Mobile Museums
Collections in circulation
Edited by Felix Driver, Mark Nesbitt, and Caroline Cornish
Hardback £50.00 Paperback £30.00 Open Access PDF £0.00
Tags: Archaeology, collections, Edited by Felix Driver; Mark Nesbitt, et al., geography, Hardback, heritage, museum studies, museums
Mobile Museums presents an argument for the importance of circulation in the study of museum collections, past and present. It brings together an impressive array of international scholars and curators from a wide variety of disciplines – including the history of science, museum anthropology and postcolonial history - to consider the mobility of collections. The book combines historical perspectives on the circulation of museum objects in the past with contemporary accounts of their re-mobilisation, notably in the context of Indigenous community engagement. Contributors seek to explore processes of circulation historically in order to re-examine, inform and unsettle common assumptions about the way museum collections have evolved over time and through space.
By foregrounding questions of circulation, the chapters in Mobile Museums collectively represent a fundamental shift in the understanding of the history and future uses of museum collections. The book addresses a variety of different types of collection, including the botanical, the ethnographic, the economic and the archaeological. Its perspective is truly global, with case studies drawn from South America, West Africa, Oceania, Australia, the United States, Europe and the UK. Mobile Museums helps us to understand why the mobility of museum collections was a fundamental aspect of their history and why it continues to matter today.
Praise for Mobile Museums
'This book advances a paradigm shift in studies of museums and collections. A distinguished group of contributors reveal that collections are not dead assemblages. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries were marked by vigorous international traffic in ethnography and natural history specimens that tell us much about colonialism, travel and the history of knowledge – and have implications for the remobilisation of museums in the future.' – Nicholas Thomas, University of Cambridge
'The first major work to examine the implications and consequences of the migration of materials from one scientific or cultural milieu to another, it highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of collections and offers insights into their potential for future re-mobilisation.' – Arthur MacGregor

De kracht van Zes is de tweede sciencefictionroman van de Lorien Legacies, een serie geschreven door de Amerikaanse schrijver Pittacus Lore (een pseudoniem van James Frey en Jobie Hughes, die samenwerkten aan deze reeks). Het boek verscheen op 1 november 2011. Het is het vervolg op Ik ben Nummer Vier.

Inhoud
Het verhaal wordt verteld door verschillende leden van de zogeheten Garde. Ten eerste wordt het verteld door Nummer Vier (John Smith), die op de vlucht is met Sam, Nummer Zes en Bernie Kosar. Daarnaast wordt het verteld vanuit Nummer Zeven, die Marina genoemd wordt. Zij verschuilt zich in Teresa, Spanje, terwijl Nummer Zes, Nummer Vier en Sam de andere Loriërs proberen te vinden.

Zevens verhaal
Marina wordt gelijk in het begin van het verhaal geïntroduceerd. Ze leeft in een religieuze gemeenschap voor kinderen die hulp nodig hebben, samen met een aantal vrienden van school en Adelina, haar Cepaan (beschermer). Marina verafschuwt de school.

Nadat Marina en Adelina er niet in geslaagd zijn om zich in de grote massa van de aarde te mengen, gaan ze naar Santa Teresa om daar vervolgens tien jaar te leven. Adelina heeft haar hoop in de wederkomst van Lorien opgegeven en probeert haar leven verder te leven als non. Ze heeft de kist van Zeven ergens verstopt en negeert haar volledig.

Wanneer een zeven jaar oud meisje genaamd Ella ook in het huis komt wonen, wordt Marina gelijk vriendinnen met haar. Ella helpt Marina haar kist te vinden. Wanneer ze de kist openen worden ze getraceerd door de Mogadoren. Daar wist ze aan te ontsnappen in een gevecht waar Zes ze kwam helpen. Ook komt ze erachter dat Ella later samen met een Cepaan, genaamd Crayton, is ontsnapt van Lorien en dat zij dus Nummer Tien is.

Viers verhaal
John wordt gewond wakker in een motel waar hij was aangekomen aan het einde van Ik Ben Nummer Vier met Nummer Zes en Sam. Ze proberen zo onopgemerkt mogelijk te blijven, omdat Vier nu zowel op de lijst van de Mogadoren staat als op de lijst van gezochte mensen van de FBI. Wanneer een politieman hen betrapt op het rijden met een gestolen auto, breekt er een gevecht uit tussen de drie en de FBI, waar Zes hen uit weet te redden door de elementen te beheersen.

Na een lange rit overtuigt Zes Vier ervan om zijn kist te openen. Daar zitten verscheidene voorwerpen in die Vier en Zes aan elkaar kunnen uitleggen. Zo zit er een voorwerp in dat het zonnestelsel laat zien waarin Lorien zich bevindt. Plotseling verandert het zonnestelsel in een wereldbol en zien ze een rode stip in de buurt van Spanje. Ook horen ze een vrouw gillen. Daarnaast vinden ze een brief die Henri, de vermoorde Cepaan van John, heeft geschreven met de inhoud dat de negen Gardes met tien geweest zouden moeten zijn en dat ze later Lorien zouden regeren, omdat ze extreme krachten hebben. Omdat de Mogadoren daar van hadden gehoord, proberen ze hen nu te vermoorden. Ook vertelt Henri dat de vader van Sam hen heeft geholpen met het inburgeren op aarde en dat de ontvoeringstheorie die Sam bedacht dus goed kan kloppen.

Als later die nacht Zes en Vier niet kunnen slapen en een rondje in de omgeving gaan lopen met behulp van de ontzichtbaarheidserfgave van Zes, ontploft hun huis en zien ze Mogadoren bij het huis staan. Sam was net op tijd ontsnapt met de kist van Vier door in het zwembad achter het huis te springen.

Sam herinnert zich iets wat zijn vader jaren geleden heeft gezegd en overtuigt de groep terug te keren naar Paradise, Ohio. Ze vinden daar in een verborgen kamer een tablet en wat mysterieuze papieren van zijn vader. Als Vier in het geheim met Sarah, zijn vriendin, afspreekt, sms't Sarah met iemand. Wanneer John haar vraagt met wie, antwoordt ze dat het met haar vriendin Emily is. Maar na een tijdje duikt de FBI op en arresteren ze Vier. Sarah had met de politie ge-sms't, bedenkt Vier zich later. Sam en Zes weten Vier te bevrijden, maar de kist wordt meegenomen.

De groep beslist zich te splitsen. Zes gaat naar Spanje om op zoek te gaan naar een ander lid van de Garde. Sam en Vier gaan naar West Virginia waar Zes eerder opgesloten heeft gezeten. Er is daar een enorme grot die de Mogadoren gebruiken als gevangenis. Ze verwachten dat Vier's kist daarheen is gebracht dus gaan zij ook die kant op.

In de grot gebruiken ze een Xlitharis, zodat ze onzichtbaar kunnen zijn. Ze vinden de kist samen met een andere tegen de tijd dat de Xlitharis is uitgewerkt. Ook vinden ze een ander lid van de Garde, Nummer Negen. Van hem was ook het gevonden kistje. Ze vechten zich een weg naar buiten, maar Sam wordt gevangengenomen. Als ze willen vertrekken naar het punt waar ze weer met Zes hadden afgesproken, beseft Vier dat alleen Sam de locatie wist.

Personages

Draft Prospect Watch: Phil Bickford Puts Up Big Strikeout Numbers, Three Top Pitchers Get Scratched
Friday night was the start of the second weekend in college baseball and that means it is time to take a look at the best college pitchers in this draft class. You can check the action from last Friday here, along with the college pitcher preview to get acclimated to these players mentioned below. The draft begins on June 8th and the Pittsburgh Pirates have the 19th and 32nd overall picks.
Louisville's Kyle Funkhouser was the headline pitcher last week, so his outing this week is a bit of a surprise. Against Arkansas State on Friday afternoon, he went 4.2 innings in an 8-2 loss. Funkhouser gave up seven runs(four earned) on seven hits, three walks and two hit batters. The only upsides to the day were his seven strikeouts and the 95 MPH radar readings. He threw 100 pitches on the day, with 63 going for strikes.
Virginia's Nathan Kirby had a high pitch count early against Marist, but still put up strong results. He needed 97 pitches to get through 5.1 innings. Kirby gave up one run on three hits and a walk, while striking out nine batters.
Vanderbilt took on Indiana State on Friday with Carson Fulmer on the mound. He went five innings, allowing two runs on four hits, two walks and a hit batter. Fulmer threw 94 pitches and picked up six strikeouts. Fulmer is consistently ranked near the Pirates first pick in the early season lists. Shortstop Dansby Swanson could go even higher than his teammate in the draft. He is a likely top ten pick, assuming he has a good junior season. On Friday, he went 2-for-4 with a walk and run scored.
Kendall Rogers reports that it is highly unlikely that Walker Buehler pitches this weekend. Rogers also reports that Buehler is progressing fine from his elbow injury that kept him out of week one action.
Phil Bickford from Southern Nevada pitched on Thursday and threw five scoreless innings, allowing two hits, two walks and he struck out 13 batters. In four starts, he has a 1.77 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 20.1 innings. Bickford was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2013, taken tenth overall. After not signing, he attended Cal State Fullerton for one year, before transferring to a JUCO school so he would be eligible for the 2015 draft.
Kentucky's Kyle Cody took on UC Santa Barbara on Friday. The two teams avoided a premium match-up, as UCSB's Dillon Tate will go on Saturday against Kentucky. Both Tate and Cody are top 50 prospects coming off strong first weeks. Cody couldn't carry that success into his second start, lasting just three innings. He gave up seven earned runs on six hits, a walk and a hit batter. He finished with three strikeouts.
UCLA's James Kaprielian went six innings on Friday against North Carolina. He allowed four runs(three earned) on seven hits and no walks. Kaprielian threw 86 pitched and recorded seven strikeouts.
Duke's Michael Matuella is considered by many as the top college pitcher in this class, so the news from Friday wasn't good. He will miss his start with right forearm tightness. Matuella will likely make his next start.
Scouts in NC being informed that #Duke RHP Michael Matuella will not pitch this weekend due to forearm tightness #mlbdraft
— John Manuel (@johnmanuelNC) February 20, 2015
Speaking of scratched starters, Miami lefty Andrew Suarez missed his second start with an oblique injury suffered during his pre-game bullpen. He was drafted last year in the second round, 57th overall by the Nationals, but chose to return to college.
Thursday's draft article got buried quickly with ten articles going up that day, so many people missed it. There were five real good links in there worth checking out from the early part of this week.
Andrew Suarez, Carson Fulmer, Dansby Swanson, James Kaprielian, Kyle Cody, Kyle Funkhouser, Michael Matuella, Phil Bickford, Walker Buehler
John – think Matuella or Buehler would drop to #19 if they had to get TJS?
I certainly wouldn't expect Giolito upside, but you think either would be worth it?
I think it's possible for both because Buehler doesn't have a big frame, while Matuella had some questions regarding his delivery and injury risk. With a lot of other strong college pitching, I could see both dropping if they missed most(or all) of the year. I was surprised how quickly Hoffman got picked last year. He may not have dropped at all due to his TJS. I don't think that will always be the case
Thanks, John. Too much content from you guys lately…hard to track all the articles! 😉

Incinerating council wants to ban back garden bonfires
Posted on July 5, 2017 by insidecroydon
The Beddington incinerator under construction. Our council is committed to improving air quality, apparently
Croydon is a borough council where its officials think nothing of providing false and misleading reports to planning committees, claiming that there is no air pollution issues on the A23 Purley Way near the Fiveways Junction. This happened when the council determined to push through the building of a primary school just yards from one of the most polluted roads in London.
Croydon is a borough council which will shortly be spending £10million of public money per year to pay for a massive waste incinerator to operate on its borders, pumping out pollutants into the atmosphere for the next quarter-century.
And Croydon is a borough council which has fully subscribed to the £1.4billion Hammersfield supermall development in the town centre, which includes 3,100 car parking spaces which will encourage thousands of additional journeys by motor vehicles every day, in an area where the air quality has for years has been breaking EU legal limits.
And now, that very same borough council is running a little public consultation. On the borough's air quality.
You'd be forgiven for not knowing anything about it.
The council's press office (annual budget: £500,000-plus), based in its bunker in Fisher's Folly, has yet to issue any press release about the consultation.
But according to the air quality survey, which was launched last week and is due to run until August 21, the council which denies that there's an air quality crisis on its major highways, which spends millions on a potentially polluting incinerator, and which is encouraging cars to be driven into the town centre on our already clogged roads, "is committed to improving air quality within its borough".
Yeah, we didn't believe them, either.
One of the borough's air pollution monitors. Is the council prepared to take real action to reduce pollution?
The air quality survey is seeking public responses to some minor, nibbling-round-the-edges schemes which the council will undoubtedly impose on the borough's residents from next year, regardless of which political party wins the Town Hall elections (because it is what the council's paid employees have determined that they will do). And now they'll be able to say that they "consulted" with residents.
But buried in the middle of this, perhaps deliberately so that bored respondents end up ticking the "agree" option without actually considering the question, is one measure to extend a ban on back-garden bonfires.
The preamble to the survey says, "Croydon is committed to improving air quality within its borough and has produced a new plan that builds on existing successful actions and developed new actions to improve air quality. We are seeking views from people who live and work in Croydon to help shape our action plan."
There follows a series of lame leading questions, few offering any real detail on what is being proposed. Most of the questions posed are pretty facile and would seem hard for most reasonable people to disagree with what is offered. They don't quite go as far as "Do you Strongly Agree, Disagree or Don't Know with the statement: 'I would like the air that I breathe to be pollution-free'." But they're not far off.
Of course, there is no mention of the Beddington incinerator, nor of bans on cars being used to ferry children to and from their schools, nor of any efforts made to discourage people from using their cars to go on shopping trips to supermalls in the town centre.
The under-promoted council air quality survey is full of soft, patsy questions with which no reasonable person is likely to disagree
The bonfire issue appears to be an attempt to nudge more residents into using the (now paid-for) garden waste collection service, rather than allow them to simply the burn their waste in the back gardens of Purley, Coulsdon and Kenley.
"Smoke control zones are areas in which only certain types of fuel or exempt appliances can be used. In Croydon, only the northern half of the borough has been designated a smoke control zone. We are proposing to extend the zone to the whole of the borough in line with Croydon's Air Quality Management Area," the survey explains, before seeking the respondent's answer to a leading question which states: "Bonfires create substantial amounts of smoke and other pollutants". Not as much as a £1billion incinerator might do, but hey…
There's a parenthetical reassurance which states, "There will be exemptions for cultural events", so the council can't be accused of "Banning Bonfire night". So that's alright then.
The council's press office has not been entirely idle in the last few days, though. They've been busy promoting another of Councillor Mark Watson's pet projects, and they have also issued another press release which refers to air pollution.
The council has run a poster competition among the borough's schoolchildren "to raise awareness of air pollution". Bless.
The winner is a 10-year-old Coulsdon primary pupil, Jada Kelly, who designed her poster after air quality lessons in school, which included using diffusion tubes to measure nitrogen dioxide levels in nearby roads and fields.
On receiving her award, Kelly said, "I think cars are the biggest problem with air pollution so I wanted people to think more about them."
If a 10-year-old can recognise that, why can't Croydon Council?

8 Responses to Incinerating council wants to ban back garden bonfires
croydonres says:
The words "Public Consultation by Croydon Council " are now utterly devalued in Croydon.
Agree with it or oppose it, the last major consultation in the South of the borough was about whether to introduce the same 20mph max speed limit to the "South" as applied for some years to the "North". A massive number (no doubt Peter Morgan could update us) of many hundreds, or , maybe over a thousand residents in the South said "No thank you". to the proposal. A handful supported it.
Having consulted, and got a huge, very clear "against " response, the Council disregarded the result, and pressed on regardless, on the grounds that the thousands of silent non-responders must have agreed with the proposed 25mph, and been "Supporters".
The reasons may be that some Labour councillors despise the voters in the suburban South of the borough, as most of the latter vote Tory, or, sadly, that the same councillors just consider the public an inconvenience, and barrier to them doing what a narrow Cabinet member elite want.
The air pollution survey is a sick farce.
Officers and councillors will fall back on the official Government line that the incinerator poses no risk to public heath, as the chimney will take all the pollution up into the sky, where it will be dissipated. Of course, everyone knows that much of the toxic exhaust plume will come back down to ground level, where it will combine with the heady mix of petrochemicals from the major roads, in the North of Croydon.
Whilst I welcome education to make children realise the connection between their own health and that of the planet, both under attack from air pollution and global warming, it is deeply, cynically wrong, for the same council to fail to act when it comes to rejecting planning applications for the new Purley way primary school, and other smaller schemes which place kids near cars.
Is that what you have to do, to be a Labour councillor on the Planning Committee nowadays? Do exactly as the Tories did when they were in.? Do they get dished out a glass "blind eye" to conveniently not see how some proposals are fundamentally flawed and should not be approved?
Hasn't someone got the courage to stand up, and do the right thing?. Councillors get paid a decent allowance to work on behalf of the residents of Croydon,.
Seemingly, probably not. Take the money and run?
Let's have a meaningless Public Consultation instead, appoint well- meaning "pollution awareness champions", and turn a blind eye to the incinerator, and its real effects on public health. Yes, that's the way we do things now, in local government, Croydon style (and Sutton too).
What's next ?
Anyone up for a new Urban motorway — an M23 extension ?
Let those lorries bringing in Surrey's toxic waste to get to the incinerator quicker, so they can get more loads to the burners every day. More profits for golf-club mates in the private sector. Yes!
Arno Rabinovitz says:
The air pollution surveys is simply a load of what the Spanish, ever poetic, would call Caca de Vaca….questions designed to make you feel good for having participated but serving absolutely no other purpose whatsoever. Its a real piece of PR smoke and mirror stuff, signifying nothing. Its best ignored.
As I've said before, they can consult with the public, or they can consult to them. It's invariably the latter. Skilled practitioners (ie not Croydon Council, who I'm sure set these things as a Year 10 civics project*) sneak in a couple of questions they know they'll give way on to kid you it isn't a sham exercise.
*either that or they dream them up down the Wetherspoon's on a slow Friday afternoon.
Nick Mattey says:
Croydon Council's decision to consult its residents on air quality is breathtaking (pun intended) in its hypocrisy.
It was only four years ago that concerned Labour politicians were telling voters in the local council election that once in power, they were going to cancel the Viridor incinerator, less than a mile from the Croydon border. As soon as they got into power they decided on the grounds of cost to renege on their promise.
Instead the council are sitting idly by while Viridor will soon burn 300,000 tons of rubbish every year on your doorstep.
The cruel irony is not only most of the vehicles that will transport the rubbish for its cremation will use Croydon's roads, but that the fumes and pollutants will end up in Croydon's northern wards where Croydon Labour gets its highest support. The heavy traffic flows on the A23 already mean parts of Croydon are already in breach of air pollution limits.
A borough-wide crackdown on bonfires is a token gesture. Wood burning stoves, wood-fired pizza ovens and firms that heat buildings by burning biomass are a much greater source of pollution.
It is about time Croydon Council persuaded its Sutton neighbours to install a real time air quality monitoring system around the incinerator before it starts burning rubbish in earnest.
stanislaw prokop (@alphaemitter) says:
Just as there are many sources of dangerous air pollution, SO THERE ARE EVEN MORE WIDESPREAD EFFECTS OF IT ALL OVER THE BODY.
THE VITAL THING TO UNDERSTAND is that a very large number of cells in different organs have the AHR receptor on their membranes.This is quite unusual. Air pollution affects many more things than the lungs, and this at small doses.
THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST SECRETS OF THE GOVERNEMNT HYPOCRISY ABOUT "SAFE" LEVELS.
Below is a reference from last year that goes into the detail.Most people will have heard of "agent orange" in Vietnam……this is the receptor that causes its dreadful effects.
Lewis White says:
It is truly sad that in around 30 years, people will have found out the harm to their own and their children's health of the Incinerator. Asbestos was a wonder substance until its harmful true nature was revealed.
The way in which the councils ganged together to pass the incinerator, with a sham consultation is woefully bad behaviour inflicted on the public of Beddington and N Croydon.
What is truly sad is the inability within this forum of persons able to disseminate fact from fiction..
1) peter morgan is not a reprsentative of his community and this has been proven time after time. At least he has had the balls to put himself with his views on the speed limit to the electorate several times and found very little support – if you want to know what "the people" feel about this issue go and canvas outside a school when the mums are out and about.
2) the incinerator was a fait accompli before this admin took over (er…. read this site passim) one could argue that tony N jumped on the band wagon and made "promises" that were difficult to keep but read his small print, large chap, but not stupid at all.
3) doubt if Sutton council would listen to this Croydon council no matter what they said
4) I read the latest air pollution survey after they had resited the monitor, i.e. not under a bush not under a plastic bag not in pampisford road when supposed to be measuring 5ways, (which it felt was VERY different as now it could actually measure crappy air er…. being closer to the actual road and not choked. ) this may not be the most accurate way of telling us that we are poisoning ourselves and our children but it is better than what was available under the previous admin in Tory Towers (which I prefer to fishers folly, which one could argue is more descriptive, but less accurate)
6) it is silly to compare car effluent to agent orange – get a grip.
7) public consultation is what councils do – get used to it. If you want to change their mind (I hate to say it) but be like peter morgan and stand up for what you believe in. He may be a conniving idiot he may be a wool over your eyes idiot (with his many internet accounts and survey busting) but at least he is working on putting his points of view over within the system. If we all did that he would disappear into the undrgrowth.
I just hope I am not the only one who reads my posts.
" it is silly to compare car effluent to agent orange – get a grip."
It is clear that you don't understand the history of the research into the AHR recptor,let alone the biology of receptors and transmitters.Unfortunately we are surrounded by air filled with ring shaped hydrocarbons and it may have missed your attention but cancer INCIDENCE rates have increased from 1 in 3 to 1 in 2.

Huntingdonshire is a good place to live and work, according to new survey
Updated: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 (11:30)

HUNTINGDONSHIRE is a good place to live, find a job, buy a house and go to school, according to a state-of-the-district report by Huntingdonshire Community Safety Partnership.
And, overall, crime levels have been going down in the majority of areas.
The report covers the second year of the safety partnership, which was set up to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and look after the district's wellbeing.
It states that over the last 12 months it had some great success, including:
- A reduction in total crime of nearly 15 per cent
- Criminal damage down 24 per cent
- Thefts from vehicles down 28 per cent
However, the safety partnership, which included Huntingdonshire District Council, the county council, police, the Luminus Group and other groups, found that domestic violence had increased between September 2008 and August 2009.
But a spokesman said this was because more victims have been encouraged to speak up.
An HDC spokesman said: "According to research, victims suffer some 36 attacks before they seek help.
"We want them to come forward sooner and to stop repeat attacks, so we would expect to see more cases."
There were also slight increases in some types of crime (see below for details).
The report also looks at other areas of life within the district, including averagehouse prices with are described as the second lowest in Cambridgeshire, despite and increase of 84 per cent since 2001.
The report adds that the current ratio of average house prices to average earnings makes homes slightly more affordable than they were in 2004.
On the jobs front unemployment was recorded at 5.1 per cent, below the national and regional average.
On health issues the most common causes of early deaths in Huntingdonshire are cancer and circulatory diseases. Women can expect to live to 83 and men to 79.
The percentage of pupils gaining five or more A* to C grades at GCSE has risen from 60 per cent to 64 per cent in the past five years.
Overall, according to the results of a CCC survey highlighted in the report, we're happy with Huntingdonshire - well 88 per cent of respondents were satisfied with Hunts as a place to live - this second highest percentage in Cambridgeshire.
The population, estimated at 163,100, is expected to increase by 2.4 per cent over the next 13 years but from 2016, the proportion of people under 19 is forecast to decrease with the over 65s sector going up significantly.
Hunts by numbers
Population: 163,100 in 2008
Life expectancy: 83 for women 79 for men.
Unemployment: 5 per cent.
Happy: 88 per cent.
Total crime: Down by 14.9 per cent from April 2009 - to March 2010
Criminal damage: Reduced by 24 per cent
Theft from vehicles: Down 28 per cent
Domestic violence: Increased by 36 per cent (554 additional incidents) to 2,111.
Violent crime: 1,686 offences between September 2008 and August 2009. Huntingdon West (including the town centre) was the worst area - 207 from September 2008 to August 2009.
Burglary: Increased from September 2008 to August 2009 for the second year running but this time by 7 per cent compared with 33 per cent. Peaks were August-September 2008, January/February and April/May 2009. The study says the outbreaks were no longer than a month and stopped after key individuals had been arrested.

Q: Avoiding while loop but still capturing each move by computer in the game May You please suggest me how to implement computer's move inside game without having while loop in main method which will eventually burden the thread?
As It is easy when I have game between 2 human players, because I can manage whose move it is by managing actionPerformed() method. So I dont need any loop.
I already have logic for computer's move inside computerPlays() method.
Probably it is bit easier if one player is human, one computer..where I can do something like: increase int n after each human move. and then in main()
if(n%2!=0)
{
computerPlays();
}

but I still need loop to have complete game flow.
What if both players are computer?
If You are willing to help me, please try using simpler words as I am pretty new to Java.
Thanks.
edit: whats wrong with question ?

A: Use a javax.swing.Timer to pace serial calls to the model, stopping the timer when the game ends. In the game cited here, press A to toggle animation when using the mouse. Each time you release the mouse, the computer, via the timer's handler, will first move the player and then advance the enemies; it repeats this sequence until there is no valid move or the game is won.
/** Animate one move; stop when no more moves or game won. */
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if (!game.move(mouseRow, mouseCol) || game.won()) timer.stop();
}

A: Your question seems to be vague, but i'll try to do my best, with general tips.
You should not use a loop to manage your game logic, this will make your GUI unresponsive, or totally freeze it.
Instead, you should use events to run the game. You could write a class which models your game logic, keeping an instance of this class in your "game panel".
Then, you register all the listeners you need to determine when the player is trying to make his move. Whenever an action is fired you could:

*

* Ask your game class if the player has to move.

* If not, you can ignore that event, or you can send a warning/error message to the user.

* Else, you set the current state of your game class, doing all you need to prepare it for the next move.

* Refresh your game panel (if needed) to make all the changes visible.

* If the computer has to move, you invoke the corresponding method.

* Once again, you refresh your game panel, and so on ...

As you can see, this way of programming is event driven, when something happens you need to change your model, and then you update your view.
If the computer and the player play the game by alternately moving, it's easy to make your computer play after every player move, else, you need to check who is moving every single time.
Also, since the computer could play too fast to let the user understand what happenened, you should consider using a Timer (see the official tutorial) to add some delay to every move.
Hope this helps!


Monthly box subscriptions are all the rage lately. When the people behind Kawaii Box contacted us about reviewing their monthly box of cuteness we were pretty excited to see what they had to offer.
As a quick introduction, Kawaii Box is brought to you by Blippo, an online site where you can buy mainly Japanese and Korean goods like magazines, plushes, accessories, stationery, purses, etc., all of which fit within the category of "cute." Every month they select 10-12 items, pack them up, and ship them to your door. They ship globally and payment is through Paypal. How convenient!
Some of the items in the box were really nice quality and totally cute. The Watermelon purse is absolutely adorable and would be great to store change, on the go makeup, skinny mini watermelon slices, and really any small items you don't want bouncing around in your purse. It is also really soft. The Rilakkuma Aloha note papers double as sticky notes, making them useful and cute. The Korean stationery set we got is just melancholy enough to be charming, and you'll always win our hearts with Kumamon, small as this plush was. The Korean Stationery Set included pencils, animal erasers, and a sharpener, once again mixing cuteness with something you can use.
Some of the items didn't hit the mark. The cupcake ring was bent and the colors had blended together so it looked stained. It's also child sized, though you can bend it to make it bigger (it still didn't fit my 5-½ to 6 size fingers). The Panda plush looked like something I could have made at summer camp with a hot glue gun, in fact you can still see the glue and some of it's stringiness was coating the panda when we pulled it out of the box. The giraffe keychain simply didn't seem to fit with the theme of the box and I can't really see it's charm, but maybe someone who loves giraffes would like it. It's just so bland to me. The candy set is cute, but if you plan on using it, they don't taste very good. It's the kind of candy that's marketed to kids where the fun comes from the process of making them, rather than eating them.
Kawaii Box is $18.90 a month and if you really want to bolster your collection of cute stuff without having to pick and choose things on your own, you'll probably like this subscription. After some searching, only two of the items in the box are actually up for sale on the Blippo site, so simply checking out the items on the Kawaii Box site and then trying to order the ones you like yourself probably won't work.
However, one of possible reasons these items can't be purchased is because they're small items that would normally come with bigger, better ones. You know how when you order a large plush, sometimes it comes with a smaller keychain or a bonus item? That's what most of this stuff felt like, and it was pretty disappointing.
If you add up the retail cost of everything in the box it would exceed the cost of the box itself, so you are getting some value there. I personally wouldn't pay $18.99 for all these items, but that's just my own opinion on what's cute and worth buying. You can see the items above, and you can see past items on their website. Use your own definition of "kawaii" and decide if it's worth it for yourself.
Some people might find the lesser appealing goods in the box to be charming, and if so, please go ahead and subscribe. Maybe with time and more subscribers Kawaii Box will be able to increase their box's value. Until then, we give the Kawaii Box 6/10 fuzzy watermelon pouches.
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but this box just didn't live up to my expectations. If I'm signing up for a subscription I want at least 80% of the things in there to be usable/worth my time.
Cheap, uninteresting, and not particularly cute. I guess if you like having "stuff" (get ready for it to break), then you might enjoy this. Besides the quality of the items, I just can't get behind the philosophy of getting things you don't need in your mailbox every month.
Back when we got this box, it was all right. It seemed a little sad, which actually added to its cuteness, in my mind. But now, the business seems to have grown, so check it out and judge for yourself. I think if you just like cute stuff in general, then this might float your boat… for a few months. But if you're looking for your favorite characters, just go on Amazon and choose your own cuteness.
A good value. Cost of individual items exceeds price of the box.
There's a few cute things in there.
There are too many low-quality items.
The word "kawaii" is subjective.

Seacoast Running: Clover Run 5K nears with proceeds benefiting Portsmouth's St. Patrick School
Rob Leveysports@seacoastonline.com
Although spring is not yet in the air (or on the ground), it can certainly be found on the roads with dozens of races to take place in the next eight months. For those interested in getting started this season with a 5K, the 2nd Annual Clover Run kicks off at 10:30 am on Saturday, March 14 at Pierce Island in Portsmouth.
The best part about this race, though, may be the fact that 100 percent of the race proceeds will benefit a great cause. In this case, the race beneficiary is St. Patrick School in downtown Portsmouth.
"We received donations from two very generous parishioners that will cover all the costs for the race," said race director Jill McFarland. "As a result, every dollar raised will go directly to St. Patrick School."
Never heard of St. Patrick School? Honestly, I had no either, which is why I asked McFarland to provide me with a little insight into the school, which has been in existence since 1868.
"Committed to educating students in grades Early Childhood 3 through eight, St. Patrick School provides a strong academic curriculum and faith formation while promoting, expecting and encouraging personal integrity and responsibility," explained McFarland.
Citing more than 400 registrants in its inaugural year, McFarland said she hopes for even bigger crowds this year to show up and support the school in a shared commitment to community. It is in fact a community that has gotten together these past few months every Saturday morning for training runs.
"It has been a great community building experience to see parents and students come together to support this great school and do something healthy as a family," she added.
Despite all the snow, students remain equally excited about this year's race, many of whom ran last year.
"I got tired (last year), but at the end it felt good to accomplish it," fifth-grader Simon Letourneau said.
For others, the race is simply a lot of fun. Brendan McQuillen, a fourth-grader, expressed budding philanthropic concerns, as he said, "It was fun to run around and raise money for the school."
As with any charitable road race, financial sponsors are critical with RiRa Irish Pub, Diamond Financial and Strategies for Health as this year's lead sponsors. Other sponsors include RM Davis, Lyons Law, Willis Programs, Kane Property Management, Knights of Columbus and Martin's Point Healthcare.
"We're also very fortunate to have several local companies donate items from water bottles to gift cards to coupons," added McFarland. "Similar to what we did last year, students will be handing out thank you cards to each runner crossing the finish line to showcase their support of those who have come out to support the school."
Free T-shirts will be given to the first 200 runners and prizes to the top male and female in ages categories 10-and-under through 70-and-older. As for the course itself, McFarland said it begins at Pierce Island and provides participants with breathtaking views of Portsmouth Harbor and the new Memorial Bridge. Runners will wind their way down past pastel-colored postcard homes and finish at historic Strawbery Banke.
"You can't beat Portsmouth's historic views and downtown vibe for a race," she said.

Harmful Church Patronages
A letter to the Evangelical Times concerning their criticism of the Church of England for abolishing patrons:
At long last the Anglican Church is doing away with her evil practice of having patrons lord it over churches of which they themselves are often not even members. The ET should rejoice but the ET looks upon this positive move as ´ominous` (Ominous changes in the Church of England, Jan. issue). How can this be?
Patronages, whether enforced by rich individuals, endowments or non-church-based organisations, are the curse of the C of E, often ensuring that churches receive ministers whom they do not want. A well-known example is the fate of John Newton of Olney Hymns fame. Newton was burdened with two patrons. One, Lord Dartmouth, wanted to send him off to the American colonies and the other, John Thornton, wished him to pastor a church in London. Newton, however, felt called to take up a pastorate in Yorkshire! Thornton won the day but to the detriment of sound Biblical practice. The church at St. Mary`s, Woolnoth protested that they wanted a man of their own choice and not Newton. Thornton, who held the patronage, took the matter to the House of Lords to fight for his ´rights`. He had them verified and thus installed Newton as Vicar of a church who had not called him. Does the ET seek to defend such a practice?
The author of the article is against doing away with outside influence on churches as it would give certain church officers more power. He calls this ´prelacy`. It is odd that Malcolm Watts is rightly free to promote in the ET what critics might call ´free-church prelacy` but such a concentration of inner church power in the Anglican Church is frowned on and thus willingly given over to external controlling bodies. Contrary to the impression given by the article, the vast majority of individual patrons and societies are not evangelical and enforce unbiblical practices on the churches under their control. The harm they do is enormous compared with the unscriptural practice of a few evangelical societies seeking to control churches from outside. One of the major issues Spurgeon brought up in the Down-Grade Controversy was the fact that Baptist Churches were being dominated and financed by non-church-based bodies. The Church of England is now toeing the Spurgeonic line and being condemned for it. What a pity! I had hoped that the ET would pose the question, "Now that the Anglicans are taking this most necessary step, when are Free Churches going to drop the shackles of patronages and follow suit?"

Skype will soon be slightly more useful on mobile for certain users thanks to a new feature: screen sharing. It seems only the Android version has the feature right now, but Microsoft says iOS will see it, too.
Microsoft's messaging app Skype looks like it's getting another friendly face in an upcoming version - yours! Its absence on bigger platforms has allowed smaller apps that offer mobile screen sharing, like Squad, to fill the void. This ability is arriving first in beta for Android and iOS users, making it possible to share a phone or tablet's display directly with another Skype user.
Microsoft suggests you might use it to show a colleague a PowerPoint before a big presentation, or to swipe through Tinder with the help of a friend.
Adding this feature also brings Skype up to speed with other business-oriented apps, such as Cisco's WebEx or GoTo Meeting. By using the Screen Recording button, users will be able to enable this feature.
To be clear, they could do all of those things with Skype's desktop screen-sharing feature, which has been around for years. Background blur is similar to what is available in Microsoft Teams. With this change, Skype now permits a bigger number of members in group calls than FaceTime which permits up to 32 individuals in a single call, however enterprise-focused software, for example, Zoom enable you to have up to 100 members on a solitary call.
This feature is in beta, so it might not work as smooth as you expect.

Judge Peck Issues "Wake-up Call" Regarding Appropriate Responses to Discovery
Court Grants Motion to Compel Reproduction in Requested Format
"Troubling" Activity with No Proof of Spoliation Insufficient to Warrant Sanctions
Despite Failure to Employ "Best Practices," Lack of Sufficient Prejudice Results in Lesser Sanctions
Citing Misconduct "As Deep as it is Wide," Court Imposes Sanctions on Defendants and Counsel
Citing "Diminishing Returns," Court Declines to Compel Additional Discovery
Sanctions Imposed for Failure to Preserve Call Recordings
"Close" Question of Intentional Spoliation Sent to the Jury
Court Finds Foreign Discovery "Marginally Relevant" and "Not Proportional," Declines to Compel Search
Despite Intentional Spoliation, $25 Million Verdict Stands
Fischer v. Forrest, —F. Supp. 3d—, 2017 WL 773694 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 28, 2017)
Judge Peck has "once again" issued a "discovery wake-up call," this time regarding the effects of the 2015 amendments on the rules of discovery and in particular on Rule 34, addressing proper responses to requests for production. Specifically, the court noted that "one change that affects the daily work of every litigator is to Rule 34," and instructed that "[m]ost lawyers who have not changed their 'form file' violate one or more (and often all three)" of the changes to the rule. Those changes require that "responses to discovery requests must":
State grounds for objections with specificity;
An objection must state whether any responsive materials are being withheld on the basis of that objection; and
Specify the time for production and, if a rolling production, when production will begin and when it will be concluded.
In these related cases, the court concluded that Defendants' responses to discovery violated the discovery rules, including by failing to comply with the requirements of Rule 34(b) and failing to recognize and appropriately respond to the amendments to Rule 26(b)(1).

Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Assoc. v. California Dept. Educ., No. 2:11-cv-3471 KJM AC, 2017 WL 445722 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 2, 2017)
In this case, the court granted Plaintiffs' motion to compel production in native format with metadata, including the reproduction of information already produced, where Defendant failed to follow the protocol set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(b) and unilaterally produced in "'load file' format."
HCC Ins. Holdings, Inc. v. Flowers, No. 1:15-cv-3262-WSD, 2017 WL 393732 (N.D. Ga. Jan. 30, 2017)
In this case, the court declined to impose spoliation sanctions, despite Defendant and her husband's "troubling" behavior, where Plaintiff failed to "present evidence to cast significant doubt" on the explanations for the at-issue behavior and failed to establish that the at-issue information—namely Plaintiff's trade secrets and confidential information—had ever been "resident" on Defendant's personal computer or otherwise in her control.
F.T.C. v. DirecTV, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-01129-HSG (MEJ), 2016 WL 7386133 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 21, 2016)
In this case, the Court addressed Plaintiff's motion for sanctions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(e)(1) but, despite acknowledging that Defendant "could have been more forthcoming in its disclosures to the FTC, and/or more proactive in its preservation efforts," declined to grant the request to exclude evidence, including Defendant's expert's report, absent a showing of sufficient prejudice. Instead, the Court ordered Defendant to make its expert available for a 4-hour deposition, should Plaintiff find it useful.
Arrowhead Capital Fin., Ltd. v. Seven Arts Entm't, Inc., No. 14 Civ. 6512 (KPF), 2016 WL 4991623 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 16, 2016)
For Defendants' egregious discovery conduct, including obstructing depositions and failing to preserve and produce relevant documents, among other things, the Court imposed sanctions, including precluding them from litigating the issue of personal jurisdiction; imposing a "spoliation instruction, as appropriate, on any claims that are ultimately submitted to the jury"; ordering payment of Plaintiff's attorneys fees related to the misconduct; and ordering the retention of a second outside counsel to review their files for additional discoverable materials and to represent them in future discovery-related proceedings. Defendants' manager and sometimes CEO was also found in contempt for his behavior throughout discovery, including attempting to minimize his own responsibility for the discovery deficiencies by claiming limited involvement and blaming others. Finally, for acting in bad faith in a manner that improperly lengthened the proceedings and for making objections in bad faith, the Court also imposed "modest" sanctions against defense counsel.
Armstrong Pump, Inc. v. Hartman, No. 10-CV-446S, 2016 WL 7208753 (W.D.N.Y. Dec. 13, 2016)
"Implicit in both the language and the spirit of the 2015 Amendments is the obligation, at any stage of a case, to prevent parties from expending increasing time and energy pursuing diminishing returns."
In this case, despite having viewed all of the at-issue documents and printing "approximately half of the total pages" (albeit under strict protocols), Plaintiff sought to compel "formal production" of all of the documents pursuant to the parties' protective order, arguing that the documents did not contain "actual programming." Defendant argued that the documents were "functionally equivalent to source code" and should not be subject to production. Ultimately, the Court reasoned that discovery had "reached the point of diminishing returns" and declined to compel production, with limited exceptions.

Sec. Alarm Fin. Enters., L.P. v. Alarm Protection Tech., LLC, No. 3:13-cv-00102-SLG, 2016 WL 7115911 (D. Alaska Dec. 6, 2016)
In this case, Plaintiff was sanctioned pursuant to Rule 37(e), as amended on December 1, 2015, for its failure to preserve relevant customer call recordings.
Plaintiff alleged that Defendant had "illegally 'poached'" its customers and defamed the plaintiff. Defendant, in turn, alleged tortious interference with its contractual relationships and defamation by the plaintiff. In the course of discovery, Plaintiff produced approximately 150 customer call recordings (out of "thousands") that were "generally favorable" to it but, when asked, was unable to produce any others and claimed that the recordings were lost, apparently as the result of the "normal operation of a data retention policy." Defendant sought sanctions pursuant to amended Rule 37(e).
Cahill v. Dart, No. 13-cv-361, 2016 WL 7034139 (N.D. Ill. Dec. 2, 2016)
Following Plaintiff's arrest for driving on a suspended license, an officer claimed he observed Plaintiff dropping a small package of cocaine while at a "County lockup" and charged him with felony possession. Although defense counsel acted quickly to ensure preservation of surveillance video that Plaintiff believed would prove his innocence (because he claimed that he did not drop the package), only a portion of the video—which began after the package was on the floor—was available. After the charges were eventually dismissed, Plaintiff brought the present lawsuit and moved for sanctions. The magistrate judge found that the failure to preserve was grossly negligent and caused substantial prejudice and recommended that Defendants be barred from making arguments or presenting evidence that the lost portion of the tape showed Plaintiff dropping the cocaine, but would allow testimony from one officer that he saw it happen. Plaintiff objected. Thereafter, the District Court adopted the recommendations of the magistrate judge, with modifications, concluding that the jury should be informed that the video was missing because of Defendants' failure to fulfill their duty to preserve. The court also ordered that Plaintiff would be allowed to argue that the destruction was intentional and that the jury would be instructed that IF they agreed, they must presume that the lost evidence was unfavorable to the defendants.
In re Bard IVC Filters Prod. Liab. Litig., —F.R.D.—, 2016 WL 4943393 (D. Ariz. Sept. 16, 2016)
In this case, the parties disagreed on the discoverability of communications between Defendants' foreign subsidiaries and divisions and foreign regulators regarding the filters at issue in the case. Following analysis of the effects of the December 1, 2015 amendments on Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1) and of the specific facts of the case, US District Court Judge David Campbell—Chair of the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure—determined that the at-issue communications were "only marginally relevant" and was persuaded that "the burden of [the] foreign discovery would be substantial." Thus, the court concluded that Defendants were not required to search their foreign entities for communications with foreign regulators.
BMG Rights Mgmt. LLC v. Cox Commc'ns, Inc., —F. Supp. 3d—, 2016 WL 4224964 (E.D. Va. Aug. 8, 2016)
In this copyright infringement case, Plaintiff was found to have intentionally spoliated material evidence, resulting in sanctions. Specifically, Defendant was allowed to address the issue of spoliation in its opening statement and the jury was instructed that it may, but was not required to, consider "the absence" of earlier versions of source code relied upon by Plaintiff's agent to identify and provide notice of infringement by Defendant's customers. Despite the sanctions, Plaintiff was awarded $25 million upon the jury's determination that Defendant—a conduit internet service provider—was liable for willful contributory infringement of Plaintiff's copyrighted musical works. In a motion for a new trial, Defendant argued, among other things, that the sanctions were insufficient. The district judge rejected that argument (and others), denied the motion, and entered final judgement in accordance with the verdict.

The Government's upcoming initiative to designate Penang as the hub of the new northern development region encompassing Perlis, Kedah and Perak coupled with the extensive infrastructure projects will have a big impact on the real estate sector of the State.
• With the entry of more Klang Valley based developers into the State, the greater competition among the big players will see the creation of higher quality developments with new lifestyle concepts and better designed homes.
• With affluent Penangites' preference for landed housing, many developers have responded to this with the launching of several schemes such as E&O's Seri Tanjung Pinang; Hunza's Alila; SP Setia's Setia Pearl Island and Mah Sing Group's Southbay Villas.
• The relaxation of rules on purchases of residential units by foreigners has helped boost the high-end condominium sector of both new and completed projects as many foreigners have bought homes here under the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme.
• The waiver from Real Property Gains Tax with effect from 1st April 2007 has also contributed to higher activity in the residential sector.
• It was announced that construction work on the second bridge will commence in early 2008 with assistance from Export Import Bank of China (Exim Bank).
• The completion of The View and Bayswater Condominium in the south west of the island contributed an additional 560 units during the first half of 2007.
• Supply will be further increased when projects like The Cove, The Mayfair, Putra Marine are completed by the end of the year.
• The developer of the latest two high-end condominium projects, the "Infinity" and "Gurney Paragon" has reported good take-up by foreigners who reportedly purchased a third of the 10% sold during their soft launches.
• The "Infinity" is for sale from RM383 per sq ft and RM405 per sq ft for 3,700 sq ft and 4,700 sq ft units respectively whilst sale prices for Gurney Paragon start from RM400 per sq ft for 4,600 sq ft units and from RM460 per sq ft for 2,800 sq ft units.
• Prices of new projects within the sought after areas of Pulau Tikus and Tanjung Bungah range from RM350 to RM500 per sq ft.
• In Pulau Tikus, monthly rentals for fully furnished units range from RM4,000 to RM10,000 where sizes range from 1,800 sq ft to 5,000 sq ft.
• The supply of office space increased by 80,000 sq ft with Menara Great Eastern completed in the first half of 2007.
• In the south west district within close proximity to the Bayan Lepas Industrial Park and Penang International Airport, three new buildings namely Suntech, The CEO and IJM's new corporate office are currently under various stages of construction.
• Occupancy rates of the better grade office buildings average 72%.
• No en bloc sales of office buildings were recorded in the first half of 2007.
• Capital values of prime office space generally remained unchanged from the second half of 2006 level of RM220 to RM260 per sq ft whilst those of secondary offices range from RM110 to RM150 per sq ft.
• With supply in excess of demand, market rentals of prime office buildings generally remained unchanged at RM2.20 to RM2.70 per sq ft gross whilst secondary buildings average RM1.50 to RM2.00 per sq ft per month.
• The retail industry is set to grow with the anticipation of more tourist arrivals projected by the government in which Penang enjoys a 33.8% of the market share.
• The supply of retail space increased by another 610,000 sq ft in the first half of 2007 with the recent opening of Sunway Carnival (NLA of 500,000 sq ft) in Seberang Jaya on the mainland and the neigbourhood Pan Palace Plaza (110,000 sq ft) in Sg Dua on the island, bringing the total to 5.422 million sq ft.
• Occupancy rates of the prime shopping malls range from 85% to 95% whilst those of secondary complexes average 55% to 70%.
• Modern shopping malls are in demand from investors as evidenced by the sale of Island Plaza (320,000 sq ft net lettable area) to Asia Mall Private Ltd, a company formed under a US based insurance group.
• Gross rentals of ground floor retail space in prime centres generally remain unchanged from the second half of 2006 levels, ranging from RM15 to RM27 per sq ft per month depending on the location and size of the units.
