Candidates suffering due to delay in interviews at PMAS-AAUR
Rawalpindi: Internal politics at the Pir Mehr Ali Shah-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR) has not only stopped the hiring process on vacant seats, but also created many issues for the candidates who are visiting the university daily for their interviews and are being kept on waiting for hours for arrival of interview board.
Daily hundreds of candidates, including females, are visiting the university for their interviews, but university administration has no answer for them when their interviews would be conducted, as higher command of the university is facing political pressure and internal university politics in this matter.
Muhammad Tahir, a candidate for project director, said that this is the third day he was visiting the university for his interview, but there was no one to tell him what the actual problem was and when university would conduct the interviews. He said like him hundreds of candidates, including females, have to wait for hours while fasting in the holy month of Ramazan. "I am already doing a job in a university and I can't get leave every day for my interview so concerned authorities should take notice of the problems of the candidates and solve the issue as soon as possible," he added.
Mohammad Bilal, another candidate, said that the process of interviews is simple as after advertising the vacant posts, the university board should have conducted the interviews. "I don't know why some university officials are delaying the hiring process creating many problems for the candidates," he added.
A university professor, on condition of anonymity, told this scribe that a group of employees of the university was trying to delay the hiring process and to defame the vice chancellor of the university. He said this group was in power for the last many years because of former VC and was getting maximum benefits, but now VC Dr. Irfan Ul-Haque is following rules and regulations and working for the benefits of all the staff members, which this group doesn't want that's why they are tying to create hurdles in hiring process.
When contacted PMAS-AAUR Registrar Dr. Arshad Nawaz Chaudhry, he said that they are following the rules and regulations and there is nothing illegal in hiring process and anyone could come and check this process. Talking about the problems of the candidates who come for interviews for vacant posts, he said: "We have made arrangements for them and trying our level best to facilitate them. We understand their problems, but the hiring process has been stopped for now and as soon as the process would resume, we would call all remaining candidates for the interviews," he added. The news
Arid university: Impasse continues, governor steps in
Islamabad: Issue of appointments of 129 faculty members and staff in Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, has taken a new turn as Secretary Agriculture and Governor Punjab have taken notice of the appointments.
On Tuesday, the secretary called Vice Chancellor (VC) of the university in his office, in Lahore, due to which the VC postponed the meeting of the selection board.
Secretary Agriculture also ordered to form a committee and submit a detailed report by July 27.
According to sources, Secretary Agriculture Mian Mushtaq Ahmed, who has recently come back from China, requested VC, Prof Dr Irfanul Haq, on Monday, to visit his office along with all the record, on Tuesday.
VC postponed the meeting of the selection board, scheduled to be on Tuesday and went to Lahore.
Secretary Agriculture after examining the record decided to form a committee to do inquiry on the issue and submit a report by July 27.
President of Academic Staff Association (ASA), Prof Nadeem Akhter
Abbasi, said that he has been informed that during
the meeting of the selection board, competent candidates were dropped
and relatives of management i.e.
daughter of VC, sons of two Deans who are also member of selection board and sister of another professor were interviewed.
Another fact that feeds into the allegations is that upon retirement of the regular VC, Prof Dr Irfanul Haq was given charge of the acting VC in last week of May till July 29, 2012 (age of superannuation) to run day-to-day affairs of the university. The acting VC advertised 129 posts, days before retirement.
Resultantly, all the elected members of the university syndicate and ASA decided to oppose the decision. The chairman Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan also took notice and asked the VC to stop the process.
Therefore, chairman HEC apprised the chancellor for intervention into the matter.
Registrar of the university, Arshad Nawaz said that while VC's daughter was being interviewed, VC was not part of the selection board, so it was legal.
"It does not make any difference if blood relatives of faculty members were interviewed because all the appointments will be
done purely on merit," he said.
VC, Dr Irfanul Haq said that he suggested to the secretary agriculture to form a committee because only that is how it will be cleared.
"I also had a meeting with Governor Punjab who is chancellor of the university and informed him about the misunderstanding. So it is expected that issue will be resolved," he said. Dawn
Faisalabad GCU professor's suspension declared illegal
Lahore: justice Muhammad Khalid Mehmood Khan of the Lahore High Court (LHC) has declared illegal the suspension and initiation of inquiry against Professor Dr Shahid Mahmood Rana of the Government College University (GCU), Faisalabad.
The judge observed that the appointing authority of the petitioner was the chancellor who alone had the powers to order inquiry and probe against the petitioner.
Tipu Salman Makhdoom, the counsel for the petitioner, said that Dr Rana had been given the charge of acting VC with the approval of chancellor on March 5, 2009, and that he held the post until he was removed on October 24, 2010.
The counsel submitted that the incumbent vice chancellor, on May 14, 2011, discussed the petitioner's appointment as acting VC in a syndicate meeting and issued his suspension orders and initiation of an inquiry with a mala fide intention. Daily times

BOUND TO PLEASE / Former martial artist replaces samurai sword with tea scoop
By Hiroko Ihara / Japan News Staff WriterFor some, it is a graceful feast for the senses. Others find it complicated, too ceremonial and difficult to approach. Enthusiasts insist it is an art, while older generations remember it as part of the training for homemaking.
Conflicting views surround the tea ceremony, a traditional Japanese art with a 400-year history. It is also called chanoyu, or the way of tea.
Chanoyu is not merely about a bowl of tea and sweets. It is "the epitome of Japanese culture" with "Japanese omotenashi hospitality [having] its birth in it," states Randy Channell Soei, author of "The Book of Chanoyu: Tea ... The Master Key to Japanese Culture."
This five-chapter book, written in English and Japanese and full of magnificent color photos, is a marvelous guide for newcomers. It is also indispensable for Japanese who want to teach chanoyu in English.
Channell, a Canadian, first came to Japan in 1985 to learn martial arts. Soon, he began to seek a way to create a personal union of cultural and martial arts. He discovered the way of tea has many similarities to martial arts. So, holding a tea scoop instead of a samurai sword, he moved to Kyoto for a three-year intensive course at the Urasenke headquarters for chanoyu, completing it in 1996. He now teaches while still walking "the path that has no end."
This book makes it feel as if you are attending a lesson-cum-tea-gathering hosted by the author. Here are some of my takeaways from the encounter:
1. It depends on luck, but meeting a good teacher is very important. (He did.)
2. A vast amount of chanoyu vocabulary, including key words of Japanese culture, is explained.
3. Many utensils and sweets in chanoyu have poetic names based on old poems or Zen thought.
4. "Chanoyu is a living museum of traditional arts and crafts," Channell writes. It connects us "to many facets of Japanese culture, sometimes with seemingly unrelated matters such as architecture, flower arrangement, landscaping and the kimono."
5. "Sen [no] Rikyu is the founding father of chanoyu." He committed suicide as ordered by his master Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a powerful warlord. The reason is one of the mysteries in history. A recently released movie depicts the master as hating Rikyu's taste for black color. Despite his intention, black tea bowls are fundamental to serving thick tea today.
6. A highlight of chanoyu is "chaji," a formal gathering for a small group that includes a beautiful kaiseki meal. "Kaiseki has greatly influenced washoku [Japanese cuisine] in such elements as using seasonal plates and adorning rooms with the season's flowers and scrolls."
7. "In the sixteenth century, some chaire [tea containers] were known to have been valued as much as a castle!" Some of them are star items in museums today.
Recently, a small ceramic bowl made headlines. Its authenticity was questioned after the bowl, treasured by an old family, was valued at ¥25 million on a popular TV program on the grounds it is the same type as ancient tea bowls designated as national treasures. Tea utensils handed down from generation to generation are deeply valuable and difficult to acquire.
But that is another story. Instead, I would like to direct your attention to a photo at the end of the book that shows Channell silently bowing to his guests as they depart, thus completing his lesson in serene hospitality.

There are two faces to the academic accountability phenomenon. On the one hand there is the reductionist perversion of education that is often referred to as high stakes testing. You know, the governmental requirements to evaluate schools based on some narrow and questionable metrics, usually statewide academic test scores, coupled with little of the carrot and lots of the stick.Read More
What's Happening in Character?
Recent Posts
"Leaving Your Ex(trinsics)" is the title of Chapter 6 in my book You Can't Teach Through a Rat, and the one I most frequently recommend to educators, because the issue of intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation seems the most nagging and intractable issue that educators in general and character educators in particular struggle with. There are multiple reasons to struggle with this issue. On the positive side: (1) it is the point of Character.org's 7th principle in their 11 Principles of Effective Character Education (which is used to evaluate schools nationally for excellence in character education, namely Schools of Character); (2) it is after all the point of character education; that is, getting kids to internalize core values so they become part of who they are and take them wherever they go in life; and (3) it works.Read More
Topics: intrinsic motivation
By Marvin Berkowitz, Ph.D.
It was early in my career when I first had to confront the idea of how we think about kids. As an undergraduate at the University of Buffalo over 40 years ago, I took Willis Overton's developmental psychology class, which focused on a chapter he was writing with Hayne Reese on what they called "models of man." It essentially explored the assumptions about fundamental human nature implicit in the leading psychological theories of the day. And it starkly contrasted a behaviorist (mechanistic) approach from a constructivist (organismic) approach. The former sees the person as a recipient of external inputs (experience) that accrue molecularly. People are not initiators of interactions nor interpreters of experience, merely the passive recipients of and responders to what the world does to us. And development happens smoothly as these bits of experience add up, much like the formation of a stalactite in a cave. It is largely a mechanical cause and effect process. The great thinkers in this tradition are B.F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov.
Quite differently, the constructivist approach sees the child as an innate meaning maker. Even the newborn infant interprets experience. And initiates interactions with the world simply to help make sense of it. We develop not in straight lines but in spurts and steps and in stages that may be more different in kind than in amount. We are innate scientists trying to make sense of a complex world. The great thinker in this tradition is Jean Piaget.
So which are we? What is our true nature?Read More
Topics: intrinsic motivation, PBIS
by Marvin Berkowitz, of the University of Missouri's Center for Character & Citizenship
I was recently asked how to convince people that character education actually works. The cynicism, skepticism, and conservativism out there often astounds me. Amy Johnston, the award-winning principal of 2008 National School of Character Francis Howell Middle School (St. Charles, MO), expresses the same frustration.
As the character education pioneer in her district, she often presents a comparison of her school's academic and character data as compared with the other four middle schools in her district. Even early in her character education journey, she started to see her school pull away from the other four in both areas.
When other educators noticed the results she was getting, they began to ask for her secrets. She answered "character education." To which they typically replied "No. Really. What did it?" So she would explain how she used character education to rethink and reform her school and would describe the specific initiatives she enacted, like looped, multi-aged "homerooms" and a collaboratively-generated set of four core values with a corresponding rubric crafted in part by students. And they would shake their heads and walk away seemingly disappointed. So she laments "they see the data, I tell them what we did, and they don't believe it. What more can I do?"
Amy's frustration mirrors the frustration of many educators who believe in character education and base their beliefs on hard data. I hear all too often that "there is no research on character education." Well that is patently inaccurate.

As the weather has been so cold and rainy for the last 2 weeks, we have decided to stay home most weekends and keep warm and cosy! However, with 3 children that isn't always as lovely and relaxing as it sounds!
I find that most weekends the kids want to stay home and play after their busy week at school, sometimes staying home with them drives me mad but there are definitely ways to make it more bearable and it means i get to save money!
My children (like most) are tablet/iphone obsessed and would play games on their devices all weekend long if i let them. I don't like to see them spending all of their weekend on their tablets so i'm usually the one to go hunting around the house looking for fun things to do with them.
K is the youngest and he loves to bake cakes, we usually do some baking most weekends so I know he's done his favourite thing and he's happy. The older ones are harder to entertain, because they would prefer to be playing on their tablets!
Games always go down well with my children, they love trying new games but still love playing their old favourites such as Dobble and Game of Life. This week we have tried 2 new games, the first one is Top Trumps cards. My partner was shocked that i had never played it before or that i never had any as a child! This game was a little too hard for 4 year old K to understand so we played it after he went to bed.
Top Trumps is fun and quick and easy, it can drag on for a long time but if you limit yourself to 10 minutes only it's not so bad. I like games that don't require any set up if it's a quick game before bedtime, so this one is perfect! There are plenty different Top Trumps cards to collect, our girls chose Shopkins and Trolls
We also tried this PJ Masks game, my youngest is a big fan and he really enjoyed the game, although he didn't really follow the rules of the game too well!
The game comes with all the PJ Masks characters, playing cards, Romeo's Lab and 15 robots. The object of the game is to work together as a team to defeat the Robots from taking over. It's quite easy to follow but some 4 year olds may find it difficult like my little boy did. Definitely worth a go for rainy day fun for all PJ Masks fans!
This game includes 1x Game Board, 33x Playing Cards, 4x Movers, 15x Robots, 15x Robot Bases, 1x Romeo's Lab, 1x Romeo's Lab Base & instructions.
This game is suitable for 1-4 players. Suitable for ages 4 years and up.
Playing Time: 20 minutes
This game is suitable for 1-4 players. Suitable for ages 4 years and up.
Playing Time: 20 minutes
Kids love to play games and toys that they haven't seen in a long time, so before you go out splashing cash on new games maybe have a look at the back of the cupboards to see if you can find their old favourites?
Thanks for Reading :-) Enjoy your weekend however you choose to spend it!

This was a pretty good week for me. I finally had a chance to wear my 1940s dress I got on eBay. I've been lusting after it in my closet for months, but wanted somewhere special to wear it. Since I'm single and didn't feel like waiting to wear it on a date, I wore it for a photoshoot at the beautiful Grings Mill.
I'm working for five days over the weekend (Friday through Tuesday), so it will be rather uneventful for me. I don't dress up when I work so I usually just do some stuff in my flat during my free time. Right now there's chaos in my library ever since I got my 1940s bedroom set. I got rid of my entertainment center in my bedroom, which had a lot of storage, so now I have all of the items that were in there in my library.

Rolnick Chiropractic
Dr. Ellie's Health Tips: Stroke Prevention: When a blood vessel leading to or in the brain bursts, the brain is deprived of vital oxygen and nutrients. This incident is called a stroke. Strokes are the number three killer in the United States, affecting over 700,000 people each year. A stroke can leave you with weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, speech difficulties, balance issues and memory loss. A severe stroke can kill you. If it doesn't, it may leave you paralyzed and in a coma. The bottom line is that a stroke is a condition that needs to be avoided at all costs. Melanie Haiken from Caring.com has compiled a list of five foods that can lead to a stroke.
Learn this list and avoid these foods: (1) Crackers, chips, store bought pastries and baked goods and fried fast foods (like chicken nuggets, fries and onion rings). These types of foods contain hydrogenated oil (trans fats). Trans fats are dangerous artery blockers that not only contribute to strokes, but they also cause heart disease. (2) Smoked and processed meat. Processed meats like bacon, sausage and cold cuts contain preservatives, sodium nitrate and nitrite. Sodium nitrate and nitrite cause blood vessels to harden and narrow. (3) Diet soda. The reason diet sodas are a trigger for strokes is not exactly known, but Columbia University recently presented a paper at an American Stroke Association conference that said that diet soda drinkers had 60% more strokes than those who didn't drink diet soda. (4) Red meat. Red meat is high in saturated animal fat. Saturated animal fat clogs blood vessels by building up protein plaques in the arteries. If you eat meat, choose the leanest cuts available. (5) And lastly, canned soup and prepared foods (frozen, store made). Why? Salt. High salt intake leads to high blood pressure, which is a major factor in stroke. People, who consume over 4000 mg of salt per day double their risk of stroke. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Americans average close to 3500 mg per day, which is entirely too much sodium in the daily diet. A stroke is not only devastating to the person it happens to, but it also has a major impact on the entire family. If you can avoid having a stroke by avoiding these five types of foods, I would make a huge effort to eliminate or decrease your consumption of them considerably, for your sake and for your family's sake.
Chiropractic Thought for the Month: Chiropractic offers a unique place in modern health care. On the one hand, it draws upon modern scientific knowledge and techniques. On the other hand, it utilizes the ancient concepts of self-healing, life energy and natural healing. Chiropractic teaches us that the best way to improve our health is by removing the elements that interfere with normal body function. Along with spinal nerve pressure, these include drugs, unnatural foods, pollution, chemicals, excess tension and other forms of emotional distress. ~ Tedd Koren, D.C For more information, call Rolnick Chiropractic at 207-283- 1168 or check out our web page at www.rolnickchiropractic.com
Why struggle alone?
Life can be stressful for all of us. At times we feel alone and wish that we had someone to talk to outside of our immediate family and friends, someone who could see and understand our concerns from a fresh perspective. With increased self understanding, comes the ability to be more conscious about behavior choices and to reduce repeating self defeating patterns. The therapeutic relationship can offer the opportunity to learn new skills for creating and improving other relationships.
Andrea Summer, licensed clinical counselor and modern psychoanalyst, is now expanding her practice at 9 Beach St., Saco, Me. Evening hours are available, most insurances are accepted or a sliding scale fee schedule is possible. Andrea works with adolescents, adults and couples. There is also an opportunity to be part of a therapeutic support group with a focus on relationship building and stress management in the near future.

The Home Energy Savings Program
The Home Energy Savings Program, or HESP from Efficiency Maine is providing the most accessible support for homeowners who need to re-insulate their homes," reports Mark Walker, General Manager of Home Snuggers. To help them cut their heating bills, Efficiency Maine will rebate up to $1,500 to customers. And almost all new Home Snuggers customers qualify for at least $1,000 from Efficiency Maine.
Home Snuggers is a Windham based family business founded in 2011, solely for the purpose of re-insulating homes in Maine. Their premier product, RetroFoam, is a super insulation technology tested in thousands of existing American homes over the last 10 years. Homeowners typically slash their heating bills by one third with the addition of RetroFoam to their exterior walls. RetroFoam seals all the gaps and cracks where heat escapes and eliminates drafts.
Anyone interested in financing the modest cost of a RetroFoam installation - an average home is only $2,500 to $4,000 - can apply for a low interest PACE Loan from Efficiency Maine. Energy savings usually cover the monthly loan payments, which makes it easy to pay off quickly.
According to Walker, "Everyone knows energy costs will rise in coming years. Home Snuggers provides healthy and affordable insulation, while being a neighbor of integrity in our communities." It is noteworthy that RetroFoam is totally eco-friendly. Eric Hallee, Vice President of Chase Customs Homes points out, "RetroFoam doesn't produce vapors, and installers do not need protective gear."
Customers speak highly of Home Snuggers. Exclaimed Deborah King of Cape Elizabeth on one cold, sunny morning as she walked into the office: "It is so hot in here, you have to turn the heat down. Apparently the RetroFoam is working. The heat wasn't even on!"
Efficiency Maine's Home Energy Savings Program will likely be funded through June 30, 2015. Homeowners should take advantage of this incentive of up to $1,500 for upgrading their house while also cutting their home heating bills.

It's like family at Just for Women Gynecology
The doctors at Just for Women Gynecology, well known in the southern Maine area, especially Springvale and Sanford and, recently opened a new practice at 462 Main St., Suite 1 in Springvale, near Rite Aid and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Dr. Cathy Miele and Dr. Kathleen Morris each have more than 25 years experience in in their field and not only offer medical expertise, but a commitment to their patients that is unparalleled.
When Goodall Hospital merged with Southern Maine Medical Center, the doctors opted to open their own practice for the convenience of their patients.
Their new location is central to those clients who don't have vehicles, is wheelchair accessible and offers plenty of parking.
"Most of our patients followed us," Dr. Morris said, adding that even patients from New Hampshire, Canada and as far as Jamaica have followed them to the new practice.
The doctors, however, think some patients may not know about the new practice and its location.
"Our last day with the former outfit was Dec. 31 and our first day in the new practice was Jan. 1," Dr. Morris said. There wasn't much time to get the word out.
Those who have visited the new office are very pleased with its accommodations and have been happy to learn that the doctors are still able to help them with their gynecological needs such as pap smears, treatment for infections, contraceptives, birth control management, treatment for heavy periods such as ablation with D&Cs and more.
What's better is that Dr. Miele and Dr. Morris have more availability than before and are flexible with their schedules, even taking patients earlier than typical office hours and after work hours.
"We're very happy to offer easier access," Dr. Miele said, adding that they also offers a portal system where patients can access records, lab results and request appointments easily online, or via telephone outside of office hours, always reaching one of the doctors in person.
Just for Women Gynecology accepts all the same insurances that were taken before and the three medical assistants who worked with Dr. Miele and Dr. Morris before came with them to the new practice.
"The staff is really good and very experienced with woman's health – not to mention how friendly they are,"Dr. Miele said, adding that she even delivered the practice's receptionist.
"We keep it local and we're like family," she said, adding that Dr. Morris grew up right in Biddeford and graduated from Biddeford High School.
The doctors treat girls and women of all ages; they also treat college aged women who are home for the summer.
Both doctors have taken on work with the new practice that includes payroll, book keeping and even housekeeping.
"We wear many hats," Dr. Miele said.
They're fine with that, though, as both are down to earth and as their most recent advertisement shows, like to have a good laugh. To make an appointment at Just for Women Gynecology, call 206-7270. To learn more about the practice, visit www.justforwomengynecology.com.

Naming and Directory Concepts,JaVa - is not MaVa
Java Naming and Directory Services
A Naming Service provides a mechanism for giving names to objects so you can retrieve and use those objects without knowing the location of the object. Objects can be located on any machine accessible from your network, not necessarily the local workstation.
A real-world example is a phone directory. It stores telephone numbers against names and addresses. To find people's phone numbers is simply a matter of using their name (and possibly address) to identify an entry in the phone book and obtaining the stored phone number. There are a few complications, such as finding the right phone book to look in, but it is essentially a simple process.
Incidentally, naming services have a similar problem to that of finding the right phone book. This is known as obtaining a context. A name can only be found if you examine the right context (phone book).
A Directory Service also associates names with objects but provides additional information by associating attributes with the objects.
The yellow pages phone directory is a simple form of a directory service. Here, businesses often include advertisements with additional information such as a list of products sold, professional qualifications, affiliated organizations, and even maps to their premises. These attributes add value to the name entry. A directory service will normally provide the ability to find entries that have particular attributes or values for attributes.
Yellow page style phone books also store names under categories—for example, hairdressers or lawyers. Categorizing entries can simplify searching for a particular type of entry. These categorized entries are a form of sub-context within the directory context of the local phone book.
Why Use Naming And Directory Services?
Naming Services provide an vital mechanism for de-coupling the provider of a service from the consumer of the service. Naming services allow a supplier of a service to register their service against a name. Users, or clients, of the service need only know the name of the service to use it.
Think of the phone book once more, and how difficult it would be to find someone's phone number without it. Obtaining your friend's phone number would mean going to their home and asking, or waiting until you meet up with them again—which may be difficult to organize because you can't phone them to arrange the meeting.
It is very difficult to imagine a world without naming services.
What is JNDI and why we NEEDED it?
When you build an application, chances are you have to depend on some other resources built by somebody else. There is a directory or naming service that maps or bind name to such resources so that you can use the name and get the resource into your application. Such resources could be an object or simply just location to object. Such services are important because it provides way to expose the those resources to be used and reused. For instance:
DNS (Domain Name System):
It maps people-friendly names (such as www.google.com) into computer-friendly IP addresses in dotted-quad notation (192.168.0.1).
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
It provides access to hierarchical structural information about users, networks or systems over IP network through url and other attributes names.(e.g cn=Martin Bond, ou=Authors, o=SAMS, c=us).
NIS (Network Information System)
It provides access to file and application resources through ID and password.
So, the common thing is they all are naming systems that binds the name to the object of our interest. Those objects or resources may or may not be on the same host and just be reference to object. No mater where they are naming service provide the lookup service to find such object by name.
The difference is the naming convention each of those naming services has undertaken. For instance:
- DNS uses the dot notation to construct the full domain name. (www.google.com)
- LDAP uses comma to separate the components while uses key/value pair to distinguish each components. ('cn=Rupesh Bho, o=ComPlus, c=US') .
With such differences, it would be nightmare for the application developers if they have to spend writing code to bring various naming servers every time they work on the application. This is where JNDI comes into play.
JNDI is a API which provides the uniform standard to access any naming or directory services into your application. Remember JNDI is just interface, not implementation.
JNDI architecture consists of API and Service Provider Interface(SPI). Java application use the JNDI API to access a variety of naming and directory services. The SPI enables a variety of naming and directory services to be plugged in transparently, thereby allowing the Java application using JNDI API to access their services.
JNDI is included in Java SE. To use JNDI, you must have the JNDI classes and one or more service providers. Some service providers like LDAP, RMI and DNS are included with the JDK, other you can find from other vendors.
Context and InitialContext:
The Context interface plays a central role in JNDI. A context represents a set of bindings within a naming service that all share the same naming convention. A Context object provides the methods for binding names to objects and unbinding names from objects, for renaming objects, and for listing the bindings.
JNDI performs all naming operations relative to a context. To assist in finding a place to start, the JNDI specification defines an InitialContext class. This class is instantiated with properties that define the type of naming service in use and, for naming services that provide security, the ID and password to use when connecting.
Let's take a look at Context's methods:
- void bind(String stringName, Object object): Binds a name to an object. The name must not be bound to another object. All intermediate contexts must already exist.
- void rebind(String stringName, Object object): Binds a name to an object. All intermediate contexts must already exist.
- Object lookup(String stringName): Returns the specified object.
- void unbind(String stringName): Unbinds the specified object.

Narcissism is actually an disposition that is a completely gentle style of the Narcissistic Temperament Condition plus it entails conceitedness, personal centeredness, deviousness and high self confidence. Folks who are overwhelmed by Narcissistic Temperament Issue may not be make sure you as self at ease inside as they quite simply may look of the eyeball.useful reference That's the matter yet. The conceited outlook of a particular person can be concealing a deep a sense insecurity as well as a incredibly breakable sense of valued at.
The Narcissistic Nature ailment (NPD) is a result of some criteria which involve a vast combine to genes, your family and public prior experience especially through the entire sooner component of an individual's reality, together with the person's personality and disposition. Parts of Narcissistic nature affliction or put simply the factors that should be located in people for him/her turn out to be told you have this disease, are plentiful and some of them are defined from the applying a couple of sentences. The individual effectively comes after the concept of exaggerating his/her triumphs, everyday lives in limitless fantasies of potency and prosperity, claims that he or she/she actually is unique, takes eternal compliment, and carries unfounded expectancy of special attention from other individuals. Besides the supplied components, a person who has problems with NPD also secures an exploitive approach in the direction of those people about, has no empathy for anyone otherwise, harbors envy against other people and carry on of all screens conceited practices.
A study written and published throughout the Log of Scientific Psychiatry put declare that 7.7 percentage people though 4.8 percentage women of all ages suffer from NPD during their everyday life. The % climbs even superior when analyzing both males and females whom are african american, Hispanic women of all ages, adolescents, and people who typically are not in any relationship. (Nordqvist 2014) The likelihood of frequency of NPD in individuals also variations utilizing their your age. An investigation undertaken in the year 2008 along the Nationwide Company representative examples of US locals directed to review the pervasiveness of NPD in a life-time. The research was profitable in concluding that folks who are inside of their 20s are 3 times quite likely going to working experience NPD in their activities from those who crossed 60 years old. This ultimately suggests the happening and conditions of Narcissism and NPD happen to be growing with the modern day ages. Because of this, the young children of today are seen come to be far less empathetic to other's a feeling, have higher up goals and objectives that happens to be concentrated on power, fame and funds and so are encountered to posses higher a sense of selves. The key reason why can somewhat fruitfully be caused by the societal norms and goals that many of us in the present day are generally currently in.
With all the discussion posts all about the how, what and why out of the way, let us make an attempt to explain how Narcissistic Charm Ailment might well have harmful effects for the individual who suffers thru it. The problem is because the illness has high-risk of chemical abuse and aside from that the individuals with NPD also frequently get depressed, battle at relationships and endure suicidal feelings and tendencies. These folks also cope with even more than their share of worries in the workplace and moreover in upholding partnerships. Also, guys who go although NPD normally answer back further to fatigue and are often rather quite likely to create cardiovascular system disruptions.
NPD therefore is an issue which can be really being noticed an increasing number of with moving time as well as would likely be the reason for any rising clinical depression and anxiousness that we encounter within our everyday lives. There is absolutely no debate through the truth that endeavours must get through this concern but also the enquiries that continue being are these; does our daily life needs to be customised or will we demand alteration in the way in which we look like having to pay far more than the necessary awareness to the dwells of many others? Additional investigation will most likely be significant before you start we now emerge as capable quite enough to provide techniques to the whole set of aforesaid issues. But let us not discontinue trying.

Imagine a chemical peel without days of flaking skin? Yes, it sounds like a miracle but our No Peel Peel defies many assumptions related to chemical peels.
The chemical peel you may be familiar with probably requires some downtime, includes skin flaking and irritation. While these side effects result from intense chemical peels, they DO NOT occur with our No Peel Peel. Our unique formula delivers results similar to an intense peel, without the downtime or side effects. Genius.
Let's talk about what a chemical peel is and how it works. Peels use a chemical solution, like glycolic acid, to deeply exfoliate your skin in order to regenerate skin cells. It is a key component to my Youth Corridor Anti-Aging Treatment Plan and helps to improve acne scars, skin tone and texture, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the effects of sun damage.
The No Peel Peel is ideal for anyone looking to boost skin's appearance or jump start their skincare routine. It also complements other professional skin rejuvenating treatments like IPL, is great for my surgical patients to consider for maintenance, and can enhance the benefits of at-home products.
Remember, I am here to be your guide helping you achieve results, similar to a fitness trainer, and getting there may not always be pleasurable.
While this treatment should not hurt, you can expect to experience a slight tingling which is the activity of the peel. The peel is left on skin for 5-10 minutes and our esthetician will be with you every step of the way to ensure skin is responding properly. Once the treatment is complete, our esthetician will apply SPF for protection. If you choose, you can apply makeup post-treatment.
I recommend my patients receive a No Peel Peel once a month consistently for three months.
Interested in the Youth Corridor Clinic No Peel Peel? Email or call, 646-449-8000 to schedule your appointment at The Clinic today.
Again, it is important to consult a medical expert about your treatment options to ensure they are right for you.

The Verdict: Italy finishes 3rd in Confeds Cup (2-1)
Cesar Prandelli shall enter Salvador with high hopes that Gli Azurri will finish third in the 2013 Confederations. And why not? The squad forced the Spaniards into a 120-minute match that ended in a 7-6 penalty score in favor of La Roja.
Although it could have secured a spot in the final, what is more important to Prandelli is his team's ability to "compete with the best," and this explains why the Italians have higher winning possibilities than Uruguay.
Prandelli is expected to use the 3-4-2-1 formation, which pressed the Spaniards, but opened plenty of opportunities for them. Italy might take advantage of it to stop unprecedented attacks from Forlan and Cavani. The formation's weakness, however, is the absence of a powerful striker to complete a strong finish.
With this regard, Alberto Gilardino must step up his game. The latter was Prandelli's choice to substitute for Mario Balotelli when he was injured during the encounter against Brazil. Gilardino has the experience, knowing that he once held the trophy for Italy in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Yet, in the event where he fails to rise in the occasion, Prandelli will still have Sebastian Giovinco and of course, Stephan El Shaarawy to secure the goals for them.
Other than Gianluigi Buffon is another veteran that Gli Azurri brings during the Uruguay encounter. With a World Cup title and experience to boot, he is definitely, one of the best goal keepers to depend on, most especially during penalties and free kicks. However, Prandelli might have second doubts on whether Bonucci should take a shot again.
There is no question why Italy is the heavy favorite in the match. The squad put up a great show against Spain that exemplifies not only its potential to grab Confederations Cup title, but also another World Cup trophy.
