First Look: Chloe Sevigny Debuts Third Collection for Opening Ceremony
>> This Winter brings Chloe Sevigny's third collection to Opening Ceremony. The concept? Five dresses — a baby doll, a puff-sleeved minidress, an empire-waisted shift, a Peter Pan-collared frock, and a boxy dress — in five different prints — leopard, polka dot, paisley, houndstooth, and floral.
"I was just thinking about my closet and how I buy the same thing over and over again. I will buy one dress and want to have it made with different fabrics, so I thought why not try different silhouettes with different patterns, so people can choose a silhouette and have it in a variety of prints," Sevigny explained, adding: "These are prints that I always come back to."
There are also leather shorts, jeans, T-shirts done with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, square-toed boots reissued by NaNa Shoes ("I wore those combat boots growing up," Sevigny said), sunglasses by Barton Perreira, and tights printed by Fogal to match the dresses.
More images of the collection can be seen here.

The Bulls on Monday held their first practice at the United Center. Incoming players had an opportunity to get acclimated to their new digs, while the old players couldn't help but feel like something was missing.
"It's weird," Carlos Boozer told ESPN Chicago after Monday's practice without Derrick Rose. "It's a weird vibe. He comes in every day, though. He comes in every day."
Boozer said Rose is is "attacking his rehab like a monster trying to get back" then comes out to support and cheer on the team.
Rose has been a fixture at the Berto Center since coming back from his summer home in California and his presence has been encouraging for the rest of the team. But Monday was different because the team knows that when they play the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, D. Rose won't be taking the floor with them.
"It's crazy," Taj Gibson said. "Because usually just hearing him say small things like, 'Let's push. Championship.' Small things just to encourage you every day. So not having him is a big effect but we understand that he's pushing through."
Gibson said the team knows he'll be back soon.

Media Coverage
I wanted to take some time in my column this week to commend the job being done by the Wall Street Journal in covering the topic of employment and autism. A few years ago I started receiving Google Alerts on the topic of autism. This has given me the opportunity to get an email every morning with news and feature stories that are focused primarily on autism. One of the stories from the Wall Street Journal that really resonated was the recent "How Autism Can Help You Land a Job."
I'm a statistic nerd and so I collect data to use to make my case for developing employment opportunities for those on the spectrum. The WSJ article notes that, "…according to disability experts … 85% of adults with autism are estimated to be unemployed." It goes on to reference a study published last year in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry which indicates that only half of young autistic adults between the ages of 21 and 25 years old have ever held a paid job outside the home.
In addition, the article looks at how autism can be used as an asset if these companies play up to the interests of those individuals. The story goes on to discuss companies that are advocating for adults with autism in the workplace, such as German-based software company SAP, which has piloted programs in Germany, Ireland, India and at four of their offices in the United States. SAP's goal is to make one percent of their workforce consist of adults with autism by 2020, because of the unique assets these individuals bring to the workplace.
It also provides an example of a 29-year-old man with Asperger's syndrome named Patrick Brophy who was hired by SAP last July. According to the article, Brophy holds an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Multimedia Systems which include website development and editing. Brophy was looking for a full-time job for several years but had difficulty with interviewing. SAP looked past that and saw his skills.
Brophy's story reminded me a great deal of my own. We both received Master's degrees, we both are employed full-time, and we both have interests that help us succeed when given the opportunity.
Another WSJ article I would recommend is, "Training Program Helps Students with Autism Land Jobs."
I'm a firm believer that we need publications such as The Wall Street Journal to emphasize these types of stories and encourage others to do the same. The Centers for Disease Control recently came out with new autism prevalence numbers that indicate 1 in 68 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism. I worry that stories on children with autism will dominate these conversations for the entire month and that adult issues will be forgotten.
While we focus on the CDC statistic, I hope that other numbers—such as the 1 in 500,000 children with autism who will reach adulthood within the next decade—will share the media stage. This is necessary because as autistic children age, programs and services must become available to follow them throughout lifespan.
As we shine the Light on Autism for Autism Awareness Month let's hope each April in the future the light will become brighter and brighter with stories of successful employment of adults on the spectrum.

* Here is a video tutorial demonstrating the process of exporting and importing characters: https://youtu.be/CHn7jkM0UFQ
Please report any bugs, errors.
You can export and import (player characters only) from the previous ruleset. You can also import PCs/NPCs using the currently available GCA export to FG created by Saithan.
One feature which is not obviously clear, you can drag and drop Skills onto the attributes at the top of the skills section. This will perform an attribute based skill role using the skill's relative levels. eg To do an IQ based, Guns roll, to un-jam a rifle, simply drag and drop the appropriate skill onto the IQ box.

This looks quite amazing. I haven't played Gurps in many many years, but now I want to again!
I did run into an error:
Script Error: [string "campaign/scripts/npc_main.lua"]:35: attempt to index global 'traits' (a nil value)
That was just by making, locking / unlocking an npc. Might be due to the fact that I run the test version. Just wanted give a heads up on this.
Great work sir!

Thank you for the comment on my tree skirt. It is packed away with the Christmas stuff right now, but I think I just used tearaway on it for stabilizer.
Hi there. I live in San Antonio, Texas. I saw that you and four bus loads of ladies were going to the Houston quilt show. How exciting. Where do you usually shop locally for fabric?
Happy birthday, sweetie!

Hi there, I am so sorry that I have not responded to this letter. I guess I don't know how to find them now. I am in the Sugar Block Club although I haven't made any blocks yet. I seem to just cheer others on this year. LOL I will make those blocks in Sept. when we get home. Probably, the last week of Sept. I have a lot to do to catch up on blocks and quilts. OMG!! I am also on Craftsy. I think my name is JimsQueenie or JimsQueenie82 on Sugar Block Club and on Craftsy. Are you on Craftsy, too? Are you having any problems with getting your blocks to become 8-1/2" square? I have several friends here that are having issues. Okay, the ball is in your court. Is your name "Snippet" on Sugar Block Club? Piece and blessings, Vicki
I think I sent a message to myself somehow. Duh! Anyway, I did find the Sugar Block Club and joined. I haven't found the right fabric yet, so haven't made the January block yet. Hope to do that soon so I don't get too far behind.
Thank you for the nice comment on my quilt!

Wow, I have such good lessons that I will be submitting today, and two of them are tribal related. I will start by showing you guys "how to draw tribal dragons", step by step. Instead of going out and doing a full blown dragon drawing, I thought it would be cool to just draw a dragon in tribal form. I already have two different types of tribal dragons, and if you look under the tattoo section you will see a bunch of various lessons on tribal tattoos. At first I was going to draw two of the same dragons doing some kind of crazy pose. But after that was a failed attempt, I tried drawing a sketch of one dragon body with two heads. At first that design looked cool, but I could tell it would make a very complex lesson to follow. After sitting for about five minutes, I came up with the sketch you see before you now. I have to tell you, if it wasn't for those two failed tribal designs, I wouldn't have conjured up this one that I'm making a tutorial out of. The lesson should be moderately easy to tackle, which means you too can draw tribal dragons of your own. What I like about this tribal dragon design, is the fact that it looks almost like a silhouette of a mighty dragon from the side view. One of my favorite things about this drawing, is the wings, they came out to be one of the highlights of the sketch. You can choose to do a different body pose if you don't like the simple design I drew. But if you want to stick with the lessons design 100%, than you should have no problems learning "how to draw tribal dragons", step by step. I have to get on outta here because there is still five more lessons that needs to be uploaded. I promise they will be cool. Peace out people, and have an awesome drawing day!

IT Trends | Feature
Higher ed chief information officers discuss their changing role on campus.
If one thing is constant in the world of the higher education chief information officer, it's change. Once seen as the plumber keeping networks and systems running, the CIO has morphed into a strategist, helping his or her institution keep up with technologies that are fundamentally changing the business of teaching and learning.
"The best CIOs are emerging as digital guides that universities are turning to for key leadership to drive that transformation," noted Gartner research analyst Terri-Lynn Thayer. "They have a different skill set as brokers, facilitators and change leaders."
Campus Technology interviewed five CIOs about the perceptions of their changing role on campus, asking them to give examples of how they delegate, mentor, collaborate and strategize more than they used to. In part 1 of our series, University of Michgan CIO Laura Patterson tells us how she is driving change at her institution.
Laura Patterson, University of Michigan
At the University of Michigan, Laura Patterson has been CIO and associate vice president for information and technology services since 2009. She joined the institution in 1993 as the university registrar.
CT: Have you noticed a significant change in the university's expectations of you as CIO?
Patterson: There is definitely a shift in the role of the CIO from someone who manages technology to someone who manages change. The technology underlies everything the organization does, but it goes beyond that. If you look at what is happening in other industries, such as the newspaper industry, movie distribution, music — that kind of disruption is also occurring in higher education. And the CIO is at the core of that, because it is technology-driven change. It involves massive cultural change in the way we think about what we do and how we do it.
CT: You came to the CIO role from the registrar's position at Michigan after working on enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations. Has that career path shaped your vision of the CIO?
Patterson: Yes, it has. We did three ERP implementations in five years across three campuses and in our hospital. We had multiple student information systems, multiple financial systems and general ledger systems. It was a huge cultural change moving from all these decentralized, distributed systems into a single core system and thinking about the university's data as infrastructure for decision-making and planning.
Now we are moving to the next paradigm of technology driving change, which is cloud and consumer-driven. As far as the CIO choosing the technology you use — that role is gone. That is why I see the CIO as the person at the table who leads the organization in strategic change.
CT: Is part of the trend getting more directly involved in teaching and learning technology?
Patterson: For the past eight to 10 years, there was a big focus on leveraging technology to drive down costs of administration. That was the premise behind ERP and business intelligence — better decision-making and better planning. Now the paradigm for how research is conducted is changing because of capabilities that technology has introduced, and the teaching and learning pedagogies are changing because of the technology. So the true mission of the university [teaching, learning and research] is now the focus.
CT: You've undertaken a multiyear effort to create the next-generation IT environment at Michigan. What has that involved?
Patterson: A few years ago, we saw that we were spending significantly above the benchmark for research universities, and a significant portion of that spending was going to redundant and commodity services and infrastructure support. Every department on campus was basically running its own infrastructure. We realized the direction that these technology-driven changes were headed could not be supported in that model. So we launched NextGen Michigan, to create services running on a unified infrastructure that was also flexible enough to support local innovation. The goal was to drive down costs to free up the resources in the departments so that they were working with faculty on edge technologies and new innovation. Then as edge technologies in a department begin to take hold, we could more rapidly scale them across the university.
CT: You have created an IT Council to set campuswide IT priorities. Why is it so important to focus on outreach, collaboration and community?
Patterson: The IT Council has been absolutely critical to the success of NextGen Michigan and the type of cultural change we are trying to achieve. There are 19 schools and colleges at Michigan. We could have said we will have one representative from each of these and one from each administrative area. Instead, we organized the council by the mission domains of the university such as research; teaching and learning; and knowledge preservation. We named respected faculty leaders for each of these domains and they worked across the university in their domain. The IT Council has helped move thinking away from unit-by-unit needs to what the university as an enterprise needs and what are the most critical investments we can be making in technology. It has proven to be quite effective in setting strategy and building alignment of IT to the university's highest priorities.
CT: Are disruptive changes forcing you to be more collaborative with other higher education CIOs?
Patterson: We are in an era in which no single university is going to meet the challenges alone. Universities working together to meet demands of the future will be a critical part of our success. Right now we are talking with other universities about working on a collaborative project on the future teaching and learning environment. It is time that the CIOs work together to think about things that can and should be done at scale across many of our universities. We have to be more open to collaboration across the industry as we look at the changes driven by research and teaching and learning at scale — learning analytics particularly.
Coming Next: Southern Illinois University CIO David Crain talks about IT's role in strategic initiatives on campus.

CALGARY -- A Calgary real estate agent has stirred up controversy with a suggestive billboard.
The Re/Max advertisement features a closeup photograph of Diana Arvatescu and the invitation: "Let me take you home. It's gorgeous inside.''
Some industry experts say they are concerned with the tone of the ad, given the ongoing safety campaigns to protect women hosting open houses alone.
Doug Firby of the Calgary Real Estate Board says women in the business need to be aware of potential risks.
He says the board offers advice on what it thinks are the best practices for agents, and he doesn't think the ad fits into that category.
The advertisement is also concerning to Jeff Buziak, whose daughter Lindsay, a real estate agent, was murdered after being lured to an open house.
Five years after her death, he continues to advocate for more safety measures.
"It scares me that anyone would want to put an invitation out there,'' Buziak says. "As subtle as it might be or humorous as some might think it is, I do believe it's an invitation, opening the door for something else that is not real estate.''
"I was very surprised to see something so sexually inviting and provocative,'' says Mary Valentich, a social work professor at the University of Calgary.
"It's a misguided effort to communicate selling houses -- she's selling herself and I don't think women need to do that.''
Arvatescu says she stands by her ad but would not comment further.
Her supporters say the billboard is a clever way for the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Realtor to stand out among her competitors.
"If there's a couple driving by, the husband is going to like her and the wife says no,'' says Andrey Butenko, a mortgage specialist.
"But if they're looking for a professional and it proves she is a professional, I am sure they will go that way.''

Digital Music in Your Car
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
The beauty of a digital music collection is having the ability to carry an entire library of tunes around in your pocket. These days it's easier than ever to bring your digital music files into the car, too. Whether you store your tunes on your iPhone® or Android smartphone, keep them on a portable music player like an iPod®, burn them to discs, or rip them to a USB thumb drive, there are a variety of adapters and connection solutions available to help you enjoy your music on your car stereo.
Consider the options:
- Play MP3, WMA, or AAC-encoded discs directly on the stereo
- Connect an iPod to a compatible receiver and get full control over your tunes and playlists right on the receiver's display, using the receiver's controls
- Connect another type of portable music player to your car stereo via a wired adapter or Bluetooth® connection, listening through your car speakers and often even controlling playback with the radio
- Use a removable storage device like an SD Card or a thumb drive to play your files on a compatible car stereo
- Take advantage of stereos with built-in memory that let you store songs directly onto a hard drive or flash memory
Digital media receivers
Have you digitized your entire music collection? If you're CD-free, check out our selection of digital media receivers. These in-dash receivers are totally geared toward digital music, with no CD slot. Instead, they have USB inputs, auxiliary jacks, built-in hard drives, or SD™-card slots — or a combination of those features. Many offer built-in iPod control and Bluetooth® connectivity. They're a great option if you know you won't be needing a CD player.
Be sure to check out the Peripherals Installation Guide for tips on how to connect many of these adapters and external players to your car stereo system.
MP3/WMA-compatible car stereos
If you prefer to store your digital music files on CD-R/RW discs, a compatible stereo might be your best bet. It'll play your files back directly — letting you to store up to 10 hours of music on a single disc — and let you shuffle through various tracks and folders on the fly. On the downside, you'll likely be limited by the file formats that your stereo can play back. Most car stereos are compatible with MP3 and WMA, and many can also handle AAC files. A few can even play lossless formats like WAV or Apple Lossless.
What to look for in a car stereo with digital music compatibility
- Search functions: With up to 250 songs on any one CD-R/RW disc — or well over 1000 on a DVD — intuitive file navigation is crucial. You'll want to be able to jump quickly between files and folders to find what you want to hear. Some stereos offer rotary knobs that allow you to spin through titles quickly, while others use buttons.
- Display: Depending on your stereo's capabilities, a large, readable display will show off file and track names as well as artist and album information, making it easy to quickly see what you're listening to. Look for a stereo that can handle CD and MP3 text information (ID3 tags) and offers multiple lines of display text. Big double-DIN (4" tall) receivers with in-dash monitors obviously offer the best display capabilities — some even feature touch-screen controls.
- File format support: Make sure you choose a stereo that can play the music file format (e.g. MP3, WMA, AAC, etc.) that dominates your collection. Remember, most car stereos will not play the protected music files that you buy from online stores like iTunes and Napster.
- Sound shaping controls: Due to the "lossy" nature of compressed digital audio (which results in the omission of certain audio information deemed unimportant or inaudible), the sound-shaping capabilities of your in-dash stereo can play a big role in getting the best sound from your files. All in-dash receivers feature some form of tone shaping, starting with simple bass and treble controls. Many offer other features like:
a USB 2.0 connection that bypasses your iPod's digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for superior sound
processing tools that revitalize your compressed tunes
a "loudness" setting for fuller sound at low volumes
bass boost or a bass enhancer for punchy low-end performance
multi-band equalizers for precision fine-tuning
What are the options for portables?
USB input: Most new brand-name car stereos have a USB input, so you can connect a portable player with a USB connection directly to your car system. USB inputs are also perfect for thumbdrives. USB inputs will usually charge portable devices, too. Most stereos also have built-in iPod control, so you can control your iPod on the stereo's face while keeping the iPod's battery charged. Give us a call or check your receiver's documentation to see if your stereo's USB input allows for full iPod control.
Aux-In: If your stereo has an auxiliary input jack, you can easily connect your portable player directly to your car system. Just run a cable between your player's headphone or line-out jack and the stereo's Aux-In, and you're all set. You won't be able to control playback from the radio, but you'll be able to listen to your tunes through the car speakers and enjoy the best possible sound.
Bluetooth® wireless connection: Using Bluetooth technology, several car audio makers now let you stream files directly into your stereo via a wireless digital connection. You still won't be able to control playback from the stereo, but the sound quality is as good as you'll get from a wired Aux-In connection, with the convenience and flexibility of a wireless set-up.
Wired FM modulator: If your stereo doesn't have an auxiliary input, you can still set up a wired connection that will give you reasonably good sound quality. A wired FM modulator installs between your factory antenna and your radio, allowing you to listen to the music on your player by tuning your radio to a specific frequency. Sound quality isn't as good as a full wired connection.
Wireless FM transmitter: Using the same technology as a wired FM modulator but offering "installation-free" convenience, a wireless transmitter will let you connect a portable player to any FM radio. Sound quality is less than ideal, but the convenience factor is high.
Cassette adapter: If you have a cassette player in your car, a cassette adapter offers a quick-and-dirty connection option that will let you listen to any external source through your stereo. The adapter connects to your portable player's headphone jack.
Using removable media
When it comes to convenience, nothing beats the size and storage capacity of flash memory cards or USB thumb drives. They may not offer as much storage space as some portable players, but they make it easy to move a lot of music from place to place.
USB input: A lot of car stereos have USB inputs, either on the faceplate or mounted to the back of the stereo. If you have a thumb drive, a front-mounted input is an easy way to listen on the road. All you have to do is connect the drive, select the song you want, and go. Most USB connections will even recognize file information and ID3 tags, so you can scroll through song titles and artist names as you would on your computer. You can also use the USB input to connect a compatible portable player or even a portable hard drive.
Memory card input: Some stereos have an SD™ card slot for playing digital files. An SD card is the size of a postage stamp and can hold hours worth of music, just like a thumb drive.
Using a hard-drive stereo
Built-in hard drives seem like they would be have a natural place in the car stereo world. A stereo with a built-in hard drive will occasionally show up in the market, but these stereos have never been very popular with consumers. When we already store our music in a portable form (like a thumb drive or iPod), going the extra step to move those music files into the stereo is unnecessary. If you find a stereo with built-in memory, make sure it will let you rip CDs quickly and offers file navigation features so you can find your tunes again.

Hi, my new car does not have a CD. I have been told to get an External Hard Drive, copy paste CD onto it and connect the EHD via USB into my car and I should be able to play the music. Can anyone confirm this and maybe give me some more detailed information. Thanks By the way, I am in AuastraliaAlexander H. from Crutchfield on 9/5/2019Dianne, your easiest solution would likely be to save your favorite music files to flash drive. If you have one handy or can borrow one, give it a try with a couple songs before you go to the effort of transferring a lot or all of your music.

I have a hard drive stereo ( AVIC-Z1) and love it. It also has dmedia inputs but I just insert cd, let it rip, then is always ready to playdiv>
Paul from ChicagoPosted on 5/9/2016
Jeff, you may want to adjust the bitrate on your converted files. When you convert a song from a cd to a MP3 file, you want to make sure that you convert them using higher bitrates. 128kbps is essentially "radio quality". You'll want the bitrate to be at least 256kbps to maintain "cd quality".div>

I agree - it's not like they have a choice. If you can't drive safely (busses) or get power to your trains (above ground stations) you're not left with many options. Better to have a few people grumble about the lack of service, than several get injured or threaten lawsuits as they are involved in accidents or stranded.
Where are you going to go today anyway? Everything is closed. Not to mention, employees can't get to work (Metro employees or otherwise).

Product Description
These beautiful evil eye earrings are made with an 8mm light blue glass evil eye bead and an 8mm light blue cats eye beads. The earrings are approx. 1 3/4 inches long.
Evil Eye Fact #43
In Rome, the belief in phallic charms called fascinum offered relief against evil eyes. The Cornicello is a long twisted horn amulet that is usually made out of coral, silver or gold. Ribald suggestions that were created by sexual symbols distracted the witch or warlock from the effort needed to work the curse. Many different phallic signs and symbols were used for those that didn't have phallic charms. Even hands and statuary of hands have these symbols or are covered with arcane symbols and carried as a talisman.
Evil Eye – A Brief Summary
The evil eye is a belief that a person can harm you, your children, or your belongings simply by looking at them with envy and praising them. Jealousy, envy, or praise can inflict all kinds of misfortune. The penetrating look is believed to cause illness, injury, or death upon its intentional or unintentional target. Most common is the belief that the evil eye can cause things to whither away or dry up -- the loss of crops, drying up of milk in nursing mothers, impotency in men, and illness among children, are all commonly attributed to the evil eye. The belief of the evil eye has no religious boundaries as it coexists with almost every religion from Christianity to Islam. It is in fact mentioned in the Old Testament and a big part of the Jewish folklore as well. Throughout history, the evil eye has affected the lives of many and has shaped many cultures in their beliefs and behavior. Baby clothes and cribs will feature an evil eye pin cars will have an evil eye hanging on the rear-view mirror while homes will have various forms of wall hanging evil eye throughout. Evil eye jewelry is a popular choice where an evil eye bracelet or an evil eye pendant as an accessory might be enough to void off the effects of the evil eye around you. The object is to protect your loved ones or your possessions from the effects of the evil eye. Today, belief in the evil eye is very much alive, especially so in Italy, Greece, Turkey, India, South America, and the Arab world. All these cultures have different names for the Evil Eye from "Mal Ojo" in Spanish to "Baskania" in Greek. Indians call it "Drishtidosham and the Arabs call it"Ayin Harsha". Evil eye is also referred to as the Lucky eye perhaps to emphasize the positive effects of wearing a piece of evil eye jewelry where not only will it protect you from the onlookers but also bring you luck along the way. Regardless of the word or phrase they use to refer to it, one thing is for certain. While there are many who insist the evil eye is nothing more than good old-fashioned superstition, to the believers of the evil eye its powers are nothing to be taken lightly.

Aussie outfit to ship wristphone next month
Can SMS Tech succeed where Samsung, DoCoMo failed?
Many, many wristphones have been announced, but few if any have come to market. According to Aussie company SMS Technology, that will change next month when it ships the M300, a tri-band GSM/GPRS wristwatch phone, in its native land.
The phone sports a 1in colour display, contains 64MB of memory and incorporates Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. It has an MP3 and MPEG 4 media player on board too, SMS said. The company claims the watch delivers up to 3.33 hours' talk time and 80 hours in stand-by mode.
SMS' launch target is Q1 for Australia - the M300 will cost AUD650 ($510/£261/€388), it said - with overseas availability coming in April. It expects the device to ship in the UK, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, France, Portugal and Poland on 25 April.
But it doesn't end there. SMS is planning a follow up the M501, a version made from gold and titanium, which it's hoping to ship in June. Five months later, in November, it hopes to have a business-centric version, the M700, on sale. The M700 will support "Outlook and Office synchronisation", SMS said, though we're unsure how much value there'll be in viewing Excel spreadsheets on a 1in LCD...
We wish the company luck. Past attempts at shipping a wristphone have failed, most notably Samsung's offering, announced in May 2003 but killed off long before its planned December 2003 release. Japan's NTT DoCoMo announced the Wristomo wristphone about the same time as Samsung unveiled its product. Wristomo too seems to have never made to market - if it did, it didn't stay there for long.

Hello, I have a class the purpose of which is to grab the HTML from a given URL or set of URLs that I hardcode in it. I have a JSP that I was given that already does this. I was told that I need to put it in a normal Java file so I can run it and test it and my code can be put where it belongs by another developer. So far I've worked a lot of the kinks out but I'm a little confused by what I got on another forum. Below is my code:
It is giving me some errors on pageContext, session, Globals, Constants, and out saying they cannot be resolved or cannot be resolved to a variable and I was told by extracting a delegate class to do the work you avoid pageContext and session and for the most part you avoid Globals and Constants. They said I would need to create some new methods for this but didn't give much more information to which I asked:import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.net.URLConnection; import java.util.Locale; public class htmlOutput { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { pageContext.setAttribute("enBean","en"); Locale locale = (Locale) session.getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY); if (locale == null) { locale = new Locale(Constants.LOCALE_EN); } // Setting the session attribute indicating entry from index page session.setAttribute(Constants.ENTER_FROM_INDEX, new Boolean(true)); URL headerURL; URLConnection headerURLConnection; BufferedReader br; String inputLine; try { headerURL = new URL("*"); headerURL = new URL("*"); headerURL = new URL("*"); headerURLConnection = headerURL.openConnection(); br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(headerURLConnection.getInputStream())); while ((inputLine = br.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(inputLine); } } catch (MalformedURLException me) { System.out.println("MalformedURLException: " + me); } catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("IOException: " + ioe); }finally{ br.close(); } //Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("./html_compare.ksh"); } }
I know I'll need multiple methods. I guess the thing that confuses me are things like:
Should pageContext be a method and therefore this would be an object of that method?
For this what should session, Globals and Constants be? Should they also be separate methods and therefore I'm calling objects?Locale locale = (Locale) session.getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY); if (locale == null) { locale = new Locale(Constants.LOCALE_EN);
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

This artist's illustration shows an enormous halo of hot gas (in blue) around the Milky Way galaxy. Also shown, to the lower left of the Milky Way, are the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, two small neighboring galaxies (roll your mouse over the image for labels). The halo of gas is shown with a radius of about 300,000 light years, although it may extend significantly further.
Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory was used to estimate that the mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy. If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it could be the solution to the "missing-baryon" problem for the Galaxy.
In a recent study, a team of five astronomers used data from Chandra, ESA's XMM-Newton, and Japan's Suzaku satellite to set limits on the temperature, extent and mass of the hot gas halo. Chandra observed eight bright X-ray sources located far beyond the Galaxy at distances of hundreds of millions of light years. The data revealed that X-rays from these distant sources are selectively absorbed by oxygen ions in the vicinity of the Galaxy. The nature of the absorption allowed the scientists to determine that the temperature of the absorbing halo is between 1 million and 2.5 million Kelvins.
Other studies have shown that the Milky Way and other galaxies are embedded in warm gas, with temperatures between 100,000 and one million degrees, and there have been indications that a hotter component with a temperature greater than a million degrees is also present. This new research provides evidence that the mass in the hot gas halo enveloping the Milky Way is much greater than that of the warm gas.
I understand elevated temperature enables particle detection by Chandra. Please explain how very hot gases can persist in the space. The same space just above our atmosphere is quite cold.
Posted by C A Young on Tuesday, 01.19.16 @ 18:56pm
Wow, that's amazing I didn't know that or even imagine that our Galaxy is embedded in an enormous halo of hot gas, that's so interesting, but can we get more information about the dark energy? because it represent I think more than the half of universe and it play an important role.
Posted by NASAFan on Saturday, 07.5.14 @ 08:42am
To Back who asked how the galaxy got so far away: The Big Bang theory as it presently exists is said to have included a period of "hyperinflation" of the (small--then suddenly large) universe very early in its history.
In addition, measurements made about a decade ago showed that even now the expansion of the universe is continuously accelerating.
Posted by Leonard on Wednesday, 08.22.12 @ 00:36am
Hi Bach,
Actually the age of the universe as I have read in many books is close to 14 billion years old.
Interesting question though and hope it gets answered by one of the Chandra team.

I have a simple question. With all the talk about the universe having started with a massive explosion and it being ONLY 12 Billion years old? can some please explain the following deduction.
Let's take this galaxy 1.1 LY away. Let's also assume the objects exploded at an average speed of 10M mph. In order for this galaxy to get that far away from us would take it 720B years. How then can the universe be only 12 B years old? Appreciate an explanation

What is very interesting is the difference between a cluster galaxy and field galaxy but a middle supermassive black hole, it don't depend on the quantity and type of mater eated, what kind of star make a massive black hole, white dwarf, red magnestar, neutron star, this observation may show us that a super black hole isn't an evolution from a new black hole but depend of primaries state.

Of utmost importance. If the AGN in our Milky Way is active, its radiation could destroy lifeformes on planets on a large scale. May be also on earth. This means destruction could be possible apart from destruction due to events in our planetary system and on earth.
Posted by H van Astenrode on Tuesday, 12.21.10 @ 10:57am
That is most interesting. So, has our galaxy been active like this in its past according to the above information?
There is so much to learn, how Astronomy and Astrophysics has grown over the past Century. A very complex subject.
