Q: Calling a method from class to another using Java for Selenium Webdriver I am new to Selenium and Java. The basic idea about my code is, I have created two classes namely first and second under my java project. My first class consists of all the methods (opening a browser, login, logout) and my second class consists of the main program to inherit all the methods from the first.
I have created an excel stating which test case (login , logout) should run based on the excel sheet. The test case will be executed based on "Y" or "N" under Execute column in Excel sheet
When I tried to run my second class it showed an error. Please find my code below and the error and excel sheet as image from where the test case ought to run.
This is my Second class (Main program)
package asdf;

import java.io.File;

import jxl.Cell;
import jxl.Sheet;
import jxl.Workbook;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class second {

    @DataProvider(name = "DP1")
    public Object[][] createData1() throws Exception {
        Object[][]retObjArr=getTableArray("Resource\\Testdata.xls","credentials","TD");
        return(retObjArr);
    }

    @Test(dataProvider = "DP1")
    public void execution(String TCname, String TCDescription, String Execute) {
        first r=new first();
        if(Execute.equalsIgnoreCase("Y")) {
            if(TCname.equalsIgnoreCase("TC01")) {
                r.login();
            } else if(TCname.equalsIgnoreCase("TC02")) {
                r.login();
            r.logout();
        }
        } else {
        throw new SkipException("Skipping this test case: "+TCname);
        }
    }

    public String[][] getTableArray(String xlFilePath, String sheetName, String tableName) throws Exception {
        String[][] tabArray=null;
        Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File(xlFilePath));
        Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(sheetName);
        int startRow,startCol, endRow, endCol, ci, cj;
        Cell tableStart=sheet.findCell(tableName);
        startRow = tableStart.getRow();
        startCol = tableStart.getColumn();
        Cell tableEnd = sheet.findCell(tableName, startCol+1, startRow+1, 100, 64000,  false);
        endRow = tableEnd.getRow();
        endCol=tableEnd.getColumn();

        System.out.println("startRow="+startRow+",  endRow="+endRow+", " + "startCol="+startCol+", endCol="+endCol);
        tabArray = new String[endRow-startRow-1][endCol-startCol-1];
        ci=0;

        for (int i=startRow+1;i<endRow;i++,ci++) {
            cj=0;
            for (int j=startCol+1;j<endCol;j++,cj++) {
                tabArray[ci][cj]=sheet.getCell(j,i).getContents();
            }
        }
        return(tabArray);
    }
}

**This is my First class (which contains all the methods and should return these methods to Second class)**

    driver.findElement(By.name("Passwd")).sendKeys("mercury");

    driver.findElement(By.name("signIn")).click();
    }

A: You are missing the path to executable IE driver. Try this:
File file = new File("C:/Selenium/iexploredriver.exe"); // your location of driver
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Hope that helps.

A: Try below code , may b it resolve the issue -
public class first {

{

    System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "D:\\Pradeep\\pradeep\\IEDriverServer.exe");
         // your location of driver

}

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

public String baseUrl = "http://newtours.demoaut.com/";

...... then your code

Q: Importing oracle dump file, getting error on stored procedures I export an oracle "schema" using
exp userid=/ file=pt.dmp log=pt.log owner=FOO buffer=10000000 statistics=NONE direct=Y

and then import it into a different schema on the same oracle instance on the same SID using
imp userid=/ file=pt.dmp fromuser=FOO touser=paul

When I try to access the stored procedures, I get
ORA-29541: class PAUL.ESMQOracleStoredProc could not be resolved

Any idea why one user can resolve this but another one can't?

A: I think you need "FULL" on the export. see this url:
link text

A: Did you get any failures in the import ?
Possibly an object didn't get created or replaced (maybe an object with the same name already existed).

PADI Divemaster course, idiveteam, offers the best value and most flexible course schedules in the area - LEARN TO DIVE with "idiveteam"
Why choose idiveteam for your Divemaster Course?
As you will be assisting us during the course, as well as being guided and taught throughout.
We offer an exceptionally competitive price to our candidates £ 389 per person.
Well it is the first course on the PADI Pro ladder so if you are wanting to become a PADI instructor this is your starting point. A lot of people take the course with no plans to go onto instructor but they want the extended skills that the PADI Divemaster Course offers. It really makes you a good and knowledgeable diver and the ability to ensure you and your fellow divers get the most out of diving in a safe and fun environment.
Another option is to study by reading the Divemaster Manual and watching the Divemaster Video (a book and DVD package).

Just in time for summer Rizzoli has a new, soon-to-be-released book about the ubiquitous beach house: Summer Houses by the Sea: The Shingle Style by Bret Morgan. Of course I have to lead this post with the most famous house featured in the book, Grey Gardens, which recently sold.
What makes this book different from others on the same subject is not only the never-before-published, full-page photographs to drool over but FLOORPLANS for many of the houses! I know that will draw some attention from ArchitectDesign readers!
Not all of the houses featured are turn of the last century either, with many new builds and even some modern projects such as this sinuous house built for a scientist, seen above, in Seal Harbor by architect Peter Forbes. I love the little 'labs' on the roof.
My favorite of the featured houses though has to be the gambrel roofed Mallinckrodt Cottage from 1898, seen above, in Jamestown, RI. Notice the charming views from the living room windows below. If one has to be indoors at a beach house you may as well have water views (including views of other houses!) and a fireplace.
The sweeping screened porch of Rosserne, below, in Northeast Harbor isn't so bad either! Nap time on that chaise longue perhaps?
I think Summer Houses by the Sea: The Shingle Style is the perfect addition to any design library as the definitive grouping of the style: definitely check this one out!
One of the great charities of Great Britain (and beyond) is the Landmark Trust. While we all talk about restoring significant old houses they are out there doing the hard work to the most vulnerable properties. Many times they restore structures that are seen as beyond saving that don't necessarily make any sense financially but how do you put a pricetag on our cultural heritage? The best part is most are available to rent for your vacations after restoration!
Later this summer for my birthday I'm actually renting the small folly shown in these pictures. For 4 days I'll be calling this miniature chateau home as I travel around the countryside visiting stately homes!
However, when the Trust acquired the house in 1982 it was in the state seen above; a total reconstruction! Read more about the restoration HERE if interested. The funds raised by the Trust through donations, holiday rentals, and different events helps to fund these restorations.
Currently they are running a lottery promotion to raise funds to save Fairburn tower- each ticket enters you to win one of 7 prizes; money towards your own rentals! Buy your tickets for the raffle HERE by May 17, 2019. As you can see below the tower really needs major work in order to survive.
In a few short years the tower will be a lovely, habitable house again that you can rent for your family for an unforgettable vacation!
The standards of the Trust are extremely high as seen here by the charming interiors of the Chateau. I can't wait to call this home!
Not all of the rentals are this small, many are full houses and even castles for all of your family and friends and at great rates I might add.
Next vacation (or holiday given the country in which they mostly operate) consider renting your own castle and put your money where your mouth is regarding historic preservation. Visit The Landmark Trust HERE.

Because Usagi has a zillion different identities, I'm arguing in favor of seperate pages for at least some of them. :p --Elfir 12:13, 16 May 2006 (MST)
I agree... I'm actually in favour of separate Senshi/civilan identity articles, but until we actually have some articles about their civilain forms I don't think it's that important a point.
Okay, what's with the character psychoanalysis? I would personally debate the assertion being made there, and don't see what it has to do with anything. Kerochan no Miko 00:57, 27 June 2006 (MST)
Well, it's neither supposed to be hard-core professional (hence the word "psychoanalyticalLY", meaning in such fashion or style), nor the only possible way of understanding PSM. Alternative ways of understanding under different theoretical traditions can always be added. Whatever ways, the aim is to offer different angles to understand the character (an analogy is that you may use MRI scan and/or PET scan and/or X-way and/or whatever to look at a patient's physiological structure with different kinds of images generated).210.245.162.185 06:37, 27 June 2006 (MST)
I think KnM's point is that it's purely speculation, and at the moment it looks like an extablished fact. At the very least this should be labelled as a fan theory, but I'm not even sure about that, because it's basically just the opinions of one fan. And in all fairness, even a professional psychoanalyst would struggle to do a decent job of analysing a fictional character. Dooky 07:57, 27 June 2006 (MST)
Exactly. At best, it's just fanwank - dressing up speculation in fancy terms doesn't make it any more legitimate. AFAIK, this project is about facts and not theoretical ways to "understand" characters. She is what she is. Kerochan no Miko 11:50, 27 June 2006 (MST)
Editing done in the fashion of Mio Kuroki's article. Now I think using the word "psychoanalytically" is not good as it gives an impression of being professional, which isn't the case and is never intended to be, and I'd also doubted if it was an established English word when I wrote it.210.245.162.185 17:52, 27 June 2006 (MST)
I would still debate that PSM is a "fragment" of Serenity - there's no indication that I've seen that she's any way less than the Princess, and if anything is more, considering that she has access to Sailor Moon's powers as well. Kerochan no Miko 19:01, 27 June 2006 (MST)
It's a tricky subject, because there are numerous characters whose natures are never explained and are hence hightly debatable. The example that's popped into my head just now is Ptilol. I can't wade into this debate because I haven't seen the series, but I strongly suggest keeping the comments confined to common arguments in the fandom and not spiralling off into pet theories. Dooky 19:21, 27 June 2006 (MST)
Agreed - I don't see any reason to have the "speculation" section at all. The aforementioned bit about Kuroki Mio is valid because they explicitly state that she's Beryl's "shadow" but there's never any discussion that I recall of PSM's mental state. Kerochan no Miko 23:11, 27 June 2006 (MST)
Okay, and the change made today doesn't improve matters any. It's completely speculation and doesn't belong in the article, IMHO. Kerochan no Miko 10:44, 28 June 2006 (MST)
Rewritten to avoid controversial psychological wordings. 210.245.162.185 19:36, 29 June 2006 (MST)
No, it's not the psychobabble that I object to, it's the fact that what you're putting there is baseless fan speculation. There's nothing that I can recall in canon that says PSM is "repressed feelings" of anything, so unless you can come up with a citation to prove the idea, it doesn't really belong in the article. IMHO. Kerochan no Miko 22:32, 29 June 2006 (MST)
In my last version, I've actually discarded wordings about repression. But anyway, I'm fed up with typing this ":::" thing (on-screen keyboard is a living hell). lol Won't respond on this issue again. Case closed. 210.245.162.185 00:35, 30 June 2006 (MST)
The new PSM image at the top looks cold & even a bit creepy, but that represents her character. --210 20:53, 17 February 2007 (MST)
Spoiler template[edit]
I removed this because, as I mentioned on the template's talk page, and in accordance with site policy, this whole project is full of spoilers and we don't have to warn people every time one's coming up. Dooky 23:06, 2 June 2006 (MST)

Q: Calling javascript validation function before submiting and calling servlet I am trying to validate the form and after that calling a servlet and it fails because form doesn't validete. I' ve pasted some code below. Could you give me some tips and help with this issue?

function validateForm()
{
    if(document.frm.username.value=="")
    {
      alert("User Name can not be left blank");
      document.frm.username.focus();
      return false;
    }
    else if(document.frm.pwd.value=="")
    {
      alert("Password can not be left blank");
      document.frm.password.focus();
      return false;
    }
}
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link href="/LoginExample/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<title>Login example</title>

<form name="loginform" action="login" method="post" onSubmit="return validateForm();">

 Enter user name: <input type="text" name="username">

Enter password: <input name="password" type="password">

<input type="submit">

</form>

<input type="button" value="register" name="Sign in">

A: Change your javascript function as follows,
function validateForm(event)
{
    event.preventDefault(); // this will prevent the submit event.
    if(document.loginform.username.value=="")
    {
      alert("User Name can not be left blank");
      document.loginform.username.focus();
      return false;
    }
    else if(document.loginform.password.value=="")
    {
      alert("Password can not be left blank");
      document.loginform.password.focus();
      return false;
    }
    else {
        document.loginform.submit();// fire submit event
    }
}

Also, pass the submit event in the function call like this,
<form name="loginform" action="login" method="post" onSubmit="return validateForm(event);">

the approach provided by Crowder is good, but you might also have to handle the submit event being fired anyway if the validation fails.
DEMO FIDDLE

A: You're using document.frm to refer to your form, but your form's name is loginform, not frm. So you want document.loginform if you want to rely on the automatically-created document properties.
I prefer not to rely on them. Instead, you might pass the form reference into your validation function:
<form ... onSubmit="return validateForm(this);" ...>

...and then use the argument in your function:
function validateForm(frm)
{
    if(frm.username.value=="")
    {
      alert("User Name can not be left blank");
      frm.username.focus();
      return false;
    }
    else if(frm.pwd.value=="")
    {
      alert("Password can not be left blank");
      frm.password.focus();
      return false;
    }
}

(Of course, there I'm still relying on automatic properties, in this case on the form object. If I wanted to really avoid them, I could use frm.querySelector("[name=username]") for the username field and frm.querySelector("[name=password]") for the password field. All modern browsers, and IE8, have querySelector. But at least only relying on the ones on the form is a bit more contained than worrying about everything that gets dumped on document.)
Here's your form and the code above in a snippet, with the action modified to take you to google.com (and the method modified to GET; both of those mods are just for the demo): Try it with a blank username or password, and you'll note that the form does not submit:

function validateForm(frm)
{
  if(frm.username.value=="")
  {
    alert("User Name can not be left blank");
    frm.username.focus();
    return false;
  }
  else if(frm.pwd.value=="")
  {
    alert("Password can not be left blank");
    frm.password.focus();
    return false;
  }
}
<form name="loginform" action="http://google.com/search?q=kittens" method="get" onSubmit="return validateForm(this);">

 Enter user name: <input type="text" name="username">

Enter password: <input name="password" type="password">

<input type="submit">

</form>


A different thread spurred me to ask this question. They still make dive tables, both PADI and NAUI have different ones. So how proficient are you at finding, your bottom and surface interval times on repetitive dive days?
Even tho I dive with a computer I still log all of my dives with using my tables.
Yes we do tend to rely on our gadgets don't we, I also use a comp for that primary task. But consider this, Dive tables are unbreakable old tech. If you have a watch, and bother to set it before each dive, and your comp goes belly up during the dive or surface interval, you are not SOL, You can still fall back on the more conservative profile the tables afford and still salvage the day. In more dire situations they can keep you from getting bent, if you calculate what your dive should be like if dived by the tables before hand, and your comp goes on the blink during a dive.
Always carry a set in my bag just in case.
I log all my dives using tables, and can use the PADI & SSI ones fine. Have only just bought a computer but I will continue to log as best I can with tables as well.
I have to review after the few winter months that I do not dive, but it comes back pretty fast, as I do not use a computer yet.
Somewhere between knowing them in my sleep and being able to use the ones I was trained on ok so I rounded down to be more conservative but wait don't you round up to be more conservative?
I teach people to use the tables and the wheel but dive with two computers. If I were to use the tables I'd be sitting out a lot of dives it's a rare dive where I do an actual square profile.
I dive with a computer, but I still use the table to log my dives. I use only the PADI, and if you use it regularly, it's easy, if I stop using it for a while, then I have to think a bit more to remember how it works.
I probably depend upon my computer more than a should. And while I have a set of tables, I don't use them between every dive. I am redundant on computers however, especially on trips.
i follow up all my dives with the tables, computer in hand. plus it is good practice for that one time the computer fails.
You will find in practise that sometimes a dive will be off the table while it is still a non decompression dive on your computer. Tell me what a table would say about the following.
Its improtant to know and understand tables but tables will restrict your diving which is why I dive with two computers. If one craps out I'm still good to go and the tables won't restrict my diving or make me sit out a dive. BTW I've never had a computer crap out on me although I've been with others who have. Also realize you have to dive with both. Having one sitting in your bag won't help.
I carry them and sure, I can use them, but in reality, what's the point anymore? Computers have replaced them, just like the calculator replaced the abacus. I have two computers from different manufacturers. So I always have a backup and don't have to worry about a software bug screwing it up.
Well, at least I thought it was funny.
Honestly, in the real world (which could just me my own twisted reality) I mostly only deal with them when I am helping students, although I do refer back to my nitrox tables on occasion. I really use the planning mode on my computer for most dive planning, but even so I have enough experience with the tables to have a good idea in my head before I even go to the dive computer.
Working tables is not your most efficient way to dive as we all know. Seldom do we find ourselves doing square profiles. But if something happens to my computer, I have the tables around for back up and try to put dive info. down in my logbook as I go, so that the tables will be of use to me if something were to happen to the computer.
I can't recite them, but I think I could work any table whether I was trained on that particular table or not. They all basically work the same.
I carry my wheel, and the EANx tables in my log book. I ALSO carry two computers, and that is how I plan my dives.
If you are not using a wheel, and doing multi-profile dives, than your tables are short changing you in terms of NDL, or you are diving your computer.
If I spent the time to calculate multi-profile dives on the wheel before each dive, I'd still be on the boat half way into the dive! :smiley5: So I computer my dive plan, and dive my computer!
During open water we were during the deep dive we were last in the group to go down to the 100 ft mark stayed at 35ft for 20 -25 mins then followed the DM to 100 ft did what we did another 10-15 mins came back up was down 35min.. by tables 19 min at 100 ft my DM put me in a DECO DIVE OR KILLED ME certain stuff like chinacat said if you go by tables you sit out alot.
Unfortunately PADI no longer teaches OW students with the wheel. That was, and I think still is with PADI advanced classes, the only way to plan a multi profile dive.
I'm a bit surprised that your instructor did not go over your dive plan in more detail. While I'll be the first to admit I dive my computer, I do generally do a reality check with the wheel if I think something we may plan could put me at risk.
What you are describing here however is a trust me dive. Your 100f dive at 19 minutes might have put you into deco. The max NDL with ZERO previous dives in the past few days is 25:00 minutes (Navy) or 20:00 minutes PADI. As you already had a bit of Nitrogen built up in your system from sitting at 35f, and you stayed at 100f for 19 minutes, you may have a deco obligation. If you did not meet your deco obligation (I have no way of knowing), they are put yourself at risk.
I don't do trust me dives. Had this been my instructor, I would at the minimum discuss this screwed up profile with him if not take it to the LDS owner for a review. This sounds dangerous to me, and likely more so for the instructor as I would assume he was at 100f longer than any of the students.
I dive with a computer, but log my dives with the PADI tables when I can.
I will say this - when i went back to take my Nitrox cert, I was very glad I had kept in practice!
If my computer indicated that I had one hour of NDL time at 100F the I would certainly stop diving that computer.
I have a general idea of what times are permitted at various depths, but I certainly don't have tables memorized. I know enough to sanity check the computer.
I can rock the PADI tables (and and nitrox) and the wheel. Never really spent any time with the tables from other agencies, however, so while I assume I could figure it out pretty quickly, I can't really say I know them.
For real diving, however, recreational multi-level dives are generally planned with my computer.
i can do it if i try. most of my diving to date i havnt really needed too.
I dive an AI DC. I tried to backup my DC with the tables on my first livaboard trip. At 5 dives per day (EAN 32), I quickly ran out of pressure groups to carry over. Maybe if I was doing the multilevel calculations I could have kept up. I still take the tables with me for contingency planning.
I'm lazy and generally dive my computer (VR3 backed up with BT). That said, I know the limits/models well enough to get myself out of the water just guessing. I won't say I'd dive again that day but that would depend entirely on the profiles I've done. On serious dives, I usually plan a schedule and dive it. The computer is there as a sanity check and for unforeseen bailouts.
As for tables, well I know the RDP from my days DM'ing, the IANTD tables as well as numerous cut tables with Dplan, Jplan and GAP. Its gotten to the point that for shallow dives (<50ft) and less than 3-4 dives spread out in a day, I can pretty much dive without referencing a computer and still make the computer happy.
I dive with a computer but i know my tables fairly well (not by heart). I'm looking into getting another computer for a back up just incase y2k decides to visit my primary.
Before computers I had a simple algorithm for dives. My depth in feet and time in minutes when added together could not exceed 100 minutes. Now mind you this is for flat profiles but was a pretty reasonable rule for most reef dives.
I can actually do both NAUI and PADI but I voted for knowing the one that I was trained on. Can't recite them in my sleep.
I don't know my tables by memory, but I can use the PADI Tables very well, as I do not own a computer yet.
I use a computer now but for years i went by the 120 rule,depth plus minutes as long as you kept it under 120 total it worked out pretty well and was very easy to remember.
I think tables are easy and fun! I had a blast during my Nitrox class with pressure group problems that our instructor gave us to practice!

Rumors of Steve Jobs' demise were greatly exaggerated.
After Apple's stock lost about $10 billion in four minutes Thursday, some rumors began to service about the the company's CEO's health.
Some suggested the stock tanked because Jobs was in a hospital, while others speculated that the loss could have been because of the underwhelming lines at Verizon stores on day one of the iPhone officially joining the "Can you hear me now" network.
Jobs took medical leave from Apple three weeks ago for undisclosed medical reasons.
But Friday Apple said Jobs remains involved in the Cupertino-based company's strategic decisions.
In fact, Jobs is so involved that he has been working from home and even conducting business meetings out of his pajamas -- which might look a lot like his patented blue jeans and black shirt.
Apple's CEO has even reportedly been seen at the company's headquarters. Jobs has been involved in the development of the new iPad, which is due out in the coming weeks.

Recovery Man excerpt
When she arrives home from school on Callisto, Talia Shindo finds two strange men in her house. They terrorize her, and kidnap her mother. The men leave Talia behind. She's thirteen, brilliant, and determined to find her missing mother.
Retrieval Artist Miles Flint works a seemingly unrelated case, digging into files left him by his mentor. Only he finds a connection to the Shindo kidnapping, a connection that shatters everything he ever knew.
The two cases collide, changing Flint, changing Talia, and changing the universe around them—forever.
Recovery Man
Jupiter filled the Dome as Rhonda Shindo pressed the chip on her wrist to slow the express sidewalk. She glanced upward, always startled when the planet loomed so large. That night, Jupiter was sand-colored with streaks of brown. Sometimes it seemed redder, and sometimes it had more orange.
Sometimes Valhalla Basin paid homage to the red spot by dotting the entire Dome with red splotches, but she just found that weird. A lot of things in the Basin were weird, not the least of which was the fake, overpowering scent of pine that filled her neighborhood, Evergreen Heights.
The Dome was low here, and there were no evergreens, not even fake ones. The neighborhood seemed more an exercise in wishful thinking than it was in careful design.
Still, she was lucky to live here. Evergreen Heights was an upper-middle neighborhood in Valhalla Basin, with all amenities provided by Aleyd Corporation. Her house had three bedrooms, a nice spa in what passed for the backyard, and a deluxe order-in kitchen that jetted any meal from any restaurant to her along the tubelines within thirty minutes of ordering.
It wasn't the most exclusive neighborhood in the Basin, but it was one of the nicest—even with the lack of trees and other plant life.
The sidewalk stopped at the intersection, and she stepped onto the regular, non-moving sidewalk, her high heels clicking against the hard surface as she walked the last half-block toward home. This evening she had a briefcase—a bit of work to finish at home, just a few easy analyses that she could do after her daughter, Talia, went to bed.
Rhonda's smile faded. Talia had grown difficult this past year. She'd moved to a new school, and it didn't challenge her. Rhonda didn't have the pay grade for an exclusive school, nor could she afford an at-home tutor.
But Talia's restlessness would create trouble. It always had with her father when his mind wasn't engaged, and it would with her.
She was becoming more and more like him as each day passed.
The neighborhood was quiet. Most of the houses were still locked and dark. Rhonda always got home earlier than her neighbors.
Her own house looked just as dark. For once, she'd beaten Talia home.
She crossed the mushy reddish brown stuff that someone had invented as a sort of Jovian Astroturf (and she wished it wasn't in the covenants for the neighborhood, because she'd rather have true Callisto dirt or some kind of artificial pavement than that junk), and circled around to the side door. The front door was just for show. She and Talia used the side door because it led to the very center of the house.
As she pressed her palm against the center of the door, she winced. The fake wood was hot. She pulled her hand back. Too many homes in the cheaper parts of Valhalla suffered from interior fires—a flaw in the design. Had that flaw been perpetrated here, as well?
"House," she said. "Tell me the inside temperature and air quality."
"Inner temperature, thirty-two degrees Celsius. Air quality, perfect Earth blend." This week, House's voice was warm and motherly. It had been Rhonda's turn to set the controls. When Talia set them, Rhonda never knew what kind of voice would greet her.
"Then why is the door hot?"
"A preponderance of electronic materials."
"Electronic materials?" Rhonda couldn't quite understand what that meant, but it sounded ominous. "Should I use the other door?"
"I am not programmed to give advice," House said. "Nor am I capable of being programmed for such advice. If you would like a House Monitor Upgrade, please contact…."
Rhonda sighed as House continued its advertisement, which was one she could recite from memory. At least once a day a comment of hers or Talia's sparked House's pitch for an upgrade.
"Did Talia place the electronic materials on the door?" Rhonda asked as she set down her briefcase. She would probably have to go to the front door, as much as she hated to. House was programmed to clean the main living room after anyone walked through it—a part of House's boilerplate programming that Rhonda couldn't override. Talia's father could have. He could have done a lot of things, like shut off that obnoxious ad that had to finish before House could answer her. But he had never been to Callisto. Sometimes Rhonda wondered if he even knew where Callisto was.
"I am sorry," House said. "Should I repeat the upgrade announcement, since it was clear you did not hear all of it?"
"No," Rhonda said through her teeth. There was no point in getting angry. House didn't care if she was angry or not. "Just tell me if Talia put the electronics on the door."
"Not this time," House said. "The electronics were placed by a man who deleted his identity from my files. He conducted a thorough scrub but forgot to delete the section in which I monitored his deletion. Would you like me to bring that up on the wall panel to your left?"
Rhonda's heart was beating a little too fast. "Yes, I would like to see that."
"No need," a voice said from beside her. "I did it."
She turned, breathing shallowly, part of her brain reminding her not to show her sudden alarm.
A little man stood beside her. He was wiry, with dark eyes and curly black hair that looked like it had exploded from the inside of his head. He had a heavy forehead and strong cheekbones.
She'd never seen him before.
"I don't think we've met, Mr.—"
"We haven't, ma'am, but I know who you are. You're Rhonda Shindo. And just so that we remain on an even footing, let me tell you that I'm a Recovery Man."
Every muscle in her back tightened. She wished she wasn't wearing heels. Adrenaline had started coursing through her, making her breathing irregular and urging her to run.
She couldn't run until she knew if he had gotten to Talia.
"I've never heard of a Recovery Man," Rhonda said.
"I think it's pretty self-explanatory," he said, arms at his side as if he were prepared for any sudden movements. "I recover things. Sometimes I even recover people."
"Like a Retrieval Artist," she said, her throat tightening.
"Naw," he said. "Like a Tracker, only without the regulations. I'm not a member of the Earth Alliance."
Her throat closed, and for a moment she couldn't speak. A Tracker made sense, even though she hadn't really Disappeared. Trackers found people for alien governments, usually, although sometimes they worked for lawyers or human governments.
Retrieval Artists worked for the clients, whomever that might be, and never gave up a Disappeared to someone who would kill the Disappeared.
Rhonda wasn't strictly a Disappeared—she kept her name and her identity and she had even worked at the same company for the past fourteen years—but she knew why Trackers would come after her. Or Retrieval Artists, which were always the better choice.
But she wasn't sure about this Recovery Man.
She made herself swallow. "What do you want?"
He leaned forward in an almost courtly little bow. She took the moment to look over his head to see if anyone else had accompanied him.
She couldn't see anyone, but this part of the house had a lot of nooks and crannies. People could hide.
"I work," he said as he rose, "for the Gyonnese."
She was trembling now. She'd prepared for this moment for years, but she still didn't feel ready.
Calm, she told herself. Stay calm. They haven't found Talia yet. That's why they're still here.
"And don't play dumb about the Gyonnese," he said. "It's all on record."
"I know," she said. "But that was settled long ago under Earth Alliance law."
She was taking a risk saying that, but she needed him to keep talking. She needed to lure him onto the front sidewalk, and then she could hit the panic button on her wrist. That would turn on the neighborhood alarms, and someone would come running.
But they had to be able to see her, and right now, while she was on the side of her house, they couldn't.
"Actually, ma'am," he said with that odd politeness, "the case would be settled if you'd handed over your daughter to the Gyonnese. But you didn't. You hid her."
"No, I didn't." Rhonda's voice wasn't shaking. She sounded calmer than she was. "She's been with me the whole time."
"Talia's not the child they want and you know it." He took one step toward her. She started to move backward, then stopped. There was something warm behind her.
She looked over her shoulder. Another man stood there. He was large and broad-shouldered, with tattoos all over his face. His eyes were more white than blue.
"Talia," the Recovery Man was saying, "is too young."
Rhonda didn't argue that point. She didn't want them to take Talia. But she had to keep them talking. She had to move to the street.
"Talia is the only child I have."
"Also technically true," the Recovery Man said. "But she's what the Gyonnese call a false child. Very clever of you to have the number placed inside the skin, behind an ear. We wouldn't have found it if we weren't using some of Aleyd's technology. Did you develop the scan search?"
"No," she said. "My specialty is biochemistry."
But they already knew that. They knew it better than anyone else.
"I was intrigued," the Recovery Man said. "The number in that little tag was six. There are five others out there."
Six, she wanted to correct him, but she didn't. She couldn't. Everything rested on this moment.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"Tell me where the real child is," he said.
"Talia is my real child," Rhonda said, and hoped that everything she knew about the Gyonnese was true. Because if it wasn't, she might be hurting her daughter.
"Technically, Talia's yours," the Recovery Man said. "But the Gyonnese want the original. The true child. Remember? I'm sure you do. It's the heart of the case against you."
The case against her had many hearts. Hearts she'd stopped from beating.
It didn't matter that it had been an accident. Unintended consequences were not excuses under Alliance law. All that mattered was the result. And the result had been death on a vast scale.
She shuddered.
"Please," she said. "Leave us alone."
She still had one opening. It was to her left side. One step, a turn, and then she could run. She could head into the street, clutching her wrist, and summon help, enough to divert these bastards so she could take Talia to Aleyd.
"You know I can't do that," the Recovery Man said.
"I don't know that. I've already told you where my child is."
"Give us the true child," the Recovery Man said, "or we take you."
Her mouth instantly went dry. She'd never planned for this contingency.
"You can't take me," she said. "I'm not on the warrant."
"We are under orders to take you."
"Show me the legal document giving you that right," she said, "and I'll come freely, so long as you let me contact my attorney."
Her attorney was on the Moon, but she was sure Aleyd would find one for her. Too bad she didn't have any attorneys ready for this. She'd never thought she would have to defend herself again.
That case was over.
"We don't need a legal document," the Recovery Man said.
"Yes, you do." This time she heard panic in her own voice. "The Gyonnese are part of the Alliance. They have to go by Alliance law, just like the rest of us."
"If you went by Alliance law," the Recovery Man said, "you would have given up the true child fourteen years ago. Humans flaunt this law all the time, with their Disappearance Companies that aren't prosecuted for secreting criminals away and giving them new identities. The Gyonnese decided if you people can do that, they can hire a Recovery Man."
Rhonda felt her cheeks heat. She took that step, then started to run, when the man behind her grabbed her arms.
His grip was so tight that tears came to her eyes.
"You're coming with us," the Recovery Man said.
"Let me contact my lawyer."
"If you had one, you'd've sent a message through your links by now." The Recovery Man was smarter than she wanted him to be. "And he can't help you anyway."
Her brain finally started to work. "Kidnapping is a capital offense in human societies."
"We're just taking you for questioning," the Recovery Man said.
"Against my will," Rhonda said.
He shrugged.
"What did you do to Talia?"
"Nothing," he said.
"But you said—"
"I said we found the tag."
"How?" Rhonda's voice broke. They couldn't hurt Talia. She'd wagered everything on the Gyonnese following the law, but they weren't. And if they weren't, Talia could be dead.
"Just a little touch behind her head. She'll wake up soon enough," the Recovery Man said. "Then she'll miss you and go to the authorities and someone will find our message attached to your door, and they'll know that you're a mass murderer who has so far managed to escape justice."
The man who held her shook her. "But not anymore." He spoke with a rough accent, one she hadn't heard before.
"Gyonnese law supercedes here," she said. "That's Alliance precedent, and under Gyonnese law—"
"The Gyonnese have true laws and false laws," the Recovery Man said. "They seem to thrive on more than one system. And while they prefer the known universe to see their true laws, sometimes they have to rely on the false laws."
"Like now," the other man said into her hair.
"But Talia," Rhonda said.
"You don't need to worry about her anymore," the Recovery Man said. "Now it's time to start worrying about yourself."

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' Trailer Drops
Nick Hall, 15 Feb 2022 | News
Just weeks after tantalising Tolkien fans with a first look at its The Lord of the Rings sequel The Rings of Power, Amazon Prime Video has dropped a blockbuster debut trailer. Arriving midway through Super Bowl LVI, the 60-second commercial spot was the first-ever audio-visual look at J.R.R. Tolkien's fabled Second Age, which is set to land on the streamer on September 2. Needless to say, it's epic.

Led by showrunners J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power transports fans back to the era of Elves, Dwarves, and Humans, capturing the same unique brand of fantasy last seen in The Hobbit. Set thousands of years before the events of the original Tolkien books, the new series introduces a host of new heroes under a familiar threat.
With new powers being forged, kingdoms rising to glory and falling to ruin, the future of Middle Earth remains on a knife's edge. Best of all, one of the 'greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen' makes a stark appearance, threatening to cover all the world in darkness.
"Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth," the officially synopsis reads. "From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will land on Prime Video on September 2, broadcast in more than 240 countries and territories around the world in multiple languages. New episodes will drop weekly, but for now, the first trailer will have to do.

Hyde: A victim's father finds Jose Fernandez statue 'troubling' | Commentary
Sun Sentinel Columnist |
Marlins president David Samson discusses the team's plans to build a 9-to-10-foot statue of Jose Fernandez for outside Marlins Park.
Mr. David Samson
President, Miami Marlins
501 Marlins Way
Dear Mr. Samson,
My son Kevin, 21 years old, along with his friends Vincenzo Libio (22) and Morgan Taylor Carr (21) were killed by drunk drivers in Tallahassee, FL on Sept. 6, 2015. The loss of these tremendous young people sent shockwaves through our families and the community of Tamarac, FL, and South Florida.
This is why the decisions by your organization to install a 'larger than life' 9-foot statue of Jose Fernandez are very troubling to many of us. …
This is the start of a father's letter that the Marlins and owner Jeffrey Loria can't get around.
Loria means well in commissioning a statue of the late pitcher for outside Marlins Park. He really does. But can he erect a statue that asks people to separate Fernandez's baseball life from his alcohol- and cocaine-impaired death in a boat crash that killed two other passengers?
Kevin Boos was nearly buried in a Fernandez jersey. His father, Robert, who wrote this letter, still thinks of that. Kevin was a fan of all the South Florida teams, but the final game he went to was a "Jose Day" in 2015. The Marlins won. Jose won.
Marlins building 9- or 10-foot statue of Jose Fernandez for outside Marlins Park
The Miami Marlins are building a larger-than-life statue of Jose Fernandez for outside Marlins Park, owner Jeffrey Loria said in an interview with ESPN.
By Tim Healey
Libio went with him to Marlins Park that day, too. They were childhood friends, growing up in Tamarac, playing sports from T-ball days and then attending Florida State together. Libio dated Carr since their junior year at Taravella High in Coral Springs.
The three were passengers when killed in a car crash at an intersection in Tallahassee. Both drivers survived and were found to have alcohol levels above the legal limit. The driver of the students, Nikolas Bonilla, 21, had a .099 blood-alcohol level. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail with a year's probation.
The driver of the other car, Stanley Jaboin, 27, had a .237 blood-alcohol level and was traveling at 79 mph just before the crash, the investigation showed. He faces three charges of vehicular manslaughter and multiple counts of leaving the scene of an accident.
"His trial is supposed to start next week,'' Robert Boos said. "It sounds like it will be postponed, but all the families have made plans to go up to Tallahassee for the trial. These are the things that happen in the aftermath."
This is what Fernandez would be going through had he survived as the boat driver. Such a trial would change that narrative, of course. Would a statue and a road-naming honoring Fernandez fit into that narrative?
Robert Boos watched the aftermath of Fernandez's death with everyone else. He just watched it through the prism of having lost a son in a crash that involved alcohol.
"The Marlins handled it perfectly, everything they did and said,'' Boos said. "That game where they all had on Jose's jersey? I just watched it the other day again, it was so amazing.
"If you let it go there — if you let it go at this point now, I think it's kind of just run its course. We weren't offended until they started talking about a 9-foot statue in addition to a street being renamed for him."
That remains Loria's idea to remember his player. He answered the question of alcohol, cocaine and reckless driving in a recent ESPN interview.
Manager Don Mattingly talks about the team keeping Jose Fernandez's locker intact, says the late pitcher's memory will always remain with his teammates.
"I know Jose to be a different kind of person,'' he said. "I know there were reports. I know a different person. I know a kid who was fun-loving. I didn't know a kid who was involved with anything bad.
"The only thing bad he was involved with was trying to beat your ass right off the plate. That's the only thing I ever saw."
He needs to see more. He needs to see the full truth of Fernandez's death. He also needs to see there are people upset with overdoing Fernandez's memory with a statue and that there are victims whose only voice is a father writing a letter through his pain.
Robert Boos concluded his letter to the Marlins:
"Again, please accept my deepest sympathy to the families and friends of all three men, including all of Jose's teammates an friends in your organization. Above all, my family and friends and I certainly understand this and know EXACTLY how this pain feels. Please do no make this worse by glorifying someone that needs to be left to rest in peace."
