Introduction to Immutables
Last modified: October 23, 2019
1. Introduction
In this article we will be showing how to work with the Immutables library.
Immutables consists of annotations and annotation processors for generating and working with serializable and customizable immutable objects.
2. Maven Dependencies
In order to use Immutables in your project, you need to add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your pom.xml file:
<dependency> <groupId>org.immutables</groupId> <artifactId>value</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>
As this artifact is not required during runtime, so it's advisable to specify the provided scope.
The newest version of the library can be found here.
3. Immutables
The library generates immutable objects from abstract types: Interface, Class, Annotation.
The key to achieving this is the proper use of @Value.Immutable annotation. It generates an immutable version of an annotated type and prefixes its name with the Immutable keyword.
If we try to generate an immutable version of class named "X", it will generate a class named "ImmutableX". Generated classes are not recursively-immutable, so it's good to keep that in mind.
And a quick note – because Immutables utilizes annotation processing, you need to remember to enable annotation processing in your IDE.
3.1. Using @Value.Immutable With Abstract Classes and Interfaces
Let's create a simple abstract class Person consisting of two abstract accessor methods representing the to-be-generated fields, and then annotate the class with the @Value.Immutable annotation:
@Value.Immutable public abstract class Person { abstract String getName(); abstract Integer getAge(); }
After annotation processing is done, we can find a ready-to-use, newly-generated ImmutablePerson class in a target/generated-sources directory:
@Generated({"Immutables.generator", "Person"}) public final class ImmutablePerson extends Person { private final String name; private final Integer age; private ImmutablePerson(String name, Integer age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } @Override String getName() { return name; } @Override Integer getAge() { return age; } // toString, hashcode, equals, copyOf and Builder omitted }
The generated class comes with implemented toString, hashcode, equals methods and with a stepbuilder ImmutablePerson.Builder. Notice that the generated constructor has private access.
In order to construct an instance of ImmutablePerson class, we need to use the builder or static method ImmutablePerson.copyOf, which can create an ImmutablePerson copy from a Person object.
If we want to construct an instance using the builder, we can simply code:
ImmutablePerson john = ImmutablePerson.builder() .age(42) .name("John") .build();
Generated classes are immutable which means they can't be modified. If you want to modify an already existing object, you can use one of the "withX" methods, which do not modify an original object, but create a new instance with a modified field.
Let's update john's age and create a new john43 object:
ImmutablePerson john43 = john.withAge(43);
In such a case the following assertions will be true:
4. Additional Utilities
Such class generation would not be very useful without being able to customize it. Immutables library comes with a set of additional annotations that can be used for customizing @Value.Immutable's output. To see all of them, please refer to Immutables' documentation.
4.1. The @Value.Parameter Annotation
The @Value.Parameter annotation can be used for specifying fields, for which constructor method should be generated.
If you annotate your class like this:
@Value.Immutable public abstract class Person { @Value.Parameter abstract String getName(); @Value.Parameter abstract Integer getAge(); }
It will be possible to instantiate it in the following way:
ImmutablePerson.of("John", 42);
4.2. The @Value.Default Annotation
The @Value.Default annotation allows you to specify a default value that should be used when an initial value is not provided. In order to do this, you need to create a non-abstract accessor method returning a fixed value and annotate it with @Value.Default:
@Value.Immutable public abstract class Person { abstract String getName(); @Value.Default Integer getAge() { return 42; } }
The following assertion will be true:
ImmutablePerson john = ImmutablePerson.builder() .name("John") .build(); assertThat(john.getAge()).isEqualTo(42);
4.3. The @Value.Auxiliary Annotation
The @Value.Auxiliary annotation can be used for annotating a property that will be stored in an object's instance, but will be ignored by equals, hashCode and toString implementations.
If you annotate your class like this:
@Value.Immutable public abstract class Person { abstract String getName(); abstract Integer getAge(); @Value.Auxiliary abstract String getAuxiliaryField(); }
The following assertions will be true when using the auxiliary field:
ImmutablePerson john1 = ImmutablePerson.builder() .name("John") .age(42) .auxiliaryField("Value1") .build(); ImmutablePerson john2 = ImmutablePerson.builder() .name("John") .age(42) .auxiliaryField("Value2") .build();
4.4. The @Value.Immutable(Prehash = True) Annotation
Since our generated classes are immutable and can never get modified, hashCode results will always remain the same and can be computed only once during the object's instantiation.
If you annotate your class like this:
@Value.Immutable(prehash = true) public abstract class Person { abstract String getName(); abstract Integer getAge(); }
When inspecting the generated class, you can see that hashcode value is now precomputed and stored in a field:
@Generated({"Immutables.generator", "Person"}) public final class ImmutablePerson extends Person { private final String name; private final Integer age; private final int hashCode; private ImmutablePerson(String name, Integer age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.hashCode = computeHashCode(); } // generated methods @Override public int hashCode() { return hashCode; } }
The hashCode() method returns a precomputed hashcode generated when the object was constructed.
5. Conclusion
In this quick tutorial we showed the basic workings of the Immutables library.

Hearst Recuts Dish Retrans Deal, Clouds Details
In agreeing to restore Lifetime to its DBS service, EchoStar's Dish Network cut a new retransmission consent agreement with Lifetime corporate cousin Hearst-Argyle Television.
Before dropping Lifetime New Year's Eve, Dish Network signed an extraordinary retransmission consent deal with the stations owned by Hearst-Argyle, whose controlling shareholder – Hearst Corp. – also owns 50% of Lifetime.
Dish agreed to pay around $11 million a year or about 50 cents per month for each subscriber in Hearst-Argyle's markets. That would be a big step up from what Hearst-Argyle has generated by letting Lifetime negotiate on its behalf with every major cable and DBS operator in the country and far more than the 15-20 cents DBS services are believed to have been paying some other stations.
The deal's been changed. In a new securities filing, Hearst-Argyle says it is returning to the old structure, allowing EchoStar to pay Lifetime for its networks and Hearst-Argyle's stations. Lifetime in turn will compensate Hearst-Argyle for the value of the retransmission consent rights in the negotiations.
After the previous agreement, Hearst-Argyle disclosed that the EchoStar deal alone would pay "less than 1.5%" of the company's annual revenues, or around $11 million. B&C estimates that comes to 50 cents per Dish subscriber in Hearst-Argyle markets.
The new disclosure is broader, saying that Lifetime will now pay Hearst-Argyle "less than 2.5%" of estimated annual revenues. That's around $18 million or 9 cents for not just customers of Dish, but of DirecTV and every cable system in Hearst-Argyle markets.
Hearst would not comment beyond the disclosure. Despite funneling the payments through Lifetime, Hearst-Argyle says that the new agreement is "substantially similar" to the old one, meaning that the broadcast group's compensation is about the same.

Just a heads up for those with the ZTE Smart Hub rural plans, Telus is no longer offering the Public IP option due to "Security Concerns". When I brought up the fact that the Smart Hub is Telus's (only) offering for Rural Internet and really the only viable option in terms of speed but yet it's severely locked down compared to a normal internet plan, I basically got told I can deal with it or find another provider as they don't have any idea if they will even bring it back and when I inquired as to whether Wired Internet would get brought out to where we currently live, I got told that "there are no plans to do so as it's not financially viable", despite living like 5 minutes from a hamlet that has wired internet available.
Can't say I'm surprised but just a heads up for those considering the Smart Hub, if control over your internet and options to run things like a Plex server or other items matter to you, don't go with the Smart Hub, it is so locked down it's not even funny.
I see this post is about a year old! Any update on whether Telus offers this option for smart hubs yet?
Yeah. I've had smart hub almost 6 months now! I have called them a few times as well, And that's the exact same outcome I get as well. I sure hope they can offer or change something soon for us that don't have access to reliable high speed Internet.

EDF's Aldhurst Farm habitat creation proposals: Application no. DC/14/4224/FUL
Deadline 6 Feb 2015
Please can you help. You may know that EDF Energy have put in an application for this habitat creation. They, along with the Local Authorites, are trying to make out that it is a stand-alone application, with nothing to do with Sizewell C, when in fact it is to be offered as compensation for loss of Sizewell Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest if Sizewell C is given the go-ahead. It is crucial for EDFE to get permission to build the twin reactors on the Marshes, because there is no other available space. They are therefore cunningly trying to push this replacement habitat through in advance of the Sizewell C application.
We believe this to be illegal under European Habitat Regs. The Aldhurst Farm project is clearly a part of the overall Sizewell C plans and therefore all the relevant European habitats and their species need to be assessed and accounted for. For example, we know for a fact that rare protected birds (Bittern, Marsh Harrier) and bats (Barbastelle) regularly use the Sizewell Marshes for feeding. Bats in particular forage widely and use the Farm site as well, even though currently arable land. The overall Habitats Regulations Assessment for Sizewell C needs about another two years for proper completion.
It would be extremely helpful if you could please write in response to this application. The person to address it to is Lisa Chandler at SCDC planning office. Say at the outset that you object. If you go on to the site, you will see that it says the consultation is closed, but we have been told (and a local resident has it in writing) that the deadline is 6 Feb. Say that you understand that your response will still be accepted.

This article is not about Sizewell C, but it gives a good insight into how UK nuclear waste is being dealt with - or not!
Huge pools of mystery sludge, leaking silos and risk of explosions: Sellafield needs help, but the UK government has just sacked the firm running the clean-up
URGENT clean-up of two of the world's most dangerous radioactive waste stores will be delayed by at least five years, despite growing safety fears.
The waste is stored at the UK's Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site, which holds radioactive waste dating back to the dawn of the nuclear age. An accident at the derelict site could release radioactive materials into the air over the UK and beyond.
Last week, the UK government sacked the private consortium running the £80-billion-programme to clean up Sellafield, and gave the job back to its own agency, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The clean-up operation, scheduled to end by 2120, costs the government £1.9 billion a year.
The private consortium, Nuclear Management Partners, was meant to "bring in world-class expertise" and allow the government to "get to grips with the legacy after decades of inaction", according to a 2008 statement by Mike O'Brien, energy minister at the time. But six years on, the privatisation experiment has been abandoned.
The surprise renationalisation comes after delays at two of the four waste stores prioritised for clean-up. The four ponds and silos contain hundreds of tonnes of highly radioactive material from more than 60 years of operations. The decaying structures are cracking, leaking waste into the soil, and are at risk of explosions from gases created by corrosion.
In an NDA business plan published last April, the emptying of the 100-metre Pile fuel storage pond, which holds used fuel and waste from the manufacture of the first UK nuclear bombs in the 1950s and 60s, was planned to be completed by 2025. But a timeline in a new draft plan circulated for consultation in December shows the job won't be done until 2030. Likewise, the £750-million task of emptying the 21-metre-high Pile fuel cladding silo, which has been full since 1964, is now scheduled for completion in 2029, not 2024.
Confirming the change, an NDA spokesman told New Scientist: "Given the unique technical challenges and complexities of these plants, which were built with no thought to how they would be decommissioned... there will continue to be programme uncertainties."
Sellafield was built on Cumbria's coast in north-west England in the late 1940s to manufacture plutonium for the UK atomic bomb. The site also housed the world's first commercial nuclear power station, and became a centre for storing highly radioactive waste from reactors.
Most of the highly radioactive waste was dumped into ponds, each several times the size of an Olympic pool. Constantly circulating water kept the waste cool, but also created hundreds of cubic metres of sludge from the corrosion of the metal cladding surrounding the fuel rods.
As a result, the exact contents of the ponds are unclear, says Paul Howarth, managing director of the government-owned National Nuclear Laboratory at Sellafield. "We have to do a lot of R&D just to characterise the inventory, before we can work out how to retrieve the materials."
And the problem is just going to get worse. When plants are decommissioned in the future, waste will still be sent to Sellafield. The UK's plants are mostly made of concrete, rather than steel, which makes them harder to dismantle, says Timothy Abram at the University of Manchester. It also means they create about 30 times more radioactive material. And with a new nuclear plant about to be built at Hinkley Point in Somerset, the amount of radioactive waste headed for Sellafield may grow.
Another unique legacy is the 90,000 tonnes of radioactive graphite stored there, used as fuel cladding. Irradiated graphite accumulates energy known as Wigner energy, which caused the UK's worst nuclear accident in 1957. Researchers are still unsure how to make it safe for disposal.
While other Western nations have policies for dismantling old nuclear plants as soon as they can, the UK plans to mothball them for a century or more first. Nobody wants more radioactive waste until they have cleaned up what is already there.
Danger areas
Pile 1 is one of the two original reactors built to support the UK atomic bomb project. It is where the country's worst nuclear accident took place, when the reactor core caught fire in 1957. Once the fire was extinguished the core was sealed and it is considered best left alone for now.
Pile fuel storage pond took in spent fuel from both the weapons reactors and energy reactors. The radioactive waste and sludge formed from the storage process sit in a deteriorating concrete structure filled with water. Removal of the sludge is under way. This pond has sat unused since the 1970s.
Pile fuel cladding silo is jammed with 3200 cubic metres of aluminium cladding, which surrounds the fuel rods, much of it from 1950s weapons reactors. It has been sealed since the mid-1960s but corrosion means there is a risk that hydrogen will form, which could lead to explosions.
Magnox spent fuel storage pond is considered the most dangerous industrial building in Europe. The 150-metre-long open-air pond is visited by birds and cracks have caused radioactive material to leak into the soil. No one knows exactly what's in there, but it may contain a tonne of plutonium.
Magnox swarf storage silo is considered the second most dangerous industrial building in Europe. It stores waste magnesium fuel cladding under water. Some sludge has leaked through cracks in the concrete, and there is a risk of explosion from hydrogen released by corrosion of storage vessels.

Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) joins the debate on the review of nuclear emergency planning
TASC - the coalition of anti- and pro-nuclear groups fighting to stop the development of Sizewell C - fed up with the constant delay over the review of the emergency planning issue around Sizewell, today distributed over 4000 flyers throughout Leiston and Saxmundham warning residents of the potential grave danger posed by Sizewell B and the future proposed development of two more reactors at Sizewell C.
The flyer argues that the current review of the 'detailed emergency evacuation zone (DEPZ) is in utter confusion. The possible reduction from 2.4kms to 1km for the pre-distribution of potassium iodate tablets (stable iodine) is insulting to people in the wider East Suffolk area, as is the suggestion that people outside the area "stay indoors and listen to local radio and TV for updates"
It points out that, after the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese authorities imposed an exclusion zone of 20kms and that the USA required its own nationals to observe a self-imposed 80kms no-go area around the stricken plant. The lessons learned exercise in which the UK nuclear industry participated in the wake of the event appears not to have stretched to taking on board the need to prepare people who live far away from the plant as well as those who live close by. In addition, it has been a source of concern to TASC that the new dry spent fuel store under construction at Sizewell B represents a terrorist target and that the consequences of an attack on the store and the resulting radioactive contamination appear not to have been taken into account in the current review process. TASC flyer also informs people that a notional Sizewell C will be three times as powerful as the Fukushima plant, making the potential consequences that much greater.
Pete Wilkinson, Acting Chairman of TASC, said today, 'It is time we took the lid off this debate and told people exactly how the authorities are gambling with their lives, their livelihoods, their jobs, their homes and farmland. According to the authoritative Max Planck Gesellschaft, nuclear accidents of a severe nature are likely to occur once every 10 - 20 years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120522134942.htm)
yet our authorities seem hell-bent on keeping the evacuation zone at a ridiculously small radius - only 23 individuals would be affected by a 1km radius evacuation zone at Sizewell - so as not to frighten the second homers, tourists and business investments in the area. It is our view that we all have a right to know the truth and that the authorities have a duty to provide unbiased and accurate information to a wide constituency of people. If the proposed 1km evacuation zone is agreed, it will not be with the consent of residents, nor with the agreement of experts outside the industry, because they are excluded from the discussions"
The Government, the nuclear industry, the ONR, the county and district councils may do well to think again about the safety and well being of the residents of Suffolk . We should not ignore the perils of a nuclear accident. Plans will be imposed on us by those who have a vested interest and those who pretend that nuclear accidents can not happen in the UK, despite the evidence to the contrary. We certainly hope it never happens, but not to prepare for it could be catastrophic and by increasing the density of population in East Suffolk may cause even greater difficulty for any evacuation.
The Councillors responsible for Planning at County and District when making decisions which increase the population, need to be aware of the possibility of having to safely evacuate all residents, if they do not they are acting recklessly and irresponsibly and should reconsider their position

The subject of the Sizewell B Emergency Plans were presented to the Sizewell Stakeholders Group on June 5th by Andy Osman Suffolk County Councilor and Gavin Smith from the Office for Nuclear Regulation. The Plans were met with incredulity. The Emergency Evacuation Zone is to be 1 kilometre (0.6 of a mile), a reduction from the current 2.4 km. The 23 people in the zone are to be told to either shelter/ evacuate and are to be given potassium Iodate tablets on a yearly basis to keep at hand if there is an emergency.
This is after being told just a week or two ago that the area to be covered would be according to Post Codes which would include Leiston but exclude Theberton and Eastbridge, Thorpeness and several other small villages.
TASC has received a long email from the Andy Osman from Suffolk County Council in which he said
"Regrettably a number of people at the SSG meeting helped to confuse the message that we were trying to get across with regards to changes to emergency plans. I have asked the SSG Chair if I can come back to a sub group, along with EDF, ONR, Public Health England and DECC, to continue the process of explaining in detail the changes."
The changes to the plan have been made because the risk area for reasonably foreseeable emergencies which was calculated for sizewell A when in operation was set at 2.4kms. The ONR announcement in April confirmed that the risk had now reduced at the A site, due to decommissioning, and the B power station risk is now the driver for considering urgent countermeasures. This risk now extends no further than 1km.
For anyone with the time and tenacity to plough through it, the Sizewell Off Site Emergency Plan is published on the Suffolk resilience website : SRF Sizewell Off Site Emergency Plan
It contains the following:
6. Planning Assumptions for Emergency Arrangements.
REPPIR requires that an Off Site Emergency Plan is prepared to provide detailed emergency arrangements to secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the restriction of exposure to ionising radiation and the health and safety of persons who may be affected by such reasonably foreseeable emergencies. Such a plan is based upon emergency planning zones that cover the area that in the opinion of the Executive any member of the public is likely to be affected by such radiation emergencies, this is called the DEPZ. This plan uses a tiered approach based upon hazard assessments to guide where emergency arrangements should be planned and to what degree. The resultant planning assumptions are as follows:
6.1. Reasonably Foreseeable. The Sizewell B Power Station Report of Assessment indicates that radiation from a reasonably foreseeable accident may require countermeasures to protect the public to be applied with minimal warning as follows:
• Evacuation - out to 200m
• Shelter - out to 1km
• Stable Iodine - out to 1km.
• Food monitoring out to 35km.
[then later:]
6.2 Beyond Design Basis/Reasonable Worst Case. The HSE document Outline Emergency Planning for Licensed Nuclear Power Stations indicates that in a hypothetical extended release scenario, countermeasures to protect the public may need to be applied within 10-12 hours of an emergency.
• Extended Evacuation - out to 4km
• Extended Shelter - out to 15km (shelter and stable iodine are
implemented together)
• Extended Stable Iodine - out to 15km.
The Suffolk Resilience Forum has agreed to introduce an EEPZ out to 15km based upon the Sizewell B power station.
Countermeasures within the EEPZ will be pre-planned but not deployed and public within this area will be able to access information on planned arrangements

News from the East Anglian Daily Times 30/01/14
A community group fears a big increase in traffic and a large influx of workers could turn a small country parish into an "industrial city" if the Sizewell C nuclear power project goes ahead.
The Theberton and Eastbridge Action Group was formed last year after proposals were put forward for a workers' hostel in the parish and the use of the existing B1122 road by construction traffic.
The group's aims – to reduce the impact on the community if the project does go ahead – have now been given overwhelming support by nearly 70 local people who attended a public meeting.
A report produced by the group says: "The combined effect of a massive increase in traffic, and the huge influx of workers, is out of scale with the area. A small country parish will be turned into an industrial city."
Concerns highlighted include the impact on the environment, including noise and light pollution, and the risk of flooding and coastal instability endangering the power station.
However, the biggest worries include the possible siting of a 3,000-bed workers' hostel amidst fears it would "swamp the tiny village of Eastbridge and completely overwhelm the local infrastructure".
The group believes the B1122 is "unfit for purpose" in terms of Sizewell C traffic and it wants serious consideration given to proposals – first examined at the Sizewell B inquiry 30 years ago – for a new cross-country road from the nuclear site to the A12.
Local parishes are concerned that a year after EDF Energy's Stage 1 public consultation no estimates for road, rail and sea traffic have been published.
Su Swallow, who co-chaired the meeting, said: "Underlying all our concerns is the fact that, a year after Stage 1 Consultation, too many questions remain unanswered by EDF and as long as that remains the case, it is not possible to formulate informed responses and thereby try to influence the planning of this major project."
Suffolk County Council is currently undertaking a "desk-top" study of ideas which include a new cross-country road route. The study will subsequently be used in talks with EDF Energy.
An EDF Energy spokesman said the company was working closely with the county council which was aware of the process involved in assessing the transport impact.
"This is a lengthy process which involves consideration of the responses to Stage 1 consultation, careful examination of the capacity of sea and rail transport and development of the project proposals. Residents and local community groups indicated that they would like to see more details at the next stage of formal consultation and that is what we are working on to provide," it said.
The company says it hopes to launch its Stage 2 public consultation "later this year".

Nee's Desk: January's Slow
The snow has melted and the mud is deep. It's difficult trying to get your horse worked and prepared for riding with all the soft sticky ground to trip in, especially if she gets rebellious and rowdy. I just do what I can.
I have been working on my latest painting. It's been a very slow process with this cold, lethargic weather.
I started back on my mourning yoga routine this past week. It helps with pretty much all of my aches and pains and gets me limbered up, if done on a regular schedule. I always stretch before bedtime, but morning and night works best for me.
January's featured painting: Awakening Rift
Awakening Rift is a 20x16 acrylic on canvas.
It was inspired by the Missing 411 cases, that are being continuously researched and chronicled by David Paulides and his team, in the Missing 411 book series, and social media venues.
I wanted to bring awareness to these strange disappearances in our national forests and other locations, around the world, all sharing common threads.
It's priced at $125, plus shipping and handling.
Thanks for the read!
Hope I haven't bored you with a whole lot of nothing going on in this January slow.
I'm moving forward with a smile on my face. I may be slow, but by God's grace, I'm still getting where I need to go.
February here I come!
I'm starting to wake up--in more ways than one.

"On Time"
Bishop Larry D. Trotter & Sweet Holy Spirit Choir
From the forthcoming Utopia Music Group CD Restored!
By Bob Marovich
Bishop Larry Trotter's Sweet Holy Spirit Church on Chicago's South Side is doing its part to "bring the choir back" (as if it ever left) with "On Time."
The radio-friendly single contains the fiery, full-voiced, no-nonsense sound that listeners come to expect from the Sweet Holy Spirit Choir. The message of God stepping in "right on time" is timeless, and when combined with the pulsating tempo at which the choir moves, the song should bring everybody to their feet.

Homs, SANA_ Al- Rukban camp has become an irrefutable evidence on the US Administration's exploitation of peoples' issues as a form of blackmail and pressure to carry out its aggressive plots and interests in the region at expense of the simplest humanitarian principles and international laws .
Washington, which sent its troops to Syria illegally, spared no pretext to justify its presence, even at the expense of children and women.
Washington pays no heed to the humanitarian catastrophe it caused in the camp and is trying keep it as much time as possible in al-Tanf area to justify its illegal presence in southern Syria, The Russian and Syrian Joint Coordination Committees on Repatriation of displaced Syrians said.
The committees clarified that Washington is dealing with the displaced file based on "colonial thinking", ignoring all the humanitarian values it claims defending them; it insists on turning this file into a political paper to continue pressure on the Syrian government.
Thousands of Syrians displaced by terrorism in al-Rukban camp in al-Tanf area on the Syrian-Jordanian border are still living in catastrophic conditions that amount to a humanitarian disaster.
The statement reminded of the UN concerned bodies talks that there have been cases of "food slavery, early marriage, sexual abuse, theft, violence, hunger, disease in addition to acute shortage of potable water, making it clear that those who want to leave should pay 300 US dollars, which no one in the camp can do.
According to the World Food Program, the displaced people in the desert-located camp live in worn out tents, mostly plastic, and mud houses where conditions of the camp's residents are getting more complicated by the illegal U.S. presence which block the access of aid convoys organized by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in cooperation and coordination with the Syrian government .
In conclusion, all the facts confirm that the responsibility for the humanitarian crisis of our people at al-Rukban camp falls solely on US occupation forces and their stooges, as they have been preventing civilians' departure from the camp by means of force and threats despite opening safe corridors for this purpose.

Social media etiquette is one of the top issues online. Social Media in general has played an essential role in every society, however, It does have some positive as well as negative aspects. It helps connect people with their friends and even family members, if they are apart. It helps people connect all over the world in minutes. You can easily communicate your message to people and in seconds hundreds of people know what you want to say.
The negative part of social media is that although your message gets out fast, that is not necessarily a good thing if you have not been taught social media etiquette. Social Media etiquette can be the defining line between a well connected team and a team who is just completely segregated and the difference between a consultant acquiring lots of new recruits and one who can't seem to get any. It can also cause once buying customers to just be annoyed and block out a consultant all together. Social Media Etiquette is a lot like email etiquette. You must learn how sentences are read as well as what to do and not do. You can quickly alienate team members and customers online if you type things that are read or interpreted wrong. It can quickly shake up your relationships online to the point where your team is disengaged and your customers buy from different consultants.
Most people using Social Media are unaware of the rules when it comes to using any social networking site. You must follow some guidelines while communicating through social media platforms. I see it time and time again, things that come across rude or just bad social media user practices. The entire point behind social media is to build relationships and to connect with people. It wasn't to give you your own personal bill board for your business. When certain things are done that just don't set well with your fans or readers, you can hurt what you have built using social media. Direct Sales consultants are continuously doing the exact opposite of what they should when using Social Media. Here are some tips that every Direct Sales Consultant should do if your main goal is to keep your followers or fans coming back to your page.
- Do not go to another consultant's fan page (which is designated for customers) and ask if you can use their post. Always private message the person. Most of the time they will be more than happy to let you use their content but to ask if you can on their wall just looks tacky and it can get annoying.
- Do not only post about your direct sales business. For some reason this is a difficult one for people. They truly believe that if they don't continuously post about their business that another consultant might get their business. It couldn't be further from the truth. Social Media is about building relationships. When you post nothing but marketing for your business, you are not building relationships and people will not revisit your page. Post things of value and content. Post quotes, humor, things about your life. Trust me, people want to know and they will buy form people they connect with.
- Stay consistent. You should be posting 4-6 times a day. To only post once a day and think people will remember you, you are wrong. What is even worse is to only post once a day and its another ad for your business. Your customers want to know you take this business seriously and if you only show up once or twice a week, they will find a consultant who does show up.
- Do not post your link on other people's fanpages. It is just annoying and wrong. If you would like someone to like your page and would like to share your page with them, simply send them a private message. It would be the same as having a store front and someone putting their business's flyers all over your windows. Not good.
- Don't pin other people's pins on Pinterest and change the URL to send pinners to your website. Post your own photos and then add your own URL. It is just like changing the address of a local business. Not nice. Do the work and pin your own.
- Be very careful of your tone, your use of exclamation points and capital letters. They can be read wrong very fast and you can immediately be taken as brash. People will go somewhere else.
- Some people think that announcing every milestone is good but there is a fine line. Be careful. If you already don't know how your posts are reading and people are taking you as brash, when you start announcing your accomplishments every day, they will not consider you bragging. Provide amazing leadership and customer service and let others brag about you. This will come across much better.
- People do not bother to check the spelling of the content that is going to be posted. They quickly write and post and never bother looking at what they typed. People should check the spellings before posting any comment or status on the wall. It has a good impression among people who use social networking sites like Facebook.
- People do not use the privacy conditions. They are facilitated by many security conditions, but because of lack of knowledge they do not focus on all these things. Hence, it results in the leakage of the personal data of the people. Users should not make it visible to all, but they should impose privacy conditions on all the secret data.
- Usually vague status is posted on the walls. It causes difficult for the people to understand your thinking as well as the idea you want to deliver. Always try to make a clear and understandable statement.
- Do not share unwanted content that is special or valuable for you. Try to focus on the things that are valuable from the users and other perspectives.
- Do not copy another customers exact post. Either share the post of put the wording in your own words or your own personality. Be creative. When you just repost, it tells people you can't think on your own.
What do you think? Are there other things you see online that just drive you crazy? We would love to hear about them. When you are using social media, show respect for other consultants and be creative showing customers and potential team members why you should be their sponsor or consultant.

About DPI
Mission Statement
We dedicate ourselves to the relentless pursuit of creative and innovative solutions that solve problems. We endeavor to design and manufacture the highest-quality truly intelligent power solutions and energy management systems with an emphasis on evolving digital processing algorithms.
Our Background
Headquartered in Piney Flats, Tennessee, Diversified Power International designs and manufactures smart battery chargers, battery-related power systems, power converters, and solar-powered energy systems. Launched in 1997 by a small group of engineers whose backgrounds spanned many years in the lead-acid battery business, DPI initially manufactured battery chargers for the motive power industry (fork lifts, pallet movers, golf carts, etc.). The founders' combined experience was soon brought to bear on developing energy products that surpassed the meager performance of retail-type products. Today, DPI provides microprocessor-based design and manufacturing solutions to most all industries . Our products have proven to reduce battery gassing and fluid loss while reducing battery heating and consuming less power. Many years of research and in-house testing of charging and discharging battery packs have resulted in DPI chargers increasing battery life, reducing operating costs, and operating more efficiently.
Our Operations
DPI's primary goal is to satisfy customers' energy needs at an exceptional value. To achieve this, DPI emphasizes continual operational and product improvement, providing its employees with the proper tools, technologies, and on-going training required to consistently deliver the highest-quality products possible. This approach has resulted in an environment where DPI employees take pride and ownership in their work, and, in turn, a selection of reliable energy systems that push the envelope of industry innovation.
DPI's "do it right the first time" dedication to quality workmanship means maintaining focus on reducing process variability and continually improving our Quality Management System, which ensures compliance with all parts (with the exception of "Service" as stated within clause 7 of the standard) of ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2015. This quality system provides the structure to consistently deliver products that meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements. To learn more about DPI's Quality Management System, see ISO Certificate, e-mail us at email@example.com, or call 423-299-0011.
Our Technology
While most retail battery chargers are pre-programmed with general-purpose software, which results in either an overcharge or undercharge of the battery, DPI's technology involves manufacturing each battery charger with a microprocessor containing custom software developed in-house by our engineering team. This microprocessor contains sophisticated mathematic calculations/algorithms for determining each battery's appropriate recharge requirement. DPI chargers deliver a 100% recharging capacity as opposed to the usually 40% to 70% found with most chargers.
Our Products and Services
DPI offers a standard inventory of high-volume, cost-targeted, off-the-shelf products, as well as custom designs for lead-acid batteries, nickel metal hydride, nickel cadmium, and lithium-ion batteries. We also offer custom electronics, custom software, system enclosures, and manufacturing and testing services.
Please call 800-334-5091 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn how DPI's customized power solutions can help you and your company operate more efficiently.

Brian Taylor hopes he has ended a five-day storm over one of his signature commentary lines.
Taylor has explained why he pronounces Orazio Fantasia's name in his now famous style — and the answer is simple.
Debate erupted over the weekend after Essendon captain Dyson Heppell said on Friday night that the livewire forward's surname was pronounced "Fanta-sia", and Channel 7 commentators adopted that pronunciation during the Bombers' loss to Sydney.
SUBSCRIBE TO THE SUPERFOOTY PODCAST ON iTUNES
Taylor said on radio the next day he would be sticking with his trademark "Fant-aysia" pronunciation, drawing criticism from figures including state Sport Minister Martin Pakula, who labelled Taylor disrespectful.
On Tuesday BT described the reaction as "unbelievable".
"This was cleared aup a couple of years ago," he said on the SuperFooty Podcast.
"Orazio and I have spoken a number of times about this so I had no doubt that the way I was pronouncing it was correct, and he was happy with it and he wasn't disrespected by the way that I did it. Full stop.
"Funny that I was the only person that bothered to speak to him, and that's why I knew that my pronunciation was not being disrespectful at all.
"For all those people out there pushing and prodding and having their two bob's worth, perhaps you should actually speak to the person first."
Taylor said Saturday's discussion on Triple M, when he said he would continue to pronounce Fantasia's name the "Australian" way, was part of a jokey conversation in which callers were "taking the P-1-SS" out of each other.
"That was the context in which it was meant, not the black and white way in which it was written."

The League of Legends World Championship play-in stage begins Monday in Seoul, with 12 teams competing for the final four spots at the game's premier tournament. With the tournament approaching, ESPN broke down the rosters and picked the best players at each position. These difference-making stars could make or break their teams' world title dreams in South Korea.
Here are the top supports entering this year's tournament.
1. Hu 'Swordart' Shuo-Chieh: Flash Wolves
SwordArt is the only player from the League Master Series ranked in the top five in his role coming into this World Championship and the only LMS player to ever be ranked No. 1. Despite coming from a weaker region, SwordArt dazzled internationally at both the Mid-Season Invitational and Rift Rivals 2017 with his immaculate vision control and strong roaming sense. Cho "Mata" Se-hyeong, Shi "Ming" Sen-Ming and SwordArt are all good enough that any one of them could be ranked No. 1, but this year SwordArt made the biggest difference and carried the most weight for his team.
SwordArt spent years shackled by AD Carry NL, but he recently had his laning ability and champion pool opened by his new partner, Liu "Betty" Yu-Hung. Before it seemed that SwordArt was limited, but really, his team just necessitated too much from him. Nowadays, he has more to work with in the bot lane and transitioned excellently from working with Hung "Karsa" Hau-Hsuan to working with Kim "Moojin" Moojin, and losing almost nothing for team synergy as a whole.
SwordArt isn't as flashy and his greatest plays lack visibility, but his impact on the Flash Wolves is clear. Some Taiwanese pundits might even postulate that G-Rex's Lin "Koala" Chih-Chiang is a stronger native support. But when SwordArt sat on the bench this year, Flash Wolves looked nothing like themselves, dropping games against the very dregs of Taiwan. He won his very first MVP award this summer and distinguished himself as Taiwan's best support. It's a close shave at support worldwide, but SwordArt is clearly what makes his team great and has consistently shown a significant impact that just edges out Mata and Ming.
--Xander Torres
2. Cho 'Mata' Se-hyeong: KT Rolster
If there is one player in the world who knows how to win big in South Korea, it is KT Rolster's Cho "Mata" Se-hyeong. In his first-ever domestic season, he walked the royal road and won with MVP Ozone. The next year, Mata went to the first World Championship ever held in South Korea and won that too with much of the same core built on Ozone. Mata might already go down as the GOAT of the support role, but another title on a championship-strarved club like KT Rolster might put it down in ink.
--Tyler Erzberger
3. Shi 'Ming' Sen-Ming: Royal Never Give Up
Drawing attention and getting noticed on a team with Uzi is already difficult. This difficulty increases exponentially when you're Uzi's laning partner, playing side by side with one of the best bot laners in the world and likely the focal point of your team's strategy. Even Mata had visible synergy issues with Uzi while on the team -- the two often looked better when Mata was roaming and Uzi was in the 1v2 than in a straight 2v2 lane.
Yet Ming stepped up to this challenge and then some when he began starting for the team in 2017. The well-regarded former Young Miracles support doesn't simply acquiesce to Uzi's whims; he is a true partner to the strong-willed bot laner in and out of lane. Ming is what makes RNG's 2v2 so formidable and his synergy makes for the best laning duo that Uzi has ever been a part of in his storied career. Ming can play a variety of support champions and styles, and his control over RNG's bot side has only grown this year. Obviously, Uzi is still the star of the RNG show, but Ming allows him to shine that much brighter.

4. Jo 'CoreJJ' Yong-in: Gen.G
It was only a few short years ago when Jo "CoreJJ" Yong-in was a struggling AD Carry in North America on Team Dignitas. Since transferring back to his home region of South Korea and switching to the support role, he has been one of the top players at his position since 2016. Two World Championship finals and a Summoner's Cup later, and CoreJJ is still considered one of the elites at support in the world. Although his playmaking might not be up there with the other players on this list, don't fret --- when the Kench is unbenched, there is no scarier bottom lane duo than Gen.G's.
-- Erzberger
5. Tian 'Meiko' Ye: Edward Gaming
It's been a rough split for EDG. The team has frequently looked disjointed and out of sync, with many expecting EDG to fall to JD Gaming in the regional qualifier. Yet EDG persevered, and one of the major reasons is their all-star support: Meiko.
This still likely has been the toughest split of Meiko's career, as EDG struggled in adapting to patch changes throughout summer. Meiko's strength not only relies on his flexible champion pool or his strong engage sense but his leadership for the team, especially now that Ming "Clearlove" Kai seems to have taken a back seat, as jungler Chen "Haro" Wen-Lin has become the team's default starting jungler. This means that Meiko's leadership is as important as ever, and it's one of the reasons EDG is here at the World Championship.

Residents are responsible for their personal property and we highly suggest that students purchase Personal Property Insurance (also known as renter's insurance).
According to toptenreviews.com, "Renters insurance will pay for the loss of use of your apartment, meaning you can receive payment to stay in a hotel or other place if your apartment is damaged by a fire, storm or other covered event. It covers your belongings while off premises, which means your belongings are covered while you are traveling or if you leave them in your car. For example, if your laptop is stolen from your car or if your luggage is stolen while on vacation, you can file a claim and receive payment.
There are a few broad reasons for you to purchase contents insurance. They include theft of your belongings and damage to your belongings caused by fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, explosions, smoke, vandalism and plumbing leaks. Let's review a few specific scenarios that emphasize the top reasons to purchase renters insurance.
If you have a computer, you know how valuable it is for storing data, running applications, scrolling the web and entertainment purposes such as streaming video. The documents, data, photos and videos you keep on your computer are irreplaceable. Most renters insurance offers a standard payout, often replacement value, if your computer is stolen or damaged. If you feel you need additional coverage, you can purchase an endorsement, or extra coverage, for your computer, as well as other items such as jewelry, silverware, firearms, business personal property and almost anything you want to insure.
You come home one evening and fire trucks and firefighters are wrapping up hoses and stowing their firefighting gear on the fire truck parked outside your apartment building. Your neighbor fell asleep with a lit cigarette. Your apartment did not burn, but it and everything in it including your clothes were damaged by smoke. Renters insurance can pay you for your loss and pay for a place to stay while the damage is repaired.
Water Damage
A pipe bursts in your ceiling while you're at work and pours water onto your great grandmother's Stickley rocking chair. The leather upholstery is ruined. It's a notable antique and worth a pretty penny. Your renters insurance will pay to repair the rocker. It's important to have renters insurance because your landlord's insurance doesn't usually cover your personal belongings.

It has been already six months that we met Nicolas Isnard, a Michelin-star chef, at "Le Méridien" hotel, Cyberport, Hong Kong when he was about to end his Asia tour. He talked to us about his career start from a family kitchen to the opening of his restaurant in Thailand for which he has obtained his first Michelin star.
Bonjour Nicolas ! When did you discover that you had this passion for cooking?
Very young! I have a "problem" with food. I am a gourmand, not a gourmet. Generally, I am passionate about cooking and "food". It came to me when I was 12 years old.
Did you start working for a chef after graduation?
I went to work at Matignon right after graduation from a hospitality school. Then, I worked with the Plaza Athénée with Alain Ducasse (3 Michelin stars). I worked for Philippe Gauvreau (2 Michelin stars) in La Rotonde. Then, I worked for Gilles Goujon (3 Michelin stars), a restaurant near Narbonne and had a visit to the restaurant of Serge Chenet (1 Michelin star) in Avignon. Nothing else than the very traditional way!
Did each region where you have worked inspire your dishes?
I have got my inspiration from each small moment I have. My region of adoption is Burgundy, my native region, Provence, is a little "melting pot" of all these. Those inspire me more than my experiences.
A chef needs to have his own experience. At the beginning, we are all inspired by what we have learnt; then we go away little by little to tell our own story.
If I ask you about the French region you prefer; did you have a "crush" on a particular region?
It is tricky because I love the Basque Country as much as Provence! I grew up in Provence, but I lived in the South West and I loved it. I lived in Lyon, and I found that this is a great city. I lived in Paris, and yes, it is the most beautiful city in the world! In Burgundy, there is an excellent terroir for the wine. I have lived there for ten years, and I am very happy. I really love Brittany too! I think France is a lovely country which is diverse, and I do not want to promote only one region. I love my country!
In France, we have many beautiful regions that offer a wide variety of specialities, climates, seasons, products. Some even have their own traditional language.
I would say my native region always got a special place in my heart. I love Provence for its climate and its products.
And did travel change the way you cook?
The culinary history also goes through the experiences that one can have. I travel a lot in Asia. So, I gain lots of inspiration from the products that I can find in this part of the world. Last year, we opened a restaurant in Thailand, it gave me access to products that are different from those I work with in France. I bring some back in my luggage, and I eat Asian cuisine regularly. I do not claim to be an Asian-influenced chef. But I repeat, your region of birth, your region of adoption and your travels make you who you really are.
Today, I am not an old man, but I am not a young man anymore. I become mature enough to tell my own story, based on what I live.
Today, I am home in France as much as in Asia. A few years ago, I would not have said the same, I was travelling less. I used to say: "I do not see the interest to go to Vietnam to eat a Pho and to remake it in the kitchen. It does not make sense! ". At that time, "the customer comes to your hometown in Burgundy to taste your French cuisine". Then you go and return. I still do not make Pho, but I use ginger, galangal, tamarind, citronella and mint more than before. Finally, the products are in profusion, and I incorporate them a little bit in our cuisine.

Marriage is more than four bare legs in a bed. ~Hoshang N. Akhtar
I'm thinking about marriage today, grateful for the husband I have and the life we are building together, and reflecting on how I've changed and am changing as a wife. All in all it's for the better! But like rocks being polished in a tumbler, married life feels gritty sometimes. I worry about aspects of myself that I'm losing or things I know Matt has sacrificed for us, and I freak out that it's too much to ask.
Who wouldn't want to marry this girl!?
My friend Brett wrote a great little rant on how our culture treats marriage (Marriage Sucks). He searched the internets for an inspirational quote to include in a love letter for his wife and got mostly one-liners about marriage that are thinly veiled put-downs. He says,
"Marriage does not have the greatest track record at the moment. It is in desperate need of people who will champion it, who will speak life into it and cheer it on from the sides [as other married couples and as single or dating people] – we need all the help we can get."
Agh this is so true! Obviously something is not right when we know that many marriages won't last the lifetimes they were promised for, but what can we do about it? Does laughing at the idiosyncrasies marriage often reveals make things worse? Does it make a difference if the person making the joke is married or not? Happy or not? I agree with Brett that we should not just stand by while marriage gets trampled with criticism and cynicism and bitterness, and I think married people should be maybe a little more open and honest that marriage is hard, worthwhile work. It's hard to know how to do that well and keep healthy boundaries though, and maybe that is part of the appeal for me in good humour. While I have been known to laugh at jokes against marriage, that's because the best humour reveals what is hard and pokes fun at what is frustrating. When it is well done, humour gives us permission to relax and laugh and sigh and say "me too;" when it is poorly done we might laugh, but the underlying hurt and insecurity remain. For different people, what is a good joke might look different depending on their mood, their outlook, their own insecurities.
One point Brett made that I agree with wholeheartedly and unconditionally is that marriage ceremonies are no place for put-down humour. Do many people enter marriage extremely naive? I think so, but there is vulnerability in that naivety, and putting it down ("marriage is like a phone call in the middle of the night – you get a ring and then you wake up") cheapens something that is actually very precious: the willingness to do something hard before you know for sure how hard it will be. My mommy-brain now wants to compare everything to labour and this is no exception: labour is hard but worthwhile work, it is a deeply personal experience, and how you deal with it varies wildly. There is no one right way to labour, just as there is no one right way to build a marriage. However, it is pretty universally accepted that telling a pregnant woman how hard labour will be is a jerk move. Also, the onset of labour is probably the worst time to make such a pronouncement. Could you imagine? "Oh man, you're in labour? That's gonna suck. Well, I'm happy for you and everything, but have you heard this Carol Burnett line? Giving birth is like taking your lower lip and forcing it over your head! Ah.. ha… well, good luck with that." Cracking derogatory jokes at a wedding is lame, period, even if you get a laugh.
I love going to weddings so much as a married person – I love seeing the details that each couple choose to make their day personal and special, and I love remembering my own wedding, and I love the sweet, simple hope of two people in love promising their lives to each other. I also appreciate weddings more because I know that marriage can be fiercely hard and that no wedding ceremony will change that. It doesn't matter if your budget is $300 or $30 000; it doesn't matter if you stumble over your vows or get mascara on your gown; it doesn't matter if you choose the perfect readings and the perfect playlist. Maybe that's why they say it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day – because it forces you to realize from the start that you don't have control and that you have to make the best of imperfect situations.
(Side note: in that sense, this couple would have the best-ever start to being married!)
Okay, back on topic. I want to be a great cheerleader for marriage, through my words, actions and example. Sometimes humour is a great tool, but even the best tools still have specific uses, and they can be harmful when used out of context (nail guns, anybody?). Marriage humour can be hilarious because it reminds us that no matter who you are and who you're married to, it only looks easy from the outside. When the going gets tough, it is so important to have people we can be honest with, who will sit with us in living rooms or coffee shops or read our emails from across the globe and believe in us, pray for us, encourage us. And maybe who sift through the internets to find wise gentle words that sum up our hope:
Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. ~Simone Signoret
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate. ~Barnett R. Brickner
A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time. ~Anne Taylor Fleming
hm, that brett fellow sounds like a bit of a ranter… great post by the way – i think you have captured an excellent balance between humour [which i think is excellent and so necessary in marriage but i think there is a distinction between humour about and humour at and it is the "at" i am more rantable towards] and that best man moment was one of the funniest things ever – wow how bad must he feel but on the other hand story for life…
so yes all for humour but in it's right place and i do think married people speaking life into and over each other is a lot more healthier than speaking sarcasm and jest even if meant well [again each couple can probably find their balance in that] and so as long as the predominant words being spoken are life that creates space for some humour for sure…
which is so important for marriages to thrive and even survive…
great post! well done!
love ranter brett
haha thank you 🙂

Just one or two little rough spots.
The SFGiants have had a great 2017 season so far, #WithFewExceptions
Las Vegas sportsbooks aren't expecting too much drama in the NBA Western Conference Finals. $100 bet on the Warriors to win the series would win $6.25. $100 bet on the Spurs would win $900. Christians had better odds against Lions.
Meanwhile Wizards and Celtics are fighting awfully hard for the right to be blown out by the Cavs.
At this point the best hope for serious NBA semi-final drama would be if Cavs and Warriors players somehow got into a Las Vegas brawl resulting in injuries before their series' started.
Apparently a policeman was writing "open-container" tickets for fans getting off the train tonight and heading to AT&T Park. Shouldn't there be a waiver because alcohol is the only way to get through some of these SF Giants games?
Josh Gordon's appeal for reinstatement to the NFL after multiple marijuana issues has been denied. Now if he'd only hit a woman while in a steroid-induced rage after being caught with a DUI, he'd be back by midseason.
Anyone else thinking they liked #HouseofCards better when it was just Netflix series? And when Frank Underwood didn't look like an upgrade.
So if there are #WhiteHouse tapes I am sure it is Obama's fault.
Trump calls Comey a "showboat." Don't know if pots or kettles are laughing harder.
Give Trump credit for accomplishing something huge. Who else could have made Comey a bipartisan sympathetic figure?
Now President of the United States is opening threatening the former head of the FBI he just fired. What could possibly go wrong?
Am sure FBI employees have no problem with Trump threatening their former director.
#WithfewExceptions, Lincoln enjoyed his time at the theater and JFK had a nice visit to Dallas.
#Withfewexceptions Nixon was not a crook.
Trump complains Spicer's "press conferences are like the biggest thing on daytime television." He's worried about Sean beating his ratings?Explore posts in the same categories: Uncategorized
