stories of renovation, home decor inspiration & sprinkles of country life
Master Bathroom Final Reveal | Our Seaside Retreat
When we last left off, we were wrapping up minor touch-ups in here and building out a linen cabinet for extra storage. After a few weeks of pushing hard to get this all done, and waiting for our shower glass to arrive, I can finally say, welcome to our Master Bathroom. Here's a before and after:
The design of this bathroom went through a few stages before we landed on the best plan for our own personal style, which is basically living out our (my) dream to design a seaside escape. When we were younger, we thought we'd love to have a super luxe hotel bathroom, because who wouldn't want to feel like they were staying at a fancy spa in their own home? It's such a great design concept for a lot of people, but we decided it was too fancy for our personalities. Then we thought about a true shabby chic bathroom that had high-end amenities, and was super rustic and country. A few other design concepts followed that before we landed on our winner, which hit me after a day at the ocean.
I took a photo while at South Beach on Martha's Vineyard about two years ago when the fog started to settle in. We loved how we felt that day when that photo was taken. We were the only ones on the beach. Josh was in a beach chair, reading a book he bought in Vineyard Haven at A Bunch of Grapes bookstore (where Obama shops, no big deal). I came to the beach with full intention of doing the same, but my chair was empty the whole time because I, fully dressed, was chasing after the waves along the shore, getting my pants totally soaked. My book sat on my chair in my place, next to Josh, who would occasionally look up and laugh at my ridiculousness. It was the perfect late afternoon moment that I daydream about when I'm stressed. The memory instantly relaxes me.
The photo that was my inspiration for the design, unedited to show how serene everything was that afternoon.
I looked at the picture after I snapped it with my phone and loved the serene, peaceful colors. And it just hit me. This was how I wanted to design our bathroom. After being blocked for months on what direction we should take in here, I was suddenly flooded with ideas and a clear path for my design plan. I wanted us to feel like we were on vacation on the Cape or its islands while in our bathroom. And I wanted to use the color palette from that photo so it still felt natural and organic, and worked with our farmhouse aesthetic.
Shortly after we got home, I had this whole room design in my head. The soft, beachy tones that were only hints of color against a white foggy, New England backdrop: misty grays, warm driftwood and sand, and finally, the softest of blues that you could get a peak of when the waves curl over themselves before hitting the shore. Everything fell into place once I had this plan, and this is my favorite thing we've designed ... ever.
So, anyway, that's my little story about the design of this room, which I call East Coast/Farmhouse/Seaside Cottage. And with that, let's begin:
Our biggest priority was keeping it as open as possible because we added a huge element by bringing in a free-standing tub. It's a decent-sized bathroom, but adding another big piece definitely made it feel more closed in. So, the glass shower enclosure helped a lot in keeping it as airy as possible. That was our biggest priority. We almost did an entirely glass shower, but decided to keep the half-wall by the toilet because one, it is awfully convenient to have a place to hang a towel. And two, it allowed us some additional storage, which I'll get into later on.
The sink console is one I've had picked out for about 8 years (not even joking). I loved the open shelf at the bottom and the turned wood legs, which added a little softness to the design. And the carrara marble top is hard not to love, amiright? The best thing about it was, I didn't have to do much to it. No priming, no painting, no reconfiguring - I just swapped out the hardware (because I'm a sucker for nice hardware) to make it more custom, and it was done and ready to go.
The sink faucets were purchased separately from the console, and they're from my favorite website for faucets and other fixtures, Signature Hardware. I was originally going to use the same sinks we put in our guest bathroom, but decided that a more simple, plain metal cross style handle vs. the porcelain handle just worked better in here with the look we were going for. I also didn't want a super high goose-neck spout because those feel so formal, but I wanted something a little higher, and a little bit fancier. These faucets were a combination of everything on my list. I don't know why, but I love - love - picking out sink faucets. I could do it for a living. And confession: When Josh and I would pick out hotels to stay at on vacation, I would sometimes base our decision on places that had really cool bathrooms with the best faucets. I'm not proud of it, but it's true.
On the countertop of the sink console, I did some hydrangea stems and mixed different glass canisters for our cotton balls and Q-tips. While in Kennebunkport this past summer, I found this little wooden canoe decoration and I immediately knew it was perfect for our bathroom. I used it to hold my face masks and oils so that everything was accessible, but also neat and contained so everything didn't start to look cluttered. The little tiny whale catch-all dish was also a find from our travels this summer.
The mirrors are the same ones we used in our guest bathroom, just in a bigger size and a different finish. I was originally going to get oval-shaped mirrors, but once we hung these in our guest bath, I loved the shape of them. They felt industrial without being too harsh or too feminine, and the bigger size really filled up the wall space to reflect light.
We decided to do three sconces across the wall, and to me, they feel a little vintage and a little nautical but also still classic, without being too specific. I overthought this decision too much, and one day I gave Josh three options for sconces, and he picked these. So that was settled, and it was totally the right call.
The tub. It's a dream come true, you don't even know. I love taking baths, but I'm weird about taking them in a tub/shower combo. I always have to clean out the tub before using it as a bath, and it's a whole process which kind of takes away from the relaxation aspect of the experience. So having a separate tub is pretty much the best part of this whole room. Josh left this decision entirely up to me, and I went back and forth on the style so much. My original plan was a true clawfoot style, and then thought it was just too vintage for the look we were going for. Then I thought of a pedestal tub, but the ones I found online just seemed so overwhelming for the space, especially since this was going on a side wall, and not as the focal point of the whole room. Then I found this slipper style/pedestal combo, and it was perfect. The dip in the middle took away a little of the bulk I was worried about, and of course, we had to get the telephone faucet system to go with it.
On the wall behind the tub, we installed a hardwired heated towel rack, which isn't the prettiest thing to look at (by design, they're pretty robust), but I tried to seek out the one that hurt my eyes the least. We had found some other ones that had a better design, but they had poor reviews, and we were limited on options with our budget for this piece. Once we got it installed, I really loved it. Having a warm towel to curl up in after a nice long bath is so luxurious. And since it's not in a dominate part of the room, I barely notice that it's not my most favorite thing to look at.
The little ladder next to the tub is a find from the Country Living Fair this year. I wanted to add touches of farmhouse in here, and one of the elements I did that with was this guy. I wanted it to be worn, and well-loved, and I loved the step ladder design because it can hold a lot. I added a ribbed glass jar with hydrangeas (because one of our favorite things to do in Cape Cod, and especially Nantucket, is walk around and look at the abundant hydrangea bushes), so they really encourage me to take a step back and reminisce about our relaxing strolls around the cobblestone streets of Nantucket.
I originally planned on doing a wrap-around shelf that went around most of the room, specifically behind the tub. But once I planned it all out, I realized it would really close in the space a lot. So I decided to stick with one little shelf above the tub just to add some visual interest, and also, hold some bath products. I painted the shelf white, and purchased some reclaimed wood brackets online that had a driftwood tone to them. And it holds the photo I snapped on Martha's Vineyard, which was the inspiration for the whole room. I know it's not the most amazing or high-quality photo ever, but man do I feel so happy when I look at it, and remember that afternoon. I also added a little glass jar of seashells that we've collected during various ocean vacations, mostly from our favorite beaches on the Cape. It's just one additional detail that will allow me to zone out and only think of ocean waves while relaxing.
For the shower, like I mentioned in the last post, we wanted as much glass as possible. This was probably one of things that took us the longest to decide on because our shower shape required a custom job, which came with a lot of different price tags (most of which were out of our budget comfort zone). Because of the architecture of the room, we had to spend a little more than we thought, and we also had to compromise. We originally wanted a swing door with a hinge (as in, push/pull), but we couldn't due to load-bearing things being in the wrong places. We opted, then, for a sliding door (which pretty much looks the same), and then had custom cuts done for our glass pieces. The price hurt a little, but thankfully we didn't go too far out of our comfort zone, and we loved how it came out.
On the interior of the shower, Josh built me a shaving foot ledge because it just makes life so much easier. It also comes in handy for extra shampoo bottles and such. The shower head is also from Signature Hardware, and this thing is bigger than my own head, I kid you not. We wanted a big one, and when it arrived and we opened the box, we couldn't help but laugh. I still question if this thing is too big for the space, but honestly, it's super rainshower-y in here now, it's hard to not love it regardless of proportion. We've both used it prior to writing this, and reported back to each other that it was totally worth it.
One of my favorite little things in here is the secret little toilet-essentials closet. When I last left you, we were working on a sliding door to cover this area, and it may be my third favorite thing in here. Ladies, you know when you have your period, and you don't realize it until you're already sitting down, and you really need a tampon? This is my solution to that. We also keep extra toilet paper in here. I literally just turned to Josh one night and kind of jokingly said, "I need a secret tampon door near the toilet," and he said, "We can make that happen you know." And this is the result. We did a sliding door that we built ourselves and painted it white to blend in with the wall. The sliding hardware is from eBay.
I wanted some artwork above the toilet because that back wall is the first thing you see when you come in. I decided to have a photo I took of a lighthouse in Maine printed on wood planks to tie in with the other rustic accents. The other idea behind it was to also have a happy memory to look at while soaking in the tub, assuming I'd be facing that wall. That lighthouse was a side excursion Josh and I took while exploring Maine for the first time for our 5-year anniversary. It was out of our way to go, but we read online that it was the lighthouse they filmed Tom Hanks running up in Forrest Gump, and we just had to go. It was such an amazing area to see once we finally arrived, and we loved being there. I'm so happy I have this reminder of that up on our wall.
And finally, the linen cabinet is up and running. We had an excess amount of space at the end of the wall by our sink console, and we knew we needed to add some storage over there. I shopped around everywhere and couldn't quite find the perfect cabinet for the space because it was an odd size. So, guess what? We had to build one. And it really wasn't that bad (I swear). Josh built the cabinet and door so we could custom tailor it to our exact specifications, and make it a perfect fit in the space we needed it for. I went back and forth so much on whether to stain the door a driftwood finish to tie in with the shelf brackets and step ladder, or just paint it white. I decided to take the risk and do a stain on it. I mixed some Minwax stains together in Puritan Pine and Weathered Oak for the base layers and did a very light application of Classic Gray on top as the last layer for that driftwood-like tone. I topped it off with a matte poly finish, and added a handle pull from Etsy. Because it's me, I also added a wreath to it that I made from eucalyptus branches and little starfish. Whenever we stay at our cottage in the Cape, I love seeing windows with starfish in them, and it's just not something we can pull off in our farmhouse. But, in here, it totally worked.
And there you have it! Our big project for the year is done, and now we're off to the next. We're torn between starting to re-do our stairway or our downstairs pantry/half bath. But for now, we're just taking a little breather (and I'm taking a bath in our new tub) and enjoying our accomplishments.

Q: Does Cassandra write to a node(which is up) even if Consistency cannot be met? The below statement from Cassandra documentation is the reason for my doubt.
For example, if using a write consistency level of QUORUM with a replication factor of 3, Cassandra will replicate the write to all nodes in the cluster and wait for acknowledgement from two nodes. If the write fails on one of the nodes but succeeds on the other, Cassandra reports a failure to replicate the write on that node. However, the replicated write that succeeds on the other node is not automatically rolled back.
Ref : http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/dml/dml_atomicity_c.html
So does Cassandra write to a node(which is up) even if Consistency cannot be met ?

A: I got it. Cassandra will not even attempt to write if it knows that consistency cannot be met. If consistency CAN be met, but does not have enough replicas to satisfy replication factor, then Cassandra would write to currently available replicas and gives a success message. Later when the replica is up again, it will write to other replica.
For e.g. If Replication factor is 3 , 1 of 3 nodes are down, then if I write with a Consistency of 2, the write will succeed. But if Replication factor is 2 and 1 of 2 nodes are down , then if I write with a Consistency of 2, Cassandra will not even write to that single node which is available.
What is mentioned in the documentation is a case where while write was initiated when the consistency can be met. But in between, one node went down and couldn't complete the write, whereas write succeeded in other node. Since consistency cannot be met, client would get a failure message. The record which was written to a single node would be removed later during node repair or compaction.

A: Consistency in Cassandra can (is?) be defined at statement level. That means you specify on a particular query, what level of consistency you need.
This will imply that if the consistency level is not met, the statement above has not met consistency requirements.
There is no rollback in Cassandra. What you have in Cassandra is Eventual consistency. That means your statement might be a success in future if not immediately. When a replica node comes a live, the cluster (aka the Cassandra's fault tolerance) will take care of writing to the replica node.
So, if your statement is failed, it might be succeeded in future. This is in contrary to the RDBMS world, where an uncommitted transaction is rolled back as if nothing has happened.
Update:
 I stand corrected. Thanks Arun.
From:
http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/dml/dml_about_hh_c.html

During a write operation, when hinted handoff is enabled and consistency can be met, the coordinator stores a hint about dead replicas in the local system.hints table under either of these conditions:

So it's still not rollback. Nodes know the current cluster state and doesn't initiate the write if consistency cannot be met.

A: At driver level, you get an exception.
On the nodes that the write succeeded, the data is actually written and it is going to be eventually rolled back.
In a normal situation, you can consider that the data was not written to any of the nodes.
From the documentation:

If the write fails on one of the nodes but succeeds on the other,
  Cassandra reports a failure to replicate the write on that node.
  However, the replicated write that succeeds on the other node is not
  automatically rolled back.

On 3rd October 2014, ALFI released the first editions of two documents prepared by ALFI's AIFMD reporting working group.
The purpose of the second document is to provide guidance for the preparation of Luxembourg annual reports of regulated AIFs (mainly UCI Part II and SIFs) under the AIFMD. It focuses on the annual report to investors pursuant to article 20 of the AIFMD law as well as on periodic disclosure to investors.
ALFI's members are welcome to submit any question to the AIFMD reporting working group (contact: info@alfi.lu) that has not yet been answered in the different publications.
The European Fund and Asset management Association EFAMA reports that investment fund assets worldwide increased 5.2 percent during the second quarter to stand at EUR 25.65 trillion at end June 2014. In U.S. dollar terms, worldwide investment fund assets totaled US$ 35.03 trillion at end June 2014.
Long-term funds (all funds excluding money market funds) registered net inflows of EUR 301 billion, up from EUR 271 billion in the previous quarter. Worldwide bond funds enjoyed increased net inflows of EUR 112 billion, up from EUR 69 billion in the first quarter. In contrast equity funds experienced decreased net inflows of EUR 48 billion, down from EUR 92 billion in the previous quarter. Balanced funds also registered a rise in net sales to EUR 81 billion, compared to EUR 71 billion in the first quarter.
The CSSF informs that the current form « Application questionnaire for the set up of an undertaking for collective investment » on the web site is replaced for UCITS only from 1 September 2014 by a new "Application questionnaire to set up an UCITS" (in English only) to be used for submitting to the CSSF an application for approval to set-up an UCITS.
Similarly to the previous one, this application form aims at collecting the full information required by the CSSF to open and examine the file for approval of a new Luxembourg law UCITS. For all UCI other than UCITS, the current forms and procedures remain the same.
The bill of law n°6713 aiming at promoting the new VAT-free zone regime at Luxembourg's Findel airport has been submitted to the Luxembourg Parliament. The Bill aims to amend the Law of 12 February 1979 on the value added tax (the "VAT Law") and the Law of 17 December 2010 on excise duties applicable to certain categories of goods.
Amongst others, the bill provides that the rate of the VAT on the import, intra-Community acquisition and supply of works of art, antiques and collectors' items will be reduced from 15% to 6%. Organisers of sales by public auction will be allowed to benefit, upon option, from the profit margin VAT regime for the supply of second-hand goods, art works, collectors' items and antiques.
The Bill also provides that the supply of goods and services relating to certain transactions such as goods intended to be presented to customs and placed in temporary storage or goods intended to be placed in a free zone or in a free warehouse, covered by arrangements for temporary import with total exemption from import duty or by external transit arrangements, will now benefit from an exemption from VAT.
Similarly, the import of some goods which are intended, inter alia, to be placed in a free zone or in a free warehouse or to be placed under customs warehousing arrangements or inward processing arrangements, will benefit from an exemption from VAT as well.
LuxCSD's Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) issuance service for Luxembourg-domiciled entities and investment funds is now operational and accessible via luxcsd.com.
The Regulatory Oversight Committee (ROC) – a committee of global regulators – has endorsed LuxCSD as a pre-local operating unit (LOU) to issue LEIs. The ROC endorsement is a prerequisite for using Luxembourg LEIs for reporting financial transactions on an international level rather than just for domestic transactions. All EU counterparties entering into derivative trades are required to have an LEI to meet the reporting obligations under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
Following the publication of the common data format for pre-local operating units by the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) regulatory oversight committee, the regulatory oversight committee has now published further guidance setting out principles to guide interim decision-making until the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) takes over operational governance of the system.
Copies of the report on GLEIF, the report on GLEIS, additional guidance on portability and an endorsement note from the regulatory oversight committee are available.
Restrictive measures against Russia, including restrictions on Russia's access to EU capital markets were further strengthened on 8 September 2014 by the adoption of Council Regulation (EU) N°960/2014 and Council Decision 2014/659/CFSP. These texts enlarge the list of targeted entities and reinforce the provisions related to financial instruments. To view the Regulation and Decision as published in the Official Journal of the EU please click here.
The European Commission has published its report on the operation of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) and the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS).
The report recognises the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the three ESAs in contributing to restoring confidence in the financial sector and promoting the Single Rulebook. It also identifies a number of changes to improve the ESAs' functioning in the short-term and includes proposals for possible extensions of the ESAs' mandates on consumer/investor protection, the enforcement of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), shadow banking and the direct supervision of market infrastructures such as CCPs.
its call for further transparency of the Level 2 process.
No legislative changes are proposed for the immediate future. The report is being sent to the European Council and European Parliament for their consideration only.
On 23 July 2014, the Council of the EU adopted Directive 2014/91/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2009/65/EC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) as regards depositary functions, remuneration policies and sanctions ("UCITS V directive").
The UCITS V Directive was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 28 August 2014 and will enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Member States shall transpose the directive into national law by 18 March 2016.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published its 4th revision of the AIFMD reporting IT technical guidance.
Click here to access the documents as a zip file. The detailed changes can be found in the Excel work sheet titled "change history".
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published an update of its Q&A document on the application of the Alternative Investment Managers Directive. It clarifies the reporting obligations to national competent authorities as well as the delegation of portfolio and/or risk management.
EBA & ESMA released their joint guidelines for complaints-handling for securities and banking. The guidelines become applicable ("comply or explain") two months after the date of publication of their translations which was 25 August 2014.
The final guidelines and their translation can be found under this link.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued an opinion on the application of guidelines issued by the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR), the predecessor of ESMA, in relation to European money market funds (MMFs). The opinion is aimed at competent authorities to ensure a common supervisory culture and consistent supervisory practices.
The opinion focuses on application of the modifications to the CESR guidelines as set out in a report issued earlier this year by the Joint Committee of the three European Supervisory Authorities. This Joint Committee report set out the manner in which CESR guidelines were to be amended, in particular regarding the assessment of credit quality of money market instruments.
Read the ESMA opinion and the related press release.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published official translations of their guidelines on reporting obligations under Articles 3 and 24(1), (2) and (4) of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) (ESMA/2014/869). Publication triggers a period of two months within which competent authorities must notify ESMA of their compliance position.
The European Supervisory and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a consultation paper on future guidelines clarifying the definition of derivatives as financial instruments under the current Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID I).
The deadline to respond to the consultation is January 5, 2015.
The European Supervisory and Markets Authority (ESMA) has started a consultation on a series of implementing measures of the Regulations on EuSEF and EuVECA. The consultation focuses on the types of goods and services, methods of production for goods and services and financial support embodying a social objective, on conflicts of interest of EuSEF and EuVECA managers, on the methods for the measurement of the social impact and on the information that EuSEF managers should provide to investors.

On the occasion of the Luxembourg For Finance mission to Brazil, ALFI will organise a specific fund industry roadshow to Santiago de Chile on Friday 21st November 2014.
The future is Alternative !
The entry into force of the AIFM Directive has fundamentally changed the rules of the game for both European and non-EU alternative investment fund managers. And it will continue to do so for the years to come.
ALFI's two days European Alternative Investment Funds Conference is the ideal platform to bring yourself up-to-date with the most recent developments and trends in the alternative investment world.
The conference has developed substantially in the past few years and it is still growing strong: In 2013, the event attracted 600 participants, 35 exhibitors and 38 sponsors. At the time being, we have 35 exhibitors and 46 sponsors confirmed! Click here for the agreement forms with detailed information on all opportunities.
Boston and New York were the destinations of ALFI's recent US roadshow lead by Finance Minister Pierre Gramegna who informed the audience about the Government's priorities for the Luxembourg financial center. The speakers at the event included (small pictures, starting from left, clockwise) Michael Flynn, Directeur at Deloitte, Luxembourg, and Ellen Needham, Senior Managing Director at State Street Global Advisors, Boston, who debated about the future of product design and distribution, as well as Jacques Elvinger, Partner at Elvinger, Hoss & Prussen, Luxembourg, and Denise Voss, Conducting Officer at Franklin Templeton Investments, Luxembourg who talked about how new reporting and remuneration rules might impact the day-to-day business – and the wallet – of fund managers.
Visit our rspective picture galleries on Flickr to get an impression of our seminars in Boston and New York and of our cocktail reception at the Metropolitan Club in New York.
With an total of 700 registrations, ALFI's roadshow to Geneva and Zurich at the end of September can be considered a great success. The roundtable discussions focused on first practical experiences with AIFMD and on latest developments in the area of UCITS V and VI, while a series of workshops dealt with the structuring private funds / wealth management, trends in cross-border distribution under the Swiss perspective, corporate governance and risk management and the structuring non-traditional funds.
This year, the ALFI Global Distribution Conference on September 23-24, organised in co-operation with NICSA and HKIFA, the industry associations of the US and Hong Kong, was attended by around 800 delegates from 25 countries.

Dans le sillage de la crise financière de 2008 et la recherche des responsabilités dans son déclenchement au sein des acteurs économiques, la Commission européenne a entrepris de réformer une nouvelle fois la profession de l'audit en Europe.
Quels sont les enjeux de cette réforme ? Quelles en sont les principales dispositions ? Quelles sont les options que le Luxembourg envisage d'implémenter (ou non) ? Quelles seront les conséquences pour les entreprises ? Comment la supervision publique de la profession évoluera-t-elle ?
Ces thématiques seront présentées par deux orateurs de renom lors d'une conférence sur « La réforme de la profession de l'audit » organisée par le Conseil de l'Institut des Réviseurs d'Entreprises le 23 octobre 2014 à 16h00 à l'Hémicycle du Parlement Européen. Un panel de praticiens et de non praticiens suivra pour discuter des effets de cette réforme sur la profession de l'audit et sur l'économie en général.

Isn't it the sweetest game ever? Take on this deliciously sweet saga alone or play with friends to see who can get the highest score!
Candy Crush Saga is a sweet and charming puzzle game, which contains some relevant social information. Each player should match the different types of candies, and create a connection for them, then they will disappear. The whole game contains up to more than 200 levels to open a new candy adventure for every player.
The game is very simple and easy to play and to get started, but to achieve the master level still has a considerable difficulty. Because in the game you need to focus on how to move the different color of candies, and connect them together to achieve the purpose of disappearing.
Candy Crush Saga offers a variety of different game modes. The general model is the most representative one, which contains hundreds of different game levels. You need to pass all the levels in order to proceed to the next step. In any case, you could explore a mysterious journey in the world full of jelly, candy and other sweets.
The game is based on the theme of candy, the basic rule is eliminating candies that line in three to five. To get higher scores in the game, you need to put the same kind candies together and then detonating them, the effects will be different. The hurdles of game will be unlocked one by one, and every fifteen levels passed you could invite Facebook friends to unlock a longer trip. The first twenty hurdles will be unlocked directly, however, it need train tickets (sometimes the boat ticket, or airline ticket) after 35th levels.

Bankrupt currently has a high status notation- in an unusual twist bankrupt (today) seems to imply the ultimate risks were taken, a business was created, failure was the result of any number of things, and one may now join the ranks of iconic success stories for rebounding; after all bankrupt tends only to affect one's business aspects not one's personal assets so the ability to live through bankruptcy is allowed. In contrast being broke suggests stupidity, not understanding how to play the high stakes financial games, not borrowing effectively which translates to borrowing without penalty something that big businesses may be getting away with all the time, or simply "not savvy" – perhaps less than astute when it comes to knowing whom to "play" during the building process. Plus once one has attained a certain financial level then there are ways to "own" more than one company and to sell off, walk away from, or to bankrupt one of the businesses while still thriving through another. Now contrast these relatively comfortable situations with the image of a person on social assistance of any kind. Add to that person the stigma of living in a social housing unit. Big problem now to access financial advice let alone assistance in a meaningful way. Broke has only stigma attached to it- zero glamour, even less than zero expectations. But, say people, bootstrapping is still possible? Not without shoes!
Charles Dickens wrote of debtors' prisons because he had knowledge of the ways in which society affected individual opportunity. His writing is now considered part of "classic English literature" and to an extent relegated to the sidelines for the readers capable of enjoying his in depth descriptions and his very strong points of view. For many, his general story line is accepted as the story expressed via movies that have been created around his characters, Scrooge from a Christmas Carol representing "the terrible boss", Oliver in Oliver Twist, representing fairy tale dreams of rescue for orphaned children or any child wishing a different situation, Little Dorrit and "good character" winning over moneyed positions; these stereotypical characters were meant to share with real people some basic flaws in the social organization of Dickens' time. Real people being the readers, who could readily recognize both the exaggeration within the fictional character descriptions and the real "truth" the novels themselves were sharing about the big thematic issue of social evolution. In Dickens' times, debtors' prisons enclosed a society; today we have social housing which when truly examined offers little benefit over the debtors' prison of yore however people apparently strive to access social housing; newspapers would suggest that the line up to get into such "projects" is enormous. The debtors' prison Dickens portrays was a punishment and recognized for the soul crushing environment and the stigma it produced. Social housing however attempts to suggest it is a "leg up" and here I must question "for whom" as the statistics about current individuals "escaping" the social housing situation is limited if in existence at all.
These thoughts are with me today with the end of a school year arriving and many students not running off to luxury camps and marvellous trips and the expectation of "amazing" experiences. I also recently reviewed the book "Just Kids from the Bronx" an Oral History compiled by Arlene Alda, released this year, 2015. The author interviews over 60 successful and famous folk who originated in the Bronx, New York. In reading many of the stories what became clear was that many were children of recent immigrants, and accepted that within their mixed communities, the pressure to succeed, the dual emphasis on work and education, mixed with the knowledge that they were "broke" in comparison to other regions in the state such as Central Manhattan and its upper East or West side, and attaining a higher income and achieving a better lifestyle was not only doable but expected! The concept of "you can do it" was actually more "you must do it" – there were no big educational mantras as we have today discussing "mindsets", nor discussions of "Grit" versus "learned helplessness" instead there were visible options, hard work , a generous application of luck and steady if not always agreeable, goals to be crossed off and achieved. Yes this is a book about "success stories" but it is also a nostalgic look back at an area that had been "low economic" yet propelled many to other levels. Very different then from social projects of today which appear to suggest "stop complaining; you already have a roof over your head", and which enclose low income communities more to "protect" the wealthier neighbours than to provide a stepping stone for the working poor.
However as an educator what also stood out for me in the variety of stories were the "crucial wake up calls from teachers who recognized potential". Note the use of the word "crucial"; necessary today as then to be validated, to have others suggest that talent or desire to practice is a valid goal. Amazingly, the collection of stories is lauded as not only inspiring but "proof" that the "American dream" (success on one's own terms) remains achievable. Disclaimer- I had the pleasure of living in New York and genuinely agreeing with the song "if I can make it there, I can make it anywhere; New York, New York!" New York seemed to be alive with people, and in the middle eighties many of these people were literally in the streets, entertaining, busking, dancing, proclaiming, and it seemed, anticipating our appreciative discovery of them. Walking was a given, and one could expect that not only would the sidewalks be crowded, but also so would just about everywhere else! Yet one found private spaces, and began to revel in how much the city itself appeared to pulse, how energy encouraged energy, and how very much art, and appreciation of the arts was prevalent on every corner. For educators this IS important, and a close rereading of many of the narratives reminds that even with the educational structures that today are considered taboo such as streaming of students based on expected abilities, school and the place it played for many balanced the idea of work to survive with work that will allow one to thrive. Artists and scientists and business executives remind that it is not the grades of A's versus C's that could make one feel "inadequate" ; it is being ignored. I blogged elsewhere about recognizing the quiet ones in a classroom; we also need to recognize the one's who may appear to deliberately be craving attention and not dismiss them under today's current structure of labelling.
The stories of the Bronx do change over time, as did the area. What begins as recollections of "community space" slowly becomes like the above mentioned "contained" areas that social projects turn into. I was struck by the following sentences; "It has to do with what the horizon looks like. The horizon from the South Bronx was limited to an everyday survival worry about clothing and shelter…" (in contrast to) "It is one of the gifts of a place like Allen-Stevenson (a school)…that they not only educate you, but they open up limitless horizons for you. My course was changed and set from that moment in fourth grade when a teacher decided to take matters into his own hands." Wow! What an inspiring positive reaffirmation for Educators! To be reminded that being in the field can make a difference, and to recognize that sometimes little gestures make for opportunities.
A side note: Libraries, museums, free concerts, outdoor theatre, writing challenges, are also mentioned for their affirmative value in suggesting that creativity is to be enjoyed, and encouraged in various avenues. Summer in the city does offer "amazing experiences" however they might be of a more personal nature than the group camp experience or the community activity. And one needn't be in New York State to seek what is offered closer to home. Summer wishes: keep reading and writing!
and I had to laugh at what else I might find on food products that were in effect "signs of the times" and a reflection of marketing and what might appeal to shoppers as I considered a hands- on, end- of- school- year, project based learning inquiry.
Disclaimer: I eat potatoes in all their varieties, sweet, boiled, mashed, french fried, and often think about how basic some products were to regional cooking and to history- the potato famine being an actual World History event…Ireland's Great Famine of 1845 -1849. An educator could combine historical events, global trade today, and fashion in food marketing and then work these themes into both an out of classroom experience via a trip to a few different markets -formal grocery chains, farmer's markets, and if in the school budget a trip to a farm. The exercise could also incorporate a review of media and advertising looking at one or two specific products to recognize how fashionable (read "healthy") the products were viewed. In addition, Financial Literacy may be incorporated, when the pricing of the object is related to the marketing, the availabilty, and the perceived popularity of the product.
Commencement: It is a lovely word with the suggestion of more to come.

Q:  expected error when using a Search object what is the solution of this error
public static void main(String[]args){

  Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
  String KeySearch = in.nextLine();
  Search obj = new Search(KeySearch."list.txt");

      Search obj = new Search(KeySearch."list.txt");

A: I suspect you meant to use a comma instead of a period. A comma would separate two arguments, whereas what you have right now is not syntactically valid.

A: You might have meant to concatenate the KeySearch string with "line.txt", in which case you need to use + rather than a period. This can happen if you have your PHP hat on :)
Search obj = new Search(KeySearch + "list.txt");

Washington D.C. [USA], Mar 22 (ANI): Overturning longstanding US policy on the Golan Heights, US President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) stated that it is time for the United States to recognise Israel's sovereignty over the territory.
The statement comes just a few days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet Trump at the White House, according to CNN.
Israel formally annexed the territory in 1981 after capturing the region from Syria during the Six-Day War of 1967. The Israeli annexation has long been decried by the world community, who regard Golan Heights as occupied territory and Israeli settlements there as illegal as per international law.
"At a time when Iran seeks to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel, President Trump boldly recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Thank you, President Trump! @realDonaldTrump," Netanyahu tweeted in response.

Migos and Sean Paul Are Dropping New Music Soon
Mark Sagliocco/Gareth Cattermole, Getty Images (2)
Prepare to hear some intergenerational, cross-genre magic: Migos and Sean Paul have some new music coming out very soon. Paul's longtime collaborator Don Corleon broke the news about Paul's collab with the Atlanta rap trio with an Instagram post earlier this week.
The new track is titled, "Body," and it will be featured on Paul's forthcoming project. The "Bad and Boujee" performers shot the video for the song with the Dancehall legend just the other day. You can see clips and photos from the shoot below.
Sean Paul might not be as huge in 2017 as he was in the early 2000s, but folks should still put a little respect on his name. His collaborating with Migos probably means they did just that. Paul has always cared about the integrity of Dancehall, which he played a massive role in making as big as it became.
It's good to see Paul showing the Migos some love, because last year he let it be known he didn't exactly feel Drake's approach to the genre. "It is a sore point when people like Drake or Bieber or other artists come and do Dancehall-orientated music but don't credit where Dancehall came from and they don't necessarily understand it," Paul said in an interview with The Guardian.
He continued, "A lot of people get upset, they get sour. And I know artists back in Jamaica that don't like Major Lazer because they think they do the same thing that Drake and Kanye did–they take and take and don't credit."
There's no word on when "Body" will be released, but we can't wait to hear it for ourselves.

A "Latte" of Changes in Store for Starbucks
By Mike Caggeso, Money Morning • March 26, 2008
By Mike Caggeso
Howard Schultz, founder and chairman of Starbucks Corp. (SBUX), could use a good, stiff drink.
Starbucks has been announcing major shakeups that affect nearly every element of operations this year as it copes with sliding sales, greater competition, and soaring coffee bean prices.
Since Jan. 1, Starbucks has:
Ousted CEO Jim Donald and replaced him with Schultz, who previous held the job from 1987 to 2000.
Assembled a new senior management team.
Tested $1 coffees and free refills in its home market of Seattle.
Announced 100 underperforming stores in the United States would close.
Cut its net number of planned locations by 350.
Halted sale of hot breakfast sandwiches.
Struck a deal with AT&T to provide Starbucks Card holders free Wi-Fi.
Tested a $2.50 premium coffee in Seattle.
Temporarily closed its near 10,000 U.S. locations to retrain its 135,000 baristas.
Named Cliff Burrows president of U.S. operations.
Announced 600 job cuts in various U.S. locations.
"Change will not happen overnight. It will evolve over time, but I ensure you a positive change will occur," Schultz said in a statement in January.
The frenetic pace of changes for the coffee company might not be quite "overnight," but that's still a lot of changes for less than three months.
And yet, there is much more in store.
Last week at Starbucks' annual shareholders meeting, Schultz outlined major "back to basics" changes that are aimed at regaining the Seattle-based premium brewer's stranglehold on the market. Among them:
Begin selling a new everyday brew, Pike Place Roast [named after Starbucks' first location at Seattle's famous Pike Place Market].
Brew smaller batches of coffee to be served in 30 minutes or less.
Phase in a new espresso machine, the Mastrena, made by Thermoplan AG.
Buy Coffee Equipment Co., maker of the industry-favorite Clover single-cup commercial brewer, and introduce the machines to many U.S. locations.
Give Starbucks Card holders more benefits, including a free beverage when they buy a pound of coffee.
Launch www.mystarbucksidea.com, a social networking site.
"By embracing our heritage, returning to our core – all things coffee – and our relentless commitment to innovation, we will reignite the emotional connection we have with our customers and transform the Starbucks experience," Schultz said in a statement.
Nipping at the Giant's Heels
Not too long ago, Starbucks was setting up franchises seemingly everywhere at a caffeinated pace. Pop culture paid close attention to the rising coffee dynasty – with spoofs in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" and online satirical news site, The Onion, which joked that Starbucks was unveiling a new location in the restroom of an existing Starbucks.
But while Starbucks was riding its wave, a bevy of competitors were brewing plans to unseat the coffee king. Among them, Tim Hortons Inc. (THI), Mud Coffee, Caribou Coffee Co., Inc. (CBOU), Cosi, Inc. (COSI), Panera Bread Co. (PNRA), and Dunkin' Brands, Inc., whose Dunkin' Donuts chain is currently running a snarky commercial campaign that mocks the "Fritalian" language on Starbucks' menu offerings.
Also in that arena, the rise of egregiously caffeinated energy drinks supplanted a good portion of coffee drinkers – the ones that bypass the taste of coffee and just provide its intended head rush. In response, Starbucks is expanding its menu to include energy drinks.
So much for returning to "all things coffee."
However, its biggest competitor is fast-food kingpin McDonald's Corp. (MCD), whose recent facelift included an upgrade to premium blend coffee and iced coffees.
And more are coming, as beverages are one of three key areas of focus for 2008, McDonald's said in its 2007 Annual Report. After the company buys new beverage equipment and trains employees, customers can expect drinks such as smoothies, frappes and espressos using "McCafe Specialty Coffee" beans.
Rising Coffee Prices
Coffee prices have risen 23% in the past six months. In normal economic times, a coffee titan as big as Starbucks could blunt the pain.
But on top of that, the falling U.S. dollar means that coffee importers are getting fewer beans for their buck.
"There is nothing fundamentally that suggests coffee should be higher, but due to the volatility in the stock market, the prices have remained high because the dollar has been devaluating against other currencies," Jay Isais, coffee buyer for Los Angeles-based Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, told the San Jose Mercury News.
Mix that with penny-pinched U.S. consumers, and you have the recipe that's played a large part in Starbucks' stock tailspin from its Oct. 2006 high of near $38.
Important to note, however, Starbucks' stock troubles began well before the credit crunch began crippling budgets and rising food costs stung retailers.
And that makes it hard for John Langston, a senior analyst at Hodges Capital Management, to drink Schultz's Kool-Aid.
"I didn't really hear anything that blew my skirt up," he told Reuters.

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. read more.
And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. read more.
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. read more.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; read more.
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

Our more eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that I tend to write a lot of posts about sensory stimulation. Either that, or we feature sensory products and create amazing sensory tutorials etc.
Despite what you might think, I don't actually have shares in a UK sensory website! It all boils down to the fact that the DC team believes not enough is being said about how important sensory items are to those with neurological conditions. The even more worrying news is that despite lots of scientific research, plenty of care homes in the UK don't have a dedicated sensory room. In many establishments, patients on bedrest are left to stare at blank white walls, with little to no social interaction for hours on end.
I don't know about you, but in my mind, that amounts to mental torture as even those in prison have someone to talk to. It's disgusting that we even have to make that comparison because they've not done anything wrong, it's enforced solitary confinement and it should be made illegal at the earliest opportunity!
We all know that dementia can be slowed down by making sure individuals have someone to talk to, play games with and with whom to share their worries. A recent BBC news article revealed that daily ten-minute one-to-one conversations are incredibly beneficial. So why is it that the most vulnerable people in our society are being left with no physical/mental stimulation whatsoever? One argument could be resources, that care home staff just don't have the time/funds to shell out on expensive sensory equipment. Well, having just taken part in our DIY Sensory Shelf Challenge I'm going to call it for what it is: Codswallop.
The fact is that no matter what your budget is you can make an amazing sensory display for peanuts simply out of things you have at home. After all, a string of fairy lights, a soft fluffy toy, some plant cuttings and some smooth pebbles won't set you back much! Care homes could even ask the staff members to bring in an item each week, a bit like show and tell I suppose to create a fantastic weekly sensory display.
An alternative might be to establish a sensory "kitty" and budget for larger items like bubble lamps, fiddle cushions, dolls houses etc. However, good care / nursing homes don't need to be told this information and quite often sensory rooms/gardens are their pride and joy. The staff and residents alike love the peace and quiet, twinkly lights and fun textures that aim to encourage exploration and mental stimulation. Unless you're operating on the tiniest of shoestring budgets it should be entirely possible to buy lots of sensory items.
Another point people will probably make is that there's not enough training. Like in every other industry, you will find that there are good and bad care homes and attitudes extend right down to the lowest levels. A positive, engaging atmosphere and a staff who's willing to learn will embrace sensory theory far more than a venue with a negative outlook.
Again, it's about making sure that everyone understands the importance of sensory items and just how much they help fight the condition. All while encouraging residents to share any memories that they recall – even if it's just a certain sound or smell. It also goes without saying, that dementia training courses are vital for carers to understand how much of an impact the condition really has.
Our founder Emily, has herself has attended a Dementia Awareness Day where a team make you physically experience how dementia feels, and the sheer helplessness that comes with being unable to do anything yourself. It's not for the faint-hearted, and I'm still unsure if I myself would take part but Emily has and reports that several members of her group were in tears by the end. For those of you who'd like to hear more about her experience stay tuned as it'll be featured on the blog soon!
However, anyone who is looking after / working with someone with dementia should do their utmost to understand what it's like to walk in their shoes. Knowledge is power and having the right education makes the difference between a good dementia care nurse and a great one. We're not saying that all staff need to be specialists, but they should at least know what sensory is, and what items can help i.e flashing lights that encourage focus and mental acuity.
Another issue I've noticed is basic awareness because if you know you know, but if you don't I may as well be speaking Japanese right now. Over the last few years, we've moved away from the idea that sensory items are just for children, experts now believe that lights, scents, sounds and textures can help anyone whose suffered brain trauma or indeed has complex emotional issues.
For instance, our sense of smell and memory are so intricately linked that the smell of freshly cut grass immediately transports me back to my primary school playing field! It's the same with sound, a certain tune can bring back long forgotten memories and rhymes will help people retain information easier than just plain sentences.
Lights aren't just pretty, they stimulate the brain to work out where the flashing is coming from and focus our attention much quicker than someone calling our name. Put all these things together and you have an incredible super sensory kit that can help someone even in the most advanced stages of dementia!
If your loved one is in a care / nursing home without sensory items, or even worse is on bedrest with little interaction then please do the following: Either speak to the staff about creating a mini sensory space just for them, or take plenty of items with you when you visit!


On behalf of the Party and State leaders, Politburo member Pham Minh Chinh shared the difficulties with the Party committees, local officials and people in the districts, while praising the practical works and the support from the people in Thanh Hoa, as well as the business community and benefactors. He highly appreciated the direction, management, response and overcoming of the consequences of floods of the Party committee and the provincial authorities. The politburo member asked Thanh Hoa province to focus on human and material resources in order to re-open the roads on National Highway 15C in the shortest possible time. Muong Lat and Quan Hoa districts were called on to study the land fund for households who have lost their houses, as well as setting up projects on safe, stable and long-term living for households who are living along rivers, streams and flood-prone areas, building Trung Son Primary School and troubleshooting the damaged suspension bridge. On the occasion, the leader also visited and presented gifts to local people in Poong village, Tam Chung commune.
