Baptism by fire, Part II
By John Quirk
In Part 1, with crew unavailable, the author, a relative greenhorn, chose to singlehand – in late October – his 1968 Hinckley Pilot 35, Sea-Finn, from Oyster Bay, Long Island, to Midcoast Maine. He reached Kennebunkport, and it wasn't pretty, but he'd learned enough to get him – hopefully, in Part 2 – to Seal Cove Boat Yard, in East Penobscot Bay. And, if the offshore muse calls, to landfalls over the horizon.

It was Oct. 31, and the good news was that I was in Kennebunkport. Looking at the NOAA forecast, I wasn't going anywhere for the next two days. The forecast that day called for rain all day, 10- to 12-foot waves, and 25- to 30- mph gusts. And the following day featured a near-hurricane forecast of 17- to 20-foot waves and 65-mph winds. Holy crap!
Not having any electricity, or a restroom, at the marina, I would have to figure out something for the next three days. The weather started to turn colder, and at least I brought my son's Boy Scout sleeping bag. That morning, I walked down to the Nonantum Resort, hoping it would be open, and it was. For the next three days, this would be my home-away-from home in the morning. I would sit in the lobby and have coffee, charge my phone, and wait for the breakfast buffet to open at 8 a.m. The two maintenance workers would greet me with, "Hey, Strong-Island" – apparently hip-hop slang for Long Island.
I spent the day doing laundry, and having a lobster-roll lunch at Alisson's Restaurant, where I picked up a copy of Points East. In Final Passages, I read about the tragic death of biomedical engineer Sandra Tartaglino – a world-class competitive sailor, well known in the high-performance racing world – and knew I was in over my head.
I called Sam Vaughan, co-owner of Seal Cove Boatyard, about getting a captain for the rest of the way. He called area skippers, but not one was interested in a November delivery. And then I read a feature story in Points East – "A Late Season Delivery" by Capt. Michael L. Martel – which gave me the confidence to continue by myself. Two more days on the water and I would be done.
That night the wind started to pick up, and white caps were in the channel. I didn't sleep much because the boat was getting lifted up and slammed down. The first time this happened, I thought the sailboat across from me had broken loose and hit my boat. I was worried about my lines, and must have checked them four times during the night.
The next morning, I learned that half the town had lost power. I walked down to the entrance of the channel and could see waves crashing over the jetties, and that a green can had come loose. That storm was so strong that even the lobstermen didn't go out.
The next day's forecast wasn't bad. High tide was at 3 a.m., and I wanted to take advantage of it. I had an early dinner at the Hurricane Restaurant (I recommend the double-cut pork chop and bread pudding) and went to bed. I awoke at 4:30, and got under way at 5:00.
I took it slow, with a spotlight in hand, and soon I was between the breakwaters. At 5 a.m., with clear skies, the stars were unbelievable. Leaving Kennebunkport, the waves were about four feet, and the wind had subsided. My goal this day was to get to Boothbay Harbor, because no marina had picked up the phone, and my offshore mentor, delivery skipper Winslow Furber (see "Baptism Under Fire: Part 1," October/November issue) recommended the public docks in the inner harbor there.
The forecast was favorable, and I hoped to have two straight days of calm water. But it was cold, and I had 52 miles to go this day. It was a straight run close to the Maine shoreline, and it was pretty much uneventful, but for a couple of whales and a school of dolphins.
Twelve hours later, I entered the inner harbor, circled it, and asked two men shrink-wrapping a boat if I could tie up at the public docks. They said there was no room, so I seemed to be out of options. I could grab a mooring, but with no head and barely enough food for tomorrow, I didn't want to do that. I circled the marina again, and spied a brand-new, obviously private floating dock with two boats in slips. I could tie up on the outside and have plenty of room to leave in the morning.
I circled again and decided to go for it. I brought the bow line to the cockpit, and put the fenders in place, but I'd forgotten about the stern line, which I'd cleated and coiled on a winch. I pulled alongside the dock on my starboard side, jumped off, and ran to cleat off the bow line. I went to go grab the stern line, and it wasn't there. I'd left it on the port side winch, and the stern was starting to blow off the dock.
Back aboard again, I put the boat into reverse and threw the stern line toward the dock, which I missed. Then the line got caught in the prop. When the stern was about four feet from the dock, the prop spit out the stern line. I grabbed it, jumped onto the dock, and tied off the stern to a cleat. I'm sure anyone watching this fiasco had a good laugh. After pouring myself a Dark 'n Stormy, and getting out of my gear, I walked up to the house above the dock. I asked a woman there if this was her dock? She said it wasn't; that she was the property manager. I asked if I could stay on the dock until the morning, and she said it shouldn't be a problem. "Just leave me your phone number and I'll ask my boss."
Her name was Beth, and her boss was Paul Coulombe, owner of Pinnacle vodka – and the yacht/golf club at which I was docked. Beth would not take my credit card for the slip. This was the second time on the trip that a marina/yacht club had refused to take my credit card. As I was getting ready to go to sleep, two Boothbay police officers appeared on the dock with flashlights and asked what I was doing there. I told them I had permission from the property manager, and, thankfully, they believed me.
For the last leg, I had to leave very early because of daylight saving time (falling back an hour). Instead of shooting for a 5 p.m. arrival, I would have to be at Seal Cove by 4 p.m. I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to start the engine and to have a cup of coffee. It was really cold, and the engine took a couple of starts to kick over. I followed a lobsterboat out of the marina, with spotlight in hand to spot for moorings and lobster buoys.
It was a clear pre-dawn morning, with an awesome array of stars, and the sea was calm. I went past Squirrel Island, then through Fisherman Island Passage. I wanted to keep close to shore so I wouldn't have to go too far south just to go north again. I was going toward Metinic Island, from which I could go straight up Penobscot Bay. As I entered the bay, I sensed the finish line was around the corner. The weather was good, and the only worry I had was lobster buoys.
As I passed Vinalhaven, then North Haven, I could see Cape Rosier ahead. By 3 p.m., I could see the entrance to Seal Cove, at Harborside. I'd made it. Thinking back on all the things that could have gone wrong, and didn't, I was proud of myself. At times, I questioned my sanity on this trip.
I could now see the Seal Cove dock and moorings. I took out my phone to call Sam Vaughan to tell him I was here. All of sudden I slammed into something and was jolted into the wheel. I was so busy making the phone call, I never saw the markers for entering Seal Cove Marina at low tide. Luckily, Bob Vaughan, Sam's father and co-owner of the yard, saw me run aground, took it in stride, and told me, "You're in good company: Both Bobby and Ted Kennedy got stuck on it, along with Nelson Rockefeller and Walter Cronkite." The locals call it Kennedy rock. I gave Bob my halyard, and he pulled me off. I was embarrassed because of hitting the rock, and upset because I thought I'd damaged my boat. However, Bob and Sam assured me that there was no damage, Sam adding, "It's a Hinckley."
I learned a lot about myself on this trip – about what I could accomplish, and how not to push the envelope. Safely back home, I learned that the 28' sloop Blue Dog (ex-Tally Ho!), skippered by 72-year-old Peter Farrell – a lifelong seafarer from Babylon, N.Y. (www.sailnet.com/ threads/sailor-peter-farrell-sv-tally-ho-missing.331912) – had gone missing during the same timeframe as my delivery. This made me realize how fast things can go wrong.
Was I just more lucky than other sailors? Probably, because I know I didn't have as much experience. Would I consider myself conservative by limiting risks? Yes. When a couple of my friends wanted to go with me, I brushed them off because I didn't want to put them in harm's way. The people I met along the coast of New England? They couldn't have been more hospitable.
Would I do this trip solo again? Probably not. But, if I had to, I wouldn't go in late-October and November. Too many things can go wrong in late-fall conditions. Bottom line: By doing this alone, I'd become a better sailor.
John Quirk resides in Oyster Bay, N.Y. He learned how to sail later in life after moving out of New York City. John sails, and is still restoring Sea-Finn, his 35-foot, 1968 Hinckley Pilot. "I've worked two jobs for the past 30 years, and recently retired from New York City Sanitation Department," John says. "Buying this boat was kind of my retirement gift."


Physicians know there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. But actually, there is a third: retirement. It's that period right before death, and right after taxes.
And since you are going to retire some day, you might as well enroll in your employer's retirement plan (or your retirement plan if you are self-employed).
But before you do that, you should get the answers to a few questions about each plan.
What kind of plan is it? There are two main types of plans. The most common type are defined contribution plans that start with a "4", like 401k, 403b, 401a, 457b and 457f. (All of these number/letter combinations refer to sections of the Internal Revenue Code.) Defined contribution plans limit the amount you can contribute. On the other hand, "defined contribution" plans limit the amount of money you can expect to receive at retirement. These may include "pension" plans like a cash balance plan.
Can I control how much money goes into it? A no-brainer question, right? Wrong. If you have a 401a or 457f plan, your employer makes the contribution and they decide how much goes into the account.
What is the maximum amount I can contribute each year? For most defined contribution plans, the limit will be $17,500 per participant in 2013 with a $5,500 "catch up" allowance for physicians aged 50 and over. Defined contribution plans, however, may allow you to contribute more than $100,000 per year.
Does it have a Roth component? The answer to this question really depends on the language in your plan (see your Summary Plan Description) but many 401k's and 403b's have a Roth component. Generally speaking, it's a mistake for physicians to contribute to the Roth portion of the plan, or to do an in-plan Roth conversion.
Who is the custodian? The word "custodian" means "the company who is holding your money." For example, your money might be with Fidelity or Vanguard or Principal or TIAA-CREF. Every custodian has strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies.
Who is responsible for the investment decisions? In some cases, your employer might appoint an advisor to manage your money. In other cases, the onus is on you to take care of it.
What investment options are available? Some plans offer as few as six options, while others offer dozens or hundreds of options. Some will offer actively managed mutual funds while others offer low-cost index funds from Vanguard or even exchange-traded funds. Choosing the right options will help you earn a better return and save money on investment-related expenses.
If I leave this employer, can I rollover my money to an IRA? Some deferred compensation arrangements, like Section 457 plans, may not allow you to make an IRA rollover and may require you to take all of your money with you when you retire or move on to another job.
What happens if my employer becomes insolvent or goes bankrupt? Certain plans—including 457b and 457f plans—may have a "substantial risk of forfeiture" that puts your entire account balance at risk, regardless of how it is invested. In these situations, you could lose all of your money if the employer goes bankrupt, so read the fine print before you enroll in the plan.
If you do a little due diligence before you invest, you can save yourself a lot of time and money after you have made the decision to enroll in the plan. Ask your H.R. person for a Summary Plan Description and read it before you sign up.

by Jan Fransoo, IKF President
The IKF, along with about 100 other international sports federations and about 2000 delegates just finished a week of intense meetings and networking at the SportAccord Sports and Business Summit. I had the privilege of representing the IKF, together with our newly elected Secretary General Joana Faria and CEO Tilbert La Haye.
At the SportAccord Summit, we attended a number of formal meetings. The most relevant for us this year was the Annual General Meeting of the International World Games Association IWGA. The IWGA governs The World Games, the top-level multi-sport games at which korfball has been included since 1985. The IWGA held elections for their Executive Committee. President Perurena (Canoe / Spain) was reelected along with a number of other officers. I was newly elected into the IWGA Executive Committee, and I intend to contribute to the development of The World Games, sharing the perspective of korfball. The IWGA Executive Committee also announced that korfball will once again be included within the program of The World Games. We obviously very happy and proud of this, and thank the IWGA for their confidence in the IKF. Our proposal to include beach korfball as an invitation sport has not yet been accepted, but we are in discussion with the Birmingham Organizing Committee to find common ground how a beach korfball showcase could benefit the BOC.
We further attended the General Meetings of the Association of IOC Recognized Sports Federations ARISF and the Global Association of International Sports Federations GAISF, and had a bilateral meeting and attended a workshop with the IOC. It is good to note that overall grassroots sports participation has become more prominent on the Olympic and general sport agenda, and as part of this we were able to showcase korfball at the Sports Festival that was linked to this year's Summit. We very much appreciate the efforts of the Thailand Korfball Association, the Chinese Taipei Korfball Association, the National Taiwan Normal University, and the Chinese Taipei Sports and Education Ministry to make this happen.
However, we are also confronted with more and more challenges affecting sport in general, and having an impact on our work and budgets. First, as you know from the sports and general media, there are many challenges in the fight against doping. As a consequence of this, WADA is working with the IKF to help us remain compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code. Consequently, the IKF will need to further invest in the fight against doping, and we will require also more efforts, in particular from our A and B countries, to regulate, educate, and invest more in the fight against doping in their national leagues. Second, the new GDPR data privacy legislation will unfortunately lead to more bureaucracy that each of our member countries taking part in international competitions will experience. We are trying to implement this in the simplest possible way, but undoubtedly this will also affect us. At the Summit, we met with WADA and were informed by GDPR specialists to help us tackle both of these challenges in the most effective way.
With all these increasing costs and commitments, it is crucial that we collectively find a way further increase the budgets of the IKF. There is a need to grow our professional staff due to the increase of our competition calendar and the increased external requirements. There is a need to further invest in development and marketing. We are seeking to obtain this additional funding from commercial parties, but we can only do this in close collaboration with our leading countries. If you are ready to think along, do not hesitate to get in touch.
We have a great sport and with our gender-equal principles we are more timely than ever. This is an opportunity we need to seize now.

soldier march exercise
In many countries, the ability to complete loaded marches is a core military skill, especially for infantry and special forces. As part of the pre-selection for the Foreign Legion's GCP section, legionnaires must complete a 30 kilometers (19 mi) speed march in under 4 hours in full combat gear, including boots, carrying assault rifle, helmet, two full canteens of water and 22 kilograms (49 lb) load. In certain climates, the use of loaded marches is limited, since they would result in high casualty rates through heat exhaustion. The exercise, which involves more than 15,000 service members from 10 countries, started March 2 in Norway and was scheduled to wrap up on March 18 but ended a week early. The aim of the footwear protocol is two-fold: The footwear protocol is divided into three distinct time periods which are discussed below: The principles outlined above are rather general in nature and other important factors to consider when implementing these principles include: Physical Training takes place across a spectrum of activities such as circuit training, running, sports (termed 'physical exercise/sports lessons') and Loaded Marches, patrolling and map-reading exercises (termed 'physical training').

In an attempt to curb the coronavirus' spread, the Pentagon has shuttered recruitment centers, restricted travel, and canceled or significantly scaled back training events, from drills to large-scale exercises, like Exercise Defender- Europe 2020.This has led some to question what may be the long-term implications of the crisis on future military readiness. A loaded march is a relatively fast march over distance carrying a load.

Our relationship with the Kingdom of Thailand remains one of our most important in Southeast Asia. They relate to: The differing tasks and roles of military personnel should be considered when developing a Loaded March training programme. • Loaded March training should keep the different tasks/roles/objectives required in the group in mind (which may mean using ability group levels); • During training, the weight of the pack should be based on a percentage of body weight; and. The above guidelines will not be appropriate for groups that move with (extremely) heavy packs. The co-ordination of physical training provided by military fitness instructors is formalised in the various policies and protocols, produced by the appropriate military school of physical training (see Military Fitness Policies and Protocols page), which contain the physical training objectives and the practical aspects with respect to planning and the contents of the physical training programme.

Don't let fondant or marshmallow fondant daunt you when it comes to this easy ghost cake for Halloween!
When I was working on my daughter's Nightmare Before Christmas cake, I had an interesting moment of realization. I had rolled out the white marshmallow fondant and was placing it over the one layer of cake. When I did so, I was left with this ripply, wavy, almost cloth like appearance. Of course I had to smooth it out and such, but looking at the cake in that form reminded me of ghosts and Halloween. And this my friends is how the easy ghost cake was formed!
Seriously, you literally roll out a piece of fondant of your choosing (homemade or store-bought) and drape it over your cake. Bam! Done! Okay, you will probably need to trim a bit but this ghost cake is literally the easiest piece of work I have ever done. I was prepared to pre-cut waves into the ghost frame before placing onto the cake, but just the way the fondant sits on top of a cake allows for a natural ghost-like look. I had some leftover black fondant from my previous cake, but you could just set of your white fondant aside and mix in food colouring. EASIEST MARSHMALLOW FONDANT CAKE EVER!
As easy as it was, I always have hiccups. I don't think I can have an easy day in the cake world.
My fridge was pretty darn bare. Canadian Thanksgiving was coming and I was emptying my fridge so I could do a big shop to store everything. I didn't realize I had JUST enough eggs left to bake a cake, or the fact that my milk was no longer good… Being lazy and not wanting to go to the store (or just the fact it was a Sunday and that meant busy parents' shopping) I rummaged through my pantry and found some coconut milk and cream! Perfect! I easily customized my vanilla cake recipe into a mild coconut cake recipe. I say mild because the coconut flavour wasn't "knock off your socks" in flavour, but subtle and refreshing. I really loved the flavours and paired with some leftover Swiss meringue buttercream, it worked out perfectly!
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the coconut oil and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 min. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to combine well before adding the next. Add vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut cream, milk, and vinegar. Set aside.
Grease two 6-inch round pans. Divide batter evenly into both pans.
Once cool, assemble layers by placing buttercream in between each. Cover cake with desired amount of buttercream. Roll out fondant and drape over cake, cutting off excess where necessary and adjusting fondant to give it a "ghostly" look. For the eyes and mouth, colour the fondant black, roll out and cut out desired eye and mouth shapes. Using water of vodka, brush the backs of the eyes and mouth with liquid and stick to white fondant.
My other hiccup was thinking my cake layers were cool… Don't rush this! I left the kitchen for 5 minutes and came back to buttercream dripping out the sides of the cake… Thankfully the fondant would cover any of this mess but it still had me scrambling. I would have loved for the ghost cake to be higher, too, but when you only have enough eggs for one batch of cake you have to make due! I did slightly shape the top layer of cake for a more rounded look for the ghost head. Had the cake been taller, I would definitively have rounded the cake shape more to give it more of that traditional ghostly look.
What an adorable cake and it is perfect for someone who hasn't worked with fondant before. They don't have to worry about getting it smooth around the cake. This is adorable.
Thank goodness for your daughters cake, cause this is the cutest little ghost. I have never worked with fondant, but this looks too cute not to try. Love your cake tray too!
Thanks, Amy! I thought he came out super cute (and not scary at all!) I have an addiction to buying cake stands so I am happy to finally show this one off.
This is so cute!! Perfect for a Halloween party!
This is just too cute, love it! I have zero experience with fondant but this is encouraging, I think I might have to give it a go!
I definitely have very limited fondant skills but this is super easy!
This is so dang cute Kacey!
This looks right up my alley!! AND appropriate for my skill level. :-) Love, love, love this idea.
Haha, I will convert everyone to fondant cake decorating!
I am not much of a cake decorator~when they were passing out that talent, I missed out. I think I might actually be able to handle this cute ghost, though.
I love this, what a great idea - especially for someone who isn't used to working to fondant (like me!).
I am hearing that from many people! Glad I could help out!
What a cute little ghost!
This is such a cute little cake! I LOVE it!

The farcical comedy focuses on Prudence and Bruce, two Manhattanites who are seeking stable romantic relationships with the help of their psychiatrists, each of whom suggests the patient place a personal ad. Bruce is a highly emotional man who tends to cry easily, a trait Prudence sees as a weakness. Their first meeting proves to be disastrous and the two report back to their respective therapists – libidinous Stuart, who once seduced Prudence, and eccentric Charlotte, who stumbles over the simplest of words, references the play Equus as a good source of advice, and interacts with Bruce and all her patients with the help of a stuffed Snoopy. Clearly the two are more troubled than their patients. Charlotte suggests a revised ad, which once again attracts Prudence, but this time she and Bruce manage to get past their initial loathing and discover they actually like each other. Complications ensue when Bruce's jealous lover decides to do everything possible to maintain his status quo.


This weekend was the annual Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, a gathering of grassroots conservative leaders and conservative organizations from across Pennsylvania.
I was pleased to attend this year's event and attend the annual Friday night dinner with keynote speaker Kimberly Strassel.
Events like the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference are important to the Republican cause. Now more than ever we must be energized, united, and dedicated to the mission of liberty as liberals across Pennsylvania and across the United States seek to implement a radical agenda that would change the fabric of our government and society.
I was also pleased to see Superior Court candidates Judge Christylee Peck and Deputy District Attorney Megan McCarthy King address the PLC crowd Saturday morning.
Both candidates are committed to the rule of law, applying the law as written, and ensuring fairness and justice in our legal system without the influence of ideology and politics.
I am sure that is why they overwhelmingly won the 2019 PLC Straw Poll.
I'd also like to draw your attention to an event I am participating in this coming Tuesday at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster on civil discourse in politics. As I have long said, we need to be truthful, policy-based, but also aggressive in our political discourse.
I am looking forward to having this conversation this coming week.

McCain is asking the National Indian Gaming Commission to explain how a firm owned by a non-Indian attorney received a share of tribal casino revenues. Howard Dickstein reportedly received $26 million over six years from the casino owned by the United Auburn Indian Community of California.
The tribe recently ended the arrangement. But Dickstein's firm still receives a flat fee of $80,000 a month.
The Sacramento Bee also reported that Dickstein received $18 million from the casino owned by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation.

Q: Google Maps V3 distance between two points - different values I tried to find a better way to calculate distance between two points on google maps, but the result it wasn't what I expected.
For example, those two solutions which I found here: Calculate distance between two points in google maps V3 are similarly (it produces aprox. 249.3424456 Km - but its wrong because distance between Bacau and Bucharest - Romania - are aprox. 300 Km).
The plnkr link: http://plnkr.co/edit/cv25C6pga0lla7xyBDRO?p=preview
Or:
$( document ).ready(function() {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng({ lat: 46.5610058, lng: 26.9098054 });
var myLatLng2 = new google.maps.LatLng({ lat: 44.391403, lng: 26.1157184 });
var calc1 = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(myLatLng, myLatLng2)/1000;
console.log('calc1 = ' + calc1);

var start = { lat: 46.5610058, lng: 26.9098054 };
var stop = { lat: 44.391403, lng: 26.1157184 };

var rad = function(x) {
    return x * Math.PI / 180;
};

var getDistance = function(p1, p2) {
    var R = 6378137; // Earth's mean radius in meter
    var dLat = rad(p2.lat - p1.lat);
    var dLong = rad(p2.lng - p1.lng);
    var a = Math.sin(dLat / 2) * Math.sin(dLat / 2) +
        Math.cos(rad(p1.lat)) * Math.cos(rad(p2.lat)) *
        Math.sin(dLong / 2) * Math.sin(dLong / 2);
    var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
    var d = R * c;
    return d; // returns the distance in meter
};
var calc2 = getDistance(start, stop)/1000;
console.log('calc2 = ' + calc2);

document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = 'calc1 = ' + calc1 + '<br/>calc2 = ' + calc2;
});

When I try to calculate these distance with google maps web api http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=46.5610058,26.9098054&destinations=44.391403,26.1157184 it tell me that the distance is 299 Km (which is the good value - distance between Bacau and Bucharest - Romania - are aprox. 300 Km).
I prefer to calculate locally rather than to access every time a website but why when I use 'google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween' function or Haversine formula it calculate a wrong value?

A: The solution is to compute locally using distancematrix api: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/distancematrix (Have to enable Distance Matrix from API Dashboard)
var from = new google.maps.LatLng(46.5610058, 26.9098054);
var fromName = 'Bacau';
var dest = new google.maps.LatLng(44.391403, 26.1157184);
var destName = 'Bucuresti';

var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
service.getDistanceMatrix(
    {
        origins: [from, fromName],
        destinations: [destName, dest],
        travelMode: 'DRIVING'
    }, callback);

function callback(response, status) {
    if (status == 'OK') {
        var origins = response.originAddresses;
        var destinations = response.destinationAddresses;

        for (var i = 0; i < origins.length; i++) {
            var results = response.rows[i].elements;
            console.log(results);
            for (var j = 0; j < results.length; j++) {
                var element = results[j];
                var distance = element.distance.text;
                var duration = element.duration.text;
                var from = origins[i];
                var to = destinations[j];
            }
        }
    }

Q: RetrofitError response is null on Android 4.2.2 I'm using Retrofit library in my Android project. I have a rest server and trying to make request to it's login method. If login failed, server returns me 401 error and detailed message in json. My problem is that on my Nexus 5 with Android 5.0 it works fine, I can get the response body from the RetrofitError object. But on other devices, such as Sony Xperia M with Android 4.2.2 on the same request I'm getting No authentication challenges found exception and the RetrofitError.response object is null. Any ideas?
UPDATE
Here is my code. I also use Robospice library.
So this is an interface:
@POST("/auth")
User logIn(@Body UserSignUp userSignUp);

Here is my Robospice request class
public class UserLoginRequest extends RetrofitSpiceRequest<User, Server> {

private UserSignUp userSignUp;

public UserLoginRequest(UserSignUp userSignUp) {
    super(User.class, Server.class);
    this.userSignUp = userSignUp;
}

@Override
public User loadDataFromNetwork() throws Exception {
    return getService().logIn(userSignUp);
}
}

And here is my request listener:
public final class UserLoginListener implements RequestListener<User> {

    @Override
    public void onRequestFailure(SpiceException spiceException) {
        if (spiceException.getCause() != null && ((RetrofitError) spiceException.getCause()).getBody() != null) {
            Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, ((ResponseDto) (((RetrofitError) spiceException.getCause()).getBody())).error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); //On Nexus 5 with Android 5 this line works fine
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Login failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //On other devices I'm getting to this
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestSuccess(User user) {
        //Some code here
    }
}

User is a subclass of ResponseDto class. ResponseDto class has only one public string field called error.

A: Seems that this exception is versions related - it's IOException thrown by HttpURLConnection. Try to change server's behavior or handle the IOException in retrofit.

No authentication challenges found
This error happens beause the server sends a 401 (Unauthorized) but does not give a WWW-Authenticate header which is a hint for the client what to do next.

Q: Combine repeating elements as array in a multidimensional array I was wondering when working with multimedional arrays, if a certain key is the same, is there a way to combine the contents of other keys into its own array if a certain key is the same?
Something like this:
// name is the same in both arrays
array(
    array(
        'name' => 'Pepsi',
        'store' => 'Over here',
        'number' => '1234567'
    ),
    array(
        'name' => 'Pepsi',
        'store' => 'Over here',
        'number' => '5556734'
    )
)

into something like this
array(
    array(
        'name' => 'Pepsi',
        'store' => array('Over here', 'Over here'),
        'number' => array('1234567', '5556734')
    )
)

The defining key is checking if the name element is the same for the other arrays.

A: You can try a function like this.
function mergeByKey($array,$key){
  $tmp_array = array();
  foreach ( $array as $k => $row ) {
    $merged = false;
    foreach ($tmp_array as $k2 => $tmp_row){
       if ($row[$key] == $tmp_row[$key]){
          foreach ( $row as $k3 => $value ) {
            if ($k3 == $key) continue;
            $tmp_array[$k2][$k3][] = $value;
            $merged = true;
          }
       }
       if ($merged) break;
    }
    if (!$merged) {
       $new_row = array();
       foreach ( $row as $k4 => $value ) {
         if ($k4 == $key) $new_row[$k4] = $value;
         else $new_row[$k4] = array($value);
       }
       $tmp_array[] = $new_row;
    }
  }
  foreach ( $tmp_array as $t => $row ) {
    foreach ( $row as $t2 => $value ) {
      if ( count($value) == 1 && $t2 != $key ) $tmp_array[$t][$t2] = $value[0];
    }
  }
  return $tmp_array;
}

passing the array as first parameter and the key as second one.
I'm referencing to your array structure
edited: missed a piece
edited2: if resultin array contains elements with one string, it returns a string and not a array with one element
demo

A: This function uses a given field name as the grouping identifier and turns all other fields into arrays.
Note that single occurrences of your field name will yield arrays with a single element for the other fields. I wasn't sure whether that's a desirable trait, but just making sure you know ;-)
$arr = array(
    array(
        'name' => 'Pepsi',
        'store' => 'Over here',
        'number' => '1234567'
    ),
    array(
        'name' => 'Pepsi',
        'store' => 'Over here',
        'number' => '5556734'
    )
);

function mergeArray($array, $column)
{
    $res = array();

    foreach ($array as $item) {
        foreach ($item as $key => $value) {
            if ($key === $column) {
                $res[$column][$key] = $value;
            } else {
                $res[$column][$key][] = $value;
            }
        }
    }
    return array_values($res);
}

print_r(mergeArray($arr, 'name'));

Demo

A: Thanks to Gianni Lovece for her answer but I was able to develop a much simpler solution based on this problem. Just plug in the $result_arr to browse through and the $key you want to use as basis and it immediately outputs a multidimensional array with non-repeating values for repeating elements (see example below).
function multiarray_merge($result_arr, $key){

    foreach($result_arr as $val){
        $item = $val[$key];
        foreach($val as $k=>$v){
            $arr[$item][$k][] = $v;
        }
    }

    // Combine unique entries into a single array
    // and non-unique entries into a single element
    foreach($arr as $key=>$val){
        foreach($val as $k=>$v){
            $field = array_unique($v);
            if(count($field) == 1){
                $field = array_values($field);
                $field = $field[0];
                $arr[$key][$k] = $field;
            } else {
                $arr[$key][$k] = $field;
            }
        }
    }
    return $arr;
}

For example, in the sample array for this question, running multiarray_merge($mysample, 'name') returns
array(
    'Pepsi' => array(
        'name' => 'Pepsi',
        'store' => 'Over here', // String: Not an array since values are not unique
        'number' => array('1234567', '5556734') // Array: Saved as array since values are unique
    )
);

Here are three tips that are sure to improve your fly fishing.
You would be amazed at how many people when arriving at the water's edge, just set up and start fishing. Before you set up have a walk around the whole water you intend to fish. Look for signs of moving or rising trout such as small rings where fish are sipping, bulges in the water where they are feeding just below or flat patches of water appearing on a rippling surface. Give yourself the best chance of catching by casting where the trout are feeding!
Once you have found your fish you need to present your fly to them so it looks like a real piece of food – a pile of leader and fly line looking like a plate of spaghetti isn't going to work! Check your rod isn't going too far back on your back cast. A nice high stop on your forward cast will help form a tight loop of the line which means a better turnover. If in doubt, get a friend to watch you or video yourself casting to get an idea of where your rod is stopping.
If things are not working for you then keep moving, try different areas of water and try fishing at different depths. Keep moving until you find the fish, don't expect them to come to you!
