Kel On The Road
Packing and Gear
2015 is coming to a close and here I am still in Japan. It's been over a year now since I last saw my friends and family in the US and I've been spending a lot of time lately asking myself what makes a place feel like home. I don't know the answer to this question, by the way, in case you were thinking I'd be expressing that here.
Is it possible to fall in love with a place you hate? I feel that's the only way to describe how I feel about Tokyo. Because it's been a hard time these past few months trying to turn Tokyo into that resting place to put up my tired feet. But it just hasn't worked. I'm not sure yet what the next year will bring but it will likely involve moving again. To someplace.
I've come to realize just how much of a struggle it is for a foreigner to settle down and build a long-term life in Tokyo. To be honest, this isn't the most foreigner-friendly country to move into and I've relied heavily on other people's kindness as I went through my own ups and downs in the past month. Many things are still unresolved but I guess it's about time I give an update to what's been happening so far.
One month in Japan - part touring around the country, part trying to make it my home. I'm taking a quick break in Bangkok at the moment but will return to Tokyo shortly.
Yup, this is going to be another installment in my ongoing series, Disgusting Bug Bites from Around the World. This time coming out of Bangkok. But first, I had such a beautiful day of sightseeing, I thought I'd share a few photos from the outing.

Tour review post:
Being both a budget traveler and someone who abhors committing to structured itineraries, I tend to avoid organized tours wherever I go. But I do love to take advantage of a good food tour on offer, especially in a city like Bangkok.
Alas, it appears my Indian visa came with one of those wretched expiration dates. I've now come up to my very last day in this country and it's with a teeny bit of sadness that I prepare for my flight from Mumbai to Bangkok tomorrow morning.
Alright, let's face it. We Asian travelers have a branding problem. To our own detriment, we've succeeded in gaining a reputation as camera-touting, mass-market tourists who do little to learn the customs and language of the places we land in. To illustrate, let me refer to one conversation, more memorable than most, which I had with one Caucasian traveler.
He was recounting his various escapades from around the world and brought up the Camino de Santiago, a famous pilgrimage trek in Spain. I had never heard of this trek before and was intrigued already.
"But don't bother going there," he said. "The Koreans found out about this place a few years ago and it's not worth it anymore."
You could say it was a bit awkward for me to hear this seeing as how I am a Korean-American. Still, I knew what he meant. Another otherwise pristine travel destination had been spoiled by the onset of Asian tourists like a swarm of locusts on a crop. It's sad but this is the perception I have to contend with when on the road.
One of the uglier aspects of travel for any minority is that you'll face racism in brand new forms you may not be familiar with from your home country. Call it another way to learn about the local culture. And expect to be treated differently in each place you visit as the social ranking your ethnicity affords you moves up or down. To be frank, it's a problem Caucasians are often exempt from facing, as the world seems to have unanimously voted them the coolest kind of traveler to be. Congratulations to them.
So if you're an Asian traveler, here are my tips for dealing with discrimination abroad.
1. Absolutely do not take it personally
It's so easy for us to blame ourselves when an interaction with a local or fellow traveler doesn't go well. Maybe we said something offensive. Maybe we came off as too boring or pushy or bitchy. The cycle of self-doubt is endless.
But if you find yourself here, turn down the volume on that noise in your head. Reflect on the possibility there were factors at play that have nothing to do with your personality. Not everyone you'll meet will have had the privilege to grow up in a cosmopolitan and ethnically diverse environment and their actions will speak to that reality.
2. Let the small stuff go
Get used to hearing quotes like the following:
- Touts calling out both "Nihao" and "Konichiwa" as you walk down the street like a construction worker looking for the right catcall to make you turn your head.
- "I think you look like Chinese. No? Japanese! No? Okay, Korean!"
- If you're an Asian-American and choose to tell people you're from the US like I do, getting a lot of incredulous looks accompanied by a line like "But your face look like China".
I know these little microaggressions tend to accumulate and fester like a bunch of parasites lodged right under the top layer of your skin. And it gets to a point where you just want to punch the next guy to tell you Nihao in the mouth.
But my advice is to let it go. People usually say these things because they're curious and want to know more about you. And one way for them to do that is to place you within the context of your heritage.
Look beyond their poor choice of icebreaker and move onto a more productive conversation. Do enlighten them by giving your ethnic history and making it clear China and Asia are not synonyms. But try to do it without that condescending tone I know you have sitting under your tongue.
3. Stand your ground on the big stuff
Sadly, I have heard some touts will go as low as targeting Asians specifically because they perceive Asians tend not to protest as much when cheated. In that same vein, I've heard some men target Asian women for sexual harassment.
If you see trouble coming, use your head and stand firm to protect yourself. It's always tough deciding when to make this call. But just remember, you'd much rather come off as rude early on than have to deal with the fallout from being preyed on.
4. Be more open-minded
The best advice I can give to avoid discrimination altogether is to be more open-minded everywhere you go. Be present, engaged, and genuinely interested in hearing other peoples' stories. Most of all, eat crazy food and smile often. Nothing can melt away the racial stereotypes of ignorant minds better than a bright personality.
5. If all else fails, just leave and come back later
I included this piece of advice because it happened to me once with surprising success.
If the relationship between you and the country you're in is going the way of a bad breakup, just go ahead and leave. See other places and come back in several years. You'll have matured as a traveler with a new set of eyes to see the world. And the people of that country should have slowly dragged themselves out of their own intolerance to some extent. With globalization, they pretty much have to. So if you can give it another try, you may do more than just salvage your impression of the country in that second visit.
I hope these tips are useful. As for the Camino de Santiago, my interest in this trek has not abated. It's in fact true the trail saw an influx of Asians beginning in 2007 due to factors such as the publication of a popular book from one Korean pilgrim. Beginning that year, not only did the demographics of the pilgrim population change, but overcrowded housing establishments along the trail suddenly became a big problem to contend with.
One day I'll walk this trail and and make the judgement for myself how much I like it. I guess I should thank that traveler for introducing me to the idea.

Salvation at last for Alex! The consulate website was updated this afternoon with the news that his visa renewal application is finally approved. He's now jumping for joy in a state of complete hysteria and has already started researching the earliest possible flights to get the hell out of India. He'll probably find himself back in the US sometime next week. I guess it was fun while it lasted (referring to myself here, not to Alex).
To catch up on the beginnings of Alex's visa woes, click here.
At the very least, we did have a very special time last weekend, the memories of which I'm sure Alex will carry with him the way a soldier will take home their PTSD.
A typical first day in India for the average foreigner will probably feel a lot like a punch in the face. If you're coming from the airport, your first lasting impression may come from the taxi ride to your accommodation. Your seemingly mad driver will dance his way around four each of other cars, bikes, trucks, and buffalo carts as if lanes don't exist. Because in India, they really don't exist. Yes, those are lane dividers you see painted on the street but they're about as visible to an Indian driver as air.
Eventually, every foreigner visiting India will find themselves completely exasperated with this country. You'll look around and think to yourself that you are truly standing in the middle of the most insane and quite inane civilization in the world. And you'll wonder what the hell you're still doing here.

Rare and unusual sounds
Most of the sounds presented on this website (recorded among short-finned pilot whales southwest of Tenerife, Canary Islands) which are apparantly produced by the whale's inner nasal passages such as clicks (...here...), whistles (...here...), calls (...here...) or grunts (...here...) have been recorded during all field seasons and ocurred regularly. These sounds -recorded during own research (...here...)- has been reported and confirmed by other researchers in other geographic areas. In this section very rare and uncategorized sounds are and will be posted in order to enable researchers in other areas to compare these with their findings.
Complex whistles
Click ...here... to hear several complex whistles (.mp3 file with 1.9 MB)
The sound sequence contains -next to calls- several complex whistles. This sequence is extracted from an underwater video recorded during an encounter with a single excited pilot whale.
Grunts
Click ...here... to hear several grunt-like vocalizations (.mp3 file with 1.1 MB)
The sound sequence contains -next to calls- several grunt-like vocalizations. This sequence is a compression of a longer track and grunts are composed of clicks produced in repetition with short inter-click intervals. The spectrogram shows 3 grunts.
'Gaggle'?
Click ...here... to hear several 'gaggles' (.mp3 file with 1.0 MB)
The sound sequence contains -next to calls and clicks- several 'gaggles' in row, the spectrogram shows 5 vocalizations of this type. The whole sequence was recorded during a single day, but 'gaggles' were also recorded 3 days later in the same field season. As shown by the spectrogram, these sounds are short in duration (less than 0,03 seconds) with several sidebands mostly below 5 kHz.

SAN FRANCISCO HERITAGE AND THOMPSON l DORFMAN PARTNERS REACH AN AGREEMENT ALLOWING 450 O'FARRELL PROJECT TO PROCEED
November 14th, 2018 No Comments »
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – San Francisco Heritage ("Heritage") and Mill Valley developer Thompson|Dorfman Partners, LLC announced that they have reached an agreement rescinding Heritage's appeal of the City's approval of the mixed-use project at the current site of the Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist located at 450 O'Farrell in the Tenderloin neighborhood.
"This is an important milestone for San Francisco and the Uptown Tenderloin Historic District," said San Francisco Heritage president Mike Buhler. "This agreement addresses our policy issue opposing 'facadism' and will help preserve other historic buildings within the Tenderloin Historic District. It clears the path for Thompson|Dorfman Partners and Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist to build much-needed housing and a new Church facility that will enable the congregation to extend its longstanding presence in, and mission of service to, the Tenderloin community."
"I want to congratulate our community stakeholders, resident leaders, and project sponsor for working collaboratively to develop a project which builds housing and serves the Tenderloin neighborhood." said District 6 Supervisor Jane Kim. "The project will build higher levels of affordable housing than required, urgently needed in the Tenderloin, and provide funding for preservation in this historic neighborhood."
The project will replace three existing buildings with 176-dwelling units, including 16 percent affordable, a new church facility and reading room, and ground-floor retail. Built in 1923, the church building is part of the Uptown Tenderloin National Register Historic District. Redevelopment of this site has been contemplated for over three decades.
The project, proposed in 2013, envisioned a completely new Church and housing project. The planning process guided the project sponsors to retain the original façade against the wishes of the Church. The subsequent four-year process resulted in the proposed saving of the façade.
Since 2017, Heritage has been promoting alternatives to demolition of the church building while opposing the design for the project, which incorporated the historic colonnade into the new building. Heritage contended that retaining the colonnade of 450 O'Farrell was inappropriate facadism and "a jarring pastiche of historical and new elements."
On September 13, at the request of Heritage and with consent of both Thompson|Dorfman Partners and the Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, the Planning Commission approved a revised design without the colonnade. Nonetheless, Heritage appealed the project approvals to the Board of Supervisors alleging that the City's approval failed to incorporate feasible mitigation measures to account for the project's significant adverse impact on the neighborhood by demolishing the historic church building.
The parties' comprehensive settlement provides for the dismissal of Heritage's appeals and will end their opposition to the project.
Members of the Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist stated that the process that led to a multi-year delay needs repair but are supportive of the design change which they see as an honest expression of their continued presence in the community.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement to allow this project to proceed. We will use this experience to initiate a dialogue with the San Francisco Interfaith Council and other communities of faith to explore creative options that respect their position in the community and their historical properties, while creating more housing opportunities in this supply-constrained area." said Buhler.
Bruce Dorfman of Thompson|Dorfman Partners stated "TDP has spent the past four years working with the City, neighbors, and other community groups, and we are all excited to get this project constructed. 450 O'Farrell will revitalize the area with a stunning new mixed-use building and will help with the very real housing crisis."
David Murray of Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, stated "This has been a long and difficult process … we look forward to our new church which will allow us to continue our mission of providing love and hope in the Tenderloin – a place we have called home for close to a century."

Victorian terraced house plans – The truth is that from this Victorian house, it has been very easy to choose the cover photo. The "L", fully collapsible, that separates the kitchen and living room with the outside. It is the main protagonist of the house. It is from these ideas that completely transform a space.

The principles of mathematics apply to every design of houses, but this victorian terraced house plans style goes one step further with several important. And then extensive additions like the garden. The geometric shape goes well with the back of the house, which means it serves more as an inseparable extension of it. Its edges are soft, emphasizing the malleability of zinc coating and light waves on its surface. The resulting look resembles that of tailored apparel, exposing a complex structure of the seams with pleats.

The default STS distribution is now based on the recently released Eclipse Mars.2 release.
There are early-access builds of STS 3.7.3 available that are built on top of the latest Eclipse Neon milestone (M5 in this case).
Highlights from this early-access builds on Eclipse Neon include substring code completion for Java content assist, word-wrap in text editors, commands/shortcuts/pinch gestures to zoom into text editors (especially useful when giving presentations), and more. Please find additional details in the Eclipse Neon Platform New and Noteworthy.
The latest Pivotal tc Server release 3.1.3.SR1 is now included in the STS distribution bundle.
In the past the boot dashboard listed Spring Boot projects from your workspace and allowed you to pick a "blessed" launch config to use. This launch config was used when starting/debugging/stopping the app from the boot dashboard. However there was no way to deal with multiple running instances or variants of a project. This has changed dramatically in the new version of the Spring Boot dashboard.
In the latest incarnation the Spring Boot dashboard directly supports multiple launch configurations per project. If you already have multiple launch configs for a project, they automatically show up in the boot dashboard as items of the project.
All the existing features of the boot dashboard are now available for those individual launch configs. You can start/debug/stop them, jump to the associated console view, open a browser window for that running application, set a default path per launch config (in case you want to have different default path settings for your launch configs), tag them, and so on.
The project item in the dashboard becomes a shortcut for all those launch configs. It provides you a quick summary of the individual launch configs and allows you to execute bulk actions on them, like start or stop them all.
A single configuration is created automatically when an app is launched. To help you deal with multiple launch configs for a project, the context menu got new actions. Those allow you to quickly open a launch config editor, to duplicate an existing launch config, or to delete one. And by the way: the duplicate action is smart enough to NOT use the same JMX port over and over again, but chooses a new one for each launch configs so that they can truly run in parallel.
Tip: If you want to run multple instances of a single local app simultaneously (e.g. you want to bind multiple local instances of a service via Eureka), you can set the property server.port=0 to let spring-boot pick a port dynamically (otherwise all but one of your launches will fail because the port is already bound).
Nevertheless there might be some launch configs in your workspace that you find annoying to show up in the boot dashboard. For that case the Spring Boot launch configs got an option to be hidden from the boot dashboard. Switch that on and that launch config will never show up in the boot dashboard.
Cloud Foundry Manifest files are a configuration file used when deploying apps to Cloud Foundry. In the past the boot dashboard used a manifest.yml file from the project (if it existed) to deploy an app to Cloud Foundry. But changes to the running app on Cloud Foundry would not find their way back into the IDE and deploying different variants of the same app to Cloud Foundry was cumbersome. This changes in the new version of the Spring Boot dashboard. Cloud Foundry Manifest YAML files are becoming a first-class citizen when working with Spring Boot apps in the boot dashboard.
This allows you to pick a manifest file from your project or anywhere else in the workspace. And the boot dashboard remembers your decision. It will use the same manifest file the next time you re-deploy the app (for example when deploying and restarting the app with changes you made to the code in your IDE).
This explicit support for manifest files also allows you to use various manifest files in your project, for example one for each CF instance you would like to to deploy on, an additional one for a specific variant of the app, a dev version, etc. You can deploy the same project multiple times to Cloud Foundry using different manifest files.
In case you don't remember which manifest file you chose for which app or want to change that setting, you can use the "Select Manifest" action from the context menu. It will open the same dialog and show you which manifest file you chose last time for that application.
But what happens if you want to deploy your app without a having to create or keep a manifest file in your project? The dialog provides the "manual mode" option for this use case. Switch to the "manual mode" and you will be able to edit a temporary manifest file directly within the dialog.
The default content of the temporary manifest file will be generated for you, so no need to write everything up yourself. But you can change the generated content as well as add additional properties. This gives you the option to exactly specify how the project should be deployed to Cloud Foundry.
You will also notice that all the nice features for editing Cloud Foundry Manifest files (see below), like content-assist, validations, and hover help are available in this dialog, too.
By the way: this direct editing of the manifest file content also works if you select an existing manifest file. You can quickly change the content of that file directly from within the dialog. No need to close the dialog, open the file in an editor, make and save changes, and trigger the deploy action again. Just edit the content directly within the dialog. It will save the changes in the file for you.
The boot dashboard will use the content of the selected manifest file to deploy the application to Cloud Foundry - each time it deploys or updates the app. What happens if you changed the configuration of the application on Cloud Foundry in the meantime via the CF CLI or the web console of Cloud Foundry?
The Spring Boot Dashboard will now check for those changes each time it updates the application on Cloud Foundry. If it identifies a difference in the configuration, it will prompt you with a diff and merge dialog.
This powerful dialog visualizes the differences that exist between the selected manifest file and the configuration of the application on Cloud Foundry. And it allows you to merge those updates into the local manifest file with a single click.
You can also decide to not merge those changes into your manifest file and use the manifest file as it is to deploy the app or to forget the manifest file altogether and continue to use the configuration as it exists on Cloud Foundry. In that case, the boot dashboard will remember that decision and not use the manifest file anymore when updating the application.
Cloud Foundry Manifest files can contain configuration information for multiple applications in one file. The boot dashboard recognizes this situation and lets you pick the application section from the manifest file that you would like to use when deploying the app. The mechanics behind that also support multiple applications when showing the diff/merge dialog.
Known limitation: the "inherit" attribute is not yet fully supported for Cloud Foundry Manifest files. If you use the "inherit" attribute, the inherited attributes are not yet taken into account when deploying the file nor are they when doing a diff and merge of manifest files and config changes on Cloud Foundry.
You can now deploy apps directly in run or debug mode via new actions in the context menu. Select the apps you want to deploy to a Cloud Foundry instance in the local section of the boot dashboard, go to the context menu and take the "Deploy and Run On...". The submenu allows you to directly pick the CF target you would like to deploy the app to.
Cloud Foundry sections in the boot dashboard now visualize service instances with their name and selected properties of that service. Double-clicking on that service takes you directly to the management web UI of that service (by opening a web browser for the management URL).
Cloud Foundry sections in the boot dashboard now directly visualize their connected/disconnected status and you can manually connect and disconnect those connections to Cloud Foundry. The connected/disconnected state will be remembered the next time you start up STS. A disconnected Cloud Foundry section will not be connected automatically at next startup. This is particulary useful if you have Cloud Foundry targets defined in the boot dashboard that you don't use all the time.
In addition to that connection problems will be marked as an error on those Cloud Foundry sections, with more detailed information showing up when you hover over the section.
More details about background activity will also be visualized in the Cloud Foundry section, so that you can directly see what is going on when the boot dashboard tries to connect to a Cloud Foundry instance.
In case you have already organized your projects in your workspace using working sets, you can directly filter for those working sets in the boot dashboard. There is no need to add additional tags to the apps. Just type in a part of the working set name into the filter box and the boot dashboard will show those apps only.
The request mappings property tab now works for apps that are running on CF as well.
The boot dashboard allows you to directly pick the default path for a local app (or an app on Cloud Foundry) in the request mappings property tab. Just select the request mapping you would like to use as default for the app and select "Make Default" from the context menu.
The host field on the properties view has turned into a hyperlink that lets you jump to the app URL directly from the properties view.
STS 3.7.3 adds support for editing Cloud Foundry Deployment Manifests. Double clicking a file called manifest.yml will automatically open our new Cloud Foundry Manifest Editor.
The Edit Starters wizard is accessible by right-clicking a Maven project's pom.xml, from menu Spring >> Edit Starters. This wizard provides a way to change the project's dependencies, adding (or removing) starters that you might have forgotten to choose initially when creating your project with the New Spring Starter Project Wizard.
completeness: All dependencies available from the New Spring Starter wizard are now also available in Edit Starters wizard.
presentation: The dependencies are categorized in the same way as in New Spring Starter, including a Frequently Used category at the top.
searchability: A searchbox allows quickly finding the one dependency that you are interested in.
STS 3.7.3 comes with the ANSI Escape in Console plugin installed by default and enables the Spring Boot option to produce ANSI colored console output automatically in case this plugin is installed and active.
When running a Spring Boot app in debug mode (while having the Boot Devtools on the classpath), the debugger usually stops automatically at a SilentExitException (if you have "stop on uncaught exceptions" enabled). Since this can be really annoying, we configure the debugger for Spring Boot apps automatically to ignore exactly that exception.
A new milestone version of Cloud Foundry Tools (CFT) 1.0.M3 is included in 3.7.3 and includes many changes that occurred after CFT moved to Eclipse Foundation and became an Eclipse project. This replaces the old Cloud Foundry Eclipse 1.8.3 tools. If you are downloading a full copy of 3.7.3, CFT is already included.
We encourage users to try out BuildShip in preparation to eventually making the switch from STS Gradle Tooling. Reading this Migration Guide is a good place to start.
If BuildShip does not yet meet your needs, you can still continue to use STS Gradle Integration for some time to come. However, STS Gradle Integration is in minimal maintenance mode. There will be no more new features and limited bugfixes. So please consider filing a BuildShip Bug Report detailing what is stopping you from making the switch.
Bug 471728: BuildShip does not integrate with Eclipse WTP. While projects that use war packaging can be created using our wizards, such projects are not officialy supported and consequently will not be correctly configured by BuildShip.
Bug 482315: Running a BuildShip project with Run As Java Application or Run as Spring Boot App, the runtime classpath will be incorrect and contain test dependencies. Note: this is not a problem specific only to BuildShip. STS Gradle Integration is also affected as this issue stems from a limitation of the Gradle Tooling API that both use.
Bug 468244: BuildShip lacks a mechanism for third-party tooling providers to participate in configuring a project. STS uses such a mechanism to configure the JDT Annotation Processor when spring-boot-configration-processor is present on a project's classpath. This automatic configuration currently only works with STS Gradle Integration but not BuildShip. If you make use of the @ConfigurationProperties annotations in your code, this means that these annotations will not be processed as part of Eclipse workspace builds unless you manually configure JDT APT.
Since the end of March Pivotal is no longer sponsoring the Groovy and Grails projects (as described here). Therefore we don't ship new versions of the GGTS bundle anymore. Groovy-Eclipse remains on the dashboard and was fully updated for Eclipse 4.5. It was *not* updated for Eclipse 4.5.1 so beware that if you install Groovy-Eclipse you will be downgrading your Java compiler and missing all the JDT related fixes that went into 4.5.1.
The Spring Boot Dashboards ngrok tunnel feature doesn't work yet with remote service registries from Spring Cloud Services. Instead it works with self-deployed Eureka service registry apps on CF only (as described here). We are working on enhancing the ngrok tunnel feature to directly support Spring Cloud Services in the near future. In the meantime we published a tech note that describes how to setup ngrok tunneling in combination with SCS manually.
Sometimes Maven projects show up with a red error (talking about a duplicate lifecycle mapping conflict) after upgrading STS from 3.6.x to the latest 3.7.2 version. In this case, please update the Maven support for Eclipse/STS to the latest version, as described here: STS-4236.
Sometimes after updating an existing STS 3.7.0 installation to 3.7.1 an error dialog pops up and STS doesn't start. This is a known but not yet solved problem. If you come across this issue, please press "OK" on the dialog and restart STS. It will open up fine, including all the updated components.
If you have used a pre-release version of Eclipse Mars or STS, the embedded Eclipse Oomph technology created a cache of p2 repositores in your home directory. This cached p2 data can cause issues when using STS 3.7.0 or Eclipse Mars. The error message looks like STS/Eclipse fails to read information from the main Eclipse Mars p2 repository.
In case you encounter this error, please stop Eclipse/STS, go to your home directory, delete "~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.p2", and restart Eclipse/STS. The related Eclipse bug is: Bug 470912.
Spring Boot 1.2.1 configuration processor does not work correctly when executed from Eclipse's incremental build. This issue is fixed in Spring Boot 1.2.2. This only affects 'live' metadata generated from your own source code, not the metadata that is packaged inside spring-boot jars themselves. So you can still use older versions of Boot, but the 'live metadata' updates will not be accurate. See Spring Boot issue GH-2313 for details.
When running STS on top of a JDK7, the new dashboard looks a bit blurry when using a HiRes (Retina) display, for example on a Retina MacBook Pro. This is due to the underlying browser technology that is used to display the dashboard content and that is coming from JavaFX. The JavaFX version that ships with JDK7 doesn't support retina displays. The solution for this is to run STS on top of a JDK8 build. The JavaFX version that comes with JDK8 supports retina displays.
The JavaFX-based main STS dashboard doesn't work when running STS on top of an early-access version of JDK9. As a workaround run STS on a JDK8 or switch the dashboard back to the old (non-JavaFX-based) version via the preferences.
STS requires a JDK to run on top of. Nevertheless the native launcher component might pick up a JRE automatically if you don't specify which JDK to run STS on top of. To avoid this, you can specify the JDK in the sts.ini file that comes with your STS installation. Add a line at the beginning "-vm" and an additional line below that which points to the "javaw" executable of the JDK on your machine.

CAIT Files a Plea Against WhatsApp's New Privacy Policy in the Supreme Court
Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has filed a petition against WhatsApp's new privacy rules in the Supreme Court. The petition says that WhatsApp which is known to render public services by providing a platform to communicate has recently imposed a privacy policy that is unconstitutional, which not only goes against the fundamental rights of citizens but also jeopardizes the national security of our country.

CCI in its order under section 26(2) of the Competition Act, 2002 closed the case against the Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) for alleged abuse of dominant position. The Informant filed information alleging abuse of dominance by SCB in credit card service facility. It was alleged that terms and conditions imposed on him by SCB are arbitrary and unilateral. Practices like charging of interest after operation of card, compounding of interest, etc. were also alleged to be unfair. It was also alleged that the bank misused its dominant position and was acting in a manner which was contrary to competition and interest of consumers.
The CCI determined the relevant market as "provision of credit card/loan facilities by banks in India" and observed that many banks such as Citibank, American Express, IndusInd Bank, HSBC, RBL, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, State Bank of India operate along with Standard Chartered Bank and offer similar services. As the informant failed to place any material evidence on record to show that SCB operates independently of the competitive forces prevailing in the relevant market or that it can affect its competitors or consumers or the relevant market in its favour.
The Commission ruled that prima facie, Standard Chartered Bank does not appear to be dominant in the relevant marker and closed the matter.

Almost $100m redirected for urgent construction of wells to supply drinking and washing water after lengthy shortage.
Thai authorities are rushing to drill thousands of wells across the country to ensure enough water for drinking and washing, as farmers grapple with a drought and a months-long water shortage.
Authorities examined the water supply and demand nationwide and decided to drill 4,300 more wells, said Suphot Tovichakchaikul, secretary of the National Water Board, which comprises water officials and is chaired by the prime minister.
"We are focusing first on water for consumption and daily use - for drinking, bathing and washing. We have asked farmers for their cooperation to not yet use water for irrigation," said Suphot, who is also chief of the Department of Water Resources.
"We estimate that the end of this year's dry season is May 30. The water we have now has to last for the next four months," he said on Tuesday.
The government will divert a $96m budget from the Department of Groundwater Resources - originally set aside to dig 6,000 wells at temples, schools and farms - for the urgent construction of the 4,300 wells.
The Thai government told farmers last year to limit their water use and grow alternative crops. The cabinet also approved a multimillion-dollar budget in October to help farmers to cope with the drought.
Since October, 1,250 wells have been drilled. They are usually dug to a depth of 80 to 100 metres but some wells in Isaan, the agricultural heartland in northeast Thailand, are dug about 300m deep.
Suphot said that the government's long-term strategy includes filling the country's existing dams to capacity by tapping into rivers including the Yuam and Salween along its border with Myanmar.
"These are international rivers, so apart from an environmental impact assessment and feasibility studies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have to tend this issue with respect to relations with neighbouring countries," he said.
Worsening drought could prove another headache for Thailand's military government, which took power after a 2014 coup and is grappling with a lacklustre economy.

England vs West Indies – Players To Watch Out For
A very big clash between England and West Indies is set to happen at the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground. Here are some of the top players to watch out for.
Shai Hope
The 25 year old Shai Hope has been impressive with his wicket-keeping as well as his batting skills. Overall he has 9 dismissals in this year's World Cup and has an ability to score runs in pressure-bound matches. He will have a big task at hand against England.
Chris Woakes
The 30 year old English All rounder Chris Woakes hasn't been in that good touch in this year's World Cup. But he is capable of producing something out of both the bat and the ball. He would look to perform well in his next match. He is the perfect strike bowler which England has in their arsenal.
England's opener Jason Roy has started his World Cup campaign really well. He was the man of the match in the last encounter against Bangladesh where he scored an huge 153 runs setting the tone for a big total.
Jofra Archer
Fast bowler Jofra Archer would feel this game as the Home match only as he was born in Barbados. Archer has been quite impressive in this World Cup picking up 6 wickets in 3 matches. He has taken wickets in the match winning cause while the opposition was chasing. This shows that he bowls without any pressure.
Sheldon Cottrell
Sheldon Cottrell has been quite impressive in this year's World Cup. The Jamaican bowler has been very good in the initial overs picking up quick wickets in no time. He picked wickets in the earliest over thereby creating pressure to the opposition.

The Company has laid down criteria for performance evaluation for Board, Committees of Board and Directors vide approval given by the Board at its meeting held on 10 September 2014. SEBI has recently come out with a Guidance Note on 5 January 2017 on Board Evaluation, which inter alia provides that this is to serve as a Guide for listed entities and is to be adopted as considered appropriate.
For a Company to perform well, one of the most important requirements is to have a balanced and knowledgeable Board of Directors. Stakeholders require assurances regularly that the boards are well equipped to perform their duties diligently and in the interests of the company and its stakeholders.
In order to provide such assurances, the company needs to put in place processes to periodically review the performance of the Board, Committees, Chairperson and the individual directors. With this broad objective in view, the Company has set up as provided herein a robust Board Evaluation Process / System in the Company.
To remove gaps, if any, seen in strategic, business and governance functions in the Company and its Board.
7. Working in the interests of all the stakeholders of the company.
9. Capacity to effectively examine financial and other information on operations of the Company and the ability to make positive contribution thereon.
The evaluation shall be done by the Board, by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee and by the Independent Directors in their separate meeting, as prescribed under the applicable laws.
The aforesaid criteria for performance evaluation are subject to review from time to time. The review will be generally done once in 3 years.

Q: AvalonDock (2.0) + MVVM + VSPackage = document selection trouble? I have a control that utilizes an AvalonDock (2.0) DockingManager control for displaying a set of documents managed by an underlying view model:
<avalonDock:DockingManager DocumentsSource="{Binding Items}">
    <avalonDock:DockingManager.LayoutItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type avalonDockControls:LayoutItem}" BasedOn="{StaticResource DocumentItem}"/>
    </avalonDock:DockingManager.LayoutItemContainerStyle>
    <avalonDockLayout:LayoutRoot>
        <avalonDockLayout:LayoutPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <avalonDockLayout:LayoutDocumentPane/>
        </avalonDockLayout:LayoutPanel>
    </avalonDockLayout:LayoutRoot>
</avalonDock:DockingManager>

The document view model has an IsSelected property, and when the view model is selected, I want to select and show the document in the DockingManager.  To do this, I updated the Style for LayoutItem as follows:
<Style x:Key="DocumentItem" TargetType="{x:Type avalonDockControls:LayoutItem}">
    <Setter Property="Title" Value="{Binding Model.TabTitle}"/>
    <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding Model.IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</Style>

This approach works fine when the control is hosted within a WPF application, but when the control is hosted within a VSPackage, selecting the document in the view model more often than not does not bring the selected document into view.  In the image below, the user clicked on the Customer node to edit, but the customer document did not come into view.

The view model layer is setting IsSelected as expected, and when the control utilized a TabControl, the selected document always showed on top.
It appears to be an issue within AvalonDock.  What I am finding is when a LayoutItem is selected via the view model, the first document in the list is being reselected to true at the LayoutDocument/LayoutContent/LayoutElement layer, which trickles back up and resets IsSelected to true at the LayoutItem layer.  I would love to bind IsSelected to my view model at the LayoutDocument/LayoutContent/LayoutElement layer, but there is no DependencyProperty at that layer.
I've tried alternate ways of binding IsSelected to my view model, but so far without success.  Has anyone else run into this issue?  Know of any workarounds or other approaches?  I'd hate to resort to having to using a non MVVM approach, just to do document selection.
Edit: It seems like this issue may by obscure, as I'm having difficulty creating a reproducing test case, even with a VSPackage.  In the following test case that simulates the actual controls with dual ToolWindows and Mediator messages, the document selection works fine.

This test case (with a WPF app and a VSPackage) is available here (click on Tools=>My command name to launch tool windows, and enter a document title in one window to choose or create and select a document in the window with the DockingManager).

A: I'm putting a bounty on this one, as I'm sure others will run into this issue one way or another, and there should be a better solution.
At the moment, I have a horrible hack to get document selection to work:

*

*I maintained the same IsSelected binding to my document view model in the LayoutItem style.

*In my main view model, I added a SelectedItem property to track which document is selected programatically (by an edit event, etc.).

*I added an event handler for ActiveContentChanged on the DocumentManager control, and in this method I reselect the SelectedItem in my view model if it is not selected.  AvalonDock tries up to a half dozen times to reselect the first document in the list before giving up!

*I added an event handler for PreviewMouseDown on the DocumentManager control, and in this method I null the view model SelectedItem so that user initiated selection continues to work.

Again, looking for a better answer to this!

Poverty, Inc. | A powerful take on poverty and worldview

Peace Corps volunteer Josie Kornegay was in the West African nation of Sierra Leone teaching a class on microbiology for ten nursing students. As related in Darrow Miller and Stan Guthrie's book, "Discipling Nations: The Power of Truth to Transform Cultures," "[a]fter the final exam, one student raised her hand and said, 'Miss, I know that you taught us about polio, but do you want to know how people really get it?'
Josie's heart sank. "How?" she asked the student, who replied, "It's the witches!" . . . They are invisible. They fly around at night and bite people's backs!" Josie related, "At that moment, with a heaviness of heart, I realized that as far as the Sierra Leonean students were concerned, I didn't know what I was talking about. Their grandmothers had told them that witches were real and microorganisms were what white people believed in."
Talk about a contrast—between a Western, science-oriented approach to health and an animistic one! Of course, that's not a matter of intelligence, but it's worldview. Development pros who fight poverty around the world often say that bridging the worldview gap is one of the keys to success. However, there's another worldview gap that we have to recognize if we're going to help people escape poverty and its related ills—it's our own blind spots about how we give aid.
That's why I'm really excited to tell you about "Poverty, Inc." a phenomenal new documentary produced by our friends at the Acton Institute. This film will open eyes not only to why so many expensive and well-intentioned approaches to relief fail to actually help people but also how people actually are helped out of poverty.
In fact "Poverty, Inc" is so good, it was just awarded the Atlas Network's prestigious 2015 Templeton Freedom Award, named for the late financier and philanthropist, John Templeton. You may recall that our friend Chuck Colson received the 1993 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, so this is a significant achievement for the Acton Institute.
And not a moment too soon! Increasing numbers of observers have seen the results of decades of top-down aid from governments and nongovernmental organizations … and have found it tragically lacking.
"Mounting evidence … is causing people of all political stripes to question whether our actions are really helping the poor," said Acton Institute's Executive Director Kris Mauren. "Poverty, Inc. is fast gaining traction, especially among our friends from developing countries who have long been calling out for more inclusive market systems and stronger institutions of justice such as property rights, rule of law, and freedom."
In short, Poverty, Inc. is calling for a worldview shift among those who seek to help the poor.
According to Acton, the current mindset on poverty relief took root during the colonization era, when local cultures were dismissed as "primitive" and their inhabitants as "natives" who needed to be told what to do by "advanced" Westerners. Other cultures may have problematic worldviews—as we do—but their people aren't dumb. But those old prejudices have stuck, like gum on the bottom of our shoes. "Poverty, Inc.," Acton says, "challenges viewers to question fundamental assumptions and see people in the developing world not in terms of their lack, but in terms of their dignity and creative potential."
In other words, to see them as God does—made in His image and part of their own solution. And Poverty, Inc. has been well received by audiences on both the left and the right of the political aisle, which just goes to prove that the Christian worldview works! It's true, and offers a perspective on the world that makes sense.

Whitefield Academy Counseling Office's overall goal is to support and enrich the mission statement of the school at all grade levels. At the elementary level this is accomplished by working with the staff, parents, and students in areas of spiritual, academic, emotional, and physical development. In middle school, the same areas are valued and enriched. This is developed through encouraging their relationships with God, others, and self. For high school, students continue in their academic, personal, and social/emotional development, but the focus shifts to preparing for God's calling in their lives. The focus is on preparing students for college and career readiness along with aiding students and parents in this transition.
Students at Whitefield Academy are required to take courses that meet the State guidelines for pre-college curriculum. These courses are designed for students to take while in high school which will assist them in gaining admission into college and being successful in the completion of college course work.

The name Clos du Soleil, a French term meaning an enclosed Vineyard of the Sun, refers to the rocks, soil, and sun, which together define this very special piece of land where we grow our grapes. The enclosure is the mountain that forms a tall natural stone wall at the back of our vineyard, almost surrounding the cobbled terroir which lends its unique flavours to our wines. Most importantly, our name highlights the long days of sun which pour in on the Similkameen Bench, one of BC's most unique and promising microclimates. Similkameen Valley, or Similkameen Country, is a wine region in British Columbia just west of the Okanagan Valley. The winding Similkameen river, a tributary of the Okanagan river, cuts a deep path through the mountains, giving rise to a warm, arid terroir with a wide variety of soil types. A range of grape varieties are grown here, from Chardonnay and Gamay to the Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
A deep and rich ruby for rosé with magenta hues.
Made entirely with Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine just explodes from the glass with dramatic aromas of red currant and strawberry.
On the palate, there are flavours of cherry, plum and mulberry. While the finish is dry, the berry flavours are so intense as to seem almost sweet. This rosé will strut across hundreds of picnics.

A wonderful novel centred around the famous American racing thoroughbred, which many consider to be the greatest horse of all time. It tells the story of the woman who drove Secretariat's career in place of her dying father. With the help of a charismatic trainer she navigated the male-dominated world of horseracing. This story inspired a major film of the same name.
The remarkable true story of 'Big Red,' one of America's finest racehorses. When her beloved Meadow Stables is faced with closure following her father's illness, housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over. Despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge she calls in assistance from trainer Lucien Laurin and a host of successful jockeys. Pitted against the Phipps' racing dynasty, Penny takes the decision to breed her mare Somethingroyal to the Phipps' Bold Ruler, the nation's favourite stallion. With the toss of a coin it is agreed that one family will take Somethingroyal's first foal with the losing stable taking the colt out of Hasty Matelda and Somethingroyal's second foal. Penny loses the toss, but the wait for the unborn foal proves fortuitous when a bright red chestnut colt is born, Secretariat. Nicknamed "Big Red," with Laurin's guidance, Penny manages to navigate the male-dominated business of horse racing, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time. Now, more than 30 years after its initial publication, the story of "Big Red" continues to be a classic. Secretariat is the tale of a great racehorse but also a testimony to the dedication of Penny Chenery. Following her triumph with Secretariat she was elected as the first female member of The Jockey Club, changing the face of American horse racing forever.
