Formed in 1895, Brooklawn Country Club was conceived as a private family club. Rich in history, Brooklawn offers a magnificent clubhouse, excellent dining and social programs as well as traditional country club sports such as golf, tennis, paddle, swimming and bowling.
The Club has a strong tradition of giving back to the game through our hosting of local and state championships such as the Connecticut Open and has been the site of numerous amateur and professional championships including the 1974 USGA Junior Championship, the 1979 U.S. Women's Open, the 1987 U.S. Senior Open, the 2003 USGA Girls Championship, and next year, we are proud to be hosting the 2020 U.S. Senior Women's Open!
Brooklawn was one of the first dozen or so clubs to join the United States Golf Association in 1896. The original golf course was a nine-hole layout on what was then rolling farmland. The course was expanded to eighteen holes in 1911. Almost 20 years later, A. W. Tillinghast, one of history's premier golf architects who also designed, among others, the courses at Winged Foot Golf Club, Baltusrol Golf Club, Bethpage State Park and Quaker Ridge Golf Club, redesigned the course into its present form. Over the years, very thoughtful changes have been made with the guidance of course architect, Ron Forse, who specializes in Tillinghast designs. The intent has been to assure that we maintain the integrity of what Tillinghast built, but to also recognize that the modern game is different and certain adaptations are necessary.
Did you know? In 1918, the legendary Gene Sarazen began his golf career at Brooklawn as an apprentice club-maker. His accomplishments included the invention of the Sand Wedge, and he was the first golfer to win all four of golf's Grand Slam events - the Masters, the US Open, the British Open and the PGA Championship. Brooklawn has produced a number of championship golfers including Georgianna Bishop, who won the Women's National Amateur at the Merion Golf Club in 1904 and later the Connecticut State Women's Amateur four times between 1920 and 1927.
Brooklawn's golf course always has provided and always will provide a challenge for all levels of play with the biggest challenge being our sloping greens. "Keep the ball below the hole" is a common recommendation. Sloping putts are the rule, not the exception and it is not unusual to play two or three feet of break on a 30-foot putt. A good lag putter, who can read the greens, is always favored as a partner.
Off the tee, accuracy is more important than distance. Many holes allow the player to run the ball onto the green because there are no bunkers in front to go over, and it makes the course fair for higher handicap players. If one misses the fairway, more often than not, this will demand hitting a fade or a draw on the next shot in order to avoid a greenside bunker or to put the ball favorably back in play.
Brooklawn Country Club entered this century with a wonderful heritage to build upon. We have a strong family culture, great staff and a group of highly committed volunteer members who continue to build upon the fine facilities and traditions that make Brooklawn such a special place.

McIntosh announces MA8900 amp and MCD350 CD player | What Hi-Fi?
These devices feature new technology - including McIntosh's Monogrammed Heatsinks - in the search for better sound.
The High End show in Munich is in full swing, with McIntosh unveiling two impressive new products: the MA8900 amplifier and MCD350 CD/SACD player.
The 200 watts-per-channel MA8900 is the first to feature McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks, which are supposedly super-efficient at heat dissipation. As well as giving the unit an industrial look, they connect to advanced high-current output transistors to eliminate thermal equilibrium lag time.
There's also new, more powerfu,l microprocessors and new components to improve operation.
All the digital inputs are housed in the new DA1 Digital Audio Module. This is upgradeable and can even be replaced by future modules - so your system will never go out of date.
The DA1 has an upgraded 8-channel, 32-bit DAC with six digital inputs. The USB input accepts signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz. On the analogue side, you've one balanced and six unbalanced inputs, plus both a moving coil and moving magnet phono stage for connecting a turntable.
Each input can be renamed, to make things easier still.
Now, the MCD350 CD player. This features a balanced, two-channel, 32-bit/192kHz DAC, with fixed analogue stereo outputs in both balanced and unbalanced varieties. There's also a coax and optical output onboard.
Two-times read-speed means discs are read faster, and their data stored in a buffer memory for better error-correction and tracking.
Both devices are available to order now, and are expected to ship in June. The MA8900 costs $7,500 and the MCD350 $4,500. UK pricing is yet to be announced.

Tuesday Practice Pitch Updates: Lay it All on the Line
The Black & Gold began preparation for the MLS Cup Final on Tuesday morning.
By Pat Murphy@_Pat_Murphy Dec 1, 2015, 4:57pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Tuesday Practice Pitch Updates: Lay it All on the Line
It was rainy and cold on the first day of December, but Columbus Crew SC are just happy to still be playing soccer. After winning the Eastern Conference Championship Sunday at the New York Red Bulls, the Black & Gold now prepare for the Portland Timbers in a chance to win the club's second MLS Cup.
That preparation began on Tuesday, the first day of practice this week for Columbus.
The starters from Sunday's game in New York took it easy on Tuesday, as they typically do the first day of training each week. The rest of the team worked in a small-sided game near the end of training when the media members were allowed into the EAS Training Center.
Once the game finished, the players practiced penalty kicks, just in case Sunday's game reaches that point.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter spoke with those on hand after the completion of practice.
Conversation with Berhalter
Berhalter said it's business as usual this week. He said the focus, as it has been all year, is on the next game and being prepared for Sunday.
The Final will be "a challenge" for Crew SC with all the attacking options Portland has according to Berhalter.
"They got the better of us," Berhalter said of the only meeting this year with the Timbers, a 2-1 loss for the Black & Gold. He said the team remembers that game and they will look at how they can improve from that match.
Berhalter said Crew SC will use the same process they've had the last 12 weeks and they can't vary from that. He said they want to prepare the same way for what, in the end, is just another soccer game.
Columbus hosting MLS Cup is great said Berhalter. He said it's fortunate the way it worked out and that's why you play the regular season. He said they are excited that fans get to see a final at MAPFRE Stadium.
In terms of those fans, Berhalter said he expects more of the same. He said each home game in the playoffs, the volume has increased and he thinks it will be a great atmosphere on Sunday.
Berhalter said the staff will prepare the players in the best possible way so they can take comfort in the fact that they're as prepared as possible. Won't do anything different with it being the Final.
The head coach said going back to a one-game final instead of a two-leg series makes it easier. "There's no second leg. There's no tomorrow." Said the players can go all out.
"We want to just continue to play our type of soccer." Berhalter said the way Crew SC plays can stand up to pressure or excitement.


BINGHAMTON — The New York State Public High Schools Athletic Association Class D boys basketball final four remains a place of agonizing defeat for Panama.
In 2016, the Panthers seemed on their way to a state final — nursing a 13-point lead with five minutes left only to go cold from the field the rest of the way in a 3-point loss.
As painful as that one was for Panama coach Ed Nelson — Saturday afternoon's 61-57 overtime defeat to Section II champion Oppenheim-Ephratah/St. Johnsville could very well top that one.
That's because the Panthers seemed like they had punched their ticket into Sunday's championship game at Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena. They had a 4-point lead with 14 seconds left.
Only one thing could've burned them and that's exactly what happened two seconds away from being in the biggest game of the year.
After Jack Sperry blocked a 3-point try by Zach Mosher, the rebound ricocheted off a couple of hands to Tyler Leon (20 points, 21 rebounds). The senior big man calmly drained the trey and happened to be fouled in the process by Sperry.
Leon drained the free throw — completing the 4-point play to tie the game at 50 and force overtime.
Though Panama scored the first basket of the extra session, the Wolfpack (21-3) scored nine of the next 11 points to seize control for good and earn a shot at the title against Section X champion Harrisville here at 3 p.m. Sunday.
"I don't even know what to say," Nelson said. "Both times here and the basketball gods weren't kind to us. You have to finish and we didn't finish.
Although OESJ bolted to 15-6 lead through one quarter, the Panthers (18-7) clawed their way back into it and only trailed 21-20 at halftime. Cam Barmore had five of his team-high 16 points in the second quarter, while Sperry, Mitch Hovey and Dominic Spontaneo each hit three-pointers during the period.
Though both teams exchanged the lead during the final 16 minutes of regulation, neither led by more than four points.
Panama seemed to be on its way to victory when Sperry drained a three-pointer that broke a 44-44 tie with 1:14 left. After two free throws from Barmore and another from Sperry, the Panthers led by four.
On defending the three at the end instead of just getting out of the way to avoid any potential contact?
"I don't think I had any contact," Sperry said.
Nonetheless, a team that scored 14 first-half points in its season opener improved to the point where it can be called one of the best in the state — reaching the program's second final four.
"I'm proud of these boys," Nelson said.

Black, Predator's director, says that, while he thinks McGregor is a "great guy", he wasn't actually offered the lead in the film.
CONOR McGREGOR: great guy, nice as can be — NOT, however, offered the male lead. Boyd Holbrook holds that distinction. Just sayin'.

Well, these posts are going to be coming in pretty late. I've been away on vacation since Sunday and I'm just now getting to these photos now. Sorry for the brief period of abandonment but I'm back to my regular schedule because reality is going to hit me real soon. I've been enjoying the warm weather, laying by the pool, going to the beach, and of course Disney World! These next few posts will be fairly quick with just a few words on what I've done that day while on vacation. I'll be back in school this week so hopefully I can get these blog posts out! New York Fashion Week is also coming up and I'll hopefully be able to make it to the site at least once during the events!
For this look, I kept it super casual and relaxed. This was my outfit upon first arriving in Florida. We landed in Orlando and took a drive down to Miramar, exploring the surrounding cities. I wore my Aéropostale tank, Levi's, Auxiliary Crossbody, and yes, I joined the dark side, Birkenstocks. With the Florida heat, the real struggle was keeping my hair from frizzing like crazy. It's beautiful here but I'm definitely ready for Autumn in New York City.
I definitely think that I need to start planning out my days hour by hour because with blog stuff, family stuff, relationship stuff, school stuff, work stuff, and interning stuff, I'm gonna lose it. Today's post will be a quick one, just wanted to share with you all my Auxiliary Mini Bega Satchel from Aritzia. I have to say, I'm really impressed with the quality of the leather and hardware. I knew that I needed a small black crossbody, so when Aritzia released this line of handbags, I knew I had to have it. Check out the rest of the photos so you can fall in love with it too!
Oops, I did it again. I purchased another one of the Aritzia Beaudry tops in "shy." It's the perfect violet/plum color, perfect for transitioning towards fall tones. When I noticed it was 50% off, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase my favorite top of the summer once more. I mean, third time's the charm, right? I know I'm not the only one that has fallen in love with a piece so much that collecting it in various hues felt necessary. However, my online shopping has now shifted towards browsing for boots, sweaters, and trust me, I've already bookmarked a couple of pieces I can't wait to introduce to my fall wardrobe!
For this look, I paired this beautiful top with black city crop pants from Aéropostale, my studded Sam Edelman sandals, and my Saint Laurent Paris Sac de Jour. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I'll be doing a "Fall Wish List" post and "Packing List" post for my upcoming trip sometime this week, so stay tuned!

This makes enough to feed a crowd. For a smaller group, halve the recipe and make it in an 8x8-inch pan. Prepare to eat it all within a few days as the moisture from the fruit tends to uncrisp the topping over time.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
For the dough, put 2 cups of flour into the bowl of the food processor along with the brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and cream cheese, and pulse the motor until the mixture is moist and crumbly. Dump everything out into a medium bowl. Measure 3 cups of the mixture and add back to the food processor along with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, egg, and vanilla. Blend just until it starts to come together into a dough. Press the clumps evenly into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes until puffy.
Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Spread the fruit in an even layer over the surface of the partially baked crust.
To the bowl of reserved streusel topping, add the walnuts and cardamom if desired, and work in with your fingers until pebbly. Sprinkle the topping over the surface of the fruit. Bake again for 40 to 50 minutes until the topping is light golden brown. Let cool completely before slicing. Store uncovered for a day or two to keep the streusel from getting soggy.

From Athlete to Power Couple: Patrick and Brittany Mahomes' Love Story
Chase Agnello-Dean/NHLI via Getty Images
by Aurora Starchild January 14, 2023, 12:30 pm 2.7k Views 0 Votes
This NFL couple just beefed up their investment portfolio as NWSL KC Current co-owners, but they also have something that money could never buy. Kansas City Chiefs darlings Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany have quite the love story. The athletic couple has been an item for over a decade since becoming high school sweethearts. Here's a look at Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews' past and how they came to be Mr. and Mrs. Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes: From Scrawny High Schooler to Star NFL Quarterback
A post shared by Patrick Mahomes II (@patrickmahomes)
Patrick Lavon Mahomes II was born in Tyler, Texas on September 17, 1995. His father is Pat Mahomes, a former Major League Baseball pitcher for seven teams including the Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates. At Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas, he began his football career while also playing baseball and basketball. Like his dad, Patrick was a talented pitcher. He was so good that he had to choose between Major League Baseball or committing to Texas Tech as a quarterback.
Mahomes went on to play for Texas Tech, where he set records and was one of the most productive quarterbacks in college football. At Texas Tech, he won the Sammy Baugh Trophy as the best passer in the nation in 2016. He was then selected by the Kansas City Chiefs during the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Since joining the NFL, Mahomes has quickly established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league, winning the MVP award in 2018 and leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory that same year. He also has become a multiple-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro.
Brittany Mahomes: Fitness Guru & Social Media Star
Brittany Mahomes (nee Matthews) was born August 31, 1995, making her almost exactly the same age as her love. Like Patrick, Brittany attended Whitehouse High School, although she was one class ahead of him. She played soccer and was a cheerleader before attending the University of Texas at Tyler. In college, she played soccer while completing a degree in Exercise Science. Brittany graduated in 2017, the same year that Patrick Mahomes was drafted into the NFL.
These days, Brittany is an American personal trainer, fitness influencer, and entrepreneur. She is a certified personal trainer and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. She also owns a fitness company, Brittany Lynne Fitness. Brittany is known for her workout videos, healthy living tips, and motivational posts on social media — as well as being an awesome momma and partner to Patrick.
Patrick Mahomes & Brittany Matthews Fell in Love After a Valentine's Day "Joke"
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews met when he was a freshman and she was a sophomore at Whitehouse High School. According to Life & Style Mag, Brittany recalled their friendship and said it was only platonic at first.
"He just became one of my best friends, like all of his other friends were," she wrote on Instagram. "I never liked him, we were just best friends." Brittany elaborated in a social media video. Their romance blossomed a year later after Patrick's friends goaded him into giving her a rose and a card for Valentine's Day. They were chanting, "Kiss Her, Kiss Her!" and she realized she had a crush on him. Shortly after, they started dating. Luckily for the lovebirds, they also stayed in Texas despite transferring to different universities, which kept them close.
Mahomes Proposed to Matthews on the Same Day He Got His Super Bowl LIV Ring
A decade of true love complete with physical attraction, stamina, and loads of money to basically do whatever you want truly sounds like a recipe for bliss.
Brittany Matthews transitioned from the superstar quarterback's girlfriend to his fiancée on September 1, 2020. After being together for 8 years, Mahomes bent his knee at the Kansas City Arrowhead Stadium. It was the day after Brittany's birthday and Patrick had just received his Super Bowl LIV ring, so the mood was certainly set. But Patrick took it up another notch with a massive floral arrangement and a lit-up sign that said, "Will You Marry Me?" At home, he had a candlelit dinner waiting. It was something out of a fairytale.
"On a day that was meant to celebrate you, you turned it into celebrating us. It's always us, it's always you and me," Brittany posted to Instagram (via Us Weekly). "The words you looked into my eyes and said to me at this moment, will NEVER leave my mind! You made this day perfect, you took my entire breath away and I could not have imagined anything better. I love you, forever and always! Cheers to spending our lifetime together and an inseparable bond."
Daughter Sterling Mahomes Was Born In February 2021
If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes, it gets better. Brittany was actually pregnant when Patrick proposed. Their gender reveal party, like all of their parties, was huge. The final reveal came when a set of pit bulls with painted nails and pink paint on their paws came walking down a paper-covered walkway.
Their daughter Sterling was born February 20, 2021. They got married in March of 2022 in Hawaii. Brittany wore a stunning cut-out corset gown while Sterling served as the flower girl. A carousel of wedding photos posted on Patrick Mahomes' Instagram shows the couple madly in love and standing under an enormous flower arch. Brittany shared a sneak peek video of the location, complete with fire dancers, gorgeous light decorations, and exotic cocktails that would make any straight and sober person want to hop on a plane tomorrow.
Two months later, Patrick posted a set of photos of their family holding a sign that said, "Big Sister Duties Coming Soon."
"Round 2!" Mahomes wrote on Instagram. He and Brittany are beaming from ear to ear, as they are 99.99% of the time. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, there don't seem to be enough pages on the planet to describe the love coming from these high school sweethearts. It's clear they were made for each other.
Son Patrick Lavon III Was Born In November 2022
At some point between the epic Hawaii wedding and baby #2, the Mahones managed to sneak in some time at Coachella. Brittany looked like a supermodel and Patrick was hiding behind enormous glasses. Enough said.
Patrick "Bronze" Lavon III was born November 28, 2022. Brittany kept her fans eagerly awaiting the day after posting a seemingly endless thread of gorgeous silhouette photos to the 'gram. Little baby Bronze hasn't made much of a debut yet beyond glimpses of the tiny bundle that he is, but of course, he is still a newborn.
"Entering 2023, still chasing you….& two kiddos," Brittany wrote on New Year's Eve. Her post bounced back and forth between Patrick and her on their wedding day and when they were high schoolers.
It simply doesn't get any cuter.

Rapid growth of interest in the research of childhood during the last several decades can be regarded not only as an indicator but also as an important factor in the long-term processes of changes, which have radically transformed history as a scientific discipline. With the growth of the history of childhood as a discipline a series of problems neglected until then has been opened, and along the questions about the new sources and equivalent methods of research. This is especially true for historiography in the South East European countries, where social history and historical anthropology is still marginal. The volume comprises 18 contributions to the topic with authors from all countries of the region, focussing on the 19th and 20th century. Topics like "upbringing of female children in Serbia" or "rural childhoods in mountain regions of Austria and Greece" are as well touched as "children and war" and "children and migration." This is the first volume that provides an international readership with an overall picture on childhood in South Eastern Europe.
Description: Growing interest in research on childhood can be regarded as an important factor in what has been learned about the long-term processes of change. Certainly research on childhood has radically transformed history as an academic discipline. This is especially true for historiography in South East Europe, where social history and historical anthropology is still marginal. This book presents 18 contributions; topics include the upbringing of female children in Serbia, rural childhoods in mountain regions of Austria and Greece, children and war, and children and migration. It is the first book to provide an international readership with an overall picture on childhood in southeastern Europe.
Slobodan Naumovic teaches anthropology at University of Belgrad, Serbia. Miroslav Jovanovic is a member of the Association for Social History.

Amanda Palmer single arrives with slew of Kickstarter album options
by Marc Levy | May 19, 2012 | Arts + Culture, Music | 0 comments
Home | Arts + Culture | Music
A free download of the new Amanda Palmer single, "Do It With a Rockstar" is here, and her new album with her new band, The Grand Theft Orchestra — the first in four years, since splitting from her record label — can be pre-ordered at her website.
It was all done through social media and Kickstarter, and Kickstarter is now the only way to get tickets to her otherwise sold-out six-city tour. It's planned as a series of intimate performances alongside a visual exhibit featuring 30 artists, including Shepard Fairey, Kristin Hersh of Throwing Muses, David Mack and Cynthia Von Buhler — all part of a two-year global release plan along with the usual burst of videos and remixes.
"I've been waiting what seems like ages to release this album, trying to figure out how to serve it best, since I think it's the best material I've ever written," Palmer said. "I've been experimenting with self-releasing little projects for a while, learning as I go, and my team knows enough now to self-release a massive record."
Her Kickstarter also offers the album in different formats for a variety of prices, including a deluxe CD and LP version of the album with 7-inch singles, hand-painted turntables and two coffee table books featuring art from the group exhibit. Fans can get "house parties" ($5,000), VIP tickets to private, semi-acoustic performances during the art gallery tour ($300 per ticket) and a chance to spend the entire day with Amanda (solo, or with her band) during which she will wine and dine the fan and stage a day of art involving portrait painting or a professionally shot, fully styled photo shoot with the band and the fan ($10,000). In some ways, Palmer's come a long way since her Harvard Square performance art roots; in other ways, same Amanda Palmer.

Eighteen casemates were constructed to serve as barrack rooms, magazines, shell store and coal store. There was also an open courtyard in the centre of the Redoubt for assembly. Following restoration the Redoubt houses the permanent exhibition on the history of coastal defence in Hong Kong. The Historical Trail preserves various military structures including the Ditch, Torpedo Station, Caponiers, Artillery Barracks, Batteries and Underground Magazines.

Hong Kong Maritime Museum is an independent, private non-profit making museum, which first opened to the public at the historic Murray House, Stanley in 2005 having been founded in 2004 by the Hong Kong Shipowners Association. Having outgrown its premises at Murray House, in 2007 the museum applied to the government for support in expanding and relocating the museum, with approval being reached in 2011. The museum closed on expiry of its lease on Murray House in June 2012 and reopened at its current location overlooking Victoria Harbour on the former Star Ferry Pier for services to Hung Hom, on 26th February 2013. The government has funded most of the cost of relocation and construction of the new museum, leases the premises at a nominal rent of one dollar per annum and will provide some financial support towards operating costs for the first five years of operation. The museum is also supported by generous private donations from individuals and the shipping industry. The new location has a floor space almost ten times greater than at Murray House, enabling it to display over 2,000 exhibits and become a first-class museum. The location is also considered more convenient for educational visits by schools. In June 2013 the museum signed a co-operation agreement with the National Maritime Museum of Chile which is expected to lead to staff exchanges and collection loans between the two museums. Similar agreements are planned with the Australian Maritime Museum and Macau Maritime Museum.
The museum describes over 2000 years of maritime history and the development of Mainland China and Hong Kong. It occupies the whole of the previous public viewing deck and roof viewing deck and the eastern berth of the pier, which it divides into four "decks" A-Deck, B-Deck, C-Deck and D-Deck.
Visitors enter the museum at C-Deck which contain four galleries detailing the early beginnings of the maritime trade in China which includes displays of pottery, ceramics, wooden model ships, paintings, artefacts and displays which illustrate the development of ships, trade routes and Canton Trade, pirates and the creation of Victoria Harbour. One of the highlights of the displays is an interactive digital scan of "Pacifying the South China Sea", a painted silk scroll illustrating a battle during which General Bailing fought off Cheung Po-tsai, Hong Kong's most notorious pirate.
Moving upstairs to B-Deck, the galleries display a wide variety of maritime themes including China's first maritime modenisation, the development of Hong Kong's shipyards, container port and modern ships, vessels for movement of vehicles and people, including the evolution of ferry services between Hong Kong and Macau, leisure pursuits such as dragon boat racing, the underwater world including a display of diving equipment, models of drilling rigs and cable-laying vessels, instruments,memorabilia and the "sounds of the sea" gallery where visitors can ring ship's bells and sound horns. B-Deck has a viewing gallery with panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and display screens with live feeds of shipping movements in the harbour. This "deck" also has space reserved for special events.
Following a soft launch in February 2016, the museum officially introduced, in April 2016, its HK$4.7 million KM Koo Ship Bridge Simulator, developed in conjunction with Dalian Maritime University, which allows visitors to captain various vessels including a high-speed ferry, container ship and the Star Ferry. For the time being visitors can attend one of four 30-minutes sessions on Saturdays and Sundays with sessions limited to a maximum of 15 people. Students from the Maritime Services Training Institute will attend the sessions on a regular basis to assist visitors to navigate their virtual journey. There is no additional fee to the museum's normal entry charge to participate.
A-Deck is a mezzanine floor which features the Navigation Gallery with displays of maritime communications systems, navigational and meteorological aids and instruments and features an interactive ship's bridge.
"D-Deck" located on the lower floor of the museum is the CSSC Maritime Heritage Centre, educational classroom space and museum offices and is open by appointment for scholars and students wishing to pursue an interest in Hong Kong's Maritime past and present.

Q: Detect first line of text file separately? I am designing a program that will load a text file into different media file classes (Media > Audio > mp3, Media > Video > Avi, etc).
Now the first line of my text file is how many files there are in total, as in
    3
    exmaple.mp3,fawg,gseges
    test.gif,wfwa,rgeg
    ayylmao.avi,awf,gesg

Now that is what is in my text file, I want to first get the first line separately, then loop through the rest of the files.
Now I understand I can simply count how many files are in by using an int that grows as I loop but I want it clear in the file aswell, and I'm not sure how to go about this.
static public Media[] importMedia(String fileName)
    {
        try {
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
            String line = reader.readLine();
            while(line != null)
            {
                //Get the first line of the text file seperatly? (Then maybe remove it? idk)
                //Split string, create a temp media file and add it to a list for the rest of the lines
            }
            //String[] split = s.next().split(",");
        } catch (Exception ex) { System.out.println(ex.getMessage()); }
        return null;
    }

I hope my question is clear, if it TL;DR I want to get the first line of a text file separately, then the rest Id like to loop through.

A: I wouldn't advice using a for-loop here, since the file might contain additional lines (e.g. comments or blank lines) to make it more human-readable. By examining the content of each line, you can make your processing more robust against this sort of thing.
static public Media[] importMedia(String fileName)
{
    try {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
        // Get and process first line:
        String line = reader.readLine(); // <-- Get the first line. You could consider reader as a queue (sort-of), where readLine() dequeues the first element in the reader queue.
        int numberOfItems = Integer.valueOf(line); // <-- Create an int of that line.
        // Do the rest:
        while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) // <-- Each call to reader.readLine() will get the next line in the buffer, so the first time around this will give you the second line, etc. until there are no lines left to read.
        {
             // You will not get the header here, only the rest.
             if(!line.isEmpty() || line.startsWith("#") {
                 // If the line is not empty and doesn't start with a comment character (I chose # here).
                 String[] split = line.split(",");
                 String fileName = split[0];
                 // etc...
             }
        }
    } catch (Exception ex) { System.out.println(ex.getMessage()); }
    return null;
}

A: You don't need while loop to read up to end of file. Read first line and convert it to int than loop through.
static public Media[] importMedia(String fileName)
{
    try {

        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));

        // Get and process first line:
        int lineNo=Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine());

        // Now read upto lineNo
        for(int i=0; i < lineNo; i++){

            //Do what you need with other lines.
            String[] values = reader.readLine().split(",");
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
      //Your exception handling goes here

Surprise! A gender mistake revealed at 33 weeks pregnant
Have you ever been one of those people who think "oh, that could never happen to me?" I certainly have. More specifically, I'm the person whose baby's gender was incorrectly diagnosed!
My husband and I learned last week that, contrary to our belief and the information provided to us over the past five months, our sweet baby number two is not, actually, a boy.
You heard me right. Baby #2 is a she!
Here's the quick version of our story: At about 13 weeks pregnant, I had my end-of-the-first-trimester ultrasound. My doctor's office, with the caveat that it was pretty early, said they were about 75 percent sure it was a boy.
Fast forward two weeks, when my hubs and I (for whom patience is not a virtue) got an elective ultrasound with an ultrasound technician's office and he declared that it was 100 percent a boy. He also called my son's gender at the same time frame, so we trusted him and his opinion. At 20 weeks, I had another ultrasound with my doctor's office. Apparently my little bean had legs crossed and pulled back, so there was no gender confirmation done that day. But we showed the technician the 15 week photos and she, like us, was pretty sure at what we were looking at and said, for sure that's a boy!
Now, here we are, 13 weeks later. My doctor wanted to check my fluid levels (sorry, TMI) and ordered an ultrasound for me last Thursday.
Picture this: My husband, David, and I waltz into the ultrasound room, excited to see our little man. I lay down, the technician squirted the gel all over my stomach, pulled up the image on the television screen and said, "Your baby girl looks perfectly healthy!"
Jigga what?
Baby girl?
David awkward laughed and said, "Ha! You mean our baby boy?"
"Oh no," the technician says, "this is 100 percent a girl."
Crickets.
Several days and one more third-party ultrasound technician opinion later (who, for the record, unanimously agreed that we are 100 percent having a little girl), the shock remains. Our second child, whom we've already named with a boy name, bought boy clothes for and made a boy nursery for is... a girl! That's some crazy news when you're only about five weeks from meeting her, right?!
Crazy, but unbelievably exciting. It's hard to put into words how we feel. First of all, David and I feel so blessed to have a healthy second baby growing and ready to meet us soon. And, while we were beyond thrilled to have another little boy, we are over the moon excited about the fact that she's a little girl. Seriously, what incredible news! It's like this little creature we had no clue existed in the world has been with us the whole time. It's surreal.
For those of you who are wondering, apparently the original gender confirmations were made in error due to some hormone-surged swollen little girl parts. Again, TMI, but it can happen, apparently. So here we are! I'm 33-weeks pregnant and had my son at 38 weeks, meaning that we've probably got about five weeks to find this sweet little girl a name, some clothes and a nursery. But one thing is for certain- she's already got a huge spot in my and David's hearts and in our little family of soon-to-be four.
Have any of you ever had a mistaken gender confirmation?! We keep laughing that at least we found out now and not in the delivery room... but I'm sure that's happened to some of you out there! I'd love to hear your stories!

26th November has always been a day of historic importance not just for a person in legal profession, but also, for any citizen of India. On this day, we celebrate the Constitution Day or the Samvidhan Divas to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. School of Law holds this day to be of great importance, and it became even more significant when Sr (Adv) Mr. Ram Jethmalani had preceded the event as the Chief Guest for the celebrations. Mr. Ram Jethmalani, is a man who needs no introduction. He is the most renowned legal practitioner in the nation, and has assumed office of the Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha. He has been the counsel for innumerable high profile cases with enormous diversity. With extensive experience, Sir has been the face of the legal field for decades now. He has represented a sweep of cases from the high-profile to the most controversial one and holds immense knowledge in various arenas of law, especially, Criminal.
Mr. Nipun Goenka( Managing Director, GD Goenka Group), Mr. Rohit Gujral, (Director, GD Goenka Group), Prof. Dr. Suku Bhaskaran,(President, GD Goenka University), Prof. Dr. S. Shantakumar (Pro Vice Chancellor, GD Goenka University) and Deans of various Schools, Faculty members and students were immensely grateful to have witnessed Mr. Jethmalani interact with them.
He urged the students to look past religious differences at every point. He also mentioned that all religions should unite to fight any odds and represent the country as one. He told us how law students should have the vigour to study law and take law to new heights. Our chief guest had various anecdotes to share and ended the address by reminding us that legal knowledge is useful for any democracy.
Students thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and were really driven to take a leap into the legal world. He patiently answered each question posed to him, with a touch of humour and brought the auditorium to life.

The scientific community is all too familiar with the dangers an influenza pandemic could bring. The politicians and general public are starting to become aware of the issue as well; indeed, one can hardly open a newspaper or turn on the television without hearing about "bird flu." So, what's actually being done to prevent an influenza catastrophe? What are the issues? What can be done?
These are the questions that keep public health officials awake at night, because the answer is always that we're not doing enough. While we may be resigned to the fact that a future pandemic can't be completely prevented, the damage can be minimized. Today, I'll discuss the problems we face, and the proposed solutions to counter them, when it comes to pandemic influenza preparedness.

000192398 520__ $$aTo improve visual tracking, a large number of papers study more powerful features, or better cue fusion mechanisms, such as adaptation or contextual models. A complementary approach consists of improving the track management, that is, deciding when to add a target or stop its tracking, for example, in case of failure. This is an essential component for effective multiobject tracking applications, and is often not trivial. Deciding whether or not to stop a track is a compromise between avoiding erroneous early stopping while tracking is fine, and erroneous continuation of tracking when there is an actual failure. This decision process, very rarely addressed in the literature, is difficult due to object detector deficiencies or observation models that are insufficient to describe the full variability of tracked objects and deliver reliable likelihood (tracking) information. This paper addresses the track management issue and presents a real-time online multiface tracking algorithm that effectively deals with the above difficulties. The tracking itself is formulated in a multiobject state-space Bayesian filtering framework solved with Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Within this framework, an explicit probabilistic filtering step decides when to add or remove a target from the tracker, where decisions rely on multiple cues such as face detections, likelihood measures, long-term observations, and track state characteristics. The method has been applied to three challenging data sets of more than 9 h in total, and demonstrate a significant performance increase compared to more traditional approaches (Markov Chain Monte Carlo, reversible-jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo) only relying on head detection and likelihood for track management.
