This movie is a bollywood version of the " Jason Bourne" style of films with a Romeo Juliet plot. Overall, I found it more enjoyable than the " Bourne" movies. Dating back to 1932 referring to the. The naming scheme for " Bollywood" was inspired by " Tollywood", the name that was used to refer to the cinema of West Bengal. Ek Tha Tiger is a romantic thriller which tells the story of a Trinity College scientist suspected of selling missile technology secrets to Pakistan. Most notably the two oldest surviving American film studios, marking the first time that two major film studios celebrate 100 years, Universal , Paramount both celebrated their centennial anniversaries the Dolby Atmos sound format was launched for the premiere of Brave. The name " Bollywood" is a portmanteau derived from Bombay ( the former name for Mumbai) Hollywood ( in California) the center of the American film industry.


A subject which I've touched upon in my earlier posts, is the fact that the choice of fighter for HX also largely dictates which weapons the Finnish Air Force will use. Naturally, any weapon can be certified on any fighter, as long as they are within weight and size restrictions, but the process is neither simple nor cheap. As such, the large operators usually call the shots, their choices usually being domestic weapons suitable for the missions they prioritise. There are also a number of special cases, such as e.g. Saab and Boeing producing both aircrafts and some of their weaponry.
So, what would Finland then get with each of the different HX-candidates? Below is a simple table I've collected, with weapons integrated on each aircraft. The weapons are divided by type, and include both weapons currently available as well as planned weapons. For the future weapons I've only included weapons that the manufacturer or operator states will be integrated (edit: note that some of these planned integrations, especially in the case of the F-35, are still unfunded). The exception is for Gripen, where the Brazilian Air Force has not yet disclosed which weapons they've chosen for the aircraft. In this case, the weapons listed are based on those displayed on the mock-up, when it toured in Brazil this spring.
Some weapons are likely to appear on certain aircraft sometime in the future, such as the Meteor being integrated on the F-35, but as long as these aren't officially confirmed, I've left them out. As said, if Ilmavoimat really wants something, it can most probably be added for an extra cost, but this table is what we would get "for free" with each aircraft.
Incendiary bombs are largely similar to napalm, but aren't called that as their chemical composition is different. Cluster bombs are available in a number of different variants, where the Mk-20 (247 submunitions) is meant for anti-tank work, and the CBU-59 (717 submunitions) and CBU-101/-105 are used against 'soft' targets (unarmoured vehicles, troops). Many of the modern laser- and GPS-guided bombs feature wings, which means that they can be dropped from some distance, and then glide towards the target. Cruise-missiles differ from these, in that they have some kind of engine that lets them fly further than the unpowered glide bombs. Some cruise missiles can also be used as anti-shipping missiles, and the other way around. As sending a large cruise missile dimensioned to blow up a reinforced bunker to take out a single tank is a waste of money and explosives, some planes carry smaller missiles that can be used against vehicles. Anti-radiation missiles are specialised weapons made to home in on enemy radars, to knock out the enemy's groundbased air defences.
The Eurofighter reflects its international pedigree in that some nations, especially Great Britain, want their own weapons on it, and as such it has two options in a number of slots. The Rafale is an example of the opposite, featuring almost exclusively French weapons. Due to their small production runs, these are sometime very costly, with e.g. the AASM (the French equivalent to a JDAM) rumoured to cost up to twelve times as much as its US counterpart.
Gripen features an interesting mix of Brazilian and European weapons. Of note is that if Finland would buy the Gripen, we would be one of the larger operators, giving better leverage if we wanted to integrate new weaponry onto it (this is not to say that they would come for free, only that our leverage would be better). The main drawback of the Gripen is the (current) lack of a dedicated anti-vehicle missile, with earlier versions having featured the AGM-65 Maverick.
Edit 24-07-2015: After having received input from Twitter-handles Gripen News and Obby Noxus, I've updated the table and texts accordingly. Sorry for the incorrect data given earlier, it was completly due to my own fault, and thank you to Gripen News and Obby Noxus for their help!
With regards to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, it seems like the US Navy decided to simply certify the aircraft for more or less every weapon in their arsenal. A number of these, marked with *, are already retired, and others are on their way out (such as the AIM-7 Sparrow). Of interest is that it is the sole platform with a mining capability. The ability to have two aircraft take off and after a few minutes close a strategic sea lane by dropping four heavy sea mines would be of marked value for Finnish defence planning, especially with the reduction in hulls with a mining capability that the navy is facing. In fact, it is interesting that the Finnish Air Force has not bought Quick Strike mines for the current Hornet-fleet, as they are also certified to carry it.
The F-35 is something in between, with a number of different options, although not quite as many as the Super Hornet. Its anti-shipping missile is a bit special, the Norwegian Joint Strike Missile featuring an infrared seeker instead of radar as all the others anti-shipping missiles in the tables. The IR-seeker is harder to distract than radar seekers, but feature a shorter range a poorer performance in adverse weather (rain, snow, and fog).
Does any single aircraft then have a marked advantage? I would say no. The Rafale is at a disadvantage, due to its reliance on uniquely French weapons, with their higher cost and poorer availability. The Super Hornet brings some interesting options to the table, but I find it hard to believe that Finland would buy either rocket pods or incendiary bombs, so the only real difference is the sea mines. The overall differences are small, and if mining capability suddenly is a must-have, it could probably quite easily be integrated on any of the other platforms. In fact, I would imagine that the US Navy is already thinking about getting it for the F-35C.
As is the case with the aircrafts themselves, their weapons suites all have their own strengths and weaknesses. In the end, these are but one of the many factors that will have to be compared and judged, before it can be decided which of the potential HX-fighters is the best choice.
As far as I can tell you seem to have excluded some weapons for the Gripen that are in use today or integrated but not purchased by the SwAF. Examples are the Taurus cruise missile (integrated), AMRAAM (in use), AIM-9 (in use) and Paveway-II (GBU-59 in use).
Yes, those are in use on current 39A/B/C/D fighters, but I am unsure whether they will 'carry over' to the 39E/F. Same goes for AGM-65 Maverick (Rb 75 in Swedish service).

Holy Week presents a perfect opportunity for catechists to change what might be the usual format for the session and create a retreat-like atmosphere to explore themes from this climax of the liturgical year. I do that in my seventh-grade classroom by focusing on several prayer experiences and activities aimed at helping the young people grasp the story of Jesus' Passion and Death. I've written before about Preparing for Holy Week in Junior High, but today I focus on three strategies that could be used in any grade.
The children need to know what the story is that we remember in a special way during the days of Holy Week. By the time we reach our session about Holy Week, we've already explored the Last Supper in a previous session and have certainly talked about Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection in basic terms at many points throughout the year. We will explore the full Gospel from Palm Sunday, so the young people can encounter the story in the context they'll hear at Mass just a few days later. To help students process the story, we sit in a circle without the distraction of tables or our usual class materials and use some active listening techniques that invite young people to stop the narrative at various points. We follow the reading with a prayerful reflection sheet. The effect is experiencing the Passion narrative without explaining too much.
Use art to tell the stories of Holy Week.
Finding God Art Prints are a great place to start here. For instance, the seventh-grade art includes a mosaic of Jesus washing Peter's feet, Da Vinci's The Last Supper, and Michelangelo's Pietà. I turn to each of these at the appropriate points in this session to help tell the stories without too many words. We may use the art to inspire a short prayer.
Incorporate prayer as a major teaching tool.
As Joe Paprocki points out in his series How to Be an Evangelizing Catechist, we can't avoid the Cross. A Holy Week session that explores prayerfully what the Cross means is a service for the young people that can invite them to continue their prayer in the Holy Week liturgies and beyond.
How do you use story, art, and prayer in teaching about Holy Week?

Q: What will happen if I try to access data over dblink and the database is down? Right now, I'm trying to fetch data from production to support via a dblink. But how do I find out whether the production database is down or not? What will be the result when I run the query: Select sysdate from dual@dblink; when the production database is down but the support db is up and running?

A: It depends on the problem the dblink is facing. Most of the time you will get "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified". And the best way to debug is get sysdate from the source if it returns you a date than the system is perfectly fine else there is good possibility that source DB is down.

The name Jedidiah is mentioned only once in the Bible, and that is curious because it is the name which the prophet Nathan gave to Solomon (2 Samuel 12:25).
Solomon's father, king David, had stolen Uriah's wife Bathsheba, got her pregnant, and subsequently had Uriah killed. The male child that Bathsheba bore died after seven days, as foretold by Nathan. The next child of David and Bathsheba was named Solomon.
The second element of the name Jedidiah is יה, which is the commonly accepted abbreviated form of יהוה, which is YHWH, the Name of the Lord.
Since the Hebrew word for hand is יד (yad), the name Jedidiah resembles a meaning of Hand (in) Hand (with) The Lord. The author of Deuteronomy makes a playful reference both to the name Jedidiah and the similarity between the verb to love and hand-hand (or else, Nathan seems to refer to Deuteronomy). In Deuteronomy 33:12 Jacob blesses his youngest son Benjamin with the words, "May the beloved of YHWH dwell in security by Him who shields him all day; he dwells between His shoulders".
For the meaning of the name Jedidiah, NOBSE Study Bible Name List reads Beloved Of Yahweh. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names reads Beloved Of The Lord.

L'Università di Cesena fu un antico studium fondato nel XVI secolo e chiuso definitivamente con l'invasione napoleonica d'Italia.

Storia
La nascita dell'Università a Cesena fu probabilmente collegata all'istituzione del Collegio Giuridico cesenate concessa da Giulio II nel 1504. Fu uno tra i primi a sorgere e ad affermarsi in Romagna. Nel 1534 vennero approvati gli statuti, i privilegi e i decreti del sunnominato Collegio; nel 1561 Papa Pio IV eresse un secondo Collegio: quello dei Medici e dei Filosofi. I Collegi rilasciavano patenti (oggi chiamate lauree) che abilitavano all'esercizio della professione. Negli anni successivi questi primi Collegi si organizzarono e si strutturarono dando vita all'Università, che trovò sede in viale Mazzoni al n. 42. L'Università cesenate fu riconosciuta come ente giuridico da papa Gregorio XIII il 18 aprile 1576.

Fino al XVI secolo rilasciò le lauree in legge e in medicina. Nel 1645 fu istituita la cattedra di teologia, riconosciuta dalla Santa Sede nel 1675. In quell'anno Papa Clemente X emanò un Motu proprio col quale confermò i privilegi Universitatis Caesenae eiusque Collegiorum et Collegium Juristarum amplioribus facultatibus decoratur. Si trattò di un atto confermativo dei privilegi dello Studio cesenate.

Nel 1785 Pio VI abolì il vincolo di territorialità, in base al quale i laureati nell'ateneo cesenate potevano insegnare solo a Cesena e dintorni. Con la bolla del 2 settembre 1785 il pontefice equiparò l'università di Cesena a tutte gli altri atenei dello Stato della Chiesa, conferendo ai docenti la facoltà di insegnare in tutte le sedi dello Stato. L'università contava allora nove cattedre.
Nel 1796 l'esercito francese invase lo Stato della Chiesa e con il Trattato di Tolentino si impossessò di Cesena e delle Legazioni pontificie.
Il 17 novembre 1800 un'ordinanza del Direttorio della Repubblica Cisalpina revocò all'Università di Cesena il diritto di rilasciare lauree. L'attività didattica cessò, non avendo più ragione di esistere.
Con la Restaurazione la città di Cesena chiese più volte alla Santa Sede il ripristino dell'università cittadina. Nel 1818 il Gonfaloniere inviò una supplica all'allora pontefice Pio VII. Ma la supplica non ottenne esito felce. L'ultima supplica fu inviata il 30 giugno 1824.

Ci si è molto interrogati sulla soppressione d'autorità dello studium cesenate. Napoleone, generalmente, non si occupò di sopprimere istituzioni laiche durante la dominazione dell'Italia. La soppressione forse si spiega col fatto che il suo acerrimo rivale, Papa Pio VI, fosse originario proprio di Cesena.

Nel 1989 Cesena è tornata ad essere città universitaria grazie all'istituzione del corso di laurea in Scienze dell'Informazione dell'Università di Bologna. Nel 2001 si è costituito il Polo Scientifico-Didattico di Cesena. In seguito al nuovo Statuto dell'Università di Bologna, nel 2012 il Polo scientifico-didattico diviene Campus.

Professori dell'Università di Cesena
Bonaventura Gazzola, docente di diritto canonico e di fisica;
Bartolomeo Mastri, nominato rettore nel 1628;
Bonaventura Belluti;
Jacopo Mazzoni.

Yes, somehow the same guys that brought you "Hey Ya!" and shaking things like Polaroid pictures made it to Rolling Stone's list of Greatest Albums. This one reminds me a lot of Life After Death, which appears a bit further up the list at #476, in fact it almost sounds like a tribute to that album at times. Not bad overall.
Recorded live at Chicago's Cook County Jail in 1971, this one is a scant 8 tracks and B.B. blisters through it. Would be five stars if it were longer and showcased his playing a bit more. It is however loaded with blues intensity and plenty of back and forth with the crowd. He has another album at #141 and this one probably deserves to be rated higher as well. There is no way you can dislike this.
Despite having nearly unanimous 5-star reviews on Amazon I found this to be a fairly unremarkable and dated-sounding album. I'm not all that familiar with The Stone Roses so perhaps a few more listenings would let it grow on me but honestly I doubt I would even put this in my top 500.
A couple of great tracks (the singles Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground and Fell In Love With A Girl) mixed with a bunch of stuff that's all over the place - slow ballad to piano rock to whatever Aluminum is supposed to be. I mean, I guess that's part of Jack White's charm but for the most part I don't get it.

Q: How to store persistent User Connection Strings with .NET WPF Click-Once We're developing a Click-Once WPF Windows Application that retrieves all its data from a database. I implemented a Form where a User could enter the corresponding data and using a SqlConnectionStringBuilder we build the Connection String and that works just fine.
We then add the Connection String to the ConfigurationManager using
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

If we use some other ConfigurationUserLevel, the application crashes (I don't know why yet, but I believe the Entity Framework Model tries to load the connection string and doesn't find it, because the file is not stored in the correct User Level?). Now, we store the connection string in a separate file and load it in App.config so we don't have to check it into Version Control:
<connectionStrings configSource="connections.config"/>

We don't deploy this file because it contains our own development connection strings. Rather, we create an empty file for deployment where the user-entered connection string will be stored. This works completely fine.
Our problem is that with a click-once update, the file will be "lost". What is the best way to store persistent per-user connection strings encrypted in a configuration file? Or should we completely switch to Registry? Or create our own encrypted File somewhere outside the %APPDATA%/Local/Apps/2.0/...../ folders and load it manually when initializing the Entity Framework Context?

A: You can go to MSDN site it might help you
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997001.aspx
with the help of below code, you need to modify this code for your requirement, hope this will help.
To create a custom ClickOnce application installer
In your ClickOnce application, add references to System.Deployment and System.Windows.Forms.
Add a new class to your application and specify any name. This walkthrough uses the name MyInstaller.
Add the following Imports or using statements to the top of your new class.
using System.Deployment.Application;
using System.Windows.Forms;

Add the following methods to your class.
These methods call InPlaceHostingManager methods to download the deployment manifest, assert appropriate permissions, ask the user for permission to install, and then download and install the application into the ClickOnce cache. A custom installer can specify that a ClickOnce application is pre-trusted, or can defer the trust decision to the AssertApplicationRequirements method call. This code pre-trusts the application
Note:- Permissions assigned by pre-trusting cannot exceed the permissions of the custom installer code.

2,000-year-old statue of priest's head unearthed in Turkey's west
A statue of a priest's head, which is believed to be 2,000 years old, has come to light in the ongoing excavation and restoration works in the ancient city of Laodicea, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List.
Located in the western province of Denizli, Laodicea on the Lycus was an ancient metropolis and an unknown archaeological site before 2003. It was only after the excavation works that were initiated by the Denizli Museum that the city came to light.
A team of Turkish archaeologists headed by Pamukkale University's Professor Celal Şimşek has been working in Laodicea continuously.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Şimşek said that they have unearthed an exciting artifact in the 15,000-seat western theater of the 7,500-year-old city.
Noting that they are trying to restore the theater by preserving it precisely, Şimşek said that they found a priest statue, which was believed to be around 2,000 years old, during the excavation works.
"There was an eight-meter embankment next to the fortification wall extending west from the stage building of the theater and was built at the beginning of the fifth century. We encountered a stunning statue of a priest during the removal of the filling, which was the waste of buildings destroyed by earthquakes," Şimşek noted.
"It is among the most beautiful finds of the year 2020 in terms of its age, profession, and especially being a very vibrant portrait, which we can date to the late Hellenistic early empire period," he added.
Ancient sources say that the city was founded in honor of Laodice, the wife of Seleucid King Antiochus II Theos, in the third century B.C. However, excavations revealed that the history of Laodicea dates back to 5,500 B.C.
The city had its golden period between the first and third centuries A.D and according to the calculations, the city's population was around 80,000 during that period.
Considering that the ancient cities of Hierapolis and Tripolis had populations of around 40,000, Laodicea can be called a metropolis.

Both of us love animals so much.
Hi , I'm Steve and my wife is Alexandra. I have lived in the U.S ,Canada, Panama and Ecuador.
My wife has lived in Ecuador, Holland and the US. We love to travel and like adventures. We have been business owners and managers in different positions throughout our lives. I have two grown sons and 5 grandchildren. We are a mature quiet couple but we do like to socialize. Throughout our lives we have had pets including dogs, cats, iguana, hamster,snakes and birds.
We appreciate the opportunity to house sit as it affords us a way to travel and see new places as well as loving many pets. We love all animals. We live in the countryside of Western Washington State and love the fact that we get to see new animals almost daily.
Its also a kind service that can help people when THEY need to travel by giving them a sense of security that first of all their home is safe and being taken care of. Secondly that their precious friends(the furry kind) are being taken care of and most of all loved.
Throughout our lives we have had many different kinds of pets. Of course we loved and appreciated each one of them. This involved feeding, caring for them,loving them,playing with them and knowing when a veterinarian visit was needed. As far as caring for a home or apartment we (not bragging) are experts. My wife was taught by the Dutch how to clean. This is what she does part time here in Washington for people who have multi million dollar homes. She leaves homes spotless, because other cleaners miss so much in N.America. We have managed and cleaned estates in Arizona as well. In short you won't have to worry about your home or precious pets!
I have known Steve since 2001 and found him to be reliable, honest, hard working and trustworthy. I later met Alex and discovered she shared the same traits in addition to being ultra-clean. Steve and Alex stayed at our house for one week while we were away and the place was immaculate when we returned. Steve and Alex are friendly, easy to communicate with, and respectful of other's things and space.
I would definitely employ Steve and Alex again and I would recommend them without reservation as house-sitters!

There will also be supper from Gardd Sadwrn to stave off the hunger. A choice of organic hotdogs, veggie hotdogs (with all the trimmings you can imagine), Gardd Sadwrn grown roast pumpkin and bean chilli which you can dress with sour cream or salsa or roasted corn, tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa and cheese. There will be bigger meals for bigger appetites and snacks for the grazers.
Pudding yet to be revealed…..
What are the films I hear you cry
(oh no you didn't)
(oh yes you did)….
From 4-6pm our children's screening is The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Tim Burton blends Christmas and Halloween together in his 1993 stop-motion film in a way that's both spooky and heartwarming all at the same time.
The film tells the story of Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween Town, who stumbles through a portal to Christmas Town and decides to celebrate the holiday, with some dastardly and comical consequences.
Running time 73 minutes, Certificate PG.
Join us for a festive FREE screening at the Sexton Arms – a massive thank you to Llansadwrn Reading Room for supporting this screening.
From 7pm-9pm our evening screening will be Miracle on 34th Street!
In this Christmas classic, an old man going by the name of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day parade.
Kringle proves to be such a hit that he is soon appearing regularly at the chain's main store in midtown Manhattan. When Kringle surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus, it leads to a court case to determine his mental health and, more importantly, his authenticity.
Running time 96 minutes, Certificate U.

Another full house at Sinema Sadwrn's showing of the Isle of Dogs
Another Sinema Sadwrn success
A special evening was had by everyone who attended the Sinema Sadwrn experience. The audience was a wide age range and yet again Sinema Sadwrn's Committee managed to delight everyone.
This time we had a fully immersive experience with dogs also in attendance – how many cinemas can make that claim?
Wes Anderson's stunning Isle of Dogs was a visual treat, enjoyed by everyone, visually rich, comedic and emotional we were all gripped.
The very funny short stop animation, Boris Noris, had us all giggling.
Thanks again to everyone involved, including those who created the dog poo biscuits and brought along the dog treats.
Very importantly Sinema Sadwrn is hoping to raise money to match fund a grant they have achieved which will enable them to buy their own equipment. This will mean the village will have projector and screen to enable us to show films within the village and also potentially at other venues.
If you're interested in supporting this cause then please get in touch with them through the Sinema Sadwrn Facebook page.
National Success for Sinema Sadwrn – Best New Film Society 2018
Sinema Sadwrn, a new community cinema that holds monthly screenings at Llansadwrn Reading Room, are feeling very proud to have been named 'Best New Film Society 2018' at the Cinema for All Film Society of the Year awards, held in September.
They were shortlisted by a panel of judges and saw off the competition from Liverpool, Manchester, London, Slough and the Midlands. The judges said of their entry,
"From their creation less than a year ago, this group has hit the ground running – providing a much needed and much-loved addition to their rural community. With excellent marketing, great audience numbers and a beautifully balanced programme, this group has set the groundwork for longevity. They quite clearly have a vision, a strategy of how to achieve it, and a way of successfully evaluating it – which I think is top for a new society".
Volunteers Drew Moxham and Lisa Denison travelled to Sheffield to collect the award from the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Magid Magid at the evening ceremony. They also took part in a weekend of workshop events and screenings with fellow community cinema enthusiasts from across the UK.

"It was a bit of a shock to get the award, and we were overwhelmed by all the kind words, advice and support we got afterwards from all the other groups at the event. We hope we did or bit for flying the Welsh flag and promoting rural cinema" commented Lisa.
The award is great recognition for the hard work of Sinema Sadwrn's volunteers. Since their first screening in March this year, the team have put on a varied programme of comedies, dramas and film classics. They are also committed to promoting Welsh film through a programme of short films and features on a regular basis.
In July, they ventured out of the Reading Room for a free screening of 'The Greatest Showman', which was generously funded by local sponsors, as part of the Llansadwrn Big Party on the community field. In August they held a family-friendly showing of 'Paddington 2' at the Sexton Arms, with delicious food provided by Gardd Sadwrn.
Sinema Sadwrn will return to the Reading Room in October for a screening of three documentaries about rural Wales, supported by Film Hub Wales.
The main feature will be Gideon Koppel's critically acclaimed 'Sleep Furiously', a lyrical film about the ebb and flow of life in Trefeurig. The showing will also include two short films: 'A Good Bitch', by Rhys Edwards, about a north-Wales farming family and their working dogs; and 'Dial-A-Ride', by Superfolk Films, which is an uplifting portrait of a community bus service in the Brecon Beacons.There'll be refreshments, an introduction and a chance to chat after the films.
For more information about Sinema Sadwrn's upcoming screenings, search for the Sinema Sadwrn page on Facebook. All are welcome.

Q: Adding to LinkedList changes initial value This segment of code is supposed to iterate over a LinkedList containing Lists containing a sequence of numbers up to 9. The point is to change one number to its negative counterpart, then adding the list changed by one number back to the LinkedList containing all permutations. For example: for the set 1 2 3, the permutations go to 8, beginning with [1 2 3], after the first iteration, it should contain a list of [[1 2 3] ,[-1 2 3]], the second iteration should contain a linked list of [[1 2 3], [- 1 2 3], [1 -2 3], [-1 -2 -3]], and so on.
The end length of the Linked list should be 2^n, which is correct for the final output, however, the actual data is completely wrong.
Problem: The output shows only the first number of the list as a negative number, so for the example above, only (-1 2 3) printed 8 times. This confuses me, as the first List<Integer> in the Linked List is (1 2 3). How does this program change the initial object in my list, and why does it keep adding a list with only the first integer changed? Thanks,
//Will make neg for one place in each list in linked list, adding changed
//list back to linkedlist
public void makeNeg(Integer place){
    Integer target = 0;
    List<Integer> hold = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    //list is a class variable
    Iterator<List<Integer>> it = list.iterator();
    while(it.hasNext()){
        hold = it.next();
        target = hold.get(place);
        target *= -1;
        hold.set(place, target);
        list.addLast(hold);
    }
}

//Should run program
public void run(Integer place){
    if(!(number > place)){
        System.out.print("---Completed Successfully ---\n");
    }else{
        makeNeg(place);
        run(place+1);
    }
}

Output for Integer of 3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3
-1 +2 +3

A: I found a way to answer this question by using some code from this link (http://javatechniques.com/blog/faster-deep-copies-of-java-objects/). I made a object that implements serializable, and used this bit of code found at the url I linked.
public static numbers copy(numbers orig) {
    numbers obj = null;
    try {
        // Write the object out to a byte array
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
        out.writeObject(orig);
        out.flush();
        out.close();

        // Make an input stream from the byte array and read
        // a copy of the object back in.
        ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(
            new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray()));
        obj = (numbers)in.readObject();
    }
    catch(IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
        cnfe.printStackTrace();
    }
    return obj;
}

Right! After all those positive kata I thought you would enjoy an episode on the dark side. The idea of an anti kata is to play the Devil's advocate – and here'a a great one. I have got Dominic Scott Malden's permission to print a hilarious piece he wrote for Sharp Stick in 1998 on the subject of how to screw up groups to get the results you want. Dominic now plies his trade as an independent researcher at Circus Street Enterprises. Here's his linked in connection.
As a planning and research guru the question I am most often asked by young aspiring planners is 'How can I get a really bad ad through research?' Well here are some top tips.
First of all qual or quant? Instinctively your answer may be qual but it's much easier to get a turkey through quant. The questions are simple, so the numbers easily look quite good, and the same set of figures is open to wildly different interpretations.
If you do go into qual, always do the groups youself, and subtly encourage the group to praise. Not only will the turkey do surprisingly well but you will genuinely think it is much better than you first thought and might even fly.
If you have to use an outsider, recommend a researcher on a very short time schedule, preferably one who actually takes notes during the groups (a key indicator that they don't listen to their tapes afterwards). And ask for a topline debrief at 9 am the morning after.
Give them loads of boards and tapes. Add a few at the last minute if you can, then the whole groups gets used up in showing the stimulus materials and there are no responses to argue about.
Go and watch at least some of the groups. Hint there is a huge Euro project in the offing if these groups go well, though this may backfire if the researcher guesses your economic power is not that great.
The first words that you say to the researcher after the groups are the most vital. The researcher is in active listening mode and will be unable to resist listening carefully to what you are saying. Start with what a brilliantly insightful, well moderated, generally excellent group it was. Remember that researchers respond to flattery the way a cat responds to cream.
Don't do any of the above. The prime duty of your highly paid Creative Director is quality control. In the face of flagrant dereliction of this duty, you really need turkeys to be killed off quickly; the consequences of running them publicly can poison your career for years. I've known planners who have had to change theire names not just their CVs. And of course clients can never forgive or forget that ad which cost £200K but which none of their friends in the golf club liked.

← It really did happen!
If Jesus hadn't been born, nothing would have happened. The Holy Spirit would not have come and whispered peace into my life as He did then, because the Holy Spirit would not have been moving in the world, especially with pagans liked me. I would not have had the undeniable experience with God that I had that night; I would not have had the assurance that He heard my prayer. It was a supernatural invasion of the Holy Spirit brought on by Jesus. But if Jesus hadn't been born, it wouldn't have happened.
Think about it. If Jesus hadn't been born the Catch would not exist. We wouldn't know you; you wouldn't knows us. There would be no Prayer Warriors praying. No one to give counsel to, and no one to do the counseling. No boots on the ground in 141 countries. There would be no church — no reason to come together — no one to come together over. There would be no fellowship. Friendship, yes, but no fellowship in the Holy Spirit.
None of the songs or books I've written since that dynamic experience on a cold winter walk would exist because they have all been, in one way or another, about Jesus, and inspired by Jesus. I wouldn't have married Marti because we met over Jesus. The people Marti led to the Lord while she was a flight attendant would still be lost in their sins because Jesus would not have died to forgive them.
And you know what? Here's the biggest one of all: No one would care. The meaning behind everything would be gone. There would be nothing driving us on beside self-preservation. No reason to care for anyone else.
If Jesus hadn't been born, I would have called, but there would have been no one there.

"A broken and contrite heart you will not despise." God always hears us, but He cannot/will not respond until we are stripped bare; at the end of our rope…and are honest about it.
Jesus broke your heart that night and you allowed it to happen. And out of it was born all of your ministry and relationships…starting with your relationship with Jesus.
I thank God for your influence in my life, and I thank you for allowing yourself to be a vessel…a broken pot put back together by the Holy Spirit.
I had a few tears rolling down my cheeks while reading about your experience Pastor John only to whip them dry to have a few more after reading my Catch buddy, Carole O testimonial.
Both of those stories moved me to tears and made me so happy & grateful Jesus was indeed born!
By the way Pastor John how did u do on you do on that final exam?
I passed it. No flying colors, but at least I passed. The point was, after that encounter, it didn't matter. I knew that whatever happened, everything was going to be okay because I was okay.
If Jesus hadn't been born, I probably wouldn't be alive today. I reached the lowest point of my life in the mid-90's following a divorce. It probably sounds like a cliché, but I turned to drugs in the misguided hope of easing the pain. A couple years in, I overdosed for the last time. I subsequently prayed for direction and a return to my children. Two days later I made the most important phone call and entered rehab shortly thereafter. Renewing my relationship with my children was the greatest reward, but the ultimate was renewing my relationship with Jesus Christ. Without Him, this opportunity would never have existed.

Reflecting On: I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business
October 24, 2014 by itsalldead Leave a Comment
Ten years ago, I was at the height of my obsession with The Early November. The Room's Too Cold had come out the previous year, and I told anyone willing to listen why I was obsessed with it. My friends enjoyed the album, but constantly reminded me that emo bands never last. I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business arrived quietly with a self-titled album alarmingly quickly, almost exactly a year after TEN's debut album. I loved the album by myself since no one I knew would listen to it, and saw it as a wonderful and patchwork contrast to TEN's sound and themes.
The greatest legacy of Like Nobody's Business is that it was an oddity for years. Ace Enders' side project was originally an indie acoustic pop record infused with a wide array of instruments (violin, cello, keyboard, electric guitar, xylophone) and a slight tone of country influence. It was weird, lovely and the perfect counterbalance to the harshness of The Room's Too Cold by spinning off in the vein of the standout acoustic tracks from that album.
But Enders didn't return to ICMAM for a long time, leaving it as a one off album. TEN's follow up The Mother, The Mechanic, & The Path used a lot of the influences from ICMAM (LONG NAMES BE DAMNED!) for The Mother disc. The most obvious of these influences being the ambient country influences for songs like "Driving South" and "From Here to L.A.", most notably Bill Lugg's sexy slide guitar originally from "The Best Happiness Money Can Buy" on ICMAMLNB.
Beyond that though, I Can Make a Mess weren't heard of again for the most part as Enders took up another solo project under the banner of Ace Enders and a Million Different People, with a select couple of ICMAM songs played at live shows.
I fell in love with The Early November because of the harshness of the lyricism coupled with the underproduction and ragged songwriting that somehow worked between genres of both hard rock and acoustic ballads. I Can Make a Mess was not even just the opposite of that, it was ironically kind of a mess. The entire disc was acoustic focused, and much quieter, but interjected with two 'rock' songs (I still don't know what to label them as) that utterly ruined the flow.
It's not even that they're bad songs, but it destroyed the theme of the album as well as the concept, and cut the record into parts. "Untitled Track 2" is a hellish rock song led by a sizzling electric guitar that cuts the surreal and dreamlike acoustic ballads in two; poppier songs on the first half and softer ballads on the second.
Then there was the background noise; eleven songs worth of what sound like random television and movie scenes running constantly under the music. On paper, this is an annoying idea but in practice, it's intriguing. The sounds provide a minimal bass layer beneath the music that allows itself to be heard during the quietest moments before finally fading out during the aptly titled "End of the Background Noise". It's a distraction that doesn't take away from the music, instead it melds the songs together which is one of the things Enders likes to do (The Room's Too Cold, Dustin' Off the Ol Guitar).
Enders' lyrics have always intrigued me. The Early November tend to run to the center of emotions, cutting through the fat and hitting the heart of the matter. In recent years, I Can Make a Mess has reflected this basis as well, but not nearly as much. ICMAM is the outlet without parameters and ICMAMLNB is probably the best reflector of this.
The first half of the record is almost mystical. "So I Finally Decided to Give Myself a Reason" is the most dreamlike. It's a surreal conversation with coming to terms with past mistakes amidst a chorus of "So tonight as I walk the moon makes faces at the trees / It's so nice to make fun of everything that I lost, and I miss, and I love but never had".
The most iconic song is "The Best Happiness Money Can Buy", a ripe country flavored song complete with a "yeehaw" and slide guitar. It's also the start of ICMAM's recurring theme of money and inspiration as Enders sings, "So follow that tune / Quickly or you'll lose the melody you never heard / When you were young you didn't care / It's the one that stole your father's pride / That mighty mighty dollar sign".
The second half of the album is slightly less romantic and a more straightforward with the themes of coming to terms with yourself. "I Know the Sum and Substance of My Evil" is one of the more telling songs as it pulls everything together in a self-evaluation that is so straightforward that it beckons reminders of TEN. "We all knew this day was coming / Our bitter hears can hear it calling / So proud of what you've done, so proud of who you are / Standing tall next to all the buildings and filling up with all the reasons why you should never trust yourself / The way you fool yourself… I'm fooled".
I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business is a patchwork still in progress, not quite ready to know what it wanted to be. It'd be six years before further ICMAM albums would help put this one in perspective. It's a great release from Enders, but somewhat pieced together and cut in weird sections.
At the time, it almost felt like a secret in the music community since absolutely no one would listen to it with me. It was an oddity of experimentation and honesty that helped launch Ace's other solo project and influence later TEN records while maintaining a spirit all its own. It was the first time I knew that Ace Enders had the skills as a songwriter to not fade away with all of those other 'emo' musicians and made me proud to bother people with how much I adore his music.
Kyle Schultz is the Senior Editor at It's All Dead and has worked as a gaming journalist at Structure Gaming. He lives in Chicago and apparently likes to write about Ace Enders in embarrassing amounts of detail, enough to tag his other two articles in this one. Ugh. The Early November is one of the few bands whose albums have never left his rotation ever since he first heard them in 2002.

Review: Lagwagon – Hang »


Disclaimer : This purpose of this article is not to criticize the author of Flixel, rather to help new developers to get an idea of Flixel, its architecture and what to expect from it. I still believe it is a great library for making certain types of games very quickly and very good for prototyping certain game ideas, if not the best.
If you have been trying to make flash games in your free time, there is no way you haven't heard of Flixel. Canabalt's release also popularized the engine quite a bit. I dabbled with Flixel a few weeks ago for a small weekly prototype marathon we had at work. Me, being the usual awesome self, decided to go with a library that I haven't worked with before for the marathon. So it began.
First of all Flixel's 'features' page is pretty amazing on their website. Multiple cameras for a 2d game, built-in simple physics/collision system, particle engine, game save/load and even a feature to record and replay demos. Wow! I thought.
Soon enough I plugged in Flixel into a new AS3 Flash builder project, and I was able to get the 'hello world' to work in no time. But gradually it started to slow me down. Of course like any library, I know I can't expect everything out of the box. I will have to write code for higher level custom functionality. But the problem was with Flixel's architecture. Having worked with AS3 framework, Java, .NET, and Unity 3d architecture etc. I am definitely used to having clean package hierarchies, naming and class design. I cannot blame the author though, he has stated something relevant to this clearly in their about section in his own words.
To explain the problem with architecture better, let me give an example. Flixel supports paths. You can make your objects move in custom paths. Now there is a FlxPath class which holds an array of points which make up the path. But that's all it does apart from having some methods to add/remove/retrieve points and for debug drawing.
Now FlxObject is your usual basic abstract game object class in any engine. It has everything - position, size, physics properties etc. Then there is a FlxSprite class which extends from it, and like you might have guessed it holds sprites, sprite sheets and also has code to animate with sprite sheets.
Now the FlxObject holds a reference to a FlxPath object with some public properties like pathSpeed, pathAngle etc. along side few more protected properties related to path. This doesn't look clean to me and I have this OCD where I find this annoying too. I wish I could give more precise reasons than saying 'I doesn't feel right', but I have not yet reached that level yet in my programming career. I would say a better way to write it would be to isolate everything related to path in a different class. And that class should control the object from outside the object in a special internal post-update routine (After every FlxObject's update function gets called in the general game loop). Or just follow a component based architecture where PathFollow component could be added along side of other stuff like Physics, Controls etc. Maybe just use something similar to their existing plugin system and implement a PathFollow class just like DebugPathDisplay class.
Another thing that bothered me is the FlxG and FlxU classes. It so happened that there were a few functions which I was looking for in more obvious places, but were present in FlxG and FlxU classes. For e.g. FlxU has a static function called getDistance and it takes 2 FlxPoints. Instead it should be a method of FlxPoint class. The problem is once you have been programming for about 4-5 years you sort of get intuitive about quickly finding function in a framework without using google. It often happens with .NET, Java and AS3 thanks to their very clean design. I hated googling and to search on their 'not well' documented wiki for the simple things I needed to do. May be I was hoping for an even quicker start up than what I got with my first experience with Flixel.
But then again for someone who need to prototype simple games, maybe its handy when everything is available in a single class and doesn't have to init 2 or 3 more classes along with extra boiler plate code.
Now this is exactly the feature / class that would be awesome if it was in Unity3d. Having worked as producer for Unity based game projects, I found that programmers found it impossible to write even simple mobile games on Unity without Object Pooling for almost each and every thing. Their Object.instantiate is a terribly slow call, especially when you instantiate a Prefab directly and there used to be no warnings about it on their documentation (not sure about it now).
Though I did bi*** about the author of Flixel clubbing too many things in the same class, once you learn and get used to the library you will find it very quick for prototyping game ideas. Flixel has everything you need (Physics / Collision, Text support, Sound, Tile support, HUD/UI Buttons etc.) and in considerably less number of classes. But it is both a good and bad thing.
It is only a matter of time until the library goes through a little bit of cleaning up and thus making it even more modular, robust and still simple as it is now. So will I use it again? Definitely yes for prototypes, may be not for full games though. I am yet to check out Flash punk which I heard is a much more mature framework for experienced developers.


Nate Lamusga is Director of Member Engagement for Catholic United Financial.
Nate Lamusga was a classical guitar major. "I wanted to make music for a living. I never expected to be sitting in a director's seat in an insurance company. Nonetheless, here I am – and I love it," he said. He is Director of Member Engagement for Catholic United Financial, a member-owned organization that provides life insurance and retirement products throughout Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
The stories, when I find out the good that has come from something we have offered. Each year 80 schools in our footprint get involved in a raffle. Catholics United covers the cost of tickets and prizes, then the schools get the kids going. The school keeps $5 for every $5 raffle ticket sold. All proceeds go back to the school. One school raised enough to add a preschool onto their slate of programs.
The part that I struggle with is the entitlement piece – people who aren't willing to get engaged, they just want a grant. I want people to do something great. There's so much we can do. Luckily that's a small piece.
What does it take to be good at your job?
That's an "it" factor that's tough to define. You have to enjoy speaking in large groups, working with people, but also sitting behind your desk planning, organizing, strategizing, looking at data. There's a breadth to it.
I could see this evolving over time. I just don't know where. I'm quite happy at Catholic United. My co-workers are fantastic. I have a wife and four kids – three daughters and one on the way. I work to support them. The career makes that life possible. Wherever God takes this for me – I'm just along for the ride.
