The Graduation Ceremony for the Universidad Europea de Valencia class of 2015-2016 was held on June 24. Over 300 students from the Career and Technical Studies, Degree, Dual Degree and Graduate Degrees programs of the different academic departments emotionally received their scholarships under the watchful eyes of Faculty members and more than 2,000 guests, including friends and family. Universidad Europea de Valencia Rector, Juan Morote, chaired the event that was sponsored by Carlos Bertomeu, CEO of Air Nostrum.
A spectacular stage created especially in hall 5 at the Valencia Trade Fair Center was the setting chosen for a Ceremony during which, before the scholarships were presented, seven professors from Universidad Europea de Valencia received the medals that accredit them as new Doctors. Additionally, five teaching staff members and five students received a Special Mention.
Furthermore, two students, one a Graduate Degree student and the other a Doctor's Degree student, were entrusted with giving speeches on behalf of all their classmates. The Ceremony ended with the Chairwoman of the Universidad Europea de Valencia Student Government and Rector Juan Morote reading the Universidad Europea Commitment.


Closely following a handful of Senate bills that would amend the Political Reform Act of 1974, numerous Assembly bills were passed late last week which would revise election laws as well. Included among them was AB 1090 and AB 552 sponsored by Assemblyman Paul Fong (D-Cupertino) and ABs 914 and 800 sponsored by Richard Gordon (D-Menlo Park).
Fong's bills would expand California's Fair Political Practices Commission's (FPPC) ability to prosecute unlawful election activity. Specifically, AB 1090 would increase potential penalties associated with conflict of interest contracting and allow the commission to prosecute the alleged in superior court. AB 552 takes it another step, allowing the FPPC to collect on unpaid fines and penalties.
In a release, Fong asserted AB 552's necessity, stating, "It is essential that the FPPC has the necessary tools & resources to enforce the law and the authority to uphold the intent of the Act." Both bills passed the Assembly with some Republican support, 58-13 and 55-19, respectively.
Additional amendments to the Political Reform Act of 1974, AB 914 and AB 800, moved into the Senate rules committee Monday. Of Asm. Gordon's two ethics reforms, AB 914 would institute disclosure regulations for 501(c) nonprofit organizations spending in excess of $50,000 in a given year.
The Small Business Action Committee PAC was subject to a FPPC investigation following the 2012 election.
The FPPC endorsed the four bills at a special meeting in April voting unanimously to sponsor ABs 1090, 552, and 914, while supporting AB 800. The FPPC was established by Proposition 9, also called the Political Reform Act, passed by a majority of voters in 1974.

Genuine happiness is a deep sense of fulfillment that arises from an exceptionally healthy mind. This happiness gives us the inner resources to deal with the negative thoughts and emotions that cause suffering.
Groundbreaking scientific research over the past 20 years shows that the inner training of the mind can profoundly change the way we are.
During this retreat, in addition to presenting the theory and practice of meditation, Rinpoche will teach on the beautiful text titled "The Seven Points of Mind Training." This text has been used for centuries as a tool, in a most straightforward way, to help us cut through our habitual, dualistic grasping and self-centeredness. The teachings lead us to realize the essential nature of our mind and genuine altruism. In essence, the central theme of the text emphasizes how to meet ordinary situations of life, under whatever circumstances, with greater intelligence and compassion.
This retreat is a rare opportunity to step out of the busyness of daily life and enter an environment dedicated toward awakening the mind and opening the heart.
Don't miss this rare and precious opportunity!
Venerable Tulku Jigme Rinpoche is a reincarnated Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher who serves as the spiritual director and co-founder of Palmo Center for Peace & Education and Eugene Sakya Center. He has been traveling and teaching in North America and Europe for more than 10 years and more recently hosted the historic visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Eugene, Oregon. With a unique blend of eastern and western perspectives, he teaches with clarity, insight and humor relevant to the western mind.

SOLAR LAMP DISTRIBUTION
Muthoot Group sponsored an undertaking by college students in Delhi to provide solar powered lamps to street vendors as an alternative to the gas powered lamps or generator powered bulbs. There are over 200,000 hawkers in the Delhi/NCR area. Many of them have to shell out between Rs.1200 – Rs.1800 for renting light bulbs or gas lamps from local vendors. This amount isn't always feasible for the hawkers. That's why The Muthoot Group sponsored an initiative which gave street hawkers a solar powered lamp for their businesses for only Rs. 500. Thus making this greener alternative economically viable for them.
CLEAN CITY-GREEN CITY MARATHON ROAD SHOW
As cities become over-crowded, the infrastructure and other facilities provided by the State and Municipal Corporations become inadequate to handle the load. One such area where public co-operation is required is in efficient waste disposal and maintenance of a clean environment. The benefits of a green and clean city are better health, environment and quality of life for all its citizens. The Muthoot Group in association with Kochi Municipal Corporation organized a 'Clean City- Green City' Marathon to promote and educate the youth and other members of the public about the health hazards of ineffective waste management and techniques of effective waste disposal.
Pesticide free, clean and fresh vegetables have become a rare commodity. People are suffering from various diseases due to the consumption of contaminated, pesticide infected vegetables .In order to create awareness on this great danger that is affecting our society and to motivate people to develop vegetable garden in their own homes, Muthoot Finance, in association with Malayala Manorama organized seminars named " Ente Adukalathottam"(My kitchen garden) at Trivandrum, Kochi and Calicut. These informative seminars anchored by Professors from Agricultural University, were well attended by the public. Apart from literature on kitchen gardens, good quality vegetable seeds were also distributed at these seminars Muthoot Group participated in the Clean City Green City Marathon at Kochi.
Following were the objectives of Kochi Mini Marathon:-
• To create awareness to all the youth of Kochi on the concept "Clean City, Green City".

Q: What is the Best Windows Development OS I am building a DEV image and am currently planning to use Windows XP Pro x64 as my O/S. Is there any reason to use a Server O/S as a development operating system or is XP the best choice right now?

A: I believe the answer is "No". I think you should be fine with any of the later Windows operating systems (XP on up).

A: XP only allows you to host one web site in IIS. Very annoying. I'd recommend windows server 2003, 2008 or windows 7.
Its good to use a server edition as its closer to your live environment. Its good to use 2008/Win7/Vista as they have IIS7. Its good to use Win7 as its better than the others as an OS.
The workstation operating systems (XP, Vista, Win7) have hard-coded limits on simultaneous threads/connections which mean you can't load test properly locally. This is less a problem on IIS7 boxes as they queue requests rather than failing them.
64 bit OSes can be a little quirky - e.g. I couldn't edit my hosts file with notepad as its stored in a 32 bit directory and notepad is 64bit. I had to google and find a guide to fix this bug. Other issues may arise if you go 64bit, but the increased memory capability is attractive.
You should be able to decide based on these factors.

A: Don't use a server OS for development. I'm using either Vista x64 or Windows 7 RC x64 (which is the best, in my opinion).
EDIT
With Windows 7, you get multiple sites allowed in IIS, better performance, and a more productive user interface (the 32-bit versions would do just as well, but I haven't found a good reason not to use x64 if your processor supports it).

A: Vista 64-bit is probably your best choice at the moment.
Heres a question regarding XP vs Vista and another regarding 64-bit OS on developer machines.

A: I would use either Vista 64 bit or Windows 7 RC 64 bit. I would use these over XP 64 bit because it seems to be easier to find compatible drivers.
I have been trying both and have had no problems with either developing with Visual Studio 2008.
When testing I use VMWare Workstation, and the extra RAM usable by 64 bit versions (I have 8GB) really makes a difference when running mutiple virtual machines.

A: Okay, here are my choices and reasons for the development system I use:

*

*Windows XP Professional (x86) - because most of my users have that, and so I need to be 100% certain that my software will run on their environment.  Plus, Windows 2008 Server is slow in comparison.

*Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - other editions only work on the Server edition so I'm kind of limited to that.

*Visual Studio 2008 Professional (x86) - because as I stated previously there's no x64 version (yet) and even if there were, most of my users are using 32 bit O/S's so there's always the worry that your 64 bit tested code may not run in a 32 bit environment - despite what the API vendor may claim.

I program in C#/VB so the single web server limitation isn't an issue for me.  However, if your development environment doesn't have its own built in web server tools, then this could be an issue for you and consequently you will require either something other than IIS to host your site development or you will need a server version of your O/S (on the plus side though, this means you can use the full SQL Server instead of the developer edition).  Also, as someone else pointed out - the workstation editions of Windows are artificially limited in some ways that may be unacceptable to you, if this is the case, you would also need to consider a server edition.
The advantage of taking XP/Vista/7 though are the added performance you will gain.  They're much more responsive from a user perspective and you won't be frustrated sitting around waiting for code to compile and run.
In my opinion the virtualization that everyone is raving about is a ridiculous waste of resources.  At the end of the day, you've still got the same amount of cores and they're still sharing time slices between application threads, regardless of how many virtual machines you are running.  You're limited by the same hardware shared across multiple environments.  The key advantage of virtualization is that you can try out other environments without risking your primary environment by running untested software builds.  It's not going to buy you any noticable performance gain as is often suggested.

A: I use Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V. This means I don't need a "dev" environment separate from my local box.  We still use a test environment for integration issues and a production environment.  There is no NEED to work in a non-server environment.
I think this is a preference.  If you are working on a server application... Do you prefer to develop in the environment you will deploy to?  If you are working on a desktop application then I would recommend you develop on the platform it will popularly be deployed to.

A: Use the Windows 7 RC. I know Vista sucked, but 7 is going to be the dominant operating system once it comes out. It is much better than most people though it was going to be (myself included).

A: Are you asking if you should be running Windows Server on your development machine?  If so, the answer is:
No, no you shouldn't.

Woman Found Out Her Fiancé Was Cheating After Seeing Him On Russian Version Of Google Maps
Elsewhere on the internet
By Jill PantozziFeb 21st, 2013, 2:45 pm
Google street view has caught some interesting things in the past but perhaps none so useful as this. A woman from Russia discovered her fiancé had been cheating on her after looking up an address on an online map and finding his image with another woman.
Technology has been used to catch cheaters before but wow. I'm not sure what the odds are on this, they must be pretty wild. Marina Voinova told LifeNews.ru she was looking up an address in Yandex Maps, a service similar to Google Maps in Russia, when she spotted someone familiar. Her fiancé. And another woman. In an embrace.
When Google cameras catch people in their street view cameras they blur out the faces but that's not the case with Yandex. Although it might not be the best resolution, Voinova said she was sure it was her fiancé when she noticed the cast on his arm from when he broke his hand that summer. It didn't stop there, of course.
"When Sasha came home, I immediately called him to computer and asked him to find that address in the map," she said. "When the image loaded, Sasha's face changed in color. I looked in his eyes, waiting for explanations."
Sasha confessed but said he did not love the other woman but as you can imagine, Voinova was already intending to break up with him. She said, "At first I regretted searching for that address on Internet, but eventually realized that it was silly to blame the Web for my boyfriend's unfaithfulness."
Is this a crazy story or what?

The Best Things To Do in Venice at Night: "Date Night" With the Doge
Searching for the best things to do in Venice at night? The Doge's Palace provides the inspiration behind an enthralling evening.
A view from the Bridge of Sighs.
Venice is a supremely romantic city. It's only fitting that an evening here is spent on a date night, and during our visit we certainly needed one! As we rolled into town on the afternoon train, ending a long voyage from Ljubljana that included a mountain trolley and walking over the border to Italy, we were ready for a change of pace. We needed to shake up our travel routine and find the best things to do in Venice at night.
In Venice, both romance and logistics are all over the map and, unsurprisingly, we had a few extra ups and downs as we were visiting the city mostly at night. We did some things right (like splurging on Wi-Fi so we'd never get lost) and we did some things wrong (no comment!), and then there were some mixed moments (like choosing a vaporetto over a gondola) but our best decision of all was to spend our date night not exclusively with each other, but instead with the Doge.
Exactly who is the Doge? Why, only the most important person in all of Venice -or, at least he was several hundred years ago. Dozens of Doges have left an indelible mark on the city since 728 A.D. and it seemed only fitting that their collective, compelling spirit accompany us for an intimate evening in the city. If you're wondering what to do in Venice at night, please follow in our footsteps!

Who doesn't like a sweet treat when they travel?
I've said it a hundred times: The great thing about travel is how you're always learning. But today I'm not talking about learning history or geography or languages. Nope, I've been schooled in a whole new way and it changes EVERYTHING!
It all started with my friend Andrea, who blogs at WanderingiPhone. She's an all round lovely gal who appreciates a savvy bargain as much as the next person. Andrea was telling me about an amazing trip she took to South Africa, "hacking" her points to get free layovers and stopovers in Ethiopia, Israel, and Poland along the way (much like we did in 2013 - seriously, we flew around the world for $350.)
And then Andrea told me that Ethiopian Airlines gave her a free night's accommodation at a Hilton in Addis Ababa, plus meal vouchers and ground transportation. Uh, WHAT?!?!

early noir with amnesia angle
8 May 2005 | by goblinhairedguy – See all my reviews
Paramount's "Street of Chance" is an early, and certainly not full-fledged, entry in the film noir canon. It qualifies mainly for being based on a work by that master of paranoia and cruel fate, Cornell Woolrich -- using the familiar amnesia premise to trigger the protagonist's alienation -- and by its oppressively moody low-key lighting. The first few reels offer a true noir milieu of urban angst and displacement -- the hero, injured by falling construction material, discovers a year-long lapse in his life -- and worse, he's suspected of murder and has a completely unremembered lover in addition to his puzzled wife. As the film progresses and he narrows in on the truth, it resolves itself into something closer to Gothic melodrama, with a more traditional view of human transgression and frailty. The blending of the two genres is reminiscent of the studio's "Among the Living" from the previous year rather than the out-and-out noirs "This Gun For Hire" and "The Glass Key" of its own release year.
Paramount's B-picture unit offered a higher degree of professionalism than most, reflected by the fine level of performance and technical achievement here. Burgess Meredith's lead character is far too benign to be a true Woolrichian anti-hero, but Claire Trevor shows underlying tinges of femme-fatalité which would serve her well later in her career. Lower-rank director Jack Hively contributes a few visual cachets, particularly the unexpected discovery of a pivotal character lurking in the background, and an over-the-transom tracking shot to end the picture that is almost Antonioniesque. Unfortunately, he doesn't milk the character conflict for much intensity, and the denouement is disappointingly soft.

How the European Union was stymied by phishing
Justin Lynch
Chinese government hackers using basic phishing methods were able to infiltrate the European Union's communication network, possibly for years, according to a Dec. 19 report by Area 1. (Pavel Golovkin/AP)
The tactics were "unremarkable" but the results were extraordinary.
Chinese government hackers using basic phishing methods were able to infiltrate the European Union's communication network, possibly for years, according to a Dec. 19 report by Area 1, a cybersecurity firm that specializes in anti-phishing activity.
Information about the alleged hack come as the European Union and other organizations have warned about the danger of spearphishing tactics.
The cyberattack was part of a broader hacking campaign by the Chinese government against the United Nations and the AFL-CIO, one of the United States' largest unions, according to the firm.
"Very little about cyberattacks is cutting-edge computer science," the report said, concluding that "there is a high level of creativity in the diverse phishing lures used to gain access," to a victims network.
An email to the Chinese embassy in Washington D.C. was not returned.
The New York Times first reported on Area 1's findings, and the cybersecurity firm provided the newspaper with over 1,000 stolen cables from the European Union, which raised concern of experts.
According to a timeline laid out by the firm, the hackers used a simple plan to hack into governments, trade unions and think tanks.
Initial access was first gained through phishing attacks against network administrators and other senior staff members to steal their usernames and passwords.
Phishing attacks are among the most popular methods of entry for hackers and account for 41 percent of all digital fraud cases, according to an August report from the cybersecurity company RSA.
The European Union has advocated for the use of machine learning to prevent phishing attempts, a tactic the group's leaders said they expect to rise in popularity in the coming years.
"More than 80% of cyber attacks and over 70% of those from nation states are initiated by exploiting humans rather than computer or network security flaws," according to a fact sheet the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. A DARPA project experiments with using automated learning to warn users of phishing attempts.
"The fundamental weakness of cyber systems are humans," the project's description read.
In the case of the Chinese government, armed with the stolen credentials via phishing, the hackers created a backdoor inside the system to help the attacker map the network architecture.
"Once initial access to a machine is established, the attacker determines what other machines can be connected to, what data is available on those machines, and then rinses and repeats," the report said.
When files were ready to be removed from the network they were sent to commercial could services such as Google Drive using publicly available tools. Google Drive was just one of the publicly available services that the hackers utilized during the breach, Area 1 said.

4Uth Award
4Uth 2018 winners
Rushcliffe winner: Roshan Singh
Roshan is 13 and lives in Ruddington. He has been nominated for the award by Patrick Manning, youth worker from West Bridgford Young People's Centre. Patrick has nominated Roshan because of the way in which he has developed and matured over the last year to make a valued and constructive contribution as a member of the young people's centre.
Patrick explains, "Over the past year, Roshan and I have developed a positive working relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and understanding. However, this wasn't necessarily the case straight away, as Roshan could at times find himself in the centre of disagreements amongst his peer groups and with others at the young people's centre.
"However, Roshan has proven himself to be a good listener and fast learner when it comes to the expectations of the youth club, and he is now a key helper and good example to some of the other attendees. "
Roshan lives at home with mum Jay. Reacting to news of his award win, proud mum Jay said:
" When I was told he had been nominated, it was quite a surprise considering we hadn't lived in Nottingham for very long however now being told he's actually won, I'm so very proud of him. As any proud Mum, all children have their 'moments' but these achievements make them worth it."
Patrick added: " When called upon Roshan is keen to assist in the running of parts of the session such as helping set up the coffee bar, and helping new members complete membership forms. Last Summer Roshan had entered himself into our 5-a-side football tournament, but was let down by his teams mates on the day who failed to turn up. Roshan didn't let this deter him from participating to his full potential and having a good time, as he agreed to join another team who were short of players.
"Over the past year I have been impressed with how Roshan is maturing into a good mannered and kind natured young person, and I know that, whenever needed, he can be relied on to help others. "
Councillor Tracey Taylor, Vice-Chairman of the Children and Young People's Committee, at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: " Roshan has become an extremely valued and well regarded member of his young people's centre and he has been rightly recognised for his achievements by winning the Rushcliffe district title of this year's 4Uth awards.

Josh Seides is a freshman at Harvard University, nonprofit founder of Technocademy and contributor to Entepreneur, Yahoo and Fast Company.
Facebook, Google, Yahoo — the pillars of the social revolution were all started by college students in their dorms. This was 10, 20 years ago. In the past decade, the proliferation of youth-centric startups prevails — and even flourishes. A constantly increasing 54 percent of millennials desire to start a business, according to the Kauffman Foundation, and the number of new business owners under 34 increases by more than 300,000 each month.
The last six months has witnessed the blossoming of dozens of multi-million dollar startups from college students — some remaining in school and some delaying — including Snapchat's rise to 400 million snaps per day with a $19 billion valuation and Dropbox's now $257 million in funding and 400 million users.
These trends have translated into backlash against the "restraints" posed by demanding schoolwork and college life, leading to programs like the Thiel Fellowship and Breakout Labs scorning the broken education system and developing well-funded college dropouts. Jonathan Cain, President of Thiel Foundation, claims only 7 percent of fellows (of 80) have returned to college, while the rest have generated more than $100 million in economic activity. But is it really worth it? Are schools actually toxic death spells for hopeful entrepreneurs?
It seems fitting to first look into where all these college CEOs come from — elementary through high school. From 2012 to 2013, a survey indicated schools offering entrepreneurial classes dropped from 58.4 percent to 46.9 percent. Even more foundational, classes on money dropped from 65.5 percent to 55.3 percent in just a single year.
Fewer and fewer youth are exposed to the core of business and lose track from the start. In a survey of 40 entrepreneurial education leaders in different states, 90 percent claimed colleges offer entrepreneurship education, while only 24.3 percent responded that teachers in high school are expected to include entrepreneurship in the curriculum.
How can schools bring in entrepreneurship if they can't even teach computer science?
This can be traced to the lack of computer science — the core of modern entrepreneurship — in schools. Only 5 percent of U.S. high schools offer AP computer science, and only 27 states actually allow computer science to count toward high school graduation. Not only does this inherently strain entrepreneurship, but this bars most students from forming an interest in keeping up with trends and problems in the tech world — crucial for any modern startup, especially youth-centric.
How can schools bring in entrepreneurship if they can't even teach computer science? These two are complements, and without either one the entrepreneurial development of students is gravely hindered. But schools aren't picking up on this. It isn't until college when a majority of students have the opportunity to learn computer science, stay up to date with trends and start experimenting with business.
iCracked started when AJ Forsythe found his cracked iPhone screen frustrating. At the time, he was still a student at Cal Poly. With revenues north of $25.2 million, 2,400 iTech repairers worldwide and +25 percent revenue growth each month, the startup has become a giant in iOS repair (to Apple's dismay), fixing iPhones, iPads and iPods at consumers' desired locations for flat prices.
The school social environment actually seemed to help Forsythe. He used his fraternity to acquire initial customers, found his first $10,000 investment from a peer and brought on a crucial lead designer from among his classmates to spark the business. With classes on computer science and business that sparked his interest, Forsythe was able to capitalize on Cal Poly's social atmosphere and its entrepreneurial exposure. Now his work nets the company more than $1 million a month.
HourlyNerd began as a class project in Harvard Business School's Field III course. Devising a way to pair MBA students with small businesses for hourly consulting, the "project" quickly grew into a company with more than 10,000 independent consultants and more than $12.5 million in funding, notably $450K from Shark Tank's Mark Cuban and a $7.8 million Series B funding from five investors last February.
The pillars of the social revolution were all started by college students in their dorms.
With customers including Microsoft, GE and Coca-Cola already, HourlyNerd is growing fast. Without the exposure for business case studying and similarly minded peers in HBS, co-founder Rob Biederman and others would not have the connections or expertise to scale. With more than 4,000 MBAs from 15 top business schools, HourlyNerd actually benefitted from college education and continuing on to graduation.
FlightCar started as a written-off idea by incoming college freshman Rujul Zaparde. He was set to attend Harvard in the fall of 2012. Creating a platform for travelers to rent their cars and earn money in the process, FlightCar has more than 160 employees serving more than 90,000 members. The company raised $22 million in venture capital and continues to experience +20 percent monthly growth rate in membership.
While two of the co-founders dropped out of Ivy League schools and another from MIT, they all saw college as the "back-up plan" — a fallback in case the business didn't work out. While seemingly the classic case of a successful college dropout startup, FlightCar exhibits the very power of college education: some use it, stay in college and build a social following for their business, while others simply take what they've learned or the sheer comfort of knowing college is a fallback option and scale rapidly.
Either way, none of these three very successful and lucrative businesses would be where they are now without the education, social network and startup exposure colleges naturally offer.
Indeed, K-12 schools have much learning to do.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the current number of Dropbox users.

App Inventor runs through a Web browser. If you're using a phone, you work with the phone connected to your computer by a USB cord. Your app will emerge on the phone bit by bit as you work. If you don't have a phone, there's a phone emulator included with the App Inventor setup package that you can use instead. When you're done building, you can "package" your finished app to produce an "application package" (Android apk file) that can be shared around and installed on any Android phone, just like any other Android app.
Note: If you are using Firefox with the NoScript extension, you'll need to turn the extension off. See the note on the troubleshooting page.
Your computer needs to run Java 6 (also known as Java 1.6). You can download Java from www.java.com.
Visit the Java test page. You should see a message that Java is working and that the version is Java 1.6.
Run the AppInventor Java test by clicking on this link. This will check that your browser is properly configured to run Java, and that your computer can launch applications with Java Web Start.
App Inventor will not work on your computer if these tests do not succeed. Don't go on to try to use App Inventor until you've dealt with the issue.
Before you can use App Inventor, you need to install some software on your computer. The software you need is provided in a package called App Inventor Setup. Follow the instructions for your operating system to do the installation, and then go on to build the demo app (Hello Purr) with the phone or with the emulator.

Q: Understanding generic methods in Java I'm trying to understand a method which I read over in an existing Android app. The declaration of the method looks as follows:
protected <V, T extends Result> void postObject(final V input, final T result, final ConnectionTarget endpoint, final boolean restart, final int id, final LoaderProvider provider, final ServiceCallbacks<T> callbacks) {

I just read about generics, so I more or less understand what's going on here, but not exactly. Therefore I have two questions:

*

*should input be a type (i.e. a class), or should it simply be an object of any type?

*What does the <V, T extends Result> mean? As far as I understand that place should always describe the return type of the method, but it already says void behind it, plus, it says both V and T.

Could anybody give an example of how to call this method?

A: I will split it in to smaller sections so that it is easier to understand.
In the section:
protected <V, T extends Result> void

the <V, T extends Result> is an optional section (normally isn't there) and is used for specifying generic types (or unknown object types).  This is designated by the < and > and that any comma separated value is a separate object (the object 'T' has to extend Result).
This means that later in the method call:
... postObject(final V input,...

that input is of the object type V, meaning that it can be any object you want.
EDIT
A basic example of calling this method would be:
//Now post it
postObject("my input object", null /*Your result class*/, null /*your endpoint*/, true, 0, null /*your loaderProvider*/, null /*your callbacks*/);

A: The best way to think of the <V, T extends Result> section of this method definition would be to think of this as a declaration of generic parameters that will be contained in the method signature itself. This definition allows you to ensure that your parameters are descended from a particular type (in your example T has to be a subclass of Result) and also allows your signature to not choke when T and V are referenced. As far as your questions are concerned:

*

*input can simply be an object of any type

*<V, T extends Result> simply means that you will have two generic parameters that are used in your method signature where any V parameter can be an Object of any type and any T parameter needs to be a subclass of Result

Archaeological finds of uncharred wooden artefacts are particularly rare in Northwestern Argentina. In this respect, the museum collections from the sites of La Paya and El Churcal, in the Calchaquí Valley (Northwestern Argentina), are significant owing to their excellent conservation and diversity of their uncharred wooden artifacts. However, due to necessary current conservation policy in Argentina, researchers may have limited access to artifacts and sampling possibilities. We carried out the identification of woods used to manufacture artifacts from La Paya and El Churcal collections as part of our ongoing studies on the processes of production, circulation, and consumption of raw materials and goods in societies inhabiting the Calchaquí Valley during the late pre-Columbian period (ninth to sixteenth centuries). As a result, we acquired previously unknown information on woods used to manufacture artifacts in the Calchaquí Valley. Despite working with two museum collections that offered different possibilities for intervention and different levels of accuracy of identification, we were able to obtain successful results that show similar trends between the collections.
