Baseball Season
Now, Carl Paladino has won elected office and can no longer just throw stones. Now? He has to produce tangible results.
The Buffalo schools are a huge problem, and I wish the new board – including Mr. Paladino – well in their efforts to bring about positive changes. We'll see if the baseball bat approach works, I reckon.
It will also be interesting to watch Mr. Paladino's interaction with the superintendent's office, but also with the Special Assistant to the Superintendent for Community Relations.

The research has shown that community schools have a tremendous number of benefits. However, I don't believe that the savings will be as great as Carl seems to believe, as that transiency and poverty go hand in hand. We will likely always have issues in busing our students. Additionally, while there is a need for a massive overhaul of the suspension system, there seems little appetite to provide the resources needed to make any of the alternatives work.
The bitterness is palpable here. Despite Alan's best efforts, Carl keeps on keepin' on. That's gotta be frustrating.
Not frustrating at all. Just sad.
What other racist loudmouths with no qualifications or stake in the school system might the citizens of Buffalo elect to lead it?
And people wonder why the city continues to lose population.

Just think of it as a full employment program for pundits… 😉

Paladino has a significant stake in the school system as a landlord pulling in public education dollars from the charter schools he rents property to.

This looks more like bitterness than sadness:
The town of Clarence which has been gaining population voted for Paladino over Cuomo, 70% to 24%. (8,743 to 2,919 out of 12,419 votes)
That's a similar margin to what Paladino won by yesterday, 79% to 20%.
The city's population loss estimated by the Census has actually greatly slowed in years since Paladino started running for office. I'm not saying there's cause and effect in that of course, but to say the opposite and attribute Buffalo's longer term population loss to a city district being willing to elect Paladino to something – while ignoring that growing Clarence supported him by a similar margin for a much more important office – does looks bitter and frustrated.
Speaking of which, anyone or everyone who may have cheered on the illegal direct mail smears against Jay McCarthy and James Sampson might today also be sad, bitter, and/or frustrated by their victories Tuesday. Those mailings slung mud at McCarthy, Sampson, and Byron McIntyre by accusing them of being "cronies" of a "serial pornographer" and associating them with someone else's admitted adultery. Good to see that the mailings apparently backfired in most of the contests for which they were sent.
I predict this leads to the end of the world as Carl gets disgusted with the ineffectiveness of his own public service, puts his own name up on a billboard on one of his dilapidated buildings and we all get sucked into a black hole…
Produce tangible results? Since when has any politician around here needed to do that to get re-elected?
BuffaloB
It took a lot of guts to say that …
Tony Fracasso
Lot of truth in Some Guy's statement
ckg1
Alan: Not only does he have to produce results, he has to learn how to get along with others instead of acting like a 10 year old brat. That means, Mr. Paladino, no more displays like you put on at a board meeting a few months ago.
Penny to a pound he doesn't last his whole term without doing SOMETHING stupid. It's in his DNA. And that can NEVER be changed.

Pan-resistant superbugs means the return of incurable bacterial infections.
A woman in her 70s has died in hospital in the US after contracting a superbug infection resistant to all antibiotics while travelling in India. The woman died in Reno, Nevada, after being treated with 26 different antibiotics in an attempt to cure an infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
The woman had been treated repeatedly as an in-patient in India after fracturing her hip. After returning to the US, she was admitted to hospital on 25 August 2016 and died of septic shock weeks later, according to a report by the US's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The patient was treated in isolation once the nature of the infection had been identified, which appears to have effectively limited its spread. Medics in Nevada report that tests on other patients in the same unit of the Nevada hospital have not contracted the superbug.
Another strain of multi-resistant Klebsiella killed 16 people in a hospital in Manchester during an outbreak in 2014.
Klebsiella lives in the human gut, and if it spreads throughout the body during an infection, it can cause pneumonia, urinary infections, blood infections and meningitis. It is showing increasing antimicrobial resistance, including to carbapenem, an antibiotic of last resort.
Director of the CDC Tom Frieden has previously described carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria (CRE) as "nightmare bacteria". In addition to their antibiotic resistance, they kill up to half of people who become infected and can easily spread their resistance genes to other bacteria via small transmissible loops of DNA called plasmids.
Although the Nevada Klebsiella death is thought to be an isolated case, researchers say that this is unlikely to be the last death from the superbug in the US.
"It's possible that this is the only person in the US and she had the bad luck to go to India, pick up the bad bug, come back and here it is, we found her and now that she's dead, it's gone from the US. That is highly improbable," James Johnson, an infectious disease researcher at the University of Minnesota told STAT News.
Other researchers say that this case is a wake-up call for boosting efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance.
"If we're waiting for some sort of major signal that we need to attack this internationally, we need an aggressive program, both domestically and internationally to attack this problem. Here's one more signal that we need to do that," said Lance Price of the Antibiotic Resistance Action Center at George Washington University.

Adam's Family History
1This is the family history of Adam. When God created human beings, he made them in his own likeness. 2He created them male and female, and on that day he blessed them and named them human beings.
3When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of another son in his likeness and image, and Adam named him Seth. 4After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
6When Seth was 105 years old, he had a son named Enosh. 7After Enosh was born, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8So Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9When Enosh was 90 years old, he had a son named Kenan. 10After Kenan was born, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12When Kenan was 70 years old, he had a son named Mahalalel. 13After Mahalalel was born, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14So Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
15When Mahalalel was 65 years old, he had a son named Jared. 16After Jared was born, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17So Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
18When Jared was 162 years old, he had a son named Enoch. 19After Enoch was born, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20So Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21When Enoch was 65 years old, he had a son named Methuselah. 22After Methuselah was born, Enoch walked with God 300 years more and had other sons and daughters. 23So Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24Enoch walked with God; one day Enoch could not be found, because God took him.
25When Methuselah was 187 years old, he had a son named Lamech. 26After Lamech was born, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27So Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
28When Lamech was 182, he had a son. 29Lamech named his son Noah and said, "He will comfort us in our work, which comes from the ground the Lord has cursed." 30After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31So Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
32After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The purpose of organizational storytelling
Disciplines > Storytelling > Storytelling in organizations > The purpose of organizational storytelling
Teaching | Power | Anxiety release | Entertainment | See also
Why tell stories in organizations? Beyond the primitive reason that they are a superb communication medium, there are several purposes that may be served by telling stories at work.
When done deliberately, stories in organizations teach people how to behave and how not to behave. This includes:
What to say/not day
What do do/not do
In what situations do these apply/not apply
Teaching tales often take the form of a person doing something and then getting rewarded or punished in some way (to symbolize what is good and not good).
Teaching tales can also tell people what to think and believe for example in describing values in action or explaining a schema.
Thus, for example, founder myths may be used to teach values and heroic stories to teach good behavior.
Teaching stories stories may also say something about power in the organization, warning of people not to cross and illustrating how power is gathered and wielded.
When told as a personal story, they may be used to propagate the power of the storyteller. For example, if I talk about a conflict that I won, I am putting forward the idea that I am not a person to be crossed.
Thus leadership stories and stories of failure can tell how power works and does not work in the organization.
Anxiety release
When stories are told informally, such as in common gossip, they often take the form of expressing concern about something and may be prefixed with such framing phrases as 'Did you hear about...'
The reason people tell these stories is that they feel anxious about something. This creates tension, which in turn leads to the need for the release of sharing it with others. 'A trouble shared is a trouble halved', as they say.
Telling others about your anxieties seeks sympathy from the other person and may position you as a victim in the Drama Triangle.
'Everyday' stories often have the purpose to stimulate and entertain people. Although many organizational stories have other purposes, they may also be intended to entertain, for example telling of people doing silly things (and so having some element of teaching!).
Entertainment stories have a social purpose in creating excitement and the release of laughter and position the storyteller as a person whose company is to be enjoyed and so creating bonding.

The James L. Kuber fights through ice on April 14.(Photo: Paul Beesley)
James L. Kuber gets reprieve as a barge.
•Reprieve: Age, size and expense of operation led to the retirement of the steamer Reserve but the ship has been converted to a barge and has resumed Great Lakes service.
•Origin: This vessel dates from 1953 and construction by Great Lakes Engineering Works at its River Rouge shipyard.
•Service: The 647-foot long bulk carrier went to work for the Columbia Transportation Co. on May 2, 1953, under the name Reserve.
•Cargo: Its first trip was to Superior, Wisconsin, where the steamer took on 18,571 tons of iron ore in the four cargo holds.
•Longer: Reserve arrived at Superior for lengthening on Dec. 12, 1974, and resumed service the following spring after being lengthened to 767 feet in the $5 million project.
•Conversion: It was rebuilt as a self-unloader at Bay City in 1982-1983 and was now able to carry 26,000 tons of iron ore or 18,700 tons of coal.
•Retired: Reserve later sailed under the banner of Oglebay Norton but was laid up by them in 2005.
•Sold: The ship joined K & K Integrated Shipping in 2006 and operated under power until being converted to a barge in 2007-2008.
•Return: The ship resumed trading as James L. Kuber in 2008 pushed by the tug Victory.
•Fate: The pair of vessels were sold to Grand River Navigation in 2011 and the tug-barge combination works in the aggregates trades.

Schools opening delayed again
After last week's announcement from the Dodge County School Board that the opening of Dodge County Schools had been moved from August 6 to August 13, the school board met in a called meeting on Monday, July 27 and have now moved the opening of schools to September 8.
Staff will report as originally scheduled on August 3.
This extra planning time will give teachers and staff additional time to prepare for extra safety measures. The system is providing two instructional options so that you can choose the best option for your student:
1. A traditional face-to-face option
The traditional face-to-face option is like regular school only with extra precautions added. [Full Story »]
Schools opening are moved back
By Dr. Susan Long
Dodge County School
Systems superintendent
A little over four months ago, we were all anticipating a regular week with all of the usual items on our agendas, and then almost out of nowhere it seems, COVID-19 showed up. Who would have ever thought that something like a virus could change the way we do business in such a short amount of time! I want to thank you for your support and understanding as we have worked to respond to the unexpected invasion of COVID-19. I am very proud of the way our Dodge County students, parents, employees, and leaders handled the demands we were faced with to protect everyone as we continued to educate and feed our students during the most unusual of circumstances.
As you know, there continues to be concerns and questions related to how schools plan to reopen in August 2020. While we are in the business of educating, our first priority is the safety of our students and our employees. The Dodge County Schools Return-to-School Team has been working diligently to assess the situation and to develop our plan to reopen schools. After much consideration and with guidance from local health officials, the CDC, and parent and staff feedback from surveys, our schools are preparing to start the 2020-2021 school year as planned on
August 3 for staff. Originally, schools were to open on August 6, but the calendar has been adjusted, and students will return to school on August 13. This extra planning time will give teachers and staff additional time to prepare for extra safety measures. The system is providing two
instructional options so that you can choose the best option for your student:
The traditional face-to-face option is like regular school only with extra precautions added.

Since 2006, the New Jersey Institute of Technology's (NJIT) College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA) has promoted and implemented a number of projects designed to leverage the University's technological and educational expertise for the improvement of K-12 education. Under the vision of Dr. Fadi Deek, now NJIT's Provost, and the direction of Dean Kevin Belfield of CSLA, Drs. James Lipuma and Bruce Bukiet have worked to improve both in-class and digital learning aspects of primary and secondary education. These efforts are now focused on digital learning and learning object design in several forms.
Dr. Lipuma and Dr. Bukiet recognized the growth of the availability of resources online, while simultaneously experiencing how time consuming it can be to find appropriate learning objects. For example, often one must sift through many videos before finding one appropriate to the situation. From this realization, the Curriculum, Learning and Assessment Studies (CLAS) Network was conceived. The CLAS Project is an integrated framework for K-16 research and professional development. Through an on-line network, conferences, workshops, and a peer-reviewed journal, the project seeks to bring together educators in order to create a community of evidence-based best practices. An essential component of the CLAS Project is the CLAS Network.
What is the CLAS Network?
The CLAS Network is a repository for educational resources and materials, thus providing access to these materials to all educational stakeholders including teachers, students, parents, and beyond. Users can either create Learning Objects or a variety of other forms of content, or consume those materials published on the CLAS Network by other users. This contributes to a major goal of the CLAS Network, to become a 'one-stop shop' for digital learning resources. The Network also connects educational stakeholders around content and pedagogy with user-defined groups, personal messaging, and the ability to collaborate with other users on topics and issues defined by the users themselves. The mission of the CLAS Network is to address the need for a repository of vetted educational videos and learning objects of various types, which are easily accessible and searchable, so that educators can find what they need quickly and efficiently, while connecting with their peers and colleagues around the world.

In March of 1997, an unusual event occurred in the night skies of Arizona which have been dubbed the Phoenix Lights or the Incident at Phoenix. This mystery actually started in Southern Nevada over the town of Henderson, NV.Then reports of strange lights over the Arizona towns of Paulden, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Dewey, and Phoenix.
Low altitude, possibly 1,000 feet or lower.
Absolutely no sound or noise.
Moving at a speed so slow that no aircraft could stay in the air at that speed.
Then accelerate to unknown speeds.
Fife Symington was Arizona Governor at the time, also witnessed the event at a nearby park. The Governor would later hold a Press Conference and ridicule and mock the event to the ire of many witnesses. Later Governor Symington would apologize at a Conference at the Press Club in Washington DC.
In fact, he criticized public officials who would "run and hide" instead of admitting they didn't know what this event or any unusual happening was.
So often career advancement does not allow an ambitious government official to be involved in any way in anything "outside-the-box".
One has to applaud Governor Symington for admitting what he saw and admitting that he handled the situation in a wrong manner at first.
Most witnesses said what they saw was usually 5 lights in a "V" formatting, very low to the ground, very slow in speed perhaps as slow as 30-40 mph, and absolutely no noise at all.
The time of this event was from 20:15-20:40 hours (8:15-8:40 PM), depending on what part of the Valley where you were when you saw the object. Then the "object" continued Southeast and accelerated to speeds unknown.
The second event of the "The Phoenix Lights" occurred around 2200 (1000 PM) to the southwest part of the city. There were several "home videos" taken of this event. This event appeared to be different in the fact that several lights (more than 5) came on one by one. The Air Force said they were dropping flares over the Goldwater Practice Range at that time.
After viewing the videos, many said that if they were flares, there would be some change in there (flares) position in the formation, but the lights remained perfectly straight information. Although the winds aloft at that altitude were light, the "flares" would have moved a little even in light winds.
Also, flares leave a smoke trail from the burning phosphorus, there was no indication of this in the videos. In addition, the parachutes would illuminate from the flare, even a small amount, but there was no indication of any parachute illumination.
The lights of this Event Two last several minutes, 5-10 minutes as it is estimated. Just as they came on (9-10 lights), they went out one by one. Thus ended this very unusual evening activity.
Besides the "main events" in Phoenix. The "triangle" was seen in Tucson as a "battleship gray" color. This event occurred about 2100 hrs (9:00 PM) and lasted for just a few minutes and was witnessed by a handful of people.
If it were low flying aircraft or helicopters, they would make noise. That is what was so unusual about the sightings was there was absolutely –NO NOISE. There was an explanation given by an ex-Air Force officer that the first event was 6 /A-10s flying at 15,000 feet traveling from Nellis AFB Las Vegas to Davis-Monthan AFB Tucson AZ.
I live about 25 miles from Davis-Monthan AFB and there are many A-10s stationed there. Quite regularly A-10s fly over our house at alludes at 10,000 feet and higher. While that is pretty high there is no question about hearing engine whine even if it is not too loud. The Lights Over Phoenix were reported as very low. So we can rule out any type of known aircraft.
Since there were at least 10,00 reports of eyewitnesses to the event, we can dismiss that possibility.
The fact is the government wants their experiments to be "unnoticed" and kept secret rather than plastered across the news media. So we can rule out Experimental Aircraft.
There are several individuals from the Phoenix area and elsewhere too, that think that we were visited by "aliens" I am leaving that explanation to you, the reader, to determine if you think that is true.
Do we have the capability to produce holographs that could fool thousands of people? That might be an experiment that the government might consider to see how it would work on a populous area (if we had the technology). If this worked we would have an enemy chasing after tanks and aircraft there were mere images.
Finally, do I have a definitive explanation for "The Incident at Phoenix"? I am sorry but I am with the thousands throughout the world who regard this as a great unsolved mystery.
March 13, 1997, was indeed an interesting night for the residents of Arizona.
THANKS FOR READING. I HOPE THIS WAS INFORMATIVE!

Q: Find files in a folder using Java What I need to do if Search a folder say C:\example
I then need to go through each file and check to see if it matches a few start characters so if files start
temp****.txt
tempONE.txt
tempTWO.txt

So if the file starts with temp and has an extension .txt I would like to then put that file name into a File file = new File("C:/example/temp***.txt); so I can then read in the file, the loop then needs to move onto the next file to check to see if it meets as above.

A: What you want is File.listFiles(FileNameFilter filter).
That will give you a list of the files in the directory you want that match a certain filter.
The code will look similar to:
// your directory
File f = new File("C:\\example");
File[] matchingFiles = f.listFiles(new FilenameFilter() {
    public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
        return name.startsWith("temp") && name.endsWith("txt");
    }
});

A: Have a look at java.io.File.list()  and  FilenameFilter.

A: As @Clarke said, you can use java.io.FilenameFilter to filter the file by specific condition.
As a complementary, I'd like to show how to use java.io.FilenameFilter to search file in current directory and its subdirectory.
The common methods getTargetFiles and printFiles are used to search files and print them.
public class SearchFiles {

    //It's used in dfs
    private Map<String, Boolean> map = new HashMap<String, Boolean>();

    private File root;

    public SearchFiles(File root){
        this.root = root;
    }

    /**
     * List eligible files on current path
     * @param directory
     *      The directory to be searched
     * @return
     *      Eligible files
     */
    private String[] getTargetFiles(File directory){
        if(directory == null){
            return null;
        }

        String[] files = directory.list(new FilenameFilter(){

            @Override
            public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return name.startsWith("Temp") && name.endsWith(".txt");
            }

        });

        return files;
    }

    /**
     * Print all eligible files
     */
    private void printFiles(String[] targets){
        for(String target: targets){
            System.out.println(target);
        }
    }
}

I will demo how to use recursive, bfs and dfs to get the job done.
Recursive:
    /**
 * How many files in the parent directory and its subdirectory <br>
 * depends on how many files in each subdirectory and their subdirectory
 */
private void recursive(File path){

    printFiles(getTargetFiles(path));
    for(File file: path.listFiles()){
        if(file.isDirectory()){
            recursive(file);
        }
    }
    if(path.isDirectory()){
        printFiles(getTargetFiles(path));
    }
}

public static void main(String args[]){
    SearchFiles searcher = new SearchFiles(new File("C:\\example"));
    searcher.recursive(searcher.root);
}

Breadth First Search:
/**
 * Search the node's neighbors firstly before moving to the next level neighbors
 */
private void bfs(){
    if(root == null){
        return;
    }

    Queue<File> queue = new LinkedList<File>();
    queue.add(root);

    while(!queue.isEmpty()){
        File node = queue.remove();
        printFiles(getTargetFiles(node));
        File[] childs = node.listFiles(new FileFilter(){

            @Override
            public boolean accept(File pathname) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if(pathname.isDirectory())
                    return true;

                return false;
            }

        });

        if(childs != null){
            for(File child: childs){
                queue.add(child);
            }
        }
    }
}

public static void main(String args[]){
    SearchFiles searcher = new SearchFiles(new File("C:\\example"));
    searcher.bfs();
}

Depth First Search:
 /**
 * Search as far as possible along each branch before backtracking
 */
private void dfs(){

    if(root == null){
        return;
    }

    Stack<File> stack = new Stack<File>();
    stack.push(root);
    map.put(root.getAbsolutePath(), true);
    while(!stack.isEmpty()){
        File node = stack.peek();
        File child = getUnvisitedChild(node);

        if(child != null){
            stack.push(child);
            printFiles(getTargetFiles(child));
            map.put(child.getAbsolutePath(), true);
        }else{
            stack.pop();
        }

    }
}

/**
 * Get unvisited node of the node
 *
 */
private File getUnvisitedChild(File node){

    File[] childs = node.listFiles(new FileFilter(){

        @Override
        public boolean accept(File pathname) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(pathname.isDirectory())
                return true;

            return false;
        }

    });

    if(childs == null){
        return null;
    }

    for(File child: childs){

        if(map.containsKey(child.getAbsolutePath()) == false){
            map.put(child.getAbsolutePath(), false);
        }

        if(map.get(child.getAbsolutePath()) == false){
            return child;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

public static void main(String args[]){
    SearchFiles searcher = new SearchFiles(new File("C:\\example"));
    searcher.dfs();
}

A: Consider Apache Commons IO, it has a class called FileUtils that has a listFiles method that might be very useful in your case.

A: Appache commons IO various
FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch
See Apache javadoc here. It matches the wildcard with the filename. So you can use this method for your comparisons.

A: For list out Json files from your given directory.
import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FilenameFilter;

    public class ListOutFilesInDir {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

            File[] fileList = getFileList("directory path");

            for(File file : fileList) {
                System.out.println(file.getName());
            }
        }

        private static File[] getFileList(String dirPath) {
            File dir = new File(dirPath);

            File[] fileList = dir.listFiles(new FilenameFilter() {
                public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                    return name.endsWith(".json");
                }
            });
            return fileList;
        }
    }

A: You can use a FilenameFilter, like so:
File dir = new File(directory);

File[] matches = dir.listFiles(new FilenameFilter()
{
  public boolean accept(File dir, String name)
  {
     return name.startsWith("temp") && name.endsWith(".txt");
  }
});

A: I know, this is an old question. But just for the sake of completeness, the lambda version.
File dir = new File(directory);
File[] files = dir.listFiles((dir1, name) -> name.startsWith("temp") && name.endsWith(".txt"));

A: From Java 8 you can use Files.find
Path dir = Paths.get("path/to/search");
String prefix = "prefix";

Files.find(dir, 3, (path, attributes) -> path.getFileName().toString().startsWith(prefix))
                .forEach(path -> log.info("Path = " + path.toString()));

A: To elaborate on this response, Apache IO Utils might save you some time.  Consider the following example that will recursively search for a file of a given name:
    File file = FileUtils.listFiles(new File("the/desired/root/path"),
                new NameFileFilter("filename.ext"),
                FileFilterUtils.trueFileFilter()
            ).iterator().next();

See:

*

*org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils

*org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.FileFilterUtils

*https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/io/filefilter/IOFileFilter.html

A: As of Java 1.8, you can use Files.list to get a stream:
Path findFile(Path targetDir, String fileName) throws IOException {
    return Files.list(targetDir).filter( (p) -> {
        if (Files.isRegularFile(p)) {
            return p.getFileName().toString().equals(fileName);
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }).findFirst().orElse(null);
}

A: You give the name of your file, the path of the directory to search, and let it make the job.
private static String getPath(String drl, String whereIAm) {
    File dir = new File(whereIAm); //StaticMethods.currentPath() + "\\src\\main\\resources\\" +
    for(File e : dir.listFiles()) {
        if(e.isFile() && e.getName().equals(drl)) {return e.getPath();}
        if(e.isDirectory()) {
            String idiot = getPath(drl, e.getPath());
            if(idiot != null) {return idiot;}
        }
    }
    return null;
}

A: *

*Matcher.find and Files.walk methods could be an option to search files in more flexible way

*String.format combines regular expressions to create search restrictions

*Files.isRegularFile checks if a path is't directory, symbolic link, etc.

Usage:
//Searches file names (start with "temp" and extension ".txt")
//in the current directory and subdirectories recursively
Path initialPath = Paths.get(".");
PathUtils.searchRegularFilesStartsWith(initialPath, "temp", ".txt").
                                       stream().forEach(System.out::println);

Source:
public final class PathUtils {

    private static final String startsWithRegex = "(?<![_ \\-\\p{L}\\d\\[\\]\\(\\) ])";
    private static final String endsWithRegex = "(?=[\\.\\n])";

        final String regex = String.format(containsRegex, fileName, fileExt);
        final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
        try (Stream<Path> walk = Files.walk(initialPath.toRealPath())) {
            return walk.filter(path -> Files.isRegularFile(path) &&
                                       pattern.matcher(path.toString()).find())

Home Press Release Galet Wins Award For Best Boutique At Hampton Classic
Galet Wins Award For Best Boutique At Hampton Classic
By Marty Bauman for Classic Communications
Bridgehampton, N.Y., Aug. 25, 2015 — With its orange vintage Citroen truck blazing the way, the French shoemaker Galet was named the outstanding boutique among the more than 70 boutiques on display at the 40th annual Hampton Classic.
"The Citroen is very French and very iconic. We're a French shoe brand, and we do very iconic shoes, so we thought this truck was a great way to represent us here in the United States, " said Jonathan Horemans, one of the company's owners.
Horemans and his partners founded Galet in early 2014, and this is their second appearance at the Hampton Classic.
Citroen first made these panel trucks in the '50s and kept them almost unchanged for 30 years. This truck dates from the early '70s.
Why is it orange? "Frank Sinatra said that 'orange is the happiest color,' and so we thought that the orange really represented the fun vibe we're trying to create. It brings a smile to people's faces," said Horemans. "So we use a lot of orange in our branding."
Horemans said that they restored and custom refitted the truck used at the Hampton Classic, installing a stereo system, cutting out the upper left side to create a counter and a window that opens to customers, and putting in a shelving unit on the right side. The truck, which seats two people in front, is roadworthy but can only go about 35 mph, so they have it towed to most sites.
The Citroen holds about 200 pairs of shoes, but Horemans has an SUV in the parking lot with many more shoes, plus a warehouse not far away. "Our company is based in Paris, and this is our office here in the United States," Horemans said with a smile.
Galet owns two nearly identical trucks; the other is in France.
Over the summer, Horemans and the orange truck appear at an event nearly every weekend on Long Island, pairing with a retailer or a restaurant, or a show like the Hampton Classic. "We try to set up a fun vibe for everybody," said Horemans.
The shoes Galet sells are men's shoes, designed and made in France. "I describe it as a very comfortable, lightweight loafer. They're all rubber-soled, with either leather, canvas or cowhide uppers. The canvas ones are machine-washable. They're great shoes for the weekend. Many people would call them 'boyfriend shoes.'"
Galet shoes all have the same shape and same rubber sole. They range in price from $175, with an average price of $250. The cowhide shoes are the most expensive, at $295.
Equestrian stylist Ashley Cline (sponsor of the Boutique Contest) was one of the judges, along with Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
"The judges said that they thought we had created a friendly, fun environment, that it was something different from the other booths," said Horemans. "We're a luxury company, but we're doing it in a fun way-that's our ethos."
Judges Ashley Cline (left) and Mary-Kate Olsen (right) presented the blue ribbon for the Hampton Classic Boutique Contest to Javier Goggins, one of the owners of Galet.

K12-Powered Students Capture Top Prizes in Essay Contest!
Academics, Student Success
Earlier this year, the National Charter Schools Institute launched the "2018 Michigan Charter Schools Essay Contest", asking charter school students from across the state to share stories of their personal heroes. Over 300 students submitted essays, and four K12-powered students swept the titles for first and second places in both the middle and high school divisions!
Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy (MGLVA) 10th grader Madison Corriveau won first-place in the high school division, and Michigan Virtual Charter Academy (MVCA) 8th grader Olivia Sipic won first-place in the middle school division. Second place winners in both divisions attend MGLVA: 12th grader Laura Otto and 7th grader Hailey Dykhouse.
These essays reflect the diversity and authenticity of the students. The students shared inspiring stories of bravery and resilience, spotlighting heroes who included a great-grandfather who survived a Nazi work camp, a Korean War veteran, a grandfather who battled cancer and a younger brother who persevered through childhood illness.
Kendall Schroeder, Head of School at MGLVA, said he is inspired by the courage of his students to share their family stories. "Madison, Laura, Hailey and Anja are my heroes! To be able to share their hearts and do it so eloquently shows self-confidence and courage," said Schroeder. "These students embody the core values of our schools, shining their beacons of light into the world. We are proud of each of them!"
Winners were chosen based on originality, how clearly the theme was expressed and adherence to rules of grammar, punctuation and style. First place winners receive $250 and a trophy, while second place winners get $125 and a certificate of recognition.
Schroeder adds, "To have captured the top places in this contest out of over 300 charter school students in Michigan, is simply amazing! This is a testament to our dedicated students and staff."
You can read the essays here. Congratulations to all the winners!

We all know that the internet is a dangerous place. We employee security com-panies and utilizes encrypted data. Unfortunately the consumer mentality that has been bred into us since childhood tends to take over. The world of commerce has changed dramatically over just the past 3 years. Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart and other are competing for your dollars by offering a good price and convenience, but a healthcare provider needs to understand the "un–seen" dangers in the un–regulated internet.
The Un–Regulated Internet … Healthcare providers are regulated by state and federal agencies, therefore, everything they do is subject to interpretation. What would happen if a procedure fails and the result is litigation? Was the failure due to an inadequate clinical procedure or was it due to product failure? Your defense team will blame the material manufacturer but their defense team will want to know where and when the materials were purchased. If the materials used were not obtained from an authorized U.S. distributer, you are on your own. The original manufacturer will not support your defense. Now you need to prove that the materials used during the clinical procedure were acceptable for use, that they were not counterfeit.
Counterfeit Dental Materials … If something sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't. In today's world market there is a counterfeit everything and dental materials are no different. Companies like 3M, Dentsply/Sirona, Kerr Sybron pursue and litigate unauthorized distribution internationally on a regular basis. You can receive updates and information on grey market and counterfeit issues as well as authorized distributors by calling the manufacturers directly.
Authorized Distribution Channels … There is a reason that only certain companies are authorized to distribute a manufactures products. The requirements are based on the product line and inventory storage capability. An authorized distributor must have inventory rotation systems and be able to purchase a large opening order covering the manufacturers entire product line. As an example, Dentsply Sirona has about 35 authorized dental distributors in the US and one, locally, is under a federal indictment due to a Dentsply investigation into the handling of there product. However, a quality distributor will have some requirements from the manufacturer, and that is product liability.
Product Liability … You automatically think that product liability is the manufacturer's problem, that is a consumer mentality. In the eyes of the law your patient is the ultimate consumer and you are responsible for the products you use and the source of supply. If the product in question was not obtained from an authorized distributor, the manufacturer's insurance company will claim no liability and you will be between a rock and a hard place.
Liability Insurance … Your malpractice insurance covers you to the extent of the policy but what about the source of your payables? Do you have liability insurance conformation from your I.T. Company, electrician, plumber, dental supply, lab, etc? Henry Schein, like most regulatory compliant companies, requires proof of product liability before they will release a product into the market from any distribution center. This should be part of your risk management program.
Risk Management … There is so much you don't know. Your concentration is on patient care and treatment planning and you have insurance backing you up incase of litigation. However, there is a good chance that you are set–up to loose. Record keeping is the #1 defensive strategy and it is so much more than accurate charts. You don't know what you don't know. From product liability to patient communication to employee management and sales tax liability, it's your responsibility.


Cuando piensas en la Navidad, que se te viene a la mente?
When you look at how, where and why Jesus was born and raised, if you were God would you have done it any differently? If so, how and why?
What does that tell us about how God want to transform the world?
In light of that, how should we respond when God does, or allows, things in our lives that are not what we expected?
Cuando miras a como, donde, y porque Jesús nació y creció, si fueras Dios lo hubieras hecho diferente? Como y Porque?
Como eso nos dice como Dios quiere transformar el mundo?
Have you ever had a hard time believing God has a purpose for your life?
How does our faith and trust in God's purpose for our lives affect the way we experience the unexpectated?
When we look at the impossibility of a virgin birth, what conclusion can we draw regarding the things God has promised us?
How do God's promises for us empower us to be unified in the midst of our differences?

            {
                System.Console.WriteLine(element);
            }
            System.Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}

Program.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace LoopFrame
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Loops loops = new Loops();
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

I think there is some faults, but the program can currently compile, but it just makes a black screen.
Thank you for your time.

A: As it stands, you're constructing the Loops instance, but you've not called any methods.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Loops loops = new Loops();
    loops.WhileLoop();
    loops.DoWhileLoop();
    loops.ForLoop();
    loops.ForeachLoop();
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.ReadLine();
}

You may want to read up on Methods.
As an aside, you can populate your list with much less code:
names = new List<string> { "Peter", "Suzanne", "Steen" ... };

As another aside, in two of your loop methods, you're incrementing the index variable twice per iteration, which should only print out every other element.

A: You are not calling any method that should print the list content.
Add:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Loops loops = new Loops();

    //Call methods
    loops.WhileLoop();
    loops.DoWhileLoop();
    //...

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.ReadLine();
}

A: Your foreach will not work. As you declared a new names as int[]. To make your foreach workable with declared list. You should use
foreach(string s in names)
{
Console.WriteLine("Name is : "+s);
}

Q: Git believes ahead branch is behind I made a mistake and pushed changes to master when it should have been pushed to develop. Whoops!
So, I pushed the changes to develop and removed the changes from master.
Unfortunately, this leads to GitHub thinking master is one commit ahead of develop when develop is the one ahead of master.
How can I make GitHub understand that develop is the branch with the newer content so the new changes won't be overridden in a future pull request?
Edit:
I removed the changes in master by pulling it, removing the last commit using
git revert -m 1 <SHA of commit>

, and pushed it to master
Edit 2:
It seems I was unclear. The develop branch has the changes that I want to implement to master in the future.
However, the master branch has the commits that I applied to develop plus an additional commit, which cancelled out the changes that develop has.
I want the changes in develop to be applied to master in the future. However, master believes it is ahead because I cancelled out the changes that are implemented in develop.
Therefore, the develop branch is considered to be one commit behind and 0 commits ahead since master has the changes from develop plus a commit that reverses the changes from develop.
From my understanding, git rebase would 'fast-forward' develop to master. However, this would be unwanted since this would remove the changes that master needs to have in the future due to the above explanation.

A: This is a concept of git where a branch is both ahead & behind another branch.
Since you removed the unwanted commits from master but making 1 more commit (which is not present in develop branch), this means that there is 1 commit that is present in master and absent in develop branch. Clearly, master is 1 commit ahead of develop.
Similarly, there must be some commits (say n), which are present in develop and yet not present in master - this means that develop branch is n commits ahead of master.
So you master is both ahead (1 commit) & behind (n commits) of develop branch.
To resolve this, merge master into develop branch.
After Edit :
To resolve this, get the lastest commit id which you think belongs correctly in the master branch (one just before the develop branch commits). Say <c1>. Then do the following:
git reset --hard <c1>

This will remove the merge and unmerge commits, both.


Whenever we see an exciting new outfit cascading down the runway, we have to remind ourselves of the harsh truth: You can't afford that full look, babygirl. But, what's our consolation prize? Accessories, of course. Because while shelling out thousands of dollars on a straight-off-the-runway ensemble isn't exactly accessible, splurging on a pair of shoes or a timeless bag is a lot more justifiable.
Accessories are the perfect entry point to any designer label, and that's why we can't help but get our (figurative) binoculars out to spot what pair of sunglasses or what type of hat we'll be wearing next season. With Fashion Month well underway, the 11 accessory trends ahead are worth adding to your arsenal by next season (if not sooner). Even if you're on a tight budget, these little add-ons have endless potential — and will hold you over until you (one day) CAN buy the whole damn show.

Minnesota Twins Unveil New Uniforms, Including New Hat Logo
David Drew
David Drew Published: November 21, 2022
Twins Baseball / YouTube
A process that began in 2020 came to end on November 18 when the Minnesota Twins unveiled new uniforms that they say are "a celebration of the club's legacy, powerfully and cohesively modernized through a crisp, vibrant and forward-thinking lens."
At an event held at the Mall Of America, the Twins showed off their refined "TC" logo, new "M and North Star" mark, exclusive new font and wordmarks, and the club's four new uniforms – one home, one road, one home alternate and one additional alternate that can be worn at Target Field or on the road. This is the franchise's first complete design revamp since before the 1987 season.
There are a lot of details to be found in each of the four new uniforms. For example, here's the Twins describe their new primary uniform and "TC" mark:
A modernized "Twins" script recalling beloved elements of yesteryear, the return of a piping pattern first popularized by Rod Carew-era clubs and rekindled in the final year of the Metrodome, and a crisp, dynamic aesthetic celebrating the club's updated color palette, the new home uniform is a passionate, innovative and bold embodiment of
baseball and community in Twins Territory.
Specific elements of these primary home uniforms include:
"TC" Hat: The first, and still most beloved, professional sports mark in Minnesota, the interlocking "TC" is ubiquitous with community and civic pride – a symbol not just of the Twins, but of our state. Staying true to the historical integrity of the hand-drawn mark that debuted in 1961, but with subtle changes in weight and composition, this sleek and refined version cohesively fits in the club's new design system to carry the "TC" forward for the next sixty years and beyond.
"Twins" Script: Paying homage to the original 1961 "Twins" script, the distinctive "T" is separated from the connected, cursive "w-i-n-s," while – in keeping with club tradition first introduced during the World Championship season of 1987 – the "win" is underlined. The "Twins" script returns to red, as it was on the primary home uniform from 1972-2014.
Piping: First seen on Rod Carew en route to his 1972 American League batting title and reintroduced on a throwback worn by Joe Mauer during his 2009 AL Most Valuable Player campaign, the sleeve and pant piping is a tri-color pattern of navy, white and red stripes.
Sleeve Emblem: Linking to the fabled mark of Minnie & Paul standing within the state outline, the left sleeve features a navy Minnesota silhouette adorned with a red North Star, representing the location of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Player Name and Number: Numbers return to the front of the uniform, but – in a first for the home jersey – they are in navy to offset the "Twins" script, in a vivid juxtaposition of all three primary colors. The player's name and number on the back (also delivered in the Twins' exclusive new font) are presented in offsetting navy and red, respectively.
Of course, as soon as the Minnesota Twins unveiled all their new uniforms they, along with other related gear, were available for fans to purchase. However they are currently only available at the Target Field Twins Clubhouse Store, located next to Gate 29. They are open 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. They will be closed on Thanksgiving.
