Slavery in the 21st Century
In the midst of the worldwide Economic boom, reports documenting modern-day slavery come from every corner of the globe. From Bangladesh to Brazil, from India to The Sudan, and even in the U.S., there are more people enslaved today than ever before in human history. Slavery—defined strictly as forced labour for little or no pay under the threat of violence—engulfs, by conservative estimates, 27 million people.
Hidden at the underbelly of thriving global markets and often contributing to the general wealth and comfort of people around the world, contemporary slavery takes myriad forms, though most are different from the classic pattern known to Americans. The more notable—though by no means the only—cases of modern-day slavery include chattel slavery in Mauritania and The Sudan, debt bondage in Asia, and human trafficking worldwide.
Chattel Slavery in Mauritania and The Sudan.
In the northwestern African country of Mauritania, chattel slavery—the owning and trading of humans—never ended. The oldest and most traditional form of slavery, chattel slavery is a vestige of the trans-Saharan slave trade in black Africans. Beginning in the 13th century, Arab-Berber raiders descended upon Mauritania's indigenous African tribes, abducted women and children, and then bred a new caste of slaves.
The raids had long ceased by 2000, but the bedein (white Arab masters), who disdained physical work, still hold haratine (black African slaves) as property. Haratine mothers do not own their own children; they are instead passed down through their master's estate. Slaves are bought and sold, given as wedding gifts, and traded for camels, trucks, or guns. The enslaved perform domestic work, haul water, and shepherd cattle.
El Hor (literally, "the Free"), an underground antislavery group run by former slaves, estimates that there may be as many as one million haratine. Hundreds of thousands more are believed to be serving nomadic bedein masters in Mali and Senegal, two countries that border Mauritania, and there have been reports of haratine being sold to masters in several Gulf states.
In The Sudan, Africa's largest country in area, the black slave trade was rekindled in a brutal civil-religious conflict between Arab Muslims in the north of the country and African peoples in the south, who were predominantly Christians and practitioners of traditional faiths. In 1989 the fundamentalist National Islamic Front overthrew the government in Khartoum and declared a jihad, or holy war, to impose Koranic law in the south. As part of its war effort, Arab militia stormed southern villages, killed the men, and abducted the women and children. The captives were transported north, kept by the militiamen, or traded, sometimes in what the UN Special Rapporteur described as "modern-day slave markets."
One of those children taken into bondage was Francis Bok. One day when he was seven years old, his mother sent him to the market to sell the family's rice and beans. Several hundred Arabs on horseback attacked and killed many in the market. Francis was put in a donkey basket along with two little girls and taken north. He was given to a family as their slave. He was beaten with sticks daily and cursed as abid—"black slave" in Arabic. He was forced to live with goats and cows because, he was told, "You are an animal, like them." He was given putrid food and forced to eat it at gunpoint, to the laughter of his masters. Francis tried to escape three times. He was tortured after his first two attempts and tied with rope so that he could not move for a week. After 10 years in captivity, he finally escaped and made his way to Khartoum and then to Egypt, from which the UN sent him to the U.S. for resettlement. By 2000 he was working with the American Anti-Slavery Group in Boston to raise awareness about the plight of his people, and he testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the abuses.
Debt Bondage: Human Beings as Collateral.
The most pervasive form of contemporary slavery is debt bondage, an age-old system that afflicts the poorest of the poor. In India, Pakistan, and Nepal, peasants have fallen into debt bondage from time immemorial. When a crop failed, the family breadwinner fell ill, or other circumstances arose such that people had no other choice but starvation, they borrowed money to stave off death. In return, as they had no assets, they pledged themselves.
People became bonded labourers when they leased, pawned, or sold themselves or family members to landlords or masters in return for having taken on a debt. Ostensibly, the debt could be paid off over time, but the masters charged outrageous interest and added to the debt by charging for food, medicine, and shelter. People were also born into bondage, assuming a debt taken on generations before by an unknown family member who had fallen on hard times.
Today an estimated 10 million to 15 million persons in India live in various forms of debt bondage. Millions of agricultural workers are bonded farm labourers. Much of what the bonded workers produce is exported overseas. For example, some of the tea Americans drink comes from slaves in India's Assam state. Jewelry, bricks, timber, stone, sugar, rugs, and cloth—all are produced by bonded labourers in South Asia.
Trafficking in Humans.
In an illicit international trade that is beginning to rival drug trafficking, humans are being smuggled around the world to serve as slaves. New studies estimated that at least 700,000 people are trafficked each year, often by small crime syndicates. Victims are typically women, who are lured, abducted, or forced to work as prostitutes. Trafficking in humans illustrates the truly global nature of contemporary slavery. It is entirely possible for Thai women to find themselves enslaved in Paris and for Sri Lankan women to end up in bondage in New York City.
According to a CIA report published in November 1999, as many as 50,000 women and children were trafficked into the U.S. over the previous 12-month span. The report estimated that approximately 30,000 people, most of whom were women and children, were trafficked annually into the U.S. from Southeast Asia; another 10,000 came from Latin America, 4,000 from Eastern Europe and newly independent states, and 1,000 from various other regions. In one notable case, more than 50 illegal Thai immigrants were forced to sew clothing (bound for top-name retailers) in a Los Angeles sweatshop surrounded by guards and barbed wire.
The Neo-Abolitionist Movement.
Former slaves such as Francis Bok represent the face of the new antislavery movement. Abolitionist groups are increasingly giving survivors of slavery a platform to tell their stories and to demand action. These survivors offer compelling testimony that inspires people of all ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds. Though, unlike in the past, abolitionists do not need to win the moral argument against slavery, the task of mobilizing the international community to address contemporary slavery seriously remains a daunting task.

Sometimes I see myself through
your eyes, my pale face so in love,
aching for the caress of that
flaxen haired boy racing
through rolling wheat fields.
Suddenly serious your adventurous
eyes sent shivers through me.
I longed for your touch anytime and
we kissed open mouthed without
I adored your mock anger when
chasing after me and the awkward
way you looked down at your hands.
Soon Autumn threw its shadow on
sprouting wheat, smooth and wet.
From the half closed door I hear the
whisper of your breathing and know
there are different kinds of love,
wild , ruthless, and unafraid.

Learn about the millions of protected songbirds that wind up on dinner plates, why the harvest is unsustainable, and how citizens can help turn the tide.Credit: Little Wing LLCThe film, directed by brothers Douglas and Roger Kass, is based on a New Yorker essay by award-winning writer Jonathan Franzen. Using discrete cameras, filmmakers traveled to poaching hotspots with international activists. The footage – shot mainly in Cyprus, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain – sheds much needed light on the widespread illegal trapping of songbirds.A Q&A with director Roger Kass will follow the 78-minute film. Kass has been quoted as saying, "Beyond learning about the issues the film addresses in terms of songbird poaching in southern Europe, the notion that every individual can make a difference, no matter how large or small, is one that I really hope the film clearly evokes."Credit: Thierry NicaiseDirectors Roger and Douglas Kass received the 2013 Zelda Penzel Giving Voices to the Voiceless Award for the documentary. Roger Kass is a well-known producer of motion pictures, among them A History of Violence, The Basketball Diaries, and Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film.The event will take place in the Cary Institute auditorium, located at 2801 Sharon Tpk., (Rte. 44), Millbrook, N.Y.

Bob's Discount Furniture could be on the hook for allegedly selling a bedbug-infested bedroom set.
A customer brought suit against the retailer after an exterminator found bedbugs harboring in the frame of the customer's daughter's bed.
A federal judge ruled in favor of Bob's, but the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a remand, finding that the judge had erred by preventing the exterminator from testifying as an expert witness.
"This opinion evidence, coupled with evidence that the defendant had no written policy regarding the prevention of bedbugs and that it used the same trucks for both delivering new furniture and retrieving used furniture, is sufficient to support a conclusion that the defendant delivered bedbugs along with the bedroom set," Judge Bruce M. Selya wrote for the 1st Circuit.
The 21-page decision is Downey, et al. v. Bob's Discount Furniture Holdings, Inc., Lawyers Weekly No. 01-010-11.

Levodopa tablets
What are levodopa tablets?
LEVODOPA (Larodopa®) is used to treat Parkinson's disease. Levodopa can help correct an imbalance of chemicals in the brain caused by Parkinson's disease. Levodopa will not cure Parkinson's disease, but will help to control the symptoms. Generic levodopa tablets are not available.
What should my health care professional know before I take levodopa?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
asthma or lung disease
depression or other mental illness
heart disease, including history of a heart attack
irregular heart beat
kidney disease
liver disease
melanoma or suspicious skin lesions
seizure disorder
stomach or intestinal ulcers
an unusual or allergic reaction to levodopa, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
How should I take this medicine?
Take levodopa tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Swallow the tablets with a glass of water. It is best to take levodopa on an empty stomach, either 30 minutes before you eat or 1 hour after you eat. If the medicine upsets your stomach, you can take it with a cracker or fruit. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Do not stop taking this medicine without talking with your health care provider.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is less than 2 hours to your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses. Try not to miss a dose; it is important to keep your regular dosing schedule.
What drug(s) may interact with levodopa?
isoniazid, INH
iron supplements
kava kava
medicines for high blood pressure
medicines for depression, avoid those called MAO inhibitors-phenelzine (Nardil®), tranylcypromine (Parnate®), isocarboxazid (Marplan®)
medicines for mental problems and psychotic disturbances
s-adenosyl-l-methionine, SAM-e
vitamin B6(pyridoxine) supplements
water pills
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines that you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What should I watch for while taking levodopa?
Visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. It may be several weeks or months before you feel the full benefits of levodopa. Continue to take your medicine on a regular schedule and do not stop taking except on your prescriber's advice. Do not take any additional medicines for Parkinson's disease without first consulting with your health care provider.
You may experience a "wearing off" effect prior to the time for your next dose of levodopa. You may also experience an "on-off" effect where the medicine apparently stops working for anything from a minute to several hours, then suddenly starts working again. Tell your prescriber or health care professional if any of these symptoms happen to you, he/she may need to adjust your dosage.
A high-protein diet can slow or prevent absorption of levodopa. Avoid high protein foods near the time of taking levodopa to help to prevent these problems. Take levodopa at least 30 minutes before eating or one hour after meals. You may want to eat higher protein foods later in the day or in small amounts. Discuss your diet with your prescriber or health care professional or nutritionist.
Do not take iron supplements within 2 hours of taking levodopa. The iron may decrease the amount of levodopa in your system and decrease the effectiveness of the drug.
Do not sit or stand up quickly. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells. The dizziness should decrease after taking levodopa for a couple of days. Alcohol can increase possible dizziness; avoid alcoholic drinks.
If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are taking levodopa.
If you are diabetic, levodopa may interfere with the accuracy of some tests for sugar or ketones in the urine (does not interfere with blood tests). Check with your prescriber or health care professional before changing the dose of your diabetic medicine.
Levodopa may discolor the urine or sweat, making it look darker or red in color; this is of no cause for concern. However, this may stain clothing or fabrics.
What side effects may I notice from taking levodopa?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
difficulty passing urine
dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting spells
fast or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
mental depression
mood changes such as aggressive behavior or hallucinations
stomach pain
uncontrolled movements of the mouth, head, hands, feet, shoulders, eyelids or other unusual muscle movements
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
anxiety, confusion, or nervousness
dark color (brown, red, or black) of saliva, urine or sweat
loss of appetite
muscle twitches
nightmares, trouble sleeping
unusual tiredness or weakness
Where can I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children in a container that small children cannot open.
Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F). Protect from light. Keep container tightly closed. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date.

I'm not cool enough to lead the life I do.
I step into a coffee shop and in no time they pop the question: "So, do you live around here?" No, I don't. I actually took the train for forty-five minutes (two transfers!) to get here because I love your single-origin espresso. Not cool.
After I down my macchiato in shame, I go to work for a restaurant group that exudes unmistakable machismo and a devil-may-care attitude toward customers and non-customers alike. Meanwhile I keep an Excel spreadsheet of my earnings there. A friggin' spreadsheet! So not cool.
I'm also embarrassed that there is not a single outfit in my wardrobe that lets me blend in at Roberta's, currently my favorite restaurant in New York. My girlfriend, meanwhile, can only wear her one plaid shirt so many times. I think they are beginning to catch on. Continue reading →

September 10, 2007: We have been informed by Dr. Paula Szkody that science observations of PQ Andromedae with the Hubble Space Telescope have been scheduled for this coming Wednesday, September 12, 2007 and Thursday, September 13, 2007 (UT). Dr. Szkody requests intensive coverage of this object through the night of September 11/12, 2007 (Tuesday/Wednesday UT) which is when the final decision will be made on whether PQ Andromedae is in quiescence and is deemed safe to observe.
September 7, 2007
September 4, 2007: The WZ Sge-candidate object HS 2331+3905 [V455 And] has been reported in outburst on VSNET by two observers. This object was last reported as fainter than 14.6 on JD 2454347.3931 (Sept 3, 2007, 21:26 UT), and has now been detected at 14.59 and 14.4 by observers in Japan. HS 2331+3905 has never been observed in outburst before, and observations are strongly encouraged.
September 12, 2007: According to IAU Circular 8868 (Daniel E. W. Green, editor), N. N. Samus, Institute of Astronomy, Moscow, reports that the dwarf nova cataclysmic variable 2328+38 HS 2331+3905 is now V455 And, and HS 2331+3905 has been assigned the official name V455 And. The AAVSO validation file has been changed to reflect this new name. Please use V455 AND when reporting observations.
V455 AND is located at RA 23:34:01.55, Dec +39:21:42.9 (J2000)
August 20, 2007: As described in Alert Notice 351, we are running an extended campaign on the newly discovered eclipsing Cepheid ASAS 182611+1212.6. Doug Welch has reminded me that the primary eclipse is predicted to be around August 28 around 0130UT. However, the eclipses are many days long, and the binary light curve is continuously changing, so don't just observe on the 28th.
August 16, 2007: As published in CBET 1034 by D. Madison and W. Li, Supernova 2007gr was discovered at magnitude 13.8 by KAIT on August 15.53 UT, and is currently at magnitude 13.5 on August 16.47. It is located in the bright spiral galaxy NGC 1058, approximately 30 arcseconds northwest of the nucleus.
The coordinates of the supernova are (J2000):
RA: 02:43:27.98 Dec: +37:20:44.7
August 19, 2007: Data for SN 2007gr can now be submitted to the AAVSO using the following Harvard Designation and/or name: 0237+36B SN 2007GR
Latest report from Martin Nicholson is that the SN is at V=12.83 and continuing to rise. The two prior SNe in NGC 1058 both reached a peak brightness about this level, so SN 2007gr may not get much brighter.
August 22, 2007: CBET 1038 reports that the GCVS team has given the nova the formal name of V458 Vul. Please use 1950+20 V458 Vul for all future submissions through WebObs.
August 9, 2007: N Vul 07 (CBET 1027, AAVSO Special Notice #55) is most likely a nova [V458 Vul]; high-resolution spectra are being analyzed to confirm the object's nature. An AAVSO Alert Notice will be issued later, but the purpose of this special notice is to inform observers that:
- N Vul 07 (19:54:24.64 +20:52:51.9 (2000.0)) has been added to the AAVSO files as 1950+20 N VUL 07.

1. What is the importance of knowledge?
2. In what four ways may knowledge be obtained?
3. In which of these ways did Adam possess a knowledge of evil before he sinned?
Adam already had a knowledge of evil by information, but that was insufficient to restrain him from trying the experiment. Adam and Eve knew God as their Creator, and hence as the one who had the right to control and direct them; and God had said of the forbidden tree, "In the day thou eatest thereof, dying thou shalt die." They had, therefore, a theoretical knowledge of evil, though they had never observed or experienced its effects. Consequently, they did not appreciate their Creator's loving authority and his beneficent law, nor the dangers from which he thereby proposed to protect them. They therefore yielded to the temptation which God wisely permitted, the ultimate utility of which his wisdom had traced.
4. Where is the source of all true knowledge?
5. How is knowledge 'God's first gift to man'?

8. Is knowledge necessary to salvation ?

20. How are 'grace and peace multiplied' unto us through knowledge?
21. What is the relation between knowledge and prayer ?
22. Do all kinds of knowledge profit us?
23. How can we explain the Apostle's statement, 'Ye know all things,' and 'need not that any man teach you'?
24. Explain Isa 53:11.
Our Lord's words are still applicable to the case, viz., "No man knoweth the Son but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father save the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him." (Matt. 11:27) The world knew him not: knew not of his high origin, and his great humiliation on its behalf; and when we remember that a long period of time probably intervened between the beginning of the creation in the person of our Lord, and the time when he was made flesh, and when further we remember that during all that period he was with the Father, "daily his delight, rejoicing always before him," we cannot wonder that the Son knew the Father, as his disciples and the world knew him not--as we are learning to know him through his Word of revelation and the unfoldment of his wonderful plan of the ages. Hear him again declare, "O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee, but I have known thee." John 17:25
The key to this wonderful knowledge of heavenly things is furnished in the statement, "He that is of the earth is earthy, and speaketh of the earth; he that cometh from heaven is above all, and what he hath seen and heard, that he testifies." (John 3:31,32) No wonder, then, that even his opponents asked, "Whence hath this man this wisdom?" (Matt. 13:54) And it was his knowledge of heavenly things, his intimate and long acquaintance with the Father, begetting absolute faith in the Father's promises, which enabled him, as a perfect man, to overcome the world, the flesh and the devil, and to present an acceptable sacrifice for our sins. Thus it was written beforehand through the Prophet: "By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, while he will bear their iniquities." Isa. 53:11
R1835 c1 p1
The language of our Lord's faith was, "O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee." He had been with the Father from the beginning, had realized his love and his goodness, had seen his power and had marked his righteousness and his loving kindness and fatherly providence over all his works. And so it is written, "By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities." (`Isa. 53:11`.) The knowledge which he had of the Father gave to him a firm footing for faith in all his purposes concerning the future. Hence he could and did walk by faith. And that faith enabled him to overcome all obstacles and secure the victory even over death.
25. Should we expect to have any knowledge of the future?
26. What evidences have we that Da 12:4 is being fulfilled?
27. When will 'the knowledge of the Lord fill the earth as the waters cover the sea,' and...
28. What will be the relation between knowledge and faith in the Millennial Age ?
R2677 c1 p5 to 2678 p1
What is now known to the Church of this Gospel age as "justification by faith" (in like manner also the ancient worthies were justified) will not be in operation during the Millennial age, nor be necessary; because the conditions then will be so different from present conditions. It is because "we walk by faith and not by sight,"--because faith is now so difficult, and therefore so rare, that it is so highly appreciated and rewarded of God. But when the Millennial age will have been ushered in, the age of faith will have passed--that will be the age of knowledge,--the age of evidences so clear, so unmistakable, that even "the wayfaring man, tho ignorant, shall not err therein, for the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the whole earth, as the waters cover the face of the great deep." With knowledge thus abundant, so that there shall be no need to say to one's neighbor, "Know the Lord, because all shall know him," it follows that special faith will be impossible, and hence the rewards of special faith will no longer be offered.
We do not mean to say that mankind during the Millennium will not believe; on the contrary, none can do otherwise than believe: we do mean to say, however, that there is a difference between believing and exercising faith. We now believe various things by faith, which the world in the next age will believe, not by faith but on evidence, by knowledge--it will be impossible for them to doubt them, seeing that the evidences will be so indisputable. For instance, now God tells us to reckon all of our past sins forgiven, and ourselves fully justified in his sight. Nevertheless, we continually see evidences of our own weaknesses in our minds and bodies. The sins are not blotted out; they are merely reckonedly covered. In the case of the Church's sins: they will not be blotted out until death shall destroy these mortal bodies, and until the Lord, in the first resurrection, shall grant us glorious, spiritual, perfect bodies. In them there will be no trace of sin or weakness or imperfection; all our sins will then be actually blotted out. But now we are required to believe in the covering of our sins; to exercise faith in God's declaration. Our next step of faith is in connection with the high calling to sacrifice earthly and temporal interests for the gaining of the heavenly glory, honor and immortality. But the heavenly crown and blessing are seen only with the eye of faith; and whoever runs in the race now set before us in the Gospel, must not only look with the eye of faith unto Jesus, as the author and finisher of our faith, but with the same eye of faith must see the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, has laid up for those who are faithful. Thus ours is preeminently an age of faith, of reckoned conditions, and of trust in the promises: and it shall have its great and precious reward.
Not so will be the conditions of the Millennial age, when ushered in. Knowledge will be there, as we have seen; and each day's experiences will result either in mental, moral and physical development, or in chastisements for failures to make progress. Such experiences will give ample demonstration of what may be expected as the ultimate outcome,--restitution as the reward of obedience, or the Second Death as the punishment of disobedience.
The matter is clearly set before us in the Scriptures, which clearly teach that, during this age, the rule of divine dealing is, "According to thy faith be it unto thee," while the rule of the judgment of the world in the Millennial age is clearly laid down in `Rev. 20:12`: "I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God: and the books were opened; and another book of life was opened [the first book of life is called the Lamb's Book of Life, containing the names of the elect Church, his Bride:--this other Book of Life will be the book or record of those who shall pass the restitution trial or judgment satisfactorily], and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books [the Scriptures--`John 12:48`] according to their works."
It would be a mistake to suppose that God will call mankind to sonship during the Millennial age, and not require them to make full consecration of themselves to him, and to that righteousness of which he is the personal representative. None can ever have eternal life upon any other condition than this--absolute obedience, and more--absolute harmony with the very spirit of the divine law, the law of righteousness, the law of love. And all who will be in harmony with the Lord to such an extent as this, would of necessity sacrifice, if there were opposition to the Lord or to righteousness which would make necessary a sacrifice of any kind, rather than deny the Lord and the principles of his holiness.
The reason why there will be no sacrifices required of the world during the Millennial age is, that sin and Satan will no longer be in control--"this present evil world" (dispensation) will have passed away, and in its stead will have been ushered in "the world to come, wherein dwelleth righteousness"--wherein righteousness will be the rule, wherein the King and all in favor with him and every feature of government will be one of righteousness, truth and love.
To suppose the restitution call already commenced, would be to suppose that God had in some manner authorized some one to announce that henceforth no one would suffer for right doing, but only for wrong doing; and that henceforth whoever sought to do right to the best of his ability, would find himself unopposed therein, and that his every effort would promptly bring mental, moral and physical strength and recuperation, which, going on and on, would by and by reach absolute perfection. Furthermore, it would be to promise that any who accepted this restitution call would never die the Adamic death; but on the contrary, accepting this call heartily, would find that day by day, year by year, the power of death in him was being vanquished and the process of restitution progressing.
When that call shall go forth, and those restitution privileges shall be offered to mankind, it will be as the Prophet has declared, that no man shall thenceforth die for Adam's sin, nor for the sin of his fathers, but only for his own sin. (`Jer. 31:29,30`.) We understand that this time will not be reached until after the time of trouble--not until A.D. 1915. To our understanding, from that date onward, the Kingdom being fully established, the call of the world to restitution privileges will be opened, and whoever shall then die will die for his own sin [Second Death] and not for father Adam's; and whoever will then be obedient to the Lord will experience the blessings of his grace in restitution,--actual, perceptible recovery beginning at once, as the reward to the faithful under the restitution call.
The sense in which Millennial blessings and favors are already lapping upon the Gospel age, to our understanding, is this: First, knowledge, inventions, etc., are bringing to the world of mankind blessings never hitherto enjoyed, and which are really intended for the Millennial age, and are merely being gotten ready or prepared in this "day of God's preparation." (2) Restitution blessings are lapping also, in the sense that these inventions, etc., are gradually leading on to the great time of trouble, in which present institutions, social, financial, political, religious, will all be overthrown--that in their stead God may bring in the better provisions and arrangements of the Millennial Kingdom. (3) Restitution blessings are coming to the Church now, in the sense that she is permitted to foresee these coming blessings upon the world, and to rejoice exceedingly, and to lift up her heart in thankfulness and praise to him who loveth us and who bought us with his own precious blood, and to realize how it is "the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
F106:3 to F107
True, faith may even then be said to be essential to restitution progress toward actual justification, for "without faith it is impossible to please God," and because the restitution blessings and rewards will be bestowed along lines that will demand faith; but the faith that will then be required for progress in restitution will differ very much from the faith now required of those "called to be saints," "joint-heirs with Jesus," "New Creatures." When the Kingdom of God shall be in control and Satan bound and the knowledge of the Lord caused to fill the earth, these fulfilments of divine promises will be recognized by all, and thus sight or knowledge will grasp actually much that is now recognizable only by the eye of faith. But faith will be needed, nevertheless, that they may go on unto perfection; and thus the actual justification obtainable by the close of the Millennium will be attained only by those who will persistently exercise faith and works. Although of that time it is written, "The dead shall be judged out of the books according to their WORKS," as in contradistinction to the present judgment of the Church "according to your FAITH," yet their works will not be without faith, even as our faith must not be without works to the extent of our ability.
The Apostle's declaration that God will justify the heathen through faith (Gal. 3:8), is shown by the context to signify that the reconciliation by restitution will not come as a result of the Law Covenant, but by grace under the terms of the New Covenant, which must be believed in, accepted and complied with by all who would benefit by it. A difference between present and future justification, is that the consecrated of the present time are, upon the exercise of proper faith, granted instantly fellowship with the Father, through reckoned justification, by faith; whereas the exercise of obedient faith under the more favorable conditions of the next age will not bring reckoned justification at all, and will effect actual justification and fellowship with God only at the close of the Millennium. The world in the interim will be in the hands of the great Mediator, whose work it will be to represent to them the divine will and to deal with them, correcting and restoring such as obey, until he shall have actually justified them--at which time he will present them faultless before the Father, when about to deliver up his Kingdom to God, even the Father. 1 Cor. 15:24

Veeco's proposal was focused on driving down the cost of high brightness LEDs through the advancement of its metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology. MOCVD is the critical enabling technology for the production of LEDs. The overall objective of this two year program is to develop high-volume MOCVD systems that provide a 4X reduction in the cost of epitaxial growth for LED devices, with the ultimate goal of a 10X reduction in LED costs. Veeco will partner with Sandia National Laboratories on this project.
According to John Peeler, Veeco's Chief Executive Officer, "Veeco is very excited to have been granted this important DOE funding, which will enable us to speed-up development of our next generation MOCVD systems. The funding will support the retention and creation of jobs in Veeco's Plainview, N.Y. and Somerset, N.J. facilities. We would like to thank the DOE for this grant, and to acknowledge the support of Congressman Steve Israel, who represents New York's 2
Congressional District and Congressman Rush Holt, who represents New Jersey's 12
Congressional District. Both Congressmen are strong proponents of the advancement of "green energy" technologies, and understand the importance of solid state lighting to significantly cut energy use, reduce our carbon footprint, and save money, as well as to create high-tech, value-added U.S. jobs." Veeco currently employs over 350 people in its Plainview and Somerset locations.
Rep. Israel commented, "This Recovery Act funding for Veeco will create new jobs in our growing clean technology industry while helping develop new technologies that will save American consumers money. Boosting efficiency is all about giving consumers a strong return on investment. Veeco is working to do just that by reducing the cost of efficient lighting while building the industry on Long Island."
"This is good news, and I congratulate Veeco for receiving this funding. In a few years, LED lighting will be everywhere, and New Jersey should be in the forefront of creating the jobs that will make it happen," added Rep. Holt.
In total the Department of Energy awarded more than $37 million in funding for solid state lighting programs. Veeco's proposal was one of eight selected as part of U.S. Manufacturing FOA DE-FOA-0000057, projects focused on achieving significant cost reductions and enhancing quality through improvements in SSL manufacturing equipment, processes or monitoring techniques. Projects address the technical challenges that must be overcome before prices fall to a level where solid state lighting will be competitive with existing lighting on a first-cost basis. The total value of manufacturing selections is $23.5 million; the performers will provide an average of 51% as cost-share.

أخبار الفريق الأول
Kompany: The goal was worth the wait
Vincent Kompany said his first goal in 20 months had been worth the wait after the central defender's second-half header helped inspire Man City to a vital 3-0 win at Southampton.
Back in the starting line-up after missing last week's Etihad win over Hull, Kompany produced a magnificent all-round display which was capped by a 54th-minute header which set City on their way to a hugely impressive Premier League triumph.
It was Kompany's first goal for the club since an effort against Chelsea back in August 2015. Since then he has been bedevilled by injury, making just 21 starts in 102 City games.
Now restored to full fitness, the Belgian demonstrated just what it meant both to him and the team in the way he joyfully celebrated after scoring his goal.
Kompany said: "For me it's always a long journey back [to fitness]. I would have liked to be injured less in my career but every single time I put in the hard work and don't really complain too much about what's happening to me and just carry on.
"It's up and downs but, ultimately, what gets you up is the fact you keep looking towards your objective and I know the season is long.
"I know that such moments are worth working for. If I had to work 15 years just to have one moment like this, I would do it, not a problem. I'm really happy and I want to stay in there.
"When this happens, I feel I'm giving something back to the fans. I feel I'm finally giving something back to the team as well and that's what you see in those moments."
It was a crucial victory in terms of City's push to cement their place in the top four, moving the Club above Liverpool into third place and opening up a seven point gap over Everton and Manchester United who are in fifth and sixth place respectively.
And with an FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal next on the horizon – followed by an Etihad derby against United – Kompany knows the big games will keep coming thick and fast.
The City skipper added: "We're delighted with the clean sheet and the performance. It's an extremely hard place to come and to get such a result, all of us are proud. And our fans will be happy.
"We knew this game was massive for us. That's why there's so much pressure on us so to come here and have such a performance, everyone in the team deserves top, top marks for that.
"We're doing something well and for our team it's this process of improving and today it's looking that way."
And looking ahead to the Wembley clash against Arsenal and the United derby, Kompany quipped: "I love the FA Cup and I love a derby!"

I'm experiancing an annoying glitch with Outlook that I have set to automatically roll-up.
I'll click the "New Mail Message" button and the "New Mail Message" window opens and is active. Then when my mouse leaves the Outlook windows it rolls up and becomes active again.
So when I'm replying or starting a new e-mail, the Outlook windows rolls-up, and it's not until I start typing that I realise the Mail Message window doesn't have focus and Outlook is receiving my key presses.
From my testing, Outlook will only steal focus back from it's own windows (New Message, New Task, Address Book etc). It won't steal focus from any other applications when it rolls-up. I'm not sure if this is related to Outlook being one of the application that has a set minimum height.

Aluminum hydroxide is commonly used off label to treat high phosphate levels in pets with kidney disease. It is given by mouth, with meals, in the form of a liquid gel, powder, or a compounded capsule. The most common side effect is constipation, and therefore should be used in caution with pets with a gastrointestinal obstruction or pets prone to constipation. If a negative reaction occurs, please call your veterinary office.
Many owners of small mammals are surprised to learn that all pets need at least an annual checkup. Exotic pet veterinarians typically recommend check-ups at least once a year for young, healthy pets and twice a year for geriatric animals. During a check-up your veterinarian may recommend diagnostic testing, including blood testing, fecal analysis, microbiological testing, and radiography. While most of diagnostic tests can be performed on awake animals, depending on the species and temperament of the pet, some exotic pet veterinarians recommend performing these tests under short-acting gas anesthesia.
Atenolol is used off label and given by mouth to treat certain heart conditions in dogs, cats, and ferrets. Common side effects include tiredness and stomach upset. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to beta-blockers, heart failure, heart block, low heart rate, or certain lung disease. If a negative reaction occurs, please call your veterinary office.
Azathioprine is an immune suppressing medication given by mouth or as an injection and is mainly used off label to treat immune-mediated diseases in dogs. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset and bone marrow suppression. This medication should not be used in pets that are allergic to azathioprine or are pregnant. It should be used with caution in pets with liver or kidney disease. If a negative reaction occurs, please call your veterinary office.
Buprenorphine is used on and off label and is given by mouth into the cheek or injection to treat pain or as a preanesthetic. The most common side effect is sleepiness. Do not use in pets that are allergic to it or other opioids, or in pets being treated with amitraz. If a negative reaction occurs, please call your veterinary office.
Carprofen is used on and off label and is given by mouth in the form of a tablet to treat pain and inflammation. The most common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Do not use this medication in pets with bleeding disorders, in pets that are allergic to it or other NSAIDs in the same class, or in pets concurrently using corticosteroids or other NSAIDs. If a negative reaction occurs, please call your veterinary office.
Chinchillas require a high fiber diet and should be offered grass hay (such as Timothy hay or other low calcium hays such as orchard grass, oat hay, or meadow hay) free choice (available 24 hours a day). Hay should be the main component of their diet. Fresh clean water must be available at all times.
The cage should allow the chinchilla to move around a lot, as they are very active, agile, and acrobatic animals. Multilevel cages, similar to those designed for ferrets, work well, as long as there are no areas where a chinchilla could get its limbs or feet caught. Most owners house one or two pets in a cage; often the two pets are mates. Chinchillas require a dust bath for normal grooming. Cages should be emptied and cleaned at least weekly with soap and water.
Chinchillas can make fun, enjoyable pets. The chinchilla is a rodent closely related to the guinea pig. They originate from South America where they live in the Andes Mountains.
Generally speaking, chinchillas are fairly hardy animals. However, they do have several unique problems, and understanding these problems will allow you to better care for your pet and minimize future health care problems. These include fur slip, antibiotic sensitivity, teeth problems, heat stroke, skin problems, and dust bathing for normal grooming.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are one of the hottest acts on pop radio these days, having scored No. 1 hits with the lighthearted novelty song "Thrift Shop" and its bouncy follow-up "Can't Hold Us."
That is no small feat for a rap duo from Seattle without a major-label contract, but their single "Same Love" has the potential to be groundbreaking in a different way: it is the first song to explicitly embrace and promote gay marriage that has made it into the Top 40, gay-rights advocates and radio executives said.
"The fact that a song solely dedicated to the message of marriage equality is climbing the charts and quickly becoming a popular song across the country is a big deal," said Charlie Joughin, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, the largest gay rights organization. "It's indicative of a changing attitude."
Radio programmers say "Same Love" seems to have captured the nation's mood, reflecting growing support among young adults for gay marriage in polling. It also hit the charts in February, just as several states began taking up the issue and the Supreme Court was considering challenges to the federal Defense of Marriage Act and to California's ban on same-sex marriage.
On Wednesday, the same day the Supreme Court handed historic victories to same-sex couples in both cases, "Same Love" rose to No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, up from No. 65 three weeks ago. On the strength of online streaming more than airplay, the song was No. 5 on the Rap Songs chart, where lyrics in support of gay rights are almost unheard-of. Sales of the single surged 23 percent last week from the previous week to a total of more than 788,000 copies, and views of the single's video on YouTube had approached 53 million by Sunday.
Several radio programmers say surveys of listeners predict the song will continue to rise. "It's been phenomenal," said Tom Poleman, the president for national programming at Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, which operates 850 stations. "Everything we are seeing shows it's going to be another monster hit for them."
Support for gay rights is certainly not a new phenomenon in pop music. Frank Ocean, a singer in the hip-hop collective Odd Future, broke down barriers in R&B last year when he released "Channel Orange," an album with songs about his love for a man. Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" was a chart-topping song in 2011 that generally affirmed acceptance of homosexuality, and artists like Katy Perry, Fun and Kacey Musgraves have made support for gay rights part of their public personas.
Going farther back, Melissa Etheridge, who is openly gay, scored Top 10 hits in the 1990s with songs about her lesbian relationships, "Come to My Window" and "I'm the Only One."
But Macklemore has offered up an overtly political message in favor of gay marriage from the point of view of a straight man. "This is a song that has the most unequivocal pro-equality message to ever be expressed in a major single, and it's really reached a wide range of audiences," said Rich Ferraro, a spokesman for GLAAD, a gay-right organization that tracks media.
In the song, Macklemore takes other rappers to task for using gay slurs, ties abusive language to bullying of gay teenagers and mocks religious leaders for opposing gay marriage. He states plainly where he stands on the marriage question: "No freedom till we're equal/ Damn right I support it." Then Mary Lambert, an openly lesbian singer, delivers a stirring chorus over Mr. Lewis's lush piano. "I can't change even if I tried," she sings, and "My love/ My Love/ My Love/ She keeps me warm/ She keeps me warm."
In a telephone interview, Macklemore said he composed the rap in March 2012 after reading a news article about a teenager who committed suicide after being bullied. He said he thought the epithets routinely heard in rap music might be partly to blame, and that denying gay adults the right to marry might also contribute to despair among gay teenagers. He also wanted to write a song, he said, to support his two gay uncles and his gay godfather in Seattle, all of whom are in committed relationships.
"I just wanted to hold myself accountable and hold hip-hop accountable and bring up an issue that was being pushed under the rug," he said.
From the start, the duo intended "Same Love" to have a political impact. Released as a single in July 2012, they offered it as a theme song to groups working to pass Referendum 74, which legalized same-sex marriage in Washington State. Some profits from the single were donated to the advocacy group Washington United for Marriage. In October, Macklemore and Mr. Lewis released a video for the song with a rosy depiction of a gay marriage that political organizers said helped influenced the vote.
The same month, Ellen DeGeneres, who is gay, invited the duo to perform the song on her show. Still, the single probably would have faded into obscurity after the state referendum had Macklemore and Mr. Lewis not had a surprise radio hit with "Thrift Shop," a comic song about the joys of bargain hunting. When that song hit No. 1 in February, it created a fierce demand for more tracks, radio executives said.
In March, the duo's radio promoters started urging radio stations to play "Can't Hold Us," a playful rap about having success without a major label deal that eventually rose to No. 1 in early May.
A few stations went a different direction. Jeb Freedman, a disc jockey and programmer at the alternative rock station KTCL in Denver, passed over "Can't Hold Us" and decided to spin "Same Love" instead. The song had moved him, he said, and seemed timely because a bill allowing gays to enter civil unions was up for a vote in the Colorado Legislature. "We poll our audience constantly with Web surveys, and the response was unbelievably positive," he said. "I thought it was going to be polarizing, but it wasn't."
Mr. Freedman persuaded program directors at alternative stations in Los Angeles and Dallas to play the record, and stations in San Francisco and Seattle then followed suit.
By May, "Can't Hold Us" was cresting to No. 1, and Top 40 and Rhythmic stations in several big cities had begun dropping "Same Love" into their playlists, often pegging it to political events. KROQ in Los Angeles added it the day of the Supreme Court hearings on California's Proposition 8. KDWB in Minneapolis played the record the same week that Minnesota approved gay marriage. By last week it was playing on about 260 stations.
So far urban hip-hop stations have been slow to add "Same Love" to their rotations, although it has been getting airplay on a few, like WPGC in Washington, D.C. Peter Rosenberg, a D.J. on Hot 97 in New York, said his listeners had applauded his decision to play the song on his Sunday night show. He predicts that "Same Love" will become a hit on urban radio, too.
"I'm not saying that no one will resist," he said. "Hip-hop still has some catching up to do on this issue."

What are the benefits?
In this tutorial I will do a line by line walk through of both syntax of Arrays, and commonly used
code with arrays. It will answer the above questions, and it also contains examples, fully commented so you
can compile and run them so see the results.
An array is a data structure that can hold multiple elements and can be used to index through the
contents of the data. I will not go into the actual structure and what goes on behind the scenes in
this tutorial.
This is what you generally call the contents of the data blocks that you create when you make
an array. They can be referred to as many different things, but for the purposes of this tutorial I
will be referring to them as elements.
This is how you control where you read/write to your array. For example array[x] x would
be known as the index. When you are using a for loop or other loop structure to easily read/write to large
arrays, this is known as indexing through the array. IMPORTANT: Array indexes range from 0
as the first position, to one less than the array length. For example, declaring new array[5]
will have valid indexes of 0 to 4.
The Dimension of an array is simply how many sets of [] you have. As you have more dimensions,
how you deal with arrays becomes equally more complicated.
These definitions may seem a little vague now, but the rest of the tutorial will explain in more detail.
First Let's Start with Declaration:
/** * @author Mike Magnus */ public class ArrayTutorial { public static void main(String[] args) { /* *************************** * PART 1: Declaring Arrays ** * *************************** */ /* METHOD 1 * Here I will declare an int array. * You could do this with any data type, simple or complex * * All the elements of this array are initialized to 0 by default */ int[] array = new int[5]; System.out.print(array[0] + "\n"); /* METHOD 2 * This way provides initial values for the arrays */ int[] array2 = {1,2,3,4,5}; System.out.print(array2[0] + "\n"); System.out.print(array2[1] + "\n"); System.out.print(array2[2] + "\n"); System.out.print(array2[3] + "\n"); System.out.print(array2[4] + "\n"); /* METHOD 3 * Similar to method 1, but some people prefer this */ final int SIZE = 5; int[] array3 = new int[SIZE]; } }
Let's Take a closer look at the Method 1 declaration and break it down:
This tells Java that you would now like to make a reference to an array.
This does NOT create the array, in English this would say "I would like to hold the address*
of an array."
*When talking about anything other than primitive data types (eg. int, char, double, etc.) the variables
you declare are not actually holding data, but they are holding memory addresses. Just remember that
you cannot use these addresses without telling Java to make something and then store the address
in your variable. Don't worry about what this actually stores, think of it just like a regular address,
it allows your program to find things.
Notice that there are not square brackets beside this. Right now array is ready to
hold the address of where the array will actually be in your memory.
= new int[5];
This statement does a number of things. The statement tells Java that you would like to make a new
array of int with 5 elements. To remember this, it should look identical to the first statement,
except now you are required to specify the number of elements you want your array to have, because you
are now telling Java to build your array. You must specify the number of elements or you WILL get
a compiler error.
When initializing arrays like this, for int arrays they will be initialized with 0 in all the
elements. Depending on the array type the initial contents may vary, so never depend on the
Let's now take a quick look at Method 2:
int[] array2 = {1,2,3,4,5};
Here instead of directly telling Java to make an array using the
new keyword, we are submitting a set of numbers that then creates the array and initializes it.
So with this declaration you choose what elements are initialized to, and Java sets the array size depending
on that.
Here you will see that the number set is surrounded by braces, and the elements are
separated by commas. The size of this array will correspond to how many elements you include in the braces.
This declaration has 5 elements.
Let's take a quick look at Method 3 for declaring Arrays:
int[] array3 = new int[SIZE];
Now the only real difference is that I used a constant variable to set the size of the variable.
This is a very common practice and you will likely see this quite often.
Now if you haven't already, compile and run this code and see exactly what is output.
**************************************Assigning Values**********************************
The second part of this tutorial goes through the different ways that you can assign values
to elements:
/** * @author Mike Magnus */ public class ArrayTutorial2 { public static void main(String[] args) { int[] array = new int[5]; int[] array2 = {1,2,3,4,5}; final int SIZE = 5; int[] array3 = new int[SIZE]; /* ******************************** * PART 2: Simple Array Handling ** * ******************************** */ /* EXAMPLE 1 * Simple Number Input. */ array[0] = 5; //Assign the first element to be 5 array[1] = 4; //Assign the second element to be 4 array[2] = 3; //Etc. array[3] = 2; array[4] = 1; System.out.print(array[0] + " " + array[1] + " " + array[2] + " " + array[3] + " " + array[4] + "\n"); /* EXAMPLE 2 * Using a For Loop */ int cnt = 0; //I'll explain the reasoning for this for(cnt = 0; cnt < array2.length; cnt++) //Pay Attention Here too { array2[cnt] = cnt; //With the cnt variable I am now indexing through the array System.out.print(array2[cnt] + "\n"); } /* EXMAPLE 3 * Reversing the For Loop */ //Since cnt has already been declared I can't declare it again for(cnt = (array3.length - 1); cnt >= 0; cnt--) //Look at what exactly I did here { //Change the value of an array element array3[cnt] = cnt; //Print the result System.out.print(array3[cnt] + "\n"); } } }
Here I have given three examples of primitive ways of assigning values to elements.
array[0] = 5; //Assign the first element to be 5 array[1] = 4; //Assign the second element to be 4 array[2] = 3; //Etc. array[3] = 2; array[4] = 1;
This shows the most primitive and time consuming method of assigning values. Essentially you can
hard code the index position, and what value you would like to have there. You should notice that
this would cause problems if your array has 100's, or 1000's of elements, in which case we move onto
Example 2.
int cnt = 0; for(cnt = 0; cnt < array2.length; cnt++) { array2[cnt] = cnt; System.out.print(array2[cnt] + "\n"); }
This chunk is a little more complicated, so I'll break it down.
int cnt = 0;
I declare this outside of the for loop header because it is actually more memory and processor efficient.
When dealing with arrays at multiple positions in a program it can also prevent confusion related to
variable scope*. Essentially this will make your program run more efficiently,
and it will also prevent you from declaring ONE variable TWICE, which would cause a compiler error.
for(cnt = 0; cnt < array2.length; cnt++)
This is the most common header you will see with Arrays. If anything sticks here, let this be it.
Although it isn't necessary, it is a good habit to have to always have cnt = 0 in the for loop
header (but more preferably the name of the variable you are using to index).
It functions as a guarantee that you are starting to index from the first position.
Let's break this down further:
cnt < array2.length
This introduces a new concept, the array.length. Notice there ARE NOT any () after
length. This is because it is a variable, NOT a method. It returns the size of the array, but
the .length of the array is actually one higher than you can use as an index. This is
why our test uses < instead of <=. Your index should NEVER BE HIGHER THAN ONE LOWER
This causes the variable cnt to be increased by 1 at the end of every iteration.
array2[cnt] = cnt;
Here is why we use for loops. We use the cnt value as an index. The for loop is set up to
ensure that we get all the data in the array without indexing outside of the array. Now this
piece of code will do the following:
Set the element at position cnt to the value of 5 - cnt as the value of cnt increasing by
one with the index value.
Now as a whole, this chunk of code takes the array array2, assigns different values
to all of it's elements, and prints them out as they are assigned. This is because it shows
both functions of this type of for loop, writing AND reading from arrays. Now let's move onto
Example 3.
for(cnt = array3.length; cnt >= 0; cnt--)
We are only looking at the header for this loop, because all the other components are exactly the same
as example 2.
cnt = (array3.length - 1)
In this example, instead of starting at 0 and indexing up to one less than the length,
I am now doing the exact opposite. This piece sets the index variable to ONE LESS THAN THE LENGTH.
This is very important, because if you did this cnt = array3.length you would get an error.
cnt >= 0
The condition is making sure that you index up to and including zero. So it will read true until
the for loop has indexed through the entire array.
Simple operation that decreases the value of cnt by one at the end of every loop.
Same as cnt = cnt - 1 .
Remember to compile and run the code on your own computer to see the results, and then you can
tie that to what piece of code was responsible for the message.
*********************************Two Dimension Arrays*******************************
This third part of the tutorial covers the basics of Two Dimensional Arrays. What is a two dimensional Array?
Two Dimensional Arrays are arrays that have two indexes. To help understand them,
A two dimensional array is typically thought of to look like a table. Generally the first index is called
row and the second index is called col short for column.
/** * @author Mike Magnus */ public class ArrayTutorial3 { public static void main(String[] args) { /* ********************************* * Part 3: Multi-Dimension Arrays ** * ********************************* */ /* Method 1 * Static Rows and Columns */ int[][] array = new int[5][6]; /* Method 2 * Initializing to create */ int[][] array2 = {{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11,12},{13,14,15,16}}; /* Method 3 * Ragged Arrays */ int[][] array3 = new int[5][]; /* Example 1 * Writing with 2d arrays */ int row = 0; //The first index int col = 0; //The second index for(row = 0; row < array.length; row++) //For loop to deal with rows { for(col = 0; col < array[row].length; col++) //For loop to deal with columns { //Accesses the element at row, col, and stores the value of those two numbers multiplied. array[row][col] = row*col; } } /* Example 2 * Reading with 2d Arrays and a common problem */ for(row = 0; row < array2.length; row++) { //THE NEXT FOR LOOP IS AN ERROR, BUT IT WILL STILL RUN for(col = 0; col < array2[0].length; col++) //This line has something that may or may not cause an error { //Using Printf allows easy formatting without using number formatters System.out.printf("%2d ",array2[row][col]); } //Usually you will add new lines in this for loop System.out.print("\n"); } /* Example 3 * Making a ragged array */ for(row = 0; row < array3.length; row++) { array3[row] = new int[row + 1]; } /* Example 4 * Dealing with the danger of ragged arrays * and Ragged Array Structure */ for(row = 0; row <array3.length; row++) { //This is how you should always do the nested for loop for(col = 0; col < array3[row].length; col++) { System.out.print(array3[row][col] + " "); } System.out.print("\n"); } } }
As with before, I will break down all the new components of the code above.
Let's take a look at Method 1 for declaring two dimensional arrays:
int[][] array = new int[5][6];
So here we see the only real difference is that we are defining an int[][]. This is because
how ever many sets of [] determines the number of dimensions, as mentioned earlier.
Let's take a closer look at the array creation itself and what it means.
This is saying that we want an array with 5 rows and 6 columns. So how much data can this
array store? The number of elements can be determined by multiplying row * col. In this example
we have a total of 30 elements. Now, this type of declaration is not the only way to create two
dimensional arrays.
Let's take a look at Method 2:
int[][] array2 = {{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11,12},{13,14,15,16}};
This doesn't seem a lot different from the first example of this declaration type.
Pay attention to the number of braces, and the number of commas. The actual size of this array
would 4 rows and 4 columns. This gives a hint to the actual structure of two dimension,
and any multi-dimension array.
Now let's jump to Method 3:
int[][] array3 = new int[5][];
No, this is not an error. How can I do this?? Well, I can do this is because of what a two dimensional
actually array is. A two dimensional array is actually an array of arrays. So when we doing this it is
only necessary to declare the size of the highest level array. This gives us the ability to create
what are known as ragged arrays, or arrays with variable length rows. This will be shown more clearly in
the examples.
Now that you are familliar with the different methods to declaring two dimensional arrays, let's look
at operations handling these array structures.
Example 1:
int row = 0; //The first index int col = 0; //The second index for(row = 0; row < array.length; row++) //For loop to deal with rows { for(col = 0; col < array[row].length; col++) //For loop to deal with columns { //Accesses the element at row, col, and stores the value of those two numbers multiplied. array[row][col] = row*col; } }
So once again we see here that I am declaring my index variables here, outside of the for loops.
The first for loop has exactly the same header as last time, but now we have a nested for loop.
This is the key to dealing with two dimensional, and multi-dimensional arrays, you will almost
always need as many for loops as you have dimensions. Let's take a close look at the difference
in the nested for loop.
col < array[row].length
Now why would I do this instead of just array.length? Because as I said previously, not all rows
need to be the same length, and there probably will not be equal number of rows and columns. But why
couldn't you just do array[0].length? In this example I could, but getting into that habit would cause
problems, and that leads into example 2.
Example 2:
for(row = 0; row < array2.length; row++) { //THE NEXT FOR LOOP IS AN ERROR, BUT IT WILL STILL RUN for(col = 0; col < array2[0].length; col++) //This line has something that may or may not cause an error { //Using Printf allows easy formatting without using number formatters System.out.printf("%2d ",array2[row][col]); } //Usually you will add new lines in this for loop System.out.print("\n"); }
This chunk of code looks very similar, except we are now reading from an array. I have also
included a style error here. This code will compile and run properly, but any changes would likely
cause an error. This is because of the following statement.
col < array2[0].length
So this does work, in this case. Do not get into a habit of doing this, because likely at some point
you may deal with ragged arrays and this will cause errors in those cases. When doing this always use the
higher level index variable, such as row to get the length of the column.
System.out.printf("%2d ",array2[row][col]);
This is not a printf tutorial, but essentially I use this just to format the number input to be right
justified and have one space between values printed on the same row.
This appears inside the first loop because this will essentially construct the table look in a command prompt.
Using a simple read block like this will lay out your array data in a very easy to read format.
Example 3:
for(row = 0; row < array3.length; row++) { array3[row] = new int[row + 1]; }
This example is shearly to show how you can declare the size of the second dimension when dealing with
a ragged array. This shows the concept of array of arrays in a functioning context.
array3[row] = new int[row + 1];
Here you can see I am actually telling the program to store an array at array3[row].
I am telling it to make a new array, and I give it a varied size of row + 1.
This is what makes a ragged array uniquely functional, but also open to easy runtime errors.
Remember to always do what I showed you in this first and last examples. They second example is exactly the
kind of thing that crashes you at random points.
for(row = 0; row <array3.length; row++) { //This is how you should always do the nested for loop for(col = 0; col < array3[row].length; col++) { System.out.print(array3[row][col] + " "); } System.out.print("\n"); }
This is some serious code here. This is what you really want to stick to when dealing with any arrays. It's
that safest against errors and it's virtually the same length of code. Use smarter programming practices
and you will be a better programmer.
Let's break this block down a bit too.
for(col = 0; col < array3[row].length; col++)
Just to reinforce the importance of your nested for loop looking like this when reading and writing to any
two dimensional array algorithms.
System.out.print(array3[row][col] + " "); } System.out.print("\n"); }
This is just a fun little simple way to draw out an array so to speak. There are plenty of creative ways
you can use a two dimensional array to draw a neat looking table of numbers and letters, and you can even use
further nester statements to tweak the print out even more. You can get some really neat results when you
try to play around with tweaking some code, changing numbers for characters, and then have more complicated
things like entire strings, or even eventually cross word puzzles. Thats just how complex these things can
eventually get. That why you want to keep your code good and clean when your learning to code, because it
will make you more valuable in your profession as a programmer.
Structures that may be of variable length through code. You may have an array of
any datatype. Any object, any primitive datatype, in fact, even an array itself.
In Java you can have as many array dimensions as you want. There is no limit in java
so if you want to have 1,000,000 dimension array you could, but I would also reccomending have 32GB of ram
to start up java and store all those arrays.
For Loops
Most important control structure in relation to arrays. Helps both with looping and indexing directly, making
it ideal for the task at hand. Remember the two headers we had:
for(row = 0; row < array3.length ; row++)
for(col = 0; col < array3[row].length ; col++)
And for multi-dimensional arrays, all you do is keep nesting more variables inside of more for loops that
look identical to the second example, except it has another index location. That is really all you
need to know about the basics of dealing with arrays of almost any number of dimensions.
Thank you for reading, and I hope this tutorial was clear enough to help you from knowing the declartions of
arrays to knowing how to read and write to single, and multi-dimensional arrays.
