Alfaro showcases skill set in Saguaros' comeback
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Fall League was invented for players like Jorge Alfaro.View Full Game Coverage
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Fall League was invented for players like Jorge Alfaro.View Full Game Coverage
The Rangers' top prospect clearly has the raw talent to project as a big league catcher. He's athletic, he's powerful and he's instinctive.
But -- at the age of 20 -- Alfaro and the Rangers are still trying to turn "raw talent" into "talent," which is why he's here in the AFL, honing those skills. First and foremost, Alfaro says, he's trying to get a feel of how to call a game.
"There are some pretty good hitters here, so [I'm] learning pitch sequences," Alfaro said, with pitcher Noe Ramirez serving as his translator. "The biggest thing [I'm] learning is how to call a game, getting to know each pitcher."
With Alfaro anchoring the club behind the plate, the Saguaros have earned a berth in Saturday's championship game, where they will face either Mesa or Salt River. On Tuesday, Alfaro pounded out three hits in a come-from-behind 9-7 victory over Scottsdale, which kept Surprise atop the race for the Fall League's best record.
All of Alfaro's tools were on full display, too. In the fifth inning, he chopped an RBI double over the third-base bag and hustled into second ahead of the throw. A half-inning later, he sprung from his crouch on a bunt attempt and made a nifty sliding catch directly behind home plate.
"He has a lot of tools, and The Texas Rangers are very lucky to have him," Saguaros manager Gary Kendall said. "He's a very talented guy that has great arm strength, good blocking skills, he's smart, he's alert, he has agility -- and that's just talking defensively.
"Offensively, the guy moves well around the bases, he's got power to all fields, and he's got baseball sense."
With Surprise trailing, 6-1, in the bottom of the fourth inning, Alfaro sprayed a single to left field, loading the bases. It set the stage for fellow Rangers farmhand Ryan Rua to put the Saguaros right back in the game with a grand slam, his fourth homer of the season.
Surprise scored four runs in the following frame, too, showcasing an offense that has been the Fall League's most potent this season. Red Sox first base prospect Travis Shaw also had three hits, and leadoff man Joe Wendle -- in the Cleveland organization -- went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk.
But none of them used the entire field like Alfaro did on Tuesday. After hits down the left-field line and into the left-center field gap, Alfaro fell behind the count in the seventh inning before smacking a single to right field.
"I'm simply seeing the ball and wherever I see it, I'm going with it," Alfaro said of his ability to hit to all fields. "And that's something that's been working pretty well."

WASHINGTON — President Obama named White House budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell to take over the implementation of the Affordable Care Act on Friday, saying there was "no manager as experienced and competent" to run the next phase of his signature domestic program.
"Sylvia was a rock, a steady hand on the wheel" as the administration dealt with the government shutdown last year, Obama told a crowd gathered in the White House Rose Garden for the announcement. "Once the government was allowed to reopen, Sylvia was vital to winning the two-year budget agreement that put an end to these manufactured crises that we had seen here in Washington so that we could keep our full focus on growing the economy and creating new jobs and expanding opportunity for everybody who's seeking opportunity."
Burwell's confirmation hearings to head the Department of Health and Human Services are likely to be boisterous, however, as Republicans use it to take the opportunity to dissect the healthcare law's shortcomings and focus on potential problems in the implementation. The healthcare law, known popularly as Obamacare, is shaping up to be one of the most prominent themes of the 2014 election cycle.
But Burwell has already won some GOP support. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) complimented her as an able leader, albeit for a program he would like to repeal. Even without Republican support, Burwell is certain to be confirmed by Senate Democrats under new filibuster rules that require a simple majority.
Burwell's nomination follows the resignation of Kathleen Sebelius, who ran the agency for a five-year period that included the planning and launch of the health law's new online insurance marketplaces last fall. The disastrous start of the federal portal threatened the viability of Obamacare and now endangers Democrats who supported it as they face reelection in November.
Although the HealthCare.gov website has been fixed and 7.5 million people have enrolled in coverage through the state and federal websites, uncertainty about the administration's ability to implement the law still dogs the program in its critical first year.
Advisors to the president say he is putting his best organizational player into the position. A veteran of the Clinton administration, Burwell served as head of two major philanthropic organizations before joining the Obama administration. She graduated with honors from Harvard University and holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy, politics and economics from Oxford University, where she was a Rhodes Scholar.
In a year marked by contentious battles over other nominations, Burwell was confirmed, 96-0, to her current post last April, a fact that Democrats hope will smooth not only the confirmation process, but also the Obamacare debate.
"She starts out from a very high place in terms of support on the Hill," said a Democratic leadership aide. "Obviously HHS is a different job, but it's pretty hard to walk away from a unanimous vote."
Though not a regular presence on Capitol Hill, Burwell has worked with lawmakers because her department has to approve agency rules and regulations. The aide, who requested anonymity to candidly discuss the situation, also noted that Burwell was a point person during the government shutdown last October, when the Office of Management and Budget assumed a "quarterback level" position.
Appearing with the president for the announcement on Friday, Burwell said she was excited about the nomination to "carry on the important work" at Health and Human Services.
Also in the Rose Garden was Sebelius, whom the president praised for her devotion to the cause of healthcare reform. He predicted she would go down in history for holding the position when the United States decided that quality, affordable healthcare was a right.
Under her leadership, Obama said, the Department of Health and Human Services righted the healthcare marketplaces, "got it fixed, got the job done, and the final score speaks for itself."
[For the Record, April 11, 10:50 a.m.: An earlier headline on this post misspelled Sylvia Burwell's last name as Burrell.]

Jailhouse motion claims unauthorized use; cable channel claims prior restraint
Christopher Porco, who is serving 46 years to life for the murder of his father and attempted murder of his mother, was granted an emergency court order this week that may prevent the Lifetime Network from airing an upcoming movie about his case.
The movie — "Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story" — is scheduled to air Saturday night on Lifetime Network.
State Supreme Court Justice Robert J. Muller, who is based in Warren County, issued an order Tuesday granting Porco's jailhouse motion, which claims the movie is an unauthorized and fictional account of his story that was created for commercial gain.
Porco's complaint is dated Jan. 29, but Muller waited until this week to issue a temporary restraining order in Clinton County, where Porco is incarcerated at a state prison in Dannemora. Muller, who hears cases in Clinton and Essex counties, set a hearing date of April 26.
Attorneys for Lifetime Entertainment Services Inc. responded Wednesday by filing an emergency motion with the state Appellate Division's 3rd Department in Albany that seeks to vacate Muller's order. They argue Porco's legal argument is flawed, the judge's decision is unconstitutional and that the restraining order should not have been issued because it's based "solely on Porco's unsubstantiated allegation that the movie was fictionalized."
"In fact, the essential elements of the movie are true and accurate, and based on court and police records, interviews with persons involved, and historical and other documents," states the motion filed by Lifetime's attorneys, Michael J. Grygiel of Albany and David A. Schulz of Manhattan. "Indeed, more than two hundred years of unbroken precedent establish a 'virtually insurmountable barrier' against the issuance of just the sort of prior restraint on a media outlet granted by the Supreme Court here."
Porco filed his motion without an attorney.
Grygiel said Muller's ruling "constitutes a prior restraint that is presumptively invalid under the First Amendment."
In court papers, Porco claims the movie, which is "based on a true story," is an unauthorized use of his name and likeness for commercial purposes.
"The use by defendant of plaintiffs name, likeness, and personality for purposes of trade, advertising and commercial benefit, was without the consent, written or oral, of plaintiff or anyone authorized to give such consent, was entirely unauthorized, and constitutes a violation of ... the civil rights law of the state of New York," Porco wrote.
Porco's complaint states he "absolutely maintains his innocence, and is currently appealing his conviction." However, Porco's appeals had been exhausted when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case after New York's Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction.
The emergency motion filed by Lifetime's attorneys indicates Muller granted the injunction "upon Porco's unvarnished allegation that Lifetime's movie about his trial — which he has never seen — provides a 'fictionalized' account, and therefore uses his name for 'purposes of trade' in violation of N.Y. Civil Rights Law." The network's motion indicates Muller issued the order by relying on a 52-year-old New York County case in which constitutional free speech and First Amendment arguments were not even raised.
"This is not a case where national security concerns are in jeopardy," states the motion filed by Grygiel and Schulz. "It is not even a case involving potential irreparable injury from the disclosure of trade secrets or other confidential information — it involves a movie based on the public facts of a murder prosecution. While plaintiff may not want the story of his crime repeated in a television movie, the constitutional protection of speech and press on matters of public concern flatly prevent the issuance of an order enjoining the broadcast of the movie."
It's unclear when the 3rd Department will rule on the emergency motion.
Porco, a former college student from Bethlehem, was convicted in 2006 of using an ax to kill his father, Peter, and attempting to murder his mother, Joan, who was severely disfigured in the attack. The couple were attacked in their Bethlehem home on Nov. 15, 2004.
Porco, now 29, was convicted in a 2006 trial that was moved from Albany to Orange County because of pretrial publicity.
His co-defense attorney, Terence L. Kindlon, said he no longer represents Porco.
"I had nothing to do with it," Kindlon said. "He's very knowledgeable and he's got a lot of time on his hands."

Fort Lauderdale-based yacht interior designer Patrick Knowles has gained a worldwide reputation for creating one-of-a-kind interiors for some of the most luxurious yachts.
The yacht interior design work created by his company is varied, and recent projects have included Trinity Yachts' 164-foot M/Y Lady Sura and the 190-foot M/Y Mi Sueno, delivered in 2012 and 2010 respectively.
Knowles has worked as a yacht and aircraft interior designer for nearly 30 years. He was recently selected as a judge for the 2013 ShowBoats Design Awards, an international superyacht competition that takes place in Monaco June 21.
Friday, the Sun Sentinel sat down with Knowles, 48, at his design studio at 2030 NE 18th St. to talk about his career, industry trends and how business is faring post-recession.
The responses have been edited for clarity and brevity.
Tell us something about your background. I grew up in the Bahamas as the ninth of 10 siblings. I came to the U.S. at age 17 to go to college, and I've been in Fort Lauderdale since. I have a design degree from the Art Institute in Fort Lauderdale.
How did you get into yacht design? I always knew I wanted to do something with design, as I had an affinity for creating things, but actually wanted to be a pilot first. My mom discouraged that idea after my older brother was in a plane crash but luckily survived. I started working in the marine and aviation industries about the same time, first designing aircraft for private, VIP and head-of-state customers. In 1993, I became a partner in a yacht interior design firm Merritt Knowles Designs, and in 1999 I launched Patrick Knowles Designs.
How has the yacht design business been? It's been an amazing journey. In 2000 business really took off, and through 2008 we were designing 9 to 11 yachts on average at any given time, with some projects lasting four to five years and others overlapping. Today we're designing about 3 yachts on average, but our business has diversified, and we're doing work in residences in New York, Key Largo (Ocean Reef), the Bahamas and London for our yacht clients. While yacht projects have subsided a little, those same clients have increased their land-based projects.
Who are your yacht customers? The lion's share is American.
Do you have a particular style of yacht interior designing? No, I'm always challenged by creating something different. I want the design to be different for everyone. I want to know how the person lives, what they like so I can incorporate these personal touches in the yacht design.
Who do you normally work for? We work for the yacht owners directly. We design for them and represent them at the shipyard to make sure the design is being implemented as specified, and we're onboard consistently throughout its building. Aside from yacht interiors, we also work on the "exterior styling," which is the design of how the vessel looks as it sits on the water.
Do yacht clients visit the Fort Lauderdale design studio? Yes, we host them in our conference room, which has a portfolio of the work we've done on display, and we can go over designs and drawings there with them.
Tell me about a current yacht project? I'm working on a 160-foot Feadship yacht at Rybovich Shipyard in West Palm Beach for a foreign national. It's a classically styled motoryacht from the 1980s that the owner is revitalizing to bring it up-to-date with modern technologies while retaining the classic and timeless elegance of its heritage.
Do you work with local companies to source design materials? Yes. We've worked with products in our designs that have been made by Fort Lauderdale companies or by local artists and craftsmen. We've also sourced items from suppliers at DCOTA, the Design Center of the Americas in Dania Beach.
What's the best part of your job? It's gratifying to see the reactions of an owner when you've been able to create an environment that primarily existed in someone's mind and then meet or exceed their expectations.
What's the average cost of your yacht design projects? It's a seven-figure endeavor. On average we work on yachts that have a total delivery cost of $30 million to more than $60 million.
What's new with the business? We're venturing into product design, for example, designing china, furnishings and lighting, etc. I also manage Turner Bay, a high-end store that sells fine home accessories, china, lighting and linens that I co-founded in 2002 with my late wife Sheila, who passed away last year of breast cancer. We met shortly after I graduated from design school and were married 26 years. In April I relocated the shop from North Federal Highway into a space adjacent to my Fort Lauderdale design studio to consolidate operations.

The Federal Reserve, releasing details of how it conducted "stress tests" on the nation's 19 largest financial institutions, said "most banks currently have capital levels well in excess of the amounts needed to be well capitalized."
But the banks need to hold a "substantial" amount of capital above regulatory requirements to weather a potential worsening of the economic recession, the eagerly awaited report said.
The report said the tests are a "forward-looking exercise designed to estimate losses, revenues and reserve needs" under two different macroeconomic scenarios, including an adverse one.
According to the report, the "banks were asked to project their credit losses and revenues for two years."
The process "involves the projection of losses on loans, assets held in investment potfolios and trading-related exposures, as well as the firm's capacity to absorb losses in order to determine a sufficient capital level to support lending."
The stress tests included two economic scenarios. In terms of the unemployment rate, the worse case was assumed to be 10 percent, housing prices are assumed to be 10 percent lower at the end of 2010 than the more likely baseline scenario. The baseline jobless rate averages 9.8 percent.
In terms of GDP scenarios, the stress tests assume baseline levels of minus 2 percent in 2009 and plus 2.1 percent in 2010.
The adverse scenario levels are negative 3.3 percent this year and growth of just 0.5 percent next year The tests also ask banks to provide projections of "resources available to absorb losses under two scenarios" over a two-year period.
The tests also ask banks to provide projections of "resources available to absorb losses under two scenarios" over a two-year period.
Reaction to the criteria and methodology of the tests was muted.
James Paulsen of Wells Capital Management, for instance, was underwhelmed.
Paulsen says he "didn't have great expectations" in the tests, and was expecting to "find out most the banks are OK, which is what we knew going in."
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) called the tests "a good idea to evaluate the strength of the banks and publicize it" because "there is anxiety out there."
The government last week announced a two-stage disclosure process, wherein the test criteria would be outlined today and the actual test results on May 4.
The tests are meant to see how the institution's balance sheets can hold up under a number of economic and financial circumstances, including a deterioration of the current recession. That would include the unemployment rate, which would would lead to higher mortgage delinquencies and home foreclosures.
CNBC has reported on several occasions since the tests were announced in February that one of the capital criteria preferred by the government is tangible common equity. TCE essentially measures the book value of common shares, excluding such intangibles as goodwill and deferred taxes. The target level is thought to be 3 percent of so-called risk-weighted assets.
The tests—performed on the 19 largest financial institutions—have been something of a political hot potato for the Obama administration, since they were first announced in February as the Treasury was outlining the various parts of its financial stability plan.
There's also been widespread speculation about the banks involved, but based on assets, loan portfolios and other key measures, it would certainly include Citigroup , Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) , JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) and other big firms that have received TARP funds.
The introduction of a new closely-watched capital metric, which the Treasury has previously said it did not intend to do, would be significant.
Under current banking regulations, the capital requirements of banks are based on Tier 1 and Tier 2 ratios, which measure capital against risk-weighted assets.
Tier 1 is the more important of the two and basically consists of shareholder equity, retained profits and good will, minus accumulated losses. Banking analysts say the industry prefers the Tier-1 metric.
Though the administration said the tests were not "pass/fail", many in the markets say they will inevitably lead to a perception of winners and losers within the industry, with the weaker banks becoming suspect, which could depress their stock prices.
The tests will be used to decide which firms are under capitalized. Regulators will then ask the banks to raise private capital over the next six months. If unsuccessful, the institution will be eligible for new capital injections through the Treasury's capital access program, or CAP.
That program comes with a number of controversial stipulations, including limits on executive compensation and rigorous reporting rules.

State police arrested a 33-year-old man who allegedly walked up to a Long Island McDonald's drive-thru window and threatened to shoot employees unless the worker at the window gave him some hamburgers.
Juan Mendez-DePaz allegedly told the worker he had two guns in his vest when he went to the fast-food restaurant in Riverside early Sunday.
The worker closed the window and called 911.
State troopers responded and confronted Mendez-DePaz in the parking lot. He was still wearing the cowboy hat and black vest described in the McDonald's worker's 911 call, police said.
The suspect displayed a large knife on his hip, and was taken into custody after a brief struggle, state police said.
Mendez-DePaz was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree robbery.
Information on an attorney for him wasn't immediately available.

I am looking at a number of possible options for load-balancing.
So far, I am constrained to the following options:
DNS server load-balancer, balancing to a cluster of tomcat servers, with terracotta for session replication. Pros - don't have to buy new kit. Cons - DNS lb can keep directing to a broken server.
Hardware load-balancer, direct to cluster of tomcat servers. Pros - could have second box for failover lb. Cons - expense.
Apache server load-balancer. Pros - apache's lb polls for broken servers. Cons - apache server is single point of failure, plus need to buy another server.
Are there any other options I should consider?
Update: Thanks for all the answers so far +1's all round. Not accepting an answer yet, to keep more ideas coming.

Solutions for all your bike parking needs.
No matter what your type of cycling, Securabike aims to provide practical and easy to use bike parking equipment for your arrival at any location. While commercial bicycle parking solutions are a specialty, Securabike also offer domestic racks for your home or garage, temporary racks for sales or hire and even scooter racks for schools. Commercial bicycle parking products include bike racks, bike rails, bicycle cages, bicycle lockers, bicycle shelters, end of journey facilities and accessories such as bicycle repair stations, bicycle signage and clothes lockers.
For over 18 years Securabike has provided cyclists and clients catering for cyclists such as property managers, the largest range of bike parking options available. Cycling has exploded in use in Australia and not all purchasers of bike parking equipment for commercial projects are regular cyclists. Here at Securabike we have tried to make life easy for specifiers such as architects and construction companies often responsible for installing such equipment in projects. Property managers are also regular customers that need to manage and maintain bicycle parking. To this end, our Securabike website and Bicycle Parking Handbook (comprehensive 121 page guide) explains to the A to Z of bike parking requirements including:
Design is our strength and we can assist bicycle parking projects on layout and spacing options from one to bike to hundreds. This is provided for commercial projects where space is a premium and bicycle parking demand is strong. Securabike often see bike parking facilities over subscribed and the challenge arises on how to fit in as many bicycles as possible, while still providing functional access and usable bike parking equipment. Contact our offices for further assistance on your project and product drawings are also downloadable for specifiers doing their own layouts.

Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT) is an eight-week program designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for oneself and for others.
CCT integrates traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion. The CCT protocol was developed at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University by a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers.
Compassion is a process that unfolds in response to suffering. It begins with the recognition of suffering, which gives rise to thoughts and feelings of empathy and concern. This, in turn, motivates action to relieve that suffering.
Humans have a natural capacity for compassion. However, everyday stress, social pressures and life experiences can make it difficult to fully express this capacity. Each of us can choose to nurture and grow the compassionate instinct, like a plant that is carefully cultivated from a seed. This process requires patience, steady care, helpful tools, and a supportive environment.
The process of cultivating compassion involves training our own minds, developing specific skills in how we relate to others and ourselves, and intentionally choosing compassionate thoughts and actions.
In CCT, the training process includes:
- Daily meditation practices to develop loving kindness, empathy, and compassion.
- A two-hour weekly class that includes teaching, discussion, and in-class exercises.
- Practical applications to explore and develop compassionate thoughts and actions in real life.
Why Cultivate Compassion?
Cultivating compassion goes beyond feeling more empathy and concern for others. It develops the strength to be with suffering, the courage to take compassionate action, and the resilience to prevent compassion fatigue. These qualities support a wide range of goals, from improving personal relationships to making a positive difference in the world. Compassion cultivation can also support one's own health, happiness, and well-being. Preliminary research suggests that CCT and similar programs can increase self-compassion and self-care, reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and enhance connection with others.
Who Can Benefit from Compassion Cultivation Training?

Training with cut suits may provide better preparation, Marine Corps Times reports.
Military medical trainers' use of simulated bodies, known as cut suits, can help personnel learn combat surgery without operating on live animals, Marine Corps Times has reported.
The military uses more than 6,000 animals every year for its "wound labs," which train medics in dealing with traumatic injuries, according to Defense News. Congress in 1983 restricted the use of dogs and cats in these types of exercises, but the use of other animals such as goats, monkeys and pigs is still permitted.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals told the Times that training simulations with live animals are not properly supervised, and the animals are not often fully anesthetized. Justin Goodman, an associate director at PETA told the Times that the status quo was going against progress in animal rights.
"The military is out of step with trends around the world and with trends in military training," Goodman said.
A recent study from researchers at the Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine reported that medical students who use cut suits were better prepared for surgeries than other students, the Times said.
One company, Strategic Operations Inc., has developed a cut-suit model that simulates human organs, arteries and blood vessels, providing a realistic experience for trainees. These suits usually are deployed to help train medics for what the company calls "hyper-realistic" situations.
In June, the U.S. Coast Guard came under criticism for a video that showed trainees practicing operations on live goats. Activists claimed that the Coast Guard's policies violated Agriculture Department protocols for research animals and urged the branch to follow up on these violations.

Pinot Noir is a black wine grape variety and may also refer to wines created predominantly from Pinot noir grapes. Pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, mostly in the cooler regions, but the grape is chiefly associated with the Burgundy region of France. From the New World regions, USA and New Zealand are major producers of good quality Pinot Noir wines. Burgundy Pinot Noir is famous for its savoury fleshiness and 'farmyard' aromas. But changing fashions, modern winemaking techniques, and new easier-to-grow clones have favoured a lighter, more fruit-prominent, cleaner style. California Pinot Noir and New Zealand Pinot Noir highlights a more powerful, fruit forward and darker wine. Pinot noir is also used in the production of Champagne. Some of the most famous Pinot Noir wines come from Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy.

Ada Programming/Packages
- 1 Separate compilation
- 2 Parts of a package
- 3 Using packages
- 4 Package organisation
- 5 Notes
- 6 See also
Ada encourages the division of code into separate modules called packages. Each package can contain any combination of items.
Some of the benefits of using packages are:
- package contents are placed in a separate namespace, preventing naming collisions,
- implementation details of the package can be hidden from the programmer (information hiding),
- object orientation requires defining a type and its primitive subprograms within a package, and
- packages can be separately compiled.
Some of the more common package usages are:
- a group of related subprograms along with their shared data, with the data not visible outside the package,
- one or more data types along with subprograms for manipulating those data types, and
- a generic package that can be instantiated under varying conditions.
The following is a quote from the current Ada Reference Manual Section 7: Packages. RM 7(1) (Annotated)
Packages are program units that allow the specification of groups of logically related entities. Typically, a package contains the declaration of a type (often a private type or private extension) along with the declaration of primitive subprograms of the type, which can be called from outside the package, while their inner workings remain hidden from outside users.
Separate compilation[edit]
It is very common for package declarations and package bodies to be coded into separate files and separately compiled. Doing so places the package at the library level where it will be accessible to all other code via the with statement—if a more restricted scope is desired, simply declare the package (and package body, if needed) within the appropriate scope. The package body can itself be divided into multiple files by specifying that one or more subprogram implementations are separate.
One of the biggest advantages of Ada over most other programming languages is its well defined system of modularization and separate compilation. Even though Ada allows separate compilation, it maintains the strong type checking among the various compilations by enforcing rules of compilation order and compatibility checking. Ada uses separate compilation (like Modula-2, Java and C#), and not independent compilation (as C/C++ does), in which the various parts are compiled with no knowledge of the other compilation units with which they will be combined.
A note to C/C++ users: Yes, you can use the preprocessor to emulate separate compilation — but it is only an emulation and the smallest mistake leads to very hard to find bugs. It is telling that all C/C++ successor languages including D have turned away from the independent compilation and the use of the preprocessor.
So it's good to know that Ada has had separate compilation ever since Ada-83 and is probably the most sophisticated implementation around.
Parts of a package[edit]
A package generally consists of two parts, the specification and the body. A package specification can be further divided in two logical parts, the visible part and the private part. Only the visible part of the specification is mandatory. The private part of the specification is optional, and a package specification might not have a package body—the package body only exists to complete any incomplete items in the specification. Subprogram declarations are the most common incomplete items. There must not be a package body if there is no incomplete declaration, and there has to be a package body if there is some incomplete declaration in the specification.
To understand the value of the three-way division, consider the case of a package that has already been released and is in use. A change to the visible part of the specification will require that the programmers of all using software verify that the change does not affect the using code. A change to the private part of the declaration will require that all using code be recompiled but no review is normally needed. Some changes to the private part can change the meaning of the client code however. An example is changing a private record type into a private access type. This change can be done with changes in the private part, but change the semantic meaning of assignment in the clients code. A change to the package body will only require that the file containing the package body be recompiled, because nothing outside of the package body can ever access anything within the package body (beyond the declarations in the specification part).
A common usage of the three parts is to declare the existence of a type and some subprograms that operate on that type in the visible part, define the actual structure of the type (e.g. as a record) in the private part, and provide the code to implement the subprograms in the package body.
The package specification — the visible part[edit]
The visible part of a package specification describes all the subprogram specifications, variables, types, constants etc. that are visible to anyone who wishes to use the package.
package Public_Only_Package is type Range_10 is range 1 .. 10; end Public_Only_Package;
Since Range_10 is an integer type, there are a lot of operations declared implicitly in this package.
The private part[edit]
The private part of a package serves two purposes:
- To complete the deferred definition of private types and constants.
- To export entities only visible to the children of the package.
package Package_With_Private is type Private_Type is private; private type Private_Type is array (1 .. 10) of Integer; end Package_With_Private;
Since the type is private, clients cannot make any use of it as long as there are no operations defined in the visible part.
The package body[edit]
The package body defines the implementation of the package. All the subprograms defined in the specification have to be implemented in the body. New subprograms, types and objects can be defined in the body that are not visible to the users of the package.
package Package_With_Body is type Basic_Record is private; procedure Set_A (This : in out Basic_Record; An_A : in Integer); function Get_A (This : Basic_Record) return Integer; private type Basic_Record is record A : Integer; end record ; pragma Pure_Function (Get_A); -- not a standard Ada pragma pragma Inline (Get_A); pragma Inline (Set_A); end Package_With_Body;
package body Package_With_Body is procedure Set_A (This : in out Basic_Record; An_A : in Integer) is begin This.A := An_A; end Set_A; function Get_A (This : Basic_Record) return Integer is begin return This.A; end Get_A; end Package_With_Body;
- pragma Pure_Function
- Only available when using GNAT.
Two Flavors of Package[edit]
The packages above each define a type together with operations of the type. When the type's composition is placed in the private part of a package, the package then exports what is known to be an Abstract Data Type or ADT for short. Objects of the type are then constructed by calling one of the subprograms associated with the respective type.
A different kind of package is the Abstract State Machine or ASM. A package will be modeling a single item of the problem domain, such as the motor of a car. If a program controls one car, there is typically just one motor, or the motor. The public part of the package specification only declares the operations of the module (of the motor, say), but no type. All data of the module are hidden in the body of the package where they act as state variables to be queried, or manipulated by the subprograms of the package. The initialization part sets the state variables to their initial values.
package Package_With_Body is procedure Set_A (An_A : in Integer); function Get_A return Integer; private pragma Pure_Function (Get_A);—not a standard Ada pragma end Package_With_Body;
package body Package_With_Body is The_A: Integer; procedure Set_A (An_A : in Integer) is begin The_A := An_A; end Set_A; function Get_A return Integer is begin return The_A; end Get_A; begin The_A := 0; end Package_With_Body;
(A note on construction: The package initialization part after begin corresponds to a construction subprogram of an ADT package. However, as a state machine is an "object" already, "construction" is happening during package initialization. (Here it sets the state variable The_A to its initial value.) An ASM package can be viewed as a singleton.)
Using packages[edit]
| This section is a stub.
You can help Wikibooks by expanding it.
To utilize a package it's needed to name it in a with clause, whereas to have direct visibility of that package it's needed to name it in a use clause.
For C++ programmers, Ada's with clause is analogous to the C++ preprocessor's #include and Ada's use is similar to the using namespace statement in C++. In particular, use leads to the same namespace pollution problems as using namespace and thus should be used sparingly. Renaming can shorten long compound names to a manageable length, while the use type clause makes a type's operators visible. These features reduce the need for plain use.
Standard with[edit]
The standard with clause provides visibility for the public part of a unit to the following defined unit. The imported package can be used in any part of the defined unit, including the body when the clause is used in the specification.
Private with[edit]
This language feature is only available from Ada 2005 on.
private with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; package Private_With is -- The package Ada.String.Unbounded is not visible at this point type Basic_Record is private; procedure Set_A (This : in out Basic_Record; An_A : in String); function Get_A (This : Basic_Record) return String; private -- The visibility of package Ada.String.Unbounded starts here package Unbounded renames Ada.Strings.Unbounded; type Basic_Record is record A : Unbounded.Unbounded_String; end record; pragma Pure_Function (Get_A); pragma Inline (Get_A); pragma Inline (Set_A); end Private_With;
package body Private_With is -- The private withed package is visible in the body too procedure Set_A (This : in out Basic_Record; An_A : in String) is begin This.A := Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String (An_A); end Set_A; function Get_A (This : Basic_Record) return String is begin return Unbounded.To_String (This.A); end Get_A; end Private_With;
Limited with[edit]
This language feature is only available from Ada 2005 on.
limited with Departments; package Employees is type Employee is tagged private; procedure Assign_Employee (E : in out Employee; D : access Departments.Department'Class); type Dept_Ptr is access all Departments.Department'Class; function Current_Department(E : in Employee) return Dept_Ptr; ... end Employees;
limited with Employees; package Departments is type Department is tagged private; procedure Choose_Manager (Dept : in out Department; Manager : access Employees.Employee'Class); ... end Departments;
Making operators visible[edit]
Suppose you have a package Universe that defines some numeric type T.
with Universe; procedure P is V: Universe.T := 10.0; begin V := V * 42.0; -- illegal end P;
This program fragment is illegal since the operators implicitly defined in Universe are not directly visible.
You have four choices to make the program legal.
Use a use_package_clause. This makes all declarations in Universe directly visible (provided they are not hidden because of other homographs).
with Universe; use Universe; procedure P is V: Universe.T := 10.0; begin V := V * 42.0; end P;
Use renaming. This is error prone since if you rename many operators, cut and paste errors are probable.
with Universe; procedure P is function "*" (Left, Right: Universe.T) return Universe.T renames Universe."*"; function "/" (Left, Right: Universe.T) return Universe.T renames Universe."*"; -- oops V: Universe.T := 10.0; begin V := V * 42.0; end P;
Use qualification. This is extremely ugly and unreadable.
with Universe; procedure P is V: Universe.T := 10.0; begin V := Universe."*" (V, 42.0); end P;
Use the use_type_clause. This makes only the operators in Universe directly visible.
with Universe; procedure P is V: Universe.T := 10.0; use type Universe.T; begin V := V * 42.0; end P;
There is a special beauty in the use_type_clause. Suppose you have a set of packages like so:
with Universe; package Pack is subtype T is Universe.T; end Pack;
with Pack; procedure P is V: Pack.T := 10.0; begin V := V * 42.0; -- illegal end P;
Now you've got into trouble. Since Universe is not made visible, you cannot use a use_package_clause for Universe to make the operator directly visible, nor can you use qualification for the same reason. Also a use_package_clause for Pack does not help, since the operator is not defined in Pack. The effect of the above construct means that the operator is not nameable, i.e. it cannot be renamed in a renaming statement.
Of course you can add Universe to the context clause, but this may be impossible due to some other reasons (e.g. coding standards); also adding the operators to Pack may be forbidden or not feasible. So what to do?
The solution is simple. Use the use_type_clause for Pack.T and all is well!
with Pack; procedure P is V: Pack.T := 10.0; use type Pack.T; begin V := V * 42.0; end P;
Package organisation[edit]

You can help Wikibooks by expanding it.
Nested packages[edit]
A nested package is a package declared inside a package.
Like a normal package, it has a public part and a private part.
From outside, items declared in a nested package N
will have visibility as usual; the
programmer may refer to these items using a full dotted name like
P.N.X. (But not
package P is D: Integer; -- a nested package: package N is X: Integer; private Foo: Integer; end N; E: Integer; private -- another nested package: package M is Y: Integer; private Bar: Integer; end M; end P;
Inside a package, declarations become visible as they are introduced, in textual order.
That is, a nested package N that is declared after some other declaration D can refer to this declaration D.
A declaration E following N can refer to items of N.[1]
But neither can "look ahead" and refer to any declaration that
goes after them.
For example, spec
N above cannot refer to
M in any way.
In the following example, a type is derived in both of the two nested packages Disks and Books. Notice that the full declaration of parent type Item appears before the two nested packages.
with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded; package Shelf is pragma Elaborate_Body; -- things to put on the shelf type ID is range 1_000 .. 9_999; type Item (Identifier : ID) is abstract tagged limited null record; type Item_Ref is access constant Item'class; function Next_ID return ID; -- a fresh ID for an Item to Put on the shelf package Disks is type Music is ( Jazz, Rock, Raga, Classic, Pop, Soul); type Disk (Style : Music; Identifier : ID) is new Item (Identifier) with record Artist : Unbounded_String; Title : Unbounded_String; end record; end Disks; package Books is type Literature is ( Play, Novel, Poem, Story, Text, Art); type Book (Kind : Literature; Identifier : ID) is new Item (Identifier) with record Authors : Unbounded_String; Title : Unbounded_String; Year : Integer; end record; end Books; -- shelf manipulation procedure Put (it: Item_Ref); function Get (identifier : ID) return Item_Ref; function Search (title : String) return ID; private -- keeping private things private package Boxes is type Treasure(Identifier: ID) is limited private; private type Treasure(Identifier: ID) is new Item(Identifier) with null record; end Boxes; end Shelf;
A package may also be nested inside a subprogram. In fact, packages can be declared in any declarative part, including those of a block.
Child packages[edit]
Ada allows one to extend the functionality of a unit (package) with so-called children (child packages). With certain exceptions, all the functionality of the parent is available to a child. This means that all public and private declarations of the parent package are visible to all child packages.
The above example, reworked as a hierarchy of packages, looks like this. Notice that the package Ada.Strings.Unbounded is not needed by the top level package Shelf, hence its with clause doesn't appear here. (We have added a match function for searching a shelf, though):
package Shelf is pragma Elaborate_Body; type ID is range 1_000 .. 9_999; type Item (Identifier : ID) is abstract tagged limited null record; type Item_Ref is access constant Item'Class; function Next_ID return ID; -- a fresh ID for an Item to Put on the shelf function match (it : Item; Text : String) return Boolean is abstract; -- see whether It has bibliographic information matching Text -- shelf manipulation procedure Put (it: Item_Ref); function Get (identifier : ID) return Item_Ref; function Search (title : String) return ID; end Shelf;
The name of a child package consists of the parent unit's name followed by the child package's identifier, separated by a period (dot) `.'.
with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded; package Shelf.Books is type Literature is ( Play, Novel, Poem, Story, Text, Art); type Book (Kind : Literature; Identifier : ID) is new Item (Identifier) with record Authors : Unbounded_String; Title : Unbounded_String; Year : Integer; end record; function match(it: Book; text: String) return Boolean; end Shelf.Books;
Book has two components of type Unbounded_String, so Ada.Strings.Unbounded appears in a with clause of the child package. This is unlike the nested packages case which requires that all units needed by any one of the nested packages be listed in the context clause of the enclosing package (see 10.1.2 Context Clauses - With Clauses (Annotated)). Child packages thus give better control over package dependences. With clauses are more local.
The new child package Shelf.Disks looks similar. The Boxes package which was a nested package in the private part of the original Shelf package is moved to a private child package:
private package Shelf.Boxes is type Treasure(Identifier: ID) is limited private; private type Treasure(Identifier: ID) is new Item(Identifier) with null record; function match(it: Treasure; text: String) return Boolean; end Shelf.Boxes;
The privacy of the package means that it can only be used by equally private client units. These clients include private siblings and also the bodies of siblings (as bodies are never public).
Child packages may be listed in context clauses just like normal packages. A with of a child also 'withs' the parent.
A subunit is just a feature to move a body into a place of its own when otherwise the enclosing body will become too large. It can also be used for limiting the scope of context clauses.
The subunits allow to physically divide a package into different compilation units without breaking the logical unity of the package. Usually each separated subunit goes to a different file allowing separate compilation of each subunit and independent version control history for each one.
package body Pack is procedure Proc is separate; end Pack; with Some_Unit; separate (Pack) procedure Proc is begin ... end Proc;

E: Integer := D + N.X;

HOUSTON - There's a new wave of dating websites drawing controversy and customers.
On these Internet sites, men pay for dates or arrangements and the women who sign up have no problem with that.
These lucrative love connections are happening all over the country, including in Houston.
WhatsYourPrice.com and SeekingArrangement.com are websites that let men put their money where their mouse is, all while women get paid for companionship.
Brandon Wade is the mastermind behind these websites.
"Some go as far as calling me an e-pimp, but I think I'm an e-cupid. Really, I created them because I was just having such a difficult time dating on other dating sites," said Wade.
He said the concept it is simple: Men want to meet pretty women and some women will choose money over looks.
"It is an arrangement," Wade said.
On What's Your Price, a man offers a "price" for a date and the woman can accept, decline or counter the offer.
Seeking Arrangements is the same idea but covers longer periods of time with monthly payments.
"At the end of the day, it is really about a party that is generous and another party that wants to be spoiled and pampered," Wade said.
Wade said Seeking Arrangements has 1.6 million members from around the world and more than 23,000 members from the Houston area.
Wade and many of the women on the websites insist the arrangements are not prostitution.
"I am attractive, so why not use that to my advantage?" said Hannah, a college student on the Seeking Arrangements website.
Hannah is what is called a "sugar baby," and so is Debra, who said by the second date her "sugar daddies" gave her money.
"They took me to dinner and they would just give me $400," said Debra.
Crissy, a college student, said her arrangements help pay her bills.
"The first time it will be dinner and drinks, very casual. Then you get into the whole, 'OK, well you are my companion type of thing now, so I can cover your book expenses or car note or rent,'" Crissy said.
All of them said the arrangements don't involve sex.
But a Houston member who calls herself Ginger said not only do some of her "dates" involve sex, but sometimes that is all it involves.
"Anything goes! There can be some limitations. It depends on the person. I have to feel comfortable for it to go any further, and I like it to be discussed before hand to know what they expect," she said.
Ginger said she uses both websites to meet men who pay for her time -- and more.
"I've met one that is the manager of a very nice hotel and I see him quite often still. It started off with sushi and then after that we just have a quick rendezvous once a week and I am gone," Ginger said.
While Wade said women using the website to earn money for sex are just misusing the system, his recent media blitz focused on members seeking 50 Shades of Grey-style relationships. Members are using names and phrases from the popular book to attract a companion.
"We are actually a direct beneficiary of the book because people who read it realize, 'Well, I want to find my own Christian Grey,'" Wade said.
Wade boasted 8,000 of the Houston profiles include references to the book.
"It is a completely different ballgame out there. Relationships form, people fall in love," Wade said.
Despite Wade's claims that members are just looking for love on the site, he has admitted that 40 percent of the men on Seeking Arrangements are already married.

I didn't realise that I had met BC actually. My husband had to remind me.
It happened like this. Alhough we didn't have Foxtel, I cottoned onto the whole Love My Way series via the DVD store. I would borrow a whole series and devour it. That was one hellova story.I was in. At one stage, during one of my marathon viewing sessions, The Geege said to me "I'm glad he made it. He was always such a funny guy".
He was referring to BC, who played Tom, the complete F!ck Up of the series (although, truthfully they were all pretty messy). I of course retorted with some comment about "how would you know?" at which point, The Geege informed me that BC used to visit our house in Summer Hill (back in the 1990s). Apparently he went to uni with one of our old flatmates and was a regular couch dweller at our place. Who knew?
I wracked my brain. Nope. No recollection. None.
Do I remember seeing him at any of our parties? No. I cannot remember meeting him at all actually.
How can you just forget someone? Especially someone who would go on to be a famous dude? Especially someone who you find so interesting to listen to when he is interviewed on the radio now? It seems strange.
I can remember all the other couch dwellers from that time. The couples, the artists, the musos. But no BC.
I still keep in touch with my old flatmate. The one who is friends with BC. They are probably mates on FaceBook and I could probably stretch back into BC's life if I were so inclined.
I'm not.
I love that I have this funny non-connection with BC. It makes me like him even more. But the truth is, I was already a fan before I knew that we were almost friends. He is a fine actor and a wonderful screen writer. Best of luck with the new flick BC. I will be out to watch it when I can.

[NOTE: I have a major announcement to come… please join my mailing list to stay in touch]
As I write this, I'm blocked on Facebook, and have been since last Thursday. My personal account, and three pages I run (including MoronWatch) are all blocked to me; so is Facebook messenger. For my thoughtcrime (explained below), I am not allowed to even have private conversations with my friends. If I try to Like a family photo, I'm told my action 'might be abusive'. Welcome to 1984.
MoronWatch began on Twitter, a platform I have always enjoyed for its free-ranging discussions and 'promiscuous' social networking: unlike the rigidity of Facebook, Twitter is a far more interesting and diverse platform, which quickly puts like-minded strangers into contact with each other. Although I began by following people I knew, I quickly found that – unsurprisingly – people I didn't know were often more interesting.
Most people self-censor heavily on Facebook. We remember that people we know in real life – our boss or our mum, for example – can see our updates, so we dumb ourselves down. On Twitter, we craft new social networks that suit us; on Facebook, our offline social networks come online.
Free speech is liberating and cleansing, but it frightens and infuriates control freaks; for this reason, it is Twitter, and not Facebook, that has faced the greatest calls for censorship. There is a rising War on Twitter, as I outlined in a blog post two years ago. In response to this (and more importantly to Twitter's poor financial performance), Twitter is reining in free speech, belatedly trying to become as bland – and corporate-friendly – as Facebook.
To paraphrase a great tweet I saw long ago: 'Twitter makes me love strangers; Facebook makes me hate people I already know'. However, Facebook is by far the more successful platform, and not to use it would be foolish. After ignoring it for a while. MoronWatch started a page there, and that has been growing ever since.
On Thursday, I posted a flyer on my page, which advertised a White Pride rally, planned for Swansea in March. The flyer had originally been shared for discussion by a black friend, and I thought it would be perfect MoronWatch material. Indeed, it generated a long discussion thread, and was shared further. The flyer was pretty vile: although it purported to be promoting a day in which white culture could be celebrated, in practise it attacked immigrants and in particular took aim at 'Jews and sh*tskins' (a word I haven't heard for a while).
I should point out here, for those that aren't too familiar with this blog, that I'm a Jew, and my lovely partner, and mother of my children, is a sh*tsk… sorry, I mean black person. I'm also an anti-fascist activist, and have been since my teens a few decades ago.
One problem with censorship is that it is necessary dumb. Once the ludicrous concept of 'hate speech' had been ruled unacceptable, censors can't tell the difference between genuinely hateful speech, parody, and discussion of hateful speech. Another problem with censorship is that it simply doesn't work. Silencing discussion of a problem doesn't end that problem, it just pushes it into corners where nice, middle-class people can ignore it (or at least, ignore it until it's too late to do anything about it).
But the biggest problem with censorship is that it comes from a fascistic attitude that societal problems are best dealt with by empowering the state and corporations to silence things we don't like. Instead of engaging in discussion about racism and other forms of bigotry, we beg the state and corporations to make it all go away, and in doing so, we surrender our ability to deal with problems in our communities. In the 1980s, racism was dealt with by bridging the divides between angry communities. Now instead, we build a virtual wall between the communities, and pretend everything is fine.
Facebook is just one platform, but it is a huge and powerful platform. Increasingly, its methods are leaking into public discourse. Last year, MPs recommended that 'trolls' should be banned from using the Internet. Presumably, this would include people like me, who try to counter far-right extremism online. We are stepping over the threshold from democracy into dictatorship, and doing so under the guise of 'defending liberal values'. But the most fundamental of liberal values is free speech. No-ifs, no-buts, warts-n-all.
How can we deal with fascism if we can't talk about it?
Facebook provides no due process. My right to free expression has been curtailed for five days, and there is apparently no right to appeal or any form of fair trial. My only recourse was to complain, which I did – below is the message I sent to Big Brother – sorry, I mean Facebook's support team.
I am a Jewish anti-racism campaigner with a black partner and mixed-race children. I shared a white supremacist flyer on my page (which promoted a planned march in Swansea) in order to alert people to the nature of this group, allow discussion, and help plan a fightback. For this, I was blocked for propagating 'hate speech'.
Your action demonstrates the sheer fuck-witted stupidity of all censorship regimes, including your own. Your moderators cannot possibly understand the context and nuance of every post, and clearly can't tell the difference between 'racism' and 'discussion of racism'. In suppressing discussion of such vital issues at a time when fascism is rising in Europe, YOU are contributing to the rise of fascism. YOU feed into conspiracy theories on the far-right that aids its recruitment and YOU make life for minorities (like my family) more difficult and potentially more dangerous.
Clap for yourselves
PS: I reluctantly self-censored the word sh*tskins in this post. I don't believe in such censorship. It does nothing to counter racism; it merely exists to protect the easily-offended – who appear mostly, in my experience, to be uptight white middle-class people.

There's a wicked inclination, in The Evil Streaks' music, to not hold anything back. If the lyrics can be more sinister, they will be. If the bass line can be more bouncy, it will be. Concerns about going overboard? Those are for lesser bands. Make no mistake: The Evil Streaks is a punk-garage rock band that leaves it all on the floor, both live and most certainly on their new album, "Talk to the Dead."
Everything that makes this band irresistible is on the album, the follow-up to last year's EP, "Go Go to Hell" — the fuzzed out surf guitar, the gleefully homicidal lyrics laced with sugar-rush perkiness, the surprise hooks and fills that stay with you long after the song's finished. Take, for example, the drums and bass on "Strike A Chord" — provided, respectively, by Too Fast Jim and The Rev. They do more than keep time and provide a foundation, they bound in and out of the song, adding texture and counterpoint, erupting in hooks that are both arresting and surprising.
It's this sense of excitement that makes the album such a joy to listen to. From the opening track — the surf guitar instrumental "Marble Orchard" — everything moves at a breakneck pace, particularly John Kozick's guitar, which speeds out in a thrilling, Dick-Dale-on-overdrive fashion, before the whole thing's brought back to Earth in a shower of drums.
Leading off the album with an instrumental is a smart choice, because it gives the band a chance to shine before vocalist Myra Graverobber takes center stage. Beginning on the second track, the Ouija board ghost story "What Does Franny Know?," Graverobber is a force that dominates the album, her voice forceful and dextrous, her phrasing sharp and whimsical. The conceit, of course, is that she's playing the part of a deadly woman scorned, the deadly repercussions of which are shared on many of the album's songs, including "The Devil's Mark," "Last Kiss" and the fan-favorite "All Good Things," which is the only song to repeat from the EP.
It's all what a fan of the band would want, but there are surprises. The '50s vibe on Graverobber's vocals in "Last Kiss" is startling, and endearing, especially juxtaposed as it is against the down-and-dirt garage instrumentation backing it. Also, the manic (even by Evil Streaks standards) "Chick Habit" is a burst of bubblegum that, while no less macabre than the band's other offerings, breaks up the album's feel before returning to the more straightforward rocker, "Dirty Little Secret."
Ultimately, "Talk to the Dead" takes the listener on a breakneck journey that's a little bit "Addams Family," a big helping of The Cramps, a touch of "Beach Blanket Bingo" and a more than healthy serving of Disney's Haunted Mansion. But whatever this band is on any given song, it's always, unapologetically fun.
The Evil Streaks perform with Demons Alley, The Cretins and Meat Depressed at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 30 at Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner, 148 Grove St., Worcester.

Junichiro Tanizaki
Junichiro Tanizaki (jŏŏnē´chērō tänē´zäkē), 1886–1965, Japanese writer. A prolific writer whose popularity extended through the reigns of three emperors, Tanizaki is perhaps best known for Sasameyuki (1943–48, tr. The Makioka Sisters, 1957). A detailed account of an Osaka family that embraces a tradition-bound way of life, it was the first major Japanese work of the post–World War II period. Tanizaki's other novels include a modern version of The Tale of Genji; Some Prefer Nettles (1928, tr. 1955); Quicksand (1928–30, tr. 1994); The Key (1956, tr. 1961), and Diary of a Mad Old Man (1961, tr. 1965). A witness to the Tokyo earthquake of 1923, which destroyed half the city, he moved to the Kansai region (the greater Kyoto-Osaka area), where a more traditional lifestyle still prevailed. The new environment influenced his outlook, and many of his works carry an implied condemnation of excessive interest in Western things. Tanizaki often writes of women, taking as his themes obsessive love, the destructive forces of sexuality, and the dual nature of woman as goddess and demon. His other work includes the selected short stories of Seven Japanese Tales (tr. 1963) and The Gourmet Club (tr. 2001) and the novellas The Reed Cutter (1932, tr. 1994) and Captain Shigemoto's Mother (1949–50, tr. 1994).

States Park Equestrian Centre
we operate a large equestrian centre in australia and have approx 50 showjumping, dressage, eventing horses.
we want a modern logo to use on our vehicals and on some horse floats that we manufacture. These vehicals and floats are painted white.We used to have one depicting a horse and rider jumping that was ok but now need a smarter more modern proffessional look, even if a jumping is still used. The logo must show the name and webb address that is http://www.statespark.com.au and whatever picture/drawing is suitable.
we need something to catch the eye of the serious horse person and the general public that are not horsey - so that everyone can see at a glance that this sinage represents a reputable, professionally run Equestrian Centre. The serious horse person would think - i would like to go there and be associated with other proffessional horse people. And the general public would think - i wonder if my horsey friend knows about States Park, i must tell them when i see them next.
Something easily recognisable even from a distance, remember that this will be on horse floats and vehicals that will usually be moving!
Clear, smart looking.Must have the words States Park Equestrian Centre and the webb address http://www.statespark.com.au listed perhaps with an appropriate scetch/drawing/photo.
