Lollipop tries to lick to competition
by Dan Katcher - November 20, 2014
Before we talk about Lollipop, let's talk about another new Android release. I am referring to this ad:
It's a great ad. It conveys an open, inclusive, creative, energetic feeling – a very human feeling – that has so often been more associated with Android's archrival. And this commercial, which first aired in mid-October, perfectly set the stage for this month's release of the new Lollipop version of the operating system, a release that Android has used to declare itself every bit Apple's equal when it comes to design as well as technology.
At the heart of Lollipop is Material Design, a framework – nay, an entire philosophy – for designing for Android. Essentially, Material Design calls for elements that look and function on the screen like pieces of paper in the real world; the design team even worked with actual paper shapes as they devised the system, according to TechCrunch. The resulting look is all flat, bold shapes, bright colors, and lots of shadows and layering. It is minimalist, striking, and sometimes beautiful.
But will it catch on?
While Apple has a strict review process and a system that tightly controls what makes it onto iPhones, Android has proudly adhered to a more heterogeneous approach, letting device makers and app developers do what they will with the platform. So it's not enough to release Material Design; now Google has to convince folks to use it.
Some major names – including the Wall Street Journal and Buzzfeed – are already on board, according to an official Android blog post. Google threw a design-focused conference in concert with the release of Lollipop, and if Twitter is any indication, made some headway in convincing creative types of its design cred.
Beautiful execution by @GoogleDesign's first design conference. #FORMSF14 pic.twitter.com/CHR8EW79E5

5 years ago, I would never have predicted I'd be sitting in Fort Mason attending a good design conference thrown by Google. #FORMSF14 — Sebastiaan de With (@sdw) November 4, 2014
Still, convincing a broad, independent, and variable swatch of people to adopt a new design language – especially with no enforcement mechanisms in place – is bound to be a challenge. Furthermore, Android users traditionally start using new versions of operating systems at a much slower rate than iPhone users; if Lollipop adoption lags, might developers have less incentive to adhere to the principles of Material Design? As Kyle Vanhemert said at Wired.com:
Coming up with a single design language for all of Google's products is an ambitious undertaking. Getting everyone else to follow its intricate rules borders on audacious, and one of Google's challenges in months to come will be articulating its sweeping vision to designers outside the company.

Edmund White's novels include Fanny: A Fiction, A Boy's Own Story, The Farewell Symphony, and A Married Man. He is also the author of a biography of Jean Genet, a study of Marcel Proust, The Flâneur: A Stroll Through the Paradoxes of Paris, and, most recently, his memoir, My Lives.
His latest novel is Hotel de Dream.
For the Guardian, White named his top ten New York books.
One title on the list:
A Walker in the City by Alfred Kazin
Another great document of New York, about growing up poor and Jewish in the Brooklyn of the 1930s. "The Kitchen" chapter is an affectionate look at the whole family's life getting lived in the largest room of the apartment. His mother, a dressmaker, worked in it all day long with her sewing machine and her customers sitting around in their robes. The family ate all their meals there. "I did my homework and first writing at the kitchen table, and in winter I often had a bed made up for me on three kitchen chairs near the stove..." On Friday evening, of course, no one could work at all or even cook but friends and neighbours came in to partake of the already prepared meals.
Read about the other books on White's list.

Another name we throw out there is Kevin Hart. But what do you think? Who would you like to see play the Genie? Let us know in the comments below!
The Summer of Heroes will be underway soon and a new commercial has been released (below). After watching it we just want… nay, need to know… will we see Baby Groot! A post on the Disney Parks Blog confirmed that we would get a chance to meet Groot but everything pointed to "full-size" Groot. Has this commercial shown us an alternate meet n' greet? We sure hope so!
he trailer for Thor Ragnarok is cool (and yet a but confusing). There are many moments that make us feel that there may be a bit more comedy in this film which is great but what's up with the 80's graphics? Are the people of Asgard still using VHS tapes from the 80's? Maybe this will be answered in the film but there was something we caught wind of that left us wondering as well: will The Collector's fortress be in Thor: Ragnarok (aka 'Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout!', aka formerly the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror)? The screenshot below seems to suggest so but it might also just be a coincidence. With Thor and the Guardians playing a part in the upcoming Inifinity War this might actually be The Collector's fortress. What do you think? 'Yup, it is!', 'Close enough' or 'no way'? Also, if you haven't seen the trailer, check it out below.


Days before the start of the series, Indian veteran Harbhajan Singh predicted that India will win 3-0, if Australia play well. Well, not just Harbhajan, in fact, many cricket followers and some big names in the fraternity had similar thoughts regarding Australia's fate in the Indian subcontinent. Steven Smith came out hard in the first Test at Pune and smashed a ton, of course, it had it's share of glitches, and gave Australia a hope. It wasn't just a hope, it was an opportunity to ponder and a tantalising one for a victory. Steven O'Keefe spun a series of web around Indian batsmen as Australia created a huge upset by thrashing India by a record 333-run to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Critics were silent, India were at sixes and sevens and Australia now started believing in themselves with an emphatic win at Pune.
How often do we see a cricketer debuting as a bowler and then transforming into a batsman?
Well, not just a batsman but one of the finest batsmen. It does not happen very often and Smith's case is an oddity. Smith's irresistible rise as a batsman from a chubby leg-spinner has been overwhelming. He has not just mastered batting against the white ball but also in the longest format, which is considered to be toughest among all. When Smith was appointed as the skipper of Australia, he was sitting at the pinnacle of ICC Test batsman ranking and had hardly to do anything with bowling. Such has been the transition from Smith the bowler to Smith the batsman.
Smith has been the talk of the town since the start of the series. Though many purists suggested that Smith will get runs in the series irrespective of how Australia fare, as he is among the cream of batsmen in contemporary cricket or even the finest for that matter. There have been talks about his unorthodox technique and survival in India but Smith has answered it all with a bang. Smith smashed his seventh ton in eight Tests against India, which is a testament to his ability to perform under pressure and diligent character.
I may not be qualified to comment on his batting but Smith, so far, has not shown any signs of weakness in the series. He didn't panic against spin and showed sound technique in confronting it. In short, Smith is heretical yet persuasive. And his Test average of 61.05, just below Bradman (min 2000 runs), corroborates the belief. It is frequently said, more than reaching the top, sustaining it is more difficult. Smith has not only been there but also preserved the limelight.
Smith has been the thorn in India's flesh in the ongoing series. His scores in the current competition read: 109, 27, 28,8, 21, 178*, 111, 17. He has scored runs on a consistent basis. In the series so far, Smith has achieved numerous milestones with the bat. He is now the only second overseas skipper to have scored three centuries in a series after Alastair Cook, overall, he is the sixth batsman to have achieved this feat. Smith is also the first Australian batsman to have plundered three centuries in a series in India.
Smith's evolution has happened at a brisk rate; for the fact that, he has scored 20 centuries within last four years, is no joke. And 99 innings, on a whole. He is behind the legendary Don Bradman, Sunil Gavaskar and Matthew Hayden, who reached the landmark in 55, 95 and 95 games respectively. But one also can't ignore the fact that Smith started off as a bowler and took a while to establish himself as a batsman. Sachin Tendulkar scored 51 Test tons in a career spanning for 24 years and 2000 Tests. Smith has already reached 20 at the age of 27, and one wouldn't be wrong in saying that he could go well past Tendulkar, provided he survives the Test arena for that long.
Smith has garnered 499 runs in 4 Tests so far at a staggering average of 71.28. He also did reasonably well in Sri Lanka averaging just over 41 with a determined ton in the series, where Australia were whitewashed. Unlike David Warner or even Cheteshwar Pujara, Smith is not a home bully. There is no massive difference in Smith's batting average at home and overseas. Smith averages 68.65 at home and 55.84 on away venues as compared to his career average of 61.05. This is a demonstration of his effectiveness across the globe and Smith has done it in his own style.
India have never looked as if they had any kind of plan or strategy to get rid of Smith early on in the innings. He has looked extremely comfortable in confronting the Indian bowlers and his early fall has always been a boon for them. In the Dharamsala Test, Smith scripted history and looked on the top of his game. He scored 111 at a brisk pace and overshadowed the hard-hitting Warner in their 154-run stand for the second wicket. India tried everything possible on the cricket field to get him during the Dharamsala Test, but each move turned out to be futile.
Smith proved his strong character and individuality in the Ranchi Test. After the whole 'brain-fade' episode at Bangalore, cricket resumed at Ranchi. With series being evenly poised, the intensity was on another level. Smith remained unaffected with all the ruckus off the field and scored an unbeaten 178 only to leave India in a state of turmoil after the first innings.
India won the series 2-1, but Smith can walk with his head high. He's been a warrior, and has fought his battle well but lost the war. He has only positives to take from this series, his confidence might be scaling a new high for the fact that he dominated Indian bowlers in their backyard, which is rare. And it won't be wrong to say that Smith will easily make to Australia's All-Time XI by the time he retires.

Q: TFS Java SDK create PendingChange[] object I'm developing a plugin for my software that will manage Microsoft TFS. Each plugin operation(check out, create label, check in, etc.) has to be run individually. My checkout operation creates a workspace, downloads that workspace, and then deletes the workspace mapping, but leaves the files behind to be built or modified.
Now, once the files are modified I need to check them back in. Since I deleted the workspace already, I'll have to make a new one.
I'm having trouble making a PendingChange[] object from the files in the workspace. Could anyone give any samples on how this would be done?
This is the code I'm using to create my workspace, if it helps:
public Workspace createWorkspace(String pWorkspaceName, String pLocalPath, String pServerPath)
{
WorkingFolder[] foldersToMap = null;
if (pServerPath != null && pLocalPath != null)
    {
      final List<WorkingFolder> folderList = new ArrayList<WorkingFolder>();
      folderList.add(new WorkingFolder(pServerPath, LocalPath.canonicalize(pLocalPath), WorkingFolderType.MAP, RecursionType.FULL));
      foldersToMap = folderList.toArray(EMPTY_WORKING_FOLDER_ARRAY);
    }
    else if (pServerPath == null || pServerPath.isEmpty())
    {
      //throw
    }
    else if (pLocalPath == null || pLocalPath.isEmpty())
    {
      //throw
    }

Workspace w =
  mVersionControlClient.createWorkspace(foldersToMap, pWorkspaceName, VersionControlConstants.AUTHENTICATED_USER, VersionControlConstants.AUTHENTICATED_USER, null /*Comment*/,
                                        WorkspaceLocation.SERVER, WorkspaceOptions.NONE);

return w;
}

Microsoft's documentation isn't great on the java sdk, so any help is appreciated.
P.S. If there's anything wrong with my question, or if you want clarification, leave a comment and let me know before you downvote, I'll get it fixed.

A: Workspace ws = vcc.getWorkspace(workspaceName, ownerName);
PendingSet pendings = ws.getPendingChanges();
for (PendingChange pending : pendings.getPendingChanges()) {
    ItemType type = pending.getItemType();
    /*Don't download if it is a Folder*/
    if (type.getWebServiceObject().getName()
            .equals("Folder"))
        continue;
    ChangeType change = pending.getChangeType();
    Item item = vcc.getItem(pending.getServerItem());
    String itemName = StringUtils.getItemName(item.getServerItem());

    /*My business rule: can't download if isn't in Lock with owner*/
    if (!change.toString().contains("(512): Lock")) {
        returns.add(new Return("ERROR", "The object "
+ item.getServerItem()
+ " isn't in Lock with " + owner
+ "."));
            continue;
    }
    String destinationFile = destinationPath + "\\" + itemName;
    item.downloadFile(vcc, destinationFile);

}

Hope to be helpful.

This article ran three weeks ago in the MicroCap Review magazine by StockNewsNow, a US-based microcap media house.
It was written by Brandon Mackie, a prolific investor, writer, and entrepreneur. He is currently Head of Research for Smallcap Discoveries, a paid newsletter focused on discovering Canada's best emerging growth companies.
You can see the original article here on Page 56.
Pop Quiz! Which country has produced – on a percentage basis – more microcap 5-baggers over the past five years?
The US OTC had 113 companies whose shares rose 5x over the past five years, or 1.1% of the 10,584 listed companies. Meanwhile on Canada's Toronto Venture Exchange (TSXV), 54 of the 1,980 listed companies, or 2.7%, reached five-bagger status during the same time period. That means if the future is anything like the past, you are more than twice as likely to find a 5-bagger in Canada vs the US OTC.
That statistic is no coincidence. Once only a mining mecca, the Toronto Venture Exchange has transformed itself into the world's most efficient public venture capital marketplace.
So if thinking about Canadian investing conjures up an image of a slick back haired man holding an ore deposit, we suggest you take a closer look. Here you'll find a vibrant technology and healthcare sector that has outperformed nearly every global market this year.
Hamilton Thorne is a healthcare company we have owned since 2014. Once completely undiscovered, it has become a microcap blue chip today. Shares have gained 820% in just over 3 years.
David's story – along with many other Canadian microcaps we have found – have led us to believe: if you are a US microcap investor and not thinking about Canada, you are crazy.
Today, we'll share our Top 4 reasons why.
Good treasure hunters know there is no point searching where others have looked. The riches are gone. You've got to look in undiscovered places.
The US is the world's premier stock market. If it wasn't competitive enough, investors all over the globe also want to invest there. But in Canada, you'll find far fewer eyeballs on microcaps.
And even within Canada, the whole brokerage industry is built around one thing: the resource sector. These are after all the companies that need to raise tens of hundreds of millions to bring a project to life. That's a lot of fees for the brokers and bankers! What incentive do firms have to research small, profitable companies outside of this sector?
Let their neglect be your opportunity.
One of our biggest winners was XPEL (DAP-U:TSX-V). When we invested in 2013 at $0.17, it was growing 100% year-over-year while trading at 4 times earnings. Shares trade over $5.00 today. It was a gem hiding in plain sight.
Intel (INTC) went public in 1971 at a $8.2 million valuation. Imagine investing in Intel as a microcap. A $10,000 investment in Intel's IPO would be worth $302 million today.
It's the American dream. Well, at least it was. Now companies are staying private longer – opting for a waterfall of VC money over the headaches of going public.
Take SnapChat. At a valuation over $30 billion, most of the upside – you could argue – is already gone. Uber has raised capital at a $70 billion valuation, yet is still private.
What is great for the VCs, is bad for you as a public markets investor. Since 2000, the average number of US smallcap IPOs (<$100M) has fallen a staggering 74% since the 1990's.
Canada has fared better. The VC and private equity industry is less mature compared to the US. Going public is still the route of choice for many innovative, high-growth companies.
Catamaran Corp (CRTX), Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF), and IMAX (IMAX) all got their start as Canadian-listed microcaps. We invested years ago in a company called Bowflex, which made home exercise equipment. It traded at CAD $0.10 (yes, ten cents) and after many years of growth, moved onto the NYSE renamed as Nautilus (NLS). Accounting for splits, shares trade at USD $230 today.
Despite what the media would have you believe, Canada's regulatory framework offers microcap investors as much or more protection than the US.
On the TSX Venture, you cannot do a financing under $0.05 (except under extraordinary circumstances). This means you can't structure a deal where 100M shares are issued at a fraction of a penny to insiders – only to list at $0.10 or $0.20 a few months later.
You also can't do financings lower than 25% of the last trade. This protects investors from the dreaded "death-spiral" financing where shares are issued continuously at ever lower prices.
Lastly, the Venture requires full disclosure of ownership and share structure. There is no hiding the faces behind each deal.
In our opinion, The TSX Venture is the most efficient public venture exchange in the world. This is because the entire infrastructure – from the lawyers to the accountants to investment bankers – is built around bringing small – and we mean really small – companies public on the exchange.
From the fees that service providers charge to less onerous filing requirements, small companies have it easier when it comes to listing in Canada relative to the United States. US investors expect companies to be worth billions before listing, and the whole financial infrastructure has evolved to make that expectation a reality.
Because of Canada's thriving ecosystem of speculative industries – think mining, crypto, and cannabis – there will always be reasons to be cautious of investing in Canadian-listed securities. But investors who can look through the noise can find innovative companies like Shopify (SHOP:TSX), which has returned 897% since its IPO in 2015 or Covalon Technologies (COV:TSX-V) which has returned over 4100% since 2013.
We believe Canadian investing gives Americans the best of both worlds – you get the valuation arbitrage of international investing without the headaches – time zones, language barriers, and immature regulations to name a few.
Over just the past 5 years, we've had the good fortune to invest in 7 companies that increased over 10 times from our purchase price. We believe Canada's non-resource sector is one of the market's best kept secrets. And it's only a matter of time before international investors figure it out.

Thorcon, Defense Ministry to cooperate on thorium nuclear reactor
Jakarta / Tue, July 28, 2020 / 10:05 am

United States-based nuclear company Thorcon International Pte Ltd and Indonesia's Defense Ministry signed a deal on Jul. 22 to study developing a thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) for either power generation or marine vehicle propulsion.
Thorcon said it would provide technical support to the ministry's research and development (R&D) body to develop "a small-scale TMSR reactor under 50 megawatts (MW)", the company wrote in a statement on Friday, Jul. 24,
"[This will] strengthen national security in the outermost, frontier and least developed regions," reads the company's statement.
In a separate statement on Jul. 22, the Defense Ministry said the deal would help it accomplish its 2020-2024 strategic plan but did not mention a planned capacity.
Under the strategic plan, the ministry aims to have an operational molten salt reactor by 2025, which can be used to either generate electricity or power ships and submarines, according to publicly-available slides from the ministry's website.
"We hope Thorcon may be more open toward providing technical support for the Defense Ministry's R&D body in making the designs and technical preparations for when we enter the construction phase," the ministry's statement reads.
At 50 MW, the Defense Ministry's "small-scale" reactor would become the biggest nuclear reactor in Indonesia. The country's current largest reactor – a non-commercial facility – is the 30 MW GA Siwabessy reactor in Serpong, Banten.
The proposed reactor is, however, smaller than a fully commercial 500 MW nuclear power plant that Thorcon has been proposing to develop over the past five years. Existing regulations put such plants in the backseat, behind coal and renewables.
Thorium nuclear technology is also unready for commercial application, National Nuclear Energy Agency (Batan) director Dandang Purwadi told The Jakarta Post earlier this year.
"We have to wait around 10 years for the technology to mature, then it takes 10 years to build the facility", he said, commenting on Thorcon's planned commercial plant.
https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/02/20/this-company-wants-to-build-indonesias-first-commercial-nuclear-power-plant.html
Energy experts speaking at a discussion on Jul. 1 pointed out that nuclear plants were losing popularity and were much more costly than renewables, despite improvements in nuclear plant safety, following headline grabbing meltdowns.
"There were many improvements and, after Fukushima, many new safety standards but, once again, risks can sometimes be identified while, sometimes, they cannot," said Fabby Tumiwa, executive director of think tank Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR).
"Usage of nuclear power plants is entering a sunset phase," said Herman Ibrahim, country chairman of the Paris-based International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE).


Global Business has been a prime target for hackers this year with NotPetya and WannaCry, just two cyber-attacks that have caused havoc and major financial distress to both public and private sector enterprises.
The most recent of these attacks threatening to destablise global businesses is known as 'Bad Rabbit'. This poses as an Adobe update or Flash installer, and is locking computers with a digital key. It then threatens the complete shutdown of company files unless crypto currency is paid.
The Bad Rabbit ransomware spreads through "drive-by attacks" where insecure websites are compromised. "While the target is visiting a legitimate website, a malware dropper is being downloaded from the threat actor's infrastructure," according to analysis by Kaspersky Labs.
Bad Rabbit encrypts the contents of a computer and asks for a payment - in this case 0.05 bitcoins, or about $280 (£213). It's the latest in a year filled with high profile ransomware attacks, so much so that there are reports that say that legal firms are adopting Bitcoin wallets filled and ready to pay the ransom as a last resort.
Unlike NotPetya and WannaCry, it is believed that Bad Rabbit originated from a less sophisticated source. However, that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. It has affected the likes of US, Russia, Japan and Germany.


Andy is 10 years old today! Amazing how the time has passed. He is a big boy, 4' 10, 90 pounds. He is smart and he is lazy. It's a struggle to get him to do work at school. He'd rather ride his bike, play his piano, watch DVDs, play with his game cube. Typical kid things. Though hardly the typical boy. He used up the last diaper the other. He hasn't pooped since. The kid has way too much control over his body and is stubborn as hell. It's not going to be pretty when he finally has to go.Today was Ryan's visit to the dentist. He didn't better than last time but he still hates it. He is so sensitive to taste and is so quick to gag and puke. A few times it was close. He was calm when he had had enough. He didn't scream or cry but say it was bad. I knew not push and I'm sure the dentist and techs thought I was a pushover. But I would rather back off than have to calm him down later.With Ryan being out of school for the rest of the day, I knew Andy would NOT want to be on the bus alone. So I said I would pick him up. But I couldn't find the car rider sign and had to get a new one which put us farther back in the line. Ryan was bored waiting so long. Once we got Andy, we went to Publix for balloons. It was the one thing Andy wanted. He got 2, Cars & Thomas and I let Ryan get one. He first picked out this HUGE one that played music when you knocked it about. Um...no. "I can't get the princess one because it is only for girls." You can get it if you want. He chose not only the Disney princess balloonn but one shaped like a heart. hmm...We came home and let Andy get the rest of his gifts. Books from Aunt Nancy, cards and cash from Uncle Greg and Uncle Steve, and a really nice handmade card from Susan. (OK the Baskin Robbins gift card? That for me. :P ) I got him some more books and Slinky Dog. But the most favored seems to be the balloons. When will I learn? ;) Happy Birthday Andy!


Colored eyeliners are no more a new beauty product, coz now it is colored mascaras. Mascaras are no more restricted to black and brown, you can find them in blue, green, purple etc.
Accentuate the brown eyes with a bright blue mascara.
It looks great on olive skins and hazel brown eyes.
Would you try a colored Masacra? If yes, which color?

Q: Angular default sorting in object I created some object and put key, value into him.
var obj = {};

obj.Z = "val1";
obj.Y = "val2";
obj.X = "val3";

but keys sorting in object by default. In result order next:
X:"val3"
Y:"val2"
Z:"val1"

How does prevent this sorting, that sorting was as had put to original obj?

A: In pure javascript you can do like this

var obj={};
obj.Z = "val1";
obj.Y = "val2";
obj.X = "val3";
var newObj={}

Object.keys(obj)
      .sort()
      .forEach(function(key, value) {
          newObj[key]=obj[key];
       });

console.log(newObj);

Hope this helps

The Nike Football Training Centre in Pimville, Soweto was abuzz with excitement on Wednesday as 12 teams battled it out at the SAFA Under-17 Inter-Provincial Tournament in search of the much sought after Championship. The opening ceremony was attended by FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke and Dr Danny Jordaan, President of the South African Fooball Association (SAFA). They were accompanied by SAFA National Executive Committee members Anthony Reeves and Mzwandile Maforvane.
"Welcome to all of you, you are the future of South African football and you have the potential to represent this country at the next World Cup tournament in Russia in 2018. What we are seeing today is a very important part of development because we need a strong youth football in order to have a competitive senior national team. I would like to commend SAFA with this tournament because it is key to develop from bottom to the top and in that way, this will help South Africa qualify for major tournaments, not just by hosting. The dream of FIFA is to see a strong African football that will be able to compete against the best in the world, and I believe this is a major step taken by SAFA. Good luck to all of the participants, and may the best team win," said Valcke at the opening ceremony.
Some of the talent scouts include Shakes Mashaba, former Bafana Bafana captain Aaron Mokoena, Doctor Khumalo, Alex Heredia, the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper trainer, Molefi Ntseki, Mackey Chenia, Shawn Bishop and Neil Tovey. On the field, Bidvest Wits registered a 1-0 victory over Limpopo in the opening match of the tournament with a Nicholas Ladeira goal. Then Charles Baloyi helped North West to a 1-0 win against the Western Cape in the second match of the day.
Mamelodi Sundowns started with a bang, scoring five past the Western Cape without any reply from the coastal side. Sundowns led 3-0 at the break with goals from Avuyile Mkhundlu, Mnelisi Mbhele and Christopher Kyriacos. Mnelisi Mbhele and Pheko completed the rout in the second half. Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal locked horns in the fourth game of the day that ended in 1-1 stalemate. Ayabulela Tambo and Preston Morris scored for the two sides respectively.
In the fifth match of the day, Kaizer Chiefs emulated Sundowns by also defeating Gauteng 5-0. The final will take place on Sunday at the same venue, starting at 12h30.

Q: Android studio listview change item can anyone help me with changing the name of the item in listview? I don't have an idea how to do it. I am using SQLite database and this is my update name:
public void doneName(String finishedName,int id, String oldName)
    {

        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        String query = "UPDATE " + TABLE_NAME + " SET " + COL2 + " = '" + finishedName + "' WHERE " + COL1 +
                " = '" + id + "'" + " AND " + COL2 + " = '" + oldName + "'";
        db.execSQL(query );
    }

after that in my activity I have set onItemClickListener where it should change name but it does not, it only shows toast:
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                String name = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
                Cursor cursor =th.getItemID(name);
                int itemID = -1;
                while(cursor.moveToNext())
                {
                    itemID = cursor.getInt(0);
                }
                if(itemID>-1) {
                    String item = "Done";
                    th.doneName(item, selectedID, selectedName);
                    Toast.makeText(HomePageActivity.this, "You have accomplished this task!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }}
        });

A: I'm afraid you don't update the instance of the relevant adapter item.
If you have a list of Strings that attached with this ListView Adapter you should initialize the String item at the relevant position with the name you want to show. Then call Adapter.notifyDataSetChanged to refresh all UI elements in the ListView with the updated list.
It seems, that you never update the String instance in your Adapter list

A: You issue is two-fold.

*

*First you are not extracting the updated data from the database (you could assume that the underlying data has been update bit that is risky).

*You are not refreshing the Listview with the changes, so it shows the data it knows about.

I'd suggest utilising a CursorAdapter which can simplify matters as Cursor Adapters are designed for use with Cursors and they especially make all data readily available via the adpater as the Cursor is typically positioned at the appropriate row (e.g. when using onItemClick and onItemLongClick)
The following is an example based upon your code that utilises the SimpleCursorAdapter changing the database and the listview when an item in the list is clicked (to demostrate clicking the same row instead of changing the test to Done it reverses the text so it will will flip for each click).
However, to use a Cursor Adapoter you MUST have a column named _id and that column should be a unique integer (should really be a long rather than int) and typically it would be an alias of the rowid (i.e. defined using _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY (with or without AUTOINCREMENT, best without)). As such there is a constant BaseColumns._ID that contains the value _id.
First the DatabaseHelper (subclass of SQLiteOpenHelper) in this case DatabaseHelper.java :-
public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    public static final String DBNAME = "mydb";
    public static final  int DBVERSION = 1;

    public static final String TABLE_NAME = "mytable";
    /*<<<<<<<<<< id column must be _id (BaseColumns._ID) for Cursor Adapters >>>>>>>>>*/
    public static final String COLID = BaseColumns._ID;
    public static final String COL1 = "mycol1";
    public static final String COL2 = "mycol2";

    public DatabaseHelper(@Nullable Context context) {
        super(context, DBNAME, null, DBVERSION);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_NAME + "(" +
                COLID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, " +
                COL1 + " TEXT, " +
                COL2 + " TEXT " +
                ")"
        );
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {

    }

    public long insert(String col1, String col2) {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
        cv.put(COL1,col1);
        cv.put(COL2,col2);
        return db.insert(TABLE_NAME,null,cv);
    }

    public int doneName(String finishedName,int id, String oldName) {

        /*
            Alternative using the update convenience method
            Based upon :-
            String query = "UPDATE " + TABLE_NAME + " SET " + COL2 + " = '" + finishedName + "' WHERE " + COL1 +
                " = '" + id + "'" + " AND " + COL2 + " = '" + oldName + "'";

                writes the SQL for you.
                protects against SQL Injection
                returns the number of rows updated
         */
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
        cv.put(COL2,finishedName);
        return db.update(TABLE_NAME,cv,COLID + "=? AND " + COL2 + "=?",new String[]{String.valueOf(id),oldName});
    }

    public Cursor getAll() {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        return db.query(TABLE_NAME,null,null,null,null,null,null);
    }
}

*

*Three custom methods insert (inserts a row), getAll (returns a Cursor with all the rows) and your doneName method (rewritten to take advantage the the update convenience method).

*You may notice the absence of any methods to convert extracted data into a List/ArrayList/Array of objects. This is because there is no need when using a Cursor adapter.

*Note that you can use your own layouts with SimpleCursorAdapter (4th (String[]) and 5th (int[]) are used to specify the column that the data comes from and the id of the respective view into which the data goes to)

Result :-
When initially run you get :-

Clicking a row and you get :-

If you then click all rows you get :-

And so on.


This thread is intended to serve as a table of content for AWBW bugs and glitches. The details about specific bugs should probably be in a thread on its own. At a later step each point may get a link to some thread about details.
The starting point for this list is http://awbw.wikia.com/wiki/Glitches.
Disclaimer: These bugs will not be addressed. You play on maps with black tiles at your own risk!
4.) If a unit bumps into a unit directly when exiting black squares, the unit does not move at all and can still move (again). If the unit tries to go there again, the move still does not work and the unit cannot move again. The unit does not move closer to the black squares, it stays at its starting point. This only applies in Fog of War.
If units are placed on a map without their corresponding HQ or Lab, they will disappear at the start of any game on that map (Note: This happens even if a player changes their country/color to match these predeployed units on the map). During the game, the locations in which the units were deployed on the map cannot be used to build or spawn units, including from Hachi/Sensei CO powers. These properties can still repair and supply as they normally would. Ghosted production facilities will display a red x icon when the cursor hovers over them during gameplay to indicate that these properties cannot be used to build units; normal production facilities will display a wrench icon instead. Ghost units no longer cause any other effects, such as preventing unloading or joining of units.
While this may be seen as a glitch, it has been used deliberately by many map makers as an integral part of their map design and, as a result, these ghost unit effects will not be "fixed".
10.) Flak uses his AWDS portrait when the portrait theme is set to AW1.
Flak and Nell use their AWDS portraits when the map theme is set to Animated.
12.) Black bombs are not included in the damage calculator. (fixed by Walker 2017-11).
14.) The game did not end when the only opponent was routed (and had no units left, even though the properties turned neutral. http://awbw.amarriner.com/replay.php?games_id=256263&ndx=81 (I could end my turn at it would but it wouldn't turn into the next day until two turns passed. I moved on turn 83/84 and both were day 43. So on. Until I finally captured the final base.) (reported by Zero) (fixed by Walker 2017-12).
17.) [FOG] Sometimes you can attack unit on forest without discovering it first. If the player moves next to the forest then builds or unloads he can still fire into the forest. This glitch also works vs stealths (details from benbever). (fixed by Walker 2017-12).
I think this bug happens when an inf or mech would go to the city square because the game thinks the capturing points must be reset for the new inf. It does not happen with other units since the capturing point number does not matter if no unit is on the city which could capture the city (fixed by Walker 2018-01).
If you have additional bugs or glitches to add to the list or additional information about unconfirmed reported bugs or glitches, please reply to this thread or report to Walker via PM or the AWBW Discord server.
1.) Transports are able to load and unload multiple units per turn, including after moving.
2.) In AWBW, loading eligibility is based on the unit being loaded. For example, if a lander is on a square an infantry can move onto, then you can load it. On the cart, a unit can only be loaded if both the transport and the unit to be loaded can enter the square where the unit shall be loaded onto the transport.
3.) Cruisers in AWBW are a combination of their AW2 and AWDS form. In AW2, cruisers were unable to attack other sea units apart from subs, but in AWDS, cruisers were given a weak attack against other sea units. When AWDS units were added to AWBW (which predates AWDS), the new sea units that were introduced retained their vulnerability to cruisers while the existing AW2 units did not change. As a result, AWBW cruisers cannot attack battleships, landers, or other cruisers, but they can attack both black boats and carriers for low damage or subs for high damage, as usual.
4.) [TAGS] On AWDS COP charge speed only decreased when the specific CO uses a power, not per side. (thanks to Visage for testing this) Potentially fixed with game.php update. This needs to be confirmed.
This second list is for bugs which do not directly affect game play.
After/during the server migration, tiles greater than 333 wouldn't save any edits. For new maps that means ocean tiles and for uploaded maps it just won't change anything you have.
This one used to be an issue with Sonja's SCOP, but to the extent of my knowledge, that was fixed a couple years back by Walker. I can't promise that the issue still doesn't pop up or that it hasn't resurfaced since the server migration. Also, if this is seen in any context outside of Sonja's SCOP, then I don't think it was addressed.
The AW2 theme seems to have trouble displaying maps correctly. AW1 works fine.
Yeah, this is an important one (especially for newbies). Thanks! Integrated it in the OP.
I will take a look at the discord server tonight. It has been a while.
FYI, I fixed the bug where CO powers didn't load properly on day 1. This only affected games with predeployed units that could fire on day 1.
Flak uses his AWDS portrait when the portrait theme is set to AW1.
More bugs fixed and added to the "fixed bugs" list in the title post.
I fixed the aforementioned CO portrait but that phineas reported last month.

Kinetic Solvent Isotope Effects
In many cases, the reaction rate is influenced by an isotopic exchange even if it is an atom of the solvent, rather than that of a reactant that has been exchanged for one of its isotopes. Such an effect is called kinetic solvent isotope effect. This effect can occur, for instance, when the solvent H2O is exchanged for D2O, or when C2H5OH is exchanged for C2H5OD.
Principally speaking, kinetic solvent isotope effects depict all known values from primary and secondary kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD about 0.7 to 8). This range of kH/kD values is the result of the fact that kinetic solvent isotope effects, in reality, are "hidden" primary or secondary kinetic isotope effects.
Take a look at the acid-catalysed cleavage of ethyl vinyl ether, for instance.
Acid-catalysed cleavage of ethyl vinyl ether.
Essentially, there are three factors that lead to kinetic solvent isotope effects:
Solvent molecules participate as reactants in the reaction. Depending on the other preconditions, actual primary or secondary kinetic isotope effects then appear. In the ethyl vinyl ether cleavage, for example, the solvent molecule H3O+ serves as a reactant. In connection with H1, a primary kinetic isotope effect occurs, while a secondary kinetic isotope effect results with H2 and H3.
The transition state of the reaction can be stabilized by interactions between the reactants and solvent molecules. The extent of these interactions in isotope-substituted solvents can differ from that in the original solvent. As a result, the transition state's energy and thus, the activation energy Ea of the respective reaction step (elementary reaction) are altered. If this particular reaction step is the rate-determining step, the result is a kinetic isotope effect. The positively charged transition state of the ethyl vinyl ether cleavage, for example, interacts with the polar water molecules to a considerable degree.
Especially in acidic, deuterated solvents (e.g. D2O or C2H5OD), an H/D exchange or a D transfer between the solvent molecules and the reactants can occur. Consequently, an actual primary or secondary kinetic isotope effect is obtained. After it has been transferred to ethyl vinyl ether, D (H2) could cause a secondary kinetic isotope effect if the rate-determining step still follows.
Data about the the rate-determining step and the structure of the transition state, as well as the participation of solvent molecules in the reaction by either solvating the transition state or acting as reactants can be inferred from kinetic solvent isotope effects and not only from pure and obvious primary or secondary kinetic isotope effects. It should be taken into consideration that the formerly mentioned causes of kinetic isotope effects can occur simultaneously and can enhance each other, as is the case in the ethyl vinyl ether cleavage.

ASPECTFX: A framework for supporting collaborative works in RIA by aspect oriented approach
Hiroaki Fukuda, Yoshikazu Yamamoto
This paper presents AspectFX, a novel approach to enabling developers and designers to collaborate effectively in RIA development. Unlike traditional web applications, RIAs are implemented by a number of developers and designers; therefore it is reasonable to divide an application into modules and assign them to developers and designers, and collaborative works among them have been important. MVC architecture and OOP helps to divide an application into functional units as modules and bring efficiency to development processes. To play these modules as a single application, developers have to describe method invocations to utilize functionalities implemented in modules, however, developers need to describe additional method invocations that are not primary tasks for them. These additional method invocations make the dependencies among modules strong and these dependencies make it inefficient/difficult to implement and maintain an application. This paper describes the design and implementation of AspectFX that introduces aspect-oriented concept and considers the additional method invocations as cross-cutting concerns. AspectFX provides methods to separate the cross-cutting concerns from primary concerns and weaves them for playing them as an application.

If you have been trying to cut back on sugar to shed a few pounds, you may not be on the right track, according to the results of a new study.
Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine USA found that the brain can tell the difference between real and artificial sugar. When you eat foods containing artificial sweeteners, your brain can't tell the difference and makes up for it by giving you even more cravings for sweets later on.
It's not just in the little packets….If you think about artificial sweetener as only the stuff in the little packets that you mix into coffee, you are missing some of the picture. Artificial sweeteners are used in a number of commercial foods, and in the U.S. about 30 percent of foods are sweetened with sugar substitutes.
In the study, researchers focused their attention on specific brain signals that are associated with determining the difference between sugar and artificial sweeteners. These signals regulate level of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that controls behavior and emotional responses. It is linked with the ability to feel pleasure and pain, and is also linked to addiction.
Using a group of laboratory mice, researchers looked for specific brain circuits while the animals were being fed either sugar or artificial sweeteners. The data they collected found that when hungry mice (who have low sugar levels) are allowed to choose between real sugar and artificial sweeteners, they are more likely to choose the real sugar. The mice preferred the natural product, even when the natural product was much sweeter than the sugar.
If you are looking for a sugar substitute that won't lead to cravings for more sweets, there is a way to resolve this dilemma. The results of the study, which were published in the Journal of Physiology, suggest that combining the artificial sweeteners with a small amount of sugar to keep energy metabolism up is a viable solution.

U.S. Capitol to Fly a Flag Honoring Survivors of Sexual Violence
The U.S. Capitol will ring in the new year by flying a flag in honor of survivors of childhood sexual abuse. We are grateful for this display of support and are hopeful that legislators will follow it up by taking up legislation in 2020 that will protect children and prevent future cases of abuse.
On January 1, the U.S. Capitol will fly a flag "in honor of survivors and victims of childhood sex abuse" thanks to a request made by Senator John Cornyn III. This show of solidarity and support for survivors of sexual violence is a powerful gesture by Senator Cornyn and we are grateful to him and his office for this show of support. We hope that that legislators around the country will follow in Senator Cornyn's footsteps and take steps to promote the protection of children and support of survivors by taking up needed reforms during this upcoming year.
At a national level, legislators can follow up this display with action by holding hearings on cases of institutional sexual abuse, using their power as national leaders to demand answers from institutional leaders about cases of sexual abuse and cover-ups that have taken place in churches, universities, and youth groups nationwide. Such hearings can draw the public's attention to these cases, channel public outrage in action and force institutions to do better.
At a state level, legislators can help by introducing "window to justice" legislation that would allow claims that have been barred by statute of limitations to be heard in civil court. This legislation was passed in New Jersey, New York, and California in the past year and has led to a deluge of abusers being publicly identified and can help ensure that the institutions that enabled those abusers can be held responsible. When this information is made public, communities are better informed and parents are better able to protect their children.

(SNAP, the Survivors Network, has been providing support for victims of sexual abuse in institutional settings for 30 years. We have more than 25,000 survivors and supporters in our network. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)
Kathy Johnson commented 2020-01-02 12:18:46 -0600
Richard, you are absolutely correct. EVERYONE must help prevent child abuse. Support policies that make remove the obstacles blocking every survivor from getting their well-deserved justice regardless of the who the politician is proposing them. Rapists do not care what political persuasion a person is, or what race or sex or religion. We absolutely should never make that an issue or ever bring politics into such a serious non-partisan issue. thanks for the post.
Richard Windmann commented 2020-01-02 10:17:17 -0600
I was hoping this would not become political. Stopping the sexual abuse of our children is an issue everyone can get behind, regardless of a person's political persuasion. I am respectfully asking survivors and victims to support one another, and please do not let personal politics get in the way of your well-deserved justice.
Patricia Quirk commented 2020-01-01 09:29:42 -0600
Thank you for this support.
Tossing out Trump is not honoring this survivor, I look forward to 4 more years, and my rapist in prison for the rest of his life.
Nancy Mayer commented 2019-12-31 16:57:39 -0600
They could further honor survivors of sexual violence by throwing the sex offender POTUS out of office and charging him for his crimes.
Randy Orso commented 2019-12-31 15:22:41 -0600
I would settle for laws that charge the coverup artists like Archbishop Sean Cardinal O'Malley, what good is this flag when people go unpunished!

Record numbers of students joined winter basketball and soccer to play and learn by doing. Nueva's K-8 Physical Education Teacher and Athletics Coordinator and two faculty coaches reflect on The Nueva Way in their successful 2019 season.
Nueva's fields and courts were busy this winter. What's the story?
"Participation was amazing for both the boys' and the girls' teams! And they came to play -- even though many teams had practices cancelled and games rescheduled by adverse weather and smoke from the northern California fires, they were determined.
What is the narrative of Nueva Athletics? What were the essential elements for your basketball teams?
"Nueva's cornerstone social-emotional learning (SEL) philosophy runs through Nueva Athletics. Life lessons show up regularly, and at Nueva, we shine a light on these moments. We strive to instill a love of sports AND an understanding of the fairness of play. On the court, students expand their SEL skills: self-awareness, self management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Sports have always been a big part of my life, and I admit that I always go in wanting to see our players win. However, at the same time that we are teaching them to shoot, we spend time on goal-setting, team-building, and strategic thinking. We wrap it all in reflection and appreciation for one another -- and all of this is more important than whether they win or lose.
Some of these students are really young. What happens when the competition gets tough?
"Yes, sometimes there's intensity, when the competition builds in those neck-and-neck games. This is where Nueva's culture shines through.
Ultimately, playing a team sport is about the importance of relationships. We challenge the players to think about how their actions on and off the court impact the team. In the same way, we teach them how to channel gametime emotions in ways that help the team. If they were upset about a call or previous play, they practice using their emotions to play even harder or smarter. They see the impact on the court, and these become life lessons that we hope will stay with them.
Building relationships is woven through my experience, too. Having the opportunity to both teach and coach eighth graders was wonderful because I really got to know my student-athletes. I was impressed with their level of commitment, felt their respect, and through this, we achieved something important together."
The girls' soccer program included 37 athletes, including many who had never played before. They formed two teams, one varsity and one JV, and the varsity team went undefeated!
Boys' basketball broke participation records with eight teams, 79 students from fourth through eighth grade. There were three varsity, and five JV teams including our youngest team of (mostly) fourth graders who finished the season 6-1.
Girls' basketball had a blast with 50 athletes fielding five teams. While many of the teams finished 50/50 on the season, the fun ran all the way to the games they played against each other, including the end of season, JV A team's Mother/Daughter celebratory game. Ask the girls who won!
Boys' soccer grew this year as 52 players joined two varsity and one JV team. Coaches reported to Alyssa that they "felt supported by their athletes!" Students stepped up to leadership roles, and some students took notes when not playing. They used this in team meetings to give feedback on performance and to appreciate each other.


Los Angeles: This afternoon, two men were shot at while driving northbound on the 110 freeway.
At about 2:10 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, 47-year old James Wiggins and 43-year old Willie Burke, both residents of Los Angeles, were driving northbound on the 110 freeway just south of Redondo Beach Blvd in Wiggins' 1997 white Pontiac Grand Am.
Without warning, from a vehicle on the driver's side of the victim's car, suspect(s) fired several times from an unknown type of handgun. Mr. Wiggins, the driver, was struck in the upper torso and head by the gunshots, causing his vehicle to veer off the freeway, onto the shoulder and collide with a wall.
A private ambulance crew from American Medical Response witnessed the traffic collision and rendered first aid to Mr. Wiggins. Mr. Wiggins was taken to Harbor UCLA Medical Center where he died as a result of his injuries.
Mr. Burke, the passenger in the vehicle, sustained injuries caused by the traffic collision and is in stable condition.
The motive is unknown. There is no indication of the victims being involved in any dispute with motorists while they were driving..
The Los Angeles Police Department is asking for the public's assistance. Anyone with information about the accident, shooting or events leading up to shooting, are urged to call Southeast Homicide detectives at (213) 972-7816. On weekends and during off-hours, call the 24-hour toll free number at the Detective Information Desk at 1-877-LAWFULL (1-877-529-3855).
