Attention Perception and Social Cognition: Bridging the Gap Between the Physical and Perceived
Bobby Nisha (University of Sheffield, UK)
Source Title: Handbook of Research on Perception-Driven Approaches to Urban Assessment and Design
Perception is the basis of being human. It warrants everything we know and everything there is to be known. This chapter explores the perceptual system that leads to the exploration and interpretation of qualities of urban space. The chapter challenges the disciplinary tradition of regarding perception and cognition as being one and establishes that systems of perception and cognition play an equally important role to enable this construct of 'place'. By means of an inter-disciplinary review and knowledge transfer, the chapter reimagines the dimension of perceptual simulation in urban design by constructing a process map to understand the complexity of the workflow from subjective perception to social cognition. The chapter further advocates the need for design to incorporate cognitive affordances to better shape physical reality. The process map and framework is intended as a reference for understanding sensory stimuli in urban design practice to aid efficacy and to reinstate the importance in recreating and bridging the physical and perceived realities.
Urban Design has long been concerned with the psychological construct and perception of space. While perception deals with the multiple means by which people sense information from their surrounding environment; cognition, the psychological construct of that information deals with how the information is identified, organised and interpreted. Psychology transacts these two concepts as independent faculties that exert influence on one another. The tradition of Design as a discipline to understand people's perception with regards to their environmental experience has not acknowledged the nature of these individual systems and explicitly interrogated how perceptual representations and cognitive representations interact; and have been more inclined to argue against the existence of this bifurcation (Gieseking et al, 2014). Understanding the analogies between sensory perception and cognition from the spatial dynamics point of view is hence under explored. The systems of perception and cognition play an equally important role to enable a construct of 'place'. While the importance and the need for design to incorporate perceptual simulation to better shape physical reality is established with interdisciplinary work in ecological psychology and environmental psychology. It is paramount that some basic assumptions and disciplinary divides that currently exist are inquired systematically and bridged to enable a more holistic approach to the creation of desirable urban futures.
The concept of affordance as explained by Neisser (1994) distinguishes three modes of perception: Direct perception/action, that enables perception and action effectively on the environment; Interpersonal perception/reactivity, that which triggers social interactions with other users, and Representation/recognition, by which we identify and respond appropriately to familiar objects and situations. Spatial perception theories have not engaged with the modes of perception and concept of affordances in design stimuli. Thus a holistic approach to urban design is needed to positively reinforce the potentials of urban perceptual simulation. This requires an understanding of the relationship between people and place from both the modes of perception and cognition. Methodological investigation of the perceptual and cognitive process is needed to establish an informed approach to simulation of places through design. This chapter responds to this identified theoretical gap and aims to bring together the different disciplinary understandings on perception and cognition, its relationship, and map the dynamics of interaction between the two to further stretch its understanding to inform the relationship dynamics between people and place.
The chapter provides an interdisciplinary inquiry into theories of perception and cognition in disciplines of psychology, philosophy, Neuroscience, and, looks into concepts of affordance, perceptible, percept and socio-cultural schemas that form the building blocks of the interaction between the physical and perceived world. The chapter further illustrates the relationship between urban structural components and perception that lead to cognitive comprehension. The understandings that emerge from the review are presented as a process framework that embeds the spatial determinants of perception. The proposed framework reimagines the dimension of perceptual simulation in urban design by providing a conceptual and operational mapping of perception as a process. The proposed framework is intended as a reference for understanding sensory stimuli in urban design practice to aid efficacy and to reinstate the importance in recreating and bridging the people/place relationship. In place making, promoting people/place relationship can contribute to increased sense of belonging, social integration, cohesion, and inclusion.

Building stronger Airmen through Resiliency Total Force Partnerships
By Master Sgt. Ogle, 718 IS, and Maj. John T. Stamm, 655 ISRW Public Affairs, 655th Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing / Published July 26, 2019
Members of the 655th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Wing, 718th Intelligence Squadron, display their esprit de corps during "Warrior Day" activities June 1, 2019. Academic activities and physical/mental challenges tested team-working abilities and enhanced resiliency skills. (Courtesy Photo)
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio --
The stress of performing operations for an extended time, frequent deployments and exposure to extreme violence eventually takes a toll on Airmen. The 655th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Wing, 718th Intelligence Squadron, makes taking care of Airmen a priority, providing services and events designed to discuss and actively participate in team resilience training.
The 718th logged 139,000 mission hours since 2014 as an integral part of continuous operations around the world. Because Reserve Citizen Airmen blend seamlessly with their active duty counterparts, it made sense for the unit to enlist the help of their Total Force Integration partners, the 480th ISR Wing and the 497th ISR Group, and their Airman Resiliency Teams.
ARTs, comprised of a clinical social worker, psychologist, medical team, chaplain and religious affairs assistant, aid Airmen with their physical, mental and spiritual stressors.
"It's important to consider that reservists have civilian jobs that impact their lives making it in some cases more complex," said Capt. Erick Menjivar, 497th ISRG clinical social worker. "It's easy to forget there's more there."
Occasionally, military units will step away from the everyday routine day to engage in building morale. Events provide time for leaders and Airmen to interact on a personal level, develop the relationship necessary to improve resiliency. These gatherings also provide opportunities to engage in meaningful conversation about how to cope with the challenges of balancing Reserve duty, civilian work, and personal life.
The unit held a "Warrior Day" with their TFI partners on June 1, 2019. Members participated in a "Strength Finders" seminar on how to evaluate an individual's strengths/weaknesses and apply that to improving the workplace, and a combat leadership course which taught tools to recognize distressed Airmen and assist them.
Teams relied on communication and teamwork to win assorted physical competitions and survive a land navigation exercise during a very wet winter day. They demonstrated true team resilience as they navigated the course in the pouring rain, trudging through the mud from position to position in small groups.
"The training was awesome, cold, and wet but worth it," said Senior Airman Henry, 718 IS cyber transport technician. "We boosted our team comradery and a learned a valuable life skill."
Colonel Brooks concluded the day's events by participating in a military working dog demonstration conducted by the 633th Security Forces Squadron.
"I tell the squadron that I need them physically, mentally and emotionally healthy to execute the mission," Brooks said. "If my wrestling with a military dog boosts their spirits, then it's worth it."
The 655 Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing is dedicated to serving as the premier and most diverse ISR Group in the United States Air Force, delivering timely, reliable, accurate and actionable intelligence products enabling a decision advantage over adversaries of the United States. The 655th is an independent wing under 10th Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and consists of two Groups and 14 intelligence squadrons (IS) across Ohio, California, Texas, Nebraska, Virginia, Florida and Maryland conducting 10 distinct missions. For exciting and rewarding career opportunities with the 655 ISRG, please contact your local Air Force Reserve recruiter or call 937-257-8117.

This is the fourth in a series of posts which examines the 95 Theses for an Authentically Christian Commitment to Counseling published by the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and authored by Dr. Heath Lambert. I offer this critique from my perspective as a psychology professor and mental health counselor. For prior posts in the series on the first fourteen theses, click here. Today, I examine thesis 15.
Is Jesus the Standard for Everything?
This section focuses on Jesus as a standard for Christian mental health.
Counselors require a standard to know what changes must be pursued in the lives of the troubled people they wish to help and, because the Bible portrays Jesus Christ as that perfect standard for human living, it is impossible to accomplish authentically Christian counseling without reference to him (1 John 2:5-6).
Does Lambert mean Christian counselors should always pursue change in every dimension of personality (i.e., behavioral, emotional, cognitive, moral)?
Is he referring to the outcomes of counseling? Does he mean that Christian counseling should lead to clients being perfect as Jesus is perfect?
Or does he mean that counselors should only deal with issues depicted in the Bible's accounts of the life of Jesus?
Each of these questions deserve a separate article for a full response. For the purpose of this post, I will briefly reply to each one.
Historically, counselors have debated the scope of counseling. Should counseling focus on symptom removal or on deeper personality change? Modern approaches aim for symptom relief while older approaches such as psychoanalysis focus on personality change.
I see nothing in the Bible which requires all counseling to deal with every level of human functioning. I believe counseling may properly deal with one aspect of functioning (e.g., symptom reduction versus deep personality change). In fact, Jesus at times healed diseases without any obvious attention to other areas of life. The needs of clients should guide counselors in planning their interventions.
Can We Be as Healthy as Jesus?
Is Jesus a Perfect Standard for Every Aspect of Living?
Jesus is an example of obedience to the Father, holy living, and sacrifice. He modeled a life of virtue and was the substitute for our transgressions. He is our example for moral conduct and virtuous reflection. About this, most Christians agree. However, there is much Jesus didn't cover during his short time on Earth. Jesus' teachings are the standard as far as they go.
We don't know much about the life of Jesus outside of His mission to rescue people from sin. While the New Testament speaks in general terms about the humanity of Jesus, I don't think it is possible to know with certainty what that means for mental health treatment.
Jesus didn't deal with much of what we need to know to live today. He never chose a college, a spouse, or a profession. He never invested in a retirement account or purchased insurance. He didn't play sports or watch movies. What He taught us we should emulate. However, on many aspects of human living, He offered no specific example or teaching. We must use our minds in community with others to figure out how to pursue the rest.

Burk believes Jesus did know the temptation but was unable to sin.
In September, I wrote about a controversy at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary involving the Christian psychology of Eric Johnson and the Biblical counseling of Heath Lambert. According to Johnson, his version of Christian psychology is no longer compatible with how SBTS wants counseling taught at the school. Thus, he had to step down from his position. It is not clear if he was fired or negotiated a settlement of some kind.
Offer immunity and anonymity to any and all professors who would be willing to speak with the trustees regarding this situation. Many of them know far more than we do but are terrified of speaking out for fear of ending up like Professor Johnson. Allow them to simply affirm, deny, or elaborate upon anything said in this letter without the fear of disciplinary actions.
Reconsider the silencing effects that the removal of tenure in 2014 has had up the seminary's faculty, as they have been afraid to speak up for their terminated colleague, Professor Johnson. Please take steps to reinstate tenure. Tenure ensures the continuity of an institution's identity, maintains the financial security for faculty families, and establishes boundaries that prevent the president from wrongfully firing professors. Before the removal of tenure in 2014, professors could be justifiably removed for moral or doctrinal transgression. There is no added benefit to the new faculty contract policy aside from the consolidation of power within the office of the president. The reason alumni are writing this letter is because all the faculty and staff members who contacted us were afraid that they would lose their job by speaking out.
Southern Seminary's counseling program is very important in the life of Southern Baptist Churches, as it is on the front lines of pastoral and congregational soul care. Is it in the best interest of the churches that Southern Seminary serves to train up future pastors in a monologuing counseling department? Should pastors not study under both biblical counselors and Christian psychologists as they learn how to care for the complex needs of their churches?
Ask President Mohler directly whether any ACBC-affiliate (church, person, organization) was involved in his termination of Johnson. If Mohler refuses to provide a direct "yes" or "no" answer, ask him whether or not his reluctance to speak about the termination is the result of a non-disclosure agreement. It is imperative that the truth come out so that the Seminary can move on and begin a healing and reunifying process.
Based upon the findings of the above mentioned investigations, if it is found that there was any improper conduct that led to the termination of Professor Johnson, we recommend that the Board of Trustees extend a public apology to Johnson and offer to reinstate him in his original position at Southern Seminary.
Johnson's personnel matter is wrapped up in a broader issue. Will Southern Baptist pastors be exposed to one narrow approach to counseling or will they have access to training and teaching which takes psychological insights into account? Why this matters to a broad audience is that many people go to their pastors for counseling or for recommendations for counseling. It would be tragic and potentially dangerous for pastors to refer only to Biblical counselors.
Note to the folks at SBTS, mental illness is real and the Bible doesn't say much about it. Recently, I featured representatives of Biblical counseling and Christian psychology in a discussion about a case. It was clear to me that the Biblical counseling approach left important components out. Furthermore, there are many problems in living which Scripture doesn't address.
Should Christian Counselors Talk Only About The Bible And Jesus?
If a resource is authoritative, does that make it all you need?
If a resource is authoritative, does that make it all you need? According to the 95 Theses for an Authentically Christian Commitment to Counseling, the Bible is both authoritative and sufficient for all counseling conversations. In this post, I challenge that claim.
This is the third in a series of posts which examines the 95 Theses from my perspective as a psychology professor and mental health counselor. For prior posts in the series on the first eleven theses, click here. Today, I examine statements eleven through fourteen.
What Does the Bible Claim?
11. When the Bible claims to address all the issues concerning life and godliness, it declares itself to be a sufficient and an authoritative resource to address everything essential for counseling conversations (2 Pet 1:3-4).
I covered this thesis in the last post but I want to say something else about it. There I pointed out that living a "godly life" doesn't mean the absence of emotional disturbances. A godly life is certainly possible for the person who believes God's promises, but this by itself doesn't prevent mental illness. The Bible does instruct us in moral teaching but is not a medical or psychological text. We need knowledge not contained in the Bible to provide the best care for many human problems.
One must read into these verses to say that "the Bible claims to address all the issues concerning life and godliness." One could assume that the Bible is an aspect of his divine power, but the verse doesn't limit God's divine power to the Bible. I think Biblical counselors make a claim for the Bible that it doesn't make for itself.
12. Christians must not separate the authority of Scripture for counseling from the sufficiency of Scripture for counseling because, if Scripture is to be a relevant authority, then it must be sufficient for the struggles people face as they live life in a fallen world (2 Pet 1:3-21).
13. The authority and sufficiency of Scripture for counseling means that counselors must counsel out of the conviction that the theological content of Scripture defines and directs the conversational content of counseling.
Sufficiency does not necessarily follow from authority. One may see the Bible as authoritative when it speaks but not believe it speaks about everything. There can be no doubt that the Bible doesn't speak about everything. The Bible does say some things about medical issues (e.g., Timothy was told to take a little wine for his stomach's sake, 1 Tim. 5:23), but doesn't describe brain surgery procedures or how to do a heart catheterization. Taking some wine instead of tainted water might be good advice, but it isn't sufficient for most of our other medical questions.
Does Jesus Solve Every Problem?
14. The Bible teaches that the person and work of Jesus Christ provide God's sufficient power to solve every problem of humanity so, according to Scripture, he is the ultimate subject of every counseling conversation (Col 2:2-3).
Surely, Dr. Lambert and the Biblical counselors don't mean that Jesus actually solves "every problem of humanity." A quick look around wherever you are will demonstrate that Jesus hasn't solved every human problem. One can argue that Jesus has the power to solve them all but decides not to do it, but you can't argue that all problems are solved.
Since all problems aren't in fact solved, what happens in those counseling conversations where Jesus didn't solve the problem? Do client and counselor keep talking about the power of Jesus in a theoretical sense? I can't imagine how it would be helpful to keep telling a chronically depressed person that Jesus has the power to solve every human problem, just not yours.
By analogy, one would not say Jesus is the subject of every medical visit. Most evangelicals believe Jesus could heal any illness, but that He doesn't often do so. Because we believe Jesus provides sufficient power to solve every medical problem, is it necessary for a Christian physician to make Jesus the subject of every medical conversation? Of course not, if I have a medical need, I want extra-biblical medical knowledge brought to bear on my problem along with prayer.
I am evaluating a proposal by Heath Lambert, the executive director of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, for an authentically Christian approach to counseling. Lambert listed 95 theses on the ACBC website which he believes defines an appropriate Christian method. I disagree with most of the points and am writing this series to offer another perspective.

Author Warren ThrockmortonPosted on October 3, 2017 Categories 95Theses, BCCP2017Tags 95Theses, BCCP2017Leave a comment on Should Christian Counselors Talk Only About The Bible And Jesus?
I am in the process of evaluating the 95 Theses published by the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. The first post is here. Today, I evaluate theses six through eleven. These statements seem to be key components of biblical counseling.
6. When people experience difficulties as they live in a fallen world, they require wisdom about life to help them face these problems (Prov 19:20).
7. The wisdom to confront life's difficulties is most often communicated in conversations our culture refers to as counseling.
8. The issues of concern in counseling pertain to problems people face as they relate the difficulties in their life to the faith and practice described in Scripture.
I agree that counseling conversations often relate to common problems with work and family and that clients often want advice about them. I also agree that many problems in living are illustrated in Bible stories. In these situations, Christians could be well served by getting advice from someone who has studied the Bible thoroughly and has a knack for application. However, I don't believe that all counseling problems involve requests for advice or guidance. Some relate to mental illness in self or others. I will say more about those counseling conversations below.
Furthermore, people today face problems never contemplated by people in the Bible. For instance, advice about what college to attend, what major to take, or what career to pursue, etc. are all specific issues which require specific, individualized conversations. The Bible doesn't give any specific advice about how to choose a college or academic major.
Although clients may benefit from biblical principles about decision making, a conversation about the specific college and major still requires an individualized focus which could involve various career assessments and information about occupations not mentioned in the Bible.
9. Because counseling problems concern the very same issues that God writes about in his Word, it is essential to have a conversation about the contents of the Bible to solve counseling problems.
I may not understand the meaning of this statement, but on the surface, it seems inadequate and unrealistic. Frequently, counseling problems are similar to those described in the Bible, but often they are much different. We live in a different era and culture. There are daily demands which are radically different than anything reported in the Bible.
10. The subject matter of counseling conversations is the wisdom needed to deal with life's problems, and so counseling is not a discipline that is fundamentally informed by science, but by the teaching found in God's Word.
As I demonstrated in my article on school refusal, all conversations don't require Bible knowledge in order to address the problems people bring to counseling. We could have talked about the Bible in my sessions with the school refusal family, but I can't see how it would have addressed the main reason they came to see me. On the contrary, we discussed a solution which did not come from my study of the Bible but rather my study of family systems theory. I could have consulted the Bible for days and not come up with that.
Although the case of the boy with school refusal ended well, I now realize he might have had a medical problem which triggered separation anxiety. The problem I wrote about — PANDAS — was discovered by scientists at the NIMN, not theologians in the Bible. There are many other problems which afflict humans in the mind and mood which we have come to understand through science. Counselors, biblical or otherwise, ask for trouble when research is ignored.
Through His divine power, we have the Bible (although the New Testament wasn't fully together at this time), we have the Holy Spirit and the church. These resources provide sufficient moral teaching to let us know what God requires of us. Because of those divine resources, we can have a place in God's Kingdom. This is Peter's focus in the chapter.
However, the Bible does not promise to provide the best way to assess and treat medical and mental disorders. I can't find that promise in 2 Peter or anywhere else. Those disorders are valid subjects of counseling conversations. Often with the involvement of several healthcare professionals, people find relief from these problems.
Peter promises that resources are available to live "a godly life" not a problem-free life. As a matter of experience, I have known many godly people who experience mental and emotional disorders. Godly Christians and non-Christians experience these conditions. Assertions to the contrary are contrary to reality. I believe biblical counselors who hold to thesis eleven read into 2 Peter something that wasn't intended.
The authority and sufficiency of Scripture for counseling is the key tenet of biblical counseling. There are numerous overlapping statements in the 95 Theses. I will pick up my critique of this theme in the next post.
To read all posts in the 95 Theses series, click here.
This week Tim Allchin, biblical counselor from Chicago, will help me complete the series I started on Biblical counseling v. Christian psychology (read the prior posts here). This series was triggered by the news that Christian psychologist Eric Johnson was fired/taking early retirement from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. With Johnson's departure, the seminary is committed completely to a biblical counseling model. One expression of that model can be found in a document written by Heath Lambert titled 95 Theses for an Authentically Christian Commitment to Counseling.
With this post, I want to start a new series during which I will critique one or more of the theses from my vantage point as a mental health counselor and psychology professor.
And so I offer these theses for the purpose of debate. But they are also offered with a prayer. My prayer is that the spirit of the Reformers to recover the emphasis on divine grace in their day would be the commitment that Christians would have today regarding counseling.
Thus, I welcome the reaction of Dr. Lambert at any time during the series.
1. Christians in the twenty-first century live at a time when the counseling practice of many evangelical churches is marked by chaos and confusion regarding the nature of counseling.
2. Secular therapy has defined the nature and terms of counseling for more than a hundred years, and Christians responding to its influence have been confounded by it—not knowing whether to consume this secular therapy in an undiluted form, to combine it in some way with resources from the Christian tradition, or to reject it entirely in favor of an approach that relies exclusively on scriptural resources.
3. The confusion that exists on the part of Christians has been a distressing source of conflict among brothers and sisters in Christ who debate these issues, and has caused pain in the lives of troubled Christians who seek counseling care.
In don't know how many are in "chaos" but I would agree that some Christians are confused about counseling. Generally, there is much we don't know about mental health and brain based diseases and so it seems reasonable that Christians would also experience the confusion which goes along with that. Number two captures the broad historic responses to psychology by those in the church.
4. It is a matter of urgency that Christians coalesce around an understanding of counseling that is authentically Christian (Col 3:14).
Let me go out on a limb here and say that I doubt Christians will ever "coalesce" around any one understanding of anything. I disagree that it is a matter of urgency to come to one understanding. However, I do think it would be good if those who hold different views could discuss them rationally and on the merits. We can and should disagree agreeably without casting doubts on the spiritual commitment of ideological opponents.
Furthermore, the diversity of settings within which counseling is conducted make it unlikely that one view will ever win the day. Some Christians work in the public sector, others work in private settings such as the church. I don't think we have a one-size-fits-all audience, so we won't have just one approach to counseling.
5. A commitment to counseling that is authentically Christian requires believers in Christ to understand the nature of counseling, which resources must be used in counseling, and to possess growing skill in caring for people in need of counseling.
I don't disagree, although I know that my definition of the nature of counseling and resources allowed is much broader than Lambert's.
Again, I welcome Dr. Lambert's reaction at any time. I don't have a specific time table for the series and will post as time permits.

Simply Southern Girl: New food blog to follow!!
New food blog to follow!!
Good friend, and sorority sister, Carolina recently started a blog Peas in a Blog, with her best friend who is living abroad. As the blog states: "Carolina & Katie are best friends living in two different continents, sharing their love of vegetarian food & fitness through Peas in a Blog…"
I must share that there are some amazing recipes.. Recently, on a rainy day I was feeling the need for soup.. So I broke out the macbook and started searching for new recipes. I came across the "Perfect Potato Soup" and gave it a whirl, so good!!!
Next time you are looking for something new to make.. be sure to check out their blog!!
1. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter and add onion until it starts to turn clear. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two more. Add potatoes and toss to coat.
2. In a crock pot, combine the potato mixture and the veggie stock. Cook until potatoes are tender.
3. In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream, tarragon and cilantro. Cook for a minute or two longer. Stir the cream mixture into the potato mixture–you can eat now or let it simmer in the crock-pot.
This is a thick soup, which I like, but feel free to add more broth if you'd like it a bit thinner.

MainVC: A tab bar view controller where the user will be redirected if:

*

*user registers successfully for the first time

*user logs in successfully

*user is logged in

If the user is not logged in he/she should be redirected to LandingVC.
The way I am handling it is as follows:
In appDelegate.swift I check whether the user is logged in or not.

If the user is logged in I set the MainVC as the root controller.
If the user is not logged in, then i set the LandingVC as the root controller.
QUESTION A:
Everything work just fine but since I am fairly new to iOS development I worry if the way I present/push/dismiss ViewControllers is the correct one in terms of memory consumption and code efficiency. What do you think? Do I get it all wrong or am I in the right path?
To measure it I followed the procedure below:
Run the app in iOS Simulator using iPhone X. The user is initially not logged in so I used the same flow 3 times: LandingVC --> LoginVC --> MainVC.
The results below:

ps1: to get the results I used the "Debug Navigator" tab in xCode.

To verify that no ViewController was dismissed during the whole flow I used the "View Memory Graph Hierarchy":

As you can see we have 3 instances of every ViewController I navigated through (by the way, MainVC is the MainTabBarController which is consisted of HomeViewController, FavouritesViewController, TrendingViewController, and SettingsViewController).
QUESTION B:
Is there a way I can deallocate [remove/pop/dismiss/etc] ViewControllers from memory but still have the same result?
QUESTION C:
Is it normal for the memory to increase from 55.4 MB to 68.1 MB following that flow?
ps2: All UI was built programmatically. No Storyboard involved.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

In this post, we will explore the inner parts of a class file going byte by byte!!
Each class file contains the definition of a single class or interface.
The only constraint enforced by the compiler is that the name of the java file matches the name of the public class/interface defined inside the java file.
In the rest of this post, we will study the bytecode representation of MyClass.
A class file consists of a stream of 8-bit bytes.
that corresponds to the following, where 10 is the value of CONSTANT_Methodref, 3 is an index into the constant_pool table whose entry entry must be a CONSTANT_Class_info structure and 13 is an index into the constant_pool table whose entry entry must be a CONSTANT_NameAndType_info structure. In a nutshell, the first entry in the constant pool represents the constructor of java.lang.Object and its descriptor.
Fourth entry is the literal <init>, where 1 represents CONSTANT_Utf8_info, the next 2 bytes represent the length of the string, in this case 6. The next 6 bytes represent the characters of the string.
where the first byte (12) is the tag item of the CONSTANT_NameAndType_info structure, the next 2 bytes are a valid index into the constant_pool table pointing to the entry of the constant pool table that contains the name of the method and the final 2 bytes are a valid index into the constant_pool table pointing to the entry of the constant pool table that contains the descriptor of the method.
Next 2 bytes represent the number of additional attributes of this method.
Next is the attribute_info structure, defined by https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.
First 2 bytes is an index into the constant pool of the class pointing to the name of the attribute. In this case, the wanted index is #6, that contains the literal "Code". Therefore, this attribute corresponds to the code of the constructor.
The Code_attribute structure is defined by https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.3.
3,4. positions 3 and 4 are the argument of the instruction invokespecial and correspond to a 2-byte value containing an index of the constant pool table, in this case #1. Remember that the first element of the constant pool is the constructor of java/lang/Object.
Next 2 bytes represent the index of the constant pool pointing to the name of the first Code attribute, #7, LineNumberTable, which is defined by https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.12. This attribute may be used by debuggers to determine which instruction of the method corresponds to a given line number in the original source file.
Each entry in the line_number_table array indicates the opcode instruction to which a line in the source code relates.
Next 2 bytes represent the index of the constant pool pointing to the name of the second Code attribute, #8, LocalVariableTable, which is defined by https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.13. This attribute may be used by debuggers to determine the value of a given local variable during the execution of a method.
The local_variable_table array indicates a range of code array offsets within which a local variable has a value. It also indicates the index into the local variable array of the current frame at which that local variable can be found. So the local variable "this" has a value in the entire method (as the method implementation has 5 instructions) and is stored in the first slot of the local variable array.
Next 2 bytes is the index of the opcode of the first instruction where the variable has a value.
All the method info is over.
Next 4 bytes is the number of bytes of this attribute, that is always 2 for "SourceFile".
At last!! We have covered the entire bytecode. Even the simplest of the Java classes has taken this long to be described in terms of bytecode.

Q: synchronize two linux over area is it possible to synchronize two linux machine over internet? thanks
Any solutions using any Technique
?

A: E.g. rsync. "Synchronize" can mean a lot of different things though, below is a prototype rsync-command:
rsync --archive --delete --update /directory/to/sync $REMOTE_HOST:/directory/on/remote/host
You will have to carefully read man rsync or other resources on the available switches and behaviours though, it is a versatile program.
Most often, I find rsync the "correct" way to do it, without reinventing the wheel.

Just a heads up. I'll be sending invoices/money requests out Feb 1st via paypal. Just so I can track stuff a little better.
Hey Joe. Maybe I'm not up on how it's done, but I haven't received any invoice for the Darland and Clauson sets. Am I looking in the right places? Don't want to miss out on those sets!

No your not missing anything. Been a kinda weird/crazy/painful week. Still dont have the sheets or a delivery conformation to when I will have them. I just hate having people pay for stuff and wait for who knows how long. I'll try and get caught up tonight. Im swimming in unfinished and unstarted decal projects.
Thanks for the quick reply Joe. No rush - as quick as I am by the time I get anything built I'll be looking for 2013 sets! Just wanted to make sure, as I said, I wasn't missing anything.
Take care of yourself - it does no one any good if you push too much and put yourself out of commission.
Got an email today that tomorrow the decals will start their journey to here in Indiana! Sending money requests to people I have email addy's for.
Joe is there a set of the Saldana RedBull decals still available?
Could I please lay claim to them. Just let me know how to go about payment.
Also (sorry) how far off are you thinking the Donny Schatz STP decals from being printed?
they'll be on my next order. Now that pics are coming out of the cars from florida I can verify all the contingencies. I do have a few more yellow goodyears coming in either Mon/Tues i hope.

News»El Salvador's Captured Peace
El Salvador's Captured Peace
Christine Wade's timely book Captured Peace examines the UN peace process in El Salvador from a new angle, that of how local elites manipulated the process from beginning to end.
In El Salvador, where in 1992 the United Nations achieved its greatest success in peacebuilding to end a brutal civil war, the homicide rate is now highest in the world. In her timely new book Captured Peace, Christine Wade, associate professor of political science and international studies, examines how local elites manipulated the peace process, helping lead the country to its present state.
The locals don't call it peace. In El Salvador, they call what the United Nations has lauded as one of its major peacebuilding successes "not war."
And by anyone's calculation, what is happening today in this Central American country cannot be considered remotely peaceful. More than 6,600 people were murdered in El Salvador in 2015. At a homicide rate of nearly 105 per 100,000—more than 17 times the global average—El Salvador now bears the grim title of murder capital of the world.
"One of the problems that really puzzled me is that El Salvador is considered to be one of the most successful cases of UN peacebuilding," says Christine Wade, associate professor of political science and international studies at Washington College. A specialist in the international and comparative politics of Latin America, she's also the curator of the Goldstein Program in Public Affairs. "The way we measure success in peace processes is about recidivism—did the war recur? El Salvador is durable in the respect that we have more than two decades of peace. The conflict has not resumed. It doesn't even appear likely to resume. But El Salvador is not a country at peace. You can't have the world's highest homicide rate and call yourself a peaceful place.
"My hope was that in going to back to the peace process I might be able to determine how we went from this idea of having a successful case to something that is really not that successful in terms of the quality of peace."
Wade has been working and researching in El Salvador since the late 1990s, just a few years after representatives of the government of El Salvador and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) signed the Chapúltepec Peace Accords, which the United Nations had negotiated for more than two years. The accords formally ended the country's 12-year-old civil war that had killed more than 75,000 Salvadorans and displaced a million more. They also represented the first major success by the UN in its peacebuilding efforts.
In the late 1990s, Wade says, "A lot of people were optimistic about the peace process and how well things seemed to be going." But when she returned in 2004, she noticed a darkening mood, and two years later "things just seemed to be getting palpably worse—definitely more polarized." Even after 2009, she says, when the FMLN finally won the presidential election, and ARENA—the governing party since the accords were signed—ceded the presidency, "there was still something very unsettled about El Salvador."
In Captured Peace Wade wanted to look at the peace process from a fresh angle—that of how elites with the advantage of incumbency influenced the peace process from the very beginning. "From the moment when they set the agenda for what they were going to negotiate, through implementation, the process was completely controlled by economic elites," she says. She also expanded the concept of regulatory capture to develop a framework for the idea of a peace captured by the oligarchy that ruled El Salvador before, during, and after the civil war to illustrate "what happens when entrenched elites capture a peace process and use it for their own objectives."
"We tend to let local elites off the hook in our criticisms of peacebuilding—that they're just pawns in this international game—but that's not true. They're actually quite powerful," she says. "Local elites are the ones who invite the peace process in, they're the ones who set the terms by which the peace will be negotiated. They're in charge of implementing the agreements. In El Salvador, the party that negotiated the peace of course remained in power 20 years, being re-elected until 2009, and during that period they were able to manipulate processes to do enough to secure peace but not enough to really transform society, which was the whole goal of peacebuilding."
As a result, entrenched power, political corruption, militarization, and lack of social and economic reform simply serve to continue as a form of "path dependence," a cultural and political inertia that becomes increasingly resistant to fundamental change.
Héctor Lindo-Fuentes, professor of history and Latin American studies at Fordham University, says of Captured Peace: "There is no other book like this on the market … It would not surprise me if, after reading this book, scholars working on postwar El Salvador adopted the phrase 'captured peace' to refer to the period."
"Those who study El Salvador closely recognize more deeply the limitations of the peace accords in transforming its politics, economics, and society," says Michael E. Allison, associate professor of political science at the University of Scranton. "This book does a fabulous job explaining how the peace accords failed in several important ways primarily because of the intransigence of local elites."
Wade hopes that future peacebuilding initiatives will learn from the mistakes in El Salvador. She is watching with particular interest the negotiations in Colombia, where a new peace deal could be signed as early as this month. Last October, more than 34 million Colombians registered to vote in regional elections that would choose those who will implement a peace agreement. "I think we can look back and see some tools that would have been helpful to mitigate the ability of elites to basically capture the process," she says.
Wade writes a monthly column about Central American politics for World Politics Review. You can access her columns here: http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/authors/1103/christine-wade
Captured Peace was published in January 2016 by the Ohio University Press as part of the Ohio University Research in International Studies series.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency has awarded a potential five-year, $33.7 million contract to K2 Group for services to support DTRA's technical support groups around the world as they hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
The Defense Department said Tuesday DTRA received eight bids for the contract, containing one base year and four one-year options. The competition was restricted to service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses.
DTRA's technical support groups work with combatant commands and other agencies to search for and counter threats from weapons of mass destruction such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear.
Work will take place at Fort Belvoir in Virginia, on the Korean Peninsula and in other areas under the responsibility of the European, Pacific, Central, Northern, Southern and African combatant commands.
K2 Group will work with DTRA and the commands to conduct WMD search training exercises and operations, provide education in chemical science and engineering, help assess equipment and support missions that could last more than 179 days.
Deltek listed PAE as the incumbent on the previous contract. As a large business, it could not bid on the world PAE due to the program's set-aside status for SDVOSBs.
Vienna, Va.-headquartered K2 Group was founded in 2004 and provides support services to counterterrorism and intelligence agencies.


Well, this month I wasn't able to get as far as I would've liked to. I had several things I had to redo on the Enterprise model before I could start the wiring. I needed to add the Hanger bay doors to the back of the ship so they are in the open position. I also added a few more lightis to the hanger bay to enhance their lighting effects. But my primary task was to make sure that I was able to get the Armature mounted into the sauce and also make sure it would hold the ship up without bendig or bouncing too far up and down. The Enterprise does have some weight to it so I wanted to make sure the armature was holding the ship at an even keel. I also needed to start the wiring and have it feed through the armature up into the Drydock and down to the control panel base. This is now easy task as there are many wires to run through the ship. If this was mounted from below on the engineering deck it would a lot easier. But this ship needs to appear to be floating inside the dock and this is the only way to do it.
So I spent most of this last month doing a lot of soldering and wire running. Then after the wires were run thorugh the armature I needed to test that the ligthting circuits were working, then lable all of the wiring and the voltage for it's final connections to the power sources. So, I got the Engineering section wired up as well as most of the upper and lower saucer pieces. I am waiting for a shipment of LEDs to complete the thruster wiring for the Main deflector housing. I was able to get the main deflector dish wired up and working. I have lighting tests pics for some of the ship's lighting. By next month's update I will have the Enterprise resting inside her drydock and then I can add the Port side of the dock to the model. Hang in there gang. It's getting closer to being finished. I have 16 pics int the May Updates page. Check 'em out and enjoy! See you next month.
My June updates are now posted as of the first! I will be posting the July updates in about a week and a half. See you then.
This month's updates are now posted for your enjoyment. I have pretty much been doing a lot of clean up with the port side framework. I'm getting all of the tension rod assemblies in place as well as the port side mark light bars which run along the length of the model. I've also added all of the panel frame details to the sides of each of the panel frames. Everything is pretty much in place and all I have to do now is connect all of the wires and do a lighting test to make sure everything works okay. The only part I didn't detail as of yet is between the top tier 2nd and 3rd panel frames. This is because I will have to cut into the tubing to allow the armature tower to fit in between these panels. I'm a little bit nervous about cutting into these tubes just because I don't want to ruin anything. But this has to be done in order for the ship to be supported inside the dock.
In the meantime, I will be painting up all of the added details that I've put on this last month to match the rest of the dock model. In the updates there are 32 new pics for this month. I've taken more photos to show how the tension rods are added one by one into the structure. It takes about 40 to 45 minutes to complete one panel frame. This is mainly because of all of the small parts I'm using to build this part of the dock. I can't tell you how many times I've wound up dropping parts while trying to put them all in place. I've also been doing some piece counting for the model. There are 9 parts to each of the tension rods. 2 mounting nuts, 2 mounting bolts, 2 washers 2 turnbuckle sleeves and one tension rod. There are 12 tension rods on each panel frame. So just for the tension rod assemblies alone there are 108 pieces per panel frame. 42 panel frames total including the port and starboard frameworks. This equals 4,536 individual pieces just for the panel frames alone. At the end of the entire build I will give you a complete total of all the individual parts needed for this model.
In other areas, I have scratch built some support clamps that are needed to hold the mark lighting rods in place on the outside of the port framework. These clamps were all cemented to the outside of the dock and aligned so that the entire length of the rod would appear straight over the entire length of the dock. The mark light rods are then snapped into the clamps holding them in place. Next I will be doing the wiring for these lights and then do a light test. After everything looks good I can then paint all of these parts to match the dock. I can finally move to get the Enterprise in place. Hope you enjoy all of the pics for this months. As always if you have any comments or questions I'd be happy to hear from you. See you next month! Be safe!
I apologize for the delay with this month's updates. A lot going on in my life, lately! Whew! I finally am able to post the update! Anyway, Most of the past month I've been painting all of the turnbuckle assemblies on the inside as well as the outsides of the frames. No easy task considering they needed to be done one part at a time. Some parts needed more than one coat. I would have preferred to airbrush all of this but the masking would be too time consuming and the parts are way too fragile to keep in place. There are too many details on the light panels to worry about overspray and the like.
I have 9 new pics in the August Updates - 2015 page. This shows the painting completed. I've also added the cryo-tanks to the bottom tier of the frames and those are now secured in place as well. About half of the pics are some light test shots. The only other thing I was able to work on are the outside "B" panels. I've added a few more details to each of them. That's pretty much it for this month, now let's get that STARSHIP inside the dock and launch this puppy!
Thanks for being patient, See you next Update!
Thanks for your patience. I was able to move all of my model building stuff to my new location so after this update you will see some pics of my new work area. For this months update I have 15 new pics for you to view. I've been spending most of my time trying to mount and balance the Enterprise model into the Overhead modules. This scale ship weighs a lot more than the 1/350 scale version, so the issue of weight stands out a lot more in this build. I'm trying to get the Enterprise to appear as level with the drydock as possible so it will appear to be floating inside of it. It is taking a lot of tweaking to get it centered and balanced. After I get it as leve as possible I can then seal up the saucer section and permanently Secure the Enterprise armature to the Dock. Some of the pics in my update show how I've centered the model. Then I marked off all of the holes to drill for the mounting bolts. There will be three bolts holding the ship in place via the armature. I just had to take several pics of this. It just means I'm that much closer to finishing this build. I think you will like these pics.
Also I've begun measurements for the Hanger deck that is in the Overhead module. The Starboard side module will show the depth of the Hanger. This will also suggest that both modules actually look this way even though only one will have the doors in the opened position. I've taken all of the Shuttles Craft that I've cast both in opaque and clear castings and will be preparing them for painting. Some of the craft will be lighted up while others will be in a stand by mode. I've also cast many Travel pods and cargo containers as well as work bees. These will all be painted up and stored in the hanger.
February Updates - 2016 Okay! Finally I've been able to get some updates back on the site. I've started by adding 12 new pics to the February Updates- 2016 page. My primary work is for the Hanger bays seen on the front of the Overhead modules. My version of the dock will also include Hangers on the rear of the dock as well. The larger one will have the Hanger doors open so you can see into the hanger and view the storage containers as well as the work bees and shuttle craft that are stored there. After I finish the assembly of the hanger walls I will be working on the main hanger deck. I'm also adding a little more functionality to the smaller flight decks that are seen on the Starboard side module. I'm adding some access doors to the back walls to give them a little more depth. Thanks for your patience in all of this. I will have more updates coming next month! See you then!
I've got a whole slew of pics for this months update! I've been concentrating on the larger hanger deck for the rear Starboard side of the overhead modules. As with the 1/350 scale version I'm adding a warehouse-like storage area for one side of the Modules. The front end of the Drydock will appear as it did in ST:TMP. The idea of showing the hanger is just to show what might possibly be on the interior of these modules. I figure that since the Enterprise is facing forward inside the dock it would make the most sense to have the supplies and cargo containers come out of the aft end of the modules to be loaded into the Shuttle Bay on the Enterprise. I'm trying to make this hanger a lot larger than the 1/350 scale version. I'm currently adding a lot of detailing to the walls and ceiling, etc. I've make some extra holes in both the deck and the ceiling for overhead lighting. As of this update I've pretty much have all of the wall details in place and I've begun spraying the parts both for light leaks and final colors. There are 30 pics in this month's update. Take a look and let me know what you think! See you next month!
This month I've been doing a lot of painting on all of the Overhead module hanger decks and entryways. The painting process can take quite a while because of all of the masking that needs to be done. All of the decks needed to have landing stripes and other colors added to them. I've been able to paint the main hanger deck and I think it looks pretty cool. It looks like a parking garage for the shuttles. I'll be adding the shuttles, Work bees and cargo containers soon. Well I 52 pics in this months updates. I mainly showed how the painting process was done. Check them out and let me know what you think. We'll see you in a month.
Hey Everyone! No I didn't fall off the grid, I've just been extremely busy these past few months. I'm still working on the Drydock, but what I accomplished during August and September was very minimal and not worth the update. But I have a significant update and I hope you'll like it.
First off, I am still working on the lighting effects for the hanger bays. I've built some light sockets for the fiber optic effects, I've also been working on the shuttle craft that will be seen inside the open end hanger bay. They are all painted up and just need decals. I should be able to get those done by the next update. 4 of the shuttles will have some sort of lighting effect in them.
Next I took on the challenge of wiring together two sets of 60 LEDs for the work light Arrays. The soldering was very delicate and tricky. I needed to solder the wires as close to the LEDs as possible because there is a limited amount of space in the work light housing. I could have used the strip LEDs but they don't have the shape I wanted for the actual light fixtures. After getting them all soldered together I*took a few lighting test pics which came out really good.
Next I started building the housing for the work lights. These are scratch*built pieces with some ribbing details on the backside of the housing. I made these so they would slide over the back of the lighting array. There are some touch-ups and puttying to do but they are finished.
Also in the scratch build department I needed to build the vertical boom arm pivots. This piece will slide into the*Boom arm turrets and support the boom arms for the work cranes and work lights.*I made a master to be molded with silicon rubber. I then cast 7 of these pieces for the turrets. I also drilled holes into the vertical pivot so I can add the boom arms and wiring.
Lastly I was able to scratch build the boom arms. I used some Plastrux*tubing for the main part of the arm. I had to taper one end and lathe the other so it will have some interesting details. I also added some other details. Pieces that I call fins, as well as adding some eyelettes to the boom arms to support some thin rod pieces that come out of the vertical pivot. I don't know what their function is but it makes for interesting details. I managed to complete the two work light booms and assemble the arrays to the boom*assembly. Now I need to work on the turret mounts so that all of the work cranes can be connected to the panel frames in some manner.
There are 27 new pics*in the October updates - 2016 page if you would like to see how the building process went. Well, that's all for this month. Next month I should most of these items all painted up. See you then.
For this month's update I've finished wiring all of the turrets with their lighting effects. I've fed the wires through the bottom section of the turret and through a styrene tube at the back of the base of the turret. This makes it look more the filming miniature versions. After getting this all set up and adding the fiber optic strands to each of the work booms*I've also been working on the painting of the Work booms as well as the booms for the Work Light Array. There are 3-4 different colors used on these pieces. The main color was and off Yellow which somewhat resembles the color of our modern day work cranes. There are also gray and rust color stripes added as well as some military green. They were sprayed in layers, masked and then the next color was added. The final color was the yellow. They will need some touch ups to cover up some small pot holes created by the resin-molding process.
On the 1/350 scale dock I was not sure how I would mount these turrets to the dock because at that time there were no good pictures of the dock available. What you saw on the screen was all I could go by. But having seen the filming miniature in person I now know what to do to mount these pieces to the 1/260 scale dock.
There are some specialized mounting brackets that hold the turrets into place, so I'm trying to replicate them as best as I can using styrene. So far they are turning out okay and they look like they'll be able to support the weight of the turrets, especially the light arrays.*I should have them all painted up by the next updates. There are 20 new pics under the November Updates - 2016 page. Enjoy and feel free to comment. Thanks everyone. See you next update!
Uh..... I dunno..... Just had to take a break. Been*busy with work family and a multitude of other things...... BUUUUUUUUUT! I'm ready to get moving again.
The pics are loaded up on the February Updates - 2017 Page.
*Okay, so I really didn't get a whole lot done the last couple of months, But I did manage to work on a few things. The mounting clamps for all of the work booms are now complete and I mad the pincers for the ends of the booms. I kind of improvised on these because I couldn't see any functional need to the Drydocks end pieces as seen in the movie. I will be making alternate pieces that mimic TMP end pieces so they will be interchangeable. They will just slip onto the ends of the booms. Anyway, the booms were cut to the same length when I first made them and I really can't finish them until I get the Enterprise in place. Then the booms will be cut to the appropriate lengths and the end pieces will be put on. I will also cut the optic fiber to be flush with the end of the boom.
Back to the turret clamps. I have these mounted on the bottoms of the swivel shaft and they are painted up to match the panel frames.* I've also started to do some re-wiring on the Enterprise Deflector dish. my client wanted the ramp-up, ramp-down*lighting effects added in so I need to run a few more wires through the dorsal. I've also replaced the LED in the dish reflector with a dual color LED. I should have this wired up by next update.
In other areas, I'm starting to apply the decals for all of the shuttles that will go in the Aft Hanger bay. I also needed to take out some of the wiring for the thrusters on the Enterprise model to make room for the Gang way on the Dock. There's just too much packed into it and it might cause problems later on. I've also mounted the Enterprise onto the dock but I'm afraid the ship might just weight too much for the bracket, so I might have to stabilize the ship with some wires. .013mm I think is*what I bought.
I know this wasn't much of an update, but I should be back on track during this month. Thank you everyone for your patience. I know this is a long project, but please bear with me and you WILL see it complete. Ahh yes I love that word complete. So check out the pics, let me know what you think and I will see you next month. Take care everyone.

Hey Everyone! My apologies to all for the big delay. As you may have noticed my website was hacked and my NemVia.com version of my is no longer functioning for my website. I have had to update my site to NemVia.net and try to clean up as much of the garbage that the hackers have caused and try to get things back in order as best as I could. I've had a few setbacks with the Drydock build, sick relatives and other problems have caused further delays. Although I do have a small update for this month I think you'll find some of it interesting.
I became discouraged when I found out that I made a mis-calculation with my armature for the ship. This armature was to keep the ship level inside the dock and also allow it to appear to be floating while inside the dock. I poured over ways to correct this problem including some extremely thin steel fishing line that would hold the engines level with the dock.* I decided to do what I did with my 1/350 scale dock armature and just bend the heck out of the thing until it help the ship upright and level the way I wanted it to.
Using a pair of pipe wrenches, I found the point where the armature meets the connection rod and pushing in opposite directions I twisted the armature enough to pre-load the tension in order to hold the weight of the ship in place. I have a pic of how I was able to do this in the July Updates - 2017 page. It took me a couple of tries, but I finally got the ship to appear level inside the dock. She FLOATS! I exclaimed! Anyway that was a huge hurtle to get past. Now I can finish the wiring for the main deflector dish and torpedo launchers and finally seal off the saucer section and get ready to add the port side panel frames into* place.
In other areas I had to replace the hanger deck on the aft side of the Dock. Some of the fiber optics were not lining up the way I wanted to so I redid the entire deck. It looks much better now and I have all of the chase lighting done for the entire aft end of the modules. The small hangers have the chase lighting heading into the deck whereas the larger hanger has the lighting running in take-off mode with a few shuttles in position for launch. I have 7 new pics and 4 new videos of the chase lighting effects in this month's updates I should be able to get more done in the upcoming month. Once again I apologize for the long delays. Hang in there and I'll get this thing done soon. Thanks for your patience and keep checking for more updates.
Lacking your explanation a Warning is warranted.

A development towards the wireless is in full effect. Take for instance video game consoles like the Nintendo Wii or PlayStation 3, which make use of wireless controllers. Add the Wi-Fi for internet connectivity and the gamer is set to go and lose his or herself in an immersive experience. Or take a look at your smartphone for example, that's able to wirelessly receive all sorts of data like OTA (over-the-air) firmware updates. Adrian Mackenzie wrote about the notion of wirelessness in his book Wirelessness: Radical empiricism in network cultures.
In his book Adrian Mackenzie refers to the work of American philosopher William James and his doctrine on radical empiricism and pragmatism. Let's first give an overview of the key points of radical empiricism. William James stated that the object-subject-relation, the distinction of mind and matter and the notion of truth needed to be radically reconsidered. In his eyes the object-subject-relation is fundamentally flawed. For James, there was no clear distinction between being and the material objects that surround us. He notes that consciousness is a thing and he continues that it's composed of one primal "stuff" which he calls pure experience. Experience in this sense is the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories. (Russell, 1945) Moreover, experience is seen in relation to the matter surrounding us. This notion of experience is key to radical empiricism and inspired Mackenzie in his view on wirelessness.

Wireless experience today?
From radical empiricism to wirelessness
Adrian re-uses James's doctrine to give a complicated yet interesting take on how to perceive the wireless world that we live in today. As mentioned earlier, experience can be seen as a flux of life. It is this idea of transition and movement which Mackenzie emphasizes on a multitude of levels for the notion of wirelessness. He for instance takes a dive into the concept of the wireless city and explains how the idea of a wireless city, often attempted to control and organize wirelessness, is affected by all sorts of subtitutions in its practices. Mackenzie concludes that wirelessness terminates in a movement rather than a place. (Mackenzie, 2010) Mackenzie then follows on the concept of signals and stresses the relation between code and chips. Differentiation amongst signals and their converging paths has become an important aspect. How can we then view this in relation to radical empiricism? Mackenzie clarifies:
If we do not appreciate the of work of algorithmic processes, then we cannot understand the effervescences associated with wirelessness – how chips multiply and flow in their billions into markets, how new forms of embodied habit and conduct appear, how places are transformed into zones of connectivity, and how new species of sociality concresce around them. We also can't understand the growth of wirelessness, its proliferation, its overlaps and contestation, or its structuring of collective experience. Wirelessness as a state of effervescence develops in assemblages of conjunctive relations: it lies at the fringes of experience, but tinges experience with certain feelings of proximitiy and attentiveness that may very well not register consciously. (Mackenzie, 2010: 69)
In later chapters the author deals with wirelessness on several levels, which include wireless devices, wirelessness as a product and how we act wirelessly, for example in relation to mapping concepts like the API of Google Maps. Mackenzie tries to tackle the difficulties of understanding wirelessness and uses radical empiricism as a way to home in on the notion of (wireless) experience. Personally I found it a very though read, because I was new to the philosophy of radical empiricism and the author does not really give a structed overview to clarify this first. Furthermore, I had some troubles with the rather closed system of terms in which the book was written. By that I mean that Mackenzie continuously falls back on that same radical empiricism and even literally repeats himself doing so. Nevertheless, he concludes his story by stating that the flow of experience has to be reconfigured. With Wirelessness Adrian Mackenzie makes clear that we need to form a greater awareness and a better understanding of what it actually entails to be and act wireless in this world.
Wireless experience in the future?

Here is my gem file,

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '4.2.2'

gem 'sqlite3'

gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'

gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'

gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.1.0'

gem 'jquery-rails'

gem 'turbolinks'

gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'

gem 'sdoc', '~> 0.4.0', group: :doc

gem 'sunspot_rails'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'byebug'

  gem 'web-console', '~> 2.0'

  gem 'spring'

end

Does anyone has any solution to this problem.

A: This appears to be a known problem. The problem is that Rails 4.1 renamed a file in ActiveSupport core extensions and sunspot_rails is still trying to include the old file name. This was resolved in this sunspot_rails commit but it still was not merged to the stable 2.0 branch of the sunspot_rails gem.
Overall this gem seems to be quite abandoned so your only option is to try to use the master branch of the gem directly from github, not the stable 2.0 branch.
You can do it by updating your Gemfile so that instead of:
gem 'sunspot_rails'

it will say:
gem 'sunspot_rails :github => 'sunspot/sunspot'
