.oh maggie.
Maggie's spirits are much improved since her arrival at the shelter. As a matter of fact she's kind of bonkers (in the best way.) The sign on her kennel says, "Don't be fooled by my sweet face, I MUST be hand walked in the yard or I will jump the fence."
It's a six foot privacy fence.
On Thursday as I was taking Maggie for a walk one of the staff said, "Oooh... it's gonna be a fun challenge finding a good home for you, little girl."
and another said, "You're crazy." I asked if he was talking to me or Maggie. He said me for taking the wild woman outside. We ran around in lots of circles in the field across from the shelter and had a blast.

Product Description
From the Inside Flap
About This Book
This book is about developing Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications with the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). There are a number of books describing the J2EE platform and its associated technologies. There are also books about software development processes and about RUP, in particular. However, we could not find a book that described and exemplified how to use a subset of RUP that contains only the most relevant parts of an otherwise large and comprehensive process, to build J2EE applications. The book bridges this gap between the RUP and J2EE technologies.
A world that combines J2EE, RUP and UML is complex. This world requires a good map if you are to successfully navigate your way through it. This book provides such a map both metaphorically and literally. It is metaphorical because the very objective of the book is to provide a description of a "safe path" through the J2EE application development activities. It is also literal because we define a "J2EE Developer Roadmap," which is a process map, to guide us. We describe the content of the book in more detail in Chapter 1, Introduction.Who This Book Is For
While writing the book we kept three audiences in mind. The first audience is software architects, designers and developers familiar with the J2EE platform and its technologies, wanting to understand how to apply them in the context of a software development process. The second audience is development team members familiar with RUP, looking for help in applying the process to J2EE development. The third audience is software professionals who are neither familiar with J2EE nor with RUP, and are looking for an example of how to use RUP in the development of a J2EE application.Conventions Used in This Book
The book is roughly divided into two parts. The first part, Chapters 2–5, summarizes the J2EE technologies, introduces RUP and the J2EE Developer Roadmap, and briefly describes our sample application. The rest of the book is what we refer to as the "process chapters" and contains a guided tour through a J2EE application development project.
We structured the process chapters to make them easy to read "at a glance," and to make it easy to refer to specific topics of interest. Each process chapter is organized primarily by activities. We provide diagrams that indicate the overall flow between the activities and the key artifacts that are consumed and produced by the activities. For each activity, we provide an overview table that summarizes the purpose of the activity, its input and output artifacts, and a summary of the steps performed within the activity. Following the table, we then describe the details of each of these steps, using the sample application.
In the process chapters, we use only one simple editing convention: we emphasize all references to process elements such as activities, steps, and artifacts.
From the Back Cover
Two of the most significant technological development trends of the past few years have been the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), a platform specifically geared to the needs of enterprise systems, and the Rational Unified Process (RUP), a comprehensive development methodology.
Building J2EE Applications with the Rational Unified Process is the first book to bring these two key development concepts together. Featuring a non-trivial sample application, the book demonstrates a customized subset of RUP that is relevant and essential to J2EE development. The text guides readers through the entire development process, from initial requirements gathering through system implementation, illuminating real-world intricacies, complications, tradeoffs, and decision making.
The book presents a review of the latest releases of J2EE and RUP, emphasizing the rationale behind their content. A developer roadmap helps readers navigate the development process successfully, and detailed discussions of each aspect of the process reveal practical strategies and techniques.
Also provided is detailed coverage of the key aspects behind any successful software development effort:
- Requirements, including use-case modeling and the gathering of architecturally significant requirements
- Analysis, including the transformation of requirements into a first-cut design model and a user-experience model
- Design, including the refinement of a design model, introducing interfaces, framework components, design classes, and use-case realizations
- Implementation, including the creation of source code and executable code based on the design, and the production of J2EE modules necessary for deployment
- Architectural concerns, including the production of a Software Architecture Document, Deployment Model, and Data Model
- The use of patterns, in particular J2EE design patterns
- The use of UML to model J2EE technologies such as Enterprise JavaBeans
Written for anyone working in J2EE or using RUP, this book is an comprehensive guide that reveals how J2EE and the Rational Unified Process come together to produce a powerful, efficient, and effective approach to enterprise application development.
Forewords were prepared by John Crupi, Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems (and coauthor of Core J2EE Patterns, Prentice Hall, 2001), and Philippe Kruchten, Director of RUP Development at Rational Software (and author of The Rational Unified Process, Addison-Wesley, 2000).

the RUP is a proven way to keep software projects on track. The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is the latest iteration of the Java language platform. Having only been introduced a few years ago, Java has undergone a phenomenal rate of adoption, which attests to the flexibility and power of the language. In this book, the two are combined, as the authors take you through a series of steps that show you how to construct the architecture of an online auction system using J2EE.
After finishing the book, I suddenly realized that I did not remember seeing any actual code. In fact there are a few lines, but only to demonstrate some of the J2EE component technologies, which is the topic of chapter 2. Code is not used in the chapters that describe the modeling of the project, which is a strong point in favor of the authors. Had they included code in this section, it would have just complicated the explanation without improving it.
Diagrams are heavily used throughout the book, which serves to clarify many of the critical points. However, the strongest area of the book is the use of Activity boxes, which are also used throughout the book. They are sections set aside having the form:
* Title. For example, Activity: Structure the use-case model.
* Overview. A brief explanation of the activity and how it is carried out.
* Input artifacts. What must be present when the activity starts.
* Resulting artifacts.Read more ›
But until now I haven't seen a book that combined the concepts of process, modeling, and platform architecture and described the implementation of a non-trivial application using industry best practices. "Building J2EE Applications with the Rational Unified Process" does this.
J2EE architects, developers and project managers will all get value out of this book because it sets the context for building enterprise class applications on the J2EE platform. Software development is still hard - we need to consider what we're building, how to capture and communicate that, how to structure it, and ultimately how to design and implement the system.
Combining discussions of the software lifecycle with J2EE implementation choices, the latest thoughts on design patterns, and building a J2EE system in a regular/repeatable way is not an easy task and I am happy to say that this book accomplishes the goal admirably.
After brief introductions to J2EE and the Rational Unified Process (RUP, which is pretty much a de-facto process standard for developing software) the reader is walked through the development of a fairly complex online auction application. I was pleased to see that the authors haven't taken the easy route of discussing a trivial application; the example used ensures that all of the "tricky" questions that would arise in a typical project are answered.
A chapter is dedicated to each of requirements, analysis, design and implementation. It was great to see the use of the Sun J2EE patterns throughout. I was also pleased to see some discussion of user-experience modeling, something that I've been struggling with in real life.
Even though there is a lot of information to absorb such as J2EE, RUP, UML and J2EE patterns, this isn't a lengthy book. At just over 250 pages I was amazed at how much useful information it contains in such a small amount of space. It's also interesting to see that this book has two forewords. The first is written by Philippe Kruchten, Director of RUP Development. The second is by John Crupi, one of the authors of Core J2EE Patterns. This tells me that the authors have done their homework, and it shows.
This book let's you focus on only a small subset of RUP, a subset which is really relevant for developing the architecture of a J2EE application, it let's you use RUP as a tool (that's the whole point of RUP, it's a tool, not a goal in itself) to deliver your final deliverable, the software architecture document with other supporting documents.
If you are a J2EE Architect or a senior developer planning to make the move towards architect roles, this is the book for you, keep the 'J2EE Patterns' book (Deepak Alur, Dan Malks, John Crupi) by your side, and you're ready to go!

Written by Jen Finn
I've spent the last 30 years building a family business around the Bristol Bay, Alaska, salmon fishery, making the aluminum boats that fishermen use to harvest fish from the world's greatest sockeye salmon run.
While southwestern Alaska may seem far off, many people in Washington state understand the deep economic ties between Bristol Bay and the Puget Sound. Just recently, a new economic report produced by the University of Alaska found that the Bristol Bay salmon fishery is worth $1.5 billion in total value and produces nearly 6 percent of all U.S. seafood export value. The fishery employs more than 12,000 people in fishing and processing, concentrated most heavily in Alaska, Washington and Oregon. And another nearly 8,000 jobs across the country are tied to the fishery in industries like grocery retailing, canning, warehousing and restaurants.
All of this economic bounty comes from the world's largest sockeye salmon run, which averages 37 million fish a year and feeds people around the globe.
To me, the numbers in the economic report aren't just statistics. I first started building aluminum gillnet boats in 1978, and I worked hard to build All American Marine. Although I sold the company last year, it employs 50 people, and my new business, Strongback Metal Boats, now employs seven people.
But, the jobs and revenue of Bristol Bay don't stop at my employees and what they spend in Whatcom County. To build our boats, we also order products and services from other vendors and specialists, ordering nuts and bolts and other parts, subcontracting electricians and hydraulic work, purchasing jet pumps from a supplier in Arkansas and engines from a Seattle vendor. Put another way, a lot of people and businesses are affected by one boat, and in the case of Bristol Bay, a rising tide lifts all boats. In Washington there are dozens of small businesses like my own that are tied to the Bristol Bay salmon fishery and directly support hundreds of skilled labor jobs.

The area's stink bug population is soaring to such a degree that one local exterminator has deemed the insect the "bug of the year."
"Some years it's wasps … Asian Lady Beetles were a problem for a couple years," said Ken Packard of Dayton-based Bugs or Us Pest Control Inc. "This year it's stink bugs."
Stink bugs, which have small heads, antennae and large arrowhead-shaped backs, don't pose a threat to humans and there's no evidence that they can cause damage to homes. But Pam Bennett, horticulture educator at the Clark County Extension Office of Ohio State University, said they're capable of sucking the juices out of fruit and vegetable crops.
Stink bugs were first discovered in Pennsylvania in 1998, Bennett said. They migrated to northeast Ohio and now appear to be spreading laterally across the state.
"People visiting that area can (sometimes) bring them down on their vehicles and things like that," she said. As a result, populations can be hit or miss.
"We've got a pretty good upswing right now," she said.
Packard said he can attest to that. The exterminator of nearly 20 years has been working from sun up to sun down and 2013 is on track to be a record year in terms of sales and treatment numbers.
The insects carry a reputation of being hard to get rid of.
"It's not uncommon to see 10, 20, 30 of them on a window screen," he said."The sun heats up the house and the flying insect will gravitate to the heat, away from the cold."
Packard said the bugs can sneak into living spaces through the cracks and crevices of a home. This becomes more common in the winter.
Stink bugs earned their name by producing a pungent odor for a few minutes if smashed.
"If you crush them, they're going to stink," Packard said.
Lee Miller, of Beavercreek Twp., said he has noticed several on his car and around his garage in recent months. He said they truly are "nuisance pests."
"They pretty much smell like a skunk," he said.

Nanotoxicology addresses the toxicology of nanoscale particles which appear to have toxic effects that are unusual and not seen with larger particles of the same materials. In this collection of recent papers from the Journal of Applied Toxicology we focus on nanoparticles of silver, gold, titanium and carbon and their relevance in the field of medical applications, as well as their fundamental toxicity as they are extensively used in a variety of other technologies and consumer products.

As l drove to the youth meeting, my mind was in a scramble. What am I going to do for my talk tonight? I wondered. I had led many meetings since becoming a volunteer youth leader, but this week I'd gotten behind and hadn't prepared. And now nothing was coming. The closer I got, the more anxious I felt.
Inside I was tired, bone tired. Is this the way autumn leaves feel before they drop off the trees? Between a job and school and this ministry, I didn't have time to spend with friends. And I wasn't taking time to read the Bible, pray, or do anything to deepen my spiritual life. I was drying up. The program seemed so exciting when I first became involved, but now it had become burdensome. Where had I gone wrong? How did I so quickly lose my first feelings of euphoria? What could I do about my fatigue and the sense that I was "weary in well-doing"?
Leaders in a church face many barriers to long term involvement and effectiveness, but I'm convinced, after many years as both a lay leader and pastor, that there are three main ones: fatigue, conflict, and disillusionment. Along the way, however, I've also learned some practical ways to overcome them.
Fighting fatigue
My fatigue as a youth leader stemmed from a positive source: I wanted to do something worthwhile. But in my strong sense of commitment, I had neglected to do some of the following:
Ask questions. We should find out as much as we can about the role we are undertaking. How many meetings a month are expected - not only with the specific program, but also with any peripheral activities? How much flexibility is allowed if an unavoidable job or family commitment comes up? A critical question is "What resources can I draw on for help, and who will train me?" Too often as volunteers we get the "deep-water training program" - sink or swim on your own.
Consider a conditional commitment. We might ask to try on the role for size to see if we are really suited to participate long term. We need to beware the "we can't get anyone else, so we really need you to volunteer" trap. Maybe there are some good reasons no one else would do the job.
Look for relationships. With rare exception, God does not expect us to minister alone. We need time with peers. Sharing program leadership with a friend is one good way to deepen a relationship.
Monitor priorities. We may be the persons with the gifts, experience, or possibilities for growth that God wants to use. In obedience to Christ's nudging we can respond enthusiastically to the call for help. But we must realize that it is not the divine plan that we get so involved that we lose touch with our Source. The work of the ministry is not more important than the personal preparation we need through prayer, Scripture reading, and other spiritual disciplines.
Containing conflict
In the middle of the routine business of our church council, Jess (not his real name) began to criticize sharply Larry's work. "You didn't follow the stewardship plan," he charged. "You haven't followed through on your commitments, and you don't have enough people following you to pull off this program." A numbed silence settled over the council.
As a matter of fact, Larry had already helped raise 8 percent more than last year's record stewardship campaign. Why the bitter, unfair criticism? I wondered. Is Jess jealous because Larry raised more money than he did as last year's chairman? Did they have some falling out in their business dealings? How can such demoralizing words come from one who is normally optimistic and compassionate?

We're offering you a mini orchard fruit tree collection for only £24, saving you 66% off Gardeners Market's price of £69.96 (correct as of 6.1.14).
Where would mankind be without fruit? Five-a-day would be a recurring struggle, that's for sure. Good news: with today's deal, you'll never be deprived of your daily punnet again! You'll get a mini orchard featuring four fruit trees that will grow almost anywhere, whether in sun or partial shade. Nothing tastes better than fruit grown in your own garden - just imagine the crumbles you could bake with this crop! You'll get the following fruit trees in your mini orchard:
- Conference Pear: Creamy white blossom and mid-green foliage give way to the naturally sweet and succulent British Conference Pear.
- Morello Cherry: An incredibly popular ingredient in desserts, syrups and liqueurs, the Morello Cherry is perfectly suited to the UK climate - grow it in your garden, on your patio or balcony!
- Golden Delicious: This apple needs no introduction, but let your own home-grown crop prove to the supermarkets yours are crisper, fresher and tastier than theirs.
- Victoria Plum: Sprouting from a canopy of fluffy white blossom, the Victoria Plum tastes as good as it looks (even better in a crumble)!

Electricity is part of our lives. We use it from the moment we wake up (switch on lights or boil the kettle), through the day (radio, TV, computer or vacuum cleaner) and while we sleep (alarms, electric blankets).
As a result, we can sometimes forget how powerful and dangerous electricity can be.
Please take some time to read the Electricity in the home booklet. It's a useful resource which explains some of the simple things you can do to make using electricity in your home as safe as possible.
REMEMBER: Never do your own electrical work. It's not only illegal, it's potentially fatal. Always use a licensed electrician.

Just what is probably a basic question for something I haven't been able to figure out all day. Here's a snippet of code in C++:
Escape::Escape(std::string filename)
std::ifstream file;
if (file.is_open()) {
file >> gridWidth >> gridHeight >> nKeys;
std::cout << "gridWidth = " << gridWidth << std::endl;
std::cout << "gridHeight = " << gridHeight << std::endl;
std::cout << "nKeys = " << nKeys << std::endl;
/* irrelevant code below */
Basically I want this code to read the first three integers of a text file and save them into the variables gridWidth, gridHeight, and nKeys. These are private integers of a class called "Escape". Here are the first few lines of the text file:
(more text below)
And here is some sample output of this code:
gridWidth = 107764358
gridHeight = -991553646
nKeys = 0
On running this code multiple times, gridWidth and gridHeight are always junk and nKeys is always 0. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Any response it much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: The problem was with the filename I passed to file.open(). I passed in the relative filename which, although openable, was not linkable to the ifstream. The problem was resolved by using the text file's absolute filename instead. Thanks for your responses!

Food security situation improves in Kenya
Support still needed for livelihoods at risk
Successive above-average rainfall seasons in pastoral and agropastoral areas of Kenya have led to improvements in crop and livestock production. Meanwhile, the continued implementation of recommended crosssectoral relief and early recover interventions by the Government of Kenya, humanitarian and development partners targeting the most vulnerable has also supported recovery.
The number of food insecure people requiring direct food aid has consequently dropped from 2.1 million in 2012 to 1.1 million in 2013. Livelihoods vulnerable to recurrent shocks and hazards, however, are still at risk.
"The gains made need to be sustained through continued well-targeted and well-coordinated livelihood support interventions," states Dan Rugabira, FAO Representative in Kenya. "The focus needs to be on restoring and protecting the livelihoods of those still at risk, integrating both emergency and development approaches."
Under the Government-led 2013 Emergency Humanitarian Response Plan for Kenya, agriculture and livestock sector interventions remain underfunded. Support is needed for both crop production and livestock relief and early recovery interventions.
FAO also stresses the need for longer-term resilience building, including the development of water harvesting structures for both human, livestock and irrigation; soil and water conservation activities; community-based seed production; and natural resource management.
Furthermore, the current long rains season has seen severe flooding in parts of the country, particularly in northeastern, eastern parts of the coast and western Kenya, further eroding gains. A food security and livelihood assessment mission in May by the Government of Kenya and partners, including FAO, will provide an overview of the situation, recommendations and response options.

This book was even better than the first! Although, I wish the narration had still come from Nico. You could relate to him better. Anyway, this book was full of surprises and little shocks that even I, the master of prediction, wasn't expecting :) The storyline was better than the last book, although I never found out where Soames went.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Pinball Arcade
Farsight Studios
- July 15, 2016
Offers in-app purchases
( 35,064)
Pinball Arcade is the most realistic and comprehensive pinball game ever created!
Tales of the Arabian Nights™ is included for free with over 70 classic pinball tables available in-game.
This expansive digital arcade features exact recreations of the all-time greatest pinball tables from Williams®, Bally®, Stern Pinball®, and Gottlieb® together in one app. Every flipper, bumper, sound effect, and display pixel has been painstakingly emulated in astonishing detail.
Rated 9.0 on IGN!
Free Table of the month: Diner™ is being featured and is available for unlimited play!
Great reproductions The machines themselves are perfect and the physics and gameplay are as good as it gets. I've played a few of these games and it brings back memories. Really excellent. The only problem is with the interface of the app. It's clunky getting to the machines and sometimes the app closes. Could use some bug fixes. Nexus 6p
No one likes to hear it and lets boycott this crap This decision was absolutely retarded. And not to give any reasoning as to why is worse. You say added a new UI! As if it was a good thing. Its not even pleasing to the eye. Itd be more bearable if you got rid of the pinballs with the name on it. Thats the worst part when trying to figure out what game im looking for. Trying to find a logo squeezed onto a ball. Also make the app close when i hit back otherwise it stays running. Update the challenges to look and unlock the old way. No way to tell whatsdone
Creepy as a f#×* Got the funhouse table free, did NOT like the Ghostbusters table WHATSOEVER. Wasn't even going to give their other downloads a chance it was so bad. BUT-this one made up for it. Looked at some videos and pics of this table online and these guys f#%$@÷ nailed it.
Favorite app I love this game. I've had it since the beginning. I have learned a lot on little tips and tricks of the game. My only gripe right now is it force closes when I try to open the current tournament. I have a Nexus 5x running Marshmallow. Current updates have it running smoothly.
The best virtual pinball machine physics! Most of the bugs have been fixed! This is still one of the best pinball app out there!😁 Now... if only I could remember to save up money to buy some pinball machines..
Go back to the old user interface I hate the new oneone! It WAS so good to use and browse tables, farsight, you have stuffed it up! Go back to the old menu and I will change back to 5 stars!
What's New
- Indy 500 added to the Pinball Arcade!
- Tournament Mode is now fixed!

二度滞在しました。 一度目はスイートに三泊、二度目は普通の部屋に一泊しました。 先ず クオリティの割に値段は異常に高いです。 Room serviceがあるHotelに泊まる必要があった為に ここを選びましたが 値段とクオリティーは見合わないと思います。 3泊で60万くらいでした。苦笑 ただ、いつも混んでいるので エリア的に必需なんでしょうね。 会社の経費なら良いのでは?

Subjective Multidimensional Workload Index for Distributed Teams: Development Program for the Team Subjective Assessment of Workload (T-SAW)

AbstractCurrently, there is a severe lack of subjective workload measures developed specifically to address the characteristics of distributed ad-hoc teams. The significance of the problem is considerable, given the fact that many organizations (e.g., industry, military, and academia) continue to rely more and more on distributed teams and collaborative technology to accomplish tasks and goals. In response to this growing need, SA Technologies proposes to develop the first fully validated, domain-independent, diagnostic, and prescriptive subjective workload measure, which will be sensitive to different team configurations, from intact co-located teams, to ad-hoc distributed teams in any domain. SA Technologies will leverage its vast experience in the field and conduct a review of the current methods of appraising subjective workload in order to identify the common theoretical and practical limitations that need to be expanded upon and integrated into a coherent theoretical framework that will provide the basis for the development of a subjective workload measure for teams. Finally, SA Technologies will take a programmatic approach to empirically testing the measure with human subjects, via a distributed team testbed, in order to establish external validity by demonstrating scale sensitivity to various measures of effectiveness and measures of performance, thus establishing prescriptive value.
