Missing something: jlabels not showing up
Hello, I'm trying out my first project with swing in Java and I'm missing something. The code is below. Everything works except when the window is generated it's empty, the labels are being generated (checked with system out messages) but they aren't showing up in the window. I'm not sure if the problem is bewteen the labels in the panel or the panel in the frame but something done broke :)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class RandomPanel extends JPanel {
public RandomPanel(String label){
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
panel.add(new JLabel(label));
Random r = new Random(); //allows us to generate (pseudo)random values
Integer randInt = 1 + r.nextInt(4095); //random select an int 1-4096
panel.add(new JLabel(randInt.toString()));
panel.add(new JLabel(Integer.toHexString(randInt)));
class Main extends JFrame{
public Main(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setTitle("Hello, Swing");
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(20,1));
for(int i = 1; i < 21; ++i){
Integer row = i;
RandomPanel panel = new RandomPanel(row.toString());
System.out.println("GUI initialized");
public static void main (String[] args){
new Main();
Any suggestions? I'm using Eclipse IDE and Java 6 if it matters.

In your RandomPanel constructor, you created a new Panel and dressed that with your buttons but you never used that panel anywhere. Don't create a new Panel in that constructor, just set all those things on the RandomPanel with
Java Code:
setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));

Alright I'm very very confused now. I had it the way you say originally and it was doing the same thing, then I added in the panel and it was doing the same thing, but I just took it back out and now it works.
I have no idea why. But that's not your problem. Thank you for the help!
Extending JPanel and JFrame, as in your example code, is a gross misuse of inheritance. Also, as already said, constructing a JPanel within a class that extends JPanel, and ignoring the JPanel that the class represents, is meaningless.
I'd say you need to go through a tutorial or two.

Letter we send to the Swedish culture minister, since there has not been formal or informal apology to FGM survivors and activists working day and night to end FGM by the way which is not a laughing matter.
We send by post and emailed this well put and respectful letter even though we are angry. all we ask for is an apology. the letter reads as follows.

text: All you need is a bassline, snare, hi-hat, kick and electronic body music is free of cyber shit. And there is no chance to argue. The new album by Croatian-German project RHESUS FACTOR was recorded in collaboration with one of the most influential figures of the worldwide EBM-scene: Claus Larsen (LEAETHER STRIP), who performed most of the vocals and wrote some of the lyrics. The result of this collaboration is predictable and concise: this is EBM! Dense, unicellular and ruthless. On the album you will also note participations by FRONTAL and HUMAN NIHIL – thus the slogan for this release might as well be "EBM United!" The overall sound on 'Mann der Arbeit' (Man of labour) is sometimes very close to the early "gold" releases of LEAETHER STRIP, sometimes marching in the direction of minimal-electro & 'Anhalt'-EBM with that specific 'Made In Germany'-trademark! Without any doubt this is a must have release for all fans of LEAETHER STRIP, KLUTAE, DAF, JAGER 90, STURM CAFÉ, FRONT 242, AD:KEY etc… Only 500 physical, hand-numbered copies!

A theft crime conviction has the potential to ruin your future, with penalties such as jail or prison, steep fines and a lengthy probation, in addition to a criminal record that could prevent you from finding suitable housing or employment. You may be able to avoid such negative consequences if you take action now by retaining a qualified criminal defender to represent your case. At Ayo and Iken, PLC, we have a team that consists of several former prosecutors and a former public defender, and you can benefit greatly from the fact that we have 35 years of combined experience with the criminal process.
Any type of theft crime charge exposes you to the threat of serious repercussions, but the sentence you face depends on the specific offense involved. If you are accused of shoplifting or a minor theft, you will likely be charged with a misdemeanor and may be sent to county jail for up to a year. More serious crimes, such as embezzlement, burglary, robbery and grand theft, are generally charged as felonies, with sentences ranging into several years in state prison.
Other factors that will influence the penalty you would receive if convicted include whether you are accused of using force or carrying a deadly weapon at the time of the offence, as well as the value of stolen goods. For example, for property valued at under $300, you will most likely face misdemeanor charges for petit theft, while more valuable property will increase the offense to a felony grand theft charge, ranging from third degree grand theft punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, to first degree grand theft, which carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
There are many ways to fight theft crime charges, from demonstrating that you have been falsely accused to arguing that you had reason to believe that you had a lawful right to the property, as well as seeking to have the charges dismissed on the grounds that there are flaws with the evidence. We can also negotiate with the prosecutor for a reduced punishment or an alternative form of sentencing. Fill out our free case evaluation form now so that an attorney from our firm can begin work on your case immediately.
Contact Ayo & Iken PLC when you have been charged and want to learn more about how we can help you fight the case.

Northam signs bills requiring employers to provide paystubs
A long-overdue victory for workers was achieved this week when Gov. Ralph Northam signed two bills requiring employers to provide paystubs to their employees.
The companion bills, championed by bi-partisan legislators Delegate Lashrecse Aird, a Democrat from Petersburg, (HB 2664) and Senator Frank Wagner, a Republican from Virginia Beach, (SB 1696) will allow Virginia workers to see the number of hours they are paid for, what their rate of pay is, and what deductions are being taken. Paystubs also clarify the name of the employer. In addition to understanding their pay, workers also need paystubs to apply to rent an apartment, get a car loan, or receive social services like Medicaid. Because employers must already calculate the information needed on a pay stub in order to correctly pay employment taxes, there is little extra work for employers.
The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy led the fight for this legislation and has been advocating worker justice since it was founded in 1982. Kim Bobo, Co-Executive Director said, "Requiring paystubs is a simple, common sense way to help workers get paid fairly and participate in the economy."
"Many workers are cheated out of their legal wages when they are not paid for all the hours worked, or not paid overtime for working more than 40 hours, or have illegal deductions taken from their pay," said Benjamin Hoyne, Policy Director for the Virginia Interfaith Center. He continued, "Providing paystubs enables workers to see whether they are being paid their full salary and benefits and they can challenge their employer if they are not."
The bill, known as Wage Payment Statements, "requires each employer to provide on each regular pay date a written statement, by a paystub or online accounting, that shows the name and address of the employer, the number of hours worked during the pay period, and the rate of pay. The measure has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2020." The bill exempts agricultural employers.
The Commonwealth of Virginia and its residents benefit when workers receive their paystubs. The Virginia Interfaith Center is grateful for the work of Delegate Aird and Senator Wagner and looks forward to supporting more bills in 2020 to protect Virginia's workers from wage theft.

Teak is a naturally beautiful wood with rich grain and color ranging from a honey gold to a chocolate brown. The grain and color come from the growth rings, and no two pieces will be alike in grain or color.
It is best to receive your teak furniture in its "natural" finish (not oiled or waxed). This way you can tell the quality of the teak, and have a choice of finishes. Some manufacturers oil or polyurethane their teak furniture. This may be done to hide blemishes, and make the furniture look more attractive.
Natural Finish (Weathering)
If Teak is left unfinished, then it will weather to a handsome silvery gray. This process is gradual and usually takes between three to twelve months, depending on sunlight exposure. Rain or water will not affect the process. However, you may get some water spots when the teak is first exposed to the elements. You may choose to clean them out with mild soap and water, or leave them be. Either way, in a few months time, the furniture will be uniformly gray.
If teak furniture is exposed to rain, its grain will lift slightly. This is a natural process as wood slightly expands and contracts with the wet ad dry cycles. It will not affect the strength or durability of the wood. Teak will return to its smooth feel after the initial weathering process.
Teak Oil Finish
Teak Oil may be applied to Teak outdoor furniture to extend the aesthetic appearance of the new teak furniture. Teak oil, or other finishes that protect from Ultraviolet Light bleaching, delay the bleaching of the wood as long as they are effective. These finishes in no way extend the life of the furniture. Teak furniture requires no treatment to protect the wood.
Teak Oil eventually evaporates in six to twelve months (based on area conditions and sun exposure). You will notice that the oil finish starts showing a few streaks of unoiled wood. At this time, you must reapply teak oil to preserve the color.
If teak oil treatment is not repeated, the furniture will eventually bleach to a silvery gray.
Polyurethane Finish
Poly Urethane is used to finish teak wood panels on boats. This is only to maintain its aesthetic color, and give it a smooth shine. Teak wood does not require any finish to preserve its strength.
The Polyurethane will eventually flake and peel. Boatyards usually apply three coats of polyurethane onto teak trim used in boats annually.

Wow, these are gorgeous visualizations.
And by the way, given my fitness level, I really emphathize with the dots in the upper-right corners of your scatter plots. :)
The Wildflower Long Course Triathlon is a half-ironman triathlon (1.2M swim, 56M bike, 13.1M run) held each year in Lake San Antonio, CA. The 2008 race had 1637 finishers (1226 male - including me, 411 female) broken down in the following age groups:
The spread of men vs. women and their age group break down is typical of a triathlon.
I downloaded a full spreadsheet of race results from the race website. This spreadsheet includes every racer's finishing time, gender, age group, swim time, t1 time, bike time, t2 time, and run time. I then used Tableau to generate additional results and put everything into this packaged workbook. You'll need Tableau Desktop 4.0 or higher, or the free Tableau Reader if you would like to play with the data yourself.
The first question to ask about the race is how did the field do in each leg of the race compared to how they did overall? This question is answered below in a stacked bar chart.
The view is made up of 1600+ colums, where the height of each column represents the finishing time of each racer. Additionally, the column's color shows how much of their race they spent swimming, biking, running and transitioning. What immediately jumps out is that swim performance has such little bearing on overall performance. It would be interesting to see a similar graph for a full ironman or an olympic distance event to see how much the swim portion matters in those races.
Notice also the occassional bars of green that shoot down into blue. That is a racer who went relatively much faster on their bike leg versus their run compared to the average time of the rest of the field. Or said another way, it's a racer who went too hard on the bike and blew up on the run.
Now let's look at a different view of the same data.
Each mark in the view is a racer's time in a particular leg given their overall finishing place. Each racer is represented by three marks showing their time in each leg, which line up vertically depending on their finishing place. Trend lines are enabled (per color) to show average expected performance given final overall place. This view works because the range of expected finishing times for each sport is disjoint.
The conclusion I draw form this view is that the cluster of times of each sport is tighter the higher your overall place, which means that as you get faster in the sport, you must be fast in all three events to place high overall.
The next interesting question is to ask is how did an individual racer do in each leg given their overall finishing place? For example, was their swim extremely fast compared to their run? We can answer that question by using the same view that we used above, but this time, we'll highlight the performance of myself and five members of my triathlon team. If a time in an event is below the trend line, then that time is fast compared to the expected finish, and vice versa. The goal of every racer would be to have their leg time exactly on the trend line, which would mean that they did equally well in all three sports.
Notice that I scaled the y-axis on all five plots to encompass the range of times for that event.
The first thing to notice is that bike leg performance is a very good indicator of overall performance, which makes sense given that the bike leg is the longest. Look at the orange mark, a teammate who finished about 280th overall. It is obvious from the graph that his swim time is very slow compared to his bike and run times, although his bike and run times aren't that much faster than the average given his place, which reinforces the idea that swim performance has the least effect on overall performance. This visualization gives the viewer an instananeous assessment of relative performance of each leg.
Finally, our coach can be happy with our team's performance in transition. Besides a slow T1 for my teammate represented by the green mark, we all have average to very fast transition times, which many coaches see as "free speed."
Next we ask the question, how do male overall finishing times compare against female finishing times? To show this, I plotted overall finish times versus percentage of gender place so we could compare, for example, the time difference between the 50th percentile male and 50th percentile female finishers. This is below.
Males are consistently about 35 minutes faster than the corresponding female finisher, regardless of their finishing place. Next, I plotted how the genders did in each leg and put the results into a Tableau dashboard.
The dashboard demonstrates that men and women are most closely matched in the swim and farthest apart on the bike. This result is intuitive, but the view shows it explicitly. Even though the time scales are different for each leg, since the time axis covers the same percentage range, it's accurate to compare the distance between the gender curves for the different sports.
The last question I asked is how does age effect race performance. The conventional wisdom is that once a triathlete turns 45, their performance severely degrades. Is that true? Let's see. Graphs for male and female race preformance broken down by age group are below.
For males, it's good to be young. Males 20-24 are the fastest age group. Then there is a tight clustering of males between 25 and 44 although performance does degrade slightly with age. Then performance drops off steadily between the ages of 45 and 60, but doesn't really fall off of a cliff until age 60 and above. It's good news to know that you can be fast until relatively late in life.
For females, it's really good to be young. There is a big gap in performance between females 20-24 and everyone else. Starting at age 25 until 54, there is a steady drop in performance, but no performance cliff. Not enough women over 54 competed to add their results to the graph.
I hope you have found looking at triathlon results in Tableau as much fun as I have. Each one of the views showed a different aspect of an entire database full of results in a single picture. That's what visual analysis is all about.
If you have any ideas of other ways to look at the results, I'd love to hear them. Please leave me a comment below. Happy triathloning!
Wow, these are gorgeous visualizations.
And by the way, given my fitness level, I really emphathize with the dots in the upper-right corners of your scatter plots. :)
As a Tableau user, this provides nice examples. As a recreational triathlete (male, nearing 40), it's nice that I can show hard data to my wife that I still have many good years left.
It might be fun to see some visualizations about transition times since I tend to weasel out of training by rationalizing that transition efficiency is a better way to cut a few seconds, even minutes, from overall time.

TOLLS will rise after ministers decided Tyneside does not deserve the help offered to motorists across the rest of the UK.
Tyne Tunnel costs are set for two years of increases after ministers said no to a cash plea – despite saying yes to Merseyside, Humberside and Scotland.
The Department for Transport was asked to repeat financial aid offered to Humberside and Merseyside and provide £40m to stop Tyne Tunnel tolls rising above £1.50 for recession-hit commuters, while in Scotland the SNP Government found cash to scrap tolls on the Forth Bridge.
The Tyne Tunnel toll is set to rise from £1.40 at present to £1.60 next year and is expected to hit £1.70 the year after, local transport chiefs say in a ministerial letter. Between 2011 and 2014 the overall weekly increase for motorists will amount to about £5 a week. With unemployment in the region remaining high and pressure on family bills increasing, transport chiefs at the council-backed Integrated Transport Authority thought they could copy the Humber Bridge example and request financial aid to keep the toll down.
Chancellor George Osborne allowed Humber Bridge bosses to write off £150m in debts, allowing the toll there to fall from £3 to £1.50. In Liverpool a newly proposed bridge, the Mersey Gateway, will receive additional support to allow costs to be pegged to the current Mersey Tunnel toll of £1.50.
In both cases the Government cited the "positive economic impact" the moves would bring when agreeing the cash.
Transport authority chairman David Wood said the same help is essential to help the local economy, and wrote to ministers making the point.
He asked for £40m to limit the toll increase, but was told there would be no cash for the North East.
Mr Wood, a Labour councillor, said he was "disappointed" with the decision.
"We seem to be being punished for our own success really. We built the tunnel, it has been a success, but now we are told there will be no help in keeping those costs down while the economy is in trouble."
Transport minister Norman Baker said in his response that the Humber Bridge has "a unique burden of interest in relation to construction costs" whereas the second Tyne Tunnel had toll increases built into the building costs.
In Merseyside a bridge not currently tolled will be changed to introduce a charge, he added.
Mr Baker said: "I do not accept there is a case for the Government grant to the Tyne Tunnel which is justified by the Government's decision at the Humber and Mersey, and therefore consider that scheduling a meeting between us to discuss it would not be productive."

According to WNYT News Channel 13 (10/04/17), Byrd was nine years of age when he was diagnosed with psychosis and prescribed Risperdal. He eventually suffered from Risperdal gynecomastia – male breast growth – that traumatized him as a youth.
"You know, thinking people are judging me," (sic) Byrd said in comments broadcast by WNYT. "So, it's still something that, you know, I feel bad about." (sic).
His male breast tissue was surgically removed three years ago when he was 21. However, the teasing he endured as an adolescent has not yet left him. "It can really, like, mess up how you view yourself and how you view the world," Byrd said to WNYT.
Byrd's Risperdal lawsuit was the first to be tried outside Philadelphia that resulted in a win for the plaintiff, according to WNYT. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia there are no fewer than 6,000 Risperdal lawsuits housed in a mass tort in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas. Risperdal gynecomastia cases have been tried in Philadelphia since February, 2015 with both plaintiffs and the defendant prevailing in several of the cases. Many Risperdal lawsuits have been settled out of court just prior to trial – however, the four occasions when plaintiffs have prevailed resulted in jury awards ranging from $500,000 to $70 million.
Risperdal gynecomastia, which is the growth of male breast tissue, remains a relatively rare side effect of Risperdal (risperidone) that nonetheless proves devastating for those affected. In rarer cases still, gynecomastia victims have been known to actually secrete fluids through the nipples. The only known treatment for Risperdal gynecomastia is surgery to remove the excessive breast tissue.
Byrd's Risperdal lawsuit asserts that male breast tissue had begun to form within months of starting Risperdal, an anti-psychotic.
Janssen issued a statement following the Risperdal gynecomastia verdict, as reported by WNYT. "Contrary to the impression the plaintiffs' attorneys have attempted to create over the course of this litigation, Risperdal (risperidone) is an important FDA-approved medicine that, when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, continues to help millions of patients with mental illnesses and neurodevelopmental conditions."

Can you bees help me brainstorm?
When you think of a Foodie Wedding, what ideas pop up in your head? What do you visualise? This can be anything, from the food (of course): are you thinking five course meals or sliders during cocktail hour? To anything else food related: invitations, decor, favors…..
(image) examples would be great!
My Fiance and I are great foodies and I'm thinking of fun ways to incorporate this in our wedding. We like anything from indeed fancy meals to a good old burger with extra bacon. We just love food, to eat, to cook. I have some ideas already but would love to hear yours for inspiration!

Product line 6.2. Effective systems for large-scale adoption of rice technologies in South Asia
Uptake and impact pathway
Financing strategy
To achieve the outcomes in productivity gains, sustainability, and livelihoods, improved rice technologies need to be adopted by large numbers of farmers. There are several challenges to this, including poor communications in the rural sector, weak extension services, and commonly large substantial institutional "gaps" between research, extension, and farmers. Such gaps are evident in South Asia due to an aging pubic-sector extension service, an emerging private sector that is weakly connected to the public research sector, and the large number of NGOs that often lack access to information on rice production and postharvest technologies. In the case of Sri Lanka, in addition, certain regions have suffered upheaval as a result of the recent civil war.
There is a need to build cohesion in the research to farmer linkages in order to support large-scale uptake of new rice technologies. Improved linkages and communication using multiple channels will help ensure household food security and national food security through the adoption of new technologies. Enabling growth of the rice sector through supporting technology delivery requires that linkages be made with large-scale or regional investments, and that there be engagement at the local level with NGOs and with national and farmer extension programs. To achieve this, international research centers must also assemble technical expertise for supporting the planning and implementation of large-scale rice-based technology delivery and development projects.
In addition, there is a need to support extension capacity development to increase competence in rice production and postharvest management working with multiple agencies and clients, including poorer farmers and women. Wide-scale delivery of information on new technologies is necessary to underpin these efforts and this will require innovative use of multiple media formats such as video and radio, Internet and mobile phone technology, and strong feedback from end-users.
Communication materials will be developed in multiple formats for direct use for extension of technologies in the intensive cereal systems and for abiotic stresses. Within large hubs in South Asia, modern communication tools will be applied to capacity development of grass-roots-level public- and private-sector partners. IRRI and CIMMYT will work with national and local partners on localized content for the Cereal Knowledge Bank in key CSISA hubs, to support multichannel communication organizations (e.g., public and private telecenters) for last-mile delivery of information to extension and farmers. Support will be provided to develop the capacity (including monitoring systems) of public and private seed networks. An innovative accreditation scheme for certified crop advisors (CCA) will be initially developed with public- and private-sector partners and the American Society of Agronomy for several states in India, and then out-scaled to other countries in the region. Women's leadership training will be conducted and followed up with the formation of a network for women leaders that will support the enhanced capacity of grass-roots extension staff.
Through the STRASA and CSISA projects, IRRI in partnership with CIMMYT, ILRI, IFPRI, and more than 200 local partners will provide catalytic support for seed multiplication and targeted, scalable dissemination of new stress-tolerant rice varieties and management practices for resource-conserving cropping systems. Particular emphasis will be on establishing new business models for scalable, self-sustained delivery of new information and technologies, including the use of new hub communication platforms. Evidence-based information to support these activities will be made available through the private and public sector and civil society organizations for intensive cereal systems and for stress-prone environments.
6.2.1 New models for seed multiplication and targeted delivery systems
6.2.2 New platforms for delivering agronomic, postharvest, and processing innovations
6.2.3 New models for jointly building extension capacity
Partnerships will align closely with major national initiatives, such as the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) of the government of India. For delivery of new technology, there are traditional public R&D institutions along with medium- and large-scale companies (e.g., DCM Shriram Consloidated Ltd., ITC Ltd., and Tata Chemicals Ltd. in India; and Agrimall, Fauji Fertilizer Company, and SACAN in Pakistan), farmers' organizations, NGOs (e.g., BRAC, RDRS, and Shushilan in Bangladesh; FORWARD and LI-BIRD in Nepal; and CRS and M.S. Swaminathan Foundation in India), and international companies and associations (AWhere and International Plant Nutrition Institute–IPNI, U.S.). The American Society of Agronomy will support the CCA program. For dissemination, most partners implement with their own resources but are linked for technology access and knowledge. Some strategic partnerships influence the public sector for large-scale dissemination. An example is the minikit distribution in India under NSFM, through which there is large-scale distribution of the new Sub1 varieties.
Uptake and impact pathway
Centers will support delivery according to priorities and natures of the national systems. In India, this will focus on the emerging private sector and the public extension services, and to a more limited extent NGOs. For Bangladesh and Nepal, the uptake pathway will comprise the predominant public and NGO sectors, together with a weaker private sector. In Sri Lanka, opportunities exist for partnerships to support the rehabilitation of extension services in the northern areas. Impact pathways associated with large-scale investment opportunities will involve strong links to the government. Leadership capacity in extension will be developed through support for an accreditation program of extension agronomists and women's leadership. This will be coupled with support for grass-roots extension capacity with intermediary institutions and farmers' organizations. Capacity development will link directly with the online up-to-date technical knowledge of the RKBs, the hub communication platform, and innovative communication products. These components will underpin the activities of skilled extension personnel and enable them to effectively deliver new rice technologies. In addition, a grass-roots competitive fund will support innovative delivery mechanisms for NGOs and farmer associations for poorer farmers and women.
There will be strong linkages to the products emerging from themes 1, 2, 3, and 4 that also link with the IRRC and CURE. Impact pathway monitoring and evaluation will be through theme 5.
Financing strategy
Two large regional initiatives currently provide support—CSISA and STRASA. The initial undertaking is for three years, with expected support over a 10-year period. Additional in-country funding is sought through links to the Food Security Commission in India, the NATP investment fund in Bangladesh, and large-scale national food security missions and development projects in Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. New funding is required to build up a strong, professional extension support team at IRRI to link science with development efforts on the ground. Further support is required for the development of communication approaches and information systems.

- Direct applicability
A concept of European Union constitutional law that relates specifically to regulations, direct applicability (or the characteristic of regulations to be directly effective) is set out in Article 288 (ex Article 249) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (as amended by the Lisbon Treaty).[1]
Although often confused with the doctrine of direct effect, direct applicability refers to the fact that regulations require no implementing legislation within individual member states - they take effect as soon as they are published by the European Commission.
This confusion is perhaps explained by reference to the treaty provision governing regulations which provides that they, and only they, have direct applicability within the member states. The early jurisprudence of the ECJ suggested that 'direct effect' was a consequence of direct applicability as it was thought that the drafters of the original treaty intended regulations, and only regulations, to be directly effective. However, the expansion of the doctrine of direct effect to include directives and other measures served to create a distinction between direct applicability and direct effect. Direct applicability is now taken to mean that regulations require no domestic implementation - if direct effect was only ever intended to be a consequence of direct applicability then the relationship has been severed by a series of ECJ cases.

I would like to introduce the new Mr and Mrs Swallow. (pictured above) I had been chosen to photograph their very special day. This was actually my very first wedding. So naturally I was nervous.
I had walked through the plans several times over in my head the night before, What shot's I was going to get and what was going to happen, Where I was going to stand, How I was going to light the image etc, I got to the church after photographing the bride to be getting ready in the morning and I was more nervous than the groom! I had picked up my camera, and could not explain the rush of excitement and energy I had. I knew exactly what to do, and my camera knew how to get the shots, so with that I had started photographing. I hope you'll agree, The end results where worth the nerves and the anticipation!
Sarah and Craig are an absolutely fantastic couple, They where married on the 12/1/2013 what a fantastic way to start the year! I loved the fact that I had the opportunity to share their day with them, and capture all the incredible memories that It held. The weather behaved itself too, although bitterly cold, nearly everyone had stayed outside to get the shots I needed before heading to the reception.
The reception was fantastic, The air was thick with happiness and we managed to get some fantastic fun shot's of everyone enjoying themselves.
I would like to thank Sarah and Craig for choosing me to photograph (and be part of) your special day.

We received another letter from one of our clients on the website today! Check it out:
"I called Furreal's Pet Sitting at the last minute…for an emergency. I was heading out of town and my plans for "doggie care" fell through. I was nervous when I left town but was so relieved to get the text messages and pictures of the "babies" and then to return home and see how happy and well cared for they were. They are puppies and did a few naughty things but I didn't come home to a mess… I was very please with your services and the love that Hope, Bert and Ernie received." –S.Z.
We are so happy to have you as a customer and thank you so much for the feedback! Nothing brings a smile to my face more than a satisfied client!

By Kalsang Rinchen
March 27, 2009
Dharamsala, March 26 -- With the Chinese
government brushing aside the video images of
Chinese police beating unarmed and handcuffed
Tibetans as "fake", the Tibetan government based
here said on its website that the videos were
authentic and that it can prove the authenticity of the video footages.
"We stand by the credibility and can guarantee
the genuineness of the footages," said Thubten
Samphel, the spokesperson of the exile Tibetan
government that turned fifty this year.
The footages testify to what is truly happening
in Tibet as recently as 2008, he said.
The exile Tibetan government made available for
media last week what it called rare video
footages showing Chinese paramilitary police
resorting to extreme brutality on Tibetan
protesters after last year's March unrest against Chinese rule.
Youtube which carried the video was blocked in
China since Monday. Confirming the censorship,
Google which owns the site said it noticed that
traffic to China started slowing down on Monday
and that by Tuesday morning, it was totally blocked.
A Chinese government spokesman said, according to
a report by BBC, "We encourage the active use of
the internet but also manage the internet according to law."
The exile Tibetan government says about 220
Tibetans had died and over 1,294 were seriously
injured as of 31 January 2009 partly as a result of such beatings.

Hey! My name's Jack. I'm a FOCUS missionary.
Hey! My name's Jack. I'm a FOCUS missionary.
I have been called to serve college student and to share my life and my love of Christ with them! I spend my time meeting with students, leading Bible studies, and sharing my life with the students of Valparaiso University in Indiana.
I have been Catholic my entire life, and though I never left the Church, I never really understood Jesus or had any relationship with Him. It was in college that I got involved with a Bible study that was run by a FOCUS missionary. He helped me to grow in my faith and through a retreat put on by FOCUS I experienced Christ and His love in a radical way during prayer. My desire is to share with students this love and joy that Christ has given to me so that they might come to know Him.
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I am so blessed to have such amazing people who have joined me in the mission I serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I'd be honored to share this mission with you.
We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on …

Updated: Unbanned for ISBoxer with Guild Wars 2
Tonight I was kicked out of the game and when attempting to log back in I am given a message that my account has been terminated due to botting, etc. etc.
I opened a support ticket and indicated that I was playing several accounts at the same time and while playing the game, I was kicked out. I don't use anything other than ISBoxer on 3 computers with 12 accounts. The irony is that I'm doing exactly the same as other players except that I'm grouped with myself instead of with other people. But I complete the game's maps by doing the content in the maps before moving on. I don't farm, I don't sell anything on the trading post, I do nothing that even remotely looks like I'm a bot in any way shape or form. All I do is play the game except with many characters at the same time. But apparently ArenaNet doesn't like that for some reason and brings out the ban hammer and states that I'm using an illegal third party program.
Here is the complete ticket with response from support.

Your Guild Wars 2 account has been closed for using an illegal third-party program.
I want you to know that we take great care when analyzing accounts prior to termination. NCsoft support staff is both diligent and conservative in determining which accounts are using these programs, and we only terminate an account only after we are able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that such use has occurred.

While playing Guild Wars 2 today, a message box popped up that said my account was blocked. When I try to log in, I'm told my Guild Wars 2 account has been terminated due to botting, ....
I was playing the game at my keyboard pressing keys and using the mouse. I don't use any form of automation. Earlier I asked a player "How's it going?" and he typed in "I'll say after submitting my report".
I enjoy playing Guild Wars 2 and if there was any whisper or any discussion to me, I would have responded. I even typed to the player and asked him "How's it going?" and for some reason he didn't like that I was playing several accounts at the same time. I'm not exactly sure why I was given this action against me as I play the game. I complete maps by doing all vistas, all points of interest, all hearts and all waypoints. I have 12 accounts that I play on 3 computers.
The Guild Wars 2 User Agreement states that several accounts can be played. I submitted a question to the support team and was given this response by GM Mourdyth:
Thanks for contacting us! Owning and using more than one Guild Wars 2 account is not against the user agreement, as long as there is no automation. If you have any other questions or concerns about this or any other issues, please let us know.

Snack Attack – Spiced Nut Mix
One of my personal pitfalls of staying on track in my diet is snacking. I'll do great, eating healthy, fresh food for my meals…and then get lured by the chips, dips, candy, etc at a work shoot…or the Coffee Bean around the corner that is begging me to eat a rice krispie treat…and BOOM it's over. Creating your own snacks ahead of time for when these instances occur is like having a little angel on your shoulder saying "Don't…do..it…" Really quite helpful the little guy.
In terms of snacks, it really doesn't get much easier than making yourself a big batch of spiced nuts (immature snicker). They're easy to make in bulk, and you basically can't possibly mess this recipe up! You don't have to use the exact combo of nuts that I used – feel free to create your own combos!
Few handfuls of hazelnuts
Few handfuls of pistachios (shelled)
Few handfuls of almonds
Few handfuls of walnuts
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 T olive oil
DIRECTIONS: Grab your largest skillet and heat it up over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is nice and hot, go ahead and put all of your nuts into the pan. Roast the nuts in the large skillet until they are lightly browned. Keep a good eye on these and keep stirring them around so you don't just wind up with one black side and one raw side! While they are roasting, combine your spices into a bowl. When they're finished to your liking, put the nuts in a large bowl (I like to put them directly into a tuppaware for easy transportation to work/the gym). Coat them with olive oil. Pour the spice mixture onto the coated nuts and mix well.
There you have it – the perfect tasting, spicy, snack for when the Cookie Monster wants to come out and play!

text: The UN says at least 23,544 people have been displaced on May 18-22 owing to the fighting in Raqqa [Rodi Said/Reuters] At least 13 people have been killed in suspected US-led coalition air strikes on the ISIL-held city of Raqqa and suspected rocket attacks fired by a Kurdish group fighting ISIL, a monitoring group has said. Some of the deaths in the northern city on Sunday evening resulted from air strikes blamed on the US-led coalition, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Monday. The death toll also included civilians killed in rocket attacks by the Ghadab al-Furat group (dubbed Wrath of the Euphrates) on Sunday, the Observatory said. Syria: SDF makes gains in Raqqa Ghadab al-Furat is a Kurdish group fighting under the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). They launched a campaign in October 2016 to retake Raqqa, the de facto capital of ISIL in northern Syria. The SDF, which includes the powerful Kurdish YPG armed group, said last week it plans to launch the final assault on Raqqa city in early summer. US Central Command said in a press release on Sunday that it conducted 17 air strikes targeting ISIL in Syria, destroying two ISIL bases in Deir Az Zor and three ISIL headquarters near Raqqa. It did not mention civilian casualties in its report. READ MORE: Civilian toll rises in deadliest month in US-led raids Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, an activist group in Raqqa, said on Sunday that a school was targeted by the US-led coalition in Mansoura, west of Raqqa city. The school was destroyed in the attack, the group said. The activists said on Thursday that Raqqa city was targeted with at least 30 coalition air strikes and 80 rocket attacks by the SDF, killing at least 35 civilians in the past 24 hours. 4- Photos show the destruction because of the artillery shelling by #YPG on #Raqqa city"Almror-Alnoor-Alqwatli"neighborhoods yesterday night pic.twitter.com/aaf8qF1fCS — الرقة تذبح بصمت (@Raqqa_SL) May 29, 2017 The SDF has been encircling Raqqa since November. Earlier this month, its fighters captured Tabqa, a previously ISIL-held town some 50km west of Raqqa, and a strategic dam nearby. The UN said in a report that on May 14, at least 23 farm workers, including 17 women, were reportedly killed when air strikes hit al-Akershi village in a rural area of eastern Raqqa province. Other air strikes on two residential areas of the ISIL-controlled city of Abo Kamal in eastern Deir Az Zor province the following day (May 15), reportedly killed at least 59 civilians (including 16 children and 12 women) and injured another 70. READ MORE: Syrians' suffering persists after returning to former ISIL-held town The day after that, ISIL fighters are said to have cut the throats of eight men at the sites of the air strikes,after accusing them of providing coordinates for the strikes. 'Coalition strikes kill 106 civilians' in Al Mayadeen Earlier in May, the Observatory reported the highest monthly civilian death toll for the coalition's campaign in Syria. Between April 23 and May 23, 2017, coalition air strikes killed at least 225 civilians in Syria, including dozens of children. The US military had said coalition air strikes in Iraq and Syria had "unintentionally" killed a total of 352 civilians since 2014. At least 23,544 civilians have been displaced on May 18-22, the UN said in a press release last week. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad al- Hussein last week urged all states' air forces operating in the country to take much greater care to distinguish between legitimate military targets and civilians. "The same civilians who are suffering indiscriminate shelling and summary executions by ISIL, are also falling victim to the escalating air strikes, particularly in the northeastern governorates of Raqqa and Deir Az Zor," Zeid said.

Poverty will often force a man into sobriety because of the lack of funds with which to purchase more to drink. Prosperity, on the other hand, gives us the money, the leisure and inclination to celebrate that prosperity.
Far too frequently the new man climbs out of the gutter, gets a job and becomes re-established with his family and does well until a payday puts cash in his pocket again.
That bank roll which you think you want may be the very thing you least want.Hazelden Foundation

President Ruscio's Statement on Washington Post Article Regarding Admissions Data
The Washington Post published an article on Sunday (Sept. 22, 2013) about how colleges and universities report the number of applicants. Our admissions office was forthcoming with the Post reporter about our policies and procedures, and the article itself suggested that our reported data are clearly within the guidelines of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) or the Common Data Set (CDS). However, the article left an impression that W&L and others inflate data to their own advantage.
I believe that we are acting in accordance with the applicable guidelines and in a manner consistent with how other colleges and universities approach this process. Nevertheless, if there are questions about our policy, we will address them forthrightly and transparently. Our credibility is fundamental to everything that we do.
In this spirit, I have asked a group to examine the various issues outlined in the article. Sidney Evans, vice president for student affairs, will chair the group. She will be joined by Beau Dudley '74, '79, executive director of alumni affairs, and Marc Conner, associate provost and the James Ballengee Professor of English. They will work with the admissions office and report to me by October 15.
It is important to assure the community that we have examined our procedures carefully and, if appropriate, made adjustments.

This is a tiny but beautiful mammoth ivory netsuke of Japanese man drinking soup. Notice the beautiful expressions of satisfaction, as he sits comfortably on a cushion, holding a soup bowl in his left hand and stirs the soup with the right hand. Notice the traditional Oriental robes and woven sandals. Dressed traditionally with a smile on his face, it reflects the contentment that a bowl of soup provides. Look at the slightly upraised eyebrows, and lines on his forehead that gives an impression as if he just looked up for the Master Carver to carve.
Japanese man drinking soup
The most unique aspect of the netsuke of Japanese man drinking soup is that the sculpture has been carved from a single piece of mammoth ivory tusk shard. Capturing a life-like look, The Master Carver has managed to etch and carve the tiny details that bring to life a normal man going about his life. Notice the slight smirk, the dimpled cheek and the casual pose of the Japanese man drinking soup.
Sitting over a bolster, notice the rounded edge that has hand painted motifs. He rests against a bundle of logs, ensuring that he is comfortable. See the pants are tucked inside woven bamboo mat and tied at the ankle. This is a typical working man's traditional dress, lending a rustic look to the complete sculpture. See the strapped sandals and when the sculpture is turned on its bottom, the logs of wood have two holes at the bottom.
Though netsuke provided as a bead and toggle for kimono dresses to hold on to external pockets, today netsuke are collectibles. Mammoth ivory is rare and precious and only a few Master Carvers have the skills to craft a minuscule ivory figurine or netsuke with such details.
Mammoth ivory TUSKS are absolutely legal worldwide. You can read more about Mammoth Ivory in our education Center.
