Home » Lifestyle » The WHO says the coronavirus isn't airborne, but 239 scientists disagree. Either way, your precautions should remain the same.
The WHO says the coronavirus isn't airborne, but 239 scientists disagree. Either way, your precautions should remain the same.
Nearly 240 scientists signed an open letter asking the World Health Organization to acknowledge that the coronavirus can be transmitted through the air.
A growing body of research suggests that coronavirus aerosols can travel more than 6 feet from an infected person — meaning social distancing isn't enough to stop transmission.
But people who avoid large gatherings, social distance, and wear masks can lower their risk of infection regardless.
An open letter from 239 scientists to the World Health Organization contains an alarming message: "We are concerned that the lack of recognition of the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19 and the lack of clear recommendations on the control measures against the airborne virus will have significant consequences," they wrote.
The letter, published Monday, questions the WHO's stance that the coronavirus spreads almost exclusively via respiratory droplets when a person coughs or sneezes. Respiratory droplets are large — more than 5 microns in size — and relatively heavy, meaning they fall to the ground quickly.
But talking, coughing, singing, or exhaling can also release smaller particles (less than 5 microns) called aerosols or microdroplets. For airborne transmission to occur, these particles have to stay in the air and remain infectious over time. The measles, for instance, can live for up to two hours in an airspace where an infected person coughed or sneezed.
The WHO has said there's no evidence that the coronavirus spreads this way, but a growing body of research suggests otherwise. Studies have shown that microdroplets carrying the coronavirus can linger in the air for several minutes, allowing them to travel more than 6 feet away from an infected person.
That's especially true in crowded, indoor areas without good ventilation. Some scientists have suggested that airborne transmission may have been responsible for coronavirus outbreaks at a choir practice in Washington state and a call center in South Korea.
"Airborne transmission appears to be the only plausible explanation for several superspreading events," the scientists wrote, adding, "people may think that they are fully protected by adhering to the current recommendations, but in fact, additional airborne interventions are needed for further reduction of infection risk."
The signatories called for three interventions to reduce transmission in offices, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. The first two involve ventilation: circulating a steady supply of clean, outdoor air and using filtration systems or ultraviolet lights to remove virus particles from indoor air. The third intervention involves reducing crowds in public buildings and transit systems.
Social distancing and face masks are still strong forms of protection
The current WHO recommendations for reducing coronavirus transmission focus mainly on hand-washing and social distancing. In their open letter, the scientists said these two measures were "insufficient" to protect against airborne transmission.
However, the organization also advises people to avoid crowded places, and it started recommending the use of face masks in public on June 5. So for individuals following the full list of WHO safety recommendations, there's little reason to panic.
Research shows that face masks play a significant role in lowering airborne transmission. An April study in the journal Nature found that surgical masks reduced the transmission of multiple human coronaviruses (not including this new one, SARS-CoV-2) emitted in the form of aerosols from patients in a hospital clinic.
The study also found that prolonged close contact was probably necessary for airborne transmission to occur. That's why avoiding large gatherings and social distancing when outside one's household can protect against this form of transmission.
However, places where groups are unavoidable — like restaurants, offices, or schools — may want to consider new ways to improve their air quality. Scientists have found that UV light can destroy other coronaviruses like SARS and MERS — a sign that it may also work on SARS-CoV-2. The WHO warns against using UV light as a skin disinfectant, but doesn't mention its efficacy as an air purifier.
The WHO has been slow to recognize new science
The WHO has yet to acknowledge that airborne particles can spread the coronavirus outside medical settings.
"Especially in the last couple of months, we have been stating several times that we consider airborne transmission as possible but certainly not supported by solid or even clear evidence," Dr. Benedetta Allegranzi, the WHO's technical lead on infection control, told The New York Times on Saturday.
The agency's latest coronavirus update on June 29 noted that scientists haven't been able to culture the virus from air particles inside hospital rooms. This step, it added, "is critical to determining the infectiousness of viral particles."
But the new open letter argues that air particles pose a risk of exposure "beyond any reasonable doubt."
The debate represents yet another instance in which the WHO has shied away from issuing public-health recommendations based on emerging science.
In early April, just days after the CDC began recommending face coverings in public, the WHO said there was no need for healthy people to wear masks.
Then last month, the WHO's technical lead for the coronavirus, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, suggested that asymptomatic spread of the coronavirus was "rare." The statement conflicted with a spate of recent research suggesting that asymptomatic spread played a major role in coronavirus transmission. The WHO later walked back its remarks, saying there was a "misunderstanding."

So how would you celebrate if you'd just won your area's most prestigious amateur golf title?
"Making up homework," said Chattanooga Christian School senior Lake Johnson, who missed some class time to play in the Chattanooga TPC, which he won Oct. 5 at Council Fire.
"I'm a little behind, but it's worth it," he said.
In the morning semi-final match, Johnson held off a rally by Men's Metro and Brainerd Invitational champion Matt Robertson for a 2-and-1 win. Then, that afternoon, Johnson broke fast and eased to a 7&5 win over Heritage High School junior Ben Rebne in the first TPC title match to feature two high-schoolers.
Rebne got to the final with a morning semifinal win over former Men's Metro champion Cody Godfrey (6&4).
Next up for Johnson – the Tennessee Junior Cup matches, Oct. 18-19 at The Grove in College Grove, TN, then, in November, making formal his commitment to play his collegiate golf for UT-Chattanooga and Coach Mark Guhne.
Guhne would doubtless have liked what he saw of Johnson in the title match – birdies on five of the first six holes and a 3-up lead. For the 12 holes he played in the final, Johnson was 5-under-par.
In the semi-final, though, Johnson came closer to stubbing his toe than he did at any point in the championship. He was 4-under-par and 4-up on Robertson through 13, but then dropped three straight holes – he failed to get up-and-down from just off the green at the par-3 14th, lost the par-4 15th to Robertson's birdie and lost the par-4 16th when his approach found a hazard.
That's what happened at 17, where Robertson conceded the hole and the match after misfiring from the tee.


Owen Tippett had an empty-net goal and two assists to power Saginaw over the Soo Greyhounds 7-5 for a 3-0 lead in their second-round playoff series.
Cole Coskey, DJ Busdeker, Bode Wilde, Brady Gilmour, Camaryn Baber and Cole Perfetti also scored for the Spirit, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the first period.
Joe Carroll led Sault Ste. Marie with two goals, while Morgan Frost, Barrett Hayton and Jaromir Pytlik also scored.
The Greyhounds need a win at home Thursday night to keep their season alive and force a fifth game back in Saginaw.
Other Tuesday night OHL action included, Ottawa winning 8-5 in Sudbury and Oshawa stopping Niagara 4-1.
London will have a chance to sweep the Storm out of the playoffs Wednesday with a win in Guelph.

Aside from keeping your paddles clean with water, using the best ping pong paddle cleaner also helps to add tackiness to the rubber and keeps them last long.
How often do you clean your ping pong paddle?
Which is the best way to clean it?
You only use water to clean, don't you?
If you are here and wonder these questions, we will showcase the best ping pong paddle cleaner to keep your racket fresh as well as maintain its efficiency at best.
Make sure you follow our guide carefully since making your racket clean and dust free is the second important thing after buying a great paddle to play.
Why cleaning the paddle makes a difference?
How to clean your paddle?
Are there other ways to clean?
Before going into the details of the best cleaning choices for you, it is necessary to understand the importance of having a clean ping pong paddle.
Have you realized how well a new paddle works compared to an old one with dust?
The rubber on the new paddle always has a springiness and better gripping capacity. When it hits the ball, it transfers a clean shot to put the ball where it is supposed to go.
If the rubber becomes worn, the paddle will be smoother, and its accuracy goes down.
Accumulations of dust on the paddle also prevent the action due to inconsistency in the grip of the surface. The dust even leads to early deterioration of the rubber material.
That's why you should clean your paddle after each use to get the best results.
Cleaning your ping pong accessories is mandatory, and you have to do as often as you can depending on how often you play.
As outlined above, you should clean the ping pong racket after every use to lessen the possibility of any issue and keep it stand the test of time.
If you store the paddles for a while without using, it is okay to clean it before starting the game. However, the best thing is to do once or twice in 3 to 4 months to avoid too much dust.
Or remember the last time you cleaned it and decide whether it is the right time to perform it again.
The most crucial thing when it comes to cleaning the ping pong paddles is the safety. It is because no one wants to damages them permanently.
Now, we will show you the easiest and simplest way that is proven by the International Table Tennis Federation.
The first and foremost thing is to use a nylon brush to remove all the debris from the paddle. This lessens the chance of any issue that might happen after that.
Carry out slightly and not too hardly to avoid scratching rubber on the paddle's surface.
Fill a small bow with bottled water, then dip a sponge in it and squeeze.
The sponge should be wet enough to gather dust and dirt, yet not too wet to make your paddle a full bath.
Hold the racket so that its head is facing the floor.
Next, start cleaning its surface from one edge to another edge by rubbing the sponge from base to the head.
Remember to follow the pattern when you shave to stop the dust from preventing.
Continue rubbing the surface until both rubbers are clean.
When finishing, put the paddle down on another clean surface or a table and let it dry completely. Once it is totally dried, place it back in the protective case.
Investing a good case is a nice idea because it prevents the paddle from any physical damage as well as prolonged sunlight or even the air surrounding. And it is one of the most efficient ways to preserve the paddle and rubber.
Remember to clean the handles since they easily get dirty. Besides, the combination of sweat, body oils and other contaminants from your hands can damage its integrity.
In case you think that the rubber is too old, you can read our post on how to replace ping pong paddle rubber to know more.
Aside from using the water to cleanse the ping pong paddles, there are other conventional methods to follow.
If your paddle comes with a pimpled rubber, you should avail a toothbrush to get into hard-to-reach places.
All you should do is to dampen the toothbrush in plain water or a rubber cleaning solution. Then clean the paddle thoroughly to maintain both the rubber pimples and tips, giving a good grip afterward.
Once it is done, wipe out the residue and let it air dry.
It sounds crazy when you blow the ping pong paddle and wipe with your hands. However, this way is quite useful.
Keep in mind that you only apply it when there are no other cleaning solutions.
If you wonder whether using alcohol is okay or not, the answer is YES.
Before cleaning, you need to remove any loose debris or dust with a nylon brush. Then dip a soft cloth in methylated spirits, rub over the rubber, and allow it to air dry.
This method is also necessary to add tackiness.
One more excellent way that can add stickiness of the rubber is to use olive oil. But avoid using too much or the racket tends to be slippery while impacting with the ball.
Put the right amount of oil in a small bowl. Dip a toothbrush and start scrubbing the paddle's surface. Then use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe the excess oil and let it dry.
Most of these products come in a foam type or a spray. And they are said to enhance the actual rubber's natural coarse state.
Apply the cleaning solution based on the instructions on the surface and then use a sponge or a brush with soft-bristle to rub. Next, wipe it off with a clean cloth or paper towel and allow it to dry.
REMEMBER to choose wisely because some might include harsh ingredients that damage the racket.
So, keep reading our article to find out the top cleaning solutions.
In addition to the cleaning methods above, you should pay attention to some vital points when cleaning the paddles.
NEVER use detergents or any other harsh chemicals.
Some tend to use these substances to take off stains or grimes from the surface.
But this action will damage it a lot because the abrasive chemicals in such products are powerful to cause harm, even if availed in a small quantity. It also decreases the lifespan of the paddle.
One more important thing is not to use your bare hands while cleaning the racket. Although some products affirm that they are totally safe for skin contact, it is best to wear gloves to protect yourself.
Our first choice of the best cleaning product for your ping pong racket is the Butterfly 8181.
This kit includes Butterfly Spin Refresh, a rubber sponge, and cleaning tips to clean your paddle before and after use.
It helps to move away dust and other debris from the surface and keep a good "pull" on the paddle. After cleaning, the rubber will look shiny and leave the greater grip, allowing you to perform better shots.
Aside from keeping the rubber clean and alive, it also maintains the longevity of the rubber.
If you haven't used and cleaned your paddle for a long time, make sure to use the blue side of the sponge to carry out a deep clean. Then use the yellow side to clean regularly.
Another excellent choice to care your racket as well as improve its rubber lifespan is the MightySpin ping pong paddle cleaner.
This set comes in a compact, handy bag including a cleaning solution and a sponge. It helps to remove the slippery layer off the paddle and bringing the grip and stickiness back to the rubber.
You even use this product for the old paddles to bring their performance back.
From the moment you avail it, you will be satisfied with every swing, a backhand, and overhand smash while playing.
And if you have any complaint, just contact the brand and get a 100% money-back guarantee.
The next excellent choice for maintaining your paddles in a perfect condition is the Killerspin rubber cleaning spray.
The rubber cleaner spray bottle is made in Germany from water-based ingredients. It is also VOC free and antistatic. That's why it easily removes oil and dirt and leaves a clean surface every time.
The kit has a 2-sided sponge for applying the cleaner, moving away dirt, and cleaning residue effectively.
Make sure you spray the right amount on the sponge to remove the dirt from the rubber and then refresh its grasp and tackiness.
Since it is made from a popular Chicago-based company, you are guaranteed to get the premium-quality product.
Let the JOOLA Turbo rubber cleaner spray help you deal with your dirty paddles!
The 250-milliliter anti-static rubber cleaner spray bottle preserves and protects the rubber of the racket effectively. It is also helpful to remove dirt, dust, and oil to restore the rubber.
By using regularly, you can expand the durability and firm grip of the racket.
Since this product doesn't come with a sponge, you must buy it separately. Make sure to look to the JOOLA cleaner sponge for the best result.
The last pick in our list is the iNNOGLUE rubber cleaner.
This model is specially formulated with antioxidant and disinfectant to wipe away dirt and oil from the surface. It also protects and returns the rubber surface into its original nature.
Another good point is that this cleaning solution doesn't include any harmful materials. That means it is safe for skin contact as well as safe to use with all kinds of rubbers.
Similar to the JOOLA Turbo, it doesn't offer a sponge. So, you have to buy it separately.

As a Holistic Nutritionist I know that the products we put on our skin are just as important as the foods we put on our plate. It's why I made the switch to green beauty over five years ago and haven't looked back since. Through a lot of product testing and two years spent working at the green beauty mecca that is, The Detox Market, I learned A LOT. And now it is my absolute pleasure to share with you my top five products in skincare, makeup, hair, body and wellness.
As hard as it is for me to pick only five, I've narrowed it down to just that when it comes to skincare. These are the products I buy over and over again and cannot live without.
As hard as it is for me to pick only five, I've narrowed it down to just that when it comes to makeup. These are the products I buy over and over again and cannot live without.
Hair products were a tough transition to make, but the reward after many attempts is that I finally found the best of the best. These are the products I buy over and over again and cannot live without.
When it comes to putting ingredients on our body, it's important to use high quality ingredients that are safe. These are the products I buy over and over again and cannot live without.
When it comes to wellness products, thes are my favourite supplements, cleaning products and more.
One of the most common questions I get asked is why do you need to go toxin-free when it comes to your personal care products?
I first started making the switch from conventional products five years ago, when I started school for Holistic Nutrition. During my first semester there, I took a class about the environment and after completing a research paper on my own personal care products I was shocked at the ingredients "hiding" in my products. When I learned about the dangers that many of these ingredients pose, I knew I had to make a switch.
Many of the ingredients that are in conventional products are known hormone disruptors, can cause health issues (some are even carcinogenic) and cause skin irritations.

"Everyone who visits Gordon should feel like they were cared for and have an opportunity to be heard," says Sarah M. Turner, the new Admission Director at Gordon School in East Providence. "I want to know the hopes and dreams that you have for your child and your child's education." In her job, she helps families to get to know the school, guiding them from initial inquiry to enrollment. "I'm proud to advance Gordon's mission of institutional equity, inclusion and diversity, working with families to offer them the opportunities and academic excellence cultivated by this community," she says.
Sarah comes to Gordon at an exciting time, because the school has just launched an innovative new program. Family Individualized Tuition has replaced the traditional financial aid model, and it means that every family who applies is receiving a customized tuition price based on their economic circumstances. "Independent school tuition is an investment," Sarah says. "There are families who, in the past, may have found a full-price tuition a little out of reach; with FIT that tuition investment is adjusted to take into account a
family's financial situation."
Sarah has dedicated her 15-year career to affecting change and boosting inclusivity in schools, which is why she's so energized to be a part of this new program at Gordon. "FIT is transforming the admission process by opening the conversation about economic diversity within independent schools," she says, "and changing people's perceptions about who should consider an independent
school education."
Sarah has been immersed in education her whole life, growing up with a mother who was a teacher and librarian. "The stories told around the kitchen table impacted my decision to choose education as my career path," she says. "I love helping families realize the benefit of a Gordon education during these key years of their
child's development."

Ranging from flexible display screens and in-display fingerprint scanning to gesture control, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Huawei, Xiaomi, Sony and Motorola are all planning to debut their new models ahead of the MWC 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.
LG on Wednesday sent an invitation to global press and industry officials for an event on Feb. 24 to unveil its flagship G8 ThinQ model for this year.
The invitation that included a 10-second video hinted at a new user interface for its flagship phone that will allow users to control the smartphone via hand gestures without the need to touch the screen. Along with the eighth edition of the G series phone, LG is rumored to introduce a dual display smartphone that has a second display attached to the rear of the phone, instead of a true foldable display phone. Howevre, ths one is expected to be showcased exclusively at a private booth during the MWC event.
The company also plans to showcase 5G-enabled phones during the mobile event, with a local launch expected in March, LG officials said.
Four days ahead of the LG event, Samsung is going to present the 10th anniversary Galaxy phones in San Francisco.
Galaxy S10 models are said to come with new features such as cinematic display, in-display fingerprint sensing, a triple camera and wireless battery sharing. In addition, the wireless battery sharing technology will enable users to charge the phone without a charging cable and to share the battery from one device to another.
Samsung will also showcse its first foldable model, which is speculated to cost more than $1,500).
Huawei is also expcted to announce its 5G-based smartphone on the same day as LG. The Chinese company will announce the triple camera P30 and quadruple camera P30 Pro phones. It is also expected to show off its foldable phone that it claimed the company had since late last year.
Xiaomi will be unveiling its first 5G phone on Feb. 24th as well. The Chinese tech startup will reportedly also show a prototype of its foldable phone.
Actually Xiaomi revealed the new foldable device in a teaser video. Xiaomi co-founder and president Lin Bin has posted a nearly minute-long video to Weibo today, detailing the double folding phone. Both sides of the device can be folded backwards to transform it from a tablet form factor into more of a compact phone. Its UI even automatically resizes itself to occupy just the middle part of the screen, so you won't have to flip the device to look at the folded parts of the display. Unlike other foldable phones we've seen recently, this certainly looks a more practical use for the technology.
Bin noted that Xiaomi has conquered "a series of technical problems such as flexible folding screen technology, four-wheel drive folding shaft technology, flexible cover technology, and MIUI adaptation.
Sony will also announce the Xperia Z4 on Feb. 25, the same day as fellow Chinese player OPPO with its 10x zoom technology and Finnish mobile phone maker HMD Global with the penta-lens Nokia 9 PureView.

Engage with sincerity
Supriyo Chaudhuri
Hasina's mandate
While India has its share of responsibility in squandering the goodwill it earned through its engagement in liberation war, Bangladesh was indeed a difficult nation to do business with. Successive governments since the 1980s plundered the considerable wealth and natural resources of Bangladesh to the extent that by 2001, the country was ranked as the world's most corrupt state, beating Nigeria and a host of African nations in the game.
It is commonly agreed that the result of this election adequately reflects a consensus against corruption and political violence, though Sheikh Hasina is an old hand and presided over a coalition of existing parties. The results appear far more decipherable when the following arguments are considered:
First, Bangladesh has experimented and failed to evolve a third way, an alternative to the two major parties in the fray. Bangladeshis, after the two years of caretaker government, have realised that their democratic options would be limited, for some time now, to the two Begums.
Second, this victory is largely attributable to formation of effective coalition. Awami League has an extremely motivated following of roughly 35 to 40 percent of Bangladeshi electorate, and with the consolidation of anti-Bangladesh National Party votes through a broad-based coalition, they became unstoppable. However, it is prudent to note that this is a coalition victory more than it looks on surface (Awami League won a simple majority on its own) and Sheikh Hasina has to work with her partners if she has to create a sustainable government.
Third, an important factor in this year's election were the first time voters—young men and women millennials—who care less about liberation struggle and are far more concerned about the road ahead. Bangladesh is a country of young people and this new generation is going to dominate the political agenda from now on.
The all new opportunity
Therefore, it is reasonable to expect Sheikh Hasina's policies to be dominated by the dynamics of her mandate rather than any feeling of past affiliation. Such forward-looking perspective is going to be hard for even Sheikh Hasina to adopt—already a proactive pursuit of 1971 war criminals is overshadowing the government's development agenda—but the relationship with India must be seen in the light of this mandate. Indeed, this victory presents India with an opportunity; it is much easier to pursue a common agenda with this administration than it would have been with a coalition involving the Jamaat.
Bangladesh, contrary to popular perception, is an extremely important state for India. It is resource rich and strategically located. Access to Bangladeshi natural gas will change the economy of West Bengal, and access to sea port in Chittagong and road transit rights through the country will transform the troubled economies of Indian North-East and integrate them far better to the mainland.
Moreover, Bangladesh is militarily important and strategically significant. India would not want a Chinese air base in Jessore, at any cost. Besides, Bangladesh has become the training ground for Pakistan's ISI and its terror brethren. Rural poverty, and disaffected, unemployed urban youth provided the ideal recruitment base; the corruption and lawlessness allowed covert operations to go on. After much effort, the government of Bangladesh has pushed back some of these groups in recent months, but economic success and political stability will now be required to make those gains permanent.
India must engage with Bangladesh with this perspective. Even if it is a familiar Shiekh Hasina India will have to deal with, it is time for fresh thinking. It will have to build a relationship based on respect that a sovereign nation rightfully deserves, and treat this country with due consideration befitting an important strategic partner. A good start has been made with Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee's recent visit and two bilateral trade treaties in February 2009, which cover a number of issues including the transit arrangements. It is reported that there has been a broad agreement on action against terror groups operating out of Bangladesh.
However, to make such a treaty successful, India must give as it gets—more must be done to achieve a more balanced trade with Bangladesh (India has a surplus of $3 billion out of a $3.3 billion worth of exports); to enter into a permanent and equitable water sharing arrangement; sorting out the long-standing issues about land and maritime borders. Steps like these will allow Sheikh Hasina's government to convince the Bangladeshi people that India is serious about the relationship. This will allow her to address other key issues, like Indian companies investing in Bangladesh, and sale of gas to India—steps, which will actually help reduce Bangladesh's trade deficit with India— with greater confidence.
All this will demand a change of mindset in India. In the affairs of the subcontinent, New Delhi has thought and acted with fear and insecurity for too long. It is time India acts like a big country, and engages its neighbours with sincerity and fairness.

A: Your view is not inflated on onCreate() method of the fragment.
Initialize your widgets in an aproppiate lifecycle method such as onCreateView
Example:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(<your.custom.layout>, container, false);
    editTextMessage = rootView.findViewById(R.id.editTextMessage);
    buttonSend = rootView.findViewById(R.id.buttonSend);

    //Adding click listener
    buttonSend.setOnClickListener(this)
    return rootView;
}

Here you can understand Fragment lifecycle.

This just going to be a quick post about the Osaka Girl's Free Market being held in Osaka next weekend, October 9th!! You can check out the Japanese website here, and I'll put up some information in English in this post.
What is Girl's Free Market??
It's an open market, for women (and they babies ;D) only, being held in various locations throughout Japan and run by the DECOLOG company, which is a popular mobile blogging site in Japan. They company also has a small TV segment and a magazine (I don't know if it's monthly, or a quarterly thing though), so they're pretty well known.
Where can I find this thing?!
the Hanshin trains, Namba Line Dome-mae Station.
Tickets? Or can anyone go?
Unfortunately, or at least I think it is, you do have to buy tickets in advance. They can be purchased at any convenience store, and the cost is 500 yen for one ticket. If you buy 3 tickets though, it's only 1200 yen..! If it were free though, I'd be more tempted to go D=!
So there aren't any brand store booths there??
As far as I can tell, no =/. It's all user-generated (does that phrase apply outside of the internet???) goods. Second-hand from what I've read, but I've been to a lot of Japanese second-hand shops, and their second hand is usually pretty good. Damn near perfect most of the time *jelly*.
So who IS selling stuff??
You can check out the list of the booths at the free market here. They've also encourage the people running booths to upload photos of their booth to the site, so you might be able to find some photos of what's being sold too..!
But why should I go??
I wish I had some kind of photo or something to share, but there's nothing for me to link to except for the DECOLOG site, which is pretty colorful.
If you're looking for some second-hand goods, check it out!! It also sounds like a nice way to spend a cool autumn afternoon. I will probably be cleaning my apartment and waiting for my Halloween costume (equally as exciting in my book!).


Boogie Magazine PRESS t-shirts will be available at the jam session this Saturday. $10 each. If our photographers see you in a PRESS t-shirt, smile for the camera and you just might find yourself in our next issue of Boogie Magazine!

Q: how to trigger ExceptionMapper in jersey 2? I have a problem with my ExceptionMapper:
@Provider
@Component
public class GenericExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<Throwable> {

    public GenericExceptionMapper() {
        logger.debug("hej hopp");

    }

    @Override
    public Response toResponse(Throwable exception) {
        ErrorMessage errorMessage = new ErrorMessage("Technical error",
            "An unknown technical error occured.");
        return Response.status(Response.Status.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)
            .entity(errorMessage).build();
    }
}

It doesn't catch any exceptions from my resources. I have placed a debug point in the constructor and see that it is created. I have debuged the request and it doesn't seem to look for any exception handlers.
This is part of my configuration:
@ComponentScan("com.companywhereiwork.application")

And another part:
        jerseyServlet.setInitParameter("jersey.config.server.provider.packages",
               "com.companywhereiwork.application");

When I throw an exception from inside one of my resources:
    if (Math.random() < 1f) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Blä");
    }

It is returned to the client as a tomcat errorpage. It doesn't enter my errorhandler.

A: The solution was to remove the @Component annotation. For some reason, the ExceptionMapperFactory didn't pick up my class when it had double annotations like this. I didn't think it would be a problem, but it was. It now works (and I know a little more about the ExceptionMapperFactory).
