I have to make a program that asks the user for a list of names, and then displays the number of names asked and the longest name in capital letters.
So far, this is what I have:
With that code, the working things are that it stops when stop is entered, and it displays the number of names entered. However, I can not figure out how to get it to display the longest name. I know I have some stuff in there that doesn't need to be there. Any help is appreciated.public class Names{ public static void main(String[] args) { String phrase,name,name1,longest; int namelength,name1length; int c=0; Scanner stuff = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter a first name(stop to quit):"); name=stuff.nextLine(); namelength=name.length(); c=c+1; longest=name; System.out.print("Enter a first name(stop to quit):"); name1=stuff.nextLine(); name1length=name1.length(); c=c+1; while (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("stop")){ if (name1length>namelength){ longest=name1; } if (namelength>name1length){ longest=name; } System.out.print("Enter a first name(stop to quit):"); name=stuff.nextLine(); c=c+1; namelength=name1.length(); } System.out.println(""+c+" names were entered."); System.out.println("The longest name was: "+longest+""); } }

In Victorian London, even in a place as louche and notoriously crime-ridden as Lambeth Marsh, the sound of gunshots was a rare event indeed. The marsh was a sinister place, a jumble of slums and sin that crouched, dark and ogrelike, on the bank of the Thames just across from Westminster; few respectable Londoners would ever admit to venturing there. It was a robustly violent part of town as well—the footpad lurked in Lambeth, there had once been an outbreak of garroting, and in every crowded alley were the roughest kinds of pickpocket. Fagin, Bill Sikes, and Oliver Twist would have all seemed quite at home in Victorian Lambeth: This was Dickensian London writ large.
But it was not a place for men with guns. The armed criminal was a phenomenon little known in the Lambeth of Prime Minister Gladstone's day, and even less known in the entire metropolitan vastness of London. Guns were costly, cumbersome, difficult to use, hard to conceal. Then, as still today, the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime was thought of as somehow a very un-British act—and as something to be written about and recorded as a rarity. "Happily," proclaimed a smug editorial in Lambeth's weekly newspaper, "we in this country have no experience of the crime of 'shooting down,' so common in the United States."
So when a brief fusillade of three revolver shots rang out shortly after two o'clock on the moonlit Saturday morning of February 17, 1872, the sound was unimagined, unprecedented, and shocking. The three cracks—perhaps there were four—were loud, very loud, and they echoed through the cold and smokily damp night air. They were heard—and, considering their rarity, just by chance instantly recognized—by a keen young police constable named Henry Tarrant, then attached to the Southwark Constabulary's L Division.
The clocks had only recently struck two, his notes said later; he was performing with routine languor the duties of the graveyard shift, walking slowly beneath the viaduct arches beside Waterloo Railway Station, rattling the locks of the shops and cursing the bone-numbing chill.
When he heard the shots, Tarrant blew his whistle to alert any colleagues who (he hoped) might be on patrol nearby, and he began to run. Within seconds he had raced through the warren of mean and slippery lanes that made up what in those days was still called a village, and had emerged into the wide riverside swath of Belvedere Road, from whence he was certain the sounds had come.
Another policeman, Henry Burton, who had heard the piercing whistle, as had a third, William Ward, rushed to the scene. According to Burton's notes, he dashed toward the echoing sound and came across his colleague Tarrant, who was by then holding a man, as if arresting him. "Quick!" cried Tarrant. "Go to the road—a man has been shot!" Burton and Ward raced toward Belvedere Road and within seconds found the unmoving body of a dying man. They fell to their knees, and onlookers noted they had cast off their helmets and gloves and were hunched over the victim.
There was blood gushing onto the pavement—blood staining a spot that would for many months afterward be described in London's more dramatically minded papers as the location of A HEINOUS CRIME, A TERRIBLE EVENT, AN ATROCIOUS OCCURRENCE, A VILE MURDER.
The Lambeth Tragedy, the papers eventually settled upon calling it—as if the simple existence of Lambeth itself were not something of a tragedy. Yet this was a most unusual event, even by the diminished standards of the marsh dwellers. For though the place where the killing occurred had over the years been witness to many strange events, the kind eagerly chronicled in the penny dreadfuls, this particular drama was to trigger a chain of consequences that was quite without precedent. And while some aspects of this crime and its aftermath would turn out to be sad and barely believable, not all of them, as this account will show, were to be wholly tragic. Far from it, indeed.
Even today Lambeth is a singularly unlovely part of the British capital, jammed anonymously between the great fan of roads and railway lines that take commuters in and out of the city center from the southern counties. These days the Royal Festival Hall and the South Bank Centre stand there, built on the site of the 1951 fairgrounds where an entertainment was staged to help cheer up the rationed and threadbare Londoners. Otherwise it is an unlovely, characterless sort of place—rows of prisonlike buildings that house lesser government ministries, the headquarters of an oil company around which winter winds whip bitterly, a few unmemorable pubs and newspaper shops, and the lowering presence of Waterloo Station—lately expanded with the terminal for the Channel Tunnel express trains—which exerts its dull magnetic pull over the neighborhood.
The railway chiefs of old never bothered to build a grand station hotel at Waterloo—though they did build monster structures of great luxury at the other London stations, like Victoria and Paddington, and even St. Pancras and King's Cross. Lambeth has long been one of the nastier parts of London; until very recently, with the further development of the Festival Hall site, no one of any style and consequence has ever wanted to linger there, neither a passenger back in the days of the Victorian boat trains, nor anyone for any reason at all today. It is slowly improving; but its reputation dogs it.
A hundred years ago it was positively vile. It was still then low, marshy, and undrained, a swampy gyre of pathways where a sad little stream called the Neckinger seeped into the Thames. The land was jointly owned by the archbishop of Canterbury and the duke of Cornwall, landlords who, rich enough in their own right, never bothered to develop it in the manner of the great...The Professor and the Madman

Buhler announced at a dealer event in early November that it is dropping the Buhler name on all its tractors and keeping the Versatile brand instead. Adam Reid, advertising manager, talks about the reaction from dealers. "A lot of these dealers never considered themselves to be anything but Versatile dealers…. Some have been dealers since 1966."
During the event, the company also introduced two new FWA tractor models, 250 and 280, with new Cummins engines. Eric Allison, director of sales, discusses the company's strategy for the row-crop tractor market.

With its eye-catching black and white finish, the SD-P73S looks as pretty as a picture. It uses the traditional flip-top design, with a 7in, 16:9 screen set into the top section.
It doesn't swivel like some of the other Toshiba models so shared viewing isn't easy, although there are two headphone sockets specifically for that purpose.
The supplied battery clips onto the bottom, but even when it's attached the unit is remarkably slim and compact. Build quality is excellent, too, although it could have done with a rubberised finish.
Battery life is a decent five hours – that's at least three rom-coms – and there's a cigarette power adaptor for in-car viewing. Also in the box is a credit card-sized remote, which is inevitably fiddly and requires the shift key for some functions, but it's tolerable enough.
As per many portables at this size the resolution is 480 x 234 pixels, so when playing back 720 x 576 DVDs there's an inevitable pixel shortfall. This manifests itself in a visible chicken wire effect and lack of fine detail.
But to be honest, when watching DVDs on the train it's not a major problem – of greater importance are the vibrant colours, solid blacks and lack of noise, which make pictures rich and punchy.
Sound from the speakers is okay for dialogue-rich movies, but loud scenes are tinny, so invest in some good headphones.

Comment about the website : The ease of use of the website was the initial reason why I went with HELYS. The English websites were useless.
About the sample kit : Very easy to understand instructions, with an easy way of returning the sample.
About the tracking process : I used it once and it seemed easy enough to track.
About the delay : Great turnaround of the product. The correspondence from you guys (Yannick and Alain) was first class, with quick responses to emails and excellent professionalism. You guaranteed a delivery time and then delivered on it.
About the packaging : I was told to check the product in front of the postman when it was delivered. When I started opening it the postman commented, "there is no way that whatever is inside this parcel has been damaged in transit. That is one of the best wrapped parcels I've ever delivered." He was right of course!
About the picture : The picture looks fantastic with the aluminium finish. Quality!

What you need to know before 'Obamacare' launches
For many Illinois residents, it's time to take a deep breath and get ready to shop for health insurance. President Barack Obama's health care law requires nearly every American to have insurance starting in 2014. To make shopping for coverage easier, a new online marketplace is set to open Oct. 1.
The build-up to next week's launch in Illinois has been fraught with uncertainty as federal and state officials keep tight control of information. They haven't revealed the prices of the insurance plans to be offered on the new marketplace, perhaps to avoid tipping off insurance carriers who are opting not to participate this time.
Consumers still don't know which companies will offer health coverage and whether the insurance policies will offer a wide or narrow choice of hospitals and doctors. Outreach workers who will help people navigate the new marketplace are still wrapping up their training.
The pricing information may be made public before Oct. 1 and there may be some announcement of an Illinois website that will be the first stop for consumers. For now, that's still a mystery along with the $35 million ad campaign that Illinois has commissioned to promote the marketplace.
Though signed into law by Obama in March 2010, the controversy over the law has not abated. In Washington, House Republicans passed a stopgap funding bill that would shut down the government unless funding is stripped from the health law they call "Obamacare" and consider big government. Senate Democratic leaders have vowed to protect the law, but it's likely the headlines are adding to consumer confusion.
Much work is left to demystify the Affordable Care Act and how it will affect Illinois residents. Here is some of what you need to know:
Q. What's the big deal about Oct. 1?
A. It's the first day of the open enrollment period for new health insurance options under the health law. Consumers have until Dec. 15 to sign up if they want coverage to start Jan. 1. After that, you can still enroll through the end of March to avoid penalties for 2014. The law requires almost everyone to have health insurance. Fines start as low as $95 the first year but go up after that.
Oct. 1 is the first day people can start shopping for health insurance on a new marketplace where they can get financial help with the cost. To get started, go to healthcare.gov.
Q. How many people are uninsured in Illinois?
A. About 1.8 million Illinois residents are uninsured, about 15 percent of the population.
Q. Who should shop for health insurance on the new online marketplace?
A. The marketplace is meant for people who can't afford health insurance right now and for people who want to comparison shop for insurance. The website will tell you whether you qualify for new federal tax credits to help pay the cost of coverage. It also will tell you whether you're eligible for free care through Medicaid or if your children are eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Q. Who is left out?
A. About 281,000 people in Illinois who are in the United States illegally aren't eligible for help under the new health law.
Q. If I already have affordable health insurance through my job, why should I care?
A. If more people get insurance, fewer medical costs will be shifted onto people with good health insurance by hospitals and other providers that end up providing free care to the uninsured.
Q. Will insurance coverage cost more or less than what's available today?
A. That's hard to say because Illinois hasn't published the prices yet. We do know that the law requires certain benefits, so health plans will be more comprehensive and probably more expensive than the ones some people buy currently. But the tax credits will help bring down costs for most low- and middle-income people. People who have pre-existing medical conditions won't have to pay higher premiums than healthy people. Insurers will be prohibited from charging women higher prices.
Q. Do I have to buy health insurance on the new marketplace?
A. About half of Illinois residents already have coverage through their jobs and their employers pay a portion of their premiums. They don't have to buy new insurance. In fact, if your insurance is affordable and meets certain federal criteria, you won't qualify for tax credits on the marketplace.
People already insured under Medicare or Medicaid don't have to do anything new. Veterans who are enrolled in Veterans Affairs health care don't have to buy additional insurance. U.S. citizens living abroad aren't required to get coverage.
Q. Where can I get information and help?
A. County health departments, community health centers and libraries can answer questions and help you get started. Many community organizations have trained outreach counselors who can walk you through the enrollment process. Insurance agents and brokers also can help.
The federal government has a call center taking questions at 1-800-318-2596.

At times it is useful to see the output of what a program produces by typing its command line name in the terminal (for instance for debugging). At other times typing a program in the terminal just hogs the prompt that could ordinarily be utilized for something else. Launching programs from the terminal can be put in the background easily and I've created a bash script to help out.
nohup is used to prevent hangups and then you redirect some the output of the command to
/dev/null (the great Linux black hole). Here's the script:
#!/usr/bin/bash # Open a command in the terminal in the background. # Add 'complete -cf bgcmd' to ~/.bashrc for command completion nohup "$@" &> /dev/null &
Then in the terminal use the bgcmd command with whatever program needed to be put in the background:
bgcmd gedit ~/Documents/recipes.markdown
Backgrounding an already running process
Already running applications can be backgrounded as well. First type Ctrl + z to release the application, then use
bg to background it's output.
Keep in mind that if the terminal or tab is closed the program will close with it; also too the
bg command doesn't suppress all output.

In the dead of winter we hope for summer, in the summer heat and humidity we long for snow, but fall is perfect and everyone just wishes it would linger. To fully experience the beauty of fall, load up and meander along the Spoon River Drive. Check out the food, festivals and cultural icons and, of course, the bargains! You will find antiques, flea market items and unforgettable food.
Located in Fulton County, about an hour northwest of Springfield, the Spoon River Drive happens the first two weekends in October, on Oct. 1-2, 8-9. The drive is a self-guided motor tour covering 140 miles. The Spoon River flows from London Mills and joins the Illinois River near the southeastern corner of Fulton County. The Spoon River became nationally known from the work of Edgar Lee Masters, author of the Spoon River Anthology.
This is the 44th annual drive and a program book provides details of sites to visit. The history of this area includes early settlements and a World War II prisoner of war camp. There is so much to see, this could easily be a two-weekend trip. Planning ahead will allow time to see items on the "to do" list. Be sure to add in time for shopping and dining pleasures along the way.
London Mills is a favorite stop. There visitors find old mill wheels on display in Riverside Park, reminding visitors when milling was a major activity along the Spoon River. The restored Ross Hotel, typical of many rural hotels operated in rural America in the early 1900s, is open during the drive.
Don't want to drive all the way to New York to see the Statue of Liberty? In London Mills you may view a replica of the Statue of Liberty in Riverside Park's southeast corner. The statue was built as a tribute to the Boy Scouts of America, which operates a camp nearby.
Avon, famous for railroads that were once the hub of the area, was settled in 1835. The Northern Cross Railroad, Fulton County's first railway, eventually merged with the C B & Q, which is now part of the BNSF rail system. Rail history buffs won't want to miss the Railroad Museum located at AVCOM Park.
Historic Canton bleeds Farmall red. Canton was once home to a large International Harvester plant, which had originally been the Orendorff Plow Works. Although not open to the public, the Orendorff Mansion in Canton is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Art fans won't want to miss the Welch Art Studio and Museum in Lewistown. The studio and museum is located in the old telephone building which originally had been a bank. Lewistown is also home of the Red Brick School that is a hub of activity for crafts, antiques and a superb meal. The Red Brick School is where famous wildlife carver Bill Swango has his studio.
Those seeking a closeup view of the river should include Bernadotte in their trek. That's where they'll find the only dam on Spoon River, along with the iron bridge which was constructed in 1915.
The WWII Prisoner of War camp was located in this area. The Spoon River website (www.spoonriverdrive.org) states, "Bernadotte was taken in as part of the World War II Camp Ellis Army Camp. Camp construction permanently altered the surrounding terrain which originally included seven hills. The dam at Bernadotte was constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers during the Camp Ellis days. Lewistown is the county seat of Fulton County. It was founded in 1821 by the Ross family. The Major Newton Walker home, which once hosted Abraham Lincoln, still stands on North Main Street.
"Lewistown was the home of Edgar Lee Masters through his younger years and the atmosphere of Lewistown undoubtedly had an inspirational effect upon Masters that led to the Spoon River Anthology being written by Masters. Lewistown has a rich history associated with railroading in Fulton County. Restoration has commenced and continues on both the old Fulton County Narrow Gauge Railroad Station and the Cedar Street Station which served Lewistown for many years. The restoration and continuing operation of the Rasmussen Blacksmith Shop Museum is a major attraction for tourists in Lewistown."
During the drive, Lewistown hosts Spoon River Anthology readings. Check out the map to see just where you wish to stop, then plan accordingly. Keep the upcoming holidays in mind while shopping and enjoy all the beauty that fall and Fulton County have to offer. For more information go to the website, www.spoonriverdrive.org, or write to the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive, P.O. Box 525, Canton, Ill., 61520 or call 309-647-898 for more details. You may also email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fighting Conspiracy Theories Using Social Values
We used Environics' Social Values research to shed some light on the underlying beliefs and attitudes associated with belief in conspiracy theories.
Environics co-founder, award winning author, and recent Order of Canada recipient, Michael Adams has released his newest book, Could it Happen Here? Canada in the Age of Trump and Brexit. This newest work draws on ground-breaking new social research to show whether Canadian society is at risk of the populist forces afflicting other parts of the world.
Americans elected Donald Trump. Britons opted to leave the European Union. Far-right, populist politicians channeling anger at out-of-touch "elites" are gaining ground across Europe. In vote after shocking vote, citizens of Western democracies have pushed their anger to the top of their governments' political agendas. The votes have varied in their particulars, but their unifying feature has been rejection of moderation, incrementalism, and the status quo.
Amid this roiling international scene, Canada appears placid, at least on the surface. As other societies retrench, the international media have taken notice of Canada's welcome of Syrian refugees, its half-female federal cabinet, and its acceptance of climate science and mixed efforts to limit its emissions. After a year in power, the centrist federal government continues to enjoy majority approval, suggesting an electorate not as bitterly split as the ones to the south or in Europe.
As sceptics point out, however, Brexit and a Trump presidency were unthinkable until they happened. Could it be that Canada is not immune to the same forces of populism, social fracture, and backlash that have afflicted other parts of the world? Our largest and most cosmopolitan city elected Rob Ford. Conservative Party leadership hopeful Kellie Leitch proposes a Canadian values test for immigrants and has called the Trump victory "exciting." Anti-tax demonstrators in Alberta chanted "lock her up" in reference to Premier Rachel Notley, an elected leader accused of no wrongdoing, only policy positions the protesters disliked.
Pollster and social values researcher Michael Adams takes Canadians into the examining room to see whether we are at risk of coming down with the malaise affecting other Western democracies. Drawing on major social values surveys of Canadians and Americans in 2016—as well as decades of tracking data in both countries—Adams examines our economy, institutions, and demographics to answer the question: could it happen here?

On this Friday afternoon, I give you…. Thoughts of spring and summer — they will come, one way or another.
On my mind: Butter London's Spring 2012 nail colors. I could do with a happy shot of one of those (I'm thinking Disco Biscuit, that fab hot pink.)
And this adorable swimsuit — a bikini, no less! — from Shabby Apple. It's only $26.
You're welcome.
Last: a quote I've found enormously helpful lately. And I'm not really a quote-y type. I came across it while working on a freelance editorial project recently for Parenting.com:
"There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one." — Jill Churchill
As my friend Amy says, RIGHT ON.
Happy weekend, mamas.

Reading: I feel like I've been running around like crazy lately that I haven't had a moment to read. I always feel a little off balance whenever I don't spend some time at night winding down with books, and this week I've been trying to find time to do that. I am not in the middle of anything right now, but my sister insists that I finally give Gone Girl a try. So that's at the top of my list, along with this non-fiction book about an explorer's adventures through the Amazon. It sounds so fascinating! Thank you to Emma for sharing the link.
Thinking about: I feel like I'm just coming out of this weird haze that I didn't even know I was in. I don't get the baby blues, but I do think my hormones have been a little funky once Charlie started to eat a little less due to introducing "real food" and it feels good to feel back to myself. I also think the sunshine and warm weather has really been given me a boost and lately I've been feeling extra happy and just excited to be outside. We've been either walking or running every day thanks to this fantastic thing bought on super sale and I'm grateful to have it. It makes getting up and just going so easy. I just feel very spring and it makes me think about this whole idea of renewal and forgiveness and how in this exact place I am in right now, I feel happier than I have ever been. And on a side note I also woke up this morning thinking about how funny it is, that my baby can not sleep through the night for weeks and the one night I go to sleep insanely late and way past midnight figuring he'll be waking up soon anyway, he DOES. My one chance to finally get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep and I miss it! So sad. I'm planning on going to bed extra early tonight in the hopes of it happening again, but if the world continues to work the way it always has I'm sure he'll be waking up at least once. I'll keep you posted. ;)
Listening: I've been on a total Gaslight Anthem kick lately, and it helps that Henry really likes them too. We've been listening to the Sink or Swim album on the way to school in the morning and it's so cute to watch him sing along. I'm curious to see what kind of music he gravitates toward as he gets older. Right now though his main interest is the song "Life is a Highway" from the Cars soundtrack. He LOVES it.
Watching: pregnancy announcements pop up in Facebook and Instagram on what feels like a daily basis! I felt like it was equally as crazy when I was pregnant with Charlie too- it seemed like someone was posting a clever little "we're pregnant!" every day. It's been so fun to watch some of the girls I've known forever be pregnant for the first time, and come this summer there are going to be a million adorable babies popping out all over the country! Weird mental picture, I know. As far as shows- Scandal, Parenthood (did it get renewed? please say yes!), and all those crazy Real Housewives.
Trying: At the recommendation of my dear friend Amy (and seeing it all over my pal Lauren's IG feed), I decided to try out some Blogilates videos. WOW! So good. Have you tried them? I'm really loving how quick they are- and how hard too- because on days I don't have time to make it to the gym I can squeeze them in during naptime and I feel like they're incredibly effective. I downloaded her app and I enjoy having a list of videos to do each day, and being able to check them off one by one. Some are 5 minutes, some are 10-12, but it goes by very fast! I highly recommend checking her out.
Loving: so so much. Spring weather, our birthday/anniversary month next month, all of Charlie's milestones (he's such a fast crawler now!), family time, apples and peanut butter, kale salad from Costc, making summer plans, the excitement about this upcoming weekend and having Nate, Shirley and Carson here, making ridiculous workout playlists on Spotify, morning walks, and finishing up some around the house projects.
So, how about you? What are you up to today? Feel free to do your own "currently" post on your blog and link back in the comments for everyone to check out. And thanks again to my dear friend Megan for providing the original inspiration for these posts.

UCF got 127 yards rushing from Storm Johnson and its defense made a game-saving stand in the final seconds to beat Houston, 19-14, and grab the inside track for the American Athletic Conference title.
The Knights improved to 7-1 and 4-0 in conference and edged closer to its first BCS bowl game. Houston fell to 7-2 and 4-1.
UCF featured a balanced attack, getting 210 passing yards from quarterback Blake Bortles and 188 rushing yards thanks to Johnson and his backup, freshman William Stanback, who had 74 yards and two key TDs on nine carries.
The Knights held a 6-0 lead at the half courtesy of two Shawn Moffitt field goals, but Houston came back to take the lead in the third quarter on a 24-yard touchdown run by quarterback John O'Korn, who also threw for 231 yards and a touchdown on 24 of 46 passing.
Down 7-6, UCF stormed back with a 10-play, 75-yard drive that was aided by a personal foul penalty on Houston before Stanback scored from 15 yards out. The Knights led 13-7 as the fourth quarter dawned, but were pinned down at their own 2-yard line when they got the ball back. No matter — UCF went 98 yards in seven plays, with Stanback going in from 38 yards this time to put his team up, 19-7 (a two-point conversion pass attempt by Bortles failed).
That's when Houston stormed back. After O'Korn's pass was intercepted on the ensuing drive, the Knights drove to the Houston 33 and attempted a 50-yard field goal. But it was blocked! O'Korn then drove the Cougars 53 yards in eight plays, culminating in a 12-yard touchdown pass to Wayne Beadle. Suddenly, it was 19-14. The Knights got the ball back with a little over four minutes to play.
Houston's defense forced a three-and-out and UCF punted the ball away to the Cougar 38-yard line. O'Korn found Kenneth Farrow on completions of six and 22 yards and then hit Deonte Greenberry on a clutch 14-yard pass on third and 10 to set the Cougars up at the UCF 20-yard line. Two rushes produced a first and goal at the 10 and Houston had four plays to get it into the end zone. But the Knights defense stiffened when it mattered and O'Korn's fourth-down pass sailed over the end line and that was the ball game.
UCF has now beaten Louisville and Houston, which should leave a clear path to the league title. Games against Temple, Rutgers, South Florida and SMU remain, but the Knights would have to lose twice to not get it done and make it to a BCS bowl.
