraha, shravan charity mission, three monkeysshravancharitymission
This treasure of essays is edited by Ranu Uniyal, Nazneen Khan and Raj Gaurav Verma. All are distinguished academicians. The trinity teaches English at Lucknow University. The book is a publication of Pencraft International published in 2022. The price of the book is Rupees 800. The spine of the book is less than 200 pages. Let me begin by saying that the book is too complex for an average reader. It is an assortment of fourteen articles written by renowned academicians. Perhaps their normal diction would also be complex for the average reader, I guess so. And I only wish the content was simpler and easy to read just like the simple persona of Gandhi.
Gandhi is a revered surname in the world. The subject book explores the relevance of M. K. Gandhi in contemporary times and also links it up with times to come. It covers the dispensation of justice, human rights, conflict and peace-building, along with his evergreen mechanism of non-violence and Satyagraha which were focal to him. The essays in this volume focus on inner strength, brotherhood and self-discipline. His persona becomes a rendezvous a nukkad for discourse in the post-colonial era. Practical ideas on food, dress and day-to-day living are included in this study so also his impact on world literature. His philosophical ideals and spiritual experiences reflect his views on truth, identity and nationhood. The book covers the impact of Gandhian thoughts on late capitalism, neo-colonialism and post-truth. It opens debates on many significant issues troubling mankind. Therefore, it will be of interest to scholars of postcolonial literature, gender and cultural studies. Simply put, the book coaches you on the Gandhian way of living and reacting in today's utopian and dystopian world.
The august trinity has edited some painstakingly written articles by historians, academicians and writers such as Bhikhu Parekh, John Thieme, Neelam Saran Gour, Pritish Acharya, Alok Kumar, Papia Sengupta, Hardeep Ranjitsinh Gohil, Neena Gupta Vij, Roopa Vijay and Meenakshi Vijay, Amrita Sharma, Suchitra Awasthi, Vishakha Sen, Fatima Sahrish and Raj Gaurav Verma. After reading the book I wondered if the learned authors had simplified the dhoti-clad half-naked fakir called Mahatma Gandhi or complicated him. The title of Mahatma was bestowed upon Gandhi by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. Mahatma is a simple soul as we all know. But being simple is not so simple, as it generates complexities for others, perhaps. Surely, this book is not for an average reader but more for academicians who already know Gandhi and it'll help them in further hair-splitting on his larger-than-life persona.
The narration gives a full-circle view of Mahatma Gandhi. It offers you the following: The title starts with an introduction by the trinity. Thereafter, the cynosure, Gandhi, is discussed in various articles and in various ways. There are several silhouettes of him. Then comes the juxtaposition of R.K. Narayan, Politics and Gandhi, and isn't it amusing when a child labels Gandhiji as a man who kept three monkeys and made salt, says the next article titled, 'On Gandhi.' Gandhiji became renowned because of the Champaran Satyagraha. He used to walk for 18 km a day which he did for many years. In the process, he may have walked more than 59000 km. Then comes, Truth, Ethics and Theory: Gandhi and the Heuristics of Living. A mental shortcut to living. These are all improbable-sounding words in today's context. Despite all our ideological compulsions why does it seem so difficult to disown Gandhi completely? Writing about Gandhi in the twenty-first century, to begin with requires a good amount of ground-clearing. There is so much muck in the air because of the language row in India. But Gandhi had his own thoughts on a Common Language for India. The Ramayan and the Bhagwat Gita were very dear to the Mahatma and he had done two Gujarati translations of the Bhagwat Gita which is mentioned in the article titled, 'The Purpose and Perfection: Two Gujarati Translations of Bhagwat Gita by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.' Mahatma Gandhi is seen as an exceptional force in world politics because he fought with a technologically superior imperial force without resorting to modern weaponry. Gandhi had a diet chart for every Indian in his book titled 'Gram Swaraj.' The article 'Gandhi and Food' says it all in its narration. What a personality Gandhi was. His dress code had the lusciousness of a fakir that became the national symbol and his sartorial flavour also had the insignia of Colonial Protest. On a true vibrant civilization and the real edifice of education Gandhi's book 'Hind Swaraj' still stands out.
There are so many descriptions of Gandhi by so many researchers in the book. The book is well-edited with a good flow of sentences. There is relevant day-to-day information about Gandhi in the narration for eg he used to write 700 words every day and used to walk 18 km a day. Since the book is a recent publication I would desist from being a spoiler so I won't reveal more. But yes unlike violence Gandhi's non-violence acted silently and slowly, and took its own time, but in the end, it delivered.
The book needs to be simplified for an average reader. The articles are well-researched and give you a plethora of facts about Gandhi that will entice you to read the book. There should have been a summary at the end of each chapter to simplify the deliberations. Who could imagine a 5ft 5 inches tall person weighing about 46.7 kg with a BMI of 17.1 kg—which means underweight will lead India to freedom from the fierce British Raj? But why should anyone read this book? Well if you want to know if Gandhi was responsible for the partition read this book. In the same manner, if you want to know more about Gandhi here is the book.

Maharishi Vashist was a renowned Mahatma. Many people from far of places used to come to him for help and guidance in education and spiritual knowledge. One day a visitor who had come to see him said, 'Maharishi I have heard a lot about your spiritual powers. I want to learn Brahma-gyan (complete-knowledge) from you, so kindly bless me with the knowledge.
On hearing this all the shisyas (pupils) who were present there started smiling sarcastically thinking it was not all that simple as they too were at the service of the Maharishi with the same objective for years now. Maharishi heard the request and peacefully said, 'sure! I will definitely pay attention to your request but for that you need to first do tapasya (intense meditation) for a year, and after completing that come to me. The Bhakt (disciple) turned visitor was extremely happy considering the spiritual knowledge that some people couldn't attain all their lives was now going to come to him in a year. And assimilating Maharishi's advice he left the place happily for his mission when all other pupils out there looked stunned.
After completion of a year the Bhakt came back to the ashram and along with other visitors he was waiting to meet the Maharishi. But while he was waiting one pupil who was carrying litter in a basket slipped and fell and the entire litter fell on him. This enraged the Bhakt and he bashed up the shishya for dirtying him. Later he met the Maharishi who then smiled and said, 'son you have failed in your first test.' Shunning violence is the first lesson of Brahma-gyan. Your entire tapasya has gone for a waste but I will still give you one more opportunity. Go and perform tapsya for one more year and then come back to me.'
The Bhakt was quite dejected. But obeying the command of the Maharishi was his duty so he left for the second round of tapsya for a year. After a year he returned again, but as ill luck would have it this time one servant by mistake poured dirty water that drenched and dirtied his clothes.
Although, the visitor remembered and regretted what he had done last time, he did not beat up the servant but he reprimanded him nice and proper. Later he met the Maharishi and complained about the servant and conveyed to him of the incompetence and indiscipline in the ashram.
Maharishi said, 'son again this time you have not succeeded in your exams, because to shun anger, should be the second biggest step towards your objective where you've failed. So again your tapasya has gone for a waste. But I will give you one last chance. Go back and perform your tapasya for another year.'
This time the Bhakt was filled with repentance and gloom and started doubting if he really required this Brahmya-gyan for the journey of his life. But since he didn't want to cross the Maharishi, he again set himself out for the tapasya and after a year he returned again. This time also by an unfortunate chance the dustbin of the kitchen in the ashram fell on him.
But, the surprising part this time was neither did the Bhakt get angry nor hassled on the contrary he cheerfully started helping the shishya who was carrying the dustbin to clean up the place; and he didn't even mention about it to the Maharishi. And some other pupil informed the Maharishi about this incident.
When the Maharishi met the Bhakt he smiled and said to him, 'all the three tests were taken at my behest. And I'm happy this time you've cleared your test and now you are heading towards your objective. Now you are away from anger, violence and hate. Your mind is filled with love, trust and kindness. My best wishes are with you.'
Upon hearing this the Bhakt fell on Maharishi's feet and offered his pranam and thereafter he very happily left; so happy that he didn't even enquire about Brahma-gyan. Rest of the shisyas were dazed at this behaviour of the Bhakt. They enquired from the Maharishi; the objective with which he came to the ashram was not even fulfilled so how could he leave before that.
Maharishi very politely said, 'any person who is peaceful about himself and the world and trusts his Guru completely and who has love for mankind need not run after Brahma-gyan. In fact Brahma-gyan will run after him. A righteous person gets knowledge and wisdom even from the best wishes of his Guru.
This story tells us how we can obtain Brahma-gyan without running after it.
SHORT STORY: IN LOVE WITH YOUR GURU

In ancient times there lived a Mahatma by the name of Maharishi Kanad. He had the absolute distinction of exponentially increasing the treasure base of Indian knowledge by scripting the Vaishesik Sutras. That determined the rights and the wrongs in a human life. In terms of discovering the absolute good, required for the betterment of man. He had many shishayas (pupils) that included both men and women, and they all owed, their esteem allegiance, to the Mahatma.
Among his shishayas there was a beautiful woman also. Who used to look after the Mahatma with all sincerity. But slowly. She started feeling as if she was falling in love with the man. But was unable to express her feelings in front him. Moreover, she was even scared that the Mahatma might suddenly shun her. If she expressed her feelings and that will also give an opportunity to other shishayas to make fun of her.
But, still, one day when she was alone with the Mahatma. She gathered guts and said, 'My dear Swami. I have started loving you from the bottom of my heart. I want to sacrifice everything of mine, just for my love, which is you. So, can you not accept me in life?'
The Guru was shocked at what the lady had just told him. Because of which, he went quiet. And the unexpected utterance of the lady, had even spread like a 'jungle fire' in the hermitage. Now, all the shishayas were eagerly waiting to know, what would be Mahatma's reply.
Guru smiled and said, 'I'm happy that you love me. But you should also know. That I love the entire world, and in that even you are included. And Devi (respected lady), you also should know, that all my shishayas love me. So, then what is so special about your love?'
The lady was now in dilemma, because she couldn't really figure out. How to convey what she actually wanted to. For she had all the hesitation in communicating her deep love to the Mahatama. Moreover, she was also cautious about the fact that so many unseen eyes and ears must be waiting for the much awaited answer from him. Mahatma waited for sometime and then said to her, 'When you say you love me, and you want to sacrifice everything for me. It also means, you want to control me. Which goes to show that you are not conversant with the real meaning of Guru. But since you are a devoted shishaya. I don't want you to be unhappy, so you can have my love. Tomorrow, when, I am alone in the cottage. You come to me.'
Upon, hearing these lovely words of acceptance. The lady was on top of the world. She came out of the cottage. Where, the rest of the female shishayas, were now jealous of her. As they too wanted to share her luck.
Next day after decking up when she felt no one is in Mahatama's cottage. She entered. But, rest of the shishayas were keeping a constant track of her. When they saw her entering the cottage. They quietly assembled to ascertain what was going on.
The lady could see that the Mahatma was in samadhi and all around him, there was a halo of light. In that he appeared like the bright Sun that excited her. She suddenly ran towards him in full enthusiasm trying to embrace him. But alas: What was that? She then saw, she was only embracing herself. When, suddenly, she felt the Mahatma was all over the sky. Where, she, just couldn't hold the sky nor could she embrace the sky. Even after trying from all the ends she could only experience, as if she was trying to catch hold of the endless sky. But all was in vain. And after a little while. She was tired and stood there wonder struck. She then heard a loud laughter in the cottage.
And that is when the Mahatma said, 'my dear shishaya. You forgot the basic essence of life. Guru is not a personal property of anyone. In fact he belongs to everyone. He is divine, who is everywhere, but not visible. He is the route to your destiny. But not your destiny or your kismet. Guru, makes you farsighted. So share me with everyone. And don't try to control me. Feel my wisdom and knowledge within you.
After hearing such divine sermons from the Mahatma. The lady who until some moments back, was dull and gloomy. Immediately, cheered up, and with her fellow shishayas started celebrating the occasion, and praising the Guru. Thereafter, slowly the Mahatama returned to his embodiment. When he too joined the celebrations.
This story is lifted from a mythological article. It conveys. Our relation with our Guru, which is quite different than our relations with others.
Today is Guru-punima. Therefore a tribute to every Guru.

In primitive times there was a Mahatma who lived in a village located on the banks of a river. Where, many villagers, from in and around and even far off places used to come to him for help and advice.
One day a moorkh (simpleton) from the nearby village came to the Mahatma and started weeping. And, upon Mahatma's enquiring about the cause he replied, 'Guruvar, people in my village are very bad, they always misbehave with me. So what should I do to protect myself from such rogues. Please advice to help me out.'
Mahatma consoled him and politely said, 'don't you worry and have confidence in God, for he will set everything right.' And upon hearing this, the moorkh was happy and soon he left for his home.
After a few months there were severe floods in the village when everyone started running helter-skelter to save themselves, but the moorkh was cool. He just climbed the roof of his house and started praying to God. And when the flood water started touching the roof a kind person spotted him and extended his hand to help him. But he refused to hold his hand and said, 'I don't trust you but I'm confident God will help me.'
In the meanwhile the flood waters had climbed further and reached up to his neck and seeing this, some people perched in a passing boat offered to help, by asking him to jump but he again refused and said, 'I only trust God.'
After sometime he started drowning, when some kind people finally rescued him. They helped him back to consciousness. But the moorkh instead of thanking them, went up to the Mahatma and started complaining, 'you had asked me to have faith in God, but this tip of yours nearly killed me, for he never came forward to help me.'
Mahatama smiled at him and sweetly said, 'Hey you simple soul, in response to your prayers only these people and the boat were sent to you, to save you. But you refused to take any help. Even then God almighty who wishes and desires everyones welfare, to save you, sent some kind people, otherwise by now you would have been dead.' But Mahatma was not finished as yet when he further sermonized, 'always remember in response to your earnest prayers God will not come and do your "karma" for you. He has given you brains and you need use it.'
This story is from Puran (Hindu holy script) and conveys a simple message–"God helps those who help themselves."

Q: Visual Studio Code PHP debugger doesn't stop on breakpoints while remote debugging I'm using vscode php debugger extension with homestead laravel.
The problem is when i try to debug remotely this debugger doesn't stop at the breakpoints i spent quite long time to resolve this error but unfortunately couldn't find any solution that can solve my problem..
Here is my enviroment
phpinfo() :

Homestead.yaml :

php.ini from homestead :

launch.json :

Basically i followed this configuration and some others also i tried xdebug.remote_connect_back=1 which i found from this community but it doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated  thank you for reading.
--------------------------Edited-------------------------
One more thing about my situation when i set the breakpoints as everything it stops on nowhere which i can't see where it is with this error.
Every stepping throws that kind of error

--------------------------Edited 2-------------------------
I figured why those such files are not found. The pathMappings in the launch.json it was 'code' not 'Code' since i changed it that file not found error was gone but still it's pretty weird it stops on the breakpoints only when exception occurs so still i can't debug
