Thanks for pointing out that a good wedding band will be able to energize the crowd and get them on their feet. My daughter's going to be married later this year. She's having a fairly traditional wedding, but she's very fun-loving and wants it to have some unique and quirky elements. Having a live band play dancing music seems like something she could get on board with. I'll definitely suggest the idea to her!


Luke and Rachel is an inspiration goldmine for brides-to-be who are into books, DIY, and vintage! Ideas like old book pages turned into boutonniere, faux bouquet, and centerpieces can be seen throughout their wedding. Rachel, today's talented bride, showcased her DIY skills through their wedding decors and accessories. These intricate DIYs are not an easy task to do. Read more to know how Rachel pulled off everything!
Most brides-to-be, especially those who love DIYs, opt for a unique 'bouquet'. Like in Rachel's case, she used pages of her favorite books to make this lovely faux bouquet. Embellish it with pearls then it's good to go! You can definitely see the vintage impression.
Luke was pretty adamant that he wanted to wear teal, so they had a teal suit tailored for him. Plus the DIY boutonniere and quirky bow tie added a significant charm! If I were to choose I'd have my husband-to-be get a tailored suit. How about you?
Rachel definitely showed her talent and love for anything DIY on her wedding day! Aside from the faux bouquet, the centerpieces and hanging decorations were also made out of pages of her favorite books! Come to think of it, I haven't seen any real flowers at this wedding. They were a big hit that even several people asked to take a centerpiece home!
Don't start a DIY project that you don't have time for. If you only halfway finish something or end up rushing at the very end then you'll either have to spend extra money last minute or won't be happy with the result. DIY doesn't always save money and it ALWAYS takes time.
And if you aren't an everyday crafter then you may have to make several attempts at something. Even if someone is helping with expenses doesn't mean they get to make all the choices. Sometimes you feel like you're hurting someone's feelings by rejecting all of their ideas, but in the end the wedding has to make YOU happy.

About FURUNO
FURUNO ITS Journal
Companies attempt new Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications, including traffic volume measurements and vehicle positioning. -ITS Asia Pacific Forum in Fukuoka-
Articles for ITS market Companies attempt new Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications, including traffic volume measurements and vehicle positioning. -ITS Asia Pacific Forum in Fukuoka-
ITS Forum was held in Japan for the first time in 22 years. Countries and governments commended the city's redesign.
Fukuoka International Conference Hall is located at Fukuoka Port area.
The ITS Asia Pacific Forum was held on May 8 - 10, 2018 at Fukuoka International Conference Hall. ITS is an abbreviation for Intelligent Transport System and has an important role in the development of next-generation cars. Regarding the ITS Forum, there are three distinct sectors , International, Europe, and Asia Pacific. ITS related forums will be held in Japan for the first time in 22 years since Tokyo in 1995.
Many research institutes including governments, automobile manufacturers, auto parts manufacturers, IT-related manufacturers and universities in Asia and Oceania participated in exhibitions and lectures at the forum. The main items were many announcements on the automated driving and connected cars. On the technical side MaaS (Mobility as a Service) and the service business.
Also each countries government emphasized redesigning cities that they would support MaaS related policies in the future. Combining buses, trains, trams, bicycles, taxis, ride sharing and walking they aim to eliminate congestion in urban areas and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Utilizing sensor technologies to measure traffic volume and vehicle position are original ideas from ITS in the 1990s.
Japan was an early world leader in this technology.
In the background there are various service projects in which the public and private sectors collaborate.
For example, Japan introduced ETC (automatic toll collection system) utilizing DSRC (Narrow area communication) on highways nationwide. Japan also introduced VICS (Vehicle Information and Communication System) which provides traffic information such as traffic congestion to onboard units, initially in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
In addition Japan is home to the most popular in-vehicle car navigation system in the world and technology competition among companies has further advanced in-car navigation product development. This environment at the ITS Asia Pacific Forum attracted the attention of various sensor technology companies for installation on the road side and efforts to utilize them to measure traffic volume and position of the car.
The following summarizes each company.
Panasonic: Experiment in the 60 GHz band to explore new ways of utilizing millimeter wave radar.
Panasonic: Inter-vehicle communications in the 700 MHz band where distribution is gradually spreading in Tokyo and Nagoya
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication at intersection utilizing 60 GHz millimeter wave radar
In recent years millimeter wave radar has been used as part of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) for the purpose of irradiating vehicles from the onboard device.
On the other hand Panasonic is studying a concept model by installing a millimeter wave radar transmitter in the 60 GHz band on the intersection side and measuring the position of the traveling car. The mechanism is used to notify cars at the intersection of that information. According to a company official, because the frequency band is different from the millimeter wave radar for ADAS it does not interfere with millimeter wave radar radiated to the car from the intersection.
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication using the 700 MHz band
Toyota will deploy the Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication system using the 700 MHz band around the intersection positioned at the center for diffusion and also to inter-vehicle communication with pedestrian smartphones.
Reverse running prevention system
This system utilizes a loop coil type sensor which has already been introduced for measuring traffic volume on the expressway. It will call attention to surrounding cars with an electronic road side display board when reverse running occurs. PANASONIC is now preparing it for introduction.
OKI Electric
Oki Electric: The characteristics correspond to various radio waves. The state of experiment is also published in this image.
A system that measures the position of a moving car using two radio receivers installed on the road side. Radio waves emitted from moving vehicles can use ETC / ETC 2.0, Wi-Fi, etc. They have been developing it for practical applications.
NEXCO West Japan
NEXCO West Japan: Their Compact DSRC system conforms to ETCETC 2.0.
They have a Compact DSRC system compatible with ETC / ETC 2.0. It is intended for use in the vacation seasons such as New Year's holiday and summer holidays. It has been introduced initially in Kyushu and a part of expressway in Okinawa.
NTT DoCoMo: Exploring a new business model for ITS as a major telecommunications carrier
Mobile space measurement
Mobile space measurement is one of the services provided by NTT DoCoMo. Under the user agreement the user's movements are visualized by obtaining location information of the mobile phone using GPS or Wi-Fi. By analyzing such data using artificial intelligence (AI) they developed a technology to predict human movement. In the future they will utilize it for setting routes such as bus, train, LRT (next generation tram line system) and formulating flight schedules. This service is also able to optimize the placement of temporary buses by predicting the movement of people before and after large scale events such as professional baseball games, soccer games and music concerts.
AI bus
AI bus is a DoCoMo project that collaborates with a startup company at the Public Hakodate Mirai University. It is an attempt to get the best match between suppliers and users of small buses using a dedicated algorithm. They have tested and demonstrated at Tokyo and Fukushima. The demonstration in Fukuoka city was arranged as part of this ITS Asia Pacific Forum.
I hope that new business models related to ITS will continue to be generated from Japan into the worldwide markets by continuing the various sensing technologies mentioned in the article above.

media release 27.11.19
Count down to World Architecture Festival 2019
Just a few days to go until the World Architecture Festival (WAF). The largest global gathering of architects, planners and designers (the 'built environment Olympics'!) kicks off on Wednesday 4 December. Thousands of architects, planners and designers are right now heading to the host city of Amsterdam, where they'll compete for the highest honours of: World Building of the Year, Future Project of the Year, Interior of the Year and Landscape of the Year.
For our CEO & Principal Design, Michael Heenan, 2019 is a very special WAF – his 10th year as an invited judge or jury chair. It's also 10 years since he accepted AJ+C's WAF award for Berry Recreation Hall, Berry Sports and Recreation Centre, as 2009 Sports Category winner. We followed this in 2017, winning World Future Project of the Year and Future Masterplan of the Year for Sydney Fish Market Reference Scheme, which unlocks kilometres of harbour foreshore for the city.
"One of the great joys and benefits of judging at WAF is you're exposed to the most innovative new architecture and planning ideas on the planet. The breadth and scale is staggering. This year some of my favourite projects are in Education. The rapid change of pedagogy world-wide, and its effect on future workplaces, makes this the most acutely observed category, in my view," says Michael.
WAF presentations run to strict rules and timing. The competition taps into our collegiate spirit. Every year AJ+C helps Australian WAF contenders sharpen their pitch by hosting a practice night in our Sydney studio, inviting shortlisted local architects to present in front of eminent judges.
"They're not judging the building, but presentation style and the ability to influence. It's become a great annual event in our studio, not only for the talks, but the chance to engage the profession in discussions."
For interview opportunity with Michael Heenan please contact:
Dimity Pinto Dimity@fredcommunications.com.au 0412 164 333
Q+A with our new associate, Luis Ausin Gomez.
What are your qualifications.
I studied Master of Architecture and I am a registered Architect in Spain. I've also studied 8 years of Music and Piano in the Conservatory.
When did you realise you wanted to be an architect?
As a child, I used to pass entire days with friends discovering buildings and hidden treasures in the old quarter of my hometown. I grew up with a strong sense of discovery linked to places with so much history. Years later, I found the same sense of discovery and curiosity doing projects at the school of Architecture.
What attracted you to the profession?
The possibilities of architecture hinging on the duality of utopia and necessity. I believe that question does not get fully answered, which calls for constant innovation. It's scary to feel sometimes a certain degree of complacency in our profession.
What has been the most significant influence on your career to date?
Without a doubt it has been the people I've worked with and many of them have become good friends. Over the last 12 years, architecture has given me the opportunity to work in 4 continents with amazing people, which is what matters at the end of the day.
What attracted you to Australian architecture?
Its answer to nature with minimum use of materials and lightness. It's radical and meaningful.
What do you think are your best qualities? How do these qualities help you in your work?
I'm curious about things and I also need to know 'why?'
What attracted you to working at AJ+C?
Its contextual approach to projects. It has a great range of projects across very interesting sectors that provides great opportunities for innovation.
What is it about AJ+C that makes you most proud of working here?
Being part of the sports sector team has been great.
What's been your greatest accomplishment at AJ+C?
I'm grateful for the opportunity of having contributed to some of the projects developing in NSW regional areas. In particular, Police Community Youth Club (PCYC) Walgett. The location and conditions have driven the design to be cost effective, easy to build and maintain.
What do you enjoy most in your role?
Setting up and developing strong architectural strategies that are capable of growing through the hardships of a project process and becoming meaningful to all the agents involved in it. Beginning to end.
Which project in your career have been the most significant to you? What was it about that project that was important for you?
All of them for different reasons. I would mention the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. We were a young team of architects out of the school, working collaboratively, over 4 years: discussing, researching, experimenting, making decisions… We didn't give up any of the main design principles we thought were critical. It taught me that nothing is irrelevant in a project.

Women international assignees have historically been successful, but they make up a relatively low proportion of organizationally assigned expatriates. By appreciating the factors that encourage women to undertake internationally mobile careers, organizations can widen their talent pool. Using a triangulated, qualitative research approach set within two case study firms in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, this article identifies contrasting views between female assignees and their organizations with respect to the purpose of expatriation and the factors women take into consideration in their decision to undertake it. This research is based on analysis of organizational policy; a survey of 71 women expatriates and in-depth, semistructured interviews with 26 female assignees (selected from the survey returns using stratified sampling); and interviews with 14 human resource professionals responsible for international mobility policy design and implementation. Career, family, and financial precondition effects are identified. From these, a model is proposed to link stated organizational assignment purpose with women's participation rationales, and recommendations for practice to increase expatriate gender diversity are set out.

Sam Ricketts Pre Newport County
Shrewsbury Town welcome Newport County to the Ludlow Football Stadium for our first 90-minute game of pre-season.
Town have so far played three 'bounce games' to get some match practice in during the first weeks of pre-season training. First up was TNS with Aaron Pierre and a trialist getting the goals for Town. After that we welcome Wolves U23's to Sundourne with an Ollie Norburn penalty starting the scoring, Abo Eisa got two and Kian Taylor finished the scoring. While in Portugal we played Sheffield Wednesday, there were no goals for Town but players started to get 60 and 90 minutes game time.
ShrewsWeb sat down with Town manager Sam Ricketts ahead of the Newport County game and started by asking how Portugal had gone.
"It was a really good week away, the only disappointment was picking up a couple of injuries while we were out there", said Sam.
"It was a really productive week of training and social exercise."
The training was tough with sessions in the morning and afternoon but there were also other activates to help develop the squad. One of these was a session in Freediving to make the players think differently.
"It was something which the players would not have done, and probably will never do again", said Sam.
"You are getting players to hold their breath underwater and teach them how to do it better. The idea is to try and make the players understand what is possible.
"If you ask someone to hold their breath underwater you might get to 30-40 seconds, but this is about showing that your body is capable of doing far more than you think.
"A few lads were getting to over two minutes in the end, I think Omar was the best at two minutes 38 seconds. Ryan Giles was about one minute fifteen or so but after going through the techniques he was well over two minutes.
"It shows when you put your mind to something your body is capable of doing that. It's what we are trying to get across this season, it's about breaking down those preconceived ideas of what is possible and if you believe something is possible then you can achieve that.
Tonight's game against Newport County kicks off at 7 pm and it will be the next step of the pre-season programme. County just missed out on promotion after getting beaten by Tranmere Rovers in the Sky Bet League Two play-off final.
"I'm hoping for a bit of realism where we will face problems that we will face in the league", said Sam.
"Pre-season is a hard one, for the first few games, everyone comes back and will try to pass the ball around and keep it nice and pretty.
"That isn't how the first game of the season will pan out, we are trying to make sure we face the tests we will face in the league."
Over the 'bounce games' the manager has been playing a number of players in several positions to take a look at the formation and how everyone fits in.
"It's still about seeing where players can play to an extent", said Sam.
"I don't want a big squad so there will be times of the season when people will need to play in different positions.
"It's a case of moving a few around pre-season and see where we get to while also trying to build relationships.
"There are only a handful of players who have been here longer than twelve months so it's still a very fresh group.
"There is still work going on there while still trying to implement our style of play."
Tonight's game kicks off at 7 pm at the Ludlow Football Stadium full ticket details are here - Newport County Ticket Details.

USA TODAY Has Doxxed 4500 Members of Trump Golf Clubs, But Won't Mention if B-Ll Cl-Nt-n Is One of Them
From USA Today:
Trump gets millions from golf members. CEOs and lobbyists get access to president
Brad Heath, Fredreka Schouten, Steve Reilly, Nick Penzenstadler and Aamer Madhani, USA TODAY Published 6:03 a.m. ET Sept. 6, 2017
A USA TODAY investigation found that dozens of lobbyists and government contractors are among the members of President Trump's private golf clubs. USA TODAY
… Because membership lists at Trump's clubs are secret, the public has until now been unable to assess the conflicts they could create. USA TODAY found the names of 4,500 members by reviewing social media and a public website golfers use to track their handicaps, then researched and contacted hundreds to determine whether they had business with the government.
From a human interest / celebrity / world-historical standpoint, of course, the single most interesting question about a membership in Trump's golf clubs is whether former President and husband of the 2016 failed candidate Bill Clinton is still one.
Retired NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason tweeted out a picture of President Clinton's locker at Trump National Westchester on June 28, 2016:
But the national media was about 99% utterly uninterested in this story during the campaign, perhaps seeing it as an unwarranted invasion of the sacred privacy of the Clintons and the Trumps. Or something.
Update: I got this tweet back from one of the USA Today reporters on the story:
USA Today's logic seems to be that the story is about 4,500 Trump golf club members potentially bribing Trump by paying to belong to one of his golf clubs, while Bill Clinton's free membership in a Trump golf club is totally different: it's Trump bribing Clinton, so that's not news.
The reporter follows up:
In other words, Bill Clinton has temporarily made himself scarce around Trump National-Westchester, but has refused to give up his membership and still has a locker there, as Boomer Esiason's photo shows.
Commenter Alec Leamas (hard at work) points out:
Are we pretending that people wouldn't be paying members of a club to get access to B___ C_____ while his wife was the United States Secretary of State and putative inevitable next President of the United States? Like, you know, for a much longer time up to and including Tuesday, November 8, 2016? Would it be interesting to know which members made contributions to H> as opposed to the actual, Non-Female President?

Budapest, March 17 (MTI) – The Hungarian government's goal is to argue that any scheme to exchange or relocate refugees under a pact between the European Union and Turkey should only be carried out on a voluntary basis, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said before an EU summit in Brussels.
Arriving at the summit, Orbán told journalists that Hungary would take part in the talks of EU heads of state and government based on the premise that "if there will be an agreement with Turkey it should only contain voluntary and not mandatory measures for the relocation of migrants coming from Turkey." Orbán said he saw a chance that this goal could be achieved.
Government office chief Janos Lázár told a press conference in Budapest earlier on Thursday that Orbán would be fighting for a quota system which is voluntary at the two-day summit starting on Thursday. The government's clear on its position: "we don't want anyone to be relocated to Hungary," Lázár said. If there will be a mandatory quota scheme after all, Hungary will be "in great need of gauging its citizens' opinions through a referendum," he added.
Lázár said there had been no migrants arriving since the Balkan border closure, hence "it is not an EU-Turkish pact but border protection that can stop migrants". He said the government has decided to hold off on building a fence on the Hungarian-Romanian border, adding however that the next steps would depend on the situation in Greece. He said that now help must be extended to that country in taking care of migrants stranded there.
Commenting on Germany's regional elections on Sunday, Lázár said it was Germany's internal affair and Hungary's interests lie in maintaining a strategic partnership with Germany.
Answering a question, Lázár said that the basic figures of Hungary's 2017 budget would be discussed by the cabinet next week. The draft budget is expected to be submitted to parliament around May 6 and a vote is planned to be held in mid-June.
I don't think anyone in Europe even cares about what this boy wants or thinks! Know your place or the EU will kick you out and you'll die of hunger!
Right! And since the rich middle east don't want their own kind. Go to a place like the UK, US or Auzzieland, where they have more than enough money to drop bombs and move all these migrants around. They'll just have to start spending less on BOMBS!

Een classfile bevat bytecode die uitgevoerd kan worden door een Java Virtual Machine. Classfiles kunnen inmiddels worden geproduceerd door diverse compilers (Javac, JRuby, Scala, Groovy, Kotlin, Clojure, Jython, Fantom, Gosu, en andere), wanneer deze de broncode compileert.

Een classfile bestaat uit de volgende onderdelen:

Header
De header bevat een magic number en versieinformatie. Een magic number is een constante aan het begin van een file die aangeeft dat de file een bepaald soort data bevat. Dit geldt niet alleen voor classfiles, maar ook voor veel andere bestandsformaten, bijvoorbeeld .GIF files en .ZIP files. Het magic number waarmee iedere classfile begint is 0xCAFEBABE.

Het magic number wordt gevolgd door 4 bytes die de versie van de gebruikte specificatie aangeven: eerst 2 bytes voor de minor version, dan 2 bytes voor de major version. Een header voor een classfile met versie 49.0 (J2SE 5.0) ziet er dan als volgt uit:

 cafebabe00000031

Constantpool
De header wordt gevolgd door de constantpool. In de constantpool wordt een aantal constanten gedefinieerd die in de rest van de classfile gebruikt worden. De eerste 2 bytes duiden het aantal constanten in de constantpool aan.

Iedere waarde in de pool wordt voorafgegaan door een tag (1 byte) die het datatype aangeeft (en dus ook het aantal bytes dat de daaropvolgende waarde inneemt). Er zijn 11 tags, onder andere voor (UTF-8) strings, integers en verwijzingen naar methoden en fields.

Het begin van een constantpool kan er als volgt uitzien:

  0003           De pool bevat 3 constanten.
  01             De eerste constante is een string.
  0005           De string is 5 bytes.
  48656c6c6f     "Hello".

In dit geval bevat de pool 3 constanten (alleen de eerste wordt hier weergegeven). De eerste constante is een UTF-8 string (aangegeven door tag 1). In het geval van een string wordt de tag gevolgd door 2 bytes die de lengte van de string aangeven, in dit geval 5 bytes. Hierna volgt de string zelf: "hello", gecodeerd in hexidecimaal als 48656c6c6f.

Klasse-informatie
Na de constantpool volgt er informatie over de klasse die door deze bytecodefile gedefinieerd wordt, zoals de naam en de superclass. Dit gedeelte bestaat uit 8 bytes, verdeeld in 4 items van elk 2 bytes:

 De access flags van de klasse, zoals "public", "abstract" of "final". Deze worden gecodeerd als een bitmask.
 De naam van de klasse. Dit is een verwijzing naar een item in de constantpool dat een string met de naam van de klasse bevat.
 De superklasse. Dit is weer een verwijzing naar een string in de constantpool.
 Het aantal interfaces dat deze klasse implementeert.

Als de klasse één of meer interfaces implementeert volgt vervolgens een lijst met de geïmplementeerde interfaces.

Fields en methods
Deze sectie beschrijft de velden (fields, of attributen) en methoden van de klasse. De sectie begint met 2 bytes. Deze specificeren het aantal velden van de klasse. Vervolgens volgt de lijst met velden. Daarna komen er weer 2 bytes, die het aantal methoden van deze klasse aangeven. Deze worden op hun beurt weer gevolgd door de methoden.

Velden en methoden worden op dezelfde manier gecodeerd. Elk gedeelte dat een veld of een methode specificeert begint met 2 bytes die de access flags (zoals "static", "public", "abstract", enzovoort) aangeven, gecodeerd als bitmask. De volgende 2 bytes bevatten de naam van de methode of het veld. Dit is weer een verwijzing naar een string in de constantpool.

Type descriptor
Hierna volgen nog 2 bytes die het type van de methode of het veld specificeren (de zogenaamde type descriptor). Het type van een veld geeft aan welk type waarden het veld kan bevatten. Het type van een methode geeft aan hoeveel argumenten de methode verwacht, van welke datatype deze argumenten zijn en welk datatype de methode retourneert.

Deze uit 2 bytes bestaande type descriptor is weer een verwijzing naar een string in de constantpool. Bijvoorbeeld: de string in de constantpool waarnaar de type-descriptor van de main-routine wijst is altijd ([Ljava/lang/String;)V. Dit geeft aan dat de main-routine een array (aangegeven door [) van strings (aangegeven door Ljava/lang/String) als argument verwacht en void (aangegeven door V) als returntype heeft.

Attributen
Na de type-descriptor volgen eventuele attributen van de methode of het veld. Een veld kan bijvoorbeeld een ConstValue-attribuut hebben dat de beginwaarde van het veld specificeert. Meestal hebben velden echter geen attributen.

De sectie met attributen begint met 2 bytes die het aantal attributen voor deze methode of dit veld aangeven. Een attribuut wordt als volgt gecodeerd: eerst 2 bytes die weer naar een string in de constantpool verwijzen. Deze string bevat de naam van het attribuut. Vervolgens 4 bytes die de lengte van de data die bij het attribuut hoort aangeven.

De classfile specificatie maakt het mogelijk om zelf nieuwe attributen toe te voegen. De JVM die de classfile uitvoert negeert attributen die hij niet ondersteunt.

Het code-attribuut
Methoden hebben in meestal in ieder geval één attribuut: een Code-attribuut. Hierin wordt onder andere gespecificeert hoeveel items op de stack de methode (maximaal) gebruikt, en hoeveel lokale variabelen. Ook wordt in het Code-attribuut de implementatie van de methode (de body) opgenomen.

Na de body van de methode volgt nog informatie over de exceptions die de methode afhandeld. En ten slotte kan het Code-attribuut op zijn beurt ook nog weer attributen hebben. Die worden dan na de informatie over exceptions gespecificeerd.

Voorbeeld van een Code-attribuut
Het Code-attribuut van een methode kan er als volgt uitzien:

  0003       De naam van dit attribuut is de derde string in de constantpool (in dit geval "Code").
  00000009   De data van dit attribuut is 9 bytes groot.
  0002       Deze methode gebruikt 2 items op de stack.
  0000       Deze methode gebruikt geen lokale variabelen.
  00000001   De lengte van de code zelf (de implementatie van de methode) is 1 byte.
  b1         De body van de methode bestaat hier uit slechts 1 instructie, met opcode 5.

De bovenstaande methode bevat slechts één instructie: een return-statement (deze heeft opcode 5).

Class attributen
De classfile eindigt met (nog) een lijst attributen. Deze gelden voor de hele class en worden op dezelfde manier gecodeerd als de attributen van velden en methodes. Ook hier geeft de specificatie de mogelijkheid om nieuwe attributen te implementeren. De specificatie zelf definieerd alleen het SourceFile-attribuut, die de naam van de file met broncode bevat waarvan de classfile afkomstig is (voor debuggers).

Opcodes en instructies
Zoals we al zagen worden de instructies waaruit een methode bestaat opgeslagen in een Code-attribuut bij de betreffende methode. Omdat o.a. Java geen code buiten methodes (behalve declaraties en initialisatie-assignments) toestaat kunnen alle instructies waaruit een programma bestaat op deze manier in de classfile opgeslagen worden.

Broncode-statements en expressies worden hiervoor door de compiler vertaald naar reeksen zogenaamde bytecodes. Net als bij "echte" machinetaal bestaat een bytecode-instructie uit een opcode en een aantal argumenten, de operanden, waarbij het aantal operanden en hun lengte afhangt van de opcode.

Een serie bytecode-instructies kan er als volgt uitzien:

  1201      Opcode 18:  Push item op de stack. Argument: de integer 1.
  1202                  Zelfde, maar push nu een 2 op de stack.
  60        Opcode 96:  Haal 2 items van de stack, tel ze op en zet het resultaat op de stack
  3601      Opcode 54:  Haal item van de stack en sla deze op in lokale variabele 1.
  b20508    Opcode 178: Haal een verwijzing naar een statisch veld uit de constantpool,
                        in dit geval "java.lang.System.out".
  1501      Opcode 21:  Push inhoud van een lokale variabele op de stack.
  b60609    Opcode 182: Haal een verwijzing naar een object en een argument van de stack.
                        Roep vervolgens de methode op index 0609 in de constantpool aan op
                        het object met het argument van de stack als argument.

Het bovenstaande voorbeeld wordt aanschouwelijker als we het noteren als Java assembler:

  ldc 1                                                 # 1 naar stack
  ldc 2                                                 # 2 naar stack
  iadd                                                  # optellen, resultaat naar stack
  istore 1                                              # resultaat opslaan in lokale variabele
  getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream;  # ref naar System.out (type PrintStream)
                                                        # op de stack
  iload 1                                               # inhoud lokale variabele naar stack
  invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(I)V         # System.out.println(1)
                                                        # System.out en 1 komen van de stack

Dit stukje bytecode telt 1 en 2 bij elkaar op en print het resultaat.

Earlier this month, scientists named the 100 most unusual and endangered birds in the world. The species on the list were taken from the world's approximately 10,000 bird species, and ranked by their evolutionarily distinctiveness and conservation status. Here at Birdorable we like to highlight both unusual birds as well as species that need conservation help.
Eleven of the birds on the top 100 list can be found here in our unique cute cartoon style. Birds on the list include the iconic California Condor, struggling back from the brink of extinction thanks to dedicated scientists and conservationists, and the unusual Shoebill, which is also known as Whalehead or Shoe-billed Stork.
The list of endangered and unusual birds also includes species in the parrot family, like the nocturnal and non-flighted Kakapo, endemic to New Zealand, and the Spix's Macaw of Brazil. Other Birdorable birds on the list: Philippine Eagle; Spoon-billed Sandpiper; Northern Bald Ibis; Red-headed Vulture; Secretary Bird; Egyptian Vulture; Kokako.
These birds and all of the others on the list are in conservation trouble, just like the Passenger Pigeon was over 100 years ago. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the final loss of this species. In September 1914, the last Passenger Pigeon died, and the species was lost forever.

Our problem is we don't know how to nurture young talents, and develop them to be future stars. I think India has just figured this out, with them reaching new highs only in the past 2 years.
Indian U-17 team just beat Argentina U-17 by 2-1. Couple of years ago we, Bangladesh U-15 boys beat that Indian team (exact same players) twice.
Yet, when these boys reach adulthood they will be playing for the 197th ranked team in the World.
They need financial support more than anything, especially our girls team, so that their parents don't marry them off to be full time housewives.
I suggest sacking our entire men's team that can't defeat Bhutan and investing their salaries in the youth teams.
This is some high level analysis my friend. I think you are bang on. We could achieve so many things by using strategy alone. Unfortunately, the corrupt cronies at the top ruin everything.
Governments ruin everything in most countries, in a 3rd world country like Bd, they ruin overtime!
Match highlights. Just look at some of the techniques displayed by our girls. Those long shots, crosses and headers are all on point. BFF please make this team a World Cup squad.
I haven't even seen our men's team play this dominantly in our team's existence.
Some of the long shots and crosses were really good. But Pakistani defence were all over the place and were totally much inferior in all aspects.
Sadly female sports in our country will never get much needed funding and resources. Lets also the not forget the support they need from family and friends as they grow older to take care of their families.
Choroms........thanks for the info. Is it live on the web??
Yes, prothom alo site showing all those matches. Pak match was also live.
Thanks for info. I dont think Pakistanis will want to watch Pakistani girls play apart from the perverted ones (which is quite a lot probably).
I bet that Sri Lanka and the Pakistanis don't even have proper youth teams, maybe their management just pocket the money, and get a bunch of high school soccer teams to represent their national side during tournaments.
Fun fact: This is the first time Pakistan and Sri Lanka are taking part in a youth SAFF tournament. Explains their miserable 200+ FIFA World Ranking. I am surprised at how good Nepal are, their U-18 Men's team beat us in the finals 2017 and India in 2015.
Against Bhutan* on 16th August. They'll likely face India on the finals who face Nepal in Semi Finals on the same date.
We beat India in the finals last time, I feel like we can do it again.
Yes you are right its Bhutan. I got the info from a website which said otherwise. The coverage for these games are quite poor on the news.
Bangladesh U-23 vs Thailand U-23 for Asian Games at Indonesia.
We lost the first group stage game to Uzbekistan 3-0 (Thailand tied their game with Qatar 1-1). We still have to face Qatar which will certainly be challenging. This is a must-win game for us.
Look at the betting odds on the side lol. Bangladesh U-23 win- $21 to 1 to win the game from half time.
Bangladesh lead 1-0 at 51st minute. That was a bizarre goal from a long throw and a complete brain fart from a Thai defender, but we'll take it.
Thailand equalised 1-1 at 78th minute.
We are playing badly. Didn't even deserve the win tbh. We keep losing the ball, and are barely clearing it off or losing it early whenever we gain possession from Thailand's offence, instead of constructing a counter attack. This is exactly what is wrong with our football today. I don't think we even got in the field with a winning mentality.
Bangladesh U-23 draws with Thailand in Asia Cup qualifier after losing to Uzbeks by 3-0 in earlier match.
I agree. Last 2 matches and today also, I sense a huge partiality against us from officers.
I feel we will score at least 2 more during the rest of the match.
Total duration should have been shorter based on age group.
Too much partially by refeere and lines man here. Its kinda sick.


Modern tourists prepare for a journey to an exotic country beforehand. They read books and surf the Internet in attempts to learn as much as they possibly can. Learning about their destination, its customs and traditions, ecological situation, climate and weather, the way locals live is definitely a smart approach. Unfortunately, many tourists do not take into account the crime situation in the countries they plan to visit – a mistake that can cost them everything.
Thievery in Thailand is constant and never-ending, so you'd better watch out. Before you go for a walk, stash your money and documents in a secure place. The best way to keep your gold jewelry, airline tickets and other valuables safe from thieves is to leave them in the room safe or the hotel safety deposit box. Keep an eye on your staff whenever you go for a walk or laze on the beach – it will help to minimize the risk of your valuables being stolen. If you follow our advice and take necessary precautions, no one and nothing will spoil your vacation in the country.

July 1575 – Elizabeth I visits Kenilworth Castle
From the 9th to the 27th July 1575 Elizabeth I stayed at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire, home of her great friend Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. She had visited Kenilworth three times before but this was a special visit in that it lasted nineteen days and was the longest stay at a courtier's house in any of her royal progresses.
We know a substantial amount about Elizabeth's visit to Kenilworth because it was recorded in a letter by Robert Langham, a member of Dudley's household, and in an account by poet and actor George Gascoigne, a man hired by Robert Dudley to provide entertainment during the royal visit.
Elizabeth I had a very special relationship with Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. They had been good friends since childhood and their close relationship caused much scandal and gossip at court and throughout Europe. Elizabeth I may have styled herself as the Virgin Queen but Robert Dudley was constantly by her side and acted as an unofficial consort at times. Unfortunately for Elizabeth and Dudley, the suspicious death of Dudley's wife, Amy Dudley (Robsart), in 1560, and the scandal surrounding it, put an end to any plans of marriage, if indeed there were any. Elizabeth was forced to distance herself from Dudley and consider other suitors.
Many see Elizabeth's final visit to Kenilworth in 1575 as Dudley's last chance to impress the Queen and win her hand in marriage. Dudley went to extraordinary lengths to impress his queen:
The building of Leicester's Building, a tower block of state apartments built specifically to provide private and luxury accommodation for the Queen and her servants. It was built between 1571 and 1572 and was used by Elizabeth in 1572 but then improved for her 1575 visit.
The building of Leicester's Gatehouse in 1571-1572 to give the castle a grand entrance from the church and the Coventry road.
The privy garden - Dudley ordered a beautiful privy garden to be made for the Queen.
Pleasure grounds - The whole landscape around the castle was improved and Langham writes of how there were "many shady bowers, arbours, seats and walks". There were also plenty of tall and fragrant trees. A bridge was also built to connect the chase and the gatehouse and there was a viewing platform over the mere.
A firework display - A magnificent firework display took place one night across the surrounding mere.
A play - On another evening there was a play featuring Triton riding an 18 foot long mermaid and moving islands carrying the Lady of the Lake and her nymphs.
Hunting - The park and chase were well stocked with deer and game and the mere was rich in wild fowl, perfect for a Queen who loved to hunt.
The masque - George Gascoigne had written a masque "Zabeta" (a play on the name "Elizabeth") which was unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather. The Kenilworth Castle Guidebook describes this masque as having a "story hinged on a debate about whether the chaste nymph, Zabeta, should wed, and concluded with a speech urging the queen to marry." Although it was never performed, Gascoigne improvised with a special farewell to the Queen which consisted of Elizabeth being intercepted by an actor playing "deep desire" (dressed as a holly bush), representing Dudley, who said to her:
"Live here, good Queen, live here;
You are amongst your friends.
Their comfort comes when you approach,
And when you part it ends."
A privy garden was designed and made for Elizabeth I's own personal enjoyment, a paradise to please and impress the Queen. Although the garden was private and for Elizabeth's eyes only, Robert Langham was able to get into it with the help of a friendly gardener so we have a contemporary description of it which has enabled English Heritage to recreate it in the castle grounds. Features of the garden included:
A terrace - This led from the loggia and gave a superb view over the garden. The terrace was and is lined with a balustrade decorated with obelisks, spheres and the bear and ragged staff (Dudley's emblem).
Arbours - Langham wrote of how two arbours "perfumed by sweet trees and flowers" were placed at each end of the terrace.
Plants - Langham did not go into detail on the plants used in the garden so English Heritage have based their choice on other contemporary evidence such as documents and tapestries. The traditional knot pattern has been used along with popular Elizabethan plants and flowers, and English fruit trees.
The marble fountain - This is the centrepiece of the garden and is made from white Carrara marble from Tuscany, Italy, just like the original. It features two "Athlants" supporting a "boil" and it is topped with Dudley's bear and ragged staff emblem. The eight panels at the bottom feature scenes from Ovid's "Metamorposes".
The aviary - The aviary housed birds like the African guinea fowl and canaries and was topped with a cornice painted to appear as though it was decorated with precious jewels.
Huge obelisks - Langham described these as being carved out of porphyry, a rare Egyptian purple marble.
Langham wrote of the garden:
" a garden so appointed to feel the pleasant whisking wind above, or delectable coolness of the fountain-spring beneath; to taste of delicious strawberries, cherries and other fruits... to smell such fragrancy of sweet odours, breathing from the plants, herbs and flowers; to hear such natural melodious music and tunes of birds."
I studied at the nearby Warwick University so Kenilworth Castle was one of my weekend haunts but it was still magical to visit it again in 2010 with my family. It is a beautiful castle and it gave me shivers walking around Leicester's Gatehouse and the ruins of Leicester's Building and thinking about Elizabeth visiting her "sweet Robyn" there in 1575. The Elizabethan Garden was not there the last time I had visited and so I was eager to see that. I was not disappointed, it was beautiful and made me understand just how much Elizabeth I meant to Robert Dudley. To lay on such wonderful entertainment, build special buildings and create such a paradise surely shows how much he loved her. What a shame that his plan to marry her backfired. Dudley ended up marrying Lettice Knollys and Elizabeth never returned to Kenilworth, a sad story.
Here are some photos I took on my visit to Kenilworth Castle:

Remember your old boring Geography class in school? Did you ever wonder whether it really mattered if you knew exactly where various states were located in the United States? Really, you are not even able to drive yet and what if you never planned on even visiting those states when you got older? Well, I've noticed the fruits of this mentality in adults over the years, so this year I wanted to try something different with the Tribe.
First of all, let me thank one of our followers on Facebook over in the U.K. for the recommendation to review When We Ruled by Robin Walker. I certainly hope to hear more from them as they have some great insight on homeschooling in another country!
Now, how many textbooks have you had during your school career that really changed your life? Let me tell you, When We Ruled has the power to not only change your kid's life, but your life as well as the reader and teacher. As a college graduate, I know more about Greek Mythology, European History, non-African languages, overall more about so many other groups than my own! If knowledge was an identity test, I honestly could not call myself an African-American. But Robin Walker's work is definitely upping my knowledge game.
So far, this book is a true textbook with over 700-pages of not just text, but photos, maps, and notes as well. When I found out that he also put together a When We Ruled Study Guide and Reading Plan, that put the icing on the cake and makes it a must have in the curriculum of a homeschooled child. Dare I say any homeschooled child, regardless of ethnicity? If science has admitted that all life originated from Africa, then why would this work be excluded? Sadly, because it is about Africa (and not fitting into the usual narrative of spear-chucking and half-naked people) and has a so-called Black author, I'm sure it would be dismissed by many and that is a sad shame.
As you can see below, the study guide assigns a certain number of pages each day along with Test Yourself Questions, to bring out the main points of each chapter. I love how Walker uses study techniques like re-reading a chapter, having students study the picture and the caption, and will even ask a question forcing the reader to understand how certain positions stand or get refuted in modern history.
Now this is just part one of a series of posts we plan to do on When We Ruled. I have discovered quite a few different ways to apply the historical lessons from this book into bible and science as well. Therefore, the knowledge gets applied and reinforced, you know, the same way it is in traditional school when you learn that the Greeks and the Romans perfected language, knowledge, teaching, philosophy, medicine, fitness, the heavenly bodies, the days of the week, religion, and the list goes on and on!
And that brings me to my last point. I have read some that question the history that Robin Walker outlines. Of course, I think all things should be tested and if false, rejected regardless of the source. However, much of the criticism that I have read thus far are similar to other arguments that I have heard made about African history which basically say, "there is no way African people could have been that smart".
My point? All of our lives we have been taught to never question what the Dominant Society tells us about ourselves, no matter how racist their worldview, but we will doubt knowledge from those who have no ax to grind. Or put another way, why do we always think someone else's ice is colder?

The Deer Valley Are consists of 4 main areas. These are Lower Deer Valley, Upper Deer Valley, Deer Crest and Empire Pass.
Lower Deer Valley properties are in great demand during all four seasons as a result of their ideal location. Positioned near the main base area of Deer Valley Resort?, these homes and condominiums are also located within close proximity to Main Street nightclubs, restaurants and shops. The resort's Snow Park Lodge sits less than a mile away from Old Town and serves as a popular, year-round hub for outdoor activities. Nearly all properties share dramatic views of the mountain and ski slopes.

Cecilia Fox | Weekly Record Herald Stan Evans portrays Samuel Sullivan, a local teacher and businessman and the father of a Miami County judge, during the fifth annual cemetery walk at Maple Hill Cemetery in 2015.
TIPP CITY — The seventh annual cemetery walk, "If Tombstones Could Talk…" will take place from 5-7 p.m. on Sunday, June 4. It will take place at Maple Hill Cemetery, which is on S. Hyatt St. in Tipp City.
The family history of local painter Roger Haas will be shared by David Glaser, Jean Glaser Ware and Reed Hass. Bob Bartley will give the history of American Legion Post No. 586 at their memorial.
Remember Ralph and Nel Rodenberg of the decorator store? Their business and community involvement will be shared by their son, Bill. Gordon Honeyman will portray L.T. Ball, Tipp Schools Superintendent for many years. Susan Furlong and Marilee Lake will portray the infamous "Mast Girls," Erma and Danza, and give the history of their family.
This event is sponsored by the Tippecanoe Historical Society. The historical society encourages those of all ages to stroll from site to site to hear the interesting stories of people from the past who called Tippecanoe/Tipp City their home. Take some extra time to check out the very unusual stones, many of which tell their own stories. Explain to your families the special markers and the sacrifice and service they represent. Talk with your families about the many people you remember through school and community associations.
If it is too difficult for you to navigate the cemetery grounds, you are welcome to drive from site to site. The township trustees do ask that you park in such a way that you do not block the drive as there might be those who are there to visit a particular site and not take part in the cemetery walk. The society does appreciate the work done by the cemetery staff to prepare the cemetery for this activity.
There will be people from the Society at the entrances to provide maps of the walk. For further information call Paula at (937) 545-5201 or Susie at (937) 698-6798.

We think social media is neutral and forget that it is highly biased and it has an agenda of its own. This decreases the potential of a so called "social" network as an infinite playground that allows us to connect and share informations worldwide.
Can we allow an algorithm, a computer program designed by men, to decide on our interests to influence our habits and even to shape our opinions - to keep us online?
It is all about the so called "Filter Bubble", a whimsical name for a phenomenon that could have far-reaching and dangerous implications on today's society and on ourselves.
Left as living museums of unhampered evolution, wilderness areas can be touchstones to ways of knowing and relating to the world that shaped us as a species. It is scientifically highly relevant to prevent this wild and pristine areas from extinction to preserve this diverse gen pools for further research and next generations.
The Anthropocene, the age of human activities creates big difficulties in the goal of preserving the last existing wilderness areas. The immense human impacts on the world like synthetic environments, designed ecosystems and planned extinction are now integral to the world formerly known as natural.
To ensure the survival of these areas, human influences need to be alienated and reduced to a minimum.
One important consideration is whether last wild areas can be left alone or some sort of active human curation is always needed to sustain them.
Wilderness is once both a landscape condition and a human-nature relationship. Both are legacies we should preserve for future generations.
Its evidence is supported by many studies but we often neglect it: Preventive health care imporves life quality. What we do in our daily lives, our habits, our rituals, they have a great impact on how healthy we are and how good we feel. By designing and proposing new habits, we raise awareness on the importance of a healthy lifestyle within the daily routines.
The pharmacy of today is made for responding the needs of ill people, who expect a quick remedy to their health problems in the shape of a pill. This practice is also enforced by our today's healthcare system and big-pharma industries.
Our imaginative future healthcare paradigm rejects this practice and proposes a wholistic approach by promoting prevention and healthy routines.
City governments, researchers as well as environmental activists cooperate on recreating new structures for a more biodiverse city. Not only pollinators are essential for a healthy microclimate in the city but also for a rich harvest. The idea of using species as bio-indicators in the city is already proven and brings new perspectives in understanding the complexity of urban systems.
The idea is to invite the citizen to share space with other species and to motivate them to provide the species a simple housing including food and shelter.

Q: Dependency property default value not being overriden I am trying to override the value of a dependency property but it doesn't seem to be working.
In my Xaml code I have a button with the following CommandParameter :
CommandParameter="{Binding State,Mode=OneWay}

and here I declare my dependency property:
public class MyStateControl : UserControl
{
  public MyStateControl()
  {
      this.InitializeComponent();
  }

  public string State
  {
    get { return (string)this.GetValue(StateProperty); }
    set { this.SetValue(StateProperty, value); }
  }
  public static readonly DependencyProperty StateProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
    "State", typeof(string), typeof(MyStateControl),new   PropertyMetadata("DEFAULT"));
}

and then here I try to get that value to use it, after overriding it.
When I press the button, onMyCommandExecuted gets called. and the value of obj is "DEFAULT"
public class MyAdvancedStateControl : INotifyPropertyChanged
{

  public MyAdvancedStateControl()
  {
   MyStateControl.StateProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(MyAdvancedStateControl), new PropertyMetadata("Successfully overriden"));
  }

  private void onMyCommandExecuted(object obj)
  {
    //TODO
  }
}

Am I doing something wrong? If so, what's the best way to override the value of a dependency property?
And would it be possible/ probably better to set the default value as a variable that I can then change easily from MyAdvancedStateControl?
Thank you

A: Make the constructor of MyAdvancedStateControl static.

Dependency property metadata should be overridden before the property
  system uses the dependency property. This equates to the time that
  specific instances are created using the class that registers the
  dependency property. Calls to OverrideMetadata should only be
  performed within the static constructors of the type that provides
  itself as the forType parameter of this method, or through similar
  instantiation. Attempting to change metadata after instances of the
  owner type exist will not raise exceptions, but will result in
  inconsistent behaviors in the property system.

From DependencyProperty.OverrideMetadata
public static MyAdvancedStateControl()
{
    MyStateControl.StateProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(MyStateControl), new PropertyMetadata("Successfully overriden"));
}

Performance and the Politics of Fear
Delivered by Dr Patrick Duggan
For sociologist Frank Furedi, the contemporary moment is defined by the emergence of what he calls a 'culture of fear' in which fear and anxiety have become so prevalent in public discourse, and personal and political relationships, as to have a profound impact on how people interact with one another as individuals and as democratic agents. Taking this as a broad starting point, this paper investigates the philosophical, political, and socio-cultural nature and 'function' of performances that attend to, intervene in, challenge, and/or (re)articulate discourses of fear.
Dr Patrick Duggan joined the Drama Department at University of Surrey as Senior Lecturer in Theatre and Performance in February 2015. Prior to that, he was Lecturer in Drama at University of Exeter (2012 – 2015) and previously a lecturer in the Division of Performance Studies, University of Northampton.
As well as numerous journal articles and book chapters, his publications include a special issue of the international journal Performance Research, entitled On Trauma (2011), a monograph investigating the relationship between contemporary performance and trauma – Trauma-Tragedy: Symptoms of Contemporary Performance (Manchester UP 2012), and an edited volume on the history and politics of small-scale British theatre – Reverberations Across Small-Scale British Theatre: Politics, Aesthetics and Forms (Intellect 2013). He have recently published a co-edited collection entitled Performing (for) Survival: Theatre, Crisis and Extremity (Palgrave 2016); the book examines performance practices that emerged in and during moments of conflict, crisis and extremity (rather than applied practices or on post fact representations).He is currently working on a full length monograph under the title Performance and the Politics of Fear (for publication 2021), a co-edited special issue of the international journal Performance Research entitled Staging the Wreckage (Vol. 24, Issue 5, 2019), and a collaborative research project exploring the interrelation of performance and resilience in city contexts (see https://performingcityresilience.wordpress.com for more information).

In the backyard of their house with the very best view in town, looking over the river and out onto the lake, our dear friends Jim and Jodi were married. In the vows they wrote for one another, Jim talked about his life before Jodi, and how deeply he valued his independence. When he said it, we all laughed, because it was the understatement of the decade, like saying Janis Joplin valued a good cocktail. Watching Jim become a partner and companion, and more than that, a father and grandfather, has been a moving and very surprising transformation, and he's more surprised than anyone. For years, he's worked and traveled and built a company and skied and sailed on his own schedule, at his own whim.
And then came Jodi, this gorgeous woman whose deepest commitment is to her children and grandchildren, and the life she invited him into was more about Santa than ski season and more about naptime than staying out all night. And although there have been some parts of himself that he has left behind, those of us who love him know that the man who stood before Jodi that night is the best Jim we've ever known, and that what he gave up is nothing in comparison to what he has gained.
Last summer, Kaj, Jodi's grandson, was on the boat with Todd and my dad and me, and I asked him conspiratorially, "Kaj, you can tell me the truth: who do you think is better at driving the boat, Todd or Bill?" And he looked at one and then the other, and he said, "Jim!" Jim's name wasn't even in the running that day, but for Kaj, it always is.
That night, Jim became a father and a grandfather, although really, Jim became Kaj's papa long before the wedding. He became his papa little by little over five summers, playing in the sand and jumping off the boat and making sure Kaj's life jacket was buckled right every time.
Just after the ceremony, back in the house for a moment, Jodi's daughter, Josilyn, hugged Jim. "Hi, Dad," she said, trying to make it sound casual. Neither of them was fooled.
"I've been waiting to say that for such a long time!" she said through her tears. Just about as long as he'd been waiting to hear it.
In the same way that he became Kaj's papa little by little over five years, he'd become Josilyn's dad that way, too, on snowboarding trips and boat rides, helping with homework and watching her games.
That night didn't feel like a beginning, the way that some weddings do. It felt better than that. It felt like a celebration for something that began a long time ago, and like what we were doing that night was stopping to notice and celebrate this glorious thing that had been inching its way into existence day by day, growing like a slender tough stalk, almost imperceptibly, until one day you realize it's become a strong tall tree, providing shade and protection to everyone under its branches.
There's something about a marriage of adults, -people who own homes and businesses and have families and patterns and traditions. Of course, there is something so sweet and shining about a young bride and groom, and their first home and first dishes and first set of towels. But there is a different beauty and a different force when two -people who have been down that road far enough to hit some bumps decide to bend themselves once again toward partnership. Where there was naïveté, here there is sobriety. Where a young bride leaves her family, an older bride brings hers with her. Where a young groom hopes all goes well, an older groom knows what to do when it doesn't.
That night felt sacred and beautiful and imbued with something heavy. It was a hard-won celebration, a willingness to re-believe in love, to fall again, to teach and be taught, to enter through a door both had believed was closed forever. We danced and ate cake and toasted them with champagne and told crazy old sailing stories, for our own benefit, certainly, since every person there had heard them all a million times. We laughed and let the kids stay up way too late and watched the bobbing mast lights on the sailboats in the harbor, hypnotized by them and by the beauty and hope of that night.

Q: wedriverio jenkins - npm command not found error I am trying to run webdriverio test from jenkins and following this . I installed nodeJS plugin for jenkins and under global tool config, for NodeJS , added a name and installation directory as /usr/local/bin (node executable is in this folder)
In Jenkins, in project config , under build environment, I have checked
Provide Node & npm bin/ folder to PATH and chosen the node installation name from previous step
But when I am trying to run npm install
npm test ,by adding these commands under execute shell under Build and building it,  I receive this error
Building in workspace /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/workspace/wdio-project
[wdio-project] $ /bin/sh -xe /Users/Shared/Jenkins/tmp/hudson1478028169114509075.sh
+ npm install
/Users/Shared/Jenkins/tmp/hudson1478028169114509075.sh: line 2: npm: command not found
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

A: There is currently a bug opened about this (JENKINS-26583 and JENKINS-27170)
I could workaround this bug by adding explicitly node on the PATH by adding this line :
export PATH=$PATH:/home/jenkins/.jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/node_js/bin/

A: In case someone is looking for same issue, I resolved the above error by adding export PATH=/usr/local/bin to the execute shell under build. This post helped me

A: I had just fixed the same issue as you did.
I wonder if my fix would also help you. When I was using the alpine-based docker image, the Jenkins can never find the npm, but when I use the debian-based docker image, problem solved immediately.

A: Try this export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

A: After installation of NodeJS restart pc

A: In my case this worked -
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

I've been trying to make two cells which have drop-down menus allowing someone to select a class and subclass. To avoid clutter, I've been trying to make it so that after a class is selected, the 'subclass' dropdown box only shows subclasses for the selected class.
Looking online, it seems the best way to do this is to make a proxy column where each cell corresponds to one of the options you want, then populate it with the selected class's subclasses based on the value of the 'class' cell (I found this approach in this tutorial).
Unfortunately, the solution given in the tutorial is gross and doesn't scale. I might be adding new classes or subclasses in the future, and don't want to have to make a brand new formula every time I want a new class. While the formula provided can be easily extended to work for potentially infinite subclasses, adding a new class requires copying and pasting a bunch of code into what will eventually become longer and longer piece of spaghetti.
Despite this, I've found a formula that does scale for both! Examining the below screenshot, pay particular attention to P11 (the out-of-place block of text beneath the '3'):

The formula in the highlighted cell is identical to the formula in P11, which you can see displays the expected results (the cell E3 in another tab has been set to 'Cleric'). Despite this, the other cell displays an 'An array value could not be found' error. Some debugging reveals this to be a problem with the 'MATCH' statements in the formula (which also cause an error when placed individually into the same cell).
The Problem
If the 'MATCH' statement were to work in this cell as it does in the other cell, I would have no worries. Hence, I'd like to know why I'm getting the error I'm getting, and how to fix it.
On the other hand, maybe there's a better way of solving this problem that I haven't even thought of which I'm better off using in the long term, in which case I'm open for hearing that too. If you notice the rows for 'Subclass Prefix' and 'Subclass Suffix', my next plan is to make all the subclasses automatically have a given suffix and prefix, so it'd be nice for my final approach to be friendly to this (brownie points if you can point me in the right way to accomplishing this).
Supplementary Material
The following is the formula visible in the spreadsheet.
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(REGEXREPLACE(ADDRESS(7, MATCH('Basic Character Details'!E3, D3:3, D7:7)+3, 4, False), "[\[\]]", ""), ":", REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(ADDRESS(7, MATCH('Basic Character Details'!E3, D3:3, D7:7)+3, 4, False), "[\[\]]", ""), "^..", "")), False)

A: As a more robust and future-proof solution, I'd suggest laying your data out like this and using a QUERY() function to limit what goes into your subclass options:
COL A       COL B

Class       Subclass
---------------------------
Fighter     Champion
Fighter     Battle Master
Fighter     Eldritch Knight
etc.

For your first list that goes into the data validation (unique Classes) the query looks like this:
=QUERY(A:B, "SELECT A, COUNT(A) GROUP BY A")

Then once someone has selected a class, the valid subclass list is returned like this:
=QUERY(A:B, "SELECT B, COUNT(B) WHERE A = '" &D1& "' GROUP BY B")

(Where D1 is the location of the currently selected class). Don't forget the single quotes or the query won't work.
You can see how adding the prefixes and suffixes to this data structure could allow you to accomplish the same thing with those as well.
FYI - The QUERY() function is unique to Google Sheets AFAIK.
