Perspectives on Fairy-Story: Tolkien, Lewis, MacDonald, Chesterton & Clark
"The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords."
– J.R.R. Tolkien[1]
With these words J.R.R. Tolkien introduces his readers to Faërie, the domain of fairy-story, a realm encountered through Imagination. But what, one might ask, are fairy-stories? Often fairy-stories have been construed as short tales written for children, of little weight or importance in the world of adult matters. In five separate essays, this simplistic perspective is argued against by Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, G.K. Chesterton, and Stephen Clark, who each wrote their own defense of the genre of fairy-story. From differing yet complementary perspectives, these five authors address what fairy-story is and why it is important, exploring the relationship between fantasy and reality, Truth and Imagination, and the laws of consistency and morality that allow an true imaginal world to come into being.
Lewis opens his short essay "On Stories" by pointing out that little attention has been paid by critics to Story, or at least to the particular qualities of Story that make it alluring. The particulars, the details of the experience, that which creates the tangible atmosphere and aura, are what draw the reader into the narrative—not some abstract plot concept but rather the unique qualities of the story lure us to return again and again to certain tales. Indeed, Lewis writes,
We do not enjoy a story fully at the first reading. Not till the curiosity, the sheer narrative lust, has been given its sop and laid asleep, are we at leisure to savour the real beauties. Till then, it is like wasting great wine on a ravenous natural thirst which merely wants cold wetness. The children understand this well when they ask for the same story over and over again, and in the same words.[2]
Although Lewis here refers to children's appreciation of fairy-story, he and Tolkien—and I would argue the other three authors discussed here as well—agree that fairy-stories are by no means exclusively intended for children. Tolkien writes,
At least it will be plain that in my opinion fairy-stories should not be specially associated with children. They are associated with them: naturally, because children are human and fairy-stories are a natural human taste.[3]
Tolkien goes on to say, "If fairy-story as a kind is worth reading at all it is worthy to be written for and read by adults."[4] The stories that affect us most as children are usually those we read again and again long into adulthood. Such stories shape who we are as individuals, allowing us as readers to fully inhabit the emotions, experiences, challenges, and breakthroughs of a multitude of people. Through story, and the inherent awakening of Imagination, we can bring more of ourselves forth into the world and develop more fully.
To create a fairy-story worth reading, a successful fantasy, the creator must imbue it with what Tolkien calls an "inner consistency of reality," a quality that is bestowed only by the power of Imagination.[5] The successful storyteller "makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside."[6] MacDonald, as written in his essay "The Fantastic Imagination," shares with Tolkien this perspective on internal consistency: "To be able to live a moment in an imagined world, we must see the laws of its existence obeyed."[7] Without such laws an imaginal world could not hold, it would fall apart into meaningless disconnection. For Tolkien and MacDonald, these internal laws, the 'inner consistency of reality,' are given by the power of Imagination. Imagination allows one to access to Truth, and Truth is what provides an imaginal world with its own reality.
Law is the soil in which alone beauty will grow; beauty is the only stuff in which Truth can be clothed; and you may, if you will, call Imagination the tailor that cuts her garment to fit her, and Fancy his journeyman that puts the pieces of them together, or at most embroiders their button-holes.[8]
Both MacDonald and Tolkien reference the theory of Imagination articulated by S.T. Coleridge in his Biographia Literaria, which delineates the difference between the creative powers of the Primary and Secondary Imagination from the function of Fancy. The role of Fancy is to reassemble aggregates of remembered experience. Imagination, on the other hand, gives birth to new life: the Primary Imagination births the Primary World of creation, the Secondary Imagination births Secondary Worlds of human Art and creativity. The Primary and Secondary Imagination differ only in degree, and the Secondary Imagination is simply the Primary Imagination creating through the vessel of the human being. For this reason Tolkien refers to one who creates a Secondary World as a "sub-creator" because she or he is creating under the Primary Creator. Tolkien writes, "Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker."[9] Human creativity is the gift of Divine creativity.
Within the heart of Faërie, as understood by these authors, is also a consistent moral law that is more pronounced than the moral law of the Primary World. Chesterton writes in his essay "Fairy Tales": "I think poets have made a mistake: because the world of the fairy-tales is a brighter and more varied world than ours, they have fancied it less moral; really it is brighter and more varied because it is more moral."[10] Indeed, the clear morality present in fairy-stories is a sign of their enchantment; when such connection is severed the world becomes disenchanted. Perhaps this is why, in a time when the dominant world view is largely disenchanted, fairy-stories are so alluring—even when the critics say that as adults we must put them aside. Fairy-stories allow access to Truth in a way that everyday lived experience may not. Tolkien points towards this when he writes, "The peculiar quality of the 'joy' in successful Fantasy can thus be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality or truth. It is not only a 'consolation' for the sorrow of this world; but a satisfaction, and an answer to that question, 'Is it true?'"[11] Shining through the fantastical narrative is that glimpse of Truth, which can be perceived more clearly through the fresh lens of fairy-story, rather than the clouded window of our ordinary, everyday perception.
The Truth glimpsed in fairy-story is the Truth that broadens one's perspective beyond the confines of a disenchanted, materialistic world view. Clark, in his essay "How To Believe In Fairies," writes,
It is to take folk-stories seriously as accounts of the "dreamworld," the realm of the conscious experience of which our "waking world" is only a province, to acknowledge and make real to ourselves the presence of spirits that enter our consciousness as moods of love or alienation, wild joy or anger. In W.B. Yeats's philosophy fairies are the moods and characters of human life, conceived not as alterations in a material being, but as the spiritual rulers of an idealistically conceived world.[12]
Clark articulates the idea that to believe in fairies, or mermaids or dragons, or other inhabitants of Faërie, is not to reduce them to some facet of the known material world—such as insects, manatees, or other mistakenly glimpsed animals—but to accept as an essential part of these beings the very mystery of what they are. Tolkien writes that Elves, and other creatures of Faërie, are "true" "even if they are only creations of Man's mind, 'true' only as reflecting in a particular way one of Man's visions of Truth."[13] The beings of Faërie are born of Truth and mystery, and if we do not reduce them to mistaken perceptions of the physical world, or mere flights of Fancy, Truth and mystery comingle and give birth to something real.
For Tolkien fairy-stories provide a "recovery" of the Primary World, "a regaining of a clear view."[14] Fantasy gives us the opportunity "to clean our windows; so that the things seen clearly may be freed from the drab blur of triteness and familiarity."[15] Returning from the pages of fantasy to one's life, our mundane habits give way to the patterning of story. Imagination breathes new life into the simplest actions—once again we can recognize the miracle in good food, the laughter of a friend, the colors of the setting Sun. In Lewis's words, ". . . the whole story, paradoxically enough, strengthens our relish for real life." Yet Lewis seems to diverge from Tolkien when he says: "This excursion into the preposterous sends us back with renewed pleasure to the actual."[16] I do not feel Tolkien draws such a distinct line between the 'preposterous' and the 'actual.' Fantasy and reality for Tolkien cannot ultimately be separated.
On this matter, Clark seems to be in greater agreement with Lewis than Tolkien. Lewis writes "that is one of the functions, of art: to present what the narrow desperately practical perspectives of real life exclude."[17] I would argue that real life does not exclude the fantastical with which art reacquaints us; rather habit and routine allow us to forget the fantastical inherently present in real life. Clark argues that the 'desperately practical perspectives of real life,' as Lewis describes them, are what allow us to fully appreciate and understand the world of Faërie:
Only those who have lived out of water know what water is. Only those whose ordinary human life is structured by ceremonial and human meaning, who know of their duties and their perils, their friends and children, can clearly conceive that form of life which is fairy.[18]
I would say that the experience of disenchantment, of seeing the world from a desperately practical perspective, is simply a forgetting of the enchantment inherent in our lived reality, the magic of the waking world. Such forgetting is its own form of enchantment. We are compelled, as Lewis felt, to return again and again to the great stories that affected our lives so deeply because some part of us knows we want to remember. We forget so that we may remember. "The primal desire at the heart of Faërie," Tolkien writes, is "the realisation, independent of the conceiving mind, of imagined wonder."[19] We forget so that again and again we may return, through story and Imagination, to experience wonder once more.

– Khabib has made more money in his last 2 fights to send him to top 15 easily
– Brock Lesnar was the face of WWE for years so should be higher up
– Nate Diaz from his 2 fights with McGregor and BMF title bout with JM makes him on the list.

Mid-day crash on South Vernon injures three Adamson students
A violent crash left three teenagers injured on South Vernon Avenue Tuesday afternoon.
They were riding in a small SUV when they hit a dip south of Clarendon Drive and flew out of control into a utility pole, which was torn out of the ground and dragged several feet. A 17-year-old male passenger in the backseat was ejected from the vehicle, and the Jaws of Life were used to rescue two female passengers, both 16, from the front seats.
All three were taken to Methodist hospital in unknown condition. Police told WFAA that the students were skipping class at the time of the crash. The TV station also reported that the male passenger is the owner of the vehicle.

With the Gear IconX, Samsung hoped to take on Apple in the wireless earbuds game. While the 2016 Gear IconX had a tons of features, they just couldn't match up to the AirPods. Since then AirPods have seen some improvements and this year Samsung is out with Gear IconX (2018) earbuds, which we are currently reviewing.
In India, the Samsung Gear IconX is likely to be a Flipkart exclusive as indicated by the #OnlyOnFlipkart tag added to the product on the e-commerce website. You can get notified when the Gear IconX goes on sale in India at this link. The Gear IconX has a price tag of Rs 13,490 in India, as per the Flipkart listing.
But before we get to the full review, we thought we could give you our first impressions of the Gear IconX (2018) after using it overnight.
The first thing you need to know about these truly wireless earbuds is that they are heavily reliant on Samsung smartphones.
If you have a high-end Samsung smartphone such as the Galaxy S8, S9/S9+, Note 8 or are planning to buy the upcoming Galaxy Note 9, the Gear IconX (2018) is the ideal wireless earphone for you.
For other Android phones, Samsung requires some workarounds such as installing the Samsung Gear app, plugins (for phones running Android 8.1) and then a Samsung Health app for the fitness-tracking features. It pairs just fine using the regular Bluetooth method, but that has its drawbacks as we will see.
That's three apps for a pair of earphones on a typical non-Samsung Android phone. Forget about using these on Android P beta since the Samsung Gear app simply does not open on Android P. Thankfully we had a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to test out the full capabilities of the Gear IconX (2018).
The earbuds come in a cradle which is shaped like a pill, not unlike the old Samsung home button on the Galaxy flagship phones. The cradle also acts as a charger for the IconX (2018) and has LED indicators to tell you the battery level of each earbud as well as the cradle. It also has a Bluetooth button which helps you pair the earbuds when you first take them out of the box. The cradle also has a USB Type-C port for charging, so you can charge both the cradle and earbuds simultaneously.
The earbuds themselves sink into the cradle thanks to magnetic POGO pin connectors, and out-of-the-box Samsung has added the mid-sized rubber tips and wingtips. You get three sizes in the box to pick and choose the right fit.
Overall, the Gear IconX (2018) does not look very different from the first-gen model, and build quality feels good if not as reassuring as a pair of AirPods, and the soft rubberized exterior makes wearing them a pleasure. We'll go over the comfort and fit factor in our full review.
Based just off a few hours of usage, I can safely say that the Gear IconX (2018) has some amazing sound, when it's paired with the Samsung Gear app and using its equalizer.
In fact, when I first paired them with a Pixel 2 XL running Android P Beta, the sound was flat, instrumentation sounded tinny and there was barely bass to speak of. Once the Gear IconX are synced with the Samsung Gear app, everything changes.
Immediately after being paired with the app, the headphones have crisp sound, with rich bass and very robust treble. The mids were well-balanced, especially when you choose the Balanced preset in the equalizer. We will be testing the sound quality in depth for our full review.
Having said that, we have no doubt that the Gear IconX can be a capable workout companion as they are very good for high BPM music and genres that prioritize lows. We would obviously be testing other use-cases on the Icon X (2018), such as gaming, using the mic for voice assistant and for calls. Our review should clear up any debate on the sound quality, which is already impressive based on just a few hours usage.
The Gear IconX (2018) also automatically adjust the volume for ambient noise, if you keep this feature on in the settings in the Gear app. In addition, the Gear app in conjunction with Samsung Health also acts as a trainer which sits right in your ear. The IconX gives you updates about your active time, calories burnt, distance covered and more from time-to-time.
They don't have a heart rate monitor, which can be a deal-breaker given the price, but you would have to stay tuned for our full review to find out if it's indeed such a big miss, especially if you have a Samsung smartphone.
Of course, if your only concern is the music, then you should be more than happy with the sound quality of the Samsung Gear IconX (2018), at least based on our first impressions.
We haven't had much time to put the Gear IconX through its paces, though battery life does seem promising. Samsung says 10 minutes of charging in the cradle can provide up to an hour of listening. For a full charge, you would need to charge the cradle with the earbuds inside for just over an hour. The LED indicators glow from red to green when you hit full charge.
In our brief usage, the Gear IconX (2018) only went from 100% to 60% even when we had used the earbuds for more than 4 hours intermittently, pairing it with different devices.
With more and more phones dropping the headphone jack, it's only a matter of time before wireless earbuds become the norm. There's definitely a lot working in the favour of the Gear IconX during our brief testing period. Stay tuned for our full review to see whether you should pick the Gear IconX (2018) as your truly wireless earbuds companion for this year and beyond.

Bigfoot Vocalizations from Kentucky
Bigfoot Acoustics
"To our great fortune, the Scottsville Ghost Hunters knew they had something interesting with this clip, so they contacted Charlie Raymond of the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Group " --Sasquatch Bioacoustic
Didn't we say they are doing great stuff in Kentucky? Charlie Raymond of (Kentucky Bigfoot) gave us a heads up on the whoops and yells of some Kentucky Vocalizations. Thanks to Charlie we found a great new blog (Sasquatch Bioacoustic)and some great definitions to different types of vocalizations.
The Kentucky Vocalizations were inadvertently captured by the late Billy Arndell and a group of paranormal investigators known as the Scottsville Ghost Hunters. During the evening of April 10, 2010, the group visited an abandoned house in a large wooded tract in Allen County, Kentucky. Billy placed his audio recorder inside the house, near a broken-out window, and stepped back outside to converse with his friends. While they talked, the recorder captured an impressive series of vocalizations. Unfortunately their conversation steps on much of the recording, but careful filtering and amplification has salvaged many interesting features, including:
Whoop modified with trailing utterances - At the two second mark of the spectrogram playback, and again at the 15 second mark, a subdued "whoop" vocal is heard. These two whoops are unique with regard to the vocal notes that follow immediately after them. These trailing notes are, to date, not seen in any other potential sasquatch recording. And as a possible first occurrence, this recording takes on added value. This type of call will be listened for in future recordings of possible sasquatch vocalizations.
Moaning howl - At 20 through 29 seconds of the audio playback, a loud vocalizer (louder than the initial two whoops) emits two long moaning howls. These are very similar in construct to the moaning howls heard in the Ohio Howl (1994), Mississippi Howl (2004) and the Florida Howl (2006).
Integrated wood knock - Not a vocalization, but wood knocks are a frequently described signal in suspected sasquatch communications. From 21 to 23 seconds, during the beginning of the first moaning howl, three heavy wood knocks are made. They are difficult to hear in the original audio recording, but show up faintly in the spectrogram as light vertical bars intersecting the howl. With amplification, they are easier to hear in the filtered audio playback. Wood knocks are often integrated into sasquatch vocalizations and can be seen in both the Mississippi and Florida Howl recordings.
Woot vocal - The name of this vocal is an onomatopoeia, or a name that sounds like the thing it describes. This vocal type is not commonly heard, but it has been captured in other audio recordings. In this clip, three possible woots are uttered in rapid succession, at the 31 second mark in the spectrogram playback. They could be mistaken for wood knocks, but the lack of a broadband, woody note suggests these are indeed vocals.
Yell - This vocal type is often long in duration, similar to a moan howl, but it is executed at a higher frequency. The resulting change in tone and timber creates a vocal that sounds very much like a human male yelling in the distance. Heard on its own, it would be completely indistinguishable from a human calling out. But in many instances, the yell vocal is captured in association with other suspected sasquatch vocals. In this recording, an ascending yell vocal begins just before the 32 second mark and climbs steadily in pitch for 3 seconds. Then it breaks to a higher pitched tone, briefly, before breaking again and descending in pitch to the call's conclusion. There are two additional short segments of "yell" in this clip, at the 38 and 42 second marks. But these are integrated into a unique call, discussed below in "pitch changes".
Whistle - From 37 to 38 seconds in the clip, four short notes are emitted, sounding very much like whistles. They could in fact be vocals, but the airy note they contain suggests a whistle. Other examples of this vocal type exist, but more need to be captured before a conclusion might be reached. The first three whistle notes climb rapidly in pitch, and the fourth drops to a lower pitch, below the third. Of interest is the fact that the fourth whistle is emitted during a second, shorter yell vocal from the vocalizer. This suggests a second sasquatch could be uttering the whistles in response.
Falsetto Shriek - This vocal type was probably first captured in the 2004 Mississippi howl recording. It rounds out the sasquatch vocal range, with moan howls at the low end, yell vocals mid range, and the falsetto shriek at the high end, or in the falsetto register (if compared to a human vocal range). This clip contains two falsetto shrieks, the first at the 39 second mark, and the next at the 45 second mark. As the second shriek plays out it drops out and in again at 52 and 55 seconds.
Pitch Changes - The vocals in this recording include abrupt breaks in pitch, to both higher and lower notes. These pitch changes have been observed in other sasquatch vocals with enough regularity to become something of an identifier in themselves. A future blog post will deal more specifically with pitch changes and what's been observed to date. But for this clip the reader should note the minor pitch changes at 35 and 36 seconds, and the significant pitch changes at 39, 42 and 45 seconds. These latter mark the transition from a yell vocal into and out of a falsetto shriek, as described above.

They are called coyotes
It's just my opinion but I came across something that deserves further investigation. Has anyone researched the howls of wolves and compared them to BF vocalizations. You may be surprized on what you discover. My neighbor has a hybrid wolf/dog and the sounds he makes are almost identical to the recordings I have listened too.
These are not coyotes. It's "one" individual making this long amazing vocalization. The gentleman who analyzed this vocalization is a former U.S. Military Cryptologic Linguist (simlar to Scott Nelson) who's specialty now is analyzing and documenting all bigfoot vocalizations. Over the past few years he has compiled a vast database of every sasquatch vocalization ever recorded. He can tell if it's a squatch, person, coyote or other animal.
Coyotes don't whistle, or make wood knocks
Alpha Dog Dec 8, 2011, 7:52:00 AM
The screams are pretty good, however the rest is not to audible and I have bose speakers hooked up to my computer. Think I will get a good headphone. I only wish that when researchers are recording, they would just quit talking. Stan Courtney does a wonderful job of making recordings.
Anonymous Dec 8, 2011, 10:19:00 AM
I know "yotes" can make some odd sounds, and there are some dogs barking at the beginning(they are reacting 2 it). But this is not a coyote,wolf, nor elk. Go 2 the kentucky bigfoot site/allen county/full vocals. Put headphones on and turn it up. Esp. listen from 1:15 until the end, then come back and tell me that's a Canine. It is either the big hairy guy, or a insane human with a vocal range the 3 tenors can't imitate.
Anonymous Dec 13, 2011, 8:30:00 PM
I have an experience documented with BFRO and I have also owned a wolf hybrid. These sounds are not wolves or coyotes. When you hear this scream in the woods you will never forget it. I'm impressed by who ever recored this because they seem to have captured these creatures vocalizing like I have never heard before. Almost like there is a language of some type being used. I wish we could figure their tree knocking patterns.
I know this is a Squatch. Its the same screams I heard as a child when I first saw it. I'm wondering if it's a female and a juvenile ? They almost sound like whales vocalizing in this recording. Also, I have heard before that they either make a sound like a hoot owl or they are attracted to the sounds. Does anyone know anything about that ?

I live in nyc iam really interested in going out with a team and seeing and hearing these bigfoot. Phenomenon for myself anyone interested.
i wanna believe whole heartedly however how can a thousand plus pound 7 foot plus ape surrivive without human detection for so long they must hibernate for long periods of time.or be able to blend in with the terrain excellent. i wanna get out there for however long it takes to document bigfoot without ridicule
Anonymous Jan 2, 2012, 9:14:00 PM
the vocalization is made by something with a huge lung capacity, and is continuious for a duration of the clip, very chilling, makes me want to go ivestigate rite now!
Anonymous Feb 13, 2012, 10:15:00 PM
I have coyotees in the field behind me.This is what I hear every single night.this is nutz.

Noted artist Tyeb Mehta died early Thursday morning at his residence in Mumbai.
The 84-year old artist was suffering from heart trouble. He is survived by his wife Sakina, a son and a daughter.
His canvas at a Christie's auction in June 2008 fetched him his highest-ever price of $2 million.
Mehta's canvas 'Kali'- a dramatic, disturbing work depicting the Goddess with a gouged mouth, broke the Rs 1 crore barrier in 2005, and his 'Celebration'- an expanse of shrouded figures, went for Rs 1.5 crore in 2002.
The artist received the Padma Bhushan in 2007.
Born in Gujarat in 1925, Tyeb Mehta spent an initial period working as a film editor in a cinema laboratory. He received his diploma in painting from Sir J J School of Art, Mumbai, in 1952.

Q: Using fetch to get page settings I am very hesitant to ask this question.  There are many many answers out there around my question, but they don't deal with the

Test Text

setup-configuration.js
config = 'Not Set Yet';

fetch('config.json')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(json => config = json)
  .catch( error => console.error('error:', error) );

do-something.js
console.log(config)

config.json
{
    "SomeSetting": "SomeValue"
}

The issue here is that the call to console.log(config) uses the config variable before it is setup.  This is (of course) because the fetch call uses a promise and is asynchronous.  Normally, I would just put the dependent code as part of the promise chain.  But I basically need all of my application to wait on this script to get the configuration code. (The do-somthing.js script is really several very complicated 3rd party scripts that I would have no chance of modifying to work in one file.)
I originally used a synchronous XMLHttpRequest call, but I chrome debug tools were warning that I was doing it wrong and that it will be removed from future versions of javascript.

Q: Checking whether the String contains multiple words I am getting the names as String. How can I display in the following format: If it's single word, I need to display the first character alone. If it's two words, I need to display the first two characters of the word.
John : J
Peter: P
Mathew Rails : MR
Sergy Bein : SB

I cannot use an enum as I am not sure that the list would return the same values all the time. Though they said, it's never going to change.
String name = myString.split('');
topTitle = name[0].subString(0,1);
subTitle = name[1].subString(0,1);
String finalName = topTitle + finalName;

The above code fine, but its not working. I am not getting any exception either.

A: There are few mistakes in your attempted code.

*

*String#split takes a String as regex.

*Return value of String#split is an array of String.

so it should be:
String[] name = myString.split(" ");

or
String[] name = myString.split("\\s+);

You also need to check for # of elements in array first like this to avoid exception:
String topTitle, subTitle;
if (name.length == 2) {
   topTitle = name[0].subString(0,1);
   subTitle = name[1].subString(0,1);
}
else
   topTitle = name.subString(0,1);

A: The String.split method split a string into an array of strings, based on your regular expression.
This should work:
String[] names = myString.split("\\s+");
String topTitle = names[0].subString(0,1);
String subTitle = names[1].subString(0,1);
String finalName = topTitle + finalName;

A: You were close..
 String[] name = myString.split(" ");
 String finalName = name[0].charAt(0)+""+(name.length==1?"":name[1].charAt(0));

(name.length==1?"":name[1].charAt(0)) is a ternary operator which would return empty string if length of name array is 1 else it would return 1st character

A: First: "name" should be an array.
String[] names = myString.split(" ");

Second: You should use an if function and the length variable to determine the length of a variable.
String initial = "";
if(names.length > 1){
    initial = names[0].subString(0,1) + names[1].subString(0,1);
}else{
    initial = names[0].subString(0,1);
}

Alternatively you could use a for loop
String initial = "";
for(int i = 0; i < names.length; i++){
    initial += names[i].subString(0,1);
}

A: This will work for you
public static void getString(String str) throws IOException {
    String[] strr=str.split(" ");
    StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
    for(int i=0;i<strr.length;i++){
        sb.append(strr[i].charAt(0));
    }
    System.out.println(sb);
}


We made it to Greece! I'm currently writing this from Cafe Kitron on the island of Naxos in the Cyclades. Stepping off the ferry from Athens last night felt a little like coming home, or, I guess, home away from home away from home. Colin has been coming to Naxos for seven summers now (you can read about his Greek island research here), spending anywhere between three weeks and two months each year. In contrast, this is only my third trip to Naxos, but the port town is small enough that it felt familiar almost immediately when I showed up in 2013 and by now feels like an old friend. This is also the island where Colin asked me to marry him in 2015 (or, to be technically correct, he asked on a small white-rock island called Aspronissi – Greek for "small white island" – which is a short kayak paddle from Naxos).
As familiar as Greece is, the transition from Paris has been amusing. It was a crazy feeling to step off our Air France flight in Athens and realize that I'd spoken my last words of French for several weeks. The change in wardrobe is obvious as well—in Paris, you would never see anyone in flip-flops or a track suit, but in Greece gym clothes are perfectly acceptable apparel. And the noise! I didn't realize quite how quiet Parisians are until I was surrounded by boisterous Greeks. And as much as j'adore Paris, the laidback island culture of Naxos is refreshing. If only Colin didn't have to work, then we could sit here sipping cold drinks by the sea all week!
Alas, this may be our last quiet moment for a while. This afternoon we're going to collect Colin's research equipment from the ancient Venetian castle where he stores it, then tomorrow we'll hop on the ferry to the next island over – Paros – which serves as home base for his islet experiments. The rest of the crew will descend on Paros over the next couple days, and my debut as a full-time research assistant starts Monday. Wish me luck! I've got a little case of first-day-on-the-job jitters, although I'm hoping that our marriage certificate will ingratiate me with the boss.

With a view to provide exposure to the students in the area of financial markets, Department of BBA B.COM, organized a guest lecture on "Investment Opportunities in Financial Markets" on 24th October, 2018. The lecture was delivered by Mr. Himanshu Arora (CFA) from Bombay Stock Exchange Institute Ltd. The lecture basically focused on the different investment opportunities that are available in the markets where an investor can invest and earn high returns. Students were made aware about the Commodity Market Exchange. Commodity exchanges are specialized organized markets which provide a place where their members buy and sell commodities or contract for future delivery under established rules and regulations. Its objective is to provide an open platform for the interaction of free play of the forces of demand and supply. It only registers the prices reflecting the forces of demand and supply. Buying and selling, trading practices and actual working of the organized market are governed by a code of rules and regulations and these can ensure fair dealings, fair prices and equity. Finally, towards the end, students were also made to do an activity, with the help of which they came to understand the commodities which can be invested at commodity market exchange. We extend our deep gratitude to Mr. Himanshu Arora (CFA) who really made the students aware of the commodity market exchange. The lecture proved to be fruitful under the guidance of Dr. Manish Gupta (Dean Management), Dr. Dheeraj Gandhi (HOD, BBA & B.COM), Ms. Priyanka Awasthi, Mr. Nitin Sareen, Dr. Hitendra Shukla and Mr. Manmohan Bansal.


The Lavender and Leeks tour is back on for it's 4th year running and we couldn't be more excited! We've been busy over Winter sourcing more vintage stock, making more metal work and just in general getting ready for the busy season ahead. Last year was absolutely amazing, we had so much fun and we can't thank our customers enough. The shows were beyond what we ever could have imagined and we've been super busy booking shows for 2019. This year we will be selling at a few of our familiar spots as well as branching out into some RHS shows such as Chatsworth, Malvern, Tatton and Hampton Court!
One of the best things about touring all these shows is meeting all you lovely folks. We wouldn't be here without all our amazing customers and followers and we love meeting you in person for a good chat! I've popped the list of all the shows we will be selling at this year and I really hope I see some of you there.
p.s Stay updated with our events page, we might be adding more last minute shows! For easy access you can find this post saved on the main menu.

Q: Designing data ware house from oltp database Problem We have to design data ware house for the data base.
information available: We have an oltp database dump .
Question  Before designing ware house what all thing we should be knowing ?
what all question we should ask from oltp Database owner and business (user of DWH).
Could please any one can help on that .
Thanks.

A: This is what I can think of right now, not neccessarily best order or exhaustive list:

*

*First I would get a clear picture what questions are ought to be asked.

*Then I would ask how "fresh" the data has to be.

*Then who will be using it in what cases.

*Then what reports or adhoc or self service stuff is required.

*Then how metadata (server load, job performance, failovers) will be monitored

*Then if there is a specific required modelling technique

*Then if there will be tools which need to get data

*Then if the data will be updated

*Then if other sources need to be included in the future

*Then how much data will be processed at any time

*Then how the data model is looking like

And then I think I would have enough information to capture the general size of the project and possible problems which can be tackled beforehand.

# Akka I/O

The I/O extension provides an non-blocking, event driven API that matches the underlying transports mechanism.

## Getting Started
Every I/O Driver has a special actor, called the `manager`, that serves as an entry point for the API.
The `manager` for a particular driver is accessible through an extension method on `ActorSystem`. The following example shows how to get a reference to the TCP manager.

```csharp
using Akka.Actor;
using Akka.IO;

...

var system = ActorSystem.Create("example");
var manager = system.Tcp();
```

### TCP Driver

#### Client Connection
To create a connection an actor sends a `Tcp.Connect` message to the TCP Manager.
Once the connection is established the connection actor sends a `Tcp.Connected` message to the `commander`, which registers the `connection handler` by replying with a `Tcp.Register` message.

Once this handshake is completed, the handler and connection communicate with `Tcp.WriteCommand` and `Tcp.Received` messages.

The following diagram illustrate the actors involved in establishing and handling a connection.

![TCP Connection](/images/io-tcp-client.png)

The following example shows a simple Telnet client. The client send lines entered in the console to the TCP connection, and write data received from the network to the console.

[!code-csharp[Main](../../examples/DocsExamples/Networking/IO/TelnetClient.cs?range=10-63)]

#### Server Connection
To accept connections, an actor sends an `Tcp.Bind` message to the TCP manager, passing the `bind handler` in the message.
The `bind commander` will receive a `Tcp.Bound` message when the connection is listening.

The `bind handler` will receive a `Tcp.Connected` message for each accepted connection, and needs to register the connection handler by replying with a `Tcp.Register` message. Thereafter it proceeds the same as a client connection.

The following diagram illustrate the actor and messages.

![TCP Connection](/images/io-tcp-server.png)

The following code example shows a simple server that echo's data received from the network.

The JRC building will house 12 research units and supporting functions as well as public and private outdoor spaces. The building is expected to break ground in 2024.

"With our design for the Joint Research Centre in Sevilla, more than anything, we have attempted to allow the sustainable performance of the building to drive an architectural aesthetic that not only makes the building perform better but also makes it more inhabitable and more beautiful – a new Andalusian environmental vernacular," said Bjarke Ingels.
Inspired by the shaded plazas and streets of Sevilla, BIG proposes a cloud of pergolas over the entire JRC site, sheltering the plaza, the garden and the building underneath, akin to the shading elements typical to Sevilla. The entire pergola structure is supported by a forest of columns and will be covered in photovoltaics contributing positively to the building's operational footprint.

The periphery of the pergola is lowered to a human scale height creating a variety of spaces underneath it. The research centre adapts to the canopy, creating a series of terraces, shaded outdoor spaces for breakouts, relaxation, and informal meetings with views of the city.
Inside, the functions of the new JRC building are organized with public program and amenities such as dining, a conference center and social spaces on the ground floor, while the offices and research units occupy the upper floors for privacy and security. The collaborative workplaces face the plaza, while the deep-focus workspaces face the garden. The proposed layout is designed to be entirely flexible and adaptable according to any future needs of the JRC.
In addition to the energy harvested from PVs and technologies applied across the building, the canopy will feature integrated rainwater collection technologies and a particular focus on Biophilia. The passive design of the building through its shallow floorplate and constant shading under the pergola cloud enables natural cross ventilation and ideal light qualities, reducing the energy consumption typically used on artificial lightening, air conditioning and mechanical ventilation.
The design prioritizes locally sourced materials, such as limestone, wood and ceramic tiling. The building structure is low-carbon concrete, reducing up to 30% of typical CO2 emissions, while the pergola cloud is made from recycled steel. Gardens, greenery and water elements in the outdoor environment seek to reduce/eliminate the heat island effect and create a comfortable microclimate.

My husband and I have been planning our dream home for a little over a year. We are so lucky and blessed to be able to live in the country where we live just across the street so we can see all of the updates and it is so much fun! This past year has been a little stressful making decisions that will last forever in our forever home but we have almost made it and we couldn't be more excited! We are building a 5400 sq ft rambler style home. 4 bedrooms with a bonus room for my sons play room, a movie theater room, 4 bathrooms and lots of fun stuff!
A 600 sq ft walk-in closet with a shoe room with leopard print carpet with lots of Rach Parcell vibes from her last home. I have been obsessed with since I have read her blog years ago!
So let's just say we compromised very well!
I may or may not have re-done our plans 4 times. I was so nervous because I have never purchased a home before nor have I built a home before. I wanted it to be fabulous, fun and one of a kind with some farmhouse vibes on the exterior since we live on my in-laws farm where it is so beautiful!
My neighbors include my in-laws, sister-in-law, brother-in-law & my husband's grandpa. We all live in separate homes about 1 mile away from each-other and it is so peaceful. After a long day of talking to people all day I love coming home to peace! That is is my 4 year old isn't trying to wrestle me!
So now for the fun stuff!!
My Inspiration For The Outside Of The Home!
My husband and I decided on a rambler style rather than a two story because his knees from being a previous professional athlete hurt him. I really wanted a grand staircase with this amazing chandelier I purchased in New Orleans before we built but now I am so happy we went with the open concept.
My exterior inspiration for a modern farmhouse...not my home my inspiration!
My Second Favorite Room, The Kitchen!
The inspiration for my kitchen came from my interior designer Jessica Curry!
Our cabinets are custom, but I went with white cabinets (photos below shows a light grey) and a dark black for the center island. I also chose the black slate matte cafe style appliances!
I never knew that appliance shopping would make me just as happy as shoe shopping!
Here's a photo of the kitchen as of a few weeks ago in the process of the build out!
My Favorite Room, MY CLOSET!
The inspo for my closet came from Rach Parcell, blogger at pinkpeonies.com...her shoe room gives me life!!! I'm so excited for mine to come to life!
Her desk next to the window. Which I totally coped because this is where I will blog! It was my husbands idea to turn the home so my view is not the cows. Can you believe I live next to cows?! The glam mom fell in love with the farm boy! That was his professional mma, ufc fighter name! I wouldn't change it for the world!
And her center island is SO beautiful! I have one similar that is being custom made, I can't wait until it comes in at the end of February!
Here's a little inspiration of what my closet will look like from my interior designer, Jessica Curry.
The room to the right, by the small window, will by my shoe room and the inner corner when you walk in will my glam station!
The larger closet will be the clothes closet.
I love when I go to one of my best friends home Kelly and we play dress up and hang out in her closet. I wanted that for myself and we are only building once, so you might as well get what you want!
The window is where my desk will be, then my clothes closet & center island will be in here too!
This is the beginning stage of my shoe room!!!
My glam station corner! To the right, my builder will be building in a shelf where my lotions and potions will be going! I need those for my skin, ladies you understand!!
This flooring may be my favorite! It is a custom marble floor to be cut for this finish. Now I love anything outside of the normal and I'm the person who is always taking risks and wants to start trends. I love black and anything different so let me introduce to you my master bathroom!
Photo from my interior designer Jessica Curry for the master bath floor. They are cutting marble pieces to make the design!
For my master bath, I wanted an amazing free standing tub where I can have wine! My interior designer designed a little nook for my wine and my builder brought it to life!
I was going to go with a white tub, they had pink and my husband thought I should have gone with that because pink is my favorite color but when I saw the black I fell in love and that is what I'm getting! How amazing right?!
Maybe I'm biased because I love baths! My husband wanted a waterfall shower and I am excited to see his yellow gold shower head come to life!
Next I fell in love with these mirrors from Lulu & Georgia and found them on sale a few months ago at 30% off so had to purchase it then!
My Black + White Dining Room!
The inspiration, I totally found from my friend and a woman who inspires me so much Debbie Price with Zen Custom Homes dining room idea book and fell in love with the wallpaper!
I was looking, shopping and came across an amazing rectangle table! I couldn't believe it! I showed him 3 options and we both fell in love with the rectangle. It fits perfectly with my black and white theme though!
I just have to go shopping for chairs with my interior decorator bestie Kelly (who has the most amazing home and closet by the way) her taste is amazing! I want velvet but I have a toddler and I want more babies so maybe in a few years I'll go from leather dining room chairs to velvet!
The photo I took a few weeks ago with process of the dining room!
And the beautiful chandelier I purchased in New Orleans January 2017. I am so excited to have dinner parties under this beautiful chandelier!
The main family room is on the main level with the fireplace. My interior designer and I went with an amazing backsplash that is metallic and looks like flames. I also went with just one built in cabinet piece so I can mix up the other side with chairs, art work or the Christmas tree!
The inspiration from my interior designer!
The photo I took a few weeks ago with the process! The tv will go above the fireplace.
Paint colors for the main floor.
For our master bedroom my interior designer and I decided on black carpet which I am so excited about! I fell in love with this amazing chandelier from restoration hardware, the crystal collection.
I fell in love with it when I went to Borboleta headquarters in Salt Lake City and I was going to put it in my living room on the main floor however it was too much so it is now going in our bedroom!
When I fell in love with this stunning chandelier!
My husband honestly right now has a little spot in our closet so he is actually really excited about his closet! Everyone laughs about the size of mine to his but he says he's really excited about it! Opposites attract I'm telling you!!
For our laundry room I went shopping with one of my besties Aynsley for appliances and we purchased the same washer and dryer!
I would like to give a big social media shout out to my dear friend Aynsley who is building during the same time as me however her home just got finished and I can't wait to gift her her home warming presents! When I was frustrated she gave me her interior designer and my life instantly got rid of stress! It was so much fun picking things out together, venting together and celebrating our new homes together! I love you Aynsley!
For my inspiration for the powder room which is next to the dining room, across from the kitchen and next to the laundry room. Again I totally copied a woman who inspired me from her powder room! She has an amazing mirrored vanity with gorgeous wallpaper and I instantly fell in love.
My powder room is much smaller so I went with a smaller version of her vanity and a different type of wallpaper...a more Art Deco. Actually, it is the same pictured below for my glam station, however we went with a lighter color wallpaper for my glam room but the same print.
Same wallpaper for powder room.
My inspiration from Zen Custom homes in Rochester, MN. Isn't it beautiful?!
The vanity sink for my powder room. Along with gold accents in the fixtures.
I am so excited to see our home come alive! The main floor is my little baby and downstairs is going to be so much fun! I am still debating on what colors and everything to do for the basement. I'll update you later once I know!
I hope you are loving my style and excited to tour my home once it's finished!
Until next time, have a glass of champagne for me!

Yahoo to Lay Off 2,000 Employees; Analysts Slam Scott Thompson's Plan
Yahoo Inc is going to lay off 2,000 employees with hope of reviving the struggling internet giant. Its new Chief Executive Scott Thompson has resorted to job cuts to save hundreds of millions of dollars for the company.

Yahoo Inc is going to layoff 2,000 employees with hope of reviving the struggling internet giant. Its new Chief Executive Scott Thompson has resorted to job cuts to save hundreds of millions of dollars for the company.
The job cuts amounts to 14 percent of the company's total workforce of 14,100. The company is expected to save about $375 million annually through the layoffs.
Thompson, who took up the challenge of reviving the beleaguered internet company after the two previous CEOs failed, said that layoff is needed to turn the company into a profitable one.
"The changes we're announcing today (Wednesday) will put our customers first, allow us to move fast, and to get stuff done," Thompson said in a memo to employees on Wednesday, obtained by Reuters. "We are intensifying our efforts on our core businesses and redeploying resources to our most urgent priorities," he added.
However, some analysts are of the opinion that layoffs are not the solution to earn more revenue.
"You can't cut your way to revenue growth. What people want to see out of Yahoo is they want to see a plan and provision for revenue growth," Reuters quoted Colin Gillis of BGC Partners as saying.
Yahoo has resorted to layoff after its revenue totaled only $4.98 billion in 2011. It was outperformed by search engine giant Google and social networking site Facebook.

Over 10 years ago I started Million Dollar Smiles with the simple goal of wanting to bring smiles to children facing life threatening illnesses. I began with a small group of volunteers and together we helped change the life of 10 families in our first year through our Travelling Teddy Bear campaign. After years of running numerous fund-raising events resulting in many smiles, we have grown into a group of dedicated volunteers who organize fundraisers that support our gift-giving campaigns and special events.
A surprisingly wonderful by-product of starting Million Dollar Smiles has been the amazing volunteer community that we have built! These volunteers are not just great because of their fundraising efforts but also because they really roll up their sleeves and get involved.
Our very successful Summer Playground Build program entails teams of 20+ volunteers building playgrounds over a weekend in the backyard of our special MDS children.
We also get a huge turnout for our Holiday Bear Drive. Every Christmas over 200 volunteers take time out during the busy holiday season to help us deliver 4-foot Teddy Bears (each with $100 Toys R Us gift certificates) to children around Toronto and area. Each year we continue to surpass our goals of delivering smiles and hugs to our special MDS children during the important holiday season.
Our 8th annual Halloween Gala Fundraiser will be held on Friday October 24th at the Paradise Banquet Hall in Vaughan, Ontario. This new location will enable us to accomodate over 800 guests at this very popular event.
While we also organize many other fundraising events throughout the year, we challenge you to take part and Plan a Fundraiser of your own. No event is too small and no amount of money raised is too insignificant to help support our efforts.
I believe that in today's world we are all rushing around trying to keep up with our many responsibilities and so often can take many small precious moments for granted, those simple moments that instantly make our lives a little brighter and richer. Taking the time to give and see the results of those efforts is a huge gift.
With every smile given and received, our hearts gets a little stronger and in return only brings true happiness.
