Q: How do I inititialize the variable? So I have a program which will print out the number of days into a year you are from a date given by the user, which includes leap years. However, when I complile the program it says the variable dayNumber is not initialized. How do I fix this?
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Days
{
public static void main( String [] args )

    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    int month, day, year;
    int dayNumber;

    month = scan.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter the day: ");
    day = scan.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter the year: ");
    year = scan.nextInt();

    if ( month == 1 )

        dayNumber = day;

    else if ( month == 2 )

        dayNumber = 31 + day;

    else if ( month == 3 )

        if ( year % 400 == 0 )

            if ( year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 )

    System.out.println("The date " + month + "/" + day + "/" + year + " is day number " + dayNumber);

}
}

Thank you for any help you can give!

A: If by "run the program" you mean compile, you need to set dayNumber to something before all the if statements. You should not that your tabbing suggests you do not understand if/else statements entirely. For instance:
    if ( year % 400 == 0 )
        if ( year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 )
            dayNumber = 31 + 29 + day;
    else
        dayNumber = 31 + 28 + day;

The else is connected to the last if (in this case year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0). If this is not what you want then you would need:
    if ( year % 400 == 0 )
    {
        if ( year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 )
            dayNumber = 31 + 29 + day;
    }
    else
        dayNumber = 31 + 28 + day;

Which it should be noted, would not set dayNumber to anything.

A: That's because the compiler detects you may have a path not initializing the variable.
Don't do int dayNumber=0 : this would only hide the real bug
The solution isn't to initialize int int dayNumber=0 but to check your code.
In order to be able to do so, make your code readable. I suggest you use switch instead of those if :
switch (month) {
case 1:
    ...
    break;
case 2:
...

And think a little about this part of your code :
else if ( month == 3 )
    if ( year % 400 == 0 )
        if ( year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 )

What happens to dayNumber if the first two tests are true but not the third one ?

A: Simply as int dayNumber=0;, You also need to initialize other variables(month, day, year). Not exactly to 0, you can initialize it to other default values(See @dystroy's answer).
In java, If variables are local then you have to initialize them otherwise you will get complier error.
While Class fields are intialized to their default values. See variables here for more info, check next Primitive Data Types chapter too on given link.

A: int month, day, year;
int dayNumber;

dayNumber = month = day = year = 0;

It's a little overkill on my part, but at least it covers all the bases...

A: Just write:
int dayNumber = 0;

All local variables, in Java,  must be initilized before first use.

A: You can do int dayNumber=0; You might be wondering why it is not there for month, day and year. This is because compiler finds that for these attibutes you are assigning values to it before they are being used. But in case of dayNumber you are setting values for it in conditional loops and there is chance that it may not be executed before dayNumber is accessed for printing.

Molinari's tee shot on the par-3 12th never had a chance, hitting the bank and tumbling into Rae's Creek for double bogey. Until then, Molinari never had trailed in a round that began early in threesomes to finish ahead of storms.
Woods finished at 13-under 275 and became, at 43, the oldest Masters champion since Nicklaus won his sixth green jacket at 46 in 1986. That has stood for years as Augusta's defining moment.


Scientometrics, 72(1), 25–32 (2007) .
I discuss the difficulties that I encountered in reproducing the results of the Shanghai ranking of world universities. In the Shanghai ranking, the dependence between the score for the SCI indicator and the weighted number of considered articles obeys a power law, instead of the proportional dependence that is suggested by the official methodology of the ranking. Discrepancies from proportionality are also found in some of the scores for the N&S and Size indicators. This shows that the results of the Shanghai ranking cannot be reproduced, given raw data and the public methodology of the ranking.

This is where the Ammeter is going, in the right hand pocket, the cup is recessed about 5/16" (6 mm) so it will sit below the level. Seem to remember this was called "Frenching in" back in the mists of time.
The tools to do the job, punches are always the best option when available, they give a much cleaner and far more accurate result than hole saws. The smaller punch is there solely to cut the pilot hole for larger 40 mm punch.
Bit of a moment of panic when it was thought that the female part of the punch would be too big to fit in the cup. Damn close, but close is far enough and it sneaked in with a mil to spare.
The Ammeter dropped into place, gonna need somebody with small hands to get the lock nuts on the back of it though.
Cool looking mod. I wish I had one of these on my old bike, cause the charging system is such a piece of garbage. It'd be nice to have a heads up before getting stranded.

Stand up for the maestro
Why is Elgar ignored outside Britain? He came from a European tradition, and he can speak to Europe, argues conductor Sakari Oramo
Sakari Oramo
Fri 25 May 2007 18.55 EDT
Edward Elgar, whose 150th birthday falls on June 2, is in need of help. The Iron Lady's favourite composer is dearly loved in the British Isles - what would the Last Night of the Proms be without his Pomp and Circumstance March no 1 - but is sinking into oblivion elsewhere. Well, maybe not completely: there will always be cellists who cherish the depth of expression in his brilliant concerto, and audiences will always delight in his ability in capturing the personalities of unnamed friends in the Enigma Variations.
But what people are missing out on is his position in the history of music: for all his association with a particular strain of English identity, he's not just a British composer - he's an international figure. Elgar was a key example of the trend at the start of the 20th century where countries on the rim of "musical" Europe suddenly produced unique and important composers of international significance: witness the flowering of such composers as Denmark's Carl Nielsen, Romania's George Enescu, Poland's Karol Szymanowski and Finland's Jean Sibelius.
On the eve of Elgar's birthday, I find it ironic that I, a Finn, am called upon to defend him. Yes, I am a foreigner. And yes, I love Elgar's music, both performing it and listening to it. Why? Because to me, Elgar doesn't represent the fusty, quintessential Englishman as pictured on the outgoing £20 banknote. Nor was he, as he is sometimes portrayed, a troubled genius hiding his uncertainty behind a melancholy grin in the shadow of his mighty moustache. Perhaps the very fact that we can still today debate what he really was about, while he still eludes us, is exactly why he does matter.
In his lifetime Elgar was at pains to stress his humble origins in the West Midlands - he was born in a small village outside Worcester, the fourth of six children born to a piano tuner and his wife - and had to fight hard for recognition among the rich and powerful. He suffered from frequent and sometimes violent spells of self-doubt that cast their shadows on his work, yet he learned to be very shrewd in promoting his works and managing his public image. In this way, he was a link between the long-suffering Romantic artist and the rational modern composer.
Having had no musical education, Elgar drew his early inspirations from the German late-Romantic idiom, from Wagner, Bruckner and Richard Strauss, complemented by the contradicting otherness of Brahms. Deep down, he was a symphonist rooted in this tradition, and under a subtle but noticeable influence from Debussy, the French master of colour, he developed a highly individual orchestration technique to communicate the essence of his musical thoughts.
So unique was Elgar's gift for this science of orchestration that Hans Richter, the leading Viennese conductor, hailed him as "a master of the orchestra". Indeed, Elgar's orchestrations breathe, reflect, ripple and quibble, transporting the music in majestic waves unlike anybody else's. He applied his technique as precisely as Richard Strauss, but also allowed himself to be carried away, to feel every colour and shade. Thus, he constantly renewed his style from work to work.
So why has his work fallen into such disfavour abroad? I can't help but wonder if recordings of Elgar's music by the great British conductors have inadvertently led to this sad fate, whether Sargent's heavy sentimentality, Boult's stoic stodginess or Barbirolli's operatic fury were inappropriate starting points. I feel the greatest respect towards these musicians, but I believe that in letting their own personalities preside over Elgar's they did a disservice to his music.
A very different picture emerges if you listen to Elgar's recordings of his own performances that the early era of the gramophone has blessed us with. It is often said that composers are never the best exponents of their own music. I would agree with that notion from a listener's perspective, but from a performer's viewpoint, it would be a mistake not to listen to Shostakovich's or Bartok's own piano playing, or to Stravinsky conducting his own works. These documents, however imperfect, give us clues to these composers' way of being, living and breathing and offer invaluable insights into the priorities in their music-making.
In Elgar's case, these documents are most revelatory because in every single case they present a unified image of his conducting: fleet and flowing, very focused on the overall musical line, subtle in colours, impulsive and elusive - not at all what emerges under other, later batons.
I quite often hear British people say in an almost fatalistic tone: "Elgar's music doesn't travel very well." Apart from the few obvious hits, such as the Enigma Variations and the Cello Concerto, Elgar's major works remain relatively obscure to central European, American and Japanese audiences. That is not dissimilar to how my countryman Sibelius's music was received two decades ago; but then Sibelius always had strong if small pockets of champions and supporters even in Germany and Austria, the two countries most hostile to his music, and now in the 21st century even seems to be turning the corner permanently.
None of this for Elgar - he remains almost inexplicably ignored everywhere - a paradox for all those who would agree with my view that Elgar's sources of inspiration were solidly European.
I believe the problems with Elgar's reception abroad lie partly in the view that Europeans, and to some extent Americans, have come to hold about the English, especially their upper classes. Somehow, in the eyes of these foreigners, the composer of Land of Hope and Glory has ended up as a representative of those classes, and so embodies all the cliches that they see as undesirable in the English: isolationism, dullness, that stiff upper lip and emotional constipation. What an extraordinarily ironic fate for this deeply romantic son of a piano-tuner.
Those Britons who love and cherish their Elgar are very important, but what his music now needs are high-profile foreign champions and exponents, both among performers and scholars. I firmly believe that the only way for Elgar's music to survive internationally is to free it from the burdens of its past performance traditions.
How about a biennial Elgar festival where most of the performers come from outside Britain? The idea might seem wacky, but the Sibelius festival of Helsinki did just that in the early 1960s. High-profile visitors such as the Berlin Philharmonic under Karajan, the BBC Symphony under Sargent, Sir Thomas Beecham, Serge Koussevitsky, Jascha Horenstein and many others came to Helsinki to perform Sibelius and, until 1957, paid their tributes to the ageing master at his home in Jarvenpaa. This tradition helped Sibelius into the international domain, and that is what Elgar now badly needs.
In my time as music director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, we have taken Elgar's music all over Europe. For instance, we have performed the essentially Catholic oratorio The Dream of Gerontius in three predominantly Protestant European cities and have each time been met with the same amazement: standing ovations in reformist Amsterdam and Lutheran Helsinki; even predominantly atheist Berlin was appreciative. The recurring message has been: is Elgar really like this?
In this way, the CBSO pays continuous tribute to the great composer who in 1920 conducted its inaugural concert. More British musicians and organisations should be proud of their own musical traditions and bold in promoting them. Only then can the musical present and future be built on firm foundations.

Oxides of nitrogen cause air pollution. Describe the sources of these compounds.
No. 9. Oxides of nitrogen cause air pollution. Describe the sources of these compounds.
Answer. Combustion of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines, in thermal power stations and factories where huge amount of coal is burnt, NO is formed by the direct combination of nitrogen and oxygen as shown in figure.
N2 + O2 2NO
However, it quickly reacts with air to form nitrogen dioxide. NO is highly toxic gas.
2NO + O2 2NO2
Nitrogen in the air is normally
unreactive
Formation of NO & NO2 on combustion of fossil fuel and causing air
Pollution.
Mixture of these gases represented as NOX enter in the air through automobile exhaust and chimneys of thermal power station
and factories. It irritates breathing passage.
No.10. What is the main cause of air pollution? Explain the role of Government to control the pollution.
Answer. Causing air pollution through auto exhaust is almost the most common air polluting act which an average driven commits daily for hours without considering its consequences. One is poisoning the air, creating a big problem that has local, regional and global effects.
Government should do short term as well as long term planning to preserve the natural world. Because without a healthy natural environment, there will be no healthy human, plant, or animal.
(i) First of .all quality of fuel must be improved by adding anti-knocking agents in fuels. At the same time, automobiles combustion engines must be efficient so that they should burn the fuel completely. No unburned hydrocarbon molecules (fuel) should come out of the exhaust. The hydrocarbons present in polluted air are very harmful They can cause liver damage and even cancer. So government must guide the people to use converters in auto exhausts.
(ii) Fossil fuels produce a number of air pollutants because of impurities and complex molecule nature of hydrocarbons. Government should promote the use of alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol and bio-diesel. These fuels are less polluting than hydrocarbons fuel, as their molecules are simple, and burn completely in the engine. Their burning produces less carbon monoxide, soot and other pollutants"
(iii) The government must plan to avoid using carbon dioxide producing fuels as it is a greenhouse gas. It should go to battery-powered electric vehicles.
(iv) Government should provide efficient transport in the big cities, so that people should avoid using their own vehicles.

Compounds of sulphur are air pollutants. Describe the sources of these compounds along with their effects.

Rome City Schools donates medical supplies
March 24, 2020–5:38 a.m.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change the daily lives for those all over the world, stories of people coming together in this time of crisis continue to deliver hope and inspiration to us all. Members of the Rome City Schools family have worked tirelessly to take every precaution passed down from the CDC, and are still finding ways to serve and unite our community.
One prominent issue since the beginning of the outbreak has been the shortage of medical supplies, specifically personal protection equipment or PPE. Holly Amerman, CTAE Director for Rome City Schools, received an email from the Department of Education asking CTAE Directors across the state to see what medical supplies their institutions might have available and to contact local healthcare providers to see what was needed. Holly and her colleagues rallied the troops quickly and took action.
"I received the email from the Department of Education last Friday and immediately reached out to my contact at Floyd Hospital, Chris Butler to see what they could use," said Amerman. "The answer was yes to everything we had on hand so we didn't waste any time getting it together."
Between Rome High School and Rome Middle School, there are four healthcare programs that require CPR certifications, simulations, dissections and other labs in which these PPE items are used by the students. Luckily, both the middle and high schools had plenty on hand and after a joint effort between Mrs. Amerman and countless others, more than 30,000 gloves, 3,000 masks, 1,000 gowns, and countless wipes and other materials were collected and donated.
The efforts didn't stop with what the schools had in stock however, as Amerman and her team coordinated communication with RCS parents asking that they also donate any extra supplies they might have in their homes.
"Our community has been so supportive during this crisis," said Amerman. "We already have families coming by our campuses to pick up meals, so we asked people with supplies that they would be willing to donate to drop them off at those feeding sites. With these items in such short supply, every little bit helps. Every mask, gown, or set of gloves that we can donate helps medical professionals fight the spread of this virus."
With the supplies delivered and distributed, Amerman expressed her gratefulness for the opportunity to do what she can to help.
"This is a hard time for everyone, so lending a hand is something I think most people are eager to do. My kids were excited just to come help load the car and deliver the items, and that sense of purpose is helpful in so many ways during this period of isolation. It feels good to be able to contribute and I'm glad we were able to deliver items that are so desperately needed."

Q: How can I append the same element several times in python? I am creating a GUI with NUMBER of line edits. However, to get the text that is written in them I tried to make a list of LineEdits and append/add a LineEdit element to the list for each iteration.
Then I tried to add the current item to the layout and when pushing continue be able to change the NAME_LIST to the rename lineEdits.
I have tried to written out the length of the self.lineEditRename and it seems as the same item cannot be appended several times. Is this right, and how can I get around this?
I get this error when I run the file..
layout.addWidget(self.lineEditRename[i],2,i)
IndexError: list index out of range

please help:)
# NAME LIST
self.NAME_LIST = []
for i in range(0, NUMBER):
    self.NAME_LIST.append("NUMBER: "+ str(i))

for i in range(0,NUMBER+1):
            print(i)
            if (i==0):
                layout.addWidget(QtWidgets.QLabel("Rename: "),2,i))
            else:
                layout.addWidget(QtWidgets.QLabel(self.NAME_LIST[i-1]),0,i)
                self.lineEditRename = [QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self), QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self)]
                self.lineEditRename.append(QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self))
                layout.addWidget(self.lineEditRename[i-1],2,i)

self.QContinueButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Continue")
self.QContinueButton.clicked.connect(lambda: self.windowtwo(NUMBER))
layout.addWidget(self.QContinueButton,10,2)

def windowtwo(self, NUMBER):
        for i in range(1,NUMBER+1):
            print(self.lineEditRename[i].text())
            self.NAME_LIST[i-1]=self.lineEditRename[i].text()
        self.switch_window.emit()

A: Your issue is because of this line self.lineEditRename = [QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self), QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self)]. The length of self.lineEditRename will always be 3 so as soon as i becomes 3, you will get a IndexError: list index out of range.
Did you mean to do this instead:
self.lineEditRename = [QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self), QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self)]
for i in range(0,NUMBER+1):
    print(i)
    if (i==0):
        layout.addWidget(QtWidgets.QLabel("Rename: "),2,i))
    else:
        layout.addWidget(QtWidgets.QLabel(self.NAME_LIST[i-1]),0,i)
        self.lineEditRename.append(QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self))
        layout.addWidget(self.lineEditRename[i],2,i)

The best boil treatment is to clean up the entire body.
When the diet consists of a lot of junk food or is high in sugars and carbohydrates, it creates a lot of toxins.
The result? These toxins try to exit the body any way they can. Pushing through hair follicles and out through the surface of the skin is one of the favorite ways.
Until you can get your internal house in order, though, you'll need some home remedies to take care of those painful boils.
This is probably one of the more popular home remedies for boils. Many a grandmother used this multi-purpose poultice when treating boils.
This poultice will cool the boil and soothe the pain until the boil comes to a head.
Peel and grate a raw Irish (white) potato.
Place over inflamed area for 20 minutes, pressing lightly to maintain contact with the boil.
If a follicle becomes infected, wipe the area with alcohol, then pull the hair out with tweezers. If you have any lavender essential oil, putting a drop on this will help kill the infection.
NOTE: Always clean the area with alcohol before you try to squeeze the pus out of the boil. Also clean anything you might be using to do this. (Needles, tweezers, etc...) Why? When you squeeze anything that's infected, it can push the infection back into the blood stream and be transported to other parts of the body.
Lavender has been cherished for centuries for its therapeutic benefits. The Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for mummification, bathing, relaxation, perfume, and its ability to calm the mind and body. Lavender Oil is frequently used to soothe skin irritations and help skin recover quickly.

Alternating moist heat with cold can make a nice, soothing boil treatment that both treats the boil and relieves the pain.
This is also a good treatment to speed healing of the skin after a boil has burst and drained.
Just as above, clean the open skin well with rubbing alcohol before beginning the compresses.
Make a hot compress by moistening a small towel with very hot tap water and wringing it out.
Alternatively, moisten the towel, wring it out, and then heat it for 30 to 45 seconds on HIGH in the microwave. CAUTION: It may not feel very hot on the outside, but when you unfold this towel it can be EXTREMELY hot on the inside.
Place this compress over the boil for 3 minutes. Cover with a dry towel to keep heat in.
If the hot compress is too hot to place on bare skin, lay a thin cloth over the boil (a cotton or knit shirt, in a single layer should do it), and then place the compress on the boil.
Remove and replace with an ice pack for 30 seconds. Again, with a piece of cloth between skin and cold compress if the compress is too cold.
Repeat this procedure for 20-30 minutes.
Stir the water and rubbing alcohol together. Pour into the freezer bag. Make sure the bag is tightly closed. Put in freezer. This mixture will get super cold, but won't get hard, just mushy -- perfect for a mold-able ice pack.
NOTE: Clearly mark the bag to prevent anyone from eating or drinking the contents. Be safe and take care of yourself and others.
Detoxing the digestive system should be started immediately. Also, eliminating junk food and adding fresh fruits and veggies to your diet is important.
In order to cure boils, these types of lifestyle changes need to be made.
If not, you'll continue to have problems, because the poisons that cause boils will always be in your body.
A good treatment for boils would be a detox drink consisting of water with a few drops of lemon and peppermint essential oils. This starts a safe, healthy continuous body cleanse.
It's important to keep the inside of the body as toxin-free as possible. Diseases of all kinds have been linked back to a toxic digestive tract.
The peppermint plant is actually a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753. A high menthol content like that found in the doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil distinguishes the best quality Peppermint Oil from other products.
Order doTERRA Peppermint Oil by clicking on the image or the link below the image.
Lemon is a powerful cleansing agent. When added to water, Lemon provides a refreshing and healthy boost throughout the day.
Due to its high limonene content, Lemon is a powerful antioxidant that can help ward off free radicals. Taken internally, Lemon provides cleansing and digestive benefits.

Everybody wants a safe, clean environment. And no one wants it more than than new parents. As physicians we regularly use soaps, cleansers, and sterilizing agents in our hospitals and clinics, so we know a thing or two about keeping things clean. And what we've learned in our practices influence the decisions we make about cleaners in our home and with our children.
First, dirt don't hurt - well not necessarily. Bacteria is all around us. There's simply no escaping it. In fact, our bodies need a certain amount of 'good' bacteria to stay healthy and to help our immune system defend against 'bad', or pathogenic, bacteria. Babies need a slow, steady exposure to these environmental bacteria to build a strong, healthy immune system for the long term. So keep clean, but there is generally no need to try to maintain a sterile environment.
Second, when it comes to cleaning, keep it simple. One of the first lessons in medical school was that, 'The solution to pollution is dilution'. In other words, the best way to prevent the spread of germs is with diligent washing of hands and other surfaces. Bacteria cells need large numbers to grow, spread, and cause infection. A healthy dose of soap and water literally washes those bacteria away, diluting their numbers, and preventing their ability to spread.
Third, not all chemical cleaning agents are created equal. In recent years, chemical cleaners in the forms of wipes, sprays, and gels have added convenience to our lives. But that convenience comes at a cost. Certain chemical agents actually stimulate the bacteria to adapt, breeding more resistant strains that are often more difficult to kill. Some of these chemical agents may, themselves, be harmful and in many case there is no evidence to show that these agents work any better than plain old soap and water.
Growing concern regarding chemical cleansers recently led the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to order that manufacturers to remove 19 such ingredients found in consumer antiseptic hand and body washes. The most common of these is triclosan, found in almost all liquid products labeled "antibacterial" or "antimicrobial." The targeted ingredients won't be banned from all products however, and may still be found in hand sanitizers and wipes, toothpaste, and antibacterial soap used in hospitals and food settings.
We recommend that if you do need to use a chemical cleaner or hand sanitizer (because no soap and water is available) that you follow the recommendation of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and use alcohol-based products that contain at least 60% alcohol. Alcohol based cleaners are more natural, less likely to irritate the skin, highly effective, and do not promote bacterial resistance.

What the @#$%&! Is a Grawlix?
CSA Images / Getty Images
An Introduction to Punctuation
Richard Nordquist
English and Rhetoric Professor
Ph.D., Rhetoric and English, University of Georgia
M.A., Modern English and American Literature, University of Leicester
B.A., English, State University of New York
Dr. Richard Nordquist is professor emeritus of rhetoric and English at Georgia Southern University and the author of several university-level grammar and composition textbooks.
The term grawlix refers to the series of typographical symbols (such as @#$%&!) used in cartoons and comic strips to represent swear words. Plural: grawlixes.
Also known as jarns, nittles, and obscenicons, grawlixes usually appear in maledicta balloons alongside the comic characters who are uttering the oaths. The term grawlix was introduced by American comic artist Mort Walker (creator of Beetle Bailey) in the article "Let's Get Down to Grawlixes" (1964) and revisited in his book The Lexicon of Comicana (1980).
Examples and Observations
Mort Walker
"It started out as a joke for the National Cartoonists Society magazine. I spoofed the tricks cartoonists use, like dust clouds when characters are running or lightbulbs over their heads when they get an idea. My son Brian thought I should expand the idea and make a book of it. I spent many hours at the museum going over old cartoons and recording their 'language.' I created pseudoscientific names for each cartoon cliché, like the sweat marks cartoon characters radiate. I called them 'plewds,' after the god of rain, 'Joe Pluvius.' I considered it a humor book. When it came out, I looked for it in the humor section of a bookstore and finally found it in Art Instruction. I inquired and they said, 'What's funny about it?' I said, 'The names.' They said, 'We didn't know what those things were called.' I said, 'They weren't called anything till I called them that.' It was another case of satire falling flat. I gave up and am selling it now as an instruction book."
–Mort Walker's Private Scrapbook. Andrews McMeel, 2000
Bill Schmalz
"The symbols that work best [for grawlixes] are those that fill up space: @, #, $, %, and &. Hyphens, plus signs, asterisks, and carets (^) leave too much white space within the body of the grawlix for it to look like a single word. Wiktionary recommends @#$%& as the standard grawlix. This uses the five beefiest symbols in the order they appear on an American keyboard. (If you curse with a British accent, try @#£%&.)... Because it represents words spoken in anger or excitement, the grawlix should always end with an exclamation mark, even if it's an interrogative grawlix: @#$%&?! Finally, as a word of caution, you should reserve your use of grawlixes for emails to close friends. Grawlixes are highly inappropriate for professional writing."
–The Architects Guide to Writing: For Design and Construction Professionals. Images, 2014
Shirrel Rhoades
"Cartoonist Mort Drucker [sic] invented an entire lexicon to describe such symbols.
"'Emanata' are lines drawn around the head to indicate shock or surprise. 'Grawlixes' are those typographical symbols that stand for profanities. 'Agitrons' are wiggly lines around a character to indicate shaking. 'Plewds' are sweat drops that convey worry. 'Squeans' are tiny starbursts or circles that represent intoxication or dizziness. 'Solrads' are lines that radiate from a light bulb or the sun to indicate luminosity. And so on. A language all its own."

Social Policy Development and the Role of Gender
Social Policy Frameworks
A social policy framework is considered as a guide towards a direction in which a given group of people intends to move. The frameworks define personalities, attitudes and beliefs within a social system, for which they are willing to fight and protect at a cost. According to Agyepong & Adjei (2008) posited that the development of social policy frameworks should be in consideration of various factors, key of which is the environmental context within which the framework is to be established. The environment can be political and apolitical and the manner in which the policy creator manages relationships can make the different between success and failure. Social policy framework development does not depend on situational aspects at the time of development but rather on the intended long term effects of the created outcomes. In most cases, gender considerations are at the core of all social policy frameworks and finding a way in which gender roles can be incorporated into the social policy frameworks can help to manage the process of implementation more effectively.
While developing a social policy framework the principles of such frameworks could be the first to be considered. Advocacy strategies have to be e developed based on the principles under consideration. For instance, enhancing democracy may be relevant to a large extent where there limited number of people than where the stakeholders are many. Getting the achievable objectives begins with a consideration of the principle of getting universal access to social resources. All the populations of the targeted by the policy framework should be able to access basic education, basic healthcare services, safe drinking water, reproductive healthcare services, and clean sanitation services amongst others (Agyepong & Adjei, 2008). Developing policy frameworks that take this into consideration, or in which the provision of universal social services for all is a key concern, adheres to international development goals for the future.
A good social policy framework would also be founded on the principle that all men and women should have decent working conditions devoid of discrimination or any form of mistreatment. They should also be able to have sustainable livelihoods through provision of employment and enough income for basic sustenance. As much as provision of basic social services is important, it is also essential that citizens or those affected by the social policy frameworks under consideration should be able to take care of themselves and their families continuously. Some of the common societal problems center on poverty and unemployment, which are drivers of ill health, drug and substance abuse and crime. Any social policy framework developed in any of the important areas of education, health and security should therefore emphasize the importance of employment and good remuneration for the tasks people perform. The Overseas Development Institute (2000) described income and employment as the central social concerns, through which people get access to other social services across different federal zones.
Similarly, promoting social protection systems would be considered a guiding principle in the development of social policy frameworks. A good social policy is one which considers security as central to the efficacy of social policy as a whole. It is thus one that safeguards the populations against shocks in the social environment. In the contemporary social systems especially within developing countries, the bulk of the population does not enjoy the benefits of social protection services. On the contrary, formal protection systems are only availed to those who are at the upper end of the societal caste. The rest of the people get their protection from family and friends who strengthen the effectiveness of social welfare across countries. Providing social protection at the societal level eliminates the concept of permanent dependency and also strengthens the local livelihood of the citizens. Overseas Development Institute (2000) opines that the performance of social policy initiative depends on the level of dependency in the society. A good social policy framework stipulates the process through which social protection systems would operate.
In addition to the aforementioned, another principle that has to be considered in the development of a social policy framework is that of fostering social integration. In the social systems, diversity is one of the key attributes of the members. As such, getting a system through which the integration of members can be achieved is paramount in ensuring that the social groupings achieve their objectives. Unification of purpose is a prerequisite for effective performance in whatever dimension a group is to be evaluated in (Overseas Development Institute, 2000). Integration helps in the social system to enhance safety, promote stability and push for justice. Furthermore, concepts such as gender equality and the protection of human rights are all established in integrated social systems. Through combination of objectives, the society finds out the need for improvement and the potential areas of improvement. In this way community participation in social projects is enhanced since integration enhances the possibility of united efforts towards goals achievements.
In retrospect, a good social policy framework would be one that is characterized by the four principles and effective towards its intended objective. Prior to the development of a social policy framework, the policy group should have it in mind that the resultant framework should foster the provision of access to social services, enhance employment and income prospects, foster social protection and enhance social integration. The environmental context for developing the framework contributes a lot to the characteristics of the framework and to its potential to accomplish its desired objectives. In general, the environmental context encapsulates the ideological predisposition underlying the framework's development, the expertise and training of those involved in the development, remembrance of similar commitments to a given outcome and the loyalties, personal attributes and goals of the developers (Agyepong & Adjei, 2008). The context of policy choice, which should also be considered, is described as the societal pressures resulting in the need for social policy, the economic, historical as well as the international context for policy development, the administrative capacity of the policy developers as well as other problems in policy development.
Following the consideration of principles and the environment in which a social policy framework is to be established, Gen & Wright (2013) recommend that the advocacy strategy for the policy should be aimed towards fostering a democratic environment during and after policy development, remitting the right pressure towards societal issues, directing reforms from within the society towards the needs of the community, influencing decision makers to participate in community based changes and implementing change in the society. Each of these advocacy plans helps to accomplish a different stage of the social policy framework development. This implies that neither of them is wholly effective on its own, rather, those who develop the framework should take the initiative to push through the ideologies to implementation.
Motherhood and Gender, Social Policy and Welfare
Gender roles and the society are inseparable. As a matter of fact, gender roles determine how the society achieves its reproductive, productive and community roles in different ways. Initially, a problem centered approach to social practice. This implied that most of the social policy frameworks and the welfare of the society were addressed when issues arose in each area of communal living (Hill, 2008). In the contemporary times however, this has shifted towards a strength based approach to social work. The difference between the problem based approach and the strength- based approach is that the former focuses on solving already existing problems while the latter focuses on preventing foreseeable problems from occurring. This is where gender roles come in, through which women and more specifically mothers play a crucial role in directing and controlling social policy and welfare. In their community gender based roles, women are recognized as caring, strong and compassionate hence have the power to influence not only decision makers but the society at large towards solving emerging social issues before they wreak havoc.
Motherhood helps in understanding the link between gender, social policy and welfare from the initiation stages through to the implementation of ideas. In the female reproductive role of motherhood, the society gets establishment in the other forms of gender roles. For instance, motherhood increases the population of the community. Those born, depending on their genders will be able to adapt to any of the social roles in the community. Women therefore contribute indirectly to all the decision making in relation to gender roles and subsequently on the social policy and welfare issues in the society. As explained by Ennser –Jedenastik (2011), women are compassionate and caring. These attributes are even stronger in those who have accomplished the motherhood role of feminism. On the other hand, social policy areas which are considered to be at the heart of the state such as education, healthcare and social protection have essentially female traits. For instance, the healthcare sector has many facilities which consider compassion and care as some of the core organizational values. This implies that women, can either participate directly in the policy areas that require those traits or indirectly through their influence on their children. Moreover, the perfect fit between state policy areas and the female attributes makes it easier for women to consider the societal welfare and to come up with social policies that promote the welfare of entire communities.
Naldini (2011) purports that the role of women in the society, is originally based on the traditional gendered role definitions. Although the society has changed significantly in terms of gender equality and social reforms, the women, through their motherhood roles, still play a crucial part of their traditional functions in the society. The care and well being of the society exemplifies their position with regards to requiring social integration, social protection and access to social services for their children and others. The fact that the roles of women have only slightly changed from the traditional outlook implies that the nurturing and guiding role of parenthood, which is associated with women can be replicated at the community level as the mothers engage in community centered projects. The shift in roles has been from the smaller family unit to the larger community based organizations and groupings. Gender plays an important role in the development of such community policies as more women included results in the accomplishment of more tangible results as long as the social policy frameworks align to universal rights and to principles of justice.
The third consideration as to how women contribute to social policy and welfare discussions in the society is on decision making and strong will. Ennser – Jedenastik (2011) reported that women were more strong willed and decisive in their operational activities. In most cases, social policy issues require hands- on strategy to be able to see through. Similarly, some of the social welfare issues that are common in the present days require a strong advocacy strategy that entails persuasion of decision makers, application of pressure to the public and other activities as described by Gen & Wright (2013). Persuasion in this regard is a more female oriented role than a role for men. From a policy document, it is easy for women to influence decision makers due to their compassionate nature. They are also at the heart of their society due to their mothering and nurturing role therein. For these reasons, gender plays a strategic role in the development of social policy frameworks as well as in the implementation (Newman & White, 2012). Any social system that desires to grow beyond its conceptual boundaries engages more women in the decision making processes, not as a matter of law but because of their strong will and tenacity in addressing social issues.
Gender roles contribute immensely in the institution of social policies, addressing social concerns and managing societal expectations in terms of welfare and social roles. The distinctive features of women and mothers by extension, makes it possible for them to influence social decision making activities. It is therefore important to practice gender inclusion in social policy development.

Robert Hanbury Brown
British astronomer and physicist
This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Hanbury Brown, not Brown.

Robert Hanbury Brown, AC FRS[1] (31 August 1916 – 16 January 2002) was a British astronomer and physicist born in Aruvankadu, India. He made notable contributions to the development of radar and later conducted pioneering work in the field of radio astronomy.
With Richard Q. Twiss he developed the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect leading to the creation of intensity interferometers. Hanbury Brown was one of the main designers of the Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer and received a number of honours and awards for his work.
4 Honours and awards
Early years[edit]
Hanbury Brown was born in Aruvankadu, the Nilgiris, British India in 1916, the son of an army officer. At age 8 he was sent to England to attend Cottesmore preparatory school in Hove, where he was educated in primarily non-scientific subjects. In 1930, at age 14, Hanbury Brown went on to attend Tonbridge School in Kent for only two years before changing to Brighton Technical College. Though originally planning to become a classics scholar, the change to a technical college came due to influences from those around him. His grandfather, Sir Robert Hanbury Brown, K.C.M.G., a notable irrigation engineer, was also one of the early pioneers of radio, and following Hanbury Brown's parents' divorce, his legal guardian was a consulting radio engineer. At Brighton Technical College, Hanbury Brown studied for an external Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of London, which he received at the age of 19. At this time he also published his first paper, 'Lamp polar curves on the cathode-ray oscillograph'.[2][3]
Career[edit]
Though initially planning to study for a Ph.D. at Imperial College, London, Hanbury Brown drew the attention of Henry Tizard. Tizard recruited Hanbury Brown to work for what would become the Telecommunications Research Establishment on Chain Home in 1936, where he worked until 1942; after this he spent 3 years in Washington, D.C. to work with the Combined Research Group at the Naval Research Laboratory developing the Rebecca/Eureka transponding radar which he and John William Sutton Pringle originally invented.[3][4] By 1947 a consultancy that had been set up by Sir Robert Watson-Watt, the father of radar, offered more interesting prospects for the conversion of wartime developments into peacetime technologies. Hanbury Brown was recruited and worked as a consulting engineer until Watson-Watt moved the firm to Canada. After considering his career possibilities, Hanbury Brown joined Bernard Lovell's radio astronomy group at the University of Manchester in 1949 to work on his PhD.[3]
At the University of Manchester, Hanbury Brown worked with Cyril Hazard to modify the 218-ft radio telescope built for the study of cosmic rays into a fully functioning radio telescope.[2] Using it they showed, among other things, that radio waves were being emitted from the Andromeda Galaxy; proving that such emissions were not just from our own galaxy. After completion of the Lovell Telescope Hanbury was among those who used it to discover quasars.[4]
Hanbury Brown is primarily known for his work on interferometry, in particular the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect which led to intensity interferometers.[2] Despite opposition from some in the scientific community who argued that his predictions violated the laws of physics, Hanbury Brown and Twiss showed that their theory was correct through a number of observations.[4]
In 1962 Hanbury Brown moved to Australia to work at the University of Sydney. There he built his next interferometer – the Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer – in a sheep paddock outside Narrabri in New South Wales, consisting of two 23 ft telescopes.[4] Using it, Hanbury Brown succeeded in measuring the diameters of 32 stars, thus producing the first empirical temperature scale for hot stars.[2] Despite only aiming to stay in Australia for two years, he stayed for a total of 27; going on to receive the Companion of the Order of Australia honour in 1986 for his work.[2]
Hanbury Brown married Heather Hilda Chesterman in 1952 with whom he had one daughter and two sons (twins).[3] He was rumoured to have prompted the term boffin.[2][failed verification]
Brown died in Andover, Hampshire on 16 January 2002.[3]
Honours and awards[edit]
He won the Fernand Holweck Medal and Prize in 1959. In March 1960 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and in 1971 was awarded their Hughes Medal for " his efforts in developing the optical stellar intensity interferometer and for his observations of Spica".[5] In 1968, he received the Eddington Medal jointly with Twiss (see Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect). He also won the Thomas Ranken Lyle Medal of the Australian Academy of Science in 1972.[6] In 1982 he was named President of the International Astronomical Union, a title he retained until the end of his term in 1985. In 1986 he was appointed Companion of the Order of Australia. He was awarded the Albert A. Michelson Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1982, jointly with Richard Q. Twiss[7] and the Matthew Flinders Medal and Lecture the same year.[8]
Publications[edit]
He wrote an autobiographical account of the development of airborne and ground-based radar, and his subsequent work on radio astronomy. Since he was rumoured to have been the original boffin who inspired the term, he called these recollections Boffin: A Personal Story of the Early Days of Radar, Radio Astronomy and Quantum Optics

Mizzou 50: 1994 brought the start of the Larry Smith years
By 1994, the Omniturf era at Faurot Field, mostly known for bad field conditions and bad football teams, was mercifully nearing its end. In 1992, Big Eight Conference coaches issued a statement that included the phrase, "Big Eight Conference football coaches wanted to report that the football field at the University of Missouri is a detriment to the home and visiting teams and takes away from the integrity of the game played on such a field." Ouch.
The Rolling Stones performed at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 18, 1994, before 45,000 people. The concert raised almost $100,000 for stadium upgrades that would include a switch from Omniturf back to natural grass for the 1995 season.
Missouri had a new coach for that final Omniturf year, 1994. Larry Smith was the latest man brought to Columbia to try to bring the program back to life after an ever-increasing malaise, which had reached a decade by the time he arrived.
Smith had previously coached USC to three Rose Bowls, winning one, a pretty good resume for a coach coming to a program in the state Missouri was in. Smith had been fired after a Freedom Bowl loss to Fresno State, but he at least had some intriguing past results.
Missouri was a rebuild, however, and the Tigers opened the 1994 season with a 20-17 loss to a not-great Tulsa team. Then came a 42-0 beatdown at Illinois that dropped Missouri to 0-2.
On Sept. 17, three days after that Rolling Stones concert in Columbia, Missouri played Houston in the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Astrodome. It was a small crowd, 18,310, but it was a game in an iconic venue. Playing a Houston Cougars team that would finish near the bottom of the SWC and would get left out of the Big 12 Conference shuffle, Missouri won 16-0. Larry Smith's first Missouri win came in the Astrodome.
The Tigers then lost two home games, 34-10 to West Virginia and 38-23 to No. 5 Colorado. The Buffaloes would go 11-1 and win the Fiesta Bowl that season, only losing to Nebraska.
Missouri was now 1-4, but the Tigers went to Stillwater and beat Oklahoma State 24-15.
Then came an Oct. 22 home game with No. 3 Nebraska. Missouri was a huge underdog. The Tigers had produced a lot of scrappy efforts and close games against outstanding Husker teams, but this was lopsided. The Huskers, barreling toward their third national title, and their first in two successful decades under Tom Osborne, won 42-7. Osborne would finally get that elusive ring with a 24-17 Orange Bowl win over Miami, in which the Huskers surged back in the fourth quarter to get the win.
Missouri bounced back from the loss to the Huskers with a 34-20 win at Iowa State, but then lost 30-13 at Oklahoma.
Missouri hosted No. 11 Kansas State on Nov. 12. The Wildcats were on the rise under Bill Snyder, having only lost to the elite Nebraska and Colorado teams that season. It was a close one, but K-State won 21-18.
The following week, Nov. 19, was Senior Day in Columbia, the final game on the Omniturf at Faurot Field, against Kansas. It was probably fitting, but Missouri closed out that era with a loss, 31-14, to the Jayhawks. The Tigers began and ended the Omniturf decade with winless home seasons, and their final record on the surface was 20-38-3.
But Missouri had one more game, at Hawaii. Playing in Aloha Stadium, it probably felt like a bowl trip for a program that hadn't made one in a long time. Missouri and Hawaii tied 32-32, the last tie in Mizzou football history, as new overtime rules were coming soon.
The Tigers finished the season 3-8-1, another tough season in a sea of them. Quarterback Jeff Handy had completed his eligibility, so the rebuild would have to include replacing the school's all-time leading passer at the time. As Smith headed to year 2, there weren't a lot of tangible signs of hope. The conference title drought also hit 25 years that fall.

Karla Jay is a lesbian feminist activist, author, and former professor of English at Pace University (New York). The collection contains correspondence, typescripts, and other items chiefly documenting Jay's work as a professor of English and as author and coeditor of books on the experiences of lesbians and gay men. The bulk of the collection pertains to her work as a writer and academic and includes some documentation of her activities as a pioneer feminist and lesbian activist with the consciousness raising group Redstockings and the Gay Liberation Front. The correspondence includes letters from many prominent writers and gay and lesbian rights activists, her literary agent, publishers, contributors to her anthologies, and alternative presses, as well as with academic and professional organizations. The collection also includes typescript drafts of the text of The Gay Report (which she co-authored with Allen Young) and the questionnaires returned by lesbian respondents; drafts of Jay's dissertation and other writings; slides; and audio recordings, chiefly of interviews with Jay or conducted by her from the 1970s to the 1990s. Interviewees include Rita Mae Brown, Andrea Dworkin, Jeanette Foster, Barbara Grier, Jill Johnston, and Anaïs Nin. less
