Q: Creating an organization in Bluemix I am currently part of several organizations, which I have been previously invited to. I would like to create a new organization solely for myself. According to the documentation (https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/admin/index.html#orgmng) I should be able to go to 'Manage Organizations' and click 'Create an organization', but I do not have this option. How should I go about creating an organization?

A: For the public version of Bluemix Trial accounts can only create one organisation (which is created the first time you log in). If you add credit card details and move to a "PayGo" account then you are able to create multiple organisations.
On the dedicated or local deployments of Bluemix all admins are given the permissions to create their own organisations.

A: Only account owners with Pay-As-You-Go accounts can create an organization. You can create an organization by completing the following steps:

*

*Using Bluemix Web GUI:

*Click Account > Manage Organizations page.

*Click Add a New Org.

*Enter the org name.

*Click Add.

Using Bluemix admin CLI
- cf ba create-organization <organization> <manager>

Where

Fall has officially begun! Perhaps you can feel it in the weather or see it as the foliage begins to show its beautiful, bright colors. For the NAIC, it begins a season of preparation for the final national meeting of the year.
The Regulators Podcast
In our third episode of The Regulators, NAIC CEO and host, Mike Consedine sits down with California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara to talk climate risk and resiliency. Lara also talks about the challenges some Californians are facing after the devastating Paradise wildfire.
We've had some good feedback about the podcast so far and would appreciate if you help us spread the word about it by resharing it on your social media channels. We'd also like you to subscribe to The Regulators podcast on Spreaker or Spotify, if you haven't done so already.
Below is a link to listen to this month's podcast along with a suggested tweet to use on Twitter using the hashtag #TheRegulators.
@NAIC CEO @mikeconsedine sits down with .@ICRicardoLara to talk climate risk and resiliency and the @CDInews partnership with the UN to address sustainability. Hear more about it in this month's #TheRegulators episode. ow.ly/MeNR50wxe4i
Toolkit Reminders
Over the past couple of months, many of you have seen the news releases, consumer alerts and insights we've put out about the importance of having flood insurance and wildfire insurance. Both campaigns are a part of the #YourRiskIsReal campaign. We've written the news releases, consumer alerts and insights so that you can edit and insert your state insurance department commissioner's information if you choose to do so. All the press releases and consumer alerts and insights can be found in the Flood and Wildfire Insurance Media Toolkits. We encourage you to download them and use them.
Here's a link to the tool kits; just download the file: https://we.tl/t-hKhLD6pc5o
Caveat: The link expires in 7 days.
While Life Insurance Awareness Month is over, the contents in the toolkit can be used on a day-to-day basis to educate consumers on the need and benefits of life insurance.
Health Insurance and Open Enrollment
Open enrollment for 2020 health insurance coverage through Marketplaces and individual plans is right around the corner. Open enrollment for federal exchanges runs from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15. Some states start earlier or end later.
Later this month, we'll release a consumer alert on 2020 open enrollment, along with other helpful tools you will be able to access and share with your consumers.
Information to Share
The NAIC recently conducted a survey on consumers knowledge about flood insurance and preparation if a disaster were to occur. Here's a link to the survey results; it will be part of a news release to be distributed, Oct. 7.
Roughly half of Americans (51%) don't know that homeowners insurance doesn't cover damage/loss caused by a flood event – about a third (31%) incorrectly think it's covered and about 1 in 5 (21%) are not all sure.
Nearly 4 in 5 Americans (79%) don't know that FEMA grant amounts are not based on the value of the recipient's home.
Over half of Americans (53%) say they or someone they know have been a victim of a flood event.
Less than a quarter of Americans overall (23%) and just 29% of those residing in the South, think it is likely that their current home will be impacted by a flood event.
And a reminder that you have access to the NAIC Flickr account; you'll find images of our National Meeting and the Commissioner Head shot photos along with the monthly Words of the Week.
Listed below are the words for the month. Please feel free to use and distribute these on your social media channels using the hashtag #WotW.

It's April. Where Are DOT's 2015 Bike Numbers?
By David Meyer
DOT released its 2014 screenline bike count exactly a year ago. The 2015 count has yet to be posted.
More than three months into 2016, DOT has yet to release last year's screenline bike count, which shows how cycling in the city center has changed over time.
It's called the screenline count because it measures the number of cyclists who cross key points around the central business district: the East River bridges, on the Hudson River Greenway at 50th Street, and the Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal.
Up until a few years ago, DOT released the bike count in the same year the data was collected, sometimes as early as October. The 2012 count was the first to include winter cycling numbers, and was not released until the following March. Then the 2013 numbers weren't released until Streetsblog posted an unauthorized copy in July 2014. Last year, DOT released the 2014 count around exactly this time (after a nudge from Streetsblog).
We asked DOT for the 2015 count in January, and the agency said it expected to post the numbers "before Spring 2016." In response to a follow-up query earlier this month, DOT said the numbers would be released "later this spring."
With stats going back a few decades, the screenline count provides an excellent trendline of bicycling in the city center. It would be great to see DOT add more metrics to track changes in cycling farther from the Manhattan core. But failing that, just releasing this key indicator on a timely schedule again would be a welcome change.

It's April. Where's the NYC DOT Bike Count From Last Year?
By Ben Fried	| Apr 9, 2015
Did cycling in New York City continue to rise in 2014? We still don't know, because NYC DOT has yet to release its annual count. Usually, by this time of year, NYC DOT has released its screenline bike count showing the year-over-year trend in cycling in the city core (specifically, the screenline count measures cyclists on the East […]
3 Big Takeaways From NYC DOT's 2014 Bike Count [Updated]
By Ben Fried	| Apr 15, 2015
NYC DOT has posted the 2014 screenline bike count [PDF] (after some prodding from us last week), showing a 4 percent increase over the previous year. Following double-digit percentage growth every year from 2006 to 2010, this marks the fourth consecutive year without an increase of 10 percent or more. The screenline captures bike trips across […]
DOT Posts East River Bridge Bike Counts, But Not as Open Data
By David Meyer	| Aug 26, 2016
DOT has posted detailed bike counts from the four East River bridges from April through July of this year, a promising new step in making its data on bicycling publicly available. The data was released as monthly PDFs that include bike counts on each bridge, cumulative precipitation, and temperature ranges for each day. It's the first time DOT has published such granular information. But the […]
Spring Bike Counts Show Steady Growth of 14 Percent
By Noah Kazis	| Jul 28, 2011
The growth of cycling in New York City shows no signs of letting up. The Department of Transportation's latest count of cyclists entering the center of the city posted a 14 percent increase this spring compared to last spring. If the trend holds up for the rest of 2011, it will mark the fifth consecutive year […]

More than 36,000 city residents regularly commute by bike, up significantly over just a […]

The data show that warm […]

Online: On-Demand
Novel in Progress
10 weeks online; No live meetings. Class opens February 1st.
Online: On Demand
First drafts of novels can be messy, amorphous, and daunting. Extensive critical feedback can be counterproductive before the first draft is finished, yet writers often find themselves losing focus without support and guidance. This intermediate to advanced course is for writers who have made significant progress on their novel or are close to completing a full draft, and are looking for accountability, community, and motivation.
This is a generative course rather than a formal workshop. The focus isn't necessarily on learning new aspects of craft--though that learning will happen–but on the process of completing and beginning to revise a draft. Each week's lesson will include writing prompts that can be applied to a work in progress, short podcasts, and craft and revision technique discussions in the context of the novel. At least three times during the course, writers will have the opportunity to post up to five pages of their work for impressions from their fellow students, and in the last week, all writers will be invited to submit twenty pages of their manuscript to the instructor for a written critique. Novels of all genres are welcome.
This is an Online: On-Demand class that will take place on our asynchronous online learning platform, Wet.Ink. Weekly lessons and assignments open each Wednesday. Students will receive an invitation to Wet Ink before 5pm on the first day of class! All video lectures for Online: On-Demand courses have closed captioning available. To enable, click "cc" on the toolbar of each video lecture.
*NOTE that while our handy dandy "Schedule" tab states a 6-7pm class time, there are actually no live meetings for this class! Weekly lessons and assignments open each Wednesday. Students will receive an invitation to Wet Ink, our online class platform, before 5pm on the first day of class.

Platinum Weddings Season 5 Episode 18
Charlotte & Darin
Aired Sunday 10:00 PM Unknown on WE - Women's Entertainment
Charlotte and Darin hit it off at a friend's wedding reception and now they're having a platinum bash of their own. For Charlotte, it is love right from the start. The two dated for three years, and she stands by her man in good times and bad. That's when he knew she was the one. Because the bride and groom will be honeymooning in the City of Light, their Christmas Day wedding will have a "Winter in Paris" theme and a price tag of $800,000. They hired one of the biggest party planners in Los Angeles to make sure this platinum event goes off without a hitch. Blue, silver and winter white are the key colors for the reception with snowflakes, crystals and candlelight all around. Illuminated tables and striking centerpieces complete the look with $100,000 spent on flowers alone. The bride's gown is full of shimmer and sparkle. It's made from the finest silk and is completely hand-beaded. A stunning veil and glittering tiara complete the look. The couple's custom made cake will be surrounded by smaller cakes and covered in sugar snowflakes and flowers. An enormous, edible Eiffel tower will top it all off and ties in beautifully with their romantic Parisian theme. Darin has more than just a grand wedding planned for his beloved. Before they say, "I do," he blows her away with two special gifts. Wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf as a blindfold, she is led into an exclusive auto dealership where she is surprised with a luxury car and a white fur coat to keep her warm on those chilly Parisian nights. On wedding day, the bride and groom arrive in style in a classic 1927 Packard. The Christmas day ceremony is especially touching. After the emotional vows, guests file into the ballroom where they are transported to a winter wonderland. French champagne flows as they all dance the night away. It is the perfect start to a Parisian holiday and a lifetime of happily ever after.moreless

Oscar Nomination Q & A
Now that the nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards have been unveiled the time has arrived for Cinema Romantico to answer the most pertinent questions. Let's get to it. (A full list of the nominees can be found here.)
Q: What are your thoughts on Tom Cruise's announcement that he and Katie would not be attending this year's ceremony? ......... Wait, why are you gathering batteries, canned food and bottled water?
A: I just assumed the world was ending.
Q: Is Christian Bale ("The Fighter") a lock for Best Supporting Actor?
A: He is, unless a Youtube video surfaces in the next 6 weeks of him on his latest film setting the craft services table on fire while berating interns. Which is 72% possible.
Q: During his Golden Globe acceptance speech did Bale really say of Mark Wahlberg (lead actor in "The Fighter") that "You can only give a loud performance like I gave when you have a quiet anchor. I've played that character many times and it never gets any notice."
A: He did.
Q: So did Mark Wahlberg's performance get nominated for Best Actor?
Q: So we're assuming Colin Firth's got the Best Actor for "The King's Speech" all sewn up?
A: Oh, absolutely, and he's entirely worthy of it. Although I'm still sad Edward Norton got absolutely no play whatsoever for his work in "Stone."
Q: "Stone?" I haven't heard about that one. Is that a biopic about Oliver Stone?
A: (Head in hands.)
Edward Norton & Milla Jovovich will tragically, but predictably, each only be attending the Oscars as someone's date.
Q: Do you like Annette Bening's ("The Kids Are All Right") chances to beat out Natalie Portman ("Black Swan") for Best Actress?
A: As a totally non-partial, unbiased observer I can say that I toasted champagne when Hilary beat you in 2005, Bening, and I'm gonna toast champagne in 2011 when Natalie beats you into oblivion again.
Q: Damn, man, have you got a personal grudge against Annette Bening?
A: No! Honest, I don't! She just keeps getting nominated opposite these performances that mean a great deal to me. I was rooting against Kate Winslet in 2005, for God's sake, I wanted Hilary Swank to win so much!
Q: Really? Does Kate Winslet know about this?
A: Just forget it. It never happened. Next question.
Q: Melissa Leo ("The Fighter") earned Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes? Does this put her in the driver's seat for the Oscar?
A: Finally! A category with some juice! Leo squaring off her with own film's co-star Amy Adams and with Helena Bonham Carter for "The King's Speech" and Jacki Weaver for "Animal Kingdom" (who's totally awesome, by the way) and Hallee Steinfeld for "True Grit".
Q: Hold it. Wasn't Hallee Steinfeld in essentially every scene in that movie?
A: Hey, she has a better chance winning in this category than she does for Best Actress.
Q: So you think Steinfeld will win?
A: Nope. I'm predicting......wait for it......Amy Adams! That's right, loyal readers! Mark it down! You read it here first! Amy Adams overcomes the Cancel-Each-Other-Out Factor with Leo to win and thereby give the most "painfully earnest" acceptance speech in Oscar history!

Your next winner for Best Picture?
Q: So is "The Social Network", winner of the top prize at The Golden Globes, a shoe-in for Best Picture? Or will "The King's Speech", recent winner of Best Picture at the Producer's Guild Awards, steal its facebooking thunder?
A: Myron Plotz, associate director at the National Backlash Center in Burbank, CA, predicts a significant wave of backlash post-nominations against "The Social Network" for "misreading new media" will propel "The King's Speech" to front-runner status before a wave of backlash against "The King's Speech" for choosing to portray Colin Firth's cinematic stutter solely as "a by-product of emotional abuse" allows "The Social Network" to surge back to the lead and hold off "The King's Speech" by a nose at the wire.
Q: But what about the fact that in real life Mark Zuckerberg did not create Facebook simply as a means to get girls? That he actually already had and continues to have the same girlfriend?
A: Did you know that the real life Karen Hill of "Goodfellas" had an affair with the Paul Sorvino character and that the Joe Pesci character tried to rape her?
Q: Well-
A: Did you know the real life Robert Gould Shaw of "Glory" at first declined the offer to command the 54th Massachusetts Infantry and that there wasn't actually a runaway slave named Trip in the outfit?
Q: Yeah, but-
A: Did you know that the Max Schreck of "Shadow Of The Vampire" who filmed "Nosferatu" in 1921 wasn't really a vampire? ......... Wait, why are you trying to unplug my keybo-

As is typical on Oscar nomination announcement day, I can't wait for today to be over. Having said that, this is the best thing I've read today. Heartily enjoyed it. Shall drop you a link on twitter.
Why, thank you. I like to try to do something different on Oscar Nom Day. Have a little fun with the insane hype of the whole thing.
Wretched Genius said...
1. You have no definitive proof that Schreck was not, in fact, a vampire. No one does.
2. It won't happen, but I hope John Hawkes pulls an upset in the Supporting category.
3. Ditto with Jennifer Lawrence.
4. In fact, Winter's Bone sweeping the whole thing would make me very pleased. Granted, I liked The Social Network more, but it has had enough recognition for one year.
5. I knew it was too much to hope that Edgar Wright would at least get a nomination.
1. Touché.
2. I would be ecstatic if Hawkes won.
3. As much as I loved Lawerence's work, I think I've made it quite clear in the last couple months I am an unapologetic Portman supporter who is already prepared to take on any backlash against her (and it's coming - oh boy, is it coming) in the next 6 weeks.
3A. That said, I'm very happy Lawrence was nominated. And Kidman. 3 of my Top 5 in one category. That one's stacked.
4. I will force Daryl to bust open his plum brandy if Winter's Bone wins Best Picture.
5. Edgar Wright to you was like Edward Norton & Milla Jovovich to me. Alas.
Oh, and I completely forgot about Olivia Williams getting snubbed for The Ghost Writer.
So I surfed on over to Slate and what headline immediately greeted me? "The King's Speech is riddled with gross falsifications of history."
The backlash has already begun! Fasten your seatbelts!
Agree with film intel. Love it!
Fincher.

Having seen all of the entries this year, I feel comfortable picking Toy Story 3 to win it all.
Maybe it's because Milla Jovovich looks fucking evil in that picture. And you leave Da Benning alone. You magnificent bastard.
Damn. She does look evil. It actually freaks me out a little now that I look at it.
Castor said...
I'm pulling for Michelle Williams to beat both Bening and Portman!! Bening doesn't even deserve her nomination and I'm horrified to see her so much acclaim for a character she has played a dozen time in her career
Yeah, of all the people in the Best Actress category, Bening is my least favorite. Which just makes it sound even more like I have a grudge against her but, really, it's just that I thought the other 4 were so fantastic. There may or may not be drama when the envelope's opened but I think it's the most loaded category in the whole field.

Michael and Pam live in southern suburbs of Sydney (The Shire), Australia. We caught the travel bug several years ago. Having been a firefighter for 34 years, I retired in 2012. Pam retired in 2017, so we have taken the opportunity to extend our motorhome travels and take the odd side trip.
Having visited Europe and North America in 2011-2013 we were looking for a way to extend our travelling dollar. After looking at numerous blogs, we decide a motorhome could be the way. So after much investigating we decided on the make and model we were looking for. Our plan was to purchase the motorhome during our next trip to the UK in 2013.
We started looking on eBay and next thing you know, we are the proud owners of a 2005 Hymer B584.
In 2014 we headed off on our first extended motorhome trip. Travelling from London via the ferry to Calais, from there we followed the French coast through Normandy, Brittany and the Atlantic coast to Spain before heading into the Pyrenees. From Toulouse we commenced two weeks on the Midi-Canal in a french penichette. Back on the road again we crossed into Spain and followed the west coast to Valencia before heading home via Bilbao.
In 2015 we wanted to do something special for the Anzac centenary. Our great uncle George Bentley Guymer served in the AIF in WW1, he was killed in French Flanders in 1917. So departing England for France via Dunkirk we visit Bailleul cemetery before transiting France and Italy to Ancona. Travelling by ferry to Igoumenitsa, touring northern Greece and entering Turkey. We visit Anzac Cove at Gallipoli, Istanbul and tour central Turkey before again travelling by ferry from Cesme to Chios (Greek Island) then ferry again to the Port of Piraeus. We wander the Peloponnese for a few weeks before heading back to Italy by ferry and starting the long drive back.
In 2016 we completed a four month tour of England and Europe in our Hymer. Starting with a ferry ride to the Ilse of Wight for a few days back in the 1960's. We then enjoyed a couple of weeks in Devon and Cornwall before crossing the channel by train for the first time. Having secured tickets for the Centenery Celebrations at Pozieres, we spent a few days in France before heading north into Belgium. The next 3 months were spent touring Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. This included an 8 day cruise on the Rhein River which ticks another one off the bucket list. In summary we fell in love with Germany, it proved to be a very motorhome friendly place to tour.
In 2017 we completed another four month tour commencing with a few weeks in England and Wales before pointing the Hymer towards the Chunnel and making our way to Europe. Heading north quickly across Belgium into The Netherlands we travelled on to northern Holland. Spending several days touring our way to the German border. We cross Germany quickly into Denmark, touring again up through western Denmark, crossing to Sweden then touring north through Norway, Finland and Sweden, before returning via eastern Denmark, central Germany and France.
In 2018 we completed an 18 week tour commencing with 5 weeks in Scotland including Skye, the Outer Hebrides and the Orkneys. Then made for the chunnel and France to spend a few days focused on the Tour de France in the Alps. As the Tour moved north we headed south spending a week touring the French Alps, before crossing into Italy. From Genoa we took a ferry to Sicily, then another to Malta for 8 days. Then back to Sicily and on to the Italian mainland. We toured Italy for the next 8 weeks before crossing France again, the chunnel and putting the Hymer in hibernation till next year.

Q: Unable to read latest changes to the ProgramData I have a program that executes an executable using Process.Start(). The executable I invoke is a third party program that updates a folder in ProgramData. Once the folder in the ProgramData gets updated the next set of lines in my program try to read the latest changes.
I have noticed that the latest changes cannot be read even after the executable gets executed, however when I run my program again from the beginning I can see the changes being read correctly. I am assuming this has something to do with AppDomain not able to see the changes during execution.
Is there anyway I can get things working here?
In the code below inside method HSMTransactionHandler if an exception with message HSM_ENCRYPTION_KEY_NOT_FOUND occurs, then I execute an exe by calling method UpdateFromRFS and then invoke HSMTransactionHandler recursively. The execution of the exe gets the required resource but the code doesn't read it. If I run another program during the execution of the current program, the second program reads the resource without any problem. Which makes me think if a process or app-domain can see the changes that occurs to the ProgramData folder after it has started?
Just so that everyone know I am using PKCS11Interop library which is a managed .net wrapper built around a native dll. I am also not sure if using a native dll can cause this.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

                var decryptedSymmetricKeyBytes = session.Decrypt(mechanism, privateKey, encryptedSymmetricKeyBytes);

Edit 2: I checked and found that its working without even setting CKNFAST_ASSUME_SINGLE_PROCESS to 0, so may all that is needed is to dispose the pkcs11 object and re-initialize it

A: Based on your previous questions #1, #2 and #3 I am guessing (because you did not write it) that you are executing rfs-sync.exe and your PKCS#11 library still does not see freshly synced keys. If that is the case, then you need to consult HSM user guide and find variable (similar to CKNFAST_FAKE_ACCELERATOR_LOGIN) which makes your PKCS#11 library reread local FS each time you perform searching operation. Without that variable PKCS#11 library just caches the contents of local FS during its initialization.

A: Process.Start() returns immediately, i.e., it means that the process has started. In other words, it means the process has NOT finished.
Generally, you should have some sort of wait for the process to finish.
i.e, Process.WaitForExit() or use Process.Exited event.

Q: How do I make a deep copy of an ArrayList in Java? I am basically just trying to make a deep copy of ones and zeroes, so I could have used booleans, but I was wondering how to do this in genereal for integers.
private ArrayList<Integer> makeDeepCopyInteger(ArrayList<Integer> a) {
    ArrayList<Integer> newA = new ArrayList<>(a.size());
    for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) {
        int newInt = 0;
        if (a.get(i) == 1) {
            newInt = 1;
        }
        newA.add(newInt);
    }
    return newA;
}

A: The clone() method is protected by the Integer class, so you cannot call Integer.clone() outside of that class. What you can do instead is create a new Integer.
private ArrayList<Integer> makeDeepCopyInteger(ArrayList<Integer> old){
    ArrayList<Integer> copy = new ArrayList<Integer>(old.size());
    for(Integer i : old){
        copy.add(new Integer(i));
    }
    return copy;
}

You can test that this works by doing something like:
public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
{
    ArrayList<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<>();
    for(int i = 0; i<5; i++){
        arr.add(new Integer(i));
    }
    ArrayList<Integer> x = makeDeepCopyInteger(arr);
    for(int i = 0; i<x.size(); i++){
        if(arr.get(i) == x.get(i)){
            System.out.println("Same object");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Not the same object");
        }
    }
}

Tests
Integer a = new Integer(1);
Integer b = new Integer(a);

System.out.println(a==b); // true
System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(a) == (System.identityHashCode(b))); // false;

Integer a = new Integer(1);
Integer b = a;

System.out.println(a==b); // true
System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(a) == (System.identityHashCode(b))); // true

So from my testing it seems that to create a new reference for copying to a new array, you should use new Integer(). Integer is an immutable object but that reference changes when the value of Integer changes.

A: Use streams to copy objects. Easy to read, good for JIT. Following code provides a copy of a list with Integer object copies inside.
private ArrayList<Integer> makeDeepCopyInteger(ArrayList<Integer> a){
    return a.stream().map(val -> new Integer(val)).collect(toList());
}

To copy custom objects other than Integer override implement and call clone()
return a.stream().map(MyObjectClass::clone).collect(toList());

Instead of clone you can use serialization to json. E.g. as used in BeanUtils.getCopy(sourceBean) in following java-utils

A: you'll have to iterate over the items of the list and clone them before, adding them to the new list, as mentioned here:
How to clone ArrayList and also clone its contents?

A: You could do something like:
public static List<Integer> clone(List<Integer> source) {
   return source.stream()
       .map( intObj -> new Integer(intObj.intValue()))
       .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

Or, more old-fashioned:
public static List<Integer> clone(List<Integer> source) {
   List<Integer> newList = new ArrayList<>();
   for(Integer intObj : source) {
      newList.add(new Integer(intObj.intValue()));
   }

Both of these could be made shorter by taking advantage of auto-boxing / auto-unboxing. But I've made it explicit to make it absolutely clear what's going on.
However, it's a pointless exercise - in fact it's actively wasteful of memory and detrimental to performance. Integer is immutable, so it's better for references to point at the same instance of Integer. Because it's not possible for the Integer to change value, it's impossible to cause any harm by sharing an instance.
This holds true for immutable objects in general, and is the reason they are a good thing.
You are very unlikely, as a beginner, to find a case in which new Integer(...) is a good idea (or even Integer.valueOf(int i), although this one might return a cached instance). If you already have an Integer, use the one you have:
 Integer oldVar = ... ;
 Integer newVar = oldVar;

Immutability means that will always be OK. It is impossible for an operation on newVar to corrupt oldVar because there is no newVar.setValue(newValue).
If you have an int use it directly and allow Java's auto-boxing to convert it into an Integer:
 int oldValue = ... ;
 Integer newValue = oldValue ; // Java will automatically put this through
                               // Integer.valueOf(int i)

You mentioned that you really wanted to work with booleans. You should consider using BitSet.

Chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer: a radiotherapy dose escalation and organ motion study.
Henry, Ann M; Ryder, W David J; Moore, Christopher J; Sherlock, David J; Geh, J I; Dunn, P; Price, Patricia M; Academic Department of Radiation Oncology, The University of Manchester, Department of Medical Statistics, Christie Hospital NHS Trust, Manchester, UK. (2008-09)
AIMS: To determine the efficacy of radiation dose escalation and to examine organ motion during conformal radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-nine patients who were consecutively treated with chemoradiotherapy were studied. Fifteen patients, treated from 1993 to 1997, received 50 Gy in 20 fractions (group I). Twenty-four patients, treated from 1997 to 2003, received an escalated dose of 55 Gy in 25 fractions (group II). Intra-fraction pancreatic tumour motion was assessed in three patients using megavoltage movies during radiation delivery to track implanted radio-opaque markers. RESULTS: Improved survival rates were seen in latterly treated group II patients (P=0.083), who received escalated radiotherapy to smaller treatment volumes due to advances in verification. Worse toxicity effects (World Health Organization grade 3-4) were reported by some patients (<10%), but treatment compliance was similar in both groups, indicating equivalent tolerance. Substantial intra-fraction tumour displacement due to respiratory motion was observed: this was greatest in the superior/inferior (mean=6.6 mm) and anterior/posterior (mean=4.75 mm) directions. Lateral displacements were small (<2 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Dose escalation is feasible in pancreatic cancer, particularly when combined with a reduction in irradiated volume, and enhanced efficacy is indicated. Large, globally applied margins to compensate for pancreatic tumour motion during radiotherapy may be inappropriate. Strategies to reduce respiratory motion, and/or the application of image-guided techniques that incorporate individual patients' respiratory motion into radiotherapy planning and delivery, will probably improve pancreatic radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy in the management of unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer: a survey of the current UK practice of clinical oncologists.
Saleem, Azeem; Jackson, A; Mukherjee, S; Stones, N; Crosby, T; Tait, D; Price, Patricia M; University of Manchester Academic Radiation Oncology, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK. azeem.saleem@manchester.ac.uk (2010-05)
A survey was conducted by the Academic Clinical Oncology and Radiobiology Research Network (ACORRN) to evaluate current radiotherapy practice and to inform future research needs in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. A clear need for a co-ordinated multicentre approach, given the limited number of patients who may qualify for such UK trials, was identified. Such trials should incorporate evidence-based treatment protocols and appropriate quality assurance procedures to ensure delivery of the highest standards of radiation-based therapy within, and without, clinical trials.


A private IP address is assigned to a device within a closed network and is not readily available to search for on the internet. To facilitate the distribution of IP addresses within networks and organizations, private addresses were created. It is easier to understand a private IP address by explaining an actual scenario.
Let's imagine that you have a home network - You have a desktop computer, a laptop, a smartphone and a tablet. These devices all connect to the internet through a central router. Instead of each device on your network being allocated with a public IP address, the only public IP Address you will use is assigned to the router.
A router will be assigned a public IP address, but will then assign a private address using the DHCP protocol to each device on your network. The devices on your network will communicate with each other using their private IP address, and the router will use its public IP address to facilitate communication over the internet. When connecting to the internet, your private IP addresses will remain hidden, and only the routers public IP address is visible.
The 192.168.0.0/16 private network can be interpreted either as a block of 256 class C network IDs or as a 16-bit assignable address space (16 host bits) that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the private organization. The 192.168.0.0/16 private network allows the following range of valid IP addresses: 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254.
The 172.16.0.0/12 private network can be interpreted either as a block of 16 class B network IDs or as a 20-bit assignable address space (20 host bits) that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the private organization. The 172.16.0.0/12 private network allows the following range of valid IP addresses: 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254.
The 10.0.0.0/8 private network is a class A network ID that allows the following range of valid IP addresses: 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254. The 10.0.0.0/8 private network has 24 host bits that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the private organization.

Q: Interpretation of mean absolute scaled error (MASE) Mean absolute scaled error (MASE) is a measure of forecast accuracy proposed by Koehler & Hyndman (2006).
$$MASE=\frac{MAE}{MAE_{in-sample, \, naive}}$$
where $MAE$ is the mean absolute error produced by the actual forecast;
while $MAE_{in-sample, \, naive}$ is the mean absolute error produced by a naive forecast (e.g. no-change forecast for an integrated $I(1)$ time series), calculated on the in-sample data.
(Check out the Koehler & Hyndman (2006) paper for a precise definition and formula.)
$MASE>1$ implies that the actual forecast does worse out of sample than a naive forecast did in sample, in terms of mean absolute error. Thus if mean absolute error is the relevant measure of forecast accuracy (which depends on the problem at hand), $MASE>1$ suggests that the actual forecast should be discarded in favour of a naive forecast if we expect the out-of-sample data to be quite like the in-sample data (because we only know how well a naive forecast performed in sample, not out of sample).
Question:
$MASE=1.38$ was used as a benchmark in a forecasting competition proposed in this Hyndsight blog post. Shouldn't an obvious benchmark have been $MASE=1$?
Of course, this question is not specific to the particular forecasting competition. I would like some help on understanding this in a more general context.
My guess:
The only sensible explanation I see is that a naive forecast was expected to do quite worse out of sample than it did in sample, e.g. due to a structural change. Then $MASE<1$ might have been too challenging to achieve.

A: Not an answer, but a plot following Stephan Kolassa's call to "look at these series".
Kaggle tourism1
has 518 yearly time series, for which we want to predict the last 4 values:

The plot shows the errors from the "naive" constant predictor, here $5^{th}$ last:
$\qquad Error4( y ) \equiv {1 \over 4} \sum_ {last\ 4} |y_i - y_{-5}| $
The numbers in the corners, 81 12 ..., are $Error4(y)$ as % of range, and $length(y)$.
The 3 rows are the 10 worst, 10 in the middle, and 10 best of all 518 yearly time series.
Obviously, very short series -- 12 11 7 7 7 ... in the top row --
are hard to predict: no surprise.
(Athanasopoulos, Hyndman, Song and Wu,
The Tourism Forecasting Competition
(2011, 23p)
used 112 of the 518 yearly series, but I don't see which ones.)
Are there other, newer collections of time series since 2010,
that might be worth looking at ?

A: In the linked blog post, Rob Hyndman calls for entries to a tourism forecasting competition. Essentially, the blog post serves to draw attention to the relevant IJF article, an ungated version of which is linked to in the blog post.
The benchmarks you refer to - 1.38 for monthly, 1.43 for quarterly and 2.28 for yearly data - were apparently arrived at as follows. The authors (all of them are expert forecasters and very active in the IIF - no snake oil salesmen here) are quite capable of applying standard forecasting algorithms or forecasting software, and they are probably not interested in simple ARIMA submission. So they went and applied some standard methods to their data. For the winning submission to be invited for a paper in the IJF, they ask that it improve on the best of these standard methods, as measured by the MASE.
So your question essentially boils down to:

Given that a MASE of 1 corresponds to a forecast that is out-of-sample as good (by MAD) as the naive random walk forecast in-sample, why can't standard forecasting methods like ARIMA improve on 1.38 for monthly data?

Here, the 1.38 MASE comes from Table 4 in the ungated version. It is the average ASE over 1-24 month ahead forecasts from ARIMA. The other standard methods, like ForecastPro, ETS etc. perform even worse.
And here, the answer gets hard. It is always very problematic to judge forecast accuracy without considering the data. One possibility I could think of in this particular case could be accelerating trends. Suppose that you try to forecast $\exp(t)$ with standard methods. None of these will capture the accelerating trend (and this is usually a Good Thing - if your forecasting algorithm often models an accelerating trend, you will likely far overshoot your mark), and they will yield a MASE that is above 1. Other explanations could, as you say, be different structural breaks, e.g., level shifts or external influences like SARS or 9/11, which would not be captured by the non-causal benchmark models, but which could be modeled by dedicated tourism forecasting methods (although using future causals in a holdout sample is a kind of cheating).
So I'd say that you likely can't say a lot about this withough looking at the data themselves. They are available on Kaggle. Your best bet is likely to take these 518 series, hold out the last 24 months, fit ARIMA series, calculate MASEs, dig out the ten or twenty MASE-worst forecast series, get a big pot of coffee, look at these series and try to figure out what it is that makes ARIMA models so bad at forecasting them.
EDIT: another point that appears obvious after the fact but took me five days to see - remember that the denominator of the MASE is the one-step ahead in-sample random walk forecast, whereas the numerator is the average of the 1-24-step ahead forecasts. It's not too surprising that forecasts deteriorate with increasing horizons, so this may be another reason for a MASE of 1.38. Note that the Seasonal Naive forecast was also included in the benchmark and had an even higher MASE.

FORMER Celtic hero John Hartson reckons Neil Lennon might hang around in Scotland to smash a Rangers revival and become a 10-in-a-row legend.
Lennon is widely tipped to make a move to the Premier League in the coming seasons, and has once again featured on the bookies' list of candidates after Swansea City this week axed Michael Laudrup.
Only this week Lennon – abused at Saturday's League Cup semi-final between Aberdeen and St Johnstone – indicated that there might come a time when the attacks on him force him to consider his future.
But Hartson – a Swans fan and a former Parkhead team-mate of Lennon – believes the challenge of following in the footsteps of Jock Stein and Walter Smith might keep him in Glasgow Hartson said: "He might well be thinking about titles. Rangers are not going to be strong for another two or three years, so by then Celtic could have six titles in a row.
"In 50 years time no one will question Neil's title wins and say, 'Ah, but Rangers were out of the league at that point'.
"No one will point that out if Celtic win 10-in-a-row. It will just be Neil Lennon – boss during 10-in-a-row.
"Gordon Strachan won three in a row, but the books don't add that Rangers were a poor side under Paul Le Guen, who had dropped Barry Ferguson as captain. Lenny may well be thinking along those lines – he could make himself an absolute living legend along the lines of Jock Stein or Walter Smith.
"There are challenges for Neil to win trophies and he may well be thinking long-term and the fact he could be here for the next 10 years and then he can break all kinds of records.
"The Rangers' challenge will be to come back and try to stop that 10-in-a-row challenge.
"I remember guys such as Craig Burley and Paul Lambert talking about the biggest Old Firm games ever in 1998 as Celtic tried to stop Rangers reaching 10.
Lennon was forced to leave Tynecastle on Saturday after he was verbally abused, spat on and had coins lobbed at him by Aberdeen yobs.
In the wake of the incident, Lennon hit out at once again being the target for thugs. Hartson admitted lesser men might have been broken by the attacks on him and his family by now.
The Welshman added: "He's had threats to his life, he's had bombs through his letterbox, he's been physically beaten up on a public street and abused at games as we saw last weekend.
"I know he's strong-willed and he's a strong character because I sat next to Neil in that Celtic dressing room for five years. But you just wonder.
"He's at a special place where he would have to seriously consider his options before moving because he loves his job.
"But with all the outside animosity and problems that come up all the time you wonder if Neil would have a gut full of it at some stage.
"I can take my dogs for a walk in the afternoon, I can go to my village pub and have a couple of pints, I can play darts on a Monday night with the lads and I don't get any threats.
Hartson was speaking yesterday at the Carrick Golf Club on Loch Lomond ahead of a golf day on March 18 to raise funds for his own cancer charity.
Scotland boss Gordon Strachan, Old Firm gaffers Lennon and Ally McCoist as well as Robbie Savage, Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer have already pledged to take part.

Part II - OK, I want it. Now what?
2. Part II - OK, I want it. Now what?
Upgrade your txt2tags to version 2.5 or newer, which has strike text support with the -- mark. For example, --STRIKE-- becomes STRIKE.
If you want to use this filter for all your files, put it on the txt2tags RC File.
This way, "latex", "LATEX", "LAtex" and all its variants will be changed to "LaTeX".
| This is a centered paragraph.
Note: There are spaces before the pipe | to make the table centred. There are no trailing pipe at the end of the line, so this table has no border, making it invisible.
Note: Yes, this is ugly and piggy. Avoid to use it.
Note: In (X)HTML targets, it's best to enclose the paragraph inside a DIV and make a CSS rule to center it.
please [read my Blog URLBLOG] or [search Google URLGOOGLE].
This site is powered by [txt2tags http://txt2tags.org].
Plus: If there are links that you use all the time in your documents (your website or blog, for example), you can make a global link bank on an urls.t2t file, or on your txt2tags RC File, then all your documents can use them. The other advantage is that it makes easy when the link changes, you just have to edit one single place.
An evolution from the previous tip, you can put links automatically for any word(s) you want.
I do use Txt2tags, Google and Yahoo! Groups everyday.
Handy, huh? Note that the "(?i)" part on the first filter make it case insensitive, working for "txt2tags", "TXT2TAGS" and any other variant.
Note: This is often needed for local (relative) links only. Full URLs like www.example.com/product?id=1234567 are recognized by default.
Txt2tags doesn't colorize programming code inside verbatim blocks. That would be plain bloat, and we're KISS.
But you can make that using any other colorizer program and save the results to a file. Then you just include this file on the txt2tags conversion using the Tagged Include feature.
You can enter the © and ® symbols directly on the source file without fuss. Just find out how to insert them in your text editor. Copy & paste also works fine (copy from here!).
Note: In Vim, type Ctrl-K Co and Ctrl-K Rg in Insert mode. The :dig command lists other symbols.
Things can get real wild if you make lots of configs in all those places. Even wilder if you're using the %!includeconf command to get more configuration to your document.
Then there is the config found on the document's Config Area. Note that the first column shows the target where the config will be applied. If it is "(all)", this config is valid for all targets.
And after all this listing, here is the result: the parsed config. It's the real configuration that will be applied to the document after all the configs were read and processed.
Some targets let you align each table cell independently, as HTML. Other are more strict, just letting you align the table column, then all its cells share the same positioning. This is the case for SGML, LaTeX and Man.
On this targets, the column alignment is defined by the align of the first table row cells (usually it's a title row). So keep that in mind when writing your text.
In this example, both columns will be centered on the aforementioned targets, regardless the left and right align defined on the second and third rows.
So this option clears the formatting attributes and create new DIVs to make it easier to use CSS rules. Then you can see the page as a three piece component: header, toc, body and apply different rules for each.
Note: Using --style doesn't imply --css-sugar. You have to declare both.
Txt2tags doesn't have a mark for the manual line break. In the cases you want to use it, maybe a bullet list, a table or a verbatim text would fit better.
But if the line break is the solution you want, just make your own new mark for it. Let's say "@@" will be the line break mark.
By default txt2tags uses the good old visual tags (, , , <S>) for bold, italic, underline and strike text.
Using this filters, ^^upper^^ and ,,lower,, becomes upper and lower.
If you want to use this filters for all your files, put it on the txt2tags RC File.
In txt2tags you have a mark for local images, but not for remote ones. The trick here is to fool the program making it think your remote image is local.
Hi, check out my picture: [RemoteImage.jpg].
So txt2tags will make the image tag  and the filter will change it to .
Hi, check out my picture: [""http://www.example.com/myimage"".jpg].
Txt2tags already puts an empty ALT="" attribute on all images, so all you have to do is to fill it. PostProc comes for the rescue.
The PostProc rule is a regular expression that matches from the image filename until its ALT attribute contents start. Don't worry if you don't understand these symbols. Just copy & paste these lines to you text and change "city.jpg" by your image filename and "this is my city" to the image's text. The rest remains untouched.
From txt2tags version 2.6 and newer, there's a new tagged mark to directly insert target code.
This paragraph will live inside mycooldiv DIV.
But note that txt2tags marks are not interpreted here.
Txt2tags marks are interpreted here.
My name is ''''John''''.
You can combine the Raw Line mark and a PostProc filter to insert any arbitrary (X)HTML tag you need.
Note: The blank line after the paragraph is to make sure it will be closed before the DIV. If omitted, you'll end with tag overlap:

.
All modern browsers know how to handle accented characters, you don't need to use HTML entities like é or ã to represent them. Just type the accented letters normally.
You can get full instructions on how to install and use HTMLDOC with txt2tags on this Blog post.
If you're migrating your site to txt2tags, there's a handy Vim script to convert all your HTML files to the simple t2t markup.
First download the unhtml.vim script, or get it from the txt2tags "extras" folder.
A new txt2tags file named <yourfile>.html.t2t will be saved. Check its contents and correct by hand any mistake.
Repeat this process to all your HTML files.
Note: The Vim editor is installed by default on Linux and Mac OS X. Windows users must download and install it to use this script.
%!postproc(man): "^(\.TH.*) 1 "  "\1 5 "
Change the number "5" to the desired section number. Attention to the white spaces. Cut & paste this line to make sure it is correct.
You can use the strong bar (=========) to make a pause on the current slide in MagicPoint. It's useful to show just the first part of the slide, then you explain it, then you press the space bar and the rest of the slide appears.
If you want to use this configuration for all your files, put it on the txt2tags RC File.
In txt2tags, the third header line is often used for the document date. If you leave it blank, no date tag will be generated. But in LaTeX, when no date tag is found, it automatically shows the current date on the document cover. Some expect this behavior, some don't.
The filter will remove the hyphen, leaving the tag empty and then LaTeX won't print any date.
Note that the IANA standard encoding names are automatically translated to the LaTeX equivalents (iso-8859-1 to latin1 on this example).
Create your own LaTeX user style file (say myrules.sty) with all the packages and configuration you usually put inside the document Preamble.
Note: The support for multiple style files was added into txt2tags version 2.3.1.
In LaTeX you normally just use $\mu$ to represent the µ Greek letter. You can type the letter on the txt2tags sources and make a postproc to convert it to the LaTeX entity.
You can create similar filters for all the Greek letters do you normally use, as well for any other special encoded letter or symbol.
The ! executes an external command and % expands to the current filename. Make sure you have set the %!target configuration on the file, so you don't have to type the -t option on the command line.
