Q: Why is my second button for a GUI not working? I'm trying to get my second button to subtract the starting number, but I keep getting errors where ButtonListener1 is located (line 23 and 47) and I am unable to run my code.
I don't understand why it isn't working.
Please tel me if I'm supposed to add something to the button and operation in the private classes or the main class.
package addsubtract;

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class SubtractAdd extends JApplet {

    private int APPLET_WIDTH = 300, APPLET_HEIGHT = 35;
    private int num;
    private JLabel label;
    private JButton add;
    private JButton subtract;

    public void init ()
    {
        num = 50;

        add = new JButton ("Add");
        add.addActionListener (new ButtonListener());
        subtract = new JButton ("Subtract");
        subtract.addActionListener ((ActionListener) new ButtonListener1());

        label = new JLabel("Number: " + Integer.toString (num));

        Container cp = getContentPane();
        cp.setBackground (Color.PINK);
        cp.setLayout (new FlowLayout());
        cp.add(add);
        cp.add(subtract);
        cp.add(label);

        setSize (APPLET_WIDTH, APPLET_HEIGHT);

    }

    private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener
    {
        public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
        {
            num++;
            label.setText("Number: " + Integer.toString(num));

        }

    private class ButtonListener1 implements ActionListener
    {
        public void actionPerfomred (ActionEvent event)
        {
            num--;
            label.setText("Number: " + Integer.toString(num));

        }
    }
    }
}

A: I don't think you need the private classes. Plus, I believe they are causing you scoping issues (can't access num from within them).
Instead, you can make anonymous classes
add = new JButton ("Add");
add.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
        label.setText("Number: " + (++num));
    }
});
subtract = new JButton ("Subtract");
subtract.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
        label.setText("Number: " + (--num));
    }
});

Or have the class implement the interface
public class SubtractAdd extends JApplet implements ActionListener {

    public void init() {

        add = new JButton ("Add");
        add.addActionListener (this);
        subtract = new JButton ("Subtract");
        subtract.addActionListener(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
        Object source = event.getSource();
        if (source == add) {
            label.setText("Number: " + (++num));
        } else if (source == subtract) {
            label.setText("Number: " + (--num));
        }
    });

Reform of school governance – Keir Bloomer
July 4, 2017 Melting Pot
The proposals for reform of school governance announced a week ago by John Swinney are hugely significant and full of admirable intent. His concept of a 'school and teacher-led system' has the capacity to transform the quality of educational decision-making for the better. Giving headteachers much-increased control over staffing, the curriculum and the use of funding is, without question, the best way of improving performance and raising standards.
This kind of decentralisation of control is well supported by research. It is in line with the thinking of the world's most influential educational think tank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and with the direction of travel of many of the developed world's more successful education systems.
Mr. Swinney's announcement suggests that the Scottish Government has begun to engage seriously with the question of how to bring about radical change in a complex system such as school education. Empowering schools can energise teachers, giving them a sense of ownership of the process of change. It can encourage initiative while reducing bureaucracy and pointless aspects of accountability. Perhaps most important, it could change the culture of education by reducing hierarchy and improving relationships.
In short, the potential of the proposed reforms is enormous. However, that does not mean that the potential will necessarily be realised. The history of Scottish education is full of examples of good ideas implemented ineffectively and fatal compromises with vested interests. This year, the government introduced a Pupil Equity Fund intended to devolve significant sums of money to headteachers that they could use to narrow the attainment gap. Then it issued guidance requiring headteachers to have their plans approved by local authorities.
The basic principles underpinning the new proposals are admirable but will they be implemented effectively and courageously? There are already some worrying signs.
For example, we are told that headteachers will 'select and manage the teachers and staff in their schools'. Does that mean they will no longer have to accept teachers that the local authority wishes to transfer – for whatever reason – from another school? If not, in what sense can the headteacher be said to 'select' staff? This is a difficult question. Local authorities are the employers of school staff and the government says they will remain so. Employers have a legal obligation to redeploy surplus staff if they can before resorting to redundancy. How is this dilemma to be resolved?
In the same way, heads are to manage and have full control over much more of schools' budgets. Will they still be bound by the authority's procurement rules? Will they be free to seek the lowest price for fitting additional electric points or will they be forced, as is often currently the case, to pay over the odds for the council's own in-house service?
There are clear signs that the proposals have been drafted with secondary schools in mind. While many secondary headteachers will be looking forward to assuming new powers and responsibilities, confident that their schools have the necessary management capacity, many primary heads may be fearful of being expected to take on huge tasks far beyond the capacities of their small organisations. The ability of grouping schools into local 'clusters' to address this difficulty is largely ignored.
These are just three examples of many. The government's lengthy 'Next Steps' paper raises more questions than it answers. There are many places where the proposals are not fully thought through or where vital detail is simply missing.
The paper purports to be about school governance but actually says remarkably little about it. The Scottish Government proclaims that schools are to be empowered but does not say how. This is empowerment by assertion. To whom will headteachers be accountable? We are not told. What governance structures will be there to support and challenge them? Silence.
There is also one instance of a significant proposal that is simply fatally flawed. The government intends that schools 'will be supported through a revolutionised offer of support and improvement'. Don't be fooled by the word 'offer'. This is the kind of offer you can't refuse. The government will set up Regional Improvement Collaboratives throughout Scotland and every school will be involved.
There is nothing wrong with collaboration. Several local authorities are already using the notion of the school 'cluster' – usually a partnership of a secondary school and several primaries – to encourage school-to-school collaboration. Others have set up authority level collaborations; the Northern Alliance involving seven mainland and island authorities is a good example. The important point is that this alliance is a voluntary association, built from the bottom up on a basis of trust and shared objectives.
The government's collaboratives will be quite different. Local authorities will be grouped together and obliged to share resources according to a central plan. The government will appoint a Regional Director who will be accountable to the Chief Inspector of schools.
At a stroke, the decentralising rhetoric is exposed as a sham. Government control over the system is hugely strengthened. Into the bargain, by giving the Chief Inspector this executive role, the independence of the Inspectorate is destroyed.
There is still time to address the shortcomings of the proposals and ensure that their admirable intentions are properly realised. The government intends to publish a Headteachers' Charter and to introduce legislation on school governance. By the time it does so, the details must be worked out thoroughly. This will involve listening to those with expertise including, of course, serving headteachers.
Finally, the government intends to transfer the legal responsibility for raising attainment and closing the gap that currently lies with local authorities to the schools and, more specifically, to headteachers. This legal responsibility may be more symbolic than real – it is impossible to see how it can be enforced – but, if I were a headteacher, I would want to be assured that I had the powers necessary to meet my obligations. Good intentions, warm rhetoric and half thought-out proposals would not satisfy me.

Braun, Lind out with tight lower backs
By Adam McCalvy
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Brewers were without their top two run producers for the start of Monday's series opener against the Giants, with right fielder Ryan Braun and first baseman Adam Lind each sidelined by lower back tightness.
Braun was scratched from the starting lineup minutes before the first pitch. Lind missed a second straight start, but expressed optimism before batting practice about returning to regular duty Tuesday night.
"This is not something I'm going to miss [significant] time with," Lind said. "I'm going to do full batting practice like if I was starting, and if it goes well, be able to pinch-hit and be able to play [Tuesday]."
Braun will be evaluated before Tuesday's game.
"He did something in batting practice," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "He felt some pain in his back during batting practice and he wasn't able to go."
Braun (18 home runs) and Lind (16) are the only Brewers hitters with double-digit homers. Braun leads the team with 61 RBIs and Lind is second with 58 RBIs -- 16 more than second runner-up Carlos Gomez.

The first thing I did was lay down old-schoool green outdoor carpet, which cost me about $23. I had no interest in a tiny bistro table with uncomfortable chairs that never get used. Instead I went with two, comfy, facing love-seats and other pieces that have multi purposes. Ever square inch of this tiny space is utilized.
Remember the palm print fabric I ordered? I had my love seat cushions upholstered in it, and if I could, I'd drape it around the entire thing. I love it large.
A pair of vintage, equestrian ashtrays can double as cocktail tables.
Rest your feet on a black and white cabana striped ottoman, throw a tray on it to hold food, or it can easily provide an extra seat.
The entire ceiling is canopied in lanterns that hold battery operated faux candles. They are on timers, and all light up starting at dusk.
I water my aloe plants with a vintage, brass pitcher. They have't died yet!
The love-seat cushions and pillows coordinate, but aren't identical. I love symmetry, but not matchey matchey.
Cocktails are always fabulous accessories.
I hope you like it as much as my little family does! Now go on and Pin these pictures so you have inspiration for next summer… And if you need help decorating a space in your home, please contact me at jessie@curedesigngroup.com. I'd love to help you get the party started!
Nailed it! It looks sooo good my dear, and is so much more functional than the bistro table. I imagine you guys are out there all the time – especially at cocktail hour. Cheers!
I love the idea of the upholstered settees instead of those cheesy bistro sets. Obviously so does your precious puppy! So many great ideas. Love the ashtray turned cocktail table and the lantern lighting. Astro turf never looked so good!
I love it Jess! Looks like a real chill spot!
How lovely! We are in the process of decorating our entire house and I can't wait for our deck to be ready to enjoy!
Looks so relaxing and inviting . Terrific work Jessie (Design Dare Devil ) Miller!
So so fab…that palm print, well I love it large too! I have two pillows in my office and I would plaster it everywhere if I could!! Now I just need to come over for a cocktail on your new porch!
OMG!!! Its amazing!! I love, love how it came out!! What a transformation. I want to come over and have a drink with you!! Fabulous!
Looks great! I'm ready for a cocktail.
Love it! When can I come over?
cant wait to see it! LOVE.
Love it. Especially, the lamps. Great work!
Tres chic. Love the cocktail styling. Gawd, I'm dying for a drink. That fish tray is rad.
Thank you for sharing your design, I am soon moving from a home of 47 years to an apartment that has 8″x14″ space. I am going with wicker sofa's also. Maybe a Moroccan theme or decorate with things from India as I already have that theme in my family room at home.
I was thinking of using hanging lanterns to decorate my long front porch and this will help me show my vision to my hubby! I'm tired of overused , messy ferns!
PS I have wallpaper similar to your beloved palm leaves in my entryway!


Appaloosa Management's David Tepper has teamed up with hedge fund Senator to press Allergan into making further changes at the Botox-maker.
Those changes include splitting up the office of the chairman and CEO.
Business Insider had previously reported that investors had raised concerns about Allergan's direction after seeing the drugmaker's shares plummet.
Billionaire investor David Tepper's hedge fund Appaloosa Management and Senator Investment Group on Tuesday called on Allergan's board to split the office of the chief executive officer and chairman.
In a letter, the hedge funds also urged the Botox-maker to hire a new CEO or chairman from outside the company and to replace at least two additional board members.
Allergan should not look to pursue an ambitious M&A strategy at this time, the hedge funds said, and should instead focus on running its core business.
Allergan said last week it was planning to sell off two businesses it considers non-core to the company, including its women's health and infectious disease businesses. This way, the company could focus on its core aesthetics business which includes products like Botox and double chin treatment Kybella as well as its eye care brands like Restasis for dry eye, as well as its urology and gastroenterology units.
While Allergan and its CEO were once investor darlings, things took a turn in September 2017 when the company touted a deal it had struck with the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe to transfer patents of the eye drug Restasis. The move gives the drug sovereign immunity from certain patent challenges.
In October 2017, a district judge invalidated some of Restasis' patents through another channel. The loss meant Allergan wouldn't get much of the upside from the St. Regis deal, especially after the negative reaction it received from lawmakers and the public.
Matters didn't get better when Allergan announced in April it was in the "in the early stages of considering a possible offer" for the UK-listed Shire, only to say four hours later that it wouldn't make an offer.
Business Insider had previously reported that investors had raised concerns about Allergan's direction after seeing the drugmaker's shares plummet 33% in the past year. That's compared to a 12% rise for the Nasdaq Biotech Index during the same period.

What was the reason for the jump in pistachio exports?
Thursday, 08 April 2021 / Published in Blog
Although there were restrictions due to the spread of the corona, we were able to export reasonably well this year as well.
Iran's dried fruit exports to Arab countries, India and Europe, which of course has decreased to some extent, and currently most of our exports are to China, which is often for their own consumption and do not send elsewhere.
We ship nuts through Hong Kong, which is subject to a 14% discount. In fact, if we export directly to China, the Chinese importer will have to pay 14% of the duties to the Chinese government, but they will not pay the duties when they go through Hong Kong.
There is a problem in the issue of dried fruit exports, and that is that European countries can not write on their packages, for example, "Iranian pistachios" so as not to be banned due to sanctions.
In the discussion of nuts, we do not have small packages and exports are mainly in bulk. Basically, nuts are bought only in bulk, because, for example, when Germany buys nuts from us, it distributes them among large stores, and those stores are branded. They pack it themselves and sell it!
There is a problem in the discussion of dried fruit exports, and that is that European countries can not write "Iranian pistachios" on their packages, for example. Although they themselves know that Iranian pistachios are Iranian and are very different from American pistachios in terms of taste, but due to sanctions, they do not write a name from Iran that should not be banned.
The United States produces about 51 percent of the world's pistachios, and Iran, as one of the other pistachio producers, accounts for 31 percent.
Pistachio, as one of the main items of nuts, has a special place in the world and according to global statistics, in the 2019-2020 crop year, the production of pistachios was about 655.2 thousand tons worldwide.
On the other hand, global statistics show that Turkey produced 11% of the world's pistachios during this period, followed by countries such as Syria and Afghanistan with a share of 4% and 1% at the bottom of the list of pistachio producers in the world.
8-month statistics of Iranian dried fruit exports
According to statistics provided by the Customs Organization, in the first eight months of this year, Iran's dried fruit exports increased by 99 percent in terms of weight and 71 percent in terms of value.
In the first eight months of this year, we exported 133,680 tons of nuts worth $ 833,510,898, while in the same period last year, we exported 67,108 tons worth 485,958 $ 1,062 has been made from the country.
According to customs data, in the first eight months of this year, 121,305 tons of pistachios worth 797,974,740 dollars and 109,669 tons of peeled pistachios worth 675,817,854 dollars were exported. Meanwhile, 10,856 tons of pistachio kernels worth $ 118,131,865 were exported from the country during the same period.
Customs data show that in the first eight months of this year, the import of nuts has a downward trend and has decreased by 11% in terms of weight and 46% in terms of value.

Alright, before we get into Fortnite v6.22 we need to let you know about something: If you are legally eligible to vote in the United States but haven't, reading this post will transfer a mummy curse onto your household. Okay? That's just how it is. Go vote, we'll still be here when you get back.
For everyone that's already voted, and for everyone living in a country that isn't teetering on the edge of oblivion, there's a new gun in Battle Royale! It's called the Heavy AR, and as the name implies it is a beefier version of the standard Assault Rifle. Available in rare, epic, and legendary flavors, the Heavy AR does 44/46/48 damage respectively, has a magazine size of 25 rounds, and can be found in chests, vending machines, supply drops, or just lying around.
Weirdly enough, this gun has already been buffed since its introduction this morning -- Epic released a hotfix earlier today raising the Heavy AR's accuracy by 20 percent, and decreasing its recoil by the same amount. Our inference is that these post-buff figures are what the gun was intended to launch with, somebody probably just had a decimal in the wrong place.
Update v6.22 also introduced "Team Terror" as a new limited time mode. This mode is essentially a large team version of Fortnitemares -- two teams of 32 work to eliminate each other while also dealing with (read: largely ignoring) Cube Monsters. What's really interesting though, is that basically all the resources in this mode are cranked way the heck up. Farming gathers 75 percent more material than normal. Ammo boxes spawn triple the amount of ammo. Chests create twice as much ammo and twice as many consumables. It's an all-out last-person-standing no-holds-barred gunfight of value!!
One last LTM note before we move on to Save the World: Blitz mode is back. If you weren't around when Blitz was last included in the rotation, this is basically just Battle Royale with the volume turned up -- everything spawns more frequently, the storm moves more quickly, and the maximum match length is 15 minutes.
On Save the World's side of the coin, Fortnitemares Part 2 has arrived, which includes a new gun and "new" hero as quest rewards. Said gun is the Candy Corn LGM, a "heavy, festive weapon with a huge magazine full of candy shaped bullets," according to Epic. Enemies killed with the CCLMG have a chance of spawning health items on death, which is pretty handy.
Sanguine Dusk, a new Legendary Outlander-class hero, is Part 2's other main quest reward. A port of Battle Royale's Dusk skin, Sanguine Dusk features two new perks, Phase Siphon and Super Siphon. Phase Siphon heals the player and damages enemies when phase shifting through enemies, and Super Siphon increases the amount healed by Phase Siphon. Considering how much blinking around Outlanders typically do, these perks will do a ton for the class' survivability in hairy situations.
Speaking of hairy situations, Battle Royale's werewolf skin Dire comes to Save the World's event store this week as Werewolf Dire, a Mythic Ninja with two new perks: Nightstalker, which grants a 25 percent bonus to movement speed at night, and Midnight Stalker, which not only makes Nightstalker even faster, but also reduces the energy cost of abilities by 50 percent at night. As miffed as we get that most of Save the World's new heroes are just Battle Royale's handmedowns, it does soften the blow when Epic gives them such useful perks.
And thems the haps! For complete details on UI changes, bug fixes, and other similar trivialities, peep the full patch notes.

the character and nature of the appliances, fixtures and fittings on the property whether refusing consent to keep the pet on the property is permitted under any Act any prescribed matters anything else VCAT considers relevant.
Renters will be able to make certain prescribed minor modifications without the consent of the RRP. Other types of modifications (including disability-related modifications) will require the RRP's consent, which cannot be unreasonably refused. Modifications will need to be made carefully, and using a suitably qualified person in some instances. If the RRP asks, the renter will also need to restore any changes or face losing their bond to cover the cost if the RRP has to do it. Renters will remain responsible for restoring any changes made to the property, and will be able to lodge a restoration bond to cover the future removal of fixtures. Consent to fixtures is not dependent on whether the renter can lodge a restoration bond. However, it does illustrate that they will be able to meet their obligation to restore the property if requested.
the RRP has agreed to leave the modification in place without the need for restoration, or the modification has been funded by a scheme, and it is a condition of the grant that the RRP must agree to leave the modification in place and not require the renter to restore the property when they leave.
If a residential rental agreement is being assigned to a new renter, the RRP will only be able to charge reasonable fees that are reasonably incurred by the RRP because of the assignment of the agreement. This reform also applies to site agreements in residential parks.
Where a renter or RRP gives the other person a breach of duty notice, the person in breach will be required to remedy the breach if possible and, if the breach has resulted in loss or damage to the other person, compensate that other person. This reform will address current confusion about whether, if compensation is paid, there is still an obligation to remedy the breach. This reform will also apply to breaches of duty in rooming houses, caravan parks and residential parks.
If a renter causing a nuisance is served a breach of duty notice but does not comply, the RRP can't take further steps (such as apply to VCAT or a compliance order or issue a second breach notice) for 14 days. This timeframe will be shortened to 7 days, to allow RRPs to deal more effectively with wilful nuisance while not unduly penalising renters. This reform will also apply to a breach of duty for nuisance by a site tenant in a residential park.
If a RRP who is not ensuring the renter's quiet enjoyment is served a breach of duty notice but does not comply, the renter can't take further steps (such as apply to VCAT or a compliance order or issue a second breach notice) for 14 days. This timeframe will be shortened to 7 days, to allow renters to deal more effectively with intrusions on their quiet enjoyment while not unduly penalising RRPs. This reform will also apply to a breach of duty for the site tenant's quiet enjoyment in a residential park.

AFM Records — музыкальный лейбл, находящийся в Гамбурге, Германия. Фокусируется на жанре хеви-метал, заключая контракты с такими группами как, Доро, Kotipelto, Masterplan, Nostradameus и Annihilator.

История
Лейбл был основан 15 апреля 1993 года в гессенском городе Швальмштадт Андреасом «Henner» Аллендорфером, бывшим вокалистом пауэр-метал-группы Squealer, которая в это время была в поисках контракта с лейблом. Несмотря на наличие интереса со стороны представителей лейблов, Аллендорфер все же предпочел самостоятельно издать дебютный альбом «Make Your Day» (с англ. «Создай свой день») на собственном лейбле. Помимо Аллендорфера в основании лейбла принял участие и гитарист группы Аксель Фишер, а название лейбла расшифровывается как «Музыка Аллендорфера-Фишера» (нем. «Allendörfer Fischer Musik»).

Первым офисом компании стал собственный дом Аллендорфера. В 1995 году появился первый постоянный сотрудник компании. Немного позже «AFM Records» подписал контракт с пауэр-метал-группой Edguy на издание в 1997 году их второго альбома «Kingdom of Madness» (с англ. «Королевство безумия»), который по тем временам стал самым коммерчески успешным изданием лейбла. Затем последовали контракты с Tankard и U.D.O..

В 2004 году в «AFM Records» работало уже 7 сотрудников, были контракты на выпуск около 20 альбомов, а количество ежегодно издаваемых альбомов составило примерно 10.

После гибели Аллендорфера в дорожной аварии в январе 2005 года компания была реструктурирована, а её штаб-квартира была перенесена в Гамбург.

В середине 2005 года «Candlelight Records» заключил двустороннюю сделку с «AFM Records» о совместном выпуске и продвижении нескольких тайтлов. Таким образом «Candlelight Records» стал дистрибьютором для «AFM Records» в США и Латинской Америке.

На начало 2009 года компания «AFM Records GmbH» имела контракт на выпуск около 60 альбомов.

MacDonnellovo pohoří () je největší horský systém ve střední Austrálii, v teritoriu Northern Territory. Nejvyšší horou je Mount Zeil (1 531 m), dalšími nejvyššími vrcholy jsou Mount Liebig (1 524 m) a Mount Sonder (1 380 m).

Geografie
Pohoří se rozkládá od západu k východu v délce přibližně 650 km a zaujímá plochu okolo 39 300 km². Mezi horskými hřebeny se nachází široká plochá údolí. Hřebeny jsou přerušovány soutěskami, které vznikly erozí a odplavením měkčích sedimentů.

Geologie
Stáří pohoří se odhaduje na 300 až 350 miliónů let. Pohoří je tvořeno kvarcity (které způsobují zbarvení dočervena), dále žulami, vápenci, pískovci, prachovci a dalšími horninami.

'Best First Job Ever': Minnesotan Creates 'Caddie U' To Grow Next Generation
Filed Under:3M Open, Blaine, David McCoy, Golf, Local TV, TPC Twin Cities
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Mark Haugejorde spent years of his career working for Jack Nicklaus. But the Central Minnesota native has a new pet project now.
"'Best first job ever' is our tagline," Haugejorde said.
It's a nonprofit called "Caddie U," which training high school kids to be caddies. And already, they've had quite the week at the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine.
"To grow the game, we need to grow those kids' experiences one at a time. We can advertise all we want, we can shuttle everything we want," Haugejorde said. "It really it boils down to the power of one. How can we make a difference in this young person's life so that when they think about golf, it's an immediate positive impression, and then they recruit their friends."
During the Pro-Am earlier this week, they caddied for the amateurs while they played with the pros.
"That's 192 players just yesterday, and we did another 100 on Monday," Haugejorde said.
All Minnesota high schoolers, boys and girls.
"From the time that their player gets here, til the time that they leave, they're responsible for that player's experience. They're going to carry that bag, they're going to be friendly, they're going to help them with everything from raking bunkers to reading greens, and really help them really enjoy then what this 3M Open is all about," Haugejorde said. "They were so thrilled. They had never experienced anything like this. They're inside the ropes, they're understanding and learning about the PGA Tour and what that is, they're interacting with business community leaders all over, and of course, they did very well financially, too. They got paid well, so for the Fourth of July they got a little money in their pocket, or, as we know, on Venmo."
It makes you wonder. As long as this tournament continues to be here, we may see some Caddy U graduates someday caddying for one of the pros.

"You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift." ~Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
This blog is about the power of stories–in particular, the power of stories to change the world–and maybe, just maybe, to change us too.
Our scriptures, that original collection of stories that our ancestors cherished and passed down to us generation after generation, tell us, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." The stories told here on this site, whether taken individually or woven together, provide us a vision that speaks to both the presence of peace in our world today and the promise of peace for peoples and places that so desperately yearn for it.
The voices here come from throughout our global movement, 120 member organisations on 5 continents, individuals and groups who are witnessing to peace with justice through the practice of active nonviolence and reconciliation. These are the voices and stories of people close to the action, on the ground, at the grassroots, all joined together to make Pax Christi International.
About Pax Christi International
Visit the Pax Christi International website by clicking here.
Pax Christi International is a global Catholic peace movement and network that works to help establish peace, respect for human rights, justice and reconciliation in areas of the world that are torn by conflict. It is grounded in the belief that peace is possible and that vicious cycles of violence and injustice can be broken.
Pax Christi was founded in Europe in 1945 as a reconciliation movement bringing together French and Germans after World War II. Today, the movement has 120 member organisations active in more than 50 countries and five continents worldwide.
Pax Christi operates as an autonomous Catholic entity in which laypeople, bishops and other religious members work as equals in pursuit of their peace-building goals. A faith-based Catholic movement, Pax Christi pays special attention to both the positive and negative impact of religion in attempting to resolve conflicts.
Structurally, Pax Christi is a "bottom up" organisation comprised, on one hand, of national sections and local groups, all carrying the Pax Christi name, and, on the other hand, of affiliated partners and organisations who work under their own names.
Since 1979, Pax Christi International has held special consultative status with the United Nations in New York, Geneva and Vienna, as well as with UNESCO in Paris. It is also officially represented at the African Union in Addis Ababa and at the Council of Europe and enjoys, along with its member organisations, access to the European Parliament and the European Commission.
Pax Christi International received the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 1983, was recognised by the United Nations as a UN Messenger for Peace in 1987, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, most recently in 2016.

Golden retrievers rescued from slaughterhouses start off 2020 with their lives
Posted: Jan 2, 2020 12:44 PM CST
CHESAPEAKE, VA (WTKR) -- As revelers start off 2020 with New Year's resolutions, four golden retrievers are starting off with new homes, new owners and their lives. These dogs were rescued from slaughterhouses in China.
They were brought over with help from the Southeastern Virginia Golden Retriever Rescue, or SEVA GRREAT.
"It's a very tragic situation looking at pictures and videos of what the dogs do go through over there," Susan Stanitski, a volunteer with the group, said.
They worked with animal rescue coordinators in China to bring those dogs to the United States. Those coordinators recorded the dogs in cages on a truck being and transported to a slaughterhouse. SEVA GRREAT and the coordinators worked on getting clearances for the dogs so they could make the trans-pacific trip.
"They had a nice, long flight from Beijing over to JFK, about a 17-, 18-hour flight," Stanitski said. "We picked them up from JFK and then brought them back here."
Organization members traveled to New York City just before Christmas to pick up the dogs at John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport. They then made the trip back to Hampton Roads.
The new owners said the dogs are getting acclimated to their new lives in the United States in the week and a half they have been here. They added that there is still some training that needs to be done.
One of those golden retrievers is 6-month-old Ranger. His owner, Karin Pettinger, said she is teaching him about toys, using the stairs and getting in and out of a car.
"To watch him sort of discover all of these new things that dogs in the United States take for granted and are taught to do as little, tiny pups," Pettinger explained, "he's still learning his way around and figuring out how to be a dog."
Another retriever, Ashley, has settled in more quickly, according to her owner, Susan Kenter.
"She has adjusted really well," Kenter said. "She's fantastic, she loves people, she loves other dogs and she's really happy here today, I think, playing with a bunch of other golden retrievers."
The dogs spent New Year's Day morning running around a backyard with each other. Their running around suggested they have adapted to this setting from that of a cage.

"I would imagine that their fate would be in the slaughterhouse and probably on someone's plate at some point," Stanitsky said.
SEVA GRREAT said it is looking for volunteers to help take care of other rescued golden retrievers. Information on volunteering, how to help out or if you are interested in adopting a rescued golden retriever can be found on SEVA GRREAT's website.

Visual effects artist John Kennedy gives a practical guide to the commonly used post technique, green screen.
Your green screen is not your set.
Take a typical person shot against green screen. Now imagine this person in silhouette. Essentially, this is what green screen technology does. It assists us in cutting out our key action and removing it from the green environment to place it in an artificial, CG or other wise impossible or impractical space. The key goal in shooting green screen is separation. Always think of the screen as a means to an end, the means by which you separate your subject correctly for compositing purposes.
Light your screen first – then your scene.
Light your green screen flat and smooth and make sure that all the action occurs in front of this screen. People often make the mistake of throwing too much light onto the chroma key background. The ideal chroma key is one that is even and smooth in colour. Throwing too much light on will create hotspots and troublesome 'green spill' (objects reflecting the green light) on the subject. One of the best ways to light a green screen is using the green Kino Flos. Remember, you're lighting for colour, not light. Try not to light your green as bright or brighter than your subject. A good guide is to try and keep your screen about a stop under the subject.
Next, always light your scene with the green screen off. This way you will obviously get a much better idea of how your intended action will look; you're lighting for what you will see in the composited scene. Try and shoot in a space that's big enough to allow you to light your action separately from your chroma key background.
Always talk to the person who will be either doing the compositing work or supervising it and, ideally, have them on set when shooting. For example, I've often been on a green screen set and directors have fretted about light stands or booms in shot. As long as the action doesn't cross over these, they're actually fine. Questions can be answered so quickly with an effects supervisor or artist on set and sometimes even rough composites can be prepped live on set, helping actors and directors get the full picture.
The enemies of green screen.
Keep the wrinkles out. Very often a makeshift green screen is required and usually comes in the form of a mobile pop-out portable green screen or a larger sheet that is usually held in place with poles. Either way – avoid wrinkles. Wrinkles are the opposite of the desired smooth, even colour around your talent and should be avoided at all costs.
Only put tracking marks in if they are required. There's usually no point in placing several large Xs on the wall three metres behind your subject if it's going to end up as mountains that appear miles away in the background of the final composite. More importantly, if your camera doesn't move then keep the trackers off the wall – they will only increase the workload later.
Try and keep factors such as loose hair, reflective elements and motion blur to a minimum: these are obvious enemies of green screen. Also, try and shoot progressively – interlaced footage can cause keying problems. Pay attention to your shutter speed as fast-moving motion-blurred action can be tricky to key.
Everybody's talking about shooting digitally and compositors tend to love working with the higher end of digital footage: hdcam sr, red, etc. Shooting digitally for compositing, especially in formats that give you greater colour bit depth than standard video, is great not only for its colour information but also for the lack of film weave and grain – the enemies of compositing! Super 16 and 35 mm are great and loved formats. However, you have to deal with the very, very slight 'bounce' in your footage due the mechanical process of running celluloid through a sprocket-driven system. You need to make sure your composited end result either eliminates or matches this subtle, random and (if treated incorrectly) very visible film weave. Combine this with matching the noise and grain signature of film with pristine CG or, worse again, footage shot on a different stock – then you have a whole world of extra pain that was probably never anticipated. Experience will allow most filmmakers to factor this in as part of the compositing process. Digital is the way of the future and, for the purposes of green screen work, is welcomed.
At the lower end of things: if you shoot on a lower or domestic format digital camera don't expect your green screen work to win an Oscar® for technical achievement just yet. You can achieve very satisfactory results on lower end cameras with poorly-lit green screens but don't expect a miracle.
And stay away from HDV – it's the worst format ever made. Ever!
A good habit to form is to always shoot a few seconds of your set empty before or after your key action is shot. There's a little compositing technique called difference keying that can often be helpful to compositors.
This little tip applies not only to green screen shoots but to any shoot to which you may be adding CG elements. It's very helpful to shoot your set lit and empty before rolling on action with a matte white ball in the space that your CG element will occupy. This gives 3D artists and compositors a good idea of your lighting model and lets them know what colour value and direction the hotspots and shadows have.


You know how sometimes life gets away from you? Well, I have a photography business that I run, as well as all of the crafts, websites and raising children, so I can get quite busy and sometimes leave something behind a little bit. Usually in my life, the two things that suffer are my websites and my crafting. Well, thus is not the case with the crafting this time - I've been working on lots of great projects, but I haven't posted about any of them!
Today, I'll share with you one of the simple things that I made while I've been absent!
It was super easy and took maybe 15 minutes. Here is the pattern!
Special Stitches: V-stitch: (dc, ch 2, dc) all in same st.
Ch 30, join to make ring.
R2: ch 4 (counts as dc and ch 1), dc in same space, skip two dc, *V- stitch, sk two dc* around, joining with sl st to 3rd ch of ch 4 from beginning of round.
R3: sl into ch 1 sp,( ch 2, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 3 hdc) all in ch 1 sp, sl st in next ch 1 sp, *(3 hdc, 2 dc, 3 hdc) in ch 1 sp, sl st in next ch 1 sp* around, join with sl st to top of ch 2 from beginning of round.
Hope you all like it! Feel free to leave a comment below!!!


The First State is saving money and boosting network uptime by centralizing its backup systems and network services.
"Right now, we back up 103 different boxes with up to 500 gigs per night," said Doug Lilly, senior telecommunications technologist with Delaware's Technology and Information Department.
Delaware is using Galaxy Version 4.2 software from CommVault Systems Inc. of Oceanport, N.J., for 'all facets of its backup strategy,' including disaster recovery, Lilly said. The software can stow data for applications including Microsoft Exchange, Windows 2000 Active Directory, and file and print servers.
Delaware is also using Symmetrix storage tools from EMC Corp. of Hopkinton, Mass., for much of its data storage, Lilly said. The EMC systems are at four locations scattered throughout the state. If a hurricane near Delaware Bay knocked out one site, for example, the three other systems would still preserve the state's data.
Delaware used to run Banyan Vines as its network operating system, Lilly said. Each state agency maintained its own mail servers and was responsible for its own backup systems.
'We knew we needed something more enterprise level,' he said.
When the state deployed Windows 2000 three years ago, the state standardized each agency on Microsoft Exchange. Now the state runs everything under Windows 2000, Lilly said.
At the same time, Delaware decided to switch to a centralized IT management model. The Technology and Information Department took charge of all domain controllers and became the overseer of the state's WAN.
Lilly said he doesn't know the exact cost savings gleaned through using the CommVault software, but the whole backup process is run by a handful of people and the Galaxy software costs less than similar products offered by other companies.
'We can go in, restore all the libraries and can back up and restore'all from one piece of software,' he said.
It was a challenge going from a situation where every agency was autonomous to one where the Technology and Information Department centrally managed all backups and e-mail, Lilly said.

Silently through the night to the sultan's tent where he would secretly meet up with Fatima of the Seven Veils, the swingingest number one dancer in the Sultan's whole harem, 'cause, like him and her had a thing going, you know, and they'd been carrying on for some time now behind the Sultan's back and you could hear him talk to his camel as he rode out across the dunes, his voice would cut through the still night desert air and he'd say [imitate Arabic speech], which is Arabic for, "Stop,Clyde"! And Clyde'd say, [imitate camel voice],Which is camel for " What the heck did he say anyway? "!
In the rear of Fatima's tent.
Jumped off Clyde, snuck around the corner and into the tent he went.
And a bone in her nose ho, ho.
There she was, friends and neighbors, laying there in all her radiant beauty. Eating on a raisin, and a grape, and an apricot, a pomegranate, a bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars, and sipping on a "ROC" Co-Cola, listening to her transistor, watching the Grand Ole Opry, and reading Mad magazine while she sung, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose it's Flavor?" And Ahab walked up to her and he'd say [imitate Arabic], which is Arabic for, "Let's twist again like we did last summer, baby" [giggles]. And she'd say [coy, girlish laugh] "Crazy baby"!
[Background singers] Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around.
All of a sudden, the Sultan walked in.
Ahab knew that this was the end.
And the Sultan had fire flashing outta his eyes.
Well, the Sultan charged at Ahab, intending to make a dent...in his head.
But he fled with Fatima, and out of the tent they went.
With the Sultan's whole army in hot pursuit...on and on they ran.
Well, to make a long story short, they got away, cause there weren't no animal alive what could keep up with Clyde once he got started. Cuz he was the swiftest steed on the whole desert, babies. And they made it across the border, where he had hocked all his rubies and emeralds and they bought 'em a swinging little split-level pad and lived happy ever after.
The swinging Sheik of the burnin' sand.

MusicMachine 2 by MB&F for Reuge
* MB&F presents MusicMachine 2, an ultra-modern music box created in cooperation with Reuge. This spaceship-inspired object plays theme songs from Star Wars and Star Trek, but instead of the same three rock tunes that MusicMachine 1 offered, it boasts a new selection of rock classics from the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The Clash (very good taste –ed). mbandf.com/machines/performance-art/musicmachine2
Pierce Brosnan wearing his Speake-Marin Resilience on USA Today's 'Talking Tech'
* During a brief video interview this week on USA Today's "Talking Tech," actor Pierce Brosnan was spotted wearing his Speake-Marin Resilience as he explained his fondness for Instagram. www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/talkingtech/2014/08/26/pierce-brosnan-on-how-to-get-10000-followers-on-instagram-save-the-world-4-times/14534125/
Arnold & Son UTTE tourbillon
* Arnold & Son releases two new versions of the UTTE tourbillon, an exceptionally clean and thin tourbillon with an off-center time display. The new versions include red gold or palladium cases, which measure 42 x a shockingly thin 8.34 mm, making this one of the thinnest tourbillon watches on the market. The appearance of technical wizardry is enhanced by the large spherically formed tourbillon whose cage measures an impressive 14 mm. Taking up almost half of the 32 mm that the movement measures, the effect is nothing short of dramatic. www.arnoldandson.com/home/instrument-collection/utte/
Grieb & Benzinger Blue Dragon Imperial
* Grieb & Benzinger presents a special unique piece called Blue Dragon Imperial, which features a fully skeletonized dragon within a movement that seems to float within the white gold case framed by 66 Princess-cut diamonds. The blue platinum-coated movement is a very rare specimen indeed: it is an original blue movement made by Charles Oudin in about 1820 specifically for the Chinese market.
Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme Ivory Enamel
* Jaquet Droz releases the latest iteration of the Grande Seconde Quantième Ivory, originally introduced in 2011, whose beautifully finished movement now incorporates a silicon balance spring. While a look through the transparent case back reveals sheer modernity, the front remains traditional and typical of the brand. This watch is available in 39 or 43 mm case sizes in red or white gold. The dial is grand feu enamel. Watch this interesting TheWATCHES.TV video to see more: www.thewatches.tv/en/editorial/jaquet-droz-grande-seconde-quantieme/.
