A ski helmet is a helmet specifically designed and constructed for winter sports. Use was rare until about 2000, but by about 2010 the great majority of skiers and snowboarders in the US and Europe wear helmets.[1] Helmets are available in many styles, and typically consist of a hard plastic/resin shell with inner padding. Modern ski helmets may include many additional features such as vents, earmuffs, headphones, goggle mounts, and camera mounts.

1 Risks
3 Standards and testing
RisksEdit
In terms of injuries per 1,000 skier or snowboarder days, Switzerland reports around 3.5, Norway 1.5, Vermont USA 1.9, and Canada 2.5.[1] The death rate in the US is about one per million visits.[2] of which more than half are related to head injuries.[1]
Studies from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Norway and Canada show that the proportion of head injuries is estimated at 15% for ski injuries and 16% for snowboard injuries.[1] 74% of head injuries occur when skiers hit their head on the snow, 10% when they collided with other skiers, and 13% when they collided with fixed objects.[3]
UsageEdit
Germany, Austria, and Switzerland report 40%, 63%, 76% helmet wearing rates respectively. Switzerland reports a 95% helmet wearing rate among children. In France 65% of children wear helmets.[1] In the 2012-2013 ski season, 70 percent of all skiers and snowboarders wore helmets, up 5% from the previous season.[4] Helmets are compulsory for children in Italy and some states of Austria,[5] in the US state of New Jersey and at Vail Ski Resort in the US,[6] and for all in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and some other areas such as terrain parks.[7][8]
Standards and testingEdit
Product certification norms include the European CE standard CEN 1077, issued in 1996, The American Society of Testing and Materials F2040, and the Snell RS-98.[7] CEN 1077 permits an impact speed of about approx 20 km/h, which is far below average skiing speeds.[1] Helmets are tested for effectiveness at about 14 mph (23 km/h), but the typical maximum speed of skiers and snowboarders is approximately twice that speed, with some participants going much faster. At such speeds, impact with a fixed object is likely to be fatal regardless of helmet use.
EffectsEdit
A meta-analysis, mostly of case-control studies, showed that skiers and snowboarders with a helmet were significantly less likely than those without a helmet to have a head injury.[9] However, Swiss statistics on rescue services provided to people injured in snow sports show a fairly constant proportion of head injuries while the observed rate of helmet wearing increased from 16% in 2002-3 to 76% in 2009-10.[1][10]
Helmets have been shown to reduce the incidence of head injuries.[8] Helmets have not been shown to reduce the number of fatalities. According to Dr. Jasper Shealy. "We are up to 40 percent usage but there has been no change in fatalities in a 10-year period."[11][12]
It is not known whether helmet use results in risk compensation,[8] i.e. skiers and snowboarders behaving less cautiously when they feel protected by a helmet, as studies give conflicting results. One study found that helmeted skiers tend to go faster[13] and helmet-wearing has been associated with self-reports of more risky behavior.[14] Other studies find that helmet use is not associated with self-reports of riskier behavior[15][16] and does not increase the risk of other injuries.[15]

Chicago commuters woke up Tuesday morning to a dusting of snow for the drive to work.
A weak system could leave up to an inch of snow in grassy areas, and light snow likely will hang around for much of the day. Blowing snow is expected to reduce visibility at times as strong winds gusting between 40 and 45 mph continue throughout the day.
The snow won't last long. Showers likely will taper to flurries by late morning, and early moring temperatures fall into the teens then hold steady with wind chill readings below zero.
The forecast shows Wednesday wind chills dragging temperatures to below 10 degrees before temps rebound Thursday with highs in the upper 20s and lower 30s.
That's when the snow gets worse. Heavier snow fall is predicted for late Thursday afternoon to remain until Friday. Up to three to five inches of accumulation are possible.
Some models show the system weakening as it hits Chicago later in the week.

Tag: Broadway 1930s
Not Worth a Dime
First performed in Berlin in 1928, The Threepenny Opera was Bertolt Brecht's socialist critique of capitalist society and was a favorite (somewhat ironically) of that city's bourgeois "smart set." However when it landed on the Broadway stage in 1933, it famously flopped, and closed after just twelve performances.
April 22, 1933 cover by Helen Hokinson.
The first American production, adapted by Jerrold Krimsky and Gifford Cochran, opened April 13, 1933, at the Empire Theatre, featuring Robert Chisholm as Macheath ("Mack the Knife") and Steffi Duna as his lover, Polly. Critic Robert Benchley found value in the play's "modernistic" music, but seemed puzzled by its enigmatic production, an opinion shared by other contemporary critics.
HANGING IN THERE…Scenes from the 1928 Berlin premiere of Bertolt Brecht's musical, The Threepenny Opera. At left, Macheath (tenor/baritone Harald Paulsen) is spared the noose during the closing act, much to the relief of his lover, Polly (soprano Roma Bahn); at right, in a deus ex machina moment, a messenger arrives at the hanging and announces that Macheath has been pardoned by the queen. (British Library)
Some critics today defend the 1933 American production, noting that the Krimsky–Cochran adaptation was quite faithful to the Brecht original. Perhaps something was lost in translation, or maybe the world in which the play was conceived no longer held much relevance to Depression-era Americans.
THE FINAL CURTAIN fell after just twelve performances of the first American production of The Threepenny Opera at Broadway's Empire Theatre. The production featured Robert Chisholm as Macheath and Steffi Duna as Polly. (discogs.com/bizzarela.com)
Benchley half-heartedly concluded that the play was probably worth seeing, for no other reason than to experience something different for a change.
By 1933 the world that had conceived The Threepenny Opera was long gone—Brecht fled Nazi Germany two months before his play opened in New York, fearing persecution for his socialist leanings. Things were quickly going "from bad to worse" under Adolf Hitler's new regime, as Howard Brubaker observed in his "Of All Things" column:
Look Ma, No Net!
Karl Wallenda (referred to as "Carl" here) was born to an old circus family in Germany in 1905, and by 1922 he would put together a family-style high-wire act (with brother Herman) that would come to be known as "The Flying Wallendas." They debuted at Madison Square Garden in 1928, notably without their safety net, which had been lost in transit. So they performed without it, much to the acclaim of the adoring crowd. They soon became known for their daring high-wire acts, often performed without safety nets. E.B. White filed this (excerpted) report for "The Talk of the Town."
In the years that followed Karl developed some of troops' most startling acts, including the famed seven-person chair pyramid. They performed this incredibly dangerous stunt until their appearance at the Detroit Shrine Circus in January 1962; the wire's front man, Dieter Schepp, faltered, causing the pyramid to collapse. Schepp, who was Karl's nephew, was killed, as was Richard Faughnan, Karl's son-in-law. Karl injured his pelvis, and his adopted son, Mario, was paralyzed from the waist down.

Karl's own luck finally ran out on March 22, 1978, on a tightrope between the towers of Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. High winds, and an improperly secured wire, caused the 73-year-old Wallenda to wobble, and then fall, one hundred feet to the ground. He was dead on arrival at a local hospital.

Safer Entertainments
Lois Long continued to file nightlife reports in her "Tables for Two" column, reveling in the sights and sounds (and rhythms) of the Cotton Club's orchestra, led by Duke Ellington…but the real attraction was Ellington's unnamed drummer, whom I assume was the great Sonny Greer…

One Perfect Night
Once again The New Yorker marked its anniversary — the eighth — with a repeat of its very first cover, a tradition that would last until 1993. Unlike previous years, E.B. White made no special mention of the occasion in his "Notes and Comment," no doubt feeling confident about the magazine's prospects despite the challenges of the Depression. In 1933 The New Yorker could count on nearly 117,000 readers.
Feb. 18, 1933 cover by Rea Irvin.
And so we look to another of the magazine's star contributors, humorist and stage critic Robert Benchley, who was rarely impressed with Broadway's middlebrow fare. It was in such an environment that Benchley found himself separating the wheat from the chaff, listing a selection of scenes from various plays that together might represent a "perfect night" of entertainment:
A BROADWAY BUFFET…Clockwise, from top left, Robert Benchley recommended Jack Haley's bedroom scene and Ethel Merman's rendition of "Eadie Was a Lady" in Take a Chance as worthy of a look; he also found George M. Cohan's telephone call to police HQ in Pigeons and People memorable, and Beatrice Lillie was apparently a delight in the dressing room scene from Walk a Little Faster. (playbill.com)
TRIPPING THE LIGHT FANTASTIC in Cole Porter's musical Gay Divorce were Claire Luce and Fred Astaire, dancing to the hit song "Night and Day." It was Astaire's last Broadway show before he headed to Hollywood for even greater stardom; Jack Pearl and Barbara Newberry in Pardon My English; Eva Le Gallienne as the White Queen and Josephine Hutchinson as Alice in the 1932-33 production of Alice in Wonderland at Le Gallienne's own Civic Repertory Theatre; Alice (Hutchinson) encounters Tweedledee (Burgess Meredith) and Tweedledum (Landon Herrick) in Alice in Wonderland. (Pinterest/gershwin.com/blog.mcny.org)
While passing by the Vanderbilts' "Triple Palace" on 51st and Fifth Avenue, E.B. White ("Notes and Comment") noted signs of neglect at the famed mansion:
HOME SWEET HOME…At top, Alva Vanderbilt engaged Richard Morris Hunt to build a "Petite Chateau" on the northwest corner of 52nd Street; below, the drawing room. The Triple Palace was demolished in 1947-49. (mcny.org/Wikimedia Commons)

No one was landing quad flips at New York's Ice House in 1933, but for ice skating enthusiasts it was the place to be for both figure skating competitors as well as for those just interested in a leisurely skate to the strains of a live orchestra. "The Talk of the Town" explains in this excerpt:
CHILLING SIGHT…Top and below, the Ice House was located on the top floor of a four-story building attached to Madison Square Garden. (Pinterest)
In both Europe and America ice skating in the 19th and early 20th century was something of an elaborate ritual in urban areas; skating rinks included tea rooms as well as places to dance or ice skate to the gentle rhythms of a live orchestra…
TEA COSY…The Biltmore Hotel Ice Gardens offered guests a warm place to watch the cold weather fun of the hotel's outdoor ice skating rink, circa 1915. (mcny.org)
The Jig Is Up
Jigsaw puzzles have been around since the late 1700s (they were handmade then), but their popularity really took off in the 20th century with advancements in manufacturing and especially during the Depression when folks sought affordable forms of entertainment they could enjoy at home. The 1930s also saw jigsaw puzzles become more complex. "The Talk of the Town" observed:
In 1933 the Long Island City-based puzzle manufacturer Einson-Freeman introduced a line of puzzles that included clues to solving mysteries described in an accompanying novelette…

Small But Deadly
Howard Brubaker's "Of All Things" column, which ran from 1925 to 1951, was a series of brief, satirical comments on the events of the day, including some that to modern eyes point to the catastrophic events that awaited Brubaker's world (reader Frank W. notes that "the 'aged piano-player' was Ignacy Paderewski, who had served as Prime Minister in the immediate aftermath of WWI, and who was the nearest thing the Poles had to a national-unity figure"):
Her Protégé
When Mae West adapted her 1928 Broadway play Diamond Lil into the 1933 film She Done Him Wrong, the puritanical backers of the Hays Code (which would be enforced in 1934) demanded that the film make no reference to the "scandalous" play. But because it was still the pre-Code era, West's film featured many double entendres and her famous (and famously misquoted) quip, "Why don't you come up sometime and see me?" That line was spoken to Cary Grant — whom West would later claim as her discovery even though Grant had drawn considerable attention in the previous year for his work opposite Marlene Dietrich in Blonde Venus. For the record, Grant, who would be paired again with West in 1933's I'm No Angel, would later credit West, and She Done Him Wrong, for giving his career a major boost. New Yorker critic John Mosher lauded the film for the much-needed laughs it provided to Depression-weary audiences.
SHOWING HIM THE ROPES…The nearly forty-year-old Mae West was 11 years older than Hollywood newcomer Cary Grant when they appeared together in 1933's She Done Him Wrong. The film was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Picture), and in 1996 was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. (filmreference.com)

…hopefully the Packard was riding on "Double Eagle" tires by Goodyear…however, this is an odd illustration to emphasize a child's safety, when the kid's posh mum seems more concerned about her appearance than anything else…also, does she plan to drive home with the windshield down?…

A Visit to Minskyville
During the 1930s few people could afford the luxury of a Broadway show, but a trip to "Minskyville" was in reach of nearly anyone looking to escape the gloom of the Depression, at least for a few hours.
May 28, 1930 cover by Constantin Alajalov.
The Minsky family — brothers Billy, Herbert, Morton and Abe — built the beginnings of a New York burlesque empire, writes actress, author and documentarian Leslie Zemeckis: "Abe, the eldest, started showing racy films in a nickelodeon theater on the Lower East Side. His father — believing that if his son was gonna be a perv, he might as well make real money at it — bought the National Winter Garden theater on Houston Street near Second Avenue (where a Whole Foods stands today), and gave Abe the sixth floor to run his burlesque shows." Alva Johnson paid a visit to Houston Street and environs for the "A Reporter at Large" column:
LITTLE EGYPT, aka Farida Mazar Spyropoulos, top left, both titillated and scandalized crowds at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (really?); clockwise, from center top, three of Minsky Brothers – Billy, Morton and Herbert; the Minsky Brothers owned several burlesque theaters in New York, including Minsky's Oriental on 51st Street and Broadway, where 'stripper Julie Bryan was a top draw in 1936; Billy Minsky brought the Minsky brand to Broadway when he leased the Republic Theater on 42nd Street in 1931; the last two images are by Margaret Bourke-White, backstage at the Republic Theater in 1936. (Wikipedia/Daily News/Estate of Margaret Bourke-White)
NEED A CAREER?…Well, in the 1930s an aspiring dancer or comedian could earn some chops on the burlesque stage. Gypsy Rose Lee (aka Rose Louise Hovick), left,who became the world's most famous stripper (as well as an actress, author and playwright), was one of the biggest stars of Minsky's Burlesque; breaks between burlesque performances were commonly filled by comedians, including Abbott and Costello (pictured above in their 1930s burlesque days), who first worked together in 1935 at the Eltinge Burlesque Theater on 42nd Street, at right.
According to Zemeckis, "burlesque caught on among the recent immigrants of the Lower East Side. The shows were cheap, the humor broad, and the allure of beautiful, barely-clothed women transcended language barriers." But if striptease wasn't your thing, Minskyville offered plenty of other diversions:
ONE LUMP OR TWO?…Minskyville's entrepreneurs (top images) added a modern twist to the study of head bumps and cranium size — called Phrenology — with the electronic "Psycograph" (sic); at bottom, Prof. William Heckler's Trained Flea Circus at Hubert's Museum on West 42nd Street attracted some gents itching to see Heckler's fleas in action; according to Alva Johnston, Minskyville's penny arcade peepshows (such as the one at bottom right) would take your penny or nickel in exchange for photos of a woman old enough to give your grandpa the glad eye. (Museum of Questionable Medical Devices/sideshowworld.com)
LET'S SEE THAT AGAIN…Folks who didn't want to look at forty-year-old photos of bathing beauties could check out the most popular attraction at Minskyville's penny arcades — a clip from the famed Long Count Fight, a 1927 rematch between world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney and former champ Jack Dempsey, which Tunney won in a unanimous decision despite being knocked down in the seventh round. It was, and is, the subject of endless debate. (www.wbaboxing.com )
Not a Gearhead
"The Talk of the Town" noted that young Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. preferred arts and literature over things that went zoom:
SOMEDAY THIS WILL ALL BE YOURS, RIGHT?…Walter P. Chrysler Sr. and Walter P. Chrysler Jr. share a father-son moment in 1930. Junior Chrysler devoted much of his life to building a multimillion-dollar collection of paintings (some of which were later found to be forgeries) and made substantial forays into collecting stamps, rare books and glassworks. He also produced a movie, The Joe Louis Story, released in 1953. (chrysler.org)
Rat-a-tat
Today most movie lovers associate Scarface with the 1983 Brian DePalma film (starring Al Pacino), but the original Scarface in 1932 was far more influential in that it helped define the American gangster film genre. Directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Hawks and Howard Hughes, the screenplay was penned by early New Yorker contributor Ben Hecht. Mild by today's standards, the film's violent scenes caused it to be banned by many theaters around the country. Along with 1931's Little Caesar and The Public Enemy, Scarface is regarded as among the most significant gangster films. Here is what critic John Mosher thought of it:
JUST IN CASE YOU GET THE WRONG IDEA…Also known as Scarface: The Shame of the Nation, this 1932 gangster film opened with some cautionary words (top left). Clockwise, from top right, gangster "Tony" Camonte (Paul Muni) is flanked by his cronies during a hit on a rival; Tony (Muni) shows his softer side with his dear sister Francesca (Ann Dvorak).

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water, out comes another line of wool swimsuits. I honestly can't imagine how they must have felt, especially when wet and clinging to your skin after you left the water…
…the ad below from DuPont was just the sort of thing that drove New Yorker fashion critic Lois Long nuts…a couple of downscale royals shilling their fashion lines to an unsuspecting public…the paychecks from DuPont must have been substantial enough for these bluebloods to publicly embrace synthetics…
TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE…Here is the real Countess Borea de Buzzaccarini Regoli, left, and the Princess de Rohan, who played to America's insatiable thirst for nobility while shilling for a chemical company. (Wikimedia)
…if you had the money and the steady nerves, you could have hopped aboard an almost 32-hour flight to the West Coast assured that a "coordinated mechanism" of men and machine would get you there in one piece…
…perhaps you could have steadied your nerves by dragging on a Tally-Ho — for some weird reason the Lorillard Tobacco Company (who also made Old Gold) thought some folks might prefer an oval-shaped cigarette (I include the remainder of the back-page ads for context)…
…despite the Depression, the New Yorker was holding its own in sales and subscriptions, but it never hurt to place a house ad every now and then to convince a few who might be holding out…
…on to our cartoons, Garrett Price showed us the result of a bad hand…
…James Thurber offered up this spot illustration in the opening pages…
…and this terrific cartoon…
…Gardner Rea demonstrated the perils of summoning the dead…
…the departed soul mentioned in Rea's cartoon was prolific British crime writer, journalist and playwright Edgar Wallace (1875-1932), who wrote 175 novels, 24 plays, and countless articles in newspapers and journals in his relatively short life. He is most famous today as the co-creator of the film King Kong…
…and we end with this gem from Kemp Starrett, and some high-jinks…

From Stage to Screen
There's good reason why one of Broadway's finest theatres is named after Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne; no couple has lit up the stage quite like this husband-wife team.
Sept. 19, 1931 cover by Adolph K. Kronengold.
Some say Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were modern successors, but they only appeared together on Broadway once (a 1983 revival of Noël Coward's Private Lives, at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre of all places), and they shared a tempestuous, on-and-off relationship that sharply contrasted with Lunt and Fontanne, who were inseparable both on and off the stage during their 55-year marriage. And unlike Burton and Taylor, Lunt and Fontanne appeared in just a handful of films, including a 1931 adaptation of their 1924 Broadway play, The Guardsman. John Mosher filed this review:
INSEPARABLE…Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne pose for photographer Nickolas Muray in this 1924 portrait for Vanity Fair magazine. They married in 1922, and were inseparable until Lunt's passing in 1977. (Conde Nast)
NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY!…These were Pre-Code times, so MGM played up the film's "saucy" and "unconventional" themes. (IMDB)
I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR FACE…Although Lunt and Fontanne appeared together numerous times on Broadway, the 1931 film adaptation of their 1924 stage play, The Guardsman, would be their only film appearance together. (Museum of the City of New York/IMDB)
STAGE TO SCREEN…at top, Lunt and Fontanne in 1924's The Guardsman on Broadway; below, a scene from the 1931 film adaptation featuring, from left, Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, Maude Eburne and Zasu Pitts; at right, Fontanne reviews fashions for the film designed by Adrian Adolph Greenburg. Lunt and Fontanne would be nominated for Academy Awards as Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Leading Role, respectively. (Museum of the City of New York/IMDB)
Charles Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic without stopping in 1927, but it would take four more years before anyone could accomplish the same feat across the Pacific. Don Moyle and Cecil Allen took up the challenge, hoping to fly their plane, Clasina Madge, 4,400 miles from Japan to Seattle to win a $25,000 prize from a Japanese newspaper. The lads took off from Tokyo in early September, but then went missing. E.B. White wrote:
As it turned out, Moyle and Allen were caught in a storm between Japan and Alaska that forced them to land on a small, uninhabited island in the Aleutian chain. Stranded for more than a week, the flyboys were finally able to make contact through a U.S. Coast Guard patrol and report they were safe.
THESE ARE MY BOYS…at left, Cecil Allen and Don Moyle standing with financial backer John Buffelin and Buffelin's daughter, Clasina Madge, the namesake for their hopefully record-setting airplane; At right, Moyle and Allen with a Japanese official, possibly before one of their attempts, or perhaps they are looking at their consolation prize (see below). (University of Washington)
Moyle and Allen sent word that they would return to Washington and prepare for another attempt. They flew back home by way of Nome, Alaska, where they landed on Sept. 21, 1931. Five days later they reached Fairbanks, and after weather delays finally made it to Tacoma, Washington, on Oct. 6. There they learned that Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon Jr. had already won the $25,000 prize, having arrived from Japan the day before. The Tokyo newspaper did, however, give Moyle and Allen $2,500 for their efforts.
SPOILERS…at left, Hugh Herndon, Jr. and Clyde Pangborn pose next to their crash-landed plane in the hills of East Wenatchee, Washington, after becoming the first to fly non-stop across the northern Pacific Ocean. The 41-hour flight from Japan won them the 1931 Harmon Trophy and $25,000 from a Japanese newspaper. The crash-landing of their plane was deliberate — before the flight it was modified to carry 930 gallons of fuel. They had jettisoned the landing gear after takeoff to save fuel.

Thurber Gets Serious
We know James Thurber as a humorist, both for his writings and his cartoons. In the Sept. 19 issue, however, Thurber offered this touching remembrance of a subway newsstand proprietor, who he later learns is killed in the crossfire of a robbery. Here are the opening passages:
Did You Miss Me?
After a long absence (in Europe, presumably), Alexander Woollcott returned to his "Shouts and Murmurs," column, offering this "Triple Warning" that included his observations of H.G. Wells, who wondered if all his musings for the future would fall to swarms of lowly insects…
WORK CAN WAIT…Alexander Woollcott relaxes in front of a Paris bar, late 1920s. Photo by James Abbe. (artsy.net)
With the arrival of fall come new fashions…these "wearables" below are suggested by B. Altman as suitable attire for attending a football game…
…smart fashions for young people weren't confined to New York…this is how students at the University of Michigan dressed for a 1930 homecoming game against Illinois…
…well, times have changed, but folks still wear fur of a sort…
Jan 1, 201USA TODAY Sports
…wearing a real fur these days will draw the ire of animal rights advocates almost everywhere, but in 1931 few had problems with turning leopards and seals into coats for fashionable young women…
…then as now, folks enjoyed their pork sausage…the Jones Family of Wisconsin apparently saw a market for their products among New Yorker readers…
…after 131 years in business, the Jones Family and their sausages are still going strong…as is their farmhouse logo (the old farmhouse is real and still stands)…
…another back pages ad promoted Helen Hokinson's first cartoon collection, So You're Going to Buy a Book!…
…the collection including Hokinson's beloved dowagers, but it also featured this gem…
(attemptedbloggery.blogspot.com)
…on to our cartoons from the Sept. 19 issue, we begin with William Steig and a couple of would-be renters…
…E. McNerney explored the trials of teenage life…
…Leonard Dove drew a crowd in a packed subway car…
…Otto Soglow displayed the playful side of his Little King…
…and Rea Irvin found an actor upstaged by an unlikely rival…

Q: how to read and write the answer in file i/o i have this code i am working on i can read from file ,but i cant save the answer to my txt file .also how do i recall to do other operation on same number .i need a tips on how to do that.
 package x;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class x {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws FileNotFoundException {

        //creating File instance to reference text file in Java
        File text = new File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\testScanner.txt");

        //Creating Scanner instnace to read File in Java
        Scanner scnr = new Scanner(text);

        //Reading each line of file using Scanner class
        int lineNumber = 1;
        while(scnr.hasNextLine()){
             String line = scnr.nextLine();
            int foo = Integer.parseInt(line);

            System.out.println("===================================");
            System.out.println("line " + lineNumber + " :" + line);
            foo=100*foo;
            lineNumber++;
            System.out.println(" foo=100*foo " + lineNumber + " :" + foo);
        }

    }

}

A: you need to use a filewriter to write a file and filereader to write a file. you also need to import java.io. here is an example code:
import java.io.*;

public class FileRead{

   public static void main(String args[])throws IOException{

      File file = new File("Hello1.txt");
      // creates the file
      file.createNewFile();
      // creates a FileWriter Object
      FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file);
      // Writes the content to the file
      writer.write("This\n is\n an\n example\n");
      writer.flush();
      writer.close();

      //Creates a FileReader Object
      FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);
      char [] a = new char[50];
      fr.read(a); // reads the content to the array
      for(char c : a)
          System.out.print(c); //prints the characters one by one
      fr.close();
   }
}

Chris described Sunderland College as exciting, refreshing and informative. As part of his music course he was given the opportunity to perform at the Sage in Gateshead, an achievement of which he remains very proud. Following the completion of his BTEC, Chris stayed at Sunderland College to complete a foundation degree, before moving on to Sunderland University to achieve an HND in Music Performance. He now teaches Music Performance and Technology in Hampshire.
"I decided to study at Sunderland College due to the positive reputation of the music department. I was also impressed upon meeting the tutors at the College open day.
What I liked best about Sunderland College was the wealth of opportunities provided by the music department. I am also grateful for the friends I met, as well as the all-round positive atmosphere on campus.
Chris is now working as a teacher in Music Performance & Technology at St Vincent College Sixth Form in Hampshire.

Yesterday, a mind-blowing discovery was made about the existence of liquid water on Mars. This means that not only is there strong evidence that life existed on Mars in the past, but in the present day as well. There could be alien life within our own solar system, just one door over, and we are going to get to see humans check it out for ourselves within 20 years (early 2030's)! But yet, as huge of a discovery as it was, most of us just discussed it with out coworkers for a few minutes, retweeted an article about it, and then went on with our day. Why? Because as much as we like to claim "the world is working against us," life is always giving us plenty of amazing findings everyday, whether as small as discovering that you now like the taste of coffee, or as big as finding out there is water on Mars.
Today's props go out to remarkable discoveries.
I am going to tell you about an extremely happy accidental discovery, a discovery that spanned across all of human existence, and one that helped me cope with the meaning of life.

Q: getElementsByClassName and IE9 I'm trying to use getElementsByClassName to hide some elements on my page. I used the 1st answer here:
What is an alternative to using getElementByClass for hiding multiple elements?
to write my own code and it works in Chrome and FF but not in IE9. Everything I've read says getElementsByClassName should work in IE9. Rather than put my own code, the code below is the answer from the link above since it's similar to my own and already compact. When I load this into IE9, the buttons do nothing (fine in Chrome and FF). If I put try and catch around the code in the functions, it says object error.  Is it supposed to work?

Shipping: $4 for one or all in the US. I'm happy to ship international as well. Anticipate minor imperfections that a layer of paint will hide, including those casts with skin-tone dye.

BB Cool Breeze head is a little large, but looks OK on bulkier swivel head torsos. It would probably work well on most ball-joint torsos if you want to modify it. I haven't tried yet. The neck looks a bit thin and may need some work to thicken it to match ball-joint Joe thickness.
I did a Salvo mold for Rambo by request. Special price: $3 each for Salvo.

Thank you again Forcefull. THose heads look awesome.

Q: Create a web server using gsm module I am using raspberry pi
I am using signalR to send data to my client browser.
If my raspberry  is on the same network via Ethernet or WiFi then I can get it to work.
If I now disconnect Ethernet and WiFi and switch on my gsm module I get assigned a dhcp address like 10.126.88.4 etc
If I now go to a client browser and type that ip address in the browser it will eventually time-out and upon investigation I find the raspberry pi has been assigned a different IP address.
This happens every time I refresh the browser.
After googling I find that it is the network providers doing this to stop the gsm being used as a server gateway.
One of the solutions is to use a proxy server but I could potentially have a lot of data passing through and
my initial idea was to have client browser talking directly to the raspberry pi device using gsm and thus not going through my own server.
Is there a solution to my predicament?


Would/Could you do me a favor?
Can you make dinner tonight?
Would you be able to make dinner tonight?

OK. I will go out tonight.
Would you bring home some bread?
Sure. I'll be home around six.

Golden Bough is a Celtic-music band formed in 1980 and based in California. The band performs at music festivals and has toured Europe several times. They are known for their acoustic musical performances of folk music and Celtic music and for their 22 albums. They are also known for their association with Lief Sørbye (a founding member) and with the band Tempest.

Current members of the band include Margie Butler (lyric soprano) on vocals, Celtic harp, penny whistle, recorder, bodhran and guitar; Paul Espinoza (folk tenor) on vocals, guitar, accordion and octave-mandolin; Kathy Sierra (folk soprano) on vocals, violin and viola.

Band origins
The band came about after some friends attended a series of concerts at the Cannery at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. The founders were Margie Butler, Margot Duxler, Lief Sørbye, and Paul Espinoza. Simon Spaulding also performed with them in the first lineup. Other artists who have been members include Florie Brown (violinist), Richard Ferry (flutist), Alison Bailey (fiddler), and Sue Draheim (violinist).

Music
The band describes their music as "rooted in" the traditional music of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, French Brittany and Spanish Galicia. The group creates its own arrangements of the songs, giving them "a sound unique unto themselves." Along with traditional works they have mined such singers as Eric Bogle (Green Fields of France), Archie Fisher (Witch of the Westmorelands) and Jamie McMenemy's setting of The Blind Harper of Lochmaben. They also perform their own original compositions.

Some examples of songs they sing include: Red is the Rose, The Sea Queen of Connemara, The Wizard, Shifty Morgan, The Tailor and the Mouse, Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair, The Rattlin' Bog, Green Grow the Rashes-O, Charlie is my Darling, My Little Boat, Black Jack Davy, The Song of the Swan Maiden, Muirsheen Durkin, Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears by Brendan Graham, and perhaps even the Turlough O'Carolan tune, Carolan's Draught.

Song details
 Black Jack Davy is a takeoff of the traditional song Black Jack Davy. It was written by Paul Espinoza and released on the Golden Bough album, The Boatman's Daughter in 1983. In the traditional song, a man pursues his wife or lover, who has run off with the Gypsy man, Black Jack Davy. In Espinoza's version, Black Jack Davy is the pursuing lover, still looking for his lady after three years. He is presented as a ghost who cannot give up his search.

China's Evergrande Creates Market Anxiety
Evergrande started in 1996 in Guangzhou, southern China, as the Hengda Group before a name change. Founded by businessman Hui Ka Yan, it owns over 1,300 projects in more than 280 Chinese cities and is China's second-largest property developer. The company has expanded its portfolio to operate more than real estate development, with a wealth management firm, electric car manufacturer, healthcare services firm, video, and television production, theme park, a football team (Guangzhou FC), and food and drink manufacturer.
Evergrande used debt to rapidly grow its portfolio, resulting in a more than $300 billion deficit. Even more concerning is that the company became the world's most indebted property developer, and the situation started to get worse in 2020 with two significant events. The first was the global pandemic which forced countries to shut down their economies, which led to delays in construction and lower consumer demand for high-value expenses like property. Another turning point was new rules from Beijing that sought to reign in debt by prominent real estate developers. According to firms' cash flows, assets, and capital levels, this regulation limits money they can owe.
Will It Be a Domino Effect?
Evergrande's customers are worried. Many of them bought property before construction began, so if China Evergrande falls, they may never get their money back. It is also one of China's largest companies, so many construction companies, design firms, and material suppliers could make significant losses.
Moreover, this downward inclination could spread from the financial sector to others in the company, if not the whole industry. Evergrande has loans with around 171 domestic banks and 121 other financial firms. If Evergrande becomes fragile, these firms will lend less to other economic sectors, creating a credit crunch that can down the entire economy.
Evergrande had to discount its properties to stay afloat, but its prospect didn't improve. It has also been struggling to meet its debt obligations. Its share price has fallen 80% this year, and its bonds have been downgraded by global credit rating agencies citing its liquidity problems. In September, the company issued warnings that it may default on its debts and missed the payment deadline in the same month. The company can pay off within the 30 day grace period, narrowly avoiding a default.

Even when our personal lives are satisfactory, many of us are deeply stressed by the current state of the world. If this is your experience, you may find it challenging to be tranquil in the midst of it all. And perhaps you don't feel it's right to cultivate tranquility when so much in the world is so wrong. You believe times like these call for action, not 'navel gazing'.
But where does wise action come from? If things are falling apart and the center cannot hold, doesn't it make sense to center ourselves? Cultivating tranquility assures a better chance to be wiser and kinder in our choices, actions and words.
From that tranquil center arises gratitude for being alive to do even the hardest work. It provides clarity to see our purpose, where we can help and where we can remember that 'it's not all up to me.' We can find true forgiveness for our own failings as well as for the misguided words and behaviors of others. We may discover a sense of deep connection to all beings of all species of all eras. That connection can provide additional support and meaning to our efforts. When tranquility is discovered and nourished through sitting in silence, then loving-kindness for ourselves and all beings blossoms forth into wise and skillful interaction.
And we are much less likely to succumb to despair.
My mother was a lifelong peace-worker, and on occasion she would fall into despair, especially in her later years when she could look back on all her efforts and judge them a failure, as it seemed the world was no closer to peace than it had ever been. It was hard to scrape herself off the floor and begin again. She had great strength but it was borne of pure will. She would give herself a good talking to and began again. She had the grit we Americans admire, but grit can only take us so far, and it rubs us raw in the process. Knowing how things 'should' be, and feeling we 'should' be able to solve every problem, entangles us in a deepening misery of fault-finding. This wasn't commonly understood when she was alive. Meditation wasn't a common practice and the phrase 'emotional intelligence' had not come into common parlance.
I believe if she had lived long enough to learn about and try the skillful techniques to cultivate an inner strength that doesn't rely on teeth-clenching determination to sustain her noble commitment, she would have been less likely to fall into despair.
When she died on 'March Forth' 1989, I had a year of magical thinking, a gift of the unbearable grief I experienced. In my mind, my mother, once freed from the limits of embodiment – get this! – single-handedly tore down the Berlin Wall, ended apartheid in South Africa, inspired over a million Chinese to demonstrate for democracy in Tienanmen Square, ended heavy-handed communist rule in various eastern European countries, etc. etc.
This is such an important thing to remember. We don't know! Tranquility is possible if we can acknowledge that simple fact. Our inherent negativity bias makes us more inclined to think the worst is coming, and it's enforced by the 'if it bleeds it leads' mentality of the news. But the news only shares the events that stand out because they are unusual. That means that most of everything that is going on in the daily life of most people is at least tolerable, and likely to contain moments of laughter and contentment.
Even when it seems that politicians are up to their gills in debt to interests not aligned with the public good and are only skilled at lying, we discover newer faces on the scene, with clearer kinder vision and a way of bridging the great divides between us.
There's a Buddhist expression 'No mud, no lotus.' In the context of the current political shenanigans, we might open to the possibility that out of this period of mud-slinging, goodness is also arising. These newcomer candidates would likely not have been inspired to run if they thought everything was going along just fine without them. And if we were satisfied with the status quo, would we be so inspired to support them, to volunteer to get out the vote and spread the word? Probably not.
With so much we don't know, one thing we can be sure of is that change is the only constant. Can we center ourselves and open our arms to embrace the ever-changing nature of life? It is possible to experience tranquility even in the midst of tumultuous events, seasons, power, politics, cultural favor, etc. The Eight Worldly Winds are always blowing: Gain and Loss, Pleasure and Pain, Praise and Blame, Fame and Censure. As long as we are alive, the 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows are the gift and the challenge of earthly life. Why rail against it? Why make an enemy of it? Why add to the suffering? If we cultivate tranquility at the center of our being and operate from that place of calm inner strength, we can not only nourish ourselves but all life. We can be a light in the darkness, joining together with a whole world of others who are centered in tranquility and cultivating wisdom.
Tranquility is one of the Seven Factors of Awakening, and spending time with it has been a very rich experience for me. A few posts back we looked at 'grudges, pet peeves and other mental knots'. Since then I have continued to notice my grudges when they come up, and I'm finding an unexpected increase in my capacity for compassion, forgiveness and letting go. It's as if I'm a snake in molting season. Letting go, letting go, letting go. What a great unburdening!
Yesterday I was in the grocery store parking lot and saw the car of the tech who many many years ago 'fixed' my computer, and in the process made it unusable, leading to a whole slew of painfully expensive solutions. For the past twenty years whenever I saw that car, my mind would get caught up in that tangled knot of blame. Grrrr. This time I felt the rise of that knot again, so I paused and sat with the grudge for a moment. Just then the 'fixer' came out of the grocery store and got in the car. Oh my, how that person had aged. I felt compassion. And in that feeling compassion, the knot untangled more and dissolved. How could I hold a grudge against someone for so long? Someone who was, after all, just trying to help, even if it turned out not to be very helpful? Have I never made mistakes? Ha! Of course I have. Plenty of them! As have we all, even though we do our best not to. What a lovely release I experienced. And I expect there will be many more.
Who in your life entangles you in knots? Is there room for forgiveness? Not forcing anything, but just making room for the possibility? Are there some assumptions you've been clinging to that are in need of questioning – Is this true? How do I know this is true?
Tranquility arises from compassion, forgiveness and letting go. The tranquility, in turn, births skillful words and actions. Even, or perhaps especially, when it seems things are falling apart.

I loved the image of untying knots. Very helpful! Thank you.
