Fighting Islamic State in Libya
Writing about Banyan Marsus's operation to retake Sirte from the Islamic State and the breakthroughs of June 9, The Economist has done what it excels at: condensing a very complex story into a readable and succinct overview.
Now the jihadists are hitting back in an attempt to retake the port and other areas. Hundreds of its fighters, many from abroad, remain holed up in Sirte. The GNA's offensive has stalled. Its forces, made up mostly of militias from Misrata, in the west, have thus far shown a willingness to take casualties. More than 100 of their men have died and some 500 have been injured. But in order to clear Sirte of jihadists, more sacrifice will be needed…. Many of the group's leaders are thought to have slipped out of Sirte and gone south. The GNA had threatened its offensive for weeks, so the jihadists knew it was coming. Though aided by American and British soldiers, who are helping with logistics and intelligence, the GNA's forces failed to secure all of the routes out of Sirte. That would have needed better co-ordination with local militias. "Even if Sirte is liberated, that does not mean that IS is gone from Libya," says Jason Pack of Eye On ISIS in Libya, a monitoring service….
The GNA's quick advance has, for now, weakened Mr Haftar's claim to be the West's best hope of defeating Libya's jihadists. He looms over the eastern government and is often considered a spoiler of efforts to unify the country. Some say he is losing recruits to the GNA. But it too has been exposed. Its fighting force, drawn from the western town of Misrata, is much the same as the one that backed the old western government and battled Mr Haftar. "It is not a unity government, just a rebranding of Misratan militias," says Mr Pack. Their loyalty can be fickle. Last year they fought another militia that is now attacking IS from the east.

On April 7, 2017, Azadeh Keivani was invited to present AMON at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Her talk focused on the recent results of AMON realtime and archival analysis. The presence of Swift and Fermi scientists in the audience created interesting discussions about followup observations of the two NASA satellites as well as brainstorming ideas for using Fermi GBM data as a realtime triggering stream.
Azadeh also got the chance to receive a great tour of the James Webb Space Telescope by Dr. David Thompson at Goddard. The picture here shows current ongoing tests on the telescope while it is facing down (see the golden reflection on the floor).

I wanted to see what a "nonpartisan" group's website looks like, so I figured I'd check out Activate Worcester.
Looks pretty nonpartisan to me!
Remember — "It was not meant to be an election rally for people." I am seriously offended that anyone would get that impression:
And let's not forget — something for everyone:

In looking back at ICHEP, what are my personal overall impressions? The conference was very well organised (with the minor exception of the dinner), the venue was great (as were the conference bag and its contents), the President felt obliged to attend -- so it was clearly a good and successful conference overall.
It was also pretty big (for a physics conference, not in the greater scheme of such things), in fact almost too big for my taste; perhaps it's just that as a theorist I'm naturally more introverted, but I find it difficult to meet people and start a conversation when there's a huge crowd. Smaller more focussed conferences are probably better for discussions; there was also a notable lack of questions in the plenary talks -- perhaps also a symptom of excessive size.
On the other hand, the huge size means a very diverse set of speakers, which enables one to learn about all the things that have recently gone on in the wider field. Since the arXiv is getting so vast that it is well-nigh impossible to even read the titles of all papers that get posted to the hep-* sections (much less the abstracts, to say nothing of the papers -- even assuming that one had the exceptionally broad knowledge base to be able to make sense of all of them), this overview is perhaps the most important function of a large conference like ICHEP.
And the things to be learnt were of great interest: CMS and ATLAS have "rediscovered" the Standard Model; that in itself is no surprise, but the speed at which the LHC experiments have managed to get there is amazing at least for this theorist. The arrival of the LHC hasn't rung the death-knell for the Tevatron quite yet, though: while rumours of a Higgs discovery turned out to have no foundation in fact (a 2σ deviation is hardly a basis even for a rumour), CDF and D0 combined could exclude a much larger mass region for the Higgs, further narrowing down the regions where it can hide. Also from the Tevatron comes the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry that may be the first sign of new physics if it is confirmed by another experiment. Away from the big colliders, the neutrino physicists and cosmologists are also doing impressive work and chipping away at the Standard Model's plinth. The representation of my own field of research was perhaps not optimally suited to the audience, since the parallel sessions on lattice QCD were not very well-attended except by the lattice people and the plenary talk concentrated on work that would likely have enraptured a nuclear physics audience, but probably not a HEP one. Overall, I got the impression that the experimentalists take ICHEP much more serious as a forum than we theorists do -- there were a lot of new experimental results presented for the first time at ICHEP, whereas most of the theoretical results had been presented at other conferences or been posted on the arXiv earlier.
Blogging a conference as part of a group rather than on my own blog was an interesting new experience; for a lone blogger, ICHEP would have been way too big!

UNITED NATIONS, United States - UN Chief Ban Ki-moon has repeated his call for all sides in the conflict in Yemen to "immediately cease all hostilities," following a devastating series of raids resulting in numerous civilian deaths and injuries.
In a statement on Wednesday, Ban urged "all parties to the conflict to immediately cease all hostilities and for the Yemeni parties to return to direct talks facilitated by his special envoy for Yemen."
He reminded all parties "of the utmost necessity to protect civilians and to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law."
Ban condemned a reported airstrike that hit east of Sanaa in Nehm, killing at least nine civilians.
He also denounced attacks, which appeared to come from Yemen, which were said to have killed at least seven civilians when a workshop was hit Tuesday in Najran, Saudi Arabia.
That blow caused Saudi Arabia's worst civilian death toll in the kingdom's south since the Arab coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015.
"Civilians, including children, are paying the heaviest price in the ongoing conflict, as civilian infrastructure, such as schools and hospitals, continue to be hit," he said.
Ban expressed alarm at "the escalation of airstrikes and ground fighting in Yemen and along the Saudi Arabia-Yemen border" since the suspension in early
August of UN-brokered peace talks in Kuwait.
The United Nations says more than 6,500 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since last March and more than 80 percent of the population needs humanitarian aid. — AFP

After a few moments of wide-eyed awe I immediately became aware that if such technological marvels were possible with code, then anything was possible with code. Thus I began my joyous pursuit of a higher understanding of all things programming related.

A few of my family and friends have begun to complain about the lack of Canadian cuisine on a blog partially dedicated to Canadian food! I plan to remedy this over the next few months, but for now, I leave you with a recipe for tourtière, a delightful Quebecois dish.
True tourtière lovers are passionate about this dish – some even refusing to call certain meat pies tourtière if they are not "authentic" enough. I myself am not fussy about the recipe as long as it is perfectly moist! There is nothing more disappointing after smelling this dish than to take your first bite and despair at its dryness. Luckily, my grandmother's recipe is the antithesis of dry tourtière – deliciously moist and full of flavour, there is everything to love about this meat pie.
Instead of a double crust, I often oft for a lattice, which is far prettier and makes for lighter dinner fare. While many people use broth to moisten their pie and spices such as cinnamon and cloves to spice it, this recipe's secret ingredient is cream of mushroom soup. It adds just the perfect amount of creaminess, while retaining the richness in flavour. This recipe makes enough for two pies, so we traditionally savour this dish on Christmas Eve, freezing the second one to enjoy a few weeks later!
(makes two 9-inch deep crust pies)
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 1/2 lbs lean ground pork
1 small onion, minced
1/2 cup HP sauce
1 cup chili sauce
1 10-oz tin of cream of mushroom soup
1 Tbsp dry mustard
3 Tbsp Worcester sauce
Pastry for 2 9-inch double crusts or a lattice
Beaten egg white
Brown meat and onions. Drain fat, add remaining ingredients, and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes. (If you taste test at this point, don't worry if the flavour is slightly odd – as it simmers, the flavours will mellow and meld together beautifully). Cool meat mixture.
Meanwhile, roll out pastry to fit pie plates. Divide meat mixture evenly between the two pies, and top with pastry (or lattice). Pierce pastry with fork to create steam vents. Brush the pastry with beaten egg white.
Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes. Let pies cool slightly and enjoy! Delicious served with pickled mustard relish or fruit chutney.
To freeze pies: cool, wrap, and freeze for up to three months. To serve, thaw overnight in fridge and reheat before serving.
Bon appetit!
– Catherine

South-South Collaboration
The Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme is strongly committed to fully exploit the great potential that international, regional, sub-regional and ecosystem-specific networking, as well as South-South and North-South-South cooperation programmes have in ensuring environmental sustainability, reducing the rate of loss of biodiversity and related ecosystem services, and achieving sustainable development on appropriate levels.
One of the flagship projects is the South-South Cooperation Programme for Environmentally Sound-Socio Economic Development in the Humid Tropics, coordinated since 1992 by the UNESCO Division of Ecological and Earth Sciences which hosts the Secretariat of the MAB Programme, The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) and the United Nations University (UNU). The Programme focuses on testing instruments for South-South cooperation in humid tropical areas, with special emphasis on:
- network building,
- technology transfer and
- improvement of management know-how for UNESCO biosphere reserves.
The Programme has greatly benefited universities and research institutions in the Amazon region in terms of improving collaboration among institutions with similar interests, strengthening and building scientific capacity and increasing negotiation capabilities with regard to sustainable and equitable management of biodiversity.
In 2009, through the UNESCO Chair in South-South Cooperation for Sustainable Development, the Programme has expanded to other relevant humid tropic countries, and a memorandum of cooperation was signed by the Federal University of Pará (Brazil), the University of Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) and the Indonesian National MAB Committee to strengthen cooperation in science and higher education with the view of increasing the local capacity for carrying out management, research and training in the humid tropics environment.
The South-South Co-operation Programme is sponsored by Germany through the Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation (BMZ) and Japan.

Thanks to everyone's generosity, our fundraising efforts are beginning to gather momentum. Ages ago I said that I wanted to send Old MacDonald's Farm to Africa - well, we're getting there. Actually, we've just passed the half way mark. So please keep it coming in!
The one thing I don't like about fundraising is the money part of it - yeah, I know its all about money but its so much nicer to think of your donations in terms of a flock of chickens (£15), half a beehive (£20) or almost a pair of goats (£100)! Recently we started haggling with my cousin over his donation - was it to be a flock of chicken or half a beehive? Our car boot sale experience paid off as we gently persuaded him to be more generous and he ended up giving half a beehive - it was probably helped by the amount of wine we'd already consumed.
Just a thought: hope we're giving an even number of "half beehives" otherwise there's going to be a swarm of bees without a queen,or do you think she's in the first half and doesn't have enough workers?
Am I going to be mean enough and remind another cousin that his wife said that she would donate a goat to this great cause! Yes I am, and there were witnesses!

An English Home Where White Paint Allows Colors to Pop
I started settling into my Chicago apartment five years ago and was very careful about how I decorated it. It was the first time I had lived on my own, after all, and I wanted it to be just right. After some serious mood-boarding and deliberation, my first purchase ended up being a vintage rocking chair. I was such a planner, the poor thing sat solo in my living room for a good month before I slowly began filling in the home around it. While it took much longer for it to all come together, I cherished this ability to go back and forth on all manner of decor decisions and to really plan out what I wanted my space to feel and look like.
Crafty mom Betina Bianculli, on the other hand, was in a different boat when she, her partner Joel and daughter Manuela moved into their Norwich, England home. They agreed to play host to Betina's mother a mere three weeks after moving in. It seemed daunting, but the strict deadline lit a fire underneath the brood, and they quickly began prepping for what was sure to be a decorating sprint. The first step was coating many spots in the house in white paint. Fanatical color-lover Betina knew this clean slate would offer the perfect backdrop to any kind of furniture or statement piece that came her way, no matter the style. In fact, her strategy worked so well she even extended the shade to the bedrooms' wood floors. Manuela's flamenco dress and orange bunk bed stand out more than ever when displayed in such a clean setting, and Betina's cacti-patterned bedding takes center stage thanks to the recessive floor color.
The most impressive improvements occurred in the kitchen and bathroom. Yes, believe it or not, they were overhauled in three weeks as well. What was once an outdated, avocado bathroom is now light and fresh thanks to its coat of colorless paint and accessories that pop. And by simply installing new IKEA cabinetry and yet another fresh coat of white, the kitchen glows like new. Each of these spaces were topped off by a final sweep of style: the addition of travel souvenirs, photography and mementos. They were put in place just in time for Betina's mother's arrival.
At the end of the hustle and bustle, she came and went, and the family had a grand time. With the scramble to kickstart it behind them, their home now plays host to making memories, laughter and all of the shenanigans a young family can get into. A portrait of Betina's idol, Frida Kahlo, looks down from the mantel onto all the family does, grinning at the pretty life they're building together and the strength and creativity Betina and Joel are passing onto Manuela. Enjoy! —Garrett

White spirits fall
from cloud batter skies.
The world turns to something new.
Icy streams gather around
the empty limbs
of barren trees.
Lengthening longer
as day passes on,
they flicker like stars
held only inches from the ground.
There are no tracks
in this foreign land.
only effortless horizons
dotted by the formidable pine.
The snow wraps the rocky surface
like a soft blanket
tenderly covering
the nourishing world beneath.
Buried below the air's ashes
is the slow bearing heart
of another season,
silently waiting
for the Sun's power
to wake again.

Our Story
Weevil Outdoor is a lifestyle brand which combines it's unique sense of style with quality products and services to help inspire people to "Get Off the Couch and Go Outside!"
"Where does the company name Weevil come from?" Well, since there are many different species of weevils that exist in the world (each with their own niche') and we share a passion for many different outdoor activities, the name "Weevil" felt like a perfect fit!
2010 - THE BEGINNINGS. Weevil Outdoor began as an idea between two longtime friends. Through the use of illustrations and clean design, the pair set out to create hats and shirts that showcased some of the diverse outdoor activities they loved. Pulling from their interests in mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding, and climbing...Weevil Outdoor was born!
THINGS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. Now, with a few years under our belts, we have expanded Weevil Outdoor to include MTB jersey / mountain bike jerseys, outerwear, beanies, and the innovative catch-all, bomb proof bag known only as the YUKSAK. We've also launched our Custom Program which brings us together with like-minded small businesses to create fun and inspiring collaborations. Weevil's unique take on the outdoors can be found coast to coast as the grass roots effort of friends and fans continues to spread the motto..."GET OFF THE COUCH AND GO OUTSIDE!"
We hope you enjoy what we do.

The highly anticipated Mitchell report played to highly mixed reviews among anti-doping officials and crusaders.
To some, former Sen. George Mitchell might have just hit a game-winning home run.
To others, he took a great big swing at baseball's great big steroids problem, and missed.
"It was a recitation of history. It was another validation there's a problem. But we've got to do better than that," said Gary Wadler, a New York physician and consultant to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) who found the report long on pages (409 of them) but short on new insights and initiatives.
"I wanted to know the testing numbers, to know specific recommendations for changing the testing program," Wadler SAID. "I got nothing of this."
To WADA chairman Dick Pound, the ballyhooed report betrayed just how little some things have changed with Major League Baseball.
"The players' association has behaved outrageously in refusing to cooperate," Pound said. "I don't understand how [union members] have allowed their leadership to do this. Every baseball player walking down the street has people looking at him and thinking, 'He's a user.'"
The reality is it will require union buy-in to implement some of Mitchell's key recommendations. One is turning drug-testing over to an independent administrator. (It's now handled by a committee made up of representatives from the players' union and ownership.) Another is conducting year-round, no-notice testing. The current system, part of MLB's collective bargaining agreement, was negotiated in 2005 and is to be in force until 2011.
While that deal toughened baseball's drug-testing procedures and sanctions, it still left MLB in an untenable position, according to Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
"You can't both promote and police your report; it doesn't work," Tygart said, noting that WADA and USADA were created as independent agencies after Olympics organizations proved ineffective at regulating doping.
Tygart liked Mitchell's call for an independent drug-testing administrator. USADA would be a logical candidate for the job. He also liked Mitchell's call for a stronger investigation arm in the commissioner's office to look into illicit drugs. USADA worked alongside federal prosecutors to investigate Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative.
But Tygart didn't like Mitchell's recommendation of amnesty, or something like it, for the players named in the report.
"I think any violation that undermines the integrity of a sport should be dealt with," said Tygart, who called the report's release "a sad day for the national pastime."
But in its own way, some experts believe, Thursday might also prove to be a red-letter day.
"This is a historic event, just as March 17, 2005 was," said John Hoberman, a University of Texas professor who has chronicled the history of sports doping, referring to the congressional hearings on steroids. "Mitchell has just hit everybody involved with a big club."
As Hoberman sees it, commissioner Bud Selig fell into step immediately with Mitchell's findings and recommendations. And while MLBPA chief Donald Fehr did not, the report rachets up the pressure on the union to give further ground on drug matters, just as the congressional hearings did. (The union agreed to stricter drug testing and sanctions in November 2005, as Congress was considering taking action of its own.)
Donald Hooton, a central figure in the March 2005 hearings in Washington, was present at Mitchell's presentation in New York. He is the brother of former big league pitcher Burt Hooton and the father of Taylor Hooton, a Texas schoolboy whose death was linked to steroids use. He was a powerful witness for steroids' potentially tragic consequences.
Hooton was thrilled that the report touched on steroids' impact not just on major leaguers but schoolboy players, too. He was happy to hear Selig tell him, in a meeting after the Mitchell news conference, that, "MLB is going to implement all of these recommendations that are up to management."
MLB contributed $1 million over two years (2005 and 2006) to the Taylor Hooton Foundation, started by the late pitcher's father to promote steroids education. Donald Hooton hopes to get more funding now to help MLB implement another Mitchell recommendation: more steroids education.
Hooton sees the Mitchell report itself as an educational -- and impactful -- document.
"There have been a series of waves on this -- the hearings, BALCO, Bonds -- and I think today was another one of them," he said. "They have raised awareness about steroids and lately they have raised consciousness about the penalties. You can go to jail. You can give up your reputation. Before, I don't think that got through to kids."
For Donald Hooton, the unveiling of the Mitchell report made for some amazing moments: standing near the senator as he gave his presentation; meeting with the commissioner in his office.
But the most amazing of all, he said, was the thought that hit him at one point during Thursday's proceedings: "Taylor is alive."

A step that I completed three times this past weekend. Having done it for the past five years, I really don't need any instruction, I now know it is required. That is only one of the things that must be done when you visit a prisoner. Those who are familiar with the routine don't give it a thought, but it is discomforting to someone who visits for the first time.
Knowledge is the main key to a successful visit. Visiting a prison is not scary, it is just different. Security measures and dress codes must be adhered to. Your freedoms are also restricted to insure the safety and control of all inside those doors. Prisoners in a visiting room are not horrible people to be terrified of, they are just people who made a mistake at some point in their life. They are in that visiting room spending cherished time with friends, their parents, spouse, children, grandparents. Anyone who is on their visiting list and has been cleared to visit.
So what is involved in visiting a prisoner? While I can only speak for Michigan, I would presume that other states have similar practices and requirements. Step one is the prisoner has to fill out a visitors list, putting on it the people who will or may visit him. Before a person can go inside a state prison to visit they must fill out an application and submit it to the prison, then wait to obtain clearance. Once you have received clearance it "moves" with you if the prisoner should be transferred to another location.
Once approved you are free to visit the prisoner during that prison's designated visiting times. Information regarding each prison's visiting hours and other important information can be located online. You may want to call the prison to verify whether their vending machines use cash or if you have to purchase and load a vending card. You will need quarters for a locker where you will be required to store your car keys, jackets, or any other items you carry in but are not allowed to take into the visiting room. Keep in mind that most prisons do not allow you to bring your cell phone, beeper, pager, or any other similar devise inside the building. Those items must be left in your car.
The easiest way to go about this is to take in the cash you plan to use for vending (some prisons require quarters only in a clear plastic bag and limit the dollar amount per person), your vending card or funds to load one, your picture ID, and your car keys. You are not allowed to wear anything, such as a watch, that contains a battery or is electronic, but other jewelry is allowed. An inventory of all jewelry, belts, glasses, and medical items, such as an ankle brace, will be noted at check-in, and then verified that it is still with you at check-out. That is not because they think someone is going to steal it off you, but to make sure that a visitor has not transferred contraband to a prisoner. Prisoners are also searched/patted down prior to the visit and again go through a "shake down" after the visit.
Keep in mind that clothing should be conservative — no short shorts, low-cut or revealing clothing such as skin tight leggins, no hoodies, no jackets/coats in the visiting room. The only thing you are allowed to carry into the room is your funds or vending card and your locker key.
So, you've done your preliminary steps, you have been approved, you know when to visit, how to dress, how to bring in funds for vending machines. Now what? If possible, it is best to advise your prisoner in advance the date and anticipated time when you plan to visit. This allows the prisoner to be properly clothed for a visit and to be where his Commanding Officer can quickly locate him. My son knows the estimated time of my arrival and is able to see me drive by from his bunk window. When he sees my car go by he walks up by his C.O. and awaits the call from the visiting room so he can be released for a visit. This helps to shorten the time you have to wait before the visit begins.
When you arrive at the prison take in only the limited items mentioned above and lock everything else in your car. You will need to complete a sign-in sheet where you fill out your personal information, including your name, address, birth date, the license plate of your car, the prisoner's number, and your relationship to the prisoner. You will need to present picture ID, which they will hold until you leave. They will note any jewelry you are wearing: 2 earrings, one ring, one pair of glasses, etc. The desk will call back to the prisoner's bunk and advise the C.O. that the prisoner has a visit.
If your prisoner sent anything up to the desk for you to take home you will receive it from the visitor's desk, will be instructed to sign that you have picked up. It is always a good idea for the prisoner to let you know ahead of time what they have sent to be picked up so you have some knowledge of what to expect. Items they send to the front for pickup are only held for thirty days. At my most recent visit I had to pick up a large envelope, a very heavy box filled with paperwork and books, and a huge plastic bag filled with numerous items my son had crocheted since my prior stop. I have a small hand cart I take with me which helps in transporting the items going home from the building to the parking lot.
Make sure you have the appropriate money and/or vending card purchased and loaded before going back to the visiting room. It is also a good idea to use the restroom prior to your visit, as bathroom visits are limited, require you to be escorted out by a guard, and also require another complete search and pat-down prior to re-entering the visiting room.
Once your prisoner arrives in the visitor area (you will not see this, he will arrive through a separate entry), he will be patted down, enter the visiting room, and be either standing at attention near the doorway until you arrive, or be already seated at an area he was instructed to use by the visiting room officer. Once he is in the visiting area you will be called and taken back.
You will walk through a scanner, then be told to remove your socks and shoes and show the guard the bottom of your feet. If it is warm enough, sandals make this step much easier. You will then put your footwear back on. You will be asked to open your mouth and raise your tongue. You will have to stand with your back to the guard, legs spread, arms raised, and be patted down. You will have to pull out your pockets so they can be checked. If you are wearing a shirt with rolled up sleeves, they will have to be unrolled so they can be checked. All of these steps are to prevent contraband from entering the prison. The search and pat-down are done by a guard of the same gender as the visitor. Your hand will be marked with a black light pen and you will be then taken to the visiting room.
Visits in prisons are contact visits. This means you are in the same room with your prisoner and with all other prisoners who are having visits. Be aware that prisoners are not allowed to converse with each other in the visiting room. A cordial greeting is okay, but beyond that they can not congregate and or hold conversations with each other. When you enter the room you will spot your prisoner and go to where ever they are located. You are allowed to hug your prisoner upon greeting and upon leaving. There are usually cards and other games available on a shelf to use during the visit if you choose to, and also some toys for children. There are vending machines to purchase beverages, snacks and sandwiches. Keep in mind that this is usually food the prisoner is unable to get during their day-today life and so this is a special treat to be able to eat and drink items such as burgers, burritos, candy, and pop. They have limited items available in their commissary, but not all. I normally purchase the photos tickets and food for my son, only having a light snack myself during the entire day I am there. I go out to dinner after the visit. I generally go for about 8-9 hours per visit and spend between $25-$35 in vending per day.
Remember, everything in a prison is limited and controlled. The prisoner is not allowed to get up and walk around, they are not even allowed to approach the vending machines or area where games are stored. You will have to get everything on your own. Food items must be removed from their package and put on a paper plate before taking it to the table where you and your prisoner are seated. There are microwaves available in the visiting room for heating foods.
You will be able have photos taken of your prisoner solo and/or with you. Photo "tickets" are purchased either at the front desk as you check in or are cards that are purchased from the vending machine. The cost is very reasonable, $2.50 gets you two 4×6 prints of the photo, one for you to take home, one for the prisoner to keep. At some point during the visit you will be called up to have your photo taken before a mural in the visiting room. Photographer is one of the jobs that prisoners can hold while they are incarcerated. This is the one time when the prisoner is allowed to get up, walk over to have his photo taken, then return to his seat. The other is if he is going out for a restroom visit for which he is escorted out by a guard.
If you as a visitor need to use the restroom you will have to advise the guard at the desk. You will then go back to your seat and wait until another officer comes into the room to escort you out. They will sometimes make an announcement asking whether any additional women and/or men need to go, but sometimes it is not announced, so keep your eye out. It is often easier to go out when a group is going then have to wait later. Bathroom trips are limited and keep in mind you will again have to go through the metal detector, remove shoes, get patted down, etc. depending on how far outside of the visiting room you have to go to use a restroom.
If a visiting room becomes crowded some visitors may be asked to leave. The general rule is first in, first out. Some prisons base who is asked to leave first on the distance traveled to visit. If visitor one was in first but traveled 300 miles and visitor two only traveled 100 miles, visitor two may be asked to leave before visitor one. Generally they will make an announcement and ask for volunteers to leave prior to selecting who must go. I have only had to leave earlier than intended 2-3 times in the past five years, Father's Day being one of them. For that reason I now avoid visiting on that holiday.
When you are ready to leave you must advise the desk overseeing the waiting room, then go sit back down and wait. An officer will arrive in the visiting room to escort you out. Keep in mind that it may take some time before you are actually allowed to exit, and the wait may be extensive if it is during shift change or count. Your prisoner can advise you on when those things occur. You may hug your prisoner before departing, and if photos were taken you would have received two copies of each picture — one to leave with the prisoner, one to take home.
During the exit process you will be asked to pass your marked hand under a black light, they will verify you are wearing the same jewelry you entered with, and your drivers license will be returned to you. Retrieve your items out of the locker and you are free to go.
You have now survived your first prison visit. A simple walk in the prison. Nothing scary. Perfectly routine.

The crystal was translucent (also Kathyhaul) so I painted it with white pearl paint, sort of my version of foiling the back, which is what they do to make rhinestones look so cool and not just like faceted glass. ANYWAYS, usually its gold colored but I grabbed what was on hand and the effect is kinda magical. Birdie by potterygirl1.
These look straightforward enough but in reality took an almost Herculean effort, if you allow me some hyperbole and fancy vocabulary. The shell drops were crazy thick at- and only at- the tops. I had to slice that off with my flex shaft over the course of 58 dust-filled hours. When I drilled the one on the right, the whole tip broke off. Good thing I like asymmetry or I would never get anywhere with my makings. Anyway.

Roydon, Matthew (DNB00)
ROYDON, MATTHEW (fl. 1580–1622), poet, was possibly son of Owen Roydon who co-operated with Thomas Proctor in 1578 in the latter's 'Gorgious Gallery of Gallant Inventions.' Owen Roydon signs commendatory verses addressed to the 'curious company of sycophantes;' his initials, 'O. R.,' are attached to the first poem in the work itself, and he doubtless was responsible for many of the pieces that immediately follow. There were Roydon families settled in Kent, Surrey, Essex, and Norfolk, but to which branch Owen and Matthew Roydon belonged is doubtful. The latter is doubtless identical with 'Mathew Royden' who graduated M.A. at Oxford on 7 July 1580. He was soon afterwards a prominent figure in literary society in London, and grew intimate with the chief poets of the day, including Sidney, Marlowe, Spenser, Lodge, and Chapman. His friendship with Sidney he commemorated in his 'Elegie, or Friends passion for his Astrophill,' a finely conceived poem on Sidney's death. It was first published in the 'Phrenix Nest,' 1593, and was printed with Spenser's 'Astrophel ' in Spenser's 'Colin Clout,' 1595; and it reappears in all later editions of Spenser's works. In Nashe's 'Address to the gentlemen students of both universities,' prefixed to Greene's 'Arcadia' (1587), Roydon is mentioned with Thomas Achlow and George Peele as 'men living about London who are most able to provide poetry.' Roydon, Nashe proceeds, 'hath shewed himselfe singular in the immortall epitaph of his beloued "Astrophell," besides many other most absolute comike inuentions (made more publike by euery mans praise, then they can bee by my speech).' Francis Meres, in his 'Palladis Tamia' (1598), describes Roydon as worthy of comparison with the great poets of Italy. Apart from his elegy on Sidney, the only other compositions by Roydon in print are some verses before Thomas Watson's 'Sonnets ' (1581), and before Sir George Peckham's 'True Reporte ' (1583).
Meanwhile Roydon fell under the fascination of Marlowe, and he, Harriot, and William Warner are mentioned among those companions of the dramatist who shared his freethinking proclivities (cf. Harl. MS. 7042 f. 206; and arts. Marlowe, Christopher, and Ralegh, Sir Walter). Another of his literary friends, Chapman, dedicated to him his 'Shadow of Night' in 1594, and Ovid's 'Banquet of Sence' in 1595. In the former dedication Chapman recalls how he first learned from 'his good Mat' of the devotion to learning of the earls of Derby and Northumberland and of 'the heir of Hunsdon.' John Davies of Hereford addressed to Roydon highly complimentary verse in the appendix to his ' Scourge of Folly,' 1611.
In later life Roydon seems to have entered the service of Robert Radcliffe, fifth earl of Sussex, a patron of men of letters. Robert Armin [q. v.], when dedicating his 'Italian Taylor and his Boy' (1609) to Lady Haddington, the Earl of Sussex's daughter, refers to Roydon as 'a poetical light … which shines not in the world as it is wisht, but yet the worth of its lustre is known.' Armin expressed the hope that 'that pen-pleading poet, grave for years and knowledge, Maister Mathew Roidin,' may 'live and die beloved' in the Earl of Sussex's service. This friendly hope does not seem to have been realised. The poet fell on evil days in old age, and appealed for charity to Edward Alleyn, the actor and founder of Dulwich Hospital. From Alleyn he received 8d. in 1618, and 6d. in 1622 (Collier, Memoirs of Alleyn, p. 155).
The poet should doubtless be distinguished from Matthew Roydon who became fourth minor canon in St. Paul's Cathedral in 1603, and was still holding the office in 1621.
[Hunter's manuscript Chorus Vatum in Addit. MS. 24487 ff. 294-5; Armin's Nest of Ninnies (Shakespeare Soc. 1842), p. xviii; Brydges's Restituta, ii. 51-4.]

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Zsa Zsa Gabor, the curvy blonde actress known for her intriguing personal life, including nine marriages, her breathy accent and her habit of calling everyone "darling," died Sunday after reportedly suffering a heart attack. She was 99.
Gabor is survived by her ninth husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt.
The actress was born Sari Gabor in Budapest on Feb. 6, 1917. Her two sisters, Magda and Eva, also became actresses and she followed Eva to America, where she became a popular celebrity — famous for being famous.
Her lengthy film career began with 1952's "Lovely to Look At," and included spots in a dozen films and television series, including John Huston's "Moulin Rouge" (1952) and the 1958 film noir "Touch of Evil" by Orson Welles.
Gabor's marriages were the makings of endless headlines and among her husbands were actor George Sanders and hotel magnate Conrad Hilton.
"I am a marvelous housekeeper," she once said. "Every time I leave a man I keep his house."
She also noted, "Husbands are like fires. They go out when unattended."
Gabor often appeared as herself on the screen, including a memorable role in the 1991 film "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear."
She regularly appeared on the talk show "The Merv Griffin Show" during the 1960s and 1970s. Griffin also created the game show "Jeopardy!"
One of Gabor's toughest rounds of medical problems began while she was watching "Jeopardy." She broke her right hip and suffered a concussion in July 2010 when she fell out of bed while watching the U.S. quiz show. At one point, she received last rites.
Her now-deceased publicist, John Blanchette, told NewsCore after her initial fall, "She has been bedridden since her accident in 2002," referring to a car accident that left the actress partially paralyzed and forced her to use a wheelchair.
She also suffered a stroke in 2005.
In November 2011, she was rushed to the hospital after bleeding from the feeding tube in her stomach, according to her husband. That incident came only a month after she was taken to UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, where she previously had been admitted multiple times, after losing consciousness.
Gabor's right leg was amputated that same year after powerful antibiotics failed to clear up an infection. She was again hospitalized after screen legend Elizabeth Taylor died in March of that year. Gabor was quoted at the time as saying she feared she would be the next to go.

In the continuous effort to better the Customer Experience on Oman Air and provide customers with a new and easier channel for accessing information, Oman Air has partnered with Tamimah and Nawras, and is proud to announce a further enhancement to its SMS solution.
The new Oman Air SMS service gives access to scheduling, fare enquiries and booking status. Nawras customers can also use the service to update their local contact details or to make a request ordering a special meal or a preferred seat for example.
From now, Oman Air customers using a Nawras SIM-card will have an option to receive messages on various products and services offered by the airline.
"We urge customers in general and travel agents in particular to ensure their mobile numbers are provided at the time of booking so that passengers can be reached around the clock and 365 days" said Mr. Hamad Saif Al Harthy- Senior Manager Reservation and Global Distribution; of Oman Air. Its is also worth mentioning that in December 2008, Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman launched its SMS notification services which informed customers about any flight schedule changes or cancelations and this has now been extended to a complete and innovative SMS enquiry service.
On his part, Mohammed Al Najwani, Product Manager at Nawras said that the innovative communications provider was proud to be associated with Tamimah and the national carrier and to be the first to launch this important product.
Nawras, which commenced its operations in March 2005, has since pioneered the introduction of many creative new services for its customers such as VoiceSMS, prayer time notification and most recently, the entertaining BawaBaty wap portal.
"Nawras is committed to using the latest technology to bring convenience to customers in a user-friendly way. This service offers great value and a new channel of information to our national carrier, Oman Air," said Najwani.
Mr. O.K Ravi, General Manager of Tamimah Telecom, the pioneers of the SMS solution provider commented that Oman Air's SMS Information System is a new service offered to everyone who wants information via their mobile phone about Schedule Enquiry, Seat Availability, Fare enquiry, Flight Information and so on.
A complete list of services and how to use them can be obtained by sending "HELP" to 90910. He also commented that Tamimah is committed to contribute its core technology in the development and growth of Oman towards e-government.
Mohammed Al-Harthy, Chairman of Tamimah said "We believe in innovation and are happy to partner with Oman Air and Nawras in launching this innovative service which is one of the first of its kind in this region."
Oman Air's SMS Service is very easy to use. As an example, a customer who would like to check seat availability on a flight from Muscat to Salalah on the 09 July 2009 would send SA MCT SLL 0907 to the code 90910.
To find out the flight cost for the same date, the fare enquiry message would be FE MCT SLL 0907.
The service can even be accessed when travelling outside the Sultanate where international roaming rates would apply.

Help Save the Huntington Lighthouse
For more than a century, the Huntington Lighthouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has served as a trusted navigational aid to mariners, a treasured landmark for the community and an educational resource for visitors. In 1985, The U.S. Coast Guard was prepared to tear down the crumbling structure and replace it with a utilitarian steel stanchion housing the navigational aids. A local group was formed to save the structure, the first private group in the country to successfully take over and restore an offshore lighthouse. The non-profit organization, now called the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society, has raised funds for much needed restoration work largely from donations and the help of volunteers.
We are so close, but there is still work to be done and time is running short.
Despite significant construction to the lighthouse, much work remains to fully repair this beloved beacon. Ongoing fund raising efforts have covered much of the restoration work, but the largest project - and least glamorous – is the foundation repair. If you've ever tackled a home repair project you know that unexpected issues add to the original budget. Construction crews working on the lighthouse foundation unearthed more crumbling and deterioration than anticipated, adding to the scope of the project. We are two-thirds of the way to completion, but financially can't cross the finish line without your help. The new foundation will hold up our beloved light for another 100 years! Help us maintain this historic beacon of pride and hope for future generations.
HLPS has raised more than $500,000, which has enabled it to secure a $250,000 State of New York matching grant. That still leaves a gap of $180,000, which needs to be raised quickly in order to continue work. Our contractor deadline of June 25 is fast approaching! Without the additional funds, work stops, setting back the significant progress we've made and costing more to restart.
The time to donate and help is NOW. Many hands make light work!
Thank you and check back often to see pictures of the progress!

In their biggest sweep since 1928, Republicans in Maine last week re-elected three G.O.P. Congressmen and voted Republican Horace A. Hildreth, 41, into the governorship. GOPsters had reason to be elated:
¶ The C.I.O.-P.A.C., which had sent 1,300 New Dealing doorbell ringers into one Congressional district, took a spectacular beating.
¶ The vote was smallsmallest in 28 years. Dopesters who believe that Tom Dewey's chances in November will be enhanced by a small turnout at the polls thought the size of Maine's vote a good omen for Dewey.
¶ Whereas Maine's September 1940 gubernatorial vote was 63.8% Republican, its vote last week...

Did you know that joint problem is common in many dogs?
The most commonly affected areas are the elbows and the hips, and the joint problem can range from dog arthritis to hip dysplasia. Joint problem also varies in severity and degree – from mild and unnoticeable to debilitating and life-altering. Not only is joint problem a source of pain and discomfort, it can also hinder a lot of daily activities such as walking, exercising or playing.
If you want to provide your dog a sense of relief, it is important for you to know the signs, symptoms and the details of canine joint problems, so you can work with your vet with developing a sustainable treatment plan. Also, keep in mind that joint problem occurs at different stages of a dog's life. While some pets may develop joint problem in the first half of their lives, the signs and symptoms may not appear until the latter half of their lives.
Signs of Joint Pain
If your dog is experiencing joint pain, here are some signs that you should watch out for:
- Stiffness
- Slow movements
- Difficulty in standing
- Limping
- Refusal to jump or climb stairs
- Aversion to petting
- Swelling in the joints
- Aggressiveness and bad temper
Causes of Joint Pain
There are many ways a dog can get joint pain, but it can be generally classified into the following categories:
- Ligament, tendon, or muscle disease such as ruptured anterior cruciate ligament
- Fractures involving the joint
- Developmental disorders such as hip or elbow dysplasia
- Congenital disorders such as luxated patella or Wobbler's syndrome
- Dietary and hormonal disease such as obesity
- Metabolic disorders such as hemophilia
- Cancer
- Osteoarthritis
- Inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis
- Degenerative spinal joint disease such as intervertebral disc disease
Once you spot the telltale signs, it is important for you to take your dog to a veterinarian to properly identify the root cause of the joint pain. This is crucial in the development of a treatment plan that will help your dog regain mobility and strength.

LONDON & LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chrome River, a global leader in expense and invoice automation solutions, announces the launch of Chrome River FOLIO to deliver automatic hotel folio extraction into expense reports. With Chrome River FOLIO, travelers can simply forward emailed PDF or HTML hotel folios to their Chrome River account at the end of their stay, and a full line-item breakout will appear in their expense report in near-real-time.
Chrome River FOLIO, developed in conjunction with Traxo, uses e-folio parsing technology to automatically compare a hotel folio against a comprehensive repository of folio formats, extract the data, and then categorize it and export it to the traveler's Chrome River EXPENSE account. This enables individual items such as room, parking, tax, internet, restaurant and room service to be listed and allocated separately.
The solution will initially be available in English, French and German, with further languages to be added in the future. It will work with any hotel, from individual boutiques to global chains.
"We understand that one of business travelers' biggest peeves with expenses is inputting the receipt data into the system, as this can be incredibly time-consuming and frustrating, especially on a phone or a tablet," said Alan Rich, CEO of Chrome River. "The ability to automate this can dramatically streamline the expense reimbursement process and increase traveler happiness. Chrome River FOLIO is yet another way that our customers can easily enter expenses from a mobile phone without even needing to log on to the system. Whether it's an airline reservation email, hotel folio or simply a photo of a morning coffee receipt, our solution automatically creates line items, complete with all vendor, transaction and type data, so our users' expense reports practically write themselves."

In the heart of the Amazon, dense green foliage blankets the horizon as far as the eye can see. For millennia, its rich natural resources have supported human communities and an incredible diversity of wildlife species found nowhere else on the planet. This great and complex rainforest is also one of the world's most impactful ecosystems – Amazonian watersheds account for 20% of the world's river water.
However, the forests of the Peruvian Amazon are increasingly under threat from climate change, rapid development, and extractive activities like logging and mining. From the terra firme and flooded forests of the lowlands to the glacial lakes and tropical montane forests of the Andes, Peru's landscapes need comprehensive and inclusive strategies for conservation. Our research here provides important insights into the fate of the Amazon and all the life that depends on it.

Kenya Airways staff joined by Allied Workers Union for strike; Comair finalises financial results
Kenya Aviation and Allied Workers Union stated it will join the strike called by Kenya Airways (-4.1%) staff on 07-Sep-2010, over alleged non-implementation of the Aug-2009 return to work formula that ended a three-day strike. The 3500 unionised workers of the carrier went back to work after being promised a 20% increase in salaries among other benefits. According to the union not all of the agreements have been honoured by Kenya Airways management.
Comair (+2.4%) shares were the only African shares to rise on Tuesday (31-Aug-2010). On the same day the carrier announced it is finalising its results for the year ended 30-Jun-2010. A review of the financial results by management has indicated that earnings per share and headline earnings per share are expected to be approximately ZAR 22.00 cents per share. This represents an increase of 21% in earnings per share, and an increase of 12% in headline earnings per share compared with the previous year. The results are expected to be released by 15-Sep-2010.

Middle East shares stayed relatively stable with Air Arabia (-0.5%) down slightly while Kuwait National Airways, Royal Jordanian and Jazeera remained steady.

With the summer lull upon us, we're twiddling our thumbs a bit while the congested plants smooth out and we can get some records out in a few weeks. Meanwhile back at the ranch there's been a deluge of good records to snap up that have been tiding us over. Managed to step foot in my local shop Dorma 21 the other day to find a copy of the new Genius of Time 12", 'Juno Jam' on Running Back - and just looking at the package gave me an immediate semi, lovely artwork here. It's no secret we're big fans of the Swedish duos music though, we've snapped up most of the stuff they've done from the past couple of years - from their cheeky edit of 'Love Thang' on Verktyg to the couple of monsters on Aniara ('Same Old Place' is a bomb), to their deep, piano-madness house bomb 'Drifting Back' on Royal Oak, these guys have a knack for diversity in sound from release to release, AND always hit the spot in a big way - a feat many producers sadly lack.
Title track 'Juno Jam' made a debut last year on a killer DJ Kicks mix cd by the talented John Talabot, now the track makes its wax debut for us lucky collectors. 'Juno Jam' cleverly combines punchy, staccato morse-code sounding synths with pulsating drums to deliver a real weapon of a tune. Top peaktime fodder. Click below to have a listen and read on, dear readers.
On the B side, both 'Tom Jam' and 'Djungel Jam' will likely please fans from a broad musical spectrum, as they're a bit hard to pin down genre-wise, which is refreshing to say the least. Both are deep, raw tracks with rhythms rooted in house et techno with a definite nod to tribal madness, with their shuffly drums and woodblock rata-tat-tatting. Both tunes aim to please and do so in a big way, HOWEVER both are definitely a bit too fast for our liking. These need to be played pitched down to -4/-6 or even -8(!), as the original tempos are simply way too fast for our tired ol' ears - Tom Jam for example is 125bpm). But at the lower ranges, they're dope-on-a-rope.
Pick up a copy from the good folks at Clone here, a fine 12" to add to any proper collection.

The Auditor General just released a recent report regarding Child and Youth Mental Health. The report identifies a number of issues including inactivity on the previous plans.
We know that mental health is an issue. We are well aware that 1 in 5 people will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime and most mental health problems start in childhood and adolescence. Consequently, in June 2011 the government of Ontario launched its Comprehensive Mental Health And Addictions Strategy focusing on children and youth and spending about $190 million. In 2012 the Moving on Mental Health strategy was launched to bring consistent services to children youth and families across Ontario. Despite the funding and new initiatives the problem has continued to rise. The Auditor's report stated that visits by children and youth and in-patient hospitalizations have increased more than 50% since 2008 – 2009 fiscal year.
Among the various problems identified was the chronic issue of transition to other services including adult mental health services. The response from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services and Children's Mental Health is that they will agree to follow their own best advice from the previous report. Funding and workload have been provided as reasons for not following the report recommendations, and they are legitimate concerns to a point. However, some of the blame must fall on our inability to focus on the very critical recommendations from the report.
So…. Just to spread the blame around, we at CMHA Niagara had a role in following that advice and we have failed. Consequently, I have hope that this report will help to initiate some new energy not only from the ministry but also from various community agencies, including us. One of the ministry initiatives will be a clear focus on transitional pathways to youth in adult services. Within the scope of that initiative CMHA Niagara will do its part to engage with Pathstone Mental Health in bringing down any obstacles transferring youth to our adult services. We have begun the process through joint management meetings and soon-to-be followed by joint staff meetings.
With apologies to Lewis Carrol, and just a trace of cynicism, I quote Alice in Wonderland: "She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes;"
This is the advice we are giving ourselves, and let's hope we follow it.
— George Kurzawa

Kesha Breaks Down As Judge Refuses To Let Her Nullify Recording Contract With Dr. Luke
Poor Kesha! Her career was dealt a devastating blow Feb. 19 when a judge in New York ruled that she must complete her six album contract with Sony, something she's been fighting ever since she claimed that the company's hit maker Dr. Luke sexually assaulted her.
Tik Tok on Kesha's recording career! She hit a major career roadblock when she lost her bid to get out of her recording contract with Sony, which could likely put a major kibosh on any new hits for the singer. Kesha — full name Kesha Rose Sebert — broke down in tears inside the courtroom when the judge delivered the heartbreaking news to her, and HollywoodLife.com has the EXCLUSIVE details on how she's now taking it.
"Kesha is absolutely devastated and shell-shocked about today. This whole scenario has been a nightmare and the fun-loving Kesha is nowhere to be seen. Her friends are always calling her and texting her and inviting her out to comfort her before today and they have all been doubling up their efforts since the judgement as they don't want her to fall into a depression funk," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. CLICK HERE TO SEE PICS OF KESHA IN TEARS.
"Her friends know that she has a long road ahead of her and are determined to show their love and support along the way so things don't turn worse for her. They don't want to see her spirit totally shattered," our insider adds.
The 28-year-old hasn't released any new music since she sued her super producer Dr. Luke — real name Luke Gottwald — in 2014, claiming he drugged and raped her when she was 18. He was responsible for some of her biggest hits including "Tik Tok," "Your Love Is My Drug" and "Die Young," but once she made the allegations about him, their partnership was over and Kesha wanted out of the six-album deal that she had committed to. Pick up Kesha's "Die Young" by clicking here.
Kesha then sued to get out of her contract with Sony Music because she didn't want to come in contact with Dr. Luke, and even though the company said they'd pair her with other producers, her attorney Mark Geragos argued that the promise was "illusory" because even if she did make new music, Sony wouldn't promote it because Dr. Luke is the one who makes bank for the company. The judge didn't find any evidence to back up those claims and ruled Kesha must finish off her deal with Sony, something she's loathe to do.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Kesha's career is pretty much over with this new judgement?

java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit is an Enumeration class introduced in java8. This is replaced with integer values representing Days, weeks.. etc. It implements TemporalUnit interface. It is used to measure the time in Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Microseconds, Nanoseconds It contains the following constants Nanos Micros Millis Seconds Minutes Hours HalfDays Days Weeks Months Years Decades Centuries Millennia Eras Forever
This can be used in Date and Time API for calculating below things specific time before Specific time after A number of days, years, months, hours, minutes, seconds between two dates and return range in Units.
We will see various use cases of java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit class
This is an example of available ChronoUnit and their measure unit in seconds
for (ChronoUnit unit : ChronoUnit.values()) {
Duration duration=unit.getDuration();
System.out.println(unit+" is of seconds:"+duration.getSeconds());
Output is
Nanos is of seconds:0
Micros is of seconds:0
Millis is of seconds:0
Seconds is of seconds:1
Minutes is of seconds:60
Hours is of seconds:3600
HalfDays is of seconds:43200
Days is of seconds:86400
Weeks is of seconds:604800
Months is of seconds:2629746
Years is of seconds:31556952
Decades is of seconds:315569520
Centuries is of seconds:3155695200
Millennia is of seconds:31556952000
Eras is of seconds:31556952000000000
Forever is of seconds:9223372036854775807
This is an example adding and subtracting measure units to LocaldateTime
LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();
// date time 5 days ago
LocalDateTime localDateTime1 = now.minus(5, ChronoUnit.DAYS);
// date time 5 years ago
LocalDateTime localDateTime2 = now.minus(5, ChronoUnit.YEARS);
// date time 10 days after
LocalDateTime localDateTime3 = now.plus(5, ChronoUnit.DAYS);
// date time 4 months after
LocalDateTime localDateTime4 = now.plus(4, ChronoUnit.MONTHS);
The output of the above code execution is
This is an example for finding years between two Localdates.
using ChronoUnit.YEARS.between() method returns the number of years in between dates.
LocalDate dob = LocalDate.of(1980, Month.AUGUST, 24);
LocalDate dateNow = LocalDate.now();
long numerOfYears = ChronoUnit.YEARS.between(dob, dateNow);
How to calculate the number of days between two dates? This is an example of finding days between two Localdates. ChronoUnit.DAYS.between() method returns the number of days in between dates.
LocalDate dob = LocalDate.of(1980, Month.AUGUST, 24);
LocalDate dateNow = LocalDate.now();
long numberOfDays = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(dob, dateNow);
This is an example of finding micro time details between two dates. ChronoUnit.between() method with micro details gives all micro time information
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.of(2017, 1, 1, 0, 0);
LocalDateTime dateTime1 = LocalDateTime.now();
System.out.println("Differnce in Nano seconds" + ChronoUnit.NANOS.between(dateTime, dateTime1));
System.out.println("Differnce in Milli seconds" + ChronoUnit.MILLIS.between(dateTime, dateTime1));
System.out.println("Differnce in seconds" + ChronoUnit.SECONDS.between(dateTime, dateTime1));
System.out.println("Differnce in minutes" + ChronoUnit.MINUTES.between(dateTime, dateTime1));
System.out.println("Differnce in hours" + ChronoUnit.HOURS.between(dateTime, dateTime1));
Differnce in Nano seconds52184462355462300
Differnce in Milli seconds52184462355
Differnce in seconds52184462
Differnce in minutes869741
Differnce in hours14495
The same example can be written using java.time.Duration java.time.Duration example to get hours/mins/secs/milli/nano between two dates.
java.time.Duration.between() method is used to get micro time details
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.of(2017, 1, 1, 0, 0);
LocalDateTime dateTime1 = LocalDateTime.now();
System.out.println("Differnce in Nano seconds" + java.time.Duration.between(dateTime, dateTime1).getNano());
System.out.println("Differnce in Milli seconds" + java.time.Duration.between(dateTime, dateTime1).toMillis());
System.out.println("Differnce in seconds" + java.time.Duration.between(dateTime, dateTime1).getSeconds());
System.out.println("Differnce in minutes" + java.time.Duration.between(dateTime, dateTime1).toMinutes());
System.out.println("Differnce in hours" + java.time.Duration.between(dateTime, dateTime1).toHours());
Differnce in Nano seconds156614800
Differnce in Milli seconds52183108156
