LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! One of the newest communities in Dr. Phillips, Disney Fire Works on the lake!. This is a super luxurious and gorgeous Siena floor plan, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3 car garage. Gorgeous lake view, tons of upgrades, state of the art sound, alarm and entertainment system. The pool is just a piece of art with special lighting, an overview of the lake and beautiful sunsets. This amazing home includes tile roof, paved driveway, screened lanai and deck. In the interior, you will find enlarged bathrooms, a master bedroom on the first floor and a beautiful master bedroom on the second floor designed by professional decorators. This is a second home for the owner so it is kept in pristine conditions. The home is vacant most of the time. Don´t miss this opportunity.

I am interested in 10878 Lemon Lake Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32836.


There is a lizard down in Central and South America called the basilisk. I wonder what prompted Carl Linnaeus to name it after a creature that could kill you with a its gaze or breath. Maybe it looks like the art from mythology. Anyway, this critter has baffled scientists for a mighty long time because of the way it runs across the water. Funny to watch, but it works.
It doesn't just take a leisurely stroll, because that won't work. It has to be moving right quick. Even then, its feet sink in a little bit.
When it gets all tuckered out and can no longer run, the basilisk will be content to swim. Proponents of molecules-to-machinist evolution have trouble explaining ability to run on water, but the specified complexity in the details involved clearly indicate the work of the Master Engineer. By the way, God's design is up for plagiarism again: scientists are studying this creature so they can design machines that run across the water.
A lizard that walks on water? The Basiliscus genus of lizard is often irreverently called the 'Jesus lizard', an obvious allusion to the miraculous act when the Lord Jesus Christ walked on water. But a far more accurate description is that the basilisk (as it is commonly known) runs on water.
Basilisk lizards consist of four species ranging from areas of southern Mexico to the northern areas of South America, as well as Florida in the United States. They are excellent swimmers and climbers, but when a predator threatens, escape comes by sprinting across the water's surface.

STUDY OF FLOWERING AND FRUITING CHARACTERISTICS OF TWO STRAINS OF EARLY SEASON LONGAN (DIMOCARPUS LONGAN LOUR.)
J.C. Pan, G.X. Huang, L.J. Liu, F. Li
Two early season strains of longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), 'Early Season 1' and 'Early Season 2', were compared with 'Shixia' (Dimocarpus longan Lour. cv. Shixia), an early season cultivar of longan widely grown in Guangxi province of China for their flowering and fruiting characteristics. The results showed that 'Early Season 1' and 'Early Season 2' started to bloom on 8th of April, 2 d earlier than 'Shixia'. Fruits of 'Early Season 1' and 'Early Season 2' matured on 20th and 25th of July, 14 d and 10 d earlier than that of 'Shixia', respectively. Single fruit weight of 'Early Season 1', 'Early Season 2' and 'Shixia' were 11.05, 10.8 and 9.8 g, respectively. The content of TSS of 'Early Season 1' and 'Early Season 2' were 19.3 and 19.2%, being 2.7 and 2.8% lower than that of 'Shixia', respectively. Both strains show good potential as high quality early season varieties.

Q: Delete personal gmail from work iPad I don't have a delete button when I go to Settings, choose  Calendars, etc. then my gmail account I want to delete on my work iPad. I see only a sign-out option. Do I have to have my work delete my personal gmail account since they are the main account holder.

A: If you go into settings -> mail, Contacts, Calendars all of your accounts should be listed there. (Your question does not mention that specific location, did you go there?) Tap on the one you want to delete and scroll to the bottom of the screen. There should be an option to to remove the account.
Depending on how the iPad was set up at work they may have some sort of MDM installed that prevents you from doing a number of things, including adding or removing accounts and apps, changing certain settings and the like. If that is the case you may have to talk with your IT people to do what you want to do.

Орден Пресвятой Девы Марии Испанской () или Орден Звезды () — военно-рыцарский институт посвящённой жизни в Римско-католической церкви, основанный Альфонсом X, королём Кастилии и Леона в 1270 году. В 1280 году орден был упразднён и включен в состав Ордена Святого Иакова.

История
Орден был основан в 1270 году королём Альфонсом X Мудрым с целью укрепления обороноспособности (охрана морских границ) королевства Кастилии и Леона. Он был основан по аналогии с орденом Калатравы. Членами организации были дворяне, рыцари и представители духовенства.

С 1273 года орден по приказу короля вошел в состав монашеской семьи цистерцианцев. Форма члена организации состояла из черной мантии и красного плаща с золотой звездой, внутри которой была вышита Богоматерь с Предвечным Младенцем на троне.

, включающий , содержит несколько кантиг, посвящённых этому ордену. К сожалению, не сохранилась нотная запись духовных песен.

Штаб-квартира ордена находилась при цистерцианском монастыре в Картахене, в построенном по приказу короля, который пожелал быть похороненным в нём после смерти. Орден был посвящён , чей средневековый образ почитается в Картахене.

Некоторые историки считают, что собор Картахены на самом деле являлся храмом этого монастыря.

Орден также имел базы в портах Сан-Себастьян, Ла-Корунья и Эль Пуэрто де Санта Мария, подчинявшиеся штабу в Картахене.

23 июня 1280 года в битве при Мослин армия Кастилии и Леона под командованием Гонсало Руис Хирона, Великого магистра Ордена Святого Иакова и принца Санчо Храброго, будущего короля Санчо IV, не принимавшего участия в сражении, потерпела сокрушительное поражение от армии мусульман под командованием Мухаммеда II аль-Факиха, султана Гранады. Орден Святого Иакова потерял многих своих членов, в том числе и Гонсало Руис Хирона, который умер от ран, полученных в бою.

Для того, чтобы предотвратить исчезновение ордена Святого Иакова, король Альфонс X упразднил орден Пресвятой Девы Марии Испанской и ввел его членов в орден Святого Иакова, назначив новым Великим магистром Педро Нуньеса.

Причиной для упразднения ордена была его неэффективность в борьбе с врагами королевства Кастилии и Леона на море. Так флот ордена, армада Санта Мария де Эспанья, был полностью уничтожен в сражении при Альхесирасе.

13 августа 2008 года в Картахене был создан католический монашеский орден, ставший преемником Ордена Пресвятой Девы Марии Испанской. Члены этого ордена особенно почитают Богоматерь Росельскую.

FRANKFURT (Bloomberg) --Ford Motor Co., said European sales in December dropped 23 percent as the region's market shrank and other manufacturers offered "unprecedented" rebates to lure buyers.
Registrations in Ford's 19 main markets in Europe fell to 84,400, the company's Cologne, Germany-based regional division said in a statement. For the full year, registrations sank 11 percent to 1.28 million vehicles and market share declined 0.7 percentage points to 8.4 percent. Ford said it maintained its No. 2 position in Europe for a third straight year.
The region's car market declined more than half a million units to 15.3 million, Ford said, forecasting it will be in the range of 14.5 million to 15.5 million units this year. Government incentives elapsed and budget cuts in European countries including Spain and Greece discouraged potential customers from buying a new car last year.
Ford has begun selling a new version of its C-MAX wagon and will offer an overhauled version of the Focus compact in the first quarter. It said it's introducing "at least 20 new products and derivatives" in Europe in the next three years.
Ford won't "undermine our fundamentally efficient and strong business by buying share or volume through widespread and excessive incentives that can damage residual values and brand image," Odell said.


Just like you shucking peas!
Finding warmth in a sliver of light.
Which my hand found with ease.
If we could each believe this truth?
Into this bag of potatoes!
Fixing generators with all night fuel parties.
And don't piss off the bouncer.
The letters from Salem finally arrived today. I had been preparing for them all week – harvesting a few varieties of toadstools in the forest around the area.
Bonhomie fills my heart this time of season. I wear my warm clothes and delight in an extra cup of coffee most days. Are you still exploring your art of the bean? I have started to use a scale to measure proportions for my perfect cup of coffee.
As I read through the hand written letters, the snow started falling here. Big large flakes that have started to stay on the ground, lazily floating there chaotically.
I love this time of year. The browns are so dominant, lacking most any signs of the lush green foliage of summer's heat. It soothes the black heart inside of me, calling out to me slowly as I imagine the sweet embracing, icy fingers of Gaia as she slowly settles into fetal position – eyes flickering slowly – for a calm rest. Much like the feline.
I saved a feline from certain death two weeks ago. It had come pawing at my door after I fed it one lonely night. I had seen it fishing in garbage cans for luck earlier that week. We tracked down the owner who said it was left behind during a move half way across the country.
Can you imagine the absurdity of that? Moving half way across the country and leaving without your cat?
It's a beautiful cat with the fullest of coats and a purr that shakes the icicles from sweet Gaia grip as she slowly settles into my black heart.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. The lovely sketch that accompanied your last letter was so enchanting. I've had it sitting on my windowsill since you sent it.
I've been wandering the streets late at night wondering where I am, what I'm doing here, how I got here, what day it is. I know this is kind of silly, just a simple glance at my watch I've begun to wear again, but I think it's more in theory: I'm lost. Can you associate?
I don't look at my hands much anymore. They've become acceptable. I now am fascinated with my chin. The various states of hair growth, the different shape it takes upon waking, after shaving, after showering, at night, in the morning. Have you ever noticed this difference?
Well, the rumors are true. I've begun to enjoy the pleasures of massage. Can you believe I went this long in life without ever truly exploring what my muscles could handle, besides that which I do for muscle growth? I get lost for good lengths of time just trying to understand why my muscle is flip-flopping as it does. I notice when I lie flat on the ground that a muscle in my back shifts a bit. I notice my calves are incredibly tight. And to have somebody else do it for me?! Goodness.
Have you discovered the wonders of coconut oil yet?
And the end of rainbows are within walking distance.
And walked most places without shoes or sandals on.
And I learned how to make kichari and nutmilks.
And yes, the name alludes to the taste of these heavenly things.
It's been an interesting journey for me trying to reintegrate into society.
Going for multiple bike rides – which I love so much – every day.
Along the ocean here and through my favorite parts of town.
Which you also know I love to do so much.
Between the Middle Ages all the way up to the present day.
And grow with everything at the same time.
Love is good, food is good, life is good.
It kind of made me feel sea-sick, like when I used to go high.
Did you jump off at the end?
Perhaps that's why my feet get sore sometimes now.
How we've both become family people now.
We all have regularly. My whole world.
Do you also get this feeling with yours?
Duke, our little fox terrier is getting quite old now.
Do you remember when we first got him?
As a puppy the other day, so cute.
And when we go for a walk he's always very obedient.
He gets along with the kids so well.
I hate to think of life without Duke, but we must brace for it a bit.
We all look forward to your visit this summer.
I've always known you to have.
Of a woman she is – and of course you are, my friend.
I frequently think back to our college days.. Do you?
Which I accompanied you on.
Do you remember jumping into/over that tree, down the drop?
I'm surprised we didn't break bones doing that.
How big was that drop? Must have been about 5 feet or so..
Of course you have memories. I think we've talked about this before.
Perhaps it's also my slow submission towards some light.
I see that light in you when we come and visit.
But if you ask me, this is dangerously close to necromancy.
Well, that or being God.
We've never talked about God before. What is your God?
Hope all is well my friend. I look forward to hearing from you.

Home Magnets World Scientists discovered a 2-D magnet
Scientists discovered a 2-D magnet
For the first time, scientists have discovered magnetism in the 2-D world of monolayers, or materials that are formed by a single atomic layer. The findings demonstrate that magnetic properties can exist even in the 2-D realm — opening a world of potential applications.
A team led by the University of Washington and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has for the first time discovered magnetism in the 2-D world of monolayers, or materials that are formed by a single atomic layer. The findings, published June 8 in the journal Nature, demonstrate that magnetic properties can exist even in the 2-D realm — opening a world of potential applications.
"What we have discovered here is an isolated 2-D material with intrinsic magnetism, and the magnetism in the system is highly robust," said Xiaodong Xu, a UW professor of physics and of materials science and engineering, and member of the UW's Clean Energy Institute. "We envision that new information technologies may emerge based on these new 2-D magnets."
Xu and MIT physics professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero led the international team of scientists who proved that the material — chromium triiodide, or CrI3 — has magnetic properties in its monolayer form.
Other groups, including co-author Michael McGuire at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, had previously shown that CrI3 — in its multilayered, 3-D, bulk crystal form — is ferromagnetic. In ferromagnetic materials, the "spins" of constituent electrons, analogous to tiny, subatomic magnets, align in the same direction even without an external magnetic field.
But no 3-D magnetic substance had previously retained its magnetic properties when thinned down to a single atomic sheet. In fact, monolayer materials can demonstrate unique properties not seen in their multilayered, 3-D forms.
"You simply cannot accurately predict what the electric, magnetic, physical or chemical properties of a 2-D monolayer crystal will be based on the behavior of its 3-D bulk counterpart," said co-lead author and UW doctoral student Bevin Huang.
Atoms within monolayer materials are considered "functionally" two-dimensional because the electrons can only travel within the atomic sheet, like pieces on a chessboard.
To discover the properties of CrI3 in its 2-D form, the team used Scotch tape to shave a monolayer of CrI3 off the larger, 3-D crystal form.
"Using Scotch tape to exfoliate a monolayer from its 3-D bulk crystal is surprisingly effective," said co-lead author and UW doctoral student Genevieve Clark. "This simple, low-cost technique was first used to obtain graphene, the 2-D form of graphite, and has been used successfully since then with other materials."
In ferromagnetic materials, the aligned spins of electrons leave a telltale signature when a beam of polarized light is reflected off the material's surface. The researchers detected this signature in CrI3 using a special type of microscopy. It is the first definitive sign of intrinsic ferromagnetism in an isolated monolayer.
Surprisingly, in CrI3 flakes that are two layers thick, the optical signature disappeared. This indicates that the electron spins are oppositely aligned to one another, a term known as anti-ferromagnetic ordering.
Ferromagnetism returned in three-layer CrI3. The scientists will need to conduct further studies to understand why CrI3 displayed these remarkable layer-dependent magnetic phases. But to Xu, these are just some of the truly unique properties revealed by combining monolayers.
"2-D monolayers alone offer exciting opportunities to study the drastic and precise electrical control of magnetic properties, which has been a challenge to realize using their 3-D bulk crystals," said Xu. "But an even greater opportunity can arise when you stack monolayers with different physical properties together. There, you can get even more exotic phenomena not seen in the monolayer alone or in the 3-D bulk crystal."
Much of Xu's research centers on creating heterostructures, which are stacks of two different ultrathin materials. At the interface between the two materials, his team searches for new physical phenomena or new functions to allow potential applications in computing and information technologies.
In a related advance, Xu's research group, UW electrical engineering and physics professor Kai-Mei Fu led a team of colleagues published a paper May 31 in Science Advances showing that an ultrathin form of CrI3, when stacked with a monolayer of tungsten diselenide, creates a ultraclean "heterostructure" interface with unique and unexpected photonic and magnetic properties.
"Heterostructures hold the greatest promise of realizing new applications in computing, database storage, communications and other applications we cannot even fathom yet," said Xu.
Xu and his team would next like to investigate the magnetic properties unique to 2-D magnets and heterostructures that contain a CrI3 monolayer or bilayer.

5 Pro Tools Features I Never Take for Granted
By Ian Vargo
Below is a list of five Pro Tools features that I never take for granted because they didn't even exist when I started engineering.
1. Higher Track Counts
My very first Pro Tools rig consisted of an M-Audio Project Mix and Pro Tools M-Powered. At the time I could run a maximum of 32 tracks, and even then, the system was prone to strange errors, crashes, and general instability.
To put that in perspective, I've worked on mixes that have more than 32 tracks of drums and percussion. Users of Digidesign Pro Tools LE (another lower budget version of PT) were required to pay for "Toolkit" upgrades for higher track counts.
Every once in awhile I'll work on a production that pushes the limits of my system and requires that I layback or bounce stems, but overall, I rarely have to worry about track counts anymore.
2. The Ability to Bounce an MP3
I recall on many occasions (in my college years) needing to export a .WAV from Pro Tools, importing that .WAV into iTunes and exporting an MP3.
Again, this was a feature that Pro Tools LE users could access only by purchasing a costly toolkit upgrade.
Since most clients demand an .MP3 and it's more convenient for file sharing, it's hard to remember how I got by without this function.
3. Clip Gain
This was a huge development when it was announced, and I honestly don't know how I ever lived without it.
The ability to smooth out the dynamics of a performance before it hits compression or EQ has greatly improved my mixes.
To me, it's especially handy on vocals not only for dynamics but also taming esses.
4. Opening an OMF File
OMF or Open Media Framework files are often what video editors use to send the time code-locked audio to the post-production mixer.
Not long ago, the base level Pro Tools systems didn't support Time Code (without the DV Toolkit upgrade) so you'd need access to an HD system to open or "crack" an OMF file.
Since a good percentage of my work is sound design and music for film, the ability to access an OMF quickly is essential.
5. A "Send to Track" Pull-Down Menu Option
Not too long ago the only way to send an audio track through an auxiliary was by creating that aux track, then either sending from the audio track via sends (for a soft send), or the track's output (for a hard send) through a bus, and then assigning the input of the aux track to the very same bus.
Now it's a few simple clicks/keyboard moves thanks to "send to new track option." This is a huge time-saver and I am quite thankful for it.
It's a good time to be a DAW-based engineer — certainly better than when I started.
It seems like Avid is making steps to improve Pro Tools with each upgrade, not to mention the quality of plugins continues to improve each and every year, making the process much more enjoyable.
If you have any suggestions for functions or desired shortcuts, I'd love to hear them.

The use of nuclear power is debatable, with some proposing it for the amount of energy produced, while some dead against it because of its potential threat to environment and human life. The advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy provided by ScienceStruck will help you form an opinion about the same.
In Oklo, Gabon (continent of Africa), self-sustaining nuclear chain reactions occurred approximately 1.7 billion years ago. Here, a natural nuclear reactor was formed due to deposits of uranium and presence of groundwater.
The energy released is the result of the differences in total mass of the participating elements, before and after the reaction. The process is a chain reaction, and energy is released until the atom becomes stable.
Contribution of many scientists helped in the discovery of nuclear energy. Nuclear reactors are the devices that initiate and control nuclear chain reactions. They generate nuclear power.
Currently, the fission process is prominently carried out in most of the nuclear reactors to generate energy. Uranium (U-235) is used as a fuel for nuclear reactors because it is fissile (can undergo induced fission chain reaction). Fission reaction generates heat that boils water and produces steam. The pressurized steam causes the steam turbines to move, resulting in the production of electricity.
Nuclear reactions release a million times more energy, as compared to hydro or wind energy. Hence, a large amount of electricity can be generated. Presently, approximately 10-15% of the world's electricity is generated through nuclear energy. Did you know that one kilogram of uranium-235 approximately produces as much energy as 1,500 tons (1,500,000 kilograms) of coal?
The biggest advantage of this energy is that greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, chlorofluorocarbon) are not released during a nuclear reaction. Greenhouse gases are a major threat in the current scenario, as they cause global warming and climate change. As there is no emission of these gases during nuclear reaction, there is very little effect on the environment.
The burning of fossil fuels leads to production of carbon dioxide and smoke. It is a menace to the environment as well as human life. Production of nuclear energy does not emit smoke, hence, there is no direct air pollution. However, disposal of radioactive waste is a major issue today.
Nuclear reactors make use of uranium as fuel. Fission reaction of a small amount of uranium generates a large amount of energy. Currently, the reserves of uranium found on the Earth are expected to last for another 100 years. Secondly, using this energy can make many nations energy independent, and not dependent on those unearthing fossil fuels.
Without human errors, accidents, or natural calamities, the nuclear reactors work very well and can go on for a long time. Secondly, once constructed, the plant requires very few people to operate it.
Accidental release of harmful radiation is one of the biggest drawbacks of nuclear energy. The fission process releases radiation, but, is controlled in a nuclear reactor. Now, if these safety measures fail, the radiation may come in contact with the environment, resulting in severe damage to the ecosystem and loss of life.
Although they produce large amount of energy, nuclear reactors depend on uranium, which is an exhaustible fuel. Its extinction can again cause a grave problem. Once exhausted, the reactors will be of no use, will have to be shutdown, but will remain occupying large area of land, and contaminating the environment.
This energy can be used for production and proliferation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons make use of fission, fusion, or combination of both reactions for destructive purposes. They are a major threat to the world as they can cause a large-scale devastation. Their effects can be observed for many generations (e.g., atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
Though large amount of energy can be produced from a nuclear power plant, it requires large capital cost. Around 10-15 years are required to develop a single plant. It is not very feasible to build a nuclear power plant. Secondly, one cannot ignore the fact that the nuclear reactors will work as long as uranium is available.
The waste produced after fission reactions contains unstable elements, and is highly radioactive. It is very dangerous to the environment as well as human health, and remains so for hundreds of years. It needs professional handling and should be kept isolated from the living environment. The radioactivity of these elements reduces over a period, after decaying. Hence, they have to be carefully stored and disposed. It is very difficult to store radioactive elements for a long period.
There have been two most disastrous nuclear power plant accidents to date: the Chernobyl disaster that occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (1986) in Ukraine, and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011) in Japan. Large amount of radiation was released in the environment after these incidents, leading to fatalities, damage of nature, and land. One cannot deny the possibility of repetition of such disasters in future.
Transport of uranium fuel and the radioactive waste is very difficult. Uranium emits some amount of radiation, and hence, needs to be handled with care. Secondly, the nuclear waste produced is more hazardous and needs extra protection. All transportation means should follow the international safety standards. Although no accidents or spills are reported as of now, the transportation process is still challenging.
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, there is an ongoing debate about the use of nuclear energy. There are proponents and opponents of it. Knowing the pros and cons in detail will help know more about the debate and the issues involved. However, only the future will make it clear whether nuclear energy is a boon or a bane!

Q: How to get argument in action filter when the controller action has no corresponding argument? I am working on an ASP.NET Core 6 based web application. To avoid writing a lot of redundant code in my controllers, I implemented a class BaseController which all of my controllers inherit from. In that class, I overrided the OnActionExecutionAsync method to run the code which would otherwise be redundant in every controller. In this code, I need to access two arguments which I would otherwise have to pass to each controller action via its arguments like this:
public async Task<ActionResult> ExampleAction([FromQuery(Name = "argument1")] Guid? argument1, [FromQuery(Name = "argument2")] Guid? argument2)
As long as I keep those arguments in every action, I can easily access them in the OnActionExecutionAsync method. However, I do not want to do it like this because it would require me to add the arguments to every single controller action while I do not even need them there. Now I have the problem that when I remove the arguments from the controller action, I can no longer access them via context.ActionArguments in the OnActionExecutionAsync method.
Is there any way how I can still access the arguments in this situation? I already found this question on SO which is very similar but the suggested solution to use actionContext.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values["tenant"] does not work in my case. There simply is no ControllerContext in ASP.NET Core 6 and context.RouteData.Values does not seem to contain the arguments I am looking for.

A: You can access the query-string values using HttpContext.Request.Query. Here's an example:
var tenantValues = context.HttpContext.Request.Query["tenant"];

The type of tenantValues here is StringValues, which represents one or more values. If you know there's only going to be one value provided, you can treat it as a collection and use [0] or First(), for example, or just case it as string.

A: You can use HttpContext property of ActionContext (which is ancestor of ActionExecutingContext) to access request query string values:
public override Task OnActionExecutionAsync(ActionExecutingContext actionContext, ActionExecutionDelegate next)
{
    StringValues values = actionContext.HttpContext.Request.Query["tenant"];
}

Security, do I need to consider it as a consultant?
Devoxx is over and it was overall a good edition.
A lot of talks about AI and Kotlin, but this year I focussed myself on security.
In all the projects I've done you start from an archetype where the security is already done, with Single Sign On, or you work on an existing project, where all the security work is already done.
As I was watching some talks, some things lingered and actually did change my mind about some coding styles.
The talk I loved the most was the talk of Blue Team Security Actual Security work for Actual Developers by Siren Hofvander.
Not because she is a woman, or she invites us to Sweden for free beer, pizza and tea, but for giving a simple comprehensive talk with some humour in it.
I do check a lot of null's but do we check our input more than that?
Who checks for exotic characters if you are sure they will never be inserted?
Who checks for escaped characters like new line, tab space, … or html codes?
Well, I can say, I don't do that yet.
But when we do check it, about 98% of hackings could be avoided.
Yes that much, and what time does it costs us?
A lot of time to change the whole backend to a nice input validated model.
But we can write a utility class for the most common scenarios.
It takes some extra time, but we have a base and, more important, it's easy to use.
So the next step is to add this to our backend.
You don't need to do all at once.
add your checks to it.
That way you will rebuild your model over time, making a solid wall brick by brick, and more important, you can combine the boring work with real fun work, making it not so hard.
I know I'll google some example classes for this so I can make a decent Utility class.
I hope you do too and I invite every reader to comment below with sharing locations of potential Utility classes.
Just because sharing is caring.


By an integer constant, whose names typically end with _FIELD. The constants are defined in the various subclasses of Format.
By a Format.Field constant, see ERA_FIELD and its friends in DateFormat for an example.
FieldPosition keeps track of the position of the field within the formatted output with two indices: the index of the first character of the field and the index of the last character of the field.
One version of the format method in the various Format classes requires a FieldPosition object as an argument. You use this format method to perform partial formatting or to get information about the formatted output (such as the position of a field).
If you are interested in the positions of all attributes in the formatted string use the Format method formatToCharacterIterator.
Creates a FieldPosition object for the given field.
Creates a FieldPosition object for the given field constant.
Retrieves the index of the first character in the requested field.
Retrieves the index of the character following the last character in the requested field.
Returns the field identifier as an attribute constant from one of the Field subclasses.
Returns a hash code for this FieldPosition.
Return a string representation of this FieldPosition.
Creates a FieldPosition object for the given field. Fields are identified by constants, whose names typically end with _FIELD, in the various subclasses of Format.
Creates a FieldPosition object for the given field constant. Fields are identified by constants defined in the various Format subclasses. This is equivalent to calling new FieldPosition(attribute, -1).
Creates a FieldPosition object for the given field. The field is identified by an attribute constant from one of the Field subclasses as well as an integer field ID defined by the Format subclasses. Format subclasses that are aware of Field should give precedence to attribute and ignore fieldID if attribute is not null. However, older Format subclasses may not be aware of Field and rely on fieldID. If the field has no corresponding integer constant, fieldID should be -1.
Returns the field identifier as an attribute constant from one of the Field subclasses. May return null if the field is specified only by an integer field ID.
Sets the begin index. For use by subclasses of Format.
Sets the end index. For use by subclasses of Format.

Sundar Pichai Appointed Google CEO As Google Becomes Division Of Alphabet Inc.
by admin	 August 10, 2015 0 Comment
In a totally unexpected development this afternoon, Google announced that it had formed a new holding company, Alphabet, Inc., and that Google would be a wholly owned subsidiary of that entity. In addition, Google co-founders Page and Brin will become CEO and President of the new company, respectively, turning over daily control of Google to Sundar Pichai, who will become the new CEO.
As explained in a companion post at Marketing Land, Alphabet Inc., will consist of the following entities:
Fiber (internet access)
Google (Search, Maps, YouTube, Android, Ads, Apps)
Google Ventures (VC investing)
Google Capital (investment fund)
Google X (auto-driving cars, Google Glass, internet by balloon, moonshots)
Life Sciences (the glucose sensing contact lens people)
Nest (smoke alarms, home camera, thermostats and connected home devices)
There's a good deal of head-scratching going on right now around the internet. However, this appears to be an effort by Page and Brin to remove themselves from daily Google operations and focus on a wider range of projects at a higher level. Page said this will allow him and Brin to get "more ambitious things done" and "take the long term view."
Page further argues that a "slightly slimmed down Google" will have greater focus under Pichai. That may well be. Page and Brin now become insulated to a degree from the relentless revenue-growth expectations and pressures of Wall Street, which fall to Pichai and his deputies — although Alphabet, not Google, will be the publicly traded entity.
It will be interesting to see how other executives at Google handle the transition and how the Google rank and file react. The market doesn't quite know how to react, it seems. The stock is mostly unmoved in after-hours trading.
As a practical matter, the new organization will have little or no impact whatsoever on search marketers or search marketing.
Postscript: Based on upbeat Wall Street analyst notes that came out today, Google stock is now up after hours.

Superbowl Spotlight Bad Timing for SF Police
February 8, 2016 By Chris Reed 2 Comments
The global spotlight on the Bay Area created by Super Bowl 50 couldn't have come at a worse time for the San Francisco Police Department. The fatal December shooting of Mario Woods, a young African American stabbing suspect who was shot by five officers as he walked away from them, continues to trigger increasingly regular protests.
Now the U.S. Justice Department has concluded that there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing that it is going to review SFPD and its history. Yahoo News has details:
"We will examine the San Francisco Police Department's current operational policies, training practices and accountability systems, and help identify key areas for improvement going forward," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement.
At the conclusion of the review, the Justice Department will give San Francisco police a list of best practices it can follow to ensure fairness in its interactions with citizens.
San Francisco police will then report back to the Justice Department on a periodic basis to show it is following the practices, a Justice Department official said.
The ACLU of Northern California and African American activists welcomed the announcement.
Officers asked to pledge not to be racists
Meanwhile, San Francisco police are also being called out, in essence, by their chief, who is asking them to pledge to not act like racists, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
"People that would use racial epithets, slurs and things like that clearly fall below the minimum standard of being a police officer," Police Chief Greg Suhr [said]. "A cop needs to show character and point that out."
Suhr noted that a website — notonmywatchsfpd.org — had been launched to emphasize what he expects out of his officers. This is from its "About" description:
SFPD created the Not On My Watch initiative … in an effort to improve relationships between police officers and the diverse communities they serve.
"This first-of-its-kind pledge is about recognizing that we need to guard against our own implicit biases," said SFPD Chief Greg Suhr, "and to call out anyone who is intolerant or bigoted."
Since 2011, SFPD policy has prohibited biased policing. The inspiration for the Not On My Watch project came from SFPD Sergeant Yulanda Williams, president of Officers for Justice. "It tells everyone that I am going to treat them with dignity and respect," said Sgt. Williams. "And at the same time, we're encouraging them to trust us, respect us and allow us to help them by delivering the type of police service that makes for viable, stable communities."
Selling police chief as idealist may prove difficult
This initiative may play well in San Francisco and nationallly, but Suhr's critics will question his sincerity and idealism. He's had to deal with two rounds of harsh news coverage since last summer.
The city had to spend nearly $1.5 million to defend him from a whistleblower's lawsuit with embarrassing allegations andpersuasive evidence that Suhr mishandled a domestic violence case to help a friend.
He's also accused of giving special breaks to a family friend in his attempt to secure a job as a San Francisco officer.

(R)-Deprenyl, the archetypical monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor, has been shown to increase life-span in a number of species. Although many theories for this effect have been suggested, for example, an increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, the mechanism of action has yet to be elucidated. To investigate this phenomenon, we have examined the effects of (R)-deprenyl, and some aliphatic propargylamines, in an experimental aging model in Drosophila melanogaster. Both wild-type Oregon-R type flies, as well as a SOD knock-out mutant strain were used. Flies obtained from a series of paired mates were divided equally among treatment groups. In all studies, flies were treated for the duration of life following adult emergence. The aging model consists of substitution of sucrose with galactose in the regular food media of the flies. Initial experiments confirmed that such a substitution resulted in a significant (p < 0.01, Breslow test) reduction in mean and maximal life-span of flies, an effect not due to nutrient deprivation. Inclusion of (R)-deprenyl and the aliphatic propargylamines in the media, at average daily doses in the range 0.5-1 ng/fly/day, led to a significant increase in mean and maximal life-span of galactose-treated, but not control flies. This effect was seen in both wild-type and mutant flies.


The Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR) and Hoa Binh Construction and Real Estate Corporation (Hoa Binh) broke ground for the control building and other components of Metro Line No. 2 in the city.
Hoa Binh is the main contractor for the architectural structure, mechanical and electrical facilities and technical infrastructure of the project's first package. This package comprises an eight-floor control building worth $8.1 million and auxiliary works at Tham Luong Station and will be implemented within one and a half years.
The building will be used for operation and management of the city's second mass rapid transit rail line and help MAUR and consultants set up and install equipment for the metro project.
Work on Tham Luong Station finally got off the ground after six years of fence erection and site clearance.
As initially planned, the track would be completed in 2017 and put into test-run in the following year. However, it has been rescheduled to 2019 for competition and 2020 for operation due to slow site clearance.
The 20-kilometer Metro Line No. 2 connects Thu Thiem New Urban Area in District 2 and Tay Ninh Coach Station. In the first phase, the city will develop an 11-km section running from Ben Thanh Market in the downtown area to Tham Luong Depot in District 12, including a 9.3-kilometer underground track section along Cach Mang Thang Tam Street.
The project was originally estimated to cost $1.37 billion, but the city told the Ministry of Transport that the cost should be revised up to $2.1 billion due to inflation and design change.


The burnished white of the Raku Georgette tiles is blushed with areas of delicate pink, pale greys and silver, to create an antiqued appearance. The crackles and crazing throughout the tiles are highlighted by a grey glaze, and allude to the crinkles of the fabric from which the Raku Georgette takes its name. Handmade using traditional Japanese techniques, the tiles have a glossy finish to help highlight and bounce light around a room. Perfect for a charming, subtle splashback, with beautiful detail.

CHUCK NORRIS: The Pandemic Is Affecting Us on a Level We Haven't Yet Come to Terms With
A couple of weeks ago, I reported on the findings of a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll showing that nearly 9 in 10 of 1,000 registered voters surveyed believe that our nation is in the thick of a mental health crisis. Now, a new poll released by the analytics and advisory company Gallup shows Americans' fears about COVID-19 are mounting once again with a steep rise in the percentage of Americans who said the pandemic is "getting worse," as compared with fall 2021.
While Megan Brenan, the lead author of the report, told USA TODAY that she'd "never seen" anything close to the level of political polarization shown in the recent data, she is waiting to see if Americans will "look over their shoulder" in fear of the next possible variant or whether they'll "let themselves feel more optimistic." The poll sampling of 1,569 U.S. adults was conducted online Jan. 3 through Jan. 14.
The bell has been rung throughout the past two years of the growing domino effect of a pandemic that has taken millions of American lives and, as reported by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, infected more than 35 million Americans. The results of stress and a constant sense of uncertainty and isolation have become commonplace experiences of the pandemic. While mental health suffers, the semantics of what health care professionals call the toll is up for debate. Does what people are now experiencing qualify as "trauma"?
The question was recently posed to a group of top mental health professionals by NPR's Mary Louise Kelly. "Viewing the world as unsafe is often a symptom of trauma," she reasoned. "The past two years have felt traumatic," yet people are "conflicted" calling it such.
"I have no difficulty calling (it) a trauma," responds Roxane Cohen Silver, a professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine who has been studying collective trauma since the 1980s.
"We absolutely are experiencing a mental health tsunami," says Dr. Arthur Evans, CEO of the American Psychological Association. "And we expect that it will grow even more next year, so we haven't even crested this tsunami yet … I think for a lot of people, the idea of having a mental health challenge is 'there's something wrong with me.' And I think what the idea of trauma helps people to understand is that, no, this is something that is happening to me, and how I'm responding is a natural response."
Tamar Rodney is an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing who specializes in post-traumatic stress disorder. She explains to listeners that "right now, especially as the pandemic drags on, we need to be paying attention to the warning signs — irritability, trouble sleeping, drinking more than usual, fatigue, loss of joy." These are signs she is already seeing in some patients. Even if it "didn't hit clinical significance," it does not mean that mental health professionals should not be paying attention to it. "Address the symptoms as they come," she adds. "We do not need to get to full-blown depression or anxiety or PTSD before we deal with it."
Bessel van der Kolk is a psychiatrist, neurologist and author of the bestselling book "The Body Keeps The Score," which explores the brain and the healing of trauma. He says that the pandemic is "deeply affecting all of us on a very important level."
"What do we miss? We miss understanding what the future will bring to us. A very important part of mental functioning … what I'm encouraging us to do — to really identify what is making us all feel like we're barely hanging on. Maybe the threat of COVID, maybe the isolation, not being able to feel safe with other people … But a very core issue of recovery or dealing with trauma is moving together, dancing together, some sort of rhythmical engagement (with) the people around you."
In the roll call of preexisting conditions worsened by the pandemic environment in which we all now live, obsessive-compulsive disorder rarely gets a mention. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 2.3% of American adults have OCD.
Says Time magazine's Jeffrey Kluger, OCD is caused principally by excessive activity in an area of the brain that processes fear, danger and the fight-or-flight response. "It can manifest as compulsive, repetitive behaviors; an anxiety about getting ill or spreading germs; or an excessive sense of responsibility, and an intense fear of causing risk to others." OCD has been called a disorder of doubt, and a global pandemic is a perfect breeding ground for it. "Even people without an official diagnosis are affected," says Kluger.
A 2008 study published in the journal Nature found that 25% of Americans will exhibit at least some obsessive-compulsive behavior at some point in their lives. "The pandemic has made life much worse for people with OCD symptoms. New research shows that OCD symptoms have gotten more severe for many people during the pandemic, and new diagnoses have increased," he writes.
Andrew Guzick, a clinical psychologist at the Baylor College of Medicine, states, "OCD thrives on intolerance of uncertainty … it is no surprise that it has been a difficult time for people struggling with the disorder." A June 2021 study in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders shows that 72% of people with OCD had worse symptoms since the onset of the pandemic.
Kluger believes it is also important that we recognize that people without OCD respond to pandemic-era guidelines very differently than people with the disorder. "Washing your hands once for 20 seconds after entering the house may have become common practice for most people in the age of COVID-19; washing your hands multiple times for 20 minutes at a time is too often the response of people with OCD. It's that kind of overreaction that clinicians are worried is becoming too prevalent."

The Civic Trust Awards also delivers an Awards scheme in recognition of architect and founding figure of universal design, Selwyn Goldsmith.
Established in 2011, the Selwyn Goldsmith Awards for Universal Design is delivered in parallel with the Civic Trust Awards application process, all CTA entries are automatically considered for the Selwyn Goldsmith Award. The winner will be selected by a specially convened panel of universal design experts with the announcement made at the Awards Ceremony in March each year. Universal Design is about ensuring that places work for all people, no matter your age, ethnicity, gender or ability. An environment or building that is responsive, flexible, welcoming, easy to use and occupy; allowing all to use with dignity and equality. The Selwyn Goldsmith Awards (SGA) seek to promote and applaud those schemes which achieve this and exceed regulation. To be considered for the SGA's your project should have gone beyond the building regulations, as a minimum using best practice guidance, putting people at the heart of the project and showing exemplar design.
Mr Goldsmith wrote the groundbreaking manual Designing for the disabled, published in 1963, which became the indispensable access guide for built-environment professionals. Following interviews with wheelchair users for the 1967 edition of the book, Mr Goldsmith designed dropped kerbs which have since become a feature in public-realm environments around the world. The third edition of Designing for the disabled was used to inform the guidance documentation accompanying Part M of the Building Regulations in 1992.
In the 1970s, while working for the Department of the Environment, he produced accessible housing reports which were widely accepted as standards for public sector housing. In the 1980s Mr Goldsmith began surveying toileting provision to find out why women so frequently had to queue for toilets in public places, while men did not. His surveys suggested a great disparity in male and female toileting provision.
Mr Goldsmith's book Universal design, published in 2000, outlined his shift in thinking from 'designing for disabled people' to 'universal design', which focuses on making buildings safe and convenient for use by everybody, including disabled people.
Selwyn Goldsmith sadly passed away on 3rd April 2011 aged 78 and in 2017, we were deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and long standing supporter Becky Goldsmith, who sadly passed away following an incredibly brave and spirited fight with illness. No words can express the level of commitment and dedication that Becky exhibited in championing the legacy of her late husband Selwyn. For those of you who have attended any of our Awards ceremonies over the last 6-7 years, we are sure you will remember Becky's enthusiasm for the principles of Universal Design. She will be sadly missed. We thank the Goldsmith family, sons David and Ben, grandchildren Harry, Eloise and Sammy, brother Roger and sister Jane for their continued support of the Civic Trust Awards and Selwyn Goldsmith Awards for Universal Design.

Shearman & Sterling Expands Global Litigation Capabilities with Addition of Alessandro Salvador in Italy
Shearman & Sterling has expanded its global litigation capabilities with the addition in Italy of leading litigator Alessandro Salvador and his team. Salvador will join the firm's Milan office as Counsel.
Salvador comes to the firm from Lombardi Molinari Segni, one of the leading Italian litigation firms in Milan, where he has practiced for over 13 years. His litigation experience in Italy is diverse and includes work on banking and financial services matters, securities litigation, M&A litigation, insurance, real estate and other commercial matters. Notably, Salvador also has experience with investigations focused on banking and financial entities in connection with white-collar and sanctions issues involving Italian regulatory authorities. Salvador has represented Italian and foreign companies and individuals before courts and arbitration panels, as well as in cross-border litigation, on matters dealing with company law, business law, financial and banking law, insurance law, real estate law, insolvency and regulatory enforcement.
"We are excited that Alessandro and his team have decided to join our firm," said Domenico Fanuele, managing partner of Shearman & Sterling's Italian offices. "The firm has an outstanding global litigation practice that we intend to expand to Italy through a group of talented and dynamic lawyers. Alessandro's and his team's deep and broad experience will offer our financial institution and corporate clients support in a critical jurisdiction such as Italy, working as an integral part of our Litigation group while at the same time completing the offering of our Italian practice."
Added Adam Hakki, Shearman & Sterling's global litigation head, "We are delighted to be expanding our practice in Italy, which is an increasingly important region for our clients, and reflects our commitment to providing the highest level of litigation and investigations capability throughout the world. Alessandro's background and skills are an ideal fit for our team and our clients."
Salvador is an Italian-qualified lawyer and holds a Ph.D. in Banking and Financial Law from the University of Siena, following his graduation from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 2000 and a term spent in 2004 as academic visitor at the Faculty of Law, Oxford University. Salvador will be joined by senior associate Bruno Visentini and by trainee Silvia Adani, both his colleagues at Lombardi Molinari Segni.
"I am thrilled about this opportunity," Salvador said. "To start and develop the Italian litigation practice at Shearman & Sterling will be a fantastic task. I am convinced that the ability to offer qualified and sophisticated assistance for litigation is a key strategic aspect of Shearman & Sterling's presence in Italy, even more nowadays where commercial, corporate and financial disputes have significantly increased due to the spreading of the financial and economic crisis throughout Europe and other markets."
"Furthermore, in my opinion," he added, "the biggest asset of an international law firm based in Italy is to be perceived as a high-quality Italian law firm but, at the same time, to be able to offer all the benefits of a primary international law firm. My team is strongly committed to realizing this goal for the newly born litigation practice here in Italy."

Luce Movie Review
The topics of race relations and the relationships between parents and teenagers is often complicated.
In the new movie, Luce, (based on the play of the same name) Luce Edgar (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is the perfect teenager. He is a star athlete, an A student, respectful, humble and hardworking. Born in the African country of Eritrea, Luce was adopted by Amy and Peter Edgar (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth), a middle class Caucasian couple.
Everything seems hunky dory until Amy is called by Luce's history teacher, Harriet Wilson (Octavia Spencer). One of his papers has caught Miss Wilson's eye and not for the right reasons. This paper opens the door to suspicion, questions about trust and who these characters really are.
Having never seen the play, I can only judge the narrative by the film.
The word I would use to describe this film is disappointing. There is so much potential in this film and yet it is wasted. The subjects spoken of in this film are so powerful and timely. Instead of using these subjects as a subtle teaching moment, the drama and the tension in the narrative is wasted. As is the the on screen talent.
As the film came to a close, the narrative threads did not come together. I don't know if this was done on purpose or just laziness on the part of the screenwriters. If it was done intentionally, it was not done well. It was as if the individual parts of the narrative worked together on their own, but never quite gelled as they could have.
Do I recommend it? Not really.
Luce is presently in theaters.

Robin Williams: Five Years Later and it Still Hurts
Mental health, like any disease does not discriminate between rich and poor, black and white, celebrity and non-celebrity.
Five years ago today, mental health took the life of one of our most beloved performers: Robin Williams.
He was more than a comic who could do impressions. He could play drama, he could play comedy and everything in between. Underneath all of his performances was a huge heart that was evident to anyone in the audience.
This past week, his eldest son, Zak, spoke to CNN about his father.
When it comes to those who are no longer with us because of suicide, there are always questions that start with what if. While the question is certainly valid, at a certain point, we need to ask other questions. I firmly believe that we need to not only accept mental health issues as a valid disease, but treat it as a valid disease.
When confronting a problem, the first and hardest step is to ask for help. The issue with mental health is that many are afraid to ask for help because of the backlash they may receive.
Mental health and the diseases that fall under the categories of mental illness are real. The sooner we accept that, stop stigmatizing mental illness and open the doors to treatment, the better our country and our world will be.

Deescalation Wanted: How Trump Can Steer Clear of a War
Read more about Deescalation Wanted: How Trump Can Steer Clear of a War
The United States and Iran have engaged in a constant raising of the stakes as a means of securing leverage ahead of possible nuclear negotiations. This is a classic bargaining pattern but in the current context, such an approach is particularly risky due to the potential for misperceptions. The complexities of domestic and regional dynamics are also a factor. In such a situation, absent clear understanding of the other's motivations and tactics, raising the stakes—rather than securing leverage for effective negotiations—could steer the United States and Iran towards a path toward war.

China's Calculus After the INF Treaty
WU Riqiang
Read more about China's Calculus After the INF Treaty
It seems that the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty is coming to an end. The Treaty prohibits the United States and Russia from possessing, producing or testing land-based ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of 500–5500 kilometres, including both conventional and nuclear-armed missiles. On 1 February 2019, US President Trump said that he would suspend obligations under the INF Treaty and initiate the withdrawal procedure. After withdrawing, the United States might deploy conventional and nuclear missiles to the West Pacific against China. How would the potential deployment of each missile type impact China's security?

Can Iran Weather the Trump Storm?
Read more about Can Iran Weather the Trump Storm?
In the past 10 years, oil exports have averaged about $67 billion in Iran. Last year, they dropped by two-thirds, and they are expected to drop below $30 billion this year. There are reasons to believe that, with appropriate policies, the country can live with this level of oil exports, albeit at a reduced standard of living, and even do itself some good in the long run by reducing its dependence on oil.
Iran has been there before. In 2012, when President Obama ratcheted up U.S. sanctions against Iran, oil exports dropped by 27.5 percent, and GDP fell by 6.2 percent. In 2015, sanctions and the collapse of oil prices further reduced oil exports to $32 billion, a decade-long low, and GDP declined by 1.6 percent. If Iran's leadership is to successfully resist U.S. demands, it must do more than find ways to evade sanctions. A lot depends on its ability to adopt a plan that reduces the economy's dependence on oil, while distributing the burden of restructuring equitably across social groups.

Senator Richard G. Lugar: An Appreciation
Read more about Senator Richard G. Lugar: An Appreciation
Sen. Richard Lugar—with his legislative partner, Sen. Sam Nunn—imagined the unimaginable. He championed a program to provide assistance to military forces in the former Soviet republics holding tens of thousands of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons aimed at the United States and our allies, shortly after America's existential enemy, the Soviet Union, expired. All told, the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction program provided more than $14 billion to, among other things, deactivate 13,300 nuclear warheads, eliminate 1,473 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and destroy almost 40,000 metric tons of chemical agents. The US departments of Defense and Energy also worked with Russia to improve security at 148 sites still holding nuclear weapons or weapons-grade material from Murmansk to Kamchatka.

Addressing the Nuclear Ban Treaty
Rebecca Davis Gibbons
Read more about Addressing the Nuclear Ban Treaty
The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), a bedrock of international security, had the 50-year anniversary of its signing in 2018. While the existence of the treaty has not been able to prevent a handful of states from seeking nuclear weapons, for half a century the NPT has promoted norms of nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. Only nine states possess nuclear weapons today, far below the number predicted early in the nuclear age. Nonetheless, a second nuclear treaty, adopted in 2017, represents a significant and growing crack in the foundation of the NPT and suggests that relations among its members need to change if the treaty is going to survive another 50 years.

Foreign policy pundits have bemoaned the unraveling of the post-World War II international order in recent years, describing threats to the multilateralism and liberalism enshrined in postwar institutions. An often overlooked component of that structure is the global nuclear order, which, like other parts of the postwar system, was created for magnanimous and selfish aims: reducing the dangers of nuclear weapons for all and serving the interests of the world's most powerful states.
