Thibaut was established in September 2015 by Mieko Ban, the director of vintage shop MELANGE in Harajuku, Tokyo. We offer simple loungewear, and also "Cutwork" wardrobes created by MELANGE, remade with bold cuts.
I always liked my clothes with a slit at the neckline or hems torn and made short, and my closet had less store bought clothes, which made me realize I could be the effortless, natural, better version of myself when I run scissors in my clothing and make them unique.
From then on, I started customizing what I felt was right or what I liked to the concept or specifications of a certain season.
Basically my real life experiences. My life as a kid when I was living abroad, memories there of people I had interactions with, TV shows I watched, songs I sung along to. When I set a theme, I wouldn't just pursue my imagination or hypotheses, but try to be inspired by the things I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears.
Would this really be enthralling tomorrow? Do I absolutely think it's enthralling?
I believe we have made some progress as a brand that matches each action we've taken. The first year we had a pop-up store at a department store, and from the second year a photo shoot in LA allowed us to appeal to the international market; photographers from NY and London contacted us. On the third year from establishment we debuted in the JFW Runway show, and we're participating in VFW again this year.
Japanese people are very keen and sensitive so I get a lot of interesting responses, but the majority of them think that they "all need to think the same way", so I believe it would suit me better to be challenged in a field outside Japan where people perceive that "the greater deserve the better" and where competing with their uniqueness is valued.
When I used to perform as a dancer, an artist, I worked managing everything from staging, wardrobe, hair, and make up so I guess that directly affected me.
As a manager of the vintage shop MELANGE I engaged with customers to introduce the items I made myself, and got to see, first hand, their response to them.
The creative process stage. Also I enjoy how people who had no interest at all then see our designs through various media and feel the pieces are good and wear them, and then I encounter them on the streets.
The musical "Annie" that I dreamed of when I was little. Sheets and cotton that may be filthy but arouse a feeling of warmth... stray dogs...to be happy by singing and dancing. Everything I love is in this film.
We are so excited about the Thibaut showcase at Vancouver Fashion Week next month. Find Thibaut on Instagram here or on the website here.

Seminole Elementary Art Teacher Invites Artists to Create Mosaic Mural with Students
SEMINOLE — When Demeree Barth applied for an opening to teach art at Seminole Elementary School last year, she told herself that if she got the job she would "bring all the surprises" to the school.
"I was super excited about the possibility of coming to this school," she said.
Once hired, she stayed true to her word, and last fall Barth applied for a grant through Pinellas County Schools to bring artist Heather Richardson and her project SHAMc ARTreach based out of the Safety Harbor Arts and Music Center to Seminole Elementary. Through this program, Richardson, a mosaic artist, and other SHAMc artists promote education in fine arts, visual arts and the performing arts by bringing projects to schools and other community organizations.
Barth, an artist, has attended events at SHAMc, where she met Richardson, who told her about ARTreach. Once the grant was submitted, Barth and Richardson began designing a mural that would include both mosaic and painted components.
At the end of April, Barth, who teaches kindergarten through fifth grade, began working with her students.
"Every kid had a hand in something for this mural," she said. "Every kid in the school made a tile or more and glazed it."
The following week, Richardson, "the tile queen," brought even more tiles for the project, Barth said. Working with students, they organized the mosaic design for the mural. They installed the mosaic the first week in May.
Barth also brought in Clearwater muralist Beth Warmath for the painted portion of the mural.
The students "loved" the project, Barth said. It was also important for them to meet "artists that are working and having a professional career doing this," she added.
The new mural, which features a large mosaic dragonfly, can be seen on a wall by the car circle near the front office.
"I wanted it to be at the most visible place to visitors to the school," Barth said.
The project was such a success that she's hoping to bring Richardson and SHAMc back next year to create another mural on the other side of the school near the bus circle.

THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY BOOK to ever appear on this planet— The Urantia Book— used to be so circumstantially insulated from the ordinary channels of inquiry that even after a half million copies were loose in the world, it largely remained a great cosmic mystery, save to a few artists, musicians, and other types of creative ne'er-do-wells. The global emergence of the world wide web is now rapidly changing that. The secret is getting out— there are many dozens of sites where you can read and search the entire book online; secondary works are proliferating around the world, and excellent formal introductions to the Papers are readily available.
Even as young artists who were fortunate to discover the book many years ago, we more or less understood how important it has been to our personal work, and how important it is to make thinking people aware of the The Urantia Book, especially artists, writers, and other progressive creative types, whenever and however we could.
Hopefully as an artist you learned to trust your natural curiosity, learned that it would habitually lead you to investigate the world around you with your own unique vision. That doesn't mean that as artists we have some special insight into the book that others do not; outside of what it means to each of us to be an artist in the first place. It simply means we're aware of— and willing to trust in— the natural creative "force" that entices us, and often compels us to create art; and that is a definite advantage.
To be blunt: we think you'll like it because, as an artist, we think you're a little more able to absorb the impact of powerful truth— and this book is most certainly that. But you'll still have to do the work of finding that out for yourself, and there's no substitute for that experience.
Here's the deal. The Urantia Book is an epochally significant revelation— the current apex of human and divine cosmology. Put another way: It is a million word message propounded in the real spiritual realm, available in the material realm.
The Urantia Papers constitute the most recent, epochally significant presentation of truth to the mortals of our world, Urantia; they differ from all previous epochal revelations, for they are not the work of a single universe personality, but a composite presentation by many beings.
Of course you should feel challenged by the assertion these papers have been put forward by the real spiritual world, but if you value truth, beauty, and goodness— and we think all artists must— then we insist you not take our word for it, but find out for yourself by becoming fully acquainted with them— that means you've got to read it-read it. We're confident that most of you who do, will soon find your personal cosmology of the universe expanding far, far beyond all your previous perceptions and expectations.
Of course, there are lots of totally justifiable reasons why many can not, or will not invest the time to accept this challenge— oh well. But here's hoping you'll do it while you are still on Urantia— instead of waiting until you get another chance further down eternity road; in the next world.
Yes of course, we're talking about faith. And the concept of "faith" in this age of physical and scientific "realism," has been frequently discarded by many scientists, artists, and even card-carrying philosophers, and kicked to the curb of the ignorant and uniformed. This rich vein of arrogance notwithstanding, many of the higher minds of the scientific world are no longer wholly materialistic in their philosophy, realizing that all science can do is destroy the childlike illusions of the misinterpretations of life; not pontificate about all the things they know nothing about, and cannot measure with the physical yardstick of science.
We'll close our plea with the excerpt below, that appears in the book as an "acknowledgment" from a being called a "Divine Counselor." And note that the writer uses an editorial "we" that does not include any human beings.
"In formulating the succeeding presentations having to do with the portrayal of the character of the Universal Father and the nature of his Paradise associates, together with an attempted description of the perfect central universe and the encircling seven superuniverses, we are to be guided by the mandate of the superuniverse rulers which directs that we shall, in all our efforts to reveal truth and coordinate essential knowledge, give preference to the highest existing human concepts pertaining to the subjects to be presented. We may resort to pure revelation only when the concept of presentation has had no adequate previous expression by the human mind.
"Successive planetary revelations of divine truth invariably embrace the highest existing concepts of spiritual values as a part of the new and enhanced coordination of planetary knowledge. Accordingly, in making these presentations about God and his universe associates, we have selected as the basis of these papers more than one thousand human concepts representing the highest and most advanced planetary knowledge of spiritual values and universe meanings. Wherein these human concepts, assembled from the God-knowing mortals of the past and the present, are inadequate to portray the truth as we are directed to reveal it, we will unhesitatingly supplement them, for this purpose drawing upon our own superior knowledge of the reality and divinity of the Paradise Deities and their transcendent residential universe.
Good luck in all your artistic endeavors, and let us know if we can help you with The U.B.
I have enjoyed my copy since 1980 but I first read exerts around 1970.
I found the book in late'70-early '71, on mescaline, on the north shore of Oahu. Fiercely intent on finding a spiritual vector for my life, I sat in half lotus for hours in the nighttime rain, swearing to God I wouldn't move until he/she provided an answer.
Hours passed– nothing. Finally, I got up and returned to the house where I was staying. I was drawn to a bookshelf, pulled out Big Blue and opened it at random to Paper 42: Energy– Mind and Matter. It was hard to read through all the rainbows dancing amongst the sentences, but I've been hooked ever since.
You will find nothing but Truth, Beauty and, Goodness in The Urantia Book.


Recently I wrote about the tyranny of the bell curve. Benjamin Bloom was working on this problem back in the 1980s. As an experiment, he and some of his grad students combined Mastery Learning with 1:1 tutoring. They discovered that average students in the program performed two standard deviations (two sigmas) better than their peers receiving conventional instruction. Using on John Hattie's scales from Visible Learning I equate that to more than four times the rate of learning.
In a seminal paper on the subject, Bloom wrote that that 1:1 tutoring is "too costly for most societies to bear on a large scale" and reported on their efforts to find more scalable solutions. This has become known as Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem.
Mastery Learning: That's what Bloom called it. Other terms are Competency Based Pathways and Proficiency Based Learning. There are nuanced differences but the basic premise is that students don't advance until they have demonstrated competency in the current topic.
Asynchronous Learning: Students advance from topic to topic independently. To do mastery learning properly, this is a requirement. However, it doesn't mean that there aren't sync points. For example OLI Courses support students spending variable amounts of time (according to their skills and background) learning the basic material. This way they arrive in class equally prepared for the live debates that are so critical to teaching certain subjects. Some classes resync every Friday with those students who are ahead assisting those who are taking more time. Results from the Khan Academy and School of One are showing us that individual students aren't consistently fast or slow. The slow and fast students trade places from day to day or week to week and overall variability tends to balance out.
Emphasis on Principles more than Facts: A student who has command of the underlying principles of a subject can often derive the facts. And in today's world, memorizing facts is of diminishing importance. It's too easy to look them up.
Strategic Intervention: The teacher is more important than ever. After all, learning is fundamentally a human-to-human process. Deploying online curricula in such a way that supports independent work frees teachers to spend more time one-on-one with students. They are enabled to focus on things only teachers can do: diagnosing misunderstanding, demonstrating the value of the subject, motivating and rewarding achievement and developing a personal relationship with each student. Paradoxically, technology has potential humanize the classroom. In a very important TED talk, Salman Khan says that we should move from measuring the student to teacher ratio to measuring the "student to valuable human time with the teacher ratio." (Quote is at 14:30 but watch the whole thing.) Teacher Dashboards are an important mechanism for informing teachers about where they need to apply their skills.
When I was in first grade, I was in an experimental classroom in California. We had kindergarten through 3rd grade in one classroom with 2 teachers. We were all free to learn all the subjects at our own pace. Small groups would learn certain topics, and then we'd work with each other or alone to get our work done. The teachers would help us if we needed it. I easily worked through two grades (and to about 5th grade in reading, I think) with my friend. I think this matches your "proficiency based learning" model. It's made me wonder if the old idea of the school house with all the kids together wasn't so bad.
I spent this summer putting together a sabbatical proposal (https://sites.google.com/site/sabbaticalucc) to to integrate Adaptive Learning (AL) and Computerized Essay Review (CER) software into developmental courses at Union County (NJ) College These two uses of computer technologies simulate the one-on-one tutoring that Benjamin Bloom found produces a 2 sigma difference (http://bit.ly/qvjvTI) in results. That is, one-on-one tutoring (emulated using AL and CER) gives results where the average tutored student does better than 98% of the students taught with current-traditional classroom techniques. AL and CER may be the "silver bullets" needed to achieve drastically better learning and graduation rates, particularly for minorities and those who need remediation before starting college work.
customized content which is dynamically generated "instantaneously"
The presentation I created (http://bit.ly/ALCER) explains why and how delegating a portion of content delivery and assessment to Adaptive Learning and Computerized Essay Review software benefits students, faculty and administration.
I first learned of adaptive learning in 2002 from Alfred Bork of UC Irvine, where I believe the concept and early implementations were born. Faculty from UC Irvine went on to develop ALEKS, a widely used program of adaptive learning of math. As computers became faster and more capable they were finally used to personalize instruction. Carnegie Mellon University's Open Learning Initiative http://oli.web.cmu.edu/openlearning is based on Adaptive learning principle. Companies like Knewton company developed Adaptive Learning offerings for SAT and GMAT preparation. Faculty from CMU created Carnegie Learning, which offered adaptive learning courses to K-12. Apollo Group (Phoenix Univ) just bought Carnegie Learning.
Several startup companies, have developed Adaptive Learning offerings. Dreambox and HeadSprout are in the K-12 arena. Knewton and Grocit have offered SAT and GMAT preparation for several years. Knewton's programs are so successful they guarantee a 150 point increase in SAT scores. This year Arizona State University, SUNY and Penn state adopted the Knewton's AL engine to deliver remedial/developmental instruction.
Today, Adaptive Learning and Computerized Essay Review are being used by hundreds of thousands of students. Having community colleges to use the two computer teaching modes in their developmental courses is a game changer.
Thanks, Maureen, for the success report! I've seen demonstrations of Knewton and OLI. And I know that several of these are in use at places like Rocketship Education. Many of my colleagues are involved in some of the other efforts you mention. Much of what we're working on at the Gates Foundation is intended to support interoperability among these and to make it easier to focus on one part without having to invent a whole learning system.
There is a looming problem with this conversation as I see it, and it is one of definitions. Bloom's methodology included three modalities- conventional, mastery learning, and tutoring. In each case, CONTENT mastery seems to be in view, with mastery being the ability to apply the principles in a new context. The emerging discussion of competency-based learning certainly requires content mastery as a foundation, but moves beyond content and concept mastery to proficiency in be able to DO SOMETHING with the knowledge- in many cases, not just application in a new context of learned principles, but a skill or ability is in view. I can nowhere find just exactly what Bloom was measuring -was it knowledge, skills, or abilities, and how were these measured- was a product EVER produced as evidence of learning? What was the nature of the formative and summative assessment instruments? The literatures mentions the ability to apply principles within a new context or different problem situation as being one of the strategies; also mentioned is the use of heuristic problem solving. But do either of these assessment techniques approach the demonstration of performance -based competencies in areas that do involve the need to show competence in the performance of a real-world skill?

Universal Pictures to Develop Milli Vanilli Movie
February 15, 2007 By Allison
Wow. So it looks like Milli Vanilli will too get a movie immortalizing them, such as Ray did for Ray Charles & Walk the Line for Johnny Cash. Except in Milli Vanilli's case, is it really all that interesting?
According to the Daily Variety, none other than Universal Pictures is in the process of developing a film about the lip-synching duo who lost their Grammy for Best New Artist in 1990 when it was leaked that they never really sang their songs. Can you say, oops?!
Jeff Nathanson, the writer of Leonardo DiCaprio's Catch Me if You Can, is said to be working on the project already.
"I've always been fascinated by the notion of fakes and frauds, and in this case, you had guys who pulled off the ultimate con, selling 30 million singles and 11 million albums and then becoming the biggest laughing-stocks of pop entertainment," Nathanson stated.
Well, good luck in filling up about 1.5 hours of that content & making it interesting.
What do you think- Would you watch a Milli Vanilli movie?

Q: How can I sort IDs by multiple attributes I have a multi-dimensional array of fencer ids with 3 attributes (see code below)
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 5255
            [ratio] => 1
            [point_difference] => -25
            [given] => 0
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 12256
            [ratio] => 0.5
            [point_difference] => -6
            [given] => 15
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3473
            [ratio] => 0.83333333333333
            [point_difference] => -26
            [given] => 4
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [id] => 10478
            [ratio] => 0.16666666666667
            [point_difference] => -16
            [given] => 12
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [id] => 10256
            [ratio] => 0
            [point_difference] => -15
            [given] => 10
        )
)

I want to sort the fencers by ratio then point_difference then given
I tried multisport with array_columns but it messes up the keys of the column arrays and I need the keys to be the ids of the fencers so I can update the database with the ranking. ($ARRAY_fencers is the name of the multi-dimensional seen above)
//define columns
    $ratio_column = array_column($ARRAY_fencers, "ratio", "id");
    $point_diff_column = array_column($ARRAY_fencers, "point_difference", "id");
    $given_points_column = array_column($ARRAY_fencers, "given", "id");

     //start sorting the array array
    if (!array_multisort($ratio_column, SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC, $point_diff_column, SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC, $given_points_column, SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC, $ARRAY_fencers)) {
        echo "CRITICAL ERROR: array_multisort could not complete the sort!";
    }

If I try to get the keys of a column after sorting I just get 0, 1, 2, ... not the ids, but if I do it before the sort I get the IDs and perfectly but not in order obviously.
I aim to get the keys of one of the columns and use that array to update the database.
//update competitors temp ranking
    $temp_ranking_array = array_keys($given_points_column);

Is there something I'm doing wrong or should I use something else?
Thanks for your answer!

A: You don't need to index by id in the three array_column uses before the sort, and as you've seen they will be re-indexed after the sort anyway.

Associative (string) keys will be maintained, but numeric keys will be re-indexed.

So after the sort just do:
$ARRAY_fencers = array_column($ARRAY_fencers, null, "id");

To get the keys you can just use the first item without knowing it's key, or do it the way you're currently doing it:
$temp_ranking_array = array_keys(reset($ARRAY_fencers));

I don't create new variables unless I need them for another reason:
array_multisort(array_column($ARRAY_fencers, "ratio"), SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC,
                array_column($ARRAY_fencers, "point_difference"), SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC,
                array_column($ARRAY_fencers, "given"), SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC,
                $ARRAY_fencers);

A: $ratio = [];
$point_difference = [];
$given = [];
foreach($arr as $a){
    $ratio[] = array('id'=>$a['id'],'value'=>$a['ratio']);
    $point_difference[] = array('id'=>$a['id'],'value'=>$a['point_difference']);
    $given[] = array('id'=>$a['id'],'value'=>$a['given']);
}
usort($ratio,"sort_multi");
usort($point_difference,"sort_multi");
usort($given,"sort_multi");
function sort_multi($a, $b){
    if($a['value'] == $b['value']) return 0;
    return ($a['value']<$b['value'])?-1:1;
}

Megan Rapinoe, Rose Lavelle lead U.S. women to 2019 World Cup championship in France
Nancy Armour
LYON, France -- Best in the tournament, maybe the best ever.
The U.S. women staked their claim to being the best team in the program's illustrious history Sunday, beating the Netherlands 2-0 for their fourth World Cup title.
It's not only the history they made, though there is plenty of that. The four titles tie them with Germany and Italy's men's teams and leave them one behind Brazil's men. It also is their second consecutive title, a first for the U.S. women. Their 26 goals, including Megan Rapinoe's penalty Sunday and Rose Lavelle's rocket of a shot, are a World Cup record.
"It's just unbelievable," Rapinoe, who won the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player and Golden Boot as the top scorer, said on Fox. "I don't know how to feel right now. It's ridiculous.
"We have no quit in us. We're just so tight. We'll do anything to win."
Jill Ellis, meanwhile, joined Vittorio Pozzo as the only coaches to win two World Cup titles. Pozzo led Italy's men's team to the title in 1934 and '38.
USWNT DOMINANCE:Five stats that prove it
The Americans also stretched their World Cup winning streak to 12 games and are unbeaten since losing the 2011 final.
But it wasn't just what the Americans did on the field. The monumental expectations on them, the relentless criticism of them – they shouldered it all without a seeming care. They refused to back down on the issues that mattered to them, be it the U.S. president's policies and behavior, the not-so-subtle sexism against female athletes or FIFA's infuriating indifference to the women's game.
Mostly, though, they played with a joy and chemistry rarely seen in elite athletes. This is a team that genuinely liked each other and wanted to win as much for the other 22 women on the squad as for themselves.
They knew they were good -- the Americans were so deep they brought Carli Lloyd, a two-time FIFA world player of the year and the scorer of a hat trick in the 2015 final, off the bench, for goodness sake – and the confidence they exuded was a reflection of their belief in themselves rather than any slight of their opponents.
Those late-goal celebrations in the 13-0 rout of Thailand to start the tournament? They were a way to involve the bench and make sure those players knew they were every bit as important as the ones on the field. Alex Morgan sipping of a cup of tea? It was meant to let all the detractors know that the Americans were going to play their game and they didn't much care what anyone else thought.
And Sunday, after Rapinoe scored on a penalty kick to break what had been a very tense, scoreless tie, the entire team rushed to surround her, turning the corner off the field into a pop-up mosh pit.
Rapinoe has been the subject of the harshest criticism after President Donald Trump took issue with a months-old video of her saying she wouldn't go to the White House and her even older stance on not singing the national anthem or putting her hand on her heart.
But Rapinoe is never more comfortable than on the biggest stage, and she seemed to grow in stature after she was the center of that firestorm. She stood by everything she has said and done, and continued speaking out. She delivered a passionate defense of her patriotism and explanation for her protests, then took FIFA to task for its abysmal treatment of the women's game.
And then she went and delivered on the field, scoring all four U.S. goals in the first two knockout games. She missed the semifinal against England with a strained hamstring, but returned to the starting lineup Sunday. So did Lavelle, who'd left the game in the 65th, also with a hamstring issue.
Good thing.
As the final seconds ticked down, the remaining 12 players and coaches stood at the sideline, arms around each other. This was a title for the ages, and a team for it, as well.

Online dating fraudster from Poole jailed
A man who used dating websites to defraud vulnerable victims has been jailed for five and a half years.
Zac Langley, formerly known as Andrew Penfold, 38, of Poole, pleaded guilty at Bournemouth Crown Court on 23 September to 15 counts of committing fraud by false representation and breaches of his Serious Crime Prevention Order. He was sentenced on 14 November.
He used dating websites to meet and befriend women, gain their confidence and persuade them to loan him money.
The court was told that Langley met one of his victims on the dating website Plenty of Fish in December 2015, four days after his release from prison for similar fraud offences. He told his 35-year-old victim that he was a commanding officer in the Royal Marine Intelligence Corp, his family were wealthy and owned an import/export company at Southampton Docks and had inherited a property in Canford Cliffs. The victim and her mother were both 'smitten with him', the court heard.
In January this year, Langley told the two women that he was due a big payout from his family business, but he needed some short-term cash to help him with his property development ventures. The pair took out loans totalling almost £105,000 and transferred the cash to Langley. He purchased a Range Rover Evoque with the money and soon after part-exchanged it for a new Range Rover Sport, taking on the credit payments. One of the women took out personal loans with Amigo and Loans2go both of whom, as a gesture of goodwill, have since written the debts off.
Langley, while dating his victim in the Poole area, used the fraudulently obtained funds to finance his lifestyle with another woman in Southampton – contacted via the same dating website – the court was told. Langley explained his absence from his first victim by saying his work had taken him to Syria geo-mapping war graves for the government.
The court heard that Langley was caught out when he approached KPMG expressing an interest in forming his own real estate company. He approached a real estate company and claimed he had £50 million to purchase Salterns Marina in Poole. A chance meeting during his pretence to purchase Sandbanks properties resulted in that person realising that Langley used to be known as Andrew Penfold and had been imprisoned previously for fraud offences.
The court was told that he submitted a forged document to the real estate company purporting to be from a director at KPMG confirming he had the funds available to buy the property. After the real estate company contacted KMPG, they confirmed the letter was false and a report was made to the police.
At about 4.50pm on 4 July 2016, Langley was arrested at Southampton Central train station. He had with him two iPhones, an iPad, £550 cash and was wearing a fake 'expensive' wristwatch.
Fraud Investigator Paul Sullivan, of the Economic Crime Unit at Dorset Police, said, "Zac Langley is a manipulative and very convincing fraudster who preys on his victims' emotions for his own personal financial gain.
"He is a compelling liar who targeted his victims through online dating websites and tricked them into handing over thousands of pounds. His offending is both prolific and destructive. His victims have been left both emotionally and financially shattered by his cruel and selfish actions.
"While the majority of people use dating websites for legitimate purposes, there are some unscrupulous people out there, such as Langley, who are not who they say they are."

Q: Why .NET and Java on server side? Java and .NET are two languages targeted at removing platform dependence. This is achieved by adding a virtual machine/framework between the code and the OS.
So, what is the point in using it on the server side, as all websites are accessible via browser, and that is platform independent? Is there any special reason for using them?

A: .NET is meant for the Windows platform only. Java is the only one of the two that is meant to be platform independent.
These languages have a strong presence on the server end for many reasons:

*

*Lots of libraries that handle the subtasks of the problem

*Both frameworks are built with security in mind

*They are managed languages, it is much harder to pull off the typical attacks on software.

*They are considered to be mature technologies, they have been put to quite a bit of abuse and have stood the test.

*They have industry support.

*Both are object oriented

*

*This means that there is the ability to either develop a web site through the use of reusable components or third party components.

*Both language allow "sandboxing" of non-managed components (Java: JNI .NET: Boxing) [allows inclusion of legacy components]

A: They're actually chosen for almost completely opposite reasons:

*

*Java's platform independance means you're not tied to one platform and are thus more flexible in choosing the most cost-effective platform, or the most reliable one. And you can keep your apps running even when you have to change server platforms because the old one isn't supported anymore.

*.NET is chosen because if you're going to tie yourself to an OS, Microsoft is the biggest player and thus the least risky option - or simply because companies fell into the "All-Microsoft shop" trap through gateway drugs like Exchange. And once you're there, .NET is what Microsoft wants you to use and supports and integrates with all their current tools.

A: Both Java and .NET have their own benefits for the server-side.
For example, with .NET you are free to pick the best language for the part of the application you are working on, and all of these .NET languages work together.
So, you may want to use F# for the data mining functions, C# to work with the database, unmanaged C++ (going through a thin managed C++ layer) for fast network connections, or system calls, and there are a host of other languages. .NET is less platform independent currently, but language independent.
Java can be used on several different OSes, which is advantageous if you are selling a solution, since you don't care what OS the customer is using.
Now the JVM is becoming less language dependent, with Clojure and Scala running off of it, so Java has become more interesting now, for designing applications.

A: They virtualize the underlying system, so they can be run on different kinds of server operating systems.
And, they are designed to be general purpose application development systems, so they are intended to be run on anything with a processor.
If you are asking because you do not understand why one would accept the overhead of an abstraction layer, keep in mind that both Java and .NET JIT down to native code.

A:
So, what is the point in using it on the server side, as all websites are accessible via browser, and that is platform independent?

Well, web applications are not just rendering HTML for fun, they are doing things on the server-side that may involve talking to database(s), sending messages to a MOM, etc.

Is there any special reason for using them?

This is a partial answer but I wanted at least to cover the case of Java here. I could start by arguing that Java is a safe, robust, garbage-collected, object-oriented, high-performance, multi-threaded, interpreted, architecture-neutral, cross-platform, buzzword-compliant programming language... but this wouldn't really answer your question. Actually, the big deal with Java on the server side is IMO that you benefit from standardized Enterprise APIs (aka J2EE) that allow you to do "enterprise things" (JDBC, JTA, JMS, etc) in a standard way with hardware, operating system and software vendor independence (which is a big plus for contract negotiation). In other words, Java is perfect for heterogeneous environments which are almost always the case with big organizations and doesn't lock you in.

A: While platform independence are great to strive for I would say Java
and .net are commonly used as there are a large number frameworks
available which make it so much easier to develop enterprise level
applications.  This is especially true with java, where you have an
incredible choice of high quality technologies most of which are
flexible enough to meet the needs of most projects, allowing you to
focus on your application's functionality.
Also, without no intent to start a flame war, Java and .net have
better development tool support and are easier/quicker to develop
with for your average programmer.

A: In early web days, it was mostly Perl and occasional brave souls who didn't like Perl or wanted more performance used C++. Then Sun developed JDBC and Servlets for Java, and then other J2EE pieces, and Java became a higher performance alternative to Perl, and easier than C++. With J2EE came a lot of application server products from big companies, and now you have a big Java web/app server community.
Then Microsoft came along, after losing the J++/Java war with Sun, and created a similar web app infrastructure with .NET. With .NET you have fewer choices, with all of the advantages and disadvantages that brings.
So, I think the answer is a mix of decent performance, safety and enterprise features, and major corporate backing. C++ is too hard and dangerous for most people. Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby have their fans, but not the corporate backing. I don't think the fact that Java/.NET are on Virtual Machines is important for the server side. Java used a VM originally for the client. Sun had to work hard to make a fast sever VM. I think Microsoft used a VM to compete with Sun, and to make it easier to support multiple languages. It will be interesting to see if Google's Go language takes off, which may surpass Java and C# for safety and power but no VM.

A: the browser doesn't have access to the server resources (database, files etc.) that those frameworks have access to.  You couldn't have an application that is only javascript (and does meaningful things)

A: I understand your question this way: why choose Java or .NET if there are more other comfortable ways to setup a server because the clients use HTTP to access the server?
You are right that the server OS or framework does generally not matter to the client.
However the client side also can contain applets or code that then needs to communicate with its counterpart on the server. Then JSP or .NET becomes more interesting as you do not have to manage different client OS's. Then website become easily extensible.
If you want to integrate some nice graphing and charting solutions (Telerik, Dundas, ... or whatever - not meant to be advertisement - ) from 3rd parties you would also have to select a compatible server infrastructure to run them.

Pakistani tycoon agrees to hand over £190m to UK authorities
Salima Bhutto
LONDON: The United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA) has accepted an offer of a staggering £190 million from the family of property tycoon and businessman Malik Riaz after a month-long investigation into property and accounts connected to them.
More than £190m of assets, including a £50m mansion overlooking Hyde Park in London, have been seized from a Pakistani property tycoon.
After a settlement in a UK police "dirty money" investigation.
READ MORE: Corruption cases: Akram Durrani summoned on Nov 12
On Tuesday, the National Crime Agency said Malik Riaz Hussain had agreed to the multimillion-pound settlement that did "not represent a finding of guilt".
NCA investigators secured nine freezing orders that covered £140m in funds held in UK bank accounts after allegations that the cash may have been the proceeds of crime.
The money and ownership of the central London property will be handed over to the government in Pakistan.
Where Hussain had been charged with fraud and corruption. The freezing orders were on the cash and assets rather than against any individual.

Hussain is the owner of Bahria Town, Asia's largest private property developer .
He had been the subject of an unexplained wealth order.
Which froze eight of his UK bank accounts containing £120m the NCA "suspected to have derived from bribery and corruption overseas."
Included in the £190m settlement is a grade-II listed 10-bedroom mansion that includes a cinema, swimming pool, gym, steam room and spa.

The seven-floor property on Hyde Park Place was previously listed for rent on property website Zoopla for £86,667 a month.
On Tuesday, Malik Riaz tweeted:
"NCA press release says the settlement is a civil matter and does not represent a finding of guilt".
I am a proud Pakistan and I will remain until I breath my last.
Pakistan Zindabad 2/2
— Malik Riaz Hussain (@MalikRiaz_) December 3, 2019
The NCA described Hussain as the boss of "one of the biggest private sector employers in Pakistan".
Bahria Town specialises in properties that replicate famous buildings such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai,
The Eiffel Tower in Paris and even whole squares, such as Trafalgar Square in London.
They are aimed at wealthy Pakistanis as well as immigrants.
The agency first froze £20m of Hussain's funds last December, and in August secured a court order that covered £120m across eight further bank accounts.
READ ALSO: Govt decides to launch action against 'Karkey' culprits
It is the largest amount frozen in a NSA investigation since the Criminal Finances Act 2017 came into force.
The legislation gives police greater powers to crack down on people attempting to launder money through the UK.
The NCA is also investigating the assets of a former Azerbaijani state banker's wife, who was found to have spent £16m in a decade-long spending spree in Harrods dep.
Duncan Hames, director of policy at the anti-corruption charity Transparency International.
The UK, said, "We welcome news that UK law enforcement have secured a substantial amount of funds for return to the people of Pakistan.
"The size of funds in this case is a step change from previous efforts and shows the importance of changes introduced by the Criminal Finances Act 2017.

Although there is scant information about the specifics of the case, returning seized funds to the country of origin.

Better Off Dead: A Jack Reacher Novel
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jack Reacher is back in a brand-new page-turning thriller from acclaimed #1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.
Digging graves had not been part of my plans when I woke up that morning.
Reacher goes where he wants, when he wants. That morning he was heading west, walking under the merciless desert sun—until he comes upon a curious scene. A Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. A woman is slumped over the wheel.
Dead? No, nothing is what it seems.
The woman is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent trying to find her twin brother, who might be mixed up with some dangerous people. Most of them would rather die than betray their terrifying leader, who has burrowed his influence deep into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days. The mysterious Dendoncker rules from the shadows, out of sight and under the radar, keeping his dealings in the dark.
He would know the fate of Fenton's brother.
Reacher is good at finding people who don't want to be found, so he offers to help, despite feeling that Fenton is keeping secrets of her own. But a life hangs in the balance. Maybe more than one. But to bring Dendoncker down will be the riskiest job of Reacher's life. Failure is not an option, because in this kind of game, the loser is always better off dead.

This section of the Coastal Path encompasses a vast array of coastal landscapes from the dramatic cliffs of Lands End, the impressive coves of Mullion and Kynance, famous resort towns of St.Ives and Penzance, and smaller fishing villages of Sennan Cove, Portloe and Mevagissey. In St. Ives enjoy wandering the cobbled lanes with small shops, restaurants and pubs. The walk passes the 'Carracks' - rocks where you may see Atlantic Grey Seals, before going inland to Zennor. The trail returns to the coast threading its way through the coves and the old tin mines skirting inland beside Cape Cornwall, and to the pretty fishing village of Sennan Cove. Spend time at Land's End which has natural ambiance with the Atlantic pounding around Wolf Rock and the Long Ships. There are beautiful places to pause at Penberth Cove before reaching Lamorna with its old smuggler's pub, the 'Lamorna Wink'. Passing Penzer point you gain views to St. Michael's Mount and visit the pretty village of Mousehole before entering the busy resorts of Newlyn, Penzance and on past Marazion and Mounts Bay. The coast is deeply indented by the valleys of the Helford and Fal Rivers, whose steep slopes are clad with dense forest. You will need to take a couple of ferries on your day to St. Mawes, which along with Portloe are fascinating fishing villages with great smuggling histories.
Make your own way to St Ives. This beautiful cobble lane fishing village dates back to AD460, when the missionary St. Ia, daughter of an Irish chieftain, landed here and gave her name to the settlement in a similar way to how St. Beda gave her name to St. Bees in Cumbria. Protected from Atlantic storms, St. Ives was once the most important fishing port in Cornwall, but like elsewhere on the surrounding coast, by the beginning of the 20th century, the fish stocks became depleted, and the fishing fleet largely disappeared. However as early as 1811 Turner visited to paint the seascapes and by the late 1880s there were several painters in residence and the town became famous for its vibrant artists' colony. This perhaps reached its heyday during the late 1940s and the 1950s. Today their work can be seen in the St Ives Tate Gallery, with its popular roof restaurant, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Beranard Leach Gallery. A great place for fish & chips and extra nights are recommended. Accommodation: We use two guesthouses in this busy town, one is the 4 star Old Vicarage and the other a boutique B&B called Villamorva. If these are full you may be booked into Carbis Bay 15 minutes walk away.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast as there are some tough up and down and occasionally boggy walking for the next two days, but fortunately the days are quite short in distance and the seascapes are beautiful! Around St. Ives Head, the walk passes St. Nicholas's Chapel (patron saint to seafarers) and a hut that was used for spotting pilchards from the cliffs. As you leave St.Ives the number of walkers rapidly diminishes, as does your pace as the path roller-coasts through a series of steep dips. After the River Cove, you descend to rocks where you can sometimes see seals basking off the rocks. There is then a final steep climb, from where you have to take a path going inland half a mile to the village of Zennor, which has a quaint church, a small museum on Cornish life, a great old pub called The Tinner's Arms. *D.H Lawrence, arrived here in 1916 and wrote 'Woman in Love,' inviting Katherine Mansfield over, but she was frightened by the seagulls and had to leave! Lawrence who had failed to pass the army medical and was married to a German, raised local suspicions. They presumed that the pair were spies signaling German submarines and they were officially ordered to leave! You might want to look out for the standing stones, ringed 'quoits' and other prehistoric remains on the moors above the village. Accommodation: Our accommodation The Tinners Arms is the only Inn in Zennor and was built in 1271 to accommodate the Masons who constructed St Senara's church which is famous for its mermaid.
The first part of the walk is quite easy, following the cliff tops around the old lead and tin mines, through the detritus of hundreds of years of activity. You pass Levant Mine that closed down in 1919 after an accident there killed 31 miners. However there is a restored steam engine which can be visited in the summer. Next is Crowns Mine at Botallack perched on the rocks. The path skirts inland beside Cape Cornwall, once thought to be England's most westerly point, until they worked out that it was in fact Lands End. Continuing you pass Carn Gloose where a walled pit could be a Neolithic shrine. Then it is past the village of St. Just which has a square where 'miracle plays' were performed in Mediaeval times, then past the beach at Whitesand Bay to Sennan Cove, a pretty fishing and tourist port. Accommodation: We stay at The Old Success Inn which dates back to the 17th century.
This is a short walk today because there is so much to see and do in Penzance if you didn't get a chance to do it all the day before and also in Marazion. The town claims to be the oldest town in Britain and was called Ictis by the Romans which goes someway to indicate that the area was a trading post for tin in ancient times. The town has an active community of artists whose work you can see in many of the galleries. We recommend a visit to the iconic St Michael's Mount. Accommodation: Mount Haven Hotel - A highly commended boutique hotel, with interesting views of the Mount.
Today takes you from Mounts Bay with St. Michael's Mount sitting in the sea. This old abbey now a manor house has an ageless appeal and was traditionally linked to Mont St. Michel in Brittany. Round the corner from the Bay follow along some interesting sections of cliffs, with the remnants of tin mines. There are some beautiful bays and inlets associated with smuggling and then you will reach Porthleven, a pretty fishing and boating harbour that is closed by wooden baulks during storms. You can enjoy fine seafood at the inn or venture along the quay to a famous seafood restaurant. Accommodation: Stay in the 4 star Harbour Inn by the quayside with old stone flags on the floor and oak beams and wood paneling in profusion. The bar retains the ambience of an old fisherman's pub, and offers friendly service in traditional surroundings. If you are here on a Saturday there will often be entertainment as well.
A lovely walk with fantastic scenery throughout the day. You start with a ferry ride from Falmouth to St. Mawes A remote pleasant little yachting harbour at the end of the Roseland Peninsula, which boasts a clover leaf castle built by Henry VIII in 1542. En route pass by Caerhays Castle, designed by John Nash, and its beautiful gardens. Then through Veryan noted for its thatched round houses. You arrive at the understated beauty that is Portloe, a tiny sheltered harbour with old streets. Accommodation: Caradale B&B on the cliff tops beyond Portloe, a unique shell fishing hamlet on the almost unknown Roseland peninsular.
