Q: Results encoding in Scala Worksheet Eclipse plugin How can I change charset encoding for results in the Worksheet in Eclipse?
object workbook1 {
"cyrillic A is: " + "А"  //> res0: String("cyrylic A is: Рђ") = cyrylic A is: Рђ
}

Editor's encoding is UTF-8. Results are printed right into editors window, but the encoding of results is different. This is in Windows.

A: Many thanks to @Excelan's original question and solution as it definitely got me pointed in the right direction!
I was experiencing this problem using the Scala Eclipse IDE when working with new projects I created, but was not experiencing the problem when using imported projects. Once I saw Excelan's comment about the encoding I started poking around, you can change the Eclipse default text file encoding for all projects in the Preferences like so:
 Open Preferences
 Expand the "General" menu.
 Select the "Workspace" menu.
 Change "Text file encoding" option from Default to Other and select UTF-8.

Once I followed those steps, closed and reopened eclipse. Every new worksheet created after that works just fine!

To change the settings on a project level, right click the project and select properties. The text file encoding is found under the "Resources" menu.
To change the settings for a single file, right click the file and select properties.
The text file encoding is found under the "Resources" menu.

A: This happens because JVM handles input strings as encoded with system default (cp1251 in my case)
You should say to JVM that input strings are in UTF-8
To do this, put into your eclipse.ini:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
If there is better (project local) solution, please let me know.
This seems to be Windows-only related question.

A Visit to Hill Top – The Home of Beatrix Potter
August 11, 2018 7:09 pm·0 commentsViews: 613
One of the highlights during a recent visit to the Lake District was a visit to Hill Top the home of Beatrix Potter. The house (an other properties) were left by Beatrix Potter when she died in 1943 to the National Trust and is open to visitors throughout most of the year and includes access to items from the Beatrix Potter collection as well as artwork. If you do intend to visit get there early so you can book a ticket as it is a very popular place. As well as viewing the house, gardens and collection I was also interested in the shop which has a great selection of books, collectables, accessories and some exclusive items.
Hill Top House
Vegetable Garden at Hill Top
Can you see Peter Rabbit?
Beatrix Potter bought the house and its 34-acre working farm in July 1906 as her home away from London and her artistic retreat with the profits from her first six books including The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Beatrix Potter first visited the Lake District in 1882 with her parents and from that time visited many times. During her visits Beatrix indulged in her interest in nature, spending hours exploring and sketching the wildlife.
Beatrix frequently returned from holiday with animals such as mice, rabbits, newts, caterpillars and birds which formed an entire menagerie that lived in the schoolroom. National Trust website.
A selection of Beatrix Potter books at Hill Top shop.
All 23 Little White books were available.
The house is located near Sawrey, Hawkshead, Ambleside, Cumbria a few miles from Lake Windermere. The ferry at Windermere was closed when we went so we went the long route via Ambleside and Hawkshead. The weather was perfect for a visit to the house and village and to view some of the places that inspired many Beatrix Potter stories.. The house, farm and nearby villages feature in Potter's books, The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan, The Tale of Tom Kitten, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck and The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or The Roly-Poly Pudding.
The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse centenary edition leather boxed book and other books.
To celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the publication of The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse, this edition is limited to just 100 copies (one for every year since the tale's original publication) and is exclusive to the shop at Hill Top. Each book is cloth bound, with gilded edging and comes complete with a leather Johnny Town-Mouse bookmark. The set also includes an insert describing the history of the tale and comes complete in a leather box. Copies are priced at £125 each.
Not only was Beatrix Potter a talented author, artist, a farmer, and a naturalist she was also a very astute business woman. She designed and patented a Peter Rabbit doll, making Peter Rabbit the world's oldest licensed character and also developed links with Wedgwood and Royal Doulton. Her figurines and series ware are still collected today.
Made exclusively for the National Trust this Peter Rabbit soft toy is dressed in clothing exactly as illustrated by Beatrix Potter and features Hill Top, the home of this cherished author embroidered on his foot. This embroidery has been designed using Beatrix Potter's original handwriting.
Although there were no current Wedgwood and Royal Doulton lines in the shop there were many other interesting items including exclusive figurines, amazing miniature bronzes, limited edition books and silver coins.
The shop featured three exclusive figurines. Profits from these exclusive figurines help support the work at Hill Top. Samuel Whiskers figurine – The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was published in 1908; Beatrix Potter was inspired to write the tale since moving to Hill Top as Hill Top had a terrible problem with rats. She counted 96 in her first two years. Jemima Puddleduck and Tom Kitten figurines were inspired by gates at Hill Top.

Remember the old cartoon, The Jetstons?
Well, I've been wondering for a while about George's wife, Jane. What exactly did she do?
Near as I can remember, all she did was complain and spend her husbands hard earned money.
They had that maid, Rosey the robot. She did all the cleaning and tending of the kids. She even made dinner by zapping it out of that space-age dinner vending machine.
So I'm left wondering, was Jane a realistic sampling of life in the 60's when this first came out? In the 80's when it ran for a few more seasons? What about today?
I didn't watch the series very closely, so I'm hard put to understand its characters. No work; spending obey. Hmmmm.
LOL, cartoons are full of weird little mysteries like this!
Yeah. But as kids, they mostly go over our heads--until we grow up and start questioning.
I loved it too! I watched it all the time. Astro was my favorite.
I don't know think about Don Draper's first wife on Mad Men - what did she do? Riding lessons and looking beautiful. Same era. I love the dinner vending machines though.
I haven't seen Mad Men, but I agree, the dinner vending machine is a must-have!
I think she worked as a secret agent for spacely's sprockets. They couldn't show it because it was so top secret.
Good call! She probably was a spy. That would explain a lot!
Haha, great minds think alike. Hello fellow Jetsons fan :) I gotta wonder the same thing. Jane always seemed a little vacant to me, but hey, who am I to judge a space wife. Great show regardless.
I guess they had to have a mom, whether or not she was vacant. And it was a kids show, so I can't be too picky.
You are totally hitting the hard topics. I love it.
It's crazy in all the years I watched the Jetsons, I never really thought about this. Disturbing really, how unaware I am. What DID she do? Then again, with a house full of boys, even with a maid, I'm sure she was busy. I mean, seriously, have you seen the chaos????
Boys can wreak havoc on anything! I think this was made back before the days when parents were encouraged to watch with their children and talk about what they were viewing.
PS-meant to mention, LOVE the blog.
This is fun! I never really thought about it, but I used to love her. I'm still waiting for the little conveyor belt thing to get me ready in the day.
Shouldn't our technology today have caught up with the Jetson's?
Haha! I love that Jane Jetson came to mind when you thought of J! I haven't thought of that show in SO LONG.
And I totally want Rosie to live at my house.
We could all use a Rosie at our house. That's where they should be putting the American budget. Forget every family in a home--every home with a robot maid!
I wish I had a Rosey the robot!
I'll get her for you for your birthday. Then we can go to JCW's and celebrate!
She stood there looking beautiful for a kiss when George got home from work, she did her hair and put on make up every single day. She is also a mother. What more can you expect?
Well then, she accomplished her tasks better than me! I mean the make-up and looking beautiful everyday thing.


The event, an annual fundraiser for the "creative reuse" center, SCRAP RVA, brought some wholesome and delightful crafting fun to Diversity Richmond on a Valentine's weekend afternoon.
With the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment in the General Assembly, some wonder whether fears that it would cover transgender people helped to derail its passage.
In this month's Amazon Trail, Lee Lynch talks about the dark side of our current unemployment picture for aging LGBTQ workers.
The push, reportedly led by the US Ambassador to Germany, is focused on Iran, considered by Trump to be the United States' number one enemy. Meanwhile, the president himself seems completely unaware of the plan.
Cheadle's "Protect Trans Kids" shirt, worn on last week's SNL, said volumes without speaking a word out loud.
The group's next event will be a screening of At The End Of The Day, a film exploring tensions between evangelical Christianity and the LGBTQ community.
VCU's Gender-Inclusive Library Workgroup made a number of suggestions for the institution's libraries, from increasing available gender-neutral restrooms to employee training focusing on the needs of trans and gender-non-conforming students.


Shaun is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter from Johannesburg who has caught the attention of not only the music scene in South Africa, but also of producer Simon Painter in Los Angeles who will be bringing Shaun over to the States at a later stage. "Love Can" is arguably one of the biggest SA tracks of the year, reaching number 2 on the 5fm Top 40 and number 1 on several other stations on the back of extensive airplay. It held the number 1 spot on the local iTunes chart for 12 weeks consecutive and came in as the 14th most played song in all of Africa against all international music on Simfy for 2013.
Shaun has followed this up with his new single "End of the Road", which has yet again sung triumphant , climbing very quickly up the play-lists and into the major charts in South Africa.
Shaun's music is a combination of energy and intricacy. Combine this with his powerful vocal performances, hook-laden songwriting and creative arrangements and you end up with the distinctive folk/rock anthems people are starting to recognise as his own brand.
"Love Can" is the title track of the new album (which debuted at number 4 on iTunes), a combination of 11 well-crafted tracks, a number of which are bound to get their turn riding the airwaves.
And let's not forget, all this comes on the back of 2012's success of With You, Hurt and Carried from the album Paper Wings, all of which received national airplay; With You being one of 16 South African songs to make it into the Kia Top100 for 2012.
Shaun grew up in musical familiy with a dad who was trained as an opera singer and brothers who are very accomplished musicians themselves. He started out playing drums at a very young age, but it was only when he turned 15 and his older brother thought it would be good for him to learn more than one instrument that his love for guitar, singing and songwriting was born.
What makes Shaun unique is that he not only writes all his own music, but he also plays every instrument in the recordings in studio, as well as recording, mixing and producing everything himself.
Shaun's versatility means he can perform as a rocking 3-piece with Andrew Sowter on drums and Craig Sparks on bass, or as a compelling solo acoustic act. His dynamic live performances are earning him significant recognition, including an endorsement from Music Connection – the largest free standing music store in the southern hemisphere.
"The reasons for Jacobs' success are simple – he's a songwriter in the mould of prolific hitmaker-for-hire Ryan Tedder, and a performer after the model provided variously by U2, Coldplay and others" Bruce Denill, The Citizen.

The film, which stars Willem Dafoe, will have its theatrical premiere in New York at The Metrograph on May 10. Leading up to the theatrical bow, it will screen May 3 as part of a month-long Ferrara retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art.
In Pasolini, Dafoe plays Italian writer and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The film chronicles his final hours after completing his controversial classic, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, leading up to his brutal murder on the beach in Ostia in 1975.
Facing resistance from the public, politicians and press, Pasolini visits with friends and family, including actress Laura Betti (played by Maria de Madeiros). He persists in working on an ambitious new novel and screenplay (brought to life in Pasolini's imagination with gays and lesbians coming together to procreate in one startling, eye opening sequence. All the while, he cruises in his Alfa Romeo for connections with beautiful younger males in the dark streets of Rome.
The deal for Pasolini was negotiated by Kino Lorber SVP Wendy Lidell and head of Capricci Film, Julien REJL.
After its spring theatrical launch, Pasolini will reach VOD and home video in the fall.

Todd is a north country native, and lifelong inhabitant of the northeast. Growing up in the Mohawk river and Lake Champlain Valleys, then attending Binghamton University, youthful adventures to 'the city' were more likely to target Montreal, than Manhattan. He made a lateral move to Vermont in 1991 for graduate school, and while he still lives in the Green Mountains, he is frequently found within the Blue Line of the Adirondack Park, or floating on the big lake in between. As a third-generation Polish-Italian American, with family lore of Prohibition era winemaking on both sides, the probability of predisposed wine interest was high. A 1976 family trip through the Finger Lakes left a young Todd wondering why there weren't vineyards back home on Lake Champlain, and in the Hudson Valley. He trained his palate on the rise of the microbrew wave, and by rummaging wine racks in old country stores, searching out forgotten bottles. Numerous relationships with folks in the wine and restaurant trades, provide an ongoing education about food and wine culture in the north country, which he shares through the Vermont Wine Media project. For several years, Todd has kept his ear to the ground for any signs of winegrowing in the far north. He is a volunteer and test winemaker at the Cornell Baker Farm, a cold-hardy hybrid trial vineyard, in Willsboro, NY, where his extended family resides. He home vinifies grapes harvested from the trial, as well as fruit acquired anywhere from Vermont to Chile. Todd's professional life is as partner in a niche web application development firm. He lives and gardens with his wife, canine, feline, and donkey friends, at an old farmstead in Stockbridge, VT.

Updated 16 Jan 2020
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, welcomed Japan's position on sending the Maritime Self-Defence Forces to the Middle East with the aim of securing its ships and protecting its oil supplies, reported the Emirates News Agency (WAM).
In talks held with Japan's Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, Sheikh Mohammed said that this position is "in line with that of the UAE, which supports every step that contributes to the safety and freedom of navigation in the region."
According the WAM, the two leaders agreed Japan and the UAE "share a system of civilized values that call for tolerance, coexistence and dialogue, and rejects extremism, terrorism, hatred and racism, no matter the source."
Sheikh Mohamed stated that the Arab Gulf and Middle East regions go through complex situations that need to be dealt with "wisely, to maintain security and stability in a region of strategic importance to global peace and security."
WAM reported that Sheikh Mohamed said that interference by "certain regional powers in the internal affairs of Arab countries is one of the most important and dangerous sources of tension, conflict, and instability in the region."
He also affirmed that the UAE joining the "International Alliance for the Safety and Protection of Maritime Navigation and Ensuring the Safety of Maritime Corridors" proves its keenness to contribute to any international or regional effort and deter threats to international navigation and global energy supplies.
During their meeting, held at the Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi, both sides discussed the bilateral relations between the UAE and Japan and ways of supporting and enhancing them.
Sheikh Mohamed stressed that the relations between the UAE and Japan are rooted and deep and have witnessed progress in the areas of trade, energy, investment, technology, space and education during the past decades.

WILL ABIDE BY HAGUE TRIBUNAL'S VERDICT: CENTRE MOVES SC FOR CLOSURE OF ITALIAN MARINES CASE
In February 2012, India had accused two Italian marines, Salvatore Girone and Massimiliano Latorre, on board the MV Enrica Lexie an Italian flagged oil tanker of killing two Indian fisherman who were on a fishing vessel of Kerala coast in India's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The centre has moved the Supreme Court seeking closure of judicial proceedings here against two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen off the Kerala coast. The Permanent Court of Arbitration at Hague ruled in the case of killing Indian fishermen in 2012 that India is entitled to get compensation but cannot prosecute the marines due to official immunity enjoyed by them.
India is bound by the award of the Arbitral tribunal formed under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The award given by the UNCLOS is "final and without appeal", as India is party to the U.N. Convention. The issue of jurisdiction over the case became a big argument between the two countries, It held that the actions of the Italian Marines breached India's freedom and right of navigation under UNCLOS Article 87(1)(a) and 90, the application said, adding, as argued by India, the Tribunal observed that, in principle, India and Italy had concurrent jurisdiction over the incident and a valid legal basis to institute criminal proceedings against the Marines.
Supreme Court had allowed the two marines to remain in Italy till the tribunal pronounced its verdict:
The Italian marines operating as part of an anti-piracy Vessel Protection Detachment on-board Italian-flagged commercial oil tanker MV Enrica Lexie, are accused of opening fire on a fishing boat 'St. Antony' killing two Indian fishermen on board under the misconception that they were pirates. The International tribunal decided that India is entitled to payment of compensation with the loss of life, physical harm, material damage to property and moral harm suffered by the captain and other crew member of "St. Antony". The tribunal also held that the parties are allowed to consult with each other with view to reaching agreement on the amount of compensation due to India. The Tribunal also decided that it shall retain jurisdiction should either Party or both Parties wish to apply for a ruling from the Arbitral Tribunal in respect of the quantification of compensation due to India, and that, should no such application be received within one year after the date of the present Award, the proceedings shall be closed. India had detained the two marines after the shooting incident but later allowed them to return to Italy on specific conditions following separate orders by the Supreme Court.

When I was little, my Mum would read stories to me each night before bed. I think that was probably one of my favourite times of the day. When my mum stopped each night and said, 'It's time for lights out now', I would often beg her for 'just one more chapter'. Of course when I learnt to read that changed things a bit as I could read for as long as I liked (or could stay awake for).
Shining Like Stars: The power of the gospel in the world's universities is a book full of short stories published by IVP in 2006. It was written by Lindsay Brown, former General Secretary of IFES and currently an International Director for The Lausanne Movement.
Why should you read these stories?
They are stories about Christian students from all over the world, stories of young men and women stepping out and making a difference.
Not just stories of what students are doing, but more importantly stories of what God is doing!
Seeing the big picture. Reading about the passion for the gospel of these students and the sacrifices they have made can help us get our perspectives right.
Each generation and society has its blind spots. If we don't read about what happens in different places and in different generations other than our own, we miss the opportunity to pick up on these blind spots and learn from their mistakes.
It is an easy book to read.
Price. The last time I checked, you could buy a 2nd-hand copy from Amazon for £2.76 (including p&p).

JOSEPH DICK
Lighthouse Keeper of Little Ross and Japan
69 principal and assistant lighthouse keepers served at Little Ross Lighthouse on Little Ross Island at the mouth of Kirkcudbright Bay, for an unbroken period of 117 years. Of the many men women and children who stayed in the Northern Lighthouse Board's two houses next to the base of the lighthouse tower, the lives of Joseph Dick and his family are of particular note.
Joseph was born in Edinburgh on 12th June 1842 and the 1851 census records him living at Dildawn near Castle Douglas, where his father was a land agent. At the age of 12 years Joseph was apprenticed to the Earl of Selkirk in Kirkcudbright as a gardener. The Earl also employed a large family bearing the surname Dick at that time and it seems probable that the young Joseph was related to and able to live with them during his apprenticeship. St. Mary's Isle Estate gardens were close to the southern end of St. Mary's Isle peninsula and the lighthouse on Little Ross was an important part of the view, as the lighthouse tower was on the axis of the main path and flanking borders. It is said that the young Joseph developed an ambition to be a lighthouse keeper in the early years of his apprenticeship.
He succeeded in fulfilling his ambition and after training by the Northern Lighthouse Board at various other stations, was appointed as assistant keeper at Little Ross on 10th July 1867. He served there for only a year and four months, leaving on 13th October 1868. At the end of service, other than when a keeper retired, it was usual for the register of keepers to record their transfer to another location such as Skerryvore, Muckle Flugga, or Bell Rock. Joseph however is merely listed as leaving for Japan.
A Scottish engineer named Richard Henry Brunton, who had been associated with the celebrated Stevenson family of lighthouse engineers, had been commissioned by the Government of Japan to set up a lighthouse service there. He appointed Joseph Dick to help him generally with particular responsibility for the training of local lighthouse keepers. They travelled to Japan during 1868, Joseph being accompanied by his wife Jessie Wilson Milne and their daughter Alison, who had been born at Little Ross.
In the next few years, Joseph settled very well into a new way of life and work in Japan. He was involved with Richard Brunton in the design, construction and maintenance of some 25 lighthouses, including Tsunoshima which is now a museum to Japan's lighthouse service. His wife however was not so happy in Japan and eventually returned permanently to Scotland with her children, Alison, Joseph, John and Catherine.
Joseph senior prospered in Japan and after his lighthouse service ended, he engaged firstly in taking charge of signaling for the new Japanese railway system and secondly in trading, import and export. In Tunoshima Lighthouse Museum, there is a desk and Japanese chessboard that were used by him and a sculpture of him sitting at his desk.
He took a Japanese wife, by whom he had a further three children who were all brought up in accordance with western traditions. The descendants of both sides of his family have recently had a reunion to learn more about the life or lives of this truly enterprising Victorian. In Japan, he was known as 'the bearded one' but in Scotland, his relatives know him as 'Kobe Joe'. He died in Kobe in Japan on 26th September 1914.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa has a limited amount of roll away beds available for rent, but they are offered on a first come, first served basis. You may want to call the resort directly to see if one can be noted for your resort reservation.
Remember that if you get a room with 2 queen beds, the sofa turns into a single daybed. If you have a room with 1 king bed, the sofa pulls out into a double bed. I did not know if that perhaps with this bit of extra sleeping space, you might not need the roll-away.
The Grand Floridian is truly one of the most beautiful resorts you will find anywhere. And let's not forget the amazing location to the Magic Kingdom, making it one of the most magical places to stay. Enjoy!


VIERA, Fla.; Jason Bergmann was a member of the Nationals' starting rotation each of the past two springs when the club broke camp. If the right-hander manages to head north to Washington this year, he will do so as a member of the bullpen.
Manager Manny Acta said Monday that Bergmann's only shot at making the Opening Day roster right now is as a middle reliever, a switch the 27-year-old is accepting — but perhaps grudgingly.
After a wildly inconsistent 2008 that featured a few dazzling performances but ended with a 2-11 record and 5.09 ERA, Bergmann reported to spring training hoping to get another shot at the rotation. But the additions of Scott Olsen and Daniel Cabrera — plus the emergence of young starters Collin Balester and Jordan Zimmermann — leaves little room for another starter.
So following his throwing session Monday, Bergmann asked Acta how the organization is viewing him. The manager said he needed to focus on working out of the bullpen.
"He felt… his preparation, especially his mental preparation, will be better if he knew what he is going for," Acta said.
Bergmann, who has 45 career appearances as a reliever (50 as a starter), didn't sound especially pleased to learn of his new role, though he said he would do whatever the team needed.
Daniel Cabrera was a no-show at Monday's workout, but the right-hander had a valid excuse. His wife was scheduled to give birth via Caesarean section, so he was cleared to fly home to the Dominican Republic to join her.
The former Orioles starter, who signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with Washington this winter, could rejoin the club as soon as Tuesday.
Washington: Mostly sunny, 44 degrees.

Sermon for the Feast of the North American Martyrs
Fr. Zepeda
"The Blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Church"
My dear friends, today we celebrate and remember our parents in the faith. We celebrate the north American martyrs. These where 7 Priests and one layman, who died here in North America, for no other reason but their desire to bring salvation to the souls in this continent.
We offer the holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the honor of men, who lived and died, here in this land, to bring Christ, and His Blessed Mother, to bring the Church to us, at the price of their lives.
And I called them our parents in the faith, because we truly are related to them. These men where some of the first Apostles in these lands. If we have the Catholic Church, if we are able to receive the sacraments, and to enjoy so many of the blessings we enjoy, it is because these men came here to bring to us the true Religion.
Yes indeed, it is easy for us to read their story and to be inspired by what they did. For us, it is easy to glory on their works, and marvel at them, as we reap their fruits; but my friends, we must not forget the price there is to pay. For as Catholics we are not called to glory on the saints, but to imitate them. And so, today, in order that we may not forget the price to pay, rather than glory on their merits, we want to remember their actions to imitate them, at least in the little that we can. Allow me then, to tell you a little about their story.
John de Brebeuf was born in 1591 in France. He was a farmer. As He grew up, he decided to join the recently founded company of Jesus, and he received a high education in Europe. But as soon as He could, he asked his superiors for permission to come to America, to bring the faith to the natives.
He was allowed to come, and in the course of the years, he would be joined by other French Priests, who would also suffer martyrdom with him.
He arrived in 1625. As he arrived the difficulties of being a Priest trying to convert the Indians became suddenly quite real.
He did his first experiments, by spending the winter with a tribe of the Algonquin people. That meant living in tents, like nomads, suffocating bonfires being lit inside the tent, among rude men and women, who did not speak his language, nor shared his education.
The food was poor and scarce, he had no one to talk to, and if this was not enough, the Algonquin where given to all kinds of impurity and superstition, and sorcerers would organize feasts and horrible rites in honor of their divinities, things that the Priest had to suffer silently, since he could not even express in words his disapproval.
A big dose of reality, to begin his mission.
But this did not dampen his fervor and zeal. For his next assignment, he was sent far away, to the Huron tribe, to begin a mission there.
Now, the Jesuits had a rule by which they were bound to keep a written journal of the hapennings in the mission, for the instruction of other Priests. To this day, we still have over 100 books filled with these documents. And it is in this manner that we know, what St. John de brebeuf and his companions had to go through.
The trip to the mission was made in a Canoe. He was not requested, nor appreciated. He simply joined a trading party of Indians, who treated him with all kinds of harshness. The trip was made on a canoe, sitting on the bare wood, without barely been able to move, since the canoes were fragile. If you displeased the Indians, or got sick, or they simply didn't like you, they would leave you ashore to die, and abandon you there. They traveled like that for 1 month, over 900 miles.
He then got to his mission. He didn't speak the language, he had no one to refer to. If you have ever struggled feeling alone and isolated, and in a hostile environment, imagine for a moment what this man must have felt, living in these conditions for over thirty years.
All his training was almost useless with them. Is education and manners from Europe where but a hindrance. The language was a language most difficult to learn, since they did not use their lips but their throat to make sounds, and words were barely distinguishable. Their language didn't have any abstract concepts, and so he had to try to explain the faith using only material things.
After three years, he was learning some of their language, and finally becoming one of them, when he was summoned to go back to Europe, on account of the wars between England and France, between Protestantism and Catholicism.
After a few months He was able to return, but this time more men came with him.
This time, the challenges where still there, but they where able to move forward and start baptizing a few.
Now, my dear friends, too often we might picture the life of a missionary, and we think of it on some very nice terms. We think of a beautiful village, and the Priest walking happily about the village with the Indians saying hello to them, and they all gathering by the fire to eat some tasty animal hunted the night before.
But I want you today to imagine the reality, a Priest living in a miserable hut, eaten by rats, fleas and flies, suffering cold during the winter, and heat during the summer, intolerable stench, where most of the people around him are either indifferent, or hostile, or outright abusive. Commanding him, having him serve, and carry, and clean for them. Not giving him anything to eat, or drink or heal himself. Imagine the Priest unable to say mass for long periods of time, praying by himself, isolated, with no books or nothing to hold him. Trying to speak to those who would not listen, and once they listened, receiving from them a simple negative, they don't want to convert.
And these men when through this patiently month after month, until their good example, their prayers, their sacrifice, brought about fruit.
When Fr. Brebeuf as able to baptize his first child, a child who was dying he said: "For this one single occasion I would travel all the way from France; I would cross the great ocean to win one little soul for Our Lord!"
After several years and the work of more Priests, the Hurons began converting. But the missionaries had to struggle with many other difficulties.
One of them was the plague, disease, which attacked the Europeans and the Indians, but the Indians suffered greatly and died in great numbers, blaming of course, the Priests for it.
Another one was the constant wars between tribes, particularly the mohawks, who were constantly raiding the Huron's villages.
Add to this starvation and hunger, which in certain years greatly afflicted the whole of the villages.
But throughout all of this, the missionaries remained devoted to their spiritual children. It was precisely the love and devotion that they had for them, which caused the very first martyrdom.
I cannot go into detail on all of their stories, but I would like at least, to bring out some of their heroic character, of the nobility of their souls.
Fr. Isaac Jogues had been sent on an errand to Quebec, which was very far away, in order to bring provisions to the starving village. They completed the perilous journey, but on their way back, their party was attacked by a band of mohawks.
The indian who was leading the canoe for Father Jogues, immediately made it to shore, and threw Father into a thicket of tall grass, in order to hide him. The Indians fought courageously, but were soon overrun, and taken prisoners.
No one had seen Father Jogues. But he could not let his spiritual children go through this ordeal alone. They would need his help. And so He got up and waved towards the enemy, in order to be captured as well.
This would cost Fr. Jogues to suffer immense brutality, and several weeks of torture. The Indians cut and bit his fingers off, burned them, and beated them up repeatedly.
The white man of the party were spared, while the huron Indians were all condemned to be tortured and killed. Most of them were Christians. Father Jogues was forced to watch it all. They all died like martyrs, even one of them, as He was being tortured, he continuously shouted in the huron tonge, begging God to forgive his persecutors.
Father Jogues, made it back to Europe, where he received great honors and respect, but after only a few months He came back, this time to meet his death again in the hands of the mohawks.
Another beautiful instance of their valor was the dead of Father Anthony Daniel.
He was in a huron village, just about to begin his Mass, when they heard the war cries of the Mohawks outside of the village.
There was no hope, they were greatly outnumbered. Father came out of the cabin, still dressed with his alb, and shouted the words of absolution to all the Indians present, and then said: "Flee, my children, and bear with you your Faith even to your last breath." They in turn pleaded with him to also escape, "No," he said"I shall die here to save you; we shall see one another again in heaven!"
As the Indians who could fled away, the Enemy made it into the Palisade, and Fr. Daniel, took up his cross, and walked towards them holding the cross up high.
The Indians stood bewildered. But after some of them recognized that he was another one of the "black robes" He also received the crown of the martyrs.
Finally the martyrdoms of Fr. John Brebeuf and Gabriel Lalemant are to be related. And here, I don't think I can go into all the details. It is almost impossible to read or think of what they suffered without shrinking from it.
They were both captured. But Fr. Brebeuf had to suffer first.
Now, among the Indians, there was a certain pagan code, by which if the tortured enemy suffered all the tortures inflicted upon him, without begging for mercy, he defeated his persecutors. But if he asked for mercy, he was then considered defeated.
Father knew this well, and he knew that the only way these Indians would respect the true faith was to see him conquer. And so he determined not to ask for mercy, but only to Jesus.
His dead, was preaching.
I will not go into all the details. But he was burned throughout his body, cut with knifes. His fingers were chewed off. The put a torch of fire into his mouth, to silence his prayers. They hanged red hot irons around his neck. An apostate indian, mocking baptism, poured boiling water upon his head.
When he was already dying, they could not bear the look of his eyes, and they pried them out, with a flaming torch.
Father Lalemant died in a similar way.
My friends, as I finish this story, because I must finish, I will ask you to remember this happened here on your land. I stepped in the grounds where this men died. I saw their bones, still kept up in Canada. He saw the rivers, the woods, the places where they walked.
Their blood as been the seed of your faith. You do not have the Church for free. There were men who died to give it to you.
As we honor them today we learn this lesson and let us put it in practice, that we may never shrink from the sacrifices that our faith may demand from us. These men suffered momentarily. Now they reign forever with Christ, and no one will take away their kingdom.
So too we may reach that blessed place where they live now, if we also stand fast to our faith, and suffer what this brief life might bring to us.

Packers: Who will step up in Davante Adams' absence?
In March 2022, the Green Bay Packers traded star wide receiver, Davante Adams, to the Los Vegas Raiders in a blockbuster trade. The Packers received 22North Dakota and 53rd draft picks in the 2022 NFL Draft and the Raiders reunited Derek Carr with their long-lost college wide receiver. Since Adams will no longer wear a Packer uniform, the looming question of the offseason has been "who will take his place?"
Aaron Rodgers' confidence
Adams left the Packers with big shoes to fill. Expecting someone on Green Bay's current roster to perform at the same rate he did is outrageous. The good thing for Packers fans is that you have 4-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers behind center. Unfortunately, playing quarterback only gets you so far. The main concern for fans should be "who will Rodgers trust?" He's a trust-based quarterback, from the offensive line to the wide receiver room.
Trusted receivers.
Which receivers have established trust with Aaron Rodgers? The two players that immediately come to mind are Randall Cobb and Alan Lazard. In 107 career games with Rodgers, Randall Cobb has amassed 462 receptions with 5,526 yards receiving. On the downside, Cobb just turned 32 this August and is a few years past his prime. While he may be past his prime, he is a crucial piece in guiding young wide receivers. Cobb knows Rodgers' tendencies and mannerisms, which will help the young guys earn Rodgers' trust faster.
Alan Lazard has spent his Packers career in the shadow of Davante Adams. He has recorded just 108 receptions and 1,428 yards receiving in 41 games with Rodgers under center. That said, in the last 2 games played without Adams, Lazard recorded a combined total of 11 receptions and 182 yards receiving. Those numbers are promising with the vacancy looming. Lazard is only 26 years old entering the 2022 season and is eager to take Adams' production. Only time will tell if Lazard can handle the workload.
Free agent pickup: Sammy Watkins.
Watkins began his journey with the Packers with a bad reputation for injuries. Watkins was injured early in training camp, which was not a good introduction to the Packers. His injury kept him out of crucial reps with Rodgers. Luckily, his injury didn't last long. It's been a long training camp for him, but now Rodgers is recognizing it. After Thursday's practice, Rodgers said "since the first Saints practice, Sammy has been a different player. He's been super reliable." Watkins has the talent to produce for the Packers and seems to be earning Rodgers' trust. Athletic ability and intelligence have never been Watkins' problem, it's injuries. If he can find a way to stay healthy, he will likely have a productive year. We'll see what fate befalls Watkins after years of bad luck and unreliability.
Rookie hopefuls
Rookie standouts for the Packers are 2 North Dakota round pick Christian Watson and 4 North Dakota round draft pick Romeo Doubs. Watson was dealing with a knee injury and did not receive preseason playing time. Christian Watson has outstanding size and speed on his side. At 6'5 and 207 pounds combined with a 4.39 40-yard dash time, he has all the makings of a great wide receiver. With all of his elite traits, injuries have kept him from cashing in on crucial reps with Rodgers. This adds to Watson's difficulty in gaining Rodgers' trust compared to his counterparts.
Romeo Doubs impressed many Packers fans this offseason and also received praise from Rodgers himself saying, "Every day…there's been at least one 'wow' type of play for him and that's a rare thing for a young guy like him." As a fourth-round pick, he had to work harder to earn his place on Rodgers' radar. Whether it was making "amazing plays" in practice or winning 50/50 balls in the preseason. Doubs has shown Rodgers and the Packers coaching staff that he deserves to be here. Doubs is on the right track to having a productive season with the Packers. We will soon find out if he has what it takes to turn his off-season success into regular-season production.

Q: How get negated value inside spring boot application.yml Is there any way to assign a negated value from a variable to another variable, configuring the application.yml spring boot file.
Something like
org:
 property: true
property2: !${org.property}

I tried few ways and always spring complains about it.
Thanks

A: Negate it in your config class:
@ConfigurationProperties("org")
public class AppProperties {
    private boolean property;

    // getter setter
}

@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties(value = AppProperties.class)
public class AppConfig {
    private final AppProperties appProperties;
    private boolean property2;

    public AppConfig(AppProperties appProperties) {
        this.appProperties = appProperties;
        property2 = !appProperties.getProperty();
    }

    // getter setter
}

A: you cant do any logic directly in YAML as YAML is just a text formatting language comparable to XML or JSON.

Reviews from texas Customers
All the things you asked me before. They were just good. I had no choice to take Allied and I'm very pleased with the service. They bought out the public service company that I had in the Dallas area.
The driver and crew were very helpful, personable, quick, on time and did what they said they would do.
I like the whole service, except Allied VanLines only sent out one person to myhome to help with the moving so it took a long time.
The unloader did not assemble some of my goods. In addition the unloaders knocked some of the paint off my walls.
The estimator, loaders and the delivery team were excellent. The crew seemed to be nonchalant about the delivery.
I like the way things were handled. Totally wrapped everything and very careful with everything. Driver was comprehensive. Honest and straightforward.
The crew seemed to care about what they were doing, they were nice, careful, courteous, polite, and they went through the house and thanked everyone before they left.
The timeliness that the driver and crew displayed. The customer service reps were very eager to assist me.
Allied picked up & delivered on time. The driver also accommodated my delivery time in order to get access to the freight elevator in my building.
I had a positive experience with the exception that the salesperson or estimator should follow through to ensure that everything is handled accordingly.

MainAll NewsInside IsraelProbe into Beating of Ethiopian Soldier Closed
Probe into Beating of Ethiopian Soldier Closed
Criminal charges won't be launched against cop filmed violently arresting IDF soldier of Ethiopian origin; AG said soldier used force first.
Binyamin Netanyahu meets soldier Damas Pakada
Israel's justice ministry announced Sunday it was closing the criminal investigation of the police officer whose documented beating of a soldier of Ethiopian origin set off a series of protests.
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein decided to accept the recommendation of internal affairs to discontinue the proceedings against the officer, transferring the case to police for a "disciplinary examination" of his conduct, the ministry said.
A video emerged late April showing an Israeli soldier of Ethiopian origin on his bike approaching two police who were blocking a road.
After a short verbal exchange between the two, one of the officers is seen hitting the soldier, later identified as Damas Pakada, who fought back and was eventually subdued and handcuffed.
The footage set off a series of demonstrations across the country, including one in Tel Aviv during which police used riot control means and detained dozens of protesters, some of whom threw stones and bottles.
The incident also pushed Israel's leadership to pledge action to fix the "mistakes" made in the absorption of the country's 135,000-strong Ethiopian Jewish community, some of whom say they suffer racism and discrimination.
The Ethiopian community in Israel responded with rage to the decision, pledging to rekindle the demonstrations that died out last month.
Weinstein's decision was "scandalous" and a "disgrace," said former lawmaker Pnina-Tamano Shata, who participated in the protests.
"We have no choice but to continue the struggle for our rights," the former Yesh Atid MK wrote on her Facebook page.
Weinstein explained that a thorough examination of the video materials proved Pakada was the first to act violently when he pushed the officer barring his passageway.
"The officer used force to distance the soldier from the spot," the statement said, noting the chain of mutual violence which led to the eventual arrest of Pakada by the officer and another policeman at the site, which was "conducted flawlessly."
Weinstein added he was also closing the investigation against Pakada for attacking the officer.
The officer had been fired from the police shortly after the incident.

Since the body is an integrated system, what is happening inside of your gut and mind can often times be expressed in the form of a skin condition. Skin conditions can be comprised of many disorders, including rosacea, acne, eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, warts, molluscum, bacterial and fungal infections, seborrhea, and ingrown nails. While the majority of dermatologists or primary care providers will focus on creams, ointments, and oral medications to help control the symptoms of a skin disorder, it is important to look further into the root cause in order to start the healing process.
We believe that the health of your gut affects your brain, and thus affects what is expressed through your skin. Seventy years ago, two dermatologists proposed an overlap between mental illness, gastrointestinal health, and skin conditions. Experimental evidence allowed them to show that emotional states can alter gastrointestinal tract function and change the gut microbiota leading to local and systemic skin inflammation. Other research shows that up to 40% of people with acne have less than adequate stomach acid, which alters normal intestinal bacteria. This can lead to a common occurrence called SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial over growth. While SIBO can be associated with acne, rosacea, and yeast overgrowth, it can also cause significant issues with proper absorption of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and B vitamins in the gut. You can see why it is so important to heal the gut and mind before seeing results in skin conditions.
We can and might use pharmaceutical medications to help temporarily with the symptoms of certain skin conditions, but we will mainly focus on using specific probiotics and essential fatty acids, changing poor dietary habits, and decreasing daily stressors to see long term skin improvements.
