Life as a Durhamite: Being CreativeLeave a comment
May 19, 2014 by Natasha
Hello Friends!
Hope you are enjoying the weather it was really nice out the past few days. It was amazing opening the windows and letting the Earth's breath come into my space. Refreshing…
This week wasn't much that much more eventful than last week, however, I am making small steps towards turning this place into a home!
So, when you return from your late night grocery run, pull up a chair , heat up some Annie Chun's noodles and welcome to my life as a Durhamite.
– – – – – – – The Taste of Nature – – – – – – –
This week I tasted my first home-grown strawberry!
It was a wonderful experience harvesting and utilizing something my plants made. Working on that green thumb!!
The fruit wasn't completely sweet but my baby plant has potential!! I cannot wait until I can begin to harvest tomatoes and jalapeños.
Aren't they beautifully red?
– – – – – – – Let the Rain Come – – – – – – –
This week, there was a torrential downpour of rain! It was crazy! We had a tornado warning on Thursday night. It was at the same time as our recruitment party for work so I truly had no idea. It was a good thing we moved the party indoors and not in the park or else we could have blown away!
– – – – – – – The Wonderful Aroma… – – – – – – –
… of an oven baked potato. I truly feel that there is nothing like it! I prepared dinner and lunch in the oven. First, I washed to potatoes and wrapped them tightly in silver foil. Then I placed them in the hot oven and let it bake for an hour and a half.
The warm smell flooded my apartment and I was elated! Truly baked potatoes are such a time consuming gift, but they are delicious!

This week at work I decided to change my background from the standard Windows Professional background to my flower diptych! I smile every time I see those beautiful pink and orange flowers reaching out towards me. It help me feel that nature is not too far away when I am locked my windowless office Haha.

Congratulations! You are viewing the first photograph of the interior of apartment in Durham! You should feel so very special. Kidding. You are already special.
I am creating balance in my apartment! Here we have the beautiful curtains made by my mother, my two Étagère lamps and a side table.
This week, on Friday I purchased 2 coffee tables from Dukelist. They were only $25 and their black metal and glass match my lamps perfectly!
Here is the photo I saw from the listing. I contacted the seller on the same day she posted it. I guess it was meant to be!
After I brought the tables in, being the germa-phhobe that I am, I cleaned them from top to bottom inside and out. It is amazing having more items in my apartment. 🙂
– – – – – – – "Did I Do Thaaattt???" – – – – – – –
On Saturday morning I heard a loud crash from outside of my apartment window. It sounded like someone carrying sheets of metal dropped them all at once. In an instant I ran to the window to investigate where the sound came from.
Once at the window I witnessed a man in a Budget truck slowly backing into one of the parking spot near the metal carport, his truck beeped as he moved in reverse. Then in the next moment he was putting the petal to the metal and zoomed out of the apartment complex! carport!
I thought I was witness to a hit-and-run but he returned with another gentleman in the Budget truck and they pointed to the damage. Look at the carport! Hopefully they fix it on a day when my car is not near the area. I know it was an accident…
It is pretty crazy how easily the carport was damaged. At least it protects my car from the rain and the hail! That is why I am paying $25/month for this protection. Sadly, none of that will matter if people are trying to tear them down!
– – – – – – – Let's be Creative – – – – – – –
When my mom was still here, we visited the Scrap Exchange and I purchased some pieces of glass and mirror. We also visited a thrift store and I purchased 2 L-shaped shadow boxes. These frames were perfect and I was determined to showcase my marine collections from my research trips to Florida and Puerto Rico in them. However, given that there were no backing boards to the frames, I hung them up empty until inspiration struck me.
After our weekly lunch, Jean and I hung out at my apartment and watched MTV's Catfish: The TV Show. While she was here, I pulled out my purchases from the Scrap Exchange and showed her my intentions with the items. It was then when I decided that on Sunday, I would make my shadow boxes.
What do you think about them? It took me approximately 8 hours to make because I was working with a serrated knife, a hammer, and a hot glue gun as my only tools! There is now a battle wound on my left thumb, but I think it's worth it. You like?
– – – – – – – Lovely Dinner – – – – – – –
My week was capped with a home made dinner late after I finished crafting… and I mean it was late. I probably finished cooking around 10:30 or so? Hahah!
I made an orange balsamic veggie chicken with garlic and basil potatoes and flat Italian green beans. It was absolutely delicious and well worth the struggles of the week.
There is no telling what there is in store for me this week, but I know I will try to make the most of it!
Thanks for sticking with me, buddy!
We are all so very beautiful and we must remember that! Sometimes the world can be ugly, but remember how lovely you are!
See, I told you I would take more pictures. 🙂

Things change when he is sent to Kyoto to investigate the re-awakening of the Ikko sect and their leader, Araki, who deserted the clan hundreds of years ago.

Mentors, or Just Nurturers? How Women Are Hurting Themselves and Not Realizing ItOctober 09, 2014
Mentors, or Just Nurturers?
I once observed a situation in which an individual (well call him Bob) asked two of his colleagues for advice on how to solve a problem in a project he was working on. One was male (George), and one was female (Liz). Bob went to Liz for advice first, and she suggested a solution to Bob. About four days later, Bob presented the same problem to George, who suggested the same solution that Liz had proposed four days earlier.
Shortly thereafter, Bob was asked by his superiors how he was going to solve the problem. When he presented the solution that both Liz and George had suggested to him, he immediately credited George and only George.
Why did this happen? And why didnt Liz take credit for the advice that she had, after all, been the first to offer Bob four days before George even entered the picture?
There are two issues at play here:
- Women tend to be perceived as nurturers and givers instead of leaders and askers by others including other women.
- Women themselves tend against talking about their own accomplishments and goals despite their desire to be recognized for them.
Bob perceived Lizs advice as something that was natural for her to give, for which he didnt owe her any recognition, because she never asked for it. Worse yet, he may have unconsciously disregarded her solution in the four days before he approached George with the same problem, and not even realized that Liz and George had both presented him the same solution.
But why give Georges presentation of the solution so much more weight?
When you look at any given organization, you will most likely find that there are more men than women in the role of mentor. This is odd, considering that women are perceived as givers and nurturers, when mentoring is all about giving and nurturing.
But consider this too: Ive also observed that when a either a man or a women has the opportunity to choose a mentor, they will more often than not choose a man within the organization.
Is this because they only perceives the male candidates as being influential and leaders in the organization? Is it because the importance of networking and finding a mentor is taught more often to men than to women, and at a much earlier age?
Or, is it because they havent heard about the successes of other women in their organization, and therefore there is a perception that the pool of female mentors is very, very small?
Its probably a combination of all three, but we can no longer afford to overlook the fact that women are hurting not just themselves, but also other women, by not talking about themselves.
Women Must Be Mentored, Too
But all this doesnt even begin to touch on another fact: that women often feel uncomfortable searching out their own mentor, male or female, because theyre fighting against their personas as nurturers and givers, along with their unwillingness to talk up their own accomplishments and goals.
When talking with individuals who have a list of impressive and significant accomplishments many people but particularly women are many times very reluctant to talk about them, even admit them and certainly not willing to put them down on paper. Women are taught at an early age not to brag, as it makes us appear brash, arrogant, and egotistical: three qualities that are perceived as extremely unattractive in women.
But ultimately, where do we draw the line between bragging and representing ourselves? While the line might currently be blurred and unclear, we must let those around us know who we are, what we stand for, what we have accomplished, and what we want to accomplish going forward.
If we are to not only make it more acceptable for women to be a bit more selfish in making sure that they receive the recognition they deserve, but also ensure that women are considered on equal footing with their male colleagues by men and women alike, its important that women also feel that theyre able to ask for mentoring and advice for themselves.
And much of this comes from within. Consider how you currently represent yourself, your abilities, your accomplishments, and your goals to the people around you in your everyday life. Below, you can find a few quick tips to get you thinking.
Dont Be Afraid to Own Your Abilities, Accomplishments, and Goals
1. Know Exactly How What You Do Helps Others
Be able to express this in a very short, memorable, and impactful sentence, so that when people have a particular issue that youre able to solve, they immediately think of you.
2. Make It Impossible for Anyone to Say No to You
If you have managed to do all the hard work and gained someones attention, make sure that you provide them with enough information that they feel they cannot leave the interaction without wanting more. This might take the form of another meeting, a request to follow up, or to see a portfolio.
3. Love What You Do and What It Does for Others
If you are not passionate about what it is you do, its negatively impacting everything in your life. Find something that connects with your values and delivers a difference. This is perfectly possible in a corporate environment.
4. Walk Your Talk
We should always be walking our talk. If you are in finance, be sure your personal money is in order. If you are in IT, don't have an overflowing inbox. If you are in marketing, make sure you have a portfolio that reflects your work.
5. Leverage Your Talents
What is your unique ability? How can you weave it more consistently in to your everyday actions? Become known for something that proves to be invaluable, and that will make you indispensable.
6. Help People Who Dont Know What They Need Right Now
Everyone is overwhelmed today - too much email, too many choices, too many requests on their time, not enough resources. Be sure that people know what you do and have seen you demonstrate it. When they do know what they want, the decision will already be made.
7. Be Emotional and Connect to People
If you only can explain your talents in very rational terms, your audience is much less likely to engage with your message. Dont be afraid to be emotive when describing challenges youve faced, and how it felt after you were able to help the situation by leveraging your talents. This will help people feel connected to you on a deeper level, so that theyre more likely to keep you in mind.
8. Dont Take What You Do For Granted
All too often when were using our unique talents, we take a lot of what we are able to do for granted. After all, it just comes so naturally that it is not a strain, isn't that the same for everyone? Answer: no. So make sure that those individuals who do utilize your talents are fully aware of all that you bring.
9. Have an Answer for the Doubting Thomases
On occasion people will suddenly find a reason to be negative, sarcastic or doubtful of what it is you claim. Be ready with an effective response.
10. Build Your Brand Everywhere You Go
Ensure that all you are doing, saying, and communicating is a reflection of how you want to be known, and that information is what you want others to know. By the time they actually reach you then you have got them at Hello!

When we checked in, the owner/manager asked if we have family in the area. We thought that was a strange question, because we do - but how did he know that? We quickly realized why he asked. This is not a campground that transients happen to be passing by, or that has a tourist attraction that draws travelers from far reaches. Most visitors to this campground are seasonal and probably locals. Some units are so permanent they have decks, sheds, permanent porches, etc., built up. Some are more rundown than others. There are also a few worker-campers living here. One of the most popular features is access to ATV trails and roads. On the weekends almost everybody was riding, and those who didn't have an ATV had a golf cart for running around the campground. Most of the campground has big beautiful shade trees. Out site was on the far edge of the property on an open piece of land next to a corn field. That part was fine, but it was one of the most unlevel sites we've ever tried to set up on. We even requested to move one site over (which they accommodated) and we used every block we have for the tires and jacks. The step was so high off the ground we had to get more blocks to create a first step. These sites were also not angled, which made it challenging to pull a MH in, but most other units were 5th wheels and trailers. As busy as the place was during our September stay, quiet hours were observed, restrooms were maintained, sites were left clean, we didn't have any problems (once we leveled). Lake Joy is small, but there's a nice beach area, water toys, paddleboats, boat ramp, etc. We stayed for a month and our rate was $633. We would return if visiting family in the area again. - Roaming Together

We stayed for the Fourth of July weekend in a travel trailer in a pull-through site with water and electric. There are no full hook ups unless seasonal sites. We paid way too much for a site that just has water and electric. There was some miscommunication I thought it was full hook up when I reserved it. The bathrooms and shower area are really dirty and very dated, with very thin, almost see-through, shower curtains. There was heavy usage because it was a busy weekend, but it doesn't excuse the fact that the water just trickles out for the showers. We tried to do some laundry because we had a bed wetting incident in our camper and all the washing machines were broken but there weren't any signs that said they were broken so we loaded our money in it and it wouldn't start we did get our money back but were unable to wash the items. The 2 beaches are very small and crammed. Staff seemed friendly but we didn't interact with them very much. Not very many activities scheduled, just a outdoor movie, hay ride, DJ dance. Seems like everyone has a golf cart and they're everywhere at all hours. We would not come back. Our automatic levelers did have a hard time leveling our camper in our site. We did have a very nice picnic table. - Mamaglamper

Very friendly campground but not really for big rigs. This is a beautiful campground but looks to be mostly for a summer family 'get away' for those with small RVs or a permanent summer spot. Roads are very narrow but two-way traffic exists with many unsupervised children in the roads. We stayed in a pull through site but it was impossible to pull through and had to back out. These sites are all very un-level. Also, very expensive for only water and electric. Our neighbor had roof damage from just trying to get back to the pull throughs (said entire roof would need replacement). We had no damage from this stay but also were more than very cautious on the roads and would just stop instead of trying to pass anyone on the internal roads. - puppylover

This was my first campground stay in my Class C Forest River Sunseeker. I had just purchased the unit in September. I was pretty nervous about backing in to my spot, but before I could even ask for help, they offered to have their guy guide me in and help me park! Very friendly, and I can't wait to go back. Took a nice walk around, and took in a nice sunset. - John Leicht

Just here for an overnight - fairly easy access off US-151, just a little road noise occasionally. Great hosts, well kept park. The sites are "shared", meaning the front of your RV faces the next one, with a small strip of grass between. Site was pretty level - didn't need leveler blocks at all. They have picnic tables at either end so it helps with separation a bit. Lots of things for kids to do, although we didn't have the grands with us on this trip. Overall a great little park - you can tell ownership/management care. - ChrisK153

Nice small park - great sites - full hook ups - clean - quiet and restful. Owners are really helpful, near the Mississippi, Dubuque and Platteville. Visited Potosi Brewing Company just a few miles away. Both pull thru and back in lots but no problem for our 38 ft 5th wheel. Off the beaten path but close to a major highway with easy access. We will stay again. - Steve n Lisa

We like staying at COE campgrounds and were glad to find this one right on the Mississippi River in Wisconsin. Checking online we found that there were plenty of sites available during the week, though it appeared that it was full on weekends. We stayed 3 nights. As others have mentioned, the trains pass right at the edge of the campground and they blow their horns for the crossing at the entry to the campground, but we did not find it disturbed our sleep, even though we were only a couple of sites away from the tracks. The campground manager was very friendly. She is only there in the evenings to collect fees, so we parked and then went over in the evening to pay for our stay. There are markers at each site indicating the next reservation on the site so we could select a site that was available for the days we wanted to stay. We were allowed to enter as early in the day as we wanted as long as the site we wanted was not occupied. We drove around the campground with our tow vehicle to select the site that we thought we could get into the easiest and had enough shade for our needs. The trees could use some trimming to be high enough to not cause roof damage to taller rigs. - pattic777

Didn't use the facilities so can't comment on those. Stayed for 3 days. The only negative as others have mentioned are the trains that roll through regularly. However, they really didn't bother us at all, which is amazing considering my wife is a really poor sleeper, but she didn't mind the trains. The river views are awesome! - Mike D1
Oct 2016 - $10.00
Although this campground is neat, nicely maintained, and right on the Mississppi River, the sites are very close together with no privacy whatsoever. When we were there on a weekend it was almost full and looked like a tightly packed parking lot for large RVs. Note that we have a small camper so we put a higher premium on space and privacy than we do on easy accessibility. Trains pass beside campground throughout the night and are LOUD! The hosts were friendly and the river is lovely but it was not a camping experience that we enjoyed. - Walker42

Mud Lake Park is located in a rural part of north Dubuque off highway 52 down a bluff along the Mississippi River. Only about a third of the camp sites are reservable online, the rest are on a first come, self-reservation basis. See their website for info on campsites & facilities - mycountyparks.com/county/Dubuque/Park/Mud-Lake-Park/Facilities.aspx The non-reservable sites have most of the shade. We reserved site #41, it had water & electric (note- 50 amp only; no 30 amp socket) graveled, fairly level, $24 These sites look like super-long pull-thrus, but two sites share half of each one. So the first one there can pull thru, later arrivers have to back-in. A year-round park ranger is in residence at this park. Modern shower/restroom facilities are located next to the ranger residence as is the dump station. There are picnic areas, a shelter and a boat ramp provides boating and fishing access. Firewood is available for purchase. There are a lot of trains all hours of the day (& night) that have to blow their horn as they cross the highway intersection. - OTR-again

Mud Lake Park is six miles north of Dubuque and four miles off highway 52. The park provides ample boating access, has large trees (but only a few by the RV sites), and has a full-time manager on site. Although their web site only lists 20 and 30 amp sites, the campground offers 30 and 50 amp services. The only drawback is that there are a lot of trains and horn blowing all hours of the day, but they aren't too intrusive, and the park is secluded enough to provide great night-time skies. Close to Dubuque yet out far enough to allow deer sightings. We stayed nine days, and would stay here again. - Roadsters

Mineral Point is an unknown gem of a town: a community of artists in a historically significant downtown, close to Taliesin, the House on the Rock, and various "Governor Dodge" attractions. If the fairgrounds are not in use, you can camp there for $20 a night! It's a big open field with light poles--most of which have 50 amp hookups and even water taps. After those light poles are used up, there's still plenty of space to park... and the price is right. Call the number if you want to confirm availability, and then deposit your $20 in the (unlabeled) drop box that is both hard to find and in plain site near the entrance to the fairgrounds. We had 50amp service and water while we were there. Level ground, no neighbors, and a great sunset. Couldn't ask for more. - Thiel

Nice location overlooking the Mississippi River. Busy on weekends but almost empty during the week. Electric only at the site, water and dump station are next to the office. Office/campground manager is a gem, very helpful changing our reservation when we were delayed due to repairs and just an all around very nice guy. Convenient to downtown Dubuque. No WIFI or TV signals. Ours was a waterfront site and was very close to our neighbors, some other non-waterfront site seemed to have had more room. We would definitely return in the future. - Bob & Stephanie

I wish I could rate this park higher. Price is very good, location on river bank is good. Sites are gravel but mainly level. Not able to use satelite due to trees and only could get one station over the air. Closeness to city center and lack of control at entrance led to a lot of drive by/thru traffic. Multiple dumpster divers coming thru rumaging thru trash. Three pm check out and four pm check in times led to traffic jam. Dump station is on tight circle in front of office. Line to dump and leave left no room for arrivals. Site manager also out of office at this critical time. Restrooms not enough to support number of campers. Odor from woods in campground suggest many have chosen to use the trees. At 15 a night it should be high on list, instead we will pass it by if this way again. - rockhill

We enjoyed our overnight stop here next to the Mississippi River. Fun to watch various boats cruise by, also the white pelicans. Quite a mix of sites. Ours was fine, but some more un level and heavily treed. Nice walking path, about a mile, perfect for an after dinner or morning stroll. Would stay again if passing through this area. - housecar

This location is closed to overnight camping. Only seasonal camping is available based on sign posted at the old office. I was told it had been closed for two years. Do not confuse this RV campground with Miller Riverview Campground about 1/2 mile away on Riverview Park Rd but on the same island. - Tireman9

This campground is located adjacent to the Mississippi river with a nice view of river. Nice flat site, no sewer available, water and power connections in pretty poor shape. A lot of permanent RVs as it has good boat ramp. Rather loud partying till about 10pm. Entrance is rather tight between gates. Not bad location as there are few alternatives in the area. Would use again if passing thru. - jliferjr

Great campground with level sites. We grabbed an electrical site which features only 50 Amp service. If you have a 30 Amp rig, you will need an adapter. There is no water at the sites but potable water is available at the nice dump station. The shower building is a state of the art facility. Beautiful park and the town is great.

Nice city run campground situated on the Pecatonica River in Darlington, Wi, also adjacent to the Tri County multi use ATV trails. Being that it is on the trails, there can be some associated noise, but it is limited mostly to daylight hours. Huge, clean, accessible shower house with flush toilets and 6 separate showers. There is a city pool within 6 blocks, grocery store in walking distance. If a person does not mind a bit of noise, this is a nice campground. - SueBee

We really liked this campsite. It is a destination park for families with a pool, swim pond and large play areas. Our site was long with plenty of space for tow truck, gravel with grass between. Very clean restrooms and showers. There is also bar and grill. We had excellent wifi as the park was very quiet being midweek and we were near the office, bar/grill. We have marked it down mainly as the interior roads are slightly tricky to negotiate the one way system on exit. Also as we are not local and this was our first visit the directional signs need to be improved. - Harris England

I would not recommend this place for a family with children. We had the worst experience of our time here. The site we had was on a slope, couldn't enjoy being outside to play games or eat our meals. We had to do that all inside. You are on top of each other, fire pits are next to your truck on both sides since the campers are on top of each other. They have a list of rules, but don't follow them whatsoever. I realized they told me, "No such thing as quiet time." They were right: the people across from us were up till 3:00 every night, blasting music and getting drunk. There was no one here patrolling the place so the people were just relieving themselves out in daylight outside. My kids got to see more than they should have. We left during the day just because of that. The bathrooms were a mud hole after the rain and no one bothered to come and clean them up. We will never go back and will let as many people know it's not a place to go. - mom2britydaw

It is out of season and all the amenities are closed but it is still a lovely place, and of course is much cheaper now. Wi-Fi was excellent at the pull-thru sites by the storage garages, the restrooms were clean and smart. The place looked well cared for and the sites were level. There are a number of seasonal sites but all are clean and tidy. We would return. - Arthur and Freda

We stayed for a few days on our way through the area in a FHU site (#29). The site was just long enough to back in our 40 ft 5th wheel, but not to park our truck. Sewer hook-up at the back of the site, so I needed two 10 ft hoses to reach. Wifi was slow but generally available. Office only open 9am - 3pm, so when we arrived about 3:30, we just picked a site and checked in the next morning. Good location close to all the attractions of historic Galena. We would return if in the area again. - Wayne60

Was assigned a level gravel/grass site. Water hookup was on the on passenger side, need 50 hose to connect. Electric and sewer was on the driver side as expected. First site assigned could not get satellite signal and had to change sites. Weekend RV'ers there on Friday and Saturday with cars in the way. These are longtime RV sites at the main entrance road. Just have to be very careful as you drive through. Come Sunday all the cars are gone making it easier to navigate. - Peter G

This is mostly seasonals and some campers who work nearby - nice people. The full hookup sites are way too close together - packed in like sardines! Very hard to fit the tow vehicle. The few pull-throughs are much more spacious. The park itself is nice and in a nice park-like setting. The sites are all tree covered, which is nice. Very convenient to Galena attractions. Walking distance to Walmart and Culvers. One major problem is that the sewer pipe is about a foot off the ground - making it very difficult to drain into it! Very bad set-up. We would stay here again, but probably skip the full hookup site and get a W&E only (seemed less crowded) and use the dump station. We did not use the pool or restrooms or the playground (which was pretty far from the sites, but in a nice setting). There was miniature golf right next to the park. - Deb and Chris

I like Ubuntu Linux, but I'm not sure I like the brown/orange desktop theme. Here is how I changed the desktop theme on my Mini 9. I was looking for ways to customize it and ran across a way to make it look like a Mac:
Not every step in these instructions worked though. For example, the Dock, Elegant Glass feature, some fonts and the Global Menu didn't work. I didn't try the splash screens or screenlets. Don't try this unless you feel comfortable restoring your system from the recovery CD. Changing your desktop theme to look like a Mac probably isn't supported by Dell either. That said, I didn't have to restore my system. I recommend trying this on an old computer first before you try changing a new Mini 9. By the time I downloaded everything and several retries, it used about 65MB of disk space.
I only had 2 problems. First, I couldn't get the Global Menu to work. Now I have an extra File Menu bar on some windows. It doesn't really bother me, but it does take up real estate on my small 8.9 inch screen. My other complaint is that some windows have funny colors sometimes. If you close the window and open it again the window usually changes back to the right colors. I can live with it.
I haven't tried changing back to the standard desktop theme yet. I guess you could. I like the Mac look and I'll probably keep using it. Ok, it's not a real Mac and it's not really running OS X. It's still pretty cool though. A $249 Mini 9n running Ubuntu Linux that looks like a Mac is way cheaper than a real $1799 Macbook Air.

"Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." NIV translation
These gifts are simply a result of the Holy Spirit being present in the life of a believer. The gifts are to be used for the good of the church but, in many cases, they are used like some sort of circus sideshow. In using these gifts for the common good, the church is unified as each believer is of value to the church as a whole.
"To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit," NIV translation
Now, Paul begins to list different ways that the Holy Spirit is displayed in the lives of Christians.
We see both wisdom and knowledge and they are both only available through the Spirit. Knowledge is understanding the things of God while wisdom is being able to apply them to practical living.
"to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit," NIV translation
Paul continues his list and we may ask about faith being on the list. While all Christians must have a measure of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, have you ever seen someone who it seems is stronger in their faith? There are some who have been given this measure where they simply just know what they know and will not be shaken or moved from it. There also those that can heal with a physical touch or through prayer. Once again, we see that they are both from the Holy Spirit.
"to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues." NIV translation
In this part of the list we see prophecy and tongues and sometimes they are confused. Prophecy is simply a person sharing a message from God with a person or persons. The message may be about things that are happening or going to happen.
Speaking in tongues has become one of the most misunderstood methods of displaying the Holy Spirit. There are those that go so far as to tell others that they are not Christians if they do not speak in tongues. To clear this up we must understand what we are talking about. Speaking in tongues is where a person speaks to God (prays) in what seems to be their own language. As we see in the list, the ability to understand these languages is another way that the Spirit is displayed.

You've seen it in movies like the Road Warrior trilogy and the Book of Eli, you've interacted with it in video games like the Fallout Series and Bioshock, you've read about it in books by William Gibson and Cormack McCarthy, not to mention tv shows like Jericho, comic books like Y: The Last man, and dreams like the one where you find yourself completely alone in the city, wearing your mothers old bathrobe and slippers for some reason. It's the future that we all started imagining once we realized the Jetsons was bullshit.
Well, this scenario assumes that apocalypse week has come and gone, and civilization has collapsed. You have 12 months to survive in a hostile ubran landscape before the Kevin Costner gets things back on track.
Here's the background:
It happened suddenly, over just a few months, it started with an oil crisis. We grossly overestimated our reserves, so when a leaked government document spelled out a dire warning, demand skyrocketed and prices were astronomical, this led to a failure of the global food network, in fact, almost all global trade seized up. Facing widespread civil dissent, the military superpowers became agressive in their contest to secure known sources. The oil wars decimated asia and the middle east. Meanwhile food shortages, sudden economic failure, and out of control inflation drove civilians into riotous frenzies of looting and revolt. It wasn't long before the corporations toppled, and not long after that, the governments. Without access to food, power, clean water, medicine, or security; people died by the millions. The population of the world, in less than a year, dropped by 33%, and was falling fast.
You were safe, part of a community of survivors living in a warehouse stocked with food and water, unfortunately a hostile gang discovered your hideout and you were forced to scatter into the Urban wasteland.
You get to take your Urban SWK with you, and you have to survive in the hostile cityscape for 12 months while waiting for civilization to reassert itself over the chaos.
1. All the best loot has been looted. Weapons and Ammunition are scarce. Bottled water is rare. Petroleum based fuels are the most in demand resource.
2. Other survivors are isolationists, distrustful, and paranoid. You can't count on help, it's every human for themselves. People rarely meet, and when they do it's either to trade or rob.
3. Outside of the city's suburbs hostile gangs, military groups, and packs of violent cannibals attack survivors on sight, to loot, subvert, or eat them.
4. Your city is a major coastal metropolis, surrounded by suburbs, then dangerous wasteland.
Your objective, simply, is to survive. Comments are open, let's see your SWKs.

Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering
NRE/MP Seminar
Nuclear & Radiological Engineering and Medical Physics Programs
Corrosion Studies of Coated Silicon-Carbide for use as Next-Generation LWR Fuel Cladding
Dr. Stephen Raiman
R&D Associate in the Corrosion Science and Technology Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 11:00:00 AM
Boggs Building, Room 3-47
Dr. Farzad Rahnema
Since the Fukushima incident in 2011, the nuclear industry has sought to replace Zircaloy fuel cladding with a material which that better withstand a beyond-design-basis incident. A suitable material must possess superior oxidation resistance in high temperature steam (1200-1700°) to withstand a loss of coolant accident, while maintaining good hydrothermal corrosion properties for environmental compatibility during normal operating conditions (288-320°C water). In addition to corrosion issues, a suitable material must also demonstrate sufficient mechanical strength, creep resistance, radiation tolerance, and favorable neutronics. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are engaged in testing of two leading candidates for accident tolerant fuel cladding: iron-chomium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys, and silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites (SiC/SiC). FeCrAl alloys have shown excellent oxidation resistance due to the formation of a passive alumina film in high temperature steam, and a protective Fe-Cr spinel layer in water. SiC/SiC has shown excellent corrosive properties in high temperature steam, but a tendency to dissolve in LWR water. To improve the performance of SiC/SiC during normal operating conditions, several protective coatings are under investigation. This talk will present results and analysis of experiments investigating corrosion of SiC materials and FeCrAl alloys with and without mitigation coatings during normal operating conditions, and during accident scenarios. Emphasis will be placed on hydrothermal corrosion experiments with coated SiC in BWR-HWC and BWR-NWC (288°C with 150 ppb H2 or 2 ppm O2 respectively) conditions. Coating development efforts will be discussed, along with results of corrosion experiments in high-temperature steam. Development and validation of FeCrAl alloys will also be discussed and compared to development of SiC/SiC
Dr. Stephen Raiman is an R&D Associate in the Corrosion Science and Technology Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He is interested in understanding corrosion and degradation of materials in nuclear power plants and other extreme environments. His recent work has focused on evaluating materials for accident tolerant fuel cladding in light water reactors, and on materials compatibility in molten salts for use in molten salt reactors and concentrated solar power. Prior to joining ORNL, he graduated from The University of Michigan in 2016 with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences.

The UK's leading uPVC sash window manufacturer
Newsletter #2
Welcome to our second Roseview Times newsletter, and our first Christmas version!
As 2016 draws to a close, we're looking forward to the new year more than ever, That's because 2017 marks a very special anniversary for Roseview – it's our 40th birthday. Roseview started business on January 20th 1977, so we'll be celebrating our anniversary throughout the year, especially at the FIT Show in May.
This issue of the newsletter also has information on our Christmas opening hours this year. And you'll find mention of the G16 Award we won at the end of November 🙂
So why not take five minutes, grab a cup of tea (or better still a mulled wine) and see what we've been up to. If there's anything here you'd like to talk to us about, we'd love to hear from you. Call our team on 01234 712657 or email us at email@example.com.
Ho ho ho!

Christmas Opening Hours
This year we'll be closing for Christmas at 12.30pm on Friday 23rd December. The last day for window deliveries will be Thursday 22nd.
We will re-open, ready and raring to go, at 8am on Tuesday 3rd January. Deliveries will restart on Wednesday 4th.
We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Enjoy the break – you've earned it!
We won!
We're delighted to announce that Roseview won the G16 Customer Care Initiative of the Year award at this year's G Awards in London.
The glittering awards ceremony was held in the Park Lane Hilton on Friday 18th November, and was hosted by brilliant comedian Milton Jones. We were up for two awards: Fabricator of the Year and Customer Care Initiative of the Year. Although we didn't win the Fabricator award, we were really proud to have been selected as one of the four finalists. Congratulations to Solidor who took that award on the night.
But the icing on the cake for us was winning the Customer Care award. Focusing on customer care has been a key theme at Roseview this year, and we've launched a number of initiatives that helped turn the judges heads. On top of our year-round commitment to looking after our customers, the judges were particularly impressed by three things: our range of customer and marketing support materials, our new customer showroom designed to support trade and commercial customers, and – above all – our sash window training school. Run by our MD Willie Kerr, the sash school provides a range of free half-day courses for our customers. The courses are designed to help our customers sell, survey and install sash windows, potentially opening up new and lucrative window projects for them.
As a result of winning the award we can now say that we don't just make award-winning products, we also give award-winning customer service to go with them!
We had a terrific night at the awards. As ever it was a great opportunity to meet up with customers, suppliers and friends, and have a drink, a dance and a laugh with them. And while there were a few sore heads the next morning, looking at that G16 trophy makes it worthwhile!
If you'd like more information about our sash school or any of our customer care initiatives, please call us on 01234 712657 or visit our website.
Roseview's 40th birthday
2017 will see Roseview's 40th anniversary!
The company was officially formed on January 20th 1977, in a factory just 100 yards down the road from where we are now. Originally we manufactured Rehau casement windows and doors and installed them in the local area of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire. However, we quickly started manufacturing windows for other installers as well, and pretty soon we'd turned into a full-blown fabricator.
Before long we'd outgrown our original factory, so in the early 80s (nobody can remember exactly when!) we moved into our current factory unit. Then, in 1985, our Rehau rep came to us with a new product they were developing. It was the first uPVC vertical slider system in the UK, and we jumped at the chance to be the first fabricator to manufacture it. Shortly afterwards that rep – Willie Kerr – joined us to run our production. Today he's our Managing Director.
Since then we haven't looked back. We stopped manufacturing casements to concentrate solely on VSs a few years later. In the 90s we took on a second VS system (back then it was Plastmo, now it's Eurocell), and in the 2000s we closed our installation department to concentrate solely on manufacturing industry-leading uPVC sash windows. Today we're known throughout the industry as the UK's leading uPVC sash window company, and our Rose Collection suite of windows are delivered to installers all over the UK and abroad.
So 2017 is going to be a very special year for us. We'll mark our official birthday on January 20th. However, to be honest that's a bit too close to Christmas for us to have a proper do! So we'll be focusing our celebrations on the FIT Show in May, where we'll be exhibiting for the second time. Make sure you come along and see us!
There'll also be other things going on throughout the year. We'll release more information about the different things that are happening closer to the time, but to start things off we'll be running an Installation Of The Month competition. Each month we'll invite you, our customers, to send in pictures of your installations using Rose Collection sash windows. Every month the one we like the most will win a prize, and at the end of the year one of the monthly winners will win our Installation Of The Year award. So dust your cameras off and get snapping!
Roseview blog
Have you seen the sash windows blog on our website?
As part of our big website redesign earlier this year we decided to include a blog. All the posts are written by members of Roseview staff, and cover company news, industry news, hints and tips, and sometimes just things that amuse us. We're also planning to write a series of sash window articles that complement the information from our sash school courses.
It's still early days, so there will be lots of new articles going up over the course of the coming year. Check it out and see what you think. And if there's something you'd like us to cover, drop us a line and we'll see what we can do!
News in brief…
FIT Show 2017
Keep 23rd-25th May 2017 free! The FIT Show has moved to the NEC in Birmingham. We'll be there, but this time with a much bigger stand.
Keep your eye on our Twitter account (@RoseviewWindows) in the new year for information on our new Installation Of The Month competition.
In January we'll be launching a series of product and service videos. We'll announce them when they're ready – watch our Twitter feed for details.
Until next time…
That's the end of the newsletter – I hope you enjoyed it!
The next newsletter will come out early in 2017. Until then, I hope you and your families have a fantastic Christmas and New Year.
See you on the other side!
Mike Bygrave, Marketing Manager @ Roseview Windows

Erosion of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, cells lining the wall of the digestive tract, leads to peptic ulcer. The ulcer may develop within the stomach, gastric ulcer, or in the duodenum, duodenal ulcer, or in the esophagus, esophageal ulcer. The most common one is the duodenal ulcer.
Symptoms of peptic ulcer
1- A burning sensation if it is gastric or pain in the middle of your gut if it is duodenal. This is The most common symptom. The pain becomes severe when your stomach is empty or when you eat, drink, or take antacids. The pain may last for a few minutes to several hours.
2- Weight loss because of reducing the food intake as a result of the pain.
3- Nausea, vomiting, and heartburn.
4- Anemia
5- Also, tiredness, shortness of breath, and paler skin, dark stools.
Remedies to treat ulcers
1- prevention is better than cure
You have to avoid things which trigger the development of ulcers. Avoid Drinking too much alcohol, tea, and coffee. Lower eating spicy foods. Also, smoking increases the risk of ulcers.
2- bananas
Eating bananas are very helpful in treating ulcers. They neutralize stomach acidity by inhibiting production of gastric juice. Also, Leucocyanidin which present in bananas increases the thickness of the mucous membrane of the stomach, increasing protection against the potential damage caused by ulcers.
3- Milk
Drinking a glass of milk reduces the risk of developing ulcers. You should drink it when you take common pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen. It helps avoid the chronic irritation of the stomach lining that develops after long-term use of pain relievers.
Milk has proven beneficial in treating this malady. This milk helps to reduce the excessive volumes of acid in the stomach.
4- Cabbage
In a recent study of 45 inmates at San Quentin Prison in California, 93 % of the ulcers in prisoners taking cabbage juice concentrate in capsules were healed after three weeks.
Only 32 % of the ulcers healed in those taking a dummy capsule cabbage strengthen the stomach lining's resistance to acid attacks.
Consume cabbage by boiling 250 grams of these vegetables in one liter of water 'till just about half of the liquid is left over.
5- Tea
Foods containing flavonoids, like apples, cranberries, garlic, and tea may inhibit the growth of H. Pylori which causes the ulcers.
Tea has excellent medicinal properties for relieving peptic ulcer.

While some seniors consider 65 the top of the hill, Avonhead retiree Brian Clarkson has a different view – thanks to a Sport Canterbury accredited strength and balance programme provider.
"Your fitness doesn't have to go downhill from 65 to 70, you can build it up through these programmes."
Each week Clarkson attends the YMCA Bishopdale Life Fit Circuit, which incorporates 20 different exercises in a friendly, supportive environment.
"We have very good instructors. You do the exercises with the same people, a mixture of men and women, and Paul Dunn (YMCA Bishopdale) knows everybody by name."
In the past 20 years, the Burnside Bowls Club regular has had surgery on both rotator cuffs and two hip replacements – the most recent was only 12 months ago.
However Clarkson claims that over the past 12 months of Life Fit Circuits, his fitness has returned to what it was two years ago. He recognises the importance of maintaining muscle mass, which deteriorates rapidly with age.
"I can actually do anything now and not get any pain."
He had always been an early riser, getting up at 6am for an hour's walk before work.
"However I found with that (walking), I wasn't getting the flexibility, which the classes give. And through that building balance and strength.
"You can walk, cycle or whatever you like – and that's good for your breathing, but you need more than that for your flexibility and your balance."
Paul Dunn, YMCA Health and Fitness Manager, agrees on the benefits that Life Fit Circuit offers.
"It's about the strength and cardio ability, but it's definitely more than that – also flexibility, mobility and resistance."
The Life Fit Circuit participants may be 70, or 80+, however the machines at each station let the participant choose their level of resistance.
Dunn points out that the benefits go far beyond strength and balance, however.
"There's the social connection. There's a group going out for lunch today. That separates this class from your average after work group."
"When everyone gets on, it kind of drags you along," Clarkson adds. "Everyone says – 'You're coming Wednesday or you're coming Friday?'"
Dunn agrees, with a smile. "That's right - you're accountable."
Balance is often a component of fitness that is overlooked when it comes to physical activity, however the New Zealand Ministry of Health recommends that older adults take part in balance-related training three times a week.
Improving balance promotes independence and "Living Stronger for Longer."
From July 2016 to June 2017, Canterbury men aged 60+ submitted 8,404 new claims to ACC as a result of falls.
Falling is not part of the aging process and can be avoided. One of the best ways to help prevent falls is to add exercises into your physical activity regime that include core and leg strengthening as well as balance.

Flora A. M. Holden Cookbook, ca.1870-1896
1 vol. (0.1 linear feet)
Collection number: MS 488 bd
Born in Marlboro, Mass., on July 28, 1849, Flora Ann Martin Ellithorp married Frank B. Holden of the adjacent town of Hudson on Nov. 22, 1871. The couple had three children: Marion Carlton, Fred Tracy, and Beatrice Spurr. Flora was just 35 when she died of liver cancer on May 24, 1885.
Holden's manuscript receipt book includes recipes for a variety of baked goods and desserts, but primarily cakes and custards. Although some of the recipes may be original to her or her family, others are clearly attributed to other writers and some may have been derived from published cookbooks. Among the recipes are some of the most popular dishes of the era, including Parker House rolls, Washington pie, and Graham bread.

U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-18, Upper St. Clair Township, says he has a lot more work to do for his district, but his challenger in Tuesday's Republican primary, Evan Feinberg, says the incumbent already has done too much -- damage.
Murphy, 59, has held office in the district for about a decade and previously served as a state senator from 1996 to 2002. Before holding office, Murphy was a practicing psychologist who co-authored two books.
Feinberg, 28, of Upper St. Clair, has never run for public office before, but he served as a senior aide to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., as well as a researcher for the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C.
Murphy is seeking his fifth full term as congressman in the district that covers portions of Allegheny, Washington and Westmoreland counties, as well as Frankfort Springs and Hanover Township in Beaver County, because "there is a lot more work left to do."
He said energy jobs in the coal, gas and nuclear industries are under attack by the current administration, noting that mandates from federal agencies already have cost hundreds of jobs.
"We can do drilling in a responsible way," Murphy said.
Also, Murphy said he is the best person to help fight to stop the closing of the 911th Air Force Reserve and the reduction of the 171st Pennsylvania Air National Guard bases in Moon Township because he has been through previous efforts to shut down the 911th.
And Murphy said he wants to repeal the current national health care plan but replace it with one that works better. He said that is where his 30 years' experience in health care comes into play.
"We need to continue to work toward cutting spending," Murphy said. "There are several issues we are aggressively working on that we need to follow through on."
In response to complaints from some, including Republican primary opponent Feinberg, that he does not score high enough on conservative scorecards, Murphy said what matters to him are the scorecards of his constituents.
He said his constituents are a very diverse group who cover the very poorest to billionaires, and come from areas rich in natural gas to homes to big corporations to towns struggling to reinvent themselves.
Feinberg said he wants the nomination for the two-year term because the country is $16 trillion in debt and he believes Murphy was part of the problem.
"I am a believer in the American dream. I am a believer in small government," Feinberg said. He said he is tired of politicians putting the next election before their next-door neighbor.
Feinberg said he is an advocate for reducing the size and scope of the government through entitlement reform, the elimination of some agencies such as the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency, and making significant cuts throughout the system.
"The government is going in the wrong direction," Feinberg said.

Pitch in for Earth Day by Cleaning Up Coastal Beaches: Earth Day—an international effort to conserve and protect the planet—will be observed for the 46th time this Friday. There are plenty of events scheduled around the Bay Area to celebrate the global fight for environmental protection, including the annual cleanup effort organized by the Pacifica Beach Coalition. Volunteers will be combing local beaches from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, with the goal of keeping the coastal areas clean of detritus and trash, from Daly City to Half Moon Bay. Last year, some 7,150 volunteers picked up and removed 5,000 pounds of trash from 75 different sites. The eco-volunteers will meet Saturday morning at Linda Mar Beach, which can be reached by SamTrans Route 17.
Electric Bike Expo in Palo Alto: Getting a nice workout on your bike is always a good time, but aren't there moments when you're chugging up a huge hill that you wished you had a little extra help? That's the mindset behind the rising popularity of electric bikes and the reason that Palo Alto will host a three-day event showcasing that technology this weekend. Attendees at the Electric Bike Expo will have the opportunity to test-drive more than 100 different electric bike models, which include the latest designs from acclaimed companies like Trek and Bosch.

Ottawa Senators 2, Vancouver Canucks 1 FINALNHL.com @NHLdotcom
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) _ Daniel Alfredsson took advantage of a lucky bounce to help the Ottawa Senators win a tight-checking defensive battle.
Alfredsson scored an unassisted goal after the puck hopped past three Vancouver players with nine minutes left, lifting Ottawa to a 2-1 win over the Canucks on Saturday night.
Wade Redden's high dump-in was gloved out of the air by Bryan Allen, bounced off the glove of fellow Canucks defenseman Sami Salo, over the stick of Ryan Kesler, and right to Alfredsson just inside the Vancouver blue line.
Alfredsson skated down the middle and ripped a 20-foot wrist shot past Johan Hedberg high on the stick side for his 29th goal.
``It was a little bit of a lucky break to get it with the puck bouncing in the air,'' Alfredsson said. ``Two of the guys hit it with their gloves and one of their guys missed it and I got a lot of room to walk in and pick my spot.''
That extended the Senators captain's point streak to seven games, giving him four goals and seven assists during that stretch.
``He's a good player and he's having a good year and he got a good shot away and he beat me,'' Hedberg said after making 18 saves.
Marian Hossa also scored and Martin Prusek made 19 saves for the Senators, who stayed within a point of Boston atop the Northeast Division.
``It was a tight-checking game and it could have gone to either side,'' Senators coach Jacques Martin said.
Pat Kavanagh scored and Hedberg made 18 saves for the Canucks, who were playing for the fourth time in six nights and just one day after a 4-3 overtime win in Edmonton.
``There wasn't a lot of chances either way, it was very much like a playoff-style game,'' Canucks coach Marc Crawford said. ``They got a couple of breaks tonight: One goal off a miscue by our goaltender and the other goal off a funny bounce and they capitalized on their chances.''
It was Vancouver's first loss (1-1-1) since star forward Todd Bertuzzi was suspended for the rest of the season and playoffs for a sucker punch Monday night that left Colorado forward Steve Moore in the hospital with fractured vertebrae, a concussion and deep cuts on his face.
The Canucks missed Bertuzzi's 245-pound presence on the power play, especially when Ottawa's Chris Neil received a four-minute penalty for clipping Marek Malik in the face with his stick early in the third period.
Brendan Morrison hit the post on the only scoring chance as the Canucks failed to record a shot and struggled to gain control of the puck in the Ottawa end during the lengthy power play.
Vancouver finished 0-for-3 against the Senators and is 1-for-10 with the man advantage without Bertuzzi.
``It's a big difference when you don't have Todd going in and getting pucks and standing in front,'' Canucks captain Markus Naslund said.
Ottawa appeared to open the scoring on Zdeno Chara's power-play point shot 1:37 in, but the goal was waved off because Mike Fischer interfered with Hedberg.
Hossa gave the Senators a 1-0 lead 46 seconds into the middle period after Hedberg coughed up the puck to Peter Bondra behind the Canucks net. Bondra fed Hossa just outside the right circle for a fluttering shot that bounced off Canucks defenseman Sami Salo and past Hedberg as he dived back into the net.
``It's my fault,'' said Hedberg, who posted shutouts in his previous two starts before giving up five goals to Colorado in relief Monday. ``I attempted to play the puck and couldn't get it away and the guy gets it and I couldn't get back.''
Kavanagh, playing just his second NHL game of the season and fifth career, tied it less than three minutes later with a deflection of Salo's high point shot. The play was reviewed because Kavanagh's stick was up near his shoulders.

Value classes
- Type safety for no runtime cost
- Broad view on Scala TypeSyste,
Domain Types
- DEMO : jug.lodz.workshops.starter.valueclasses.ValueClassesDemo
A Class based on primitives look like this :
class User(val id: Int, val age: Int,val salary: Int)
When creating new instance :
val user=new User(1,2,3)
It is difficult to say if we did not make a mistake by passing age when salary was expected. Compiler will not help us because everything is an Int
However we can easily create dedicated domain type for each variable
class UserId(val value: Int) extends AnyVal
class Age(val number: Int) extends AnyVal
class Salary(val amount: Int) extends AnyVal
class DomainUser(val id: UserId, val age: Age, val salary: Salary){
override def toString = s"DomainUser(id=${id.value}, age=${age.number}, salary=${salary.amount})"
Now there is no risk that we pass wrong parameters into wrong methods spots.
val userId = new UserId(1)
val age = new Age(28)
val salary = new Salary(10000)
val domainUser = new DomainUser(userId, age, salary)
Let's see if we need to pay for this typesafety in the runtime
No allocation in runtime
We already saw code fragment which uses domain classes :
//primitive types
class User(val id: Int, val age: Int,val salary: Int)
//domain types
class UserId(val value: Int) extends AnyVal
class Age(val number: Int) extends AnyVal
class Salary(val amount: Int) extends AnyVal
class DomainUser(val id: UserId, val age: Age, val salary: Salary){
override def toString = s"DomainUser(id=${id.value}, age=${age.number}, salary=${salary.amount})"
What we are going to see when we decompile result java classes? The compiled version of DomainUser constructor will expect 3 int like in the first example.
javap target/scala-2.12/classes/jug/lodz/workshops/starter/valueclasses/DomainUser.class
Compiled from "ValueClassesDemo.scala"
public class jug.lodz.workshops.starter.valueclasses.DomainUser {
public jug.lodz.workshops.starter.valueclasses.DomainUser(int, int, int);
pawel@maszyna:~/projects/workshops/jugworkshops$ javap target/scala-2.12/classes/jug/lodz/workshops/starter/valueclasses/User.class
Compiled from "ValueClassesDemo.scala"
public class jug.lodz.workshops.starter.valueclasses.User {
public jug.lodz.workshops.starter.valueclasses.User(int, int, int);
So we have type safety during compilation and primitive performance in runtime. The only cost is in compilation time and AnyVal restrictions like the one that it can have only one field.
Extension Methods
There is one additional usage of AnyVal . Because every class which extends AnyVal doesn't allocate additional memory so it is used very often when creating temporary implicit object for extension method
object Extensions{
implicit class StringExtensions(base:String){
def display=println(s"Extension : $base")
import Extensions._
"Standard text".display
Types system
You can see on the picture that AnyVal is on the left side and that Every primitive representation inherit from it.
There are also two interesting types at the bottom of the picture. Those are called bottom types and fill holes of java system.
val a:Null=null
val i:AnyRef=a
During those exercises we will recall some concepts learned in previous exercises.
- EXERCISES : exercise file: starter.valueclasses.exercises.ValueClassesExercises tests: starter.valueclasses.exercises.ValueClassesExercisesTest
- ANSWERS : starter.valueclasses.answers.ValueClassesAnswers
Exercise 1 - Database
In exercise file you have blueprint of three classes. Update those definitions so that all test from EXERCISE1 passes.
object Item {
def apply(id:Int,name: String, description: String):Item = ???
object Amount {
object Purchase {
Also uncomment
object Database {
and check if database test passes.
Exercise 2 - Safe DAO
Update both methods findPurchase and findPurchaseWithItem in Safe Dao
Exercise 3 - Data Cache
Implement findPurchase so that results are stored in local cache (immutable Map with mutable reference)

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said the Government will support to empower the grassroot level entrepreneurs so they are able to grow and create new jobs for the nation to build up a strong economy.
"By strengthening small and medium local businesses, we build a stronger economy. Our target is to ensure finance flows to grassroots-level businesses," the Prime Minister said addressing the opening session of Asian Credit Associations Forum in Colombo today.
The Premier said state and private banks should focus more attention to grant loans to small scale entrepreneurs. As the economy get stronger new revenue sources are needed and therefore, the next year budget will allocate funds to the State Banks to uplift small scale enterprises, he added.
The government's objective is to encourage rural entrepreneurs and for this purpose the government has started 'Swashakthi' loan scheme.
"We started a new way to strengthen the grassroot businesses. What we aim is to build a more systematic financing basis for the grassroot businesses in cooperation with non-governmental and private sectors," the Premier said.
