Jeffrey R. Snyder Quotes
Jeffrey R. Snyder
As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
Fortunately, there is a weapon for preserving life and liberty that can be wielded effectively by almost anyone -- the handgun. Small and light enough to be carried habitually, lethal, but unlike the knife or sword, not demanding great skill or strength, it truly is the 'great equalizer.' Requiring only hand-eye coordination and a modicum of ability to remain cool under pressure, it can be used effectively by the old and the weak against the young and the strong, by the one against the many.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
[O]ne who values his life and takes seriously his responsibilities to his family and community will possess and cultivate the means of fighting back, and will retaliate when threatened with death or grievous bodily injury to himself or a loved one. He will never be content to rely solely on others for his safety....~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
But to ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow. ... For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
Is your life worth protecting? If so, whose responsibility is it to protect it? ... How can you rightfully ask another human being to risk his life to protect yours, when you will assume no responsibility yourself?~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
To own firearms is to affirm that freedom and liberty are not gifts from the state. It is to reserve final judgment about whether the state is encroaching on freedom and liberty, to stand ready to defend that freedom with more than mere words, and to stand outside the state's totalitarian reach.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant of the people... The Bill of Rights does not grant rights to the people, such that its repeal would legitimately confer upon government the powers otherwise proscribed. The Bill of Rights is the list of the fundamental, inalienable rights, endowed in man by his Creator, that define what it means to be a free and independent people, the rights which must exist to ensure that government governs only with the consent of the people.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder
Crime is rampant because the law-abiding, each of us, condone it, excuse it, permit it, submit to it. We permit and encourage it because we do not fight back, immediately, then and there, where it happens. Crime is not rampant because we do not have enough prisons, because judges and prosecutors are too soft, because the police are hamstrung with absurd technicalities. The defect is there, in our character. We are a nation of cowards and shirkers.~ Jeffrey R. Snyder

We discuss the role of the independent – both the independent voter and the potential for an independent presidential candidate – in the race for the White House with Colby College Political Science Professor Sandy Maisel and the Wall Street Journal's Dante Chinni. We'll also discuss how a contested convention might work, and what the possibilities are of the Congress determining who is elected president.
Listen to our conversation about the role of independent voters this campaign cycle.
Guests: Sandy Maisel, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Government and founding director of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement at Colby College, where he has taught since 1971. He is the author or editor of 17 books including American Political Parties and Elections: A Very Short Introduction and Evaluating Campaign Quality: Can the Electoral Process Be Improved? From Obscurity to Oblivion: Running in the Congressional Primary chronicled Maisel's unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination for Congress in Maine's First Congressional District in 1978. His published articles have appeared in many political science journals and anthologies, including the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, and the Legislative Studies Quarterly.

New map helps predict where greenhouse gas might be emitted after permafrost thaw
A new global mapping project has pinpointed regions where, due to global warming, the risk is high for thawing permafrost to release carbon as greenhouse gases.
Northern permafrost soils store twice as much carbon as is currently in the atmosphere, but the future of this carbon store is uncertain.
"The soil organic matter that's in permafrost, when you're thawing it out—like vegetables from your freezer—will start to decompose and release greenhouse gases," said David Olefeldt, the project's lead researcher and an expert in landscape carbon cycling in the Department of Renewable Resources.
"The most dramatic changes are likely to occur where permafrost thaw is accompanied by land surface collapse."
Land surface collapse due to permafrost thaw is known as thermokarst, and occurs when thawing soil contains large amounts of ice. Thermokarst can lead to more than two dozen distinct collapse landforms, including gullies, slumps, wetlands and lakes. Each type affects greenhouse gas emissions in its own way, and up until now no one has been able to account for all of them at the global scale.
"From local work (individual scientists' field projects), we know that the development of these thermokarst landforms can lead to very large greenhouse gas emissions," said Olefeldt. "Furthermore, thermokarst often leads to wet conditions that favour methane emissions—a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide."
Scaling results from the local to the global has so far been hindered by both the diversity of the thermokarst landforms and a lack of information on where these thermokarst landforms are most likely to occur in a warming world.
To start figuring this out, Olefeldt and scientists from the Permafrost Carbon Network (an international group that synthesizes existing research) grouped thermokarst landforms into a few categories and linked their occurrence to certain landscape characteristics for which information exists. By layering available maps of topography, soil type and permafrost conditions, they ended up with a new map that shows which regions are good candidates for having lots of thermokarst landforms.
The study concluded that about 20 per cent of the globe's northern permafrost region is potential thermokarst landscape—an area about five times larger than Alberta.
"Now that we have an assessment of where these landforms occur, scientists can play around with different assumptions, such as how fast will they expand and how fast the soil organic matter will turn into greenhouse gases," said Olefeldt.
That's especially important since last December's Paris Agreement set limits on the amount of greenhouse gases the world's countries can release, in order to hold the average global temperatures to below a 2C increase compared to pre-industrial times. "If there are large emissions from thawing permafrost soils, we may overshoot such targets even if fossil fuel emissions are reduced," said Olefeldt.
"The map allows us to estimate how much greenhouse gases will be released into the atmosphere due to permafrost thaw and hopefully we find that it is less of a problem than what local field studies have indicated."
The thermokarst landscape map is available to anyone through the online site hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oakridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. The paper that explains the study is published in Nature Communications.

The Pot Lifter is a handy device for lifting pots, mugs, survival tins, etc. out of a fire. It does not stay attached to the item, so it always stays cool, and even works on pots or mugs with a rim. Just clamp to the side of the item you want to lift. It will even pick-up a pot with a bail. The Pot Lifter is wide so it provides more stability when lifting than do pliers. This a handy little item in the field when cooking over a fire. Measures 5" long x 1" wide, and weighs only 1.6 oz.

Carol's Challenging Poverty
April 29, 2022 May 1, 2022 / Graham Smallman
They say poverty is relative. When you look around the world, and particularly in war-torn and emerging third world countries, it's easy to identify the 'have's' and 'have-not's'. But have you noticed how happy most of the people appear in these very poor countries, despite the fact that they often have absolutely nothing to their name apart from the clothes they stand up in – and those are usually donated throw-away from a first-world country!
Needing a Helping Hand Pexels.com
We cannot imagine what that level of poverty is like in our country because, love them or hate them, our Governments have managed to increase our standard of living, albeit we still have different levels of wealth but not abject poverty as in so many parts of the world. I'm not trying to be judgemental here but, from images on television, newspapers, social media, etc., being poor in this country does not compare with the living conditions in the likes of Afghanistan, Syria, Africa, India and all the other countries which regularly show their people in crisis.
I've known personal poverty in my own life and not-so-fondly remember my mum and I, during the 1960's, living on a packet of pea soup and bread between us for tea every night for a week because she couldn't afford to buy us more food….and she went out to work! There were no welfare benefits then and the poverty safety net hadn't been invented. These days, poor people can claim so many things which just weren't available in earlier generations.
While we know life is very difficult for many people in this country, and it's going to get a whole lot worse in the coming months with increases in energy, housing, fuel, food, National Insurance, etc., we still see some people on television purporting to be on low incomes but still sporting tattoos, top-end mobile phones, facial enhancements, etc. I'm sure it's the minority but, to be honest, some people find it easier to be reliant on the welfare system than working for a living.
Additionally, many people wonder why poor people continue to have more children that they cannot afford. As we all know, and particularly with social media and peer pressure these days, children can be very expensive, particularly if they're into a designer lifestyle. I know of one child some years ago whose shoe soles were flapping about and her school jumper was completely ragged but her parents still bought her several pieces of the latest computer games equipment for Christmas that year!
In Jesus's time, most people were very poor and didn't have all the trappings that a modern society like ours now has. Graham, what do you think Jesus would make of the poverty situation in this country now?
Rev Graham replies:
As you make clear, Carol, in your question, poverty is relative from one section of community to another and in different countries worldwide. When I visited Albania and Kosovo on a Men for Missions trip, I was shocked by the level of poverty people were experiencing and, when I returned home, realised how rich I was compared to them.
However, we cannot measure poverty and riches just on the basis of material possessions. People may be considered poor yet feel quite rich in their environment and relationships which is shown in their levels of generosity to each other. This compares to many wealthy people who might be less generous and thankful for the simple things in life.
At this point, Carol, I want to address your question by trying to establish what may constitute basic human requirements and use that as a pivot or axis, as used for a seesaw in a children's playground, that goes up and down and to reflect certain levels of poverty and wealth.

Axis of Daily Requirements
We all require some form of shelter that we might call home. It will provide a place where we can cook food and keep warm and feel protected while we sleep and relax. A television and access to social media is not vital but a major requirement for engaging in the modern world. It is important that we are able to feel some measure of love and to share such love. It is vital to have some form of work or daily activity that provides a measure of income and have an ability to interact with people within a local and wider community.
Levels of Poverty
If a family of two adults and three children have access to one bedroom, a limited bathroom, lounge and kitchen and very little money then that might be considered poor by many standards of living.
Levels of Wealth
A similar family of five live in a property with five bedrooms and each one has an en-suite. There are four reception rooms, a large kitchen, conservatory, garden and a generous drive and garage to accommodate three cars. This standard of living, with excessive money in the bank, may be classed as being wealthy. On the above basis, the axis of Poverty is low and the pivot of Wealth is high.
Equal levels of living
When considering two random families, both would be able to accommodate their own requirements from a reasonable level of income dependent on their skill base and living conditions in respective countries. It is always difficult to make relative comparisons that might equate to an equal or unequal standard of living that both are able to enjoy and appreciate.
Emotional Poverty and Wealth
Alongside any measure of material wealth or poverty, there has to be some form of estimation as to how people feel in terms of emotional wealth and happiness, poverty and sadness. A family that is materially poor may feel very rich because of all the love and care they experience on a daily basis which helps them to live in and with a lack of material things.
This may compare to families who have no shortage of material needs and live in a continual state of abundance yet find themselves impoverished because they do not experience an overflowing abundance of shared human love in or outside the family. There are numerous variations of poverty and wealth that we all experience at different times due to our respective health, wealth and circumstances generally.
Spiritual Poverty and Wealth
In the Western world we live in a society built on consumerism while knowing that we have more than enough of our daily requirements. Holiday-makers may enjoy the delights of an all-inclusive but still find time to complain. They express anger in their abundance which reflects a spirit of self-centeredness and greed. This contrasts to attending a retreat at a local Abbey where all the food and accommodation is very basic but adequate and demands a spirit of thanksgiving to God who is our ultimate provider alongside all the love and support of the community we share it with.
In the Old Testament we have many references to those who are poor and those who are very rich. As we think of Moses, his life was transformed from being abandoned at a very young age to living and enjoying life in an Egyptian palace. In the wonderful story of Ruth, she experienced the loss of family members and found herself homeless and begging for food. In Jewish law and practice she benefitted from a share of the harvest and eventually found new love and happiness.
In Proverbs 22: 1-2 it highlights the plight of the poor and rich. "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold" and the "Rich and poor have this in common; the Lord is the Maker of them all." Proverbs 31: 9 says that the Lord defends the rights of the poor and needy. In Psalm 34: 6 the Lord hears and saves the poor out of all their troubles.
Many of the Old Testament prophets like Amos 5; 11- 12 called for a review of how society may function so as to provide for the poor with compassion. The church has a great tradition of offering support for the poor and all those in particular need and has been instrumental in creating social structures so that fairness, equality and justice flourish. The prophet Haggai encouraged his hearers to think about their spiritual poverty which prevents joy and a natural thirst for life and to change it into spiritual plenty.
In the New Testament Jesus spoke a lot about wealth and made it clear that it was far better to give than receive. Jesus lived a very simple life without a permanent home. During his years of ministry he had no regular income and had to trust for all his daily requirements to be met that definitely did not include a TV and laptop! With his disciples he trusted for his daily bread. The Lord identifies very strongly with the poor and oppressed. Paul in Philippians 4: 12 asks us to be content 'in plenty or in want.'
The poor and the rich
In the teachings and sentiments of Jesus he makes clear that we will always have the poor and the rich. We do have opportunities to ensure that the plight of the poor is lifted practically and emotionally. When we return to the seesaw of life may we see more of the ups and downs balancing out, so that it reflects a vibrancy and blessing rather than a consistent period of poverty and sadness.
So, Carol, in whatever way possible may we contribute in gifts and time to our local churches, charities, national and international initiatives to relieve the plight of those in poverty and crisis which is a way in which God moves us to be a means of provision to those in need and to accept such provision as from the hand of the Lord as represented in the Signpost Organizations below:

No. 3 men's gymnastics looks to claim first MPSF Championship in a decade
No. 3 Stanford men's gymnastics looks to end its 10-year drought at the MPSF Championships on Saturday. (Photo: KAREN HICKEY/isiphotos.com)
By Jordan John Lee
In 2019, the Cardinal captured its sixth national championship, ending the Oklahoma Sooners' four-title streak. Now, No. 3 Stanford men's gymnastics (5-1-1, 3-0-1 MPSF) looks to end another streak on Saturday held by No. 1 Oklahoma (6-0-1, 3-0-1 MPSF) — a dominant eight-title streak at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Championships.
The last time Stanford claimed victory at the MPSF Championships was in 2011.
In his 19th season, head coach Thom Glielmi, who claimed his fifth MPSF Coach of the Year award on Thursday, will look to guide his team to victory at the MPSF Championships for only the third time during his time at Stanford.
Glielmi will rely to junior Brody Malone, who earned his third-consecutive MPSF Gymnast of the Year award on Thursday and is the reigning College Gymnastics Association (CGA) and MPSF Gymnast of the Week, to put up strong performances across all six events.
Reigning CGA Specialist of the Week, junior Ian Gunther, claimed second-place finishes across three events — pommel horse, still rings and high bar — against No. 15 Army and will supplement the depth of Malone.
The CGA could not stop loving the Cardinal's performance against the Black Knights last Saturday as it crowned freshman Brandon Nguyen with CGA Rookie of the Week honors.
Nguyen competed in four events with a solid 14.500 on the vault, finishing third on the apparatus behind Malone and sophomore Brandon Briones. Briones was able to stop Malone's complete sweep of awards by claiming the vault title with a 14.700.
His consistency on the vault this season puts him as the second-best vaulter in the nation with a National Qualifying Average score of 14.850.
The Cardinal will look to capitalize on its best events — vault, parallel bars and still rings — as the team is ranked in the top-three nationally across the three.
Along with Oklahoma, Stanford will face No. 11 California and No. 13 Air Force at the MPSF Championships. A live broadcast of the meet can be watched here starting at 12:00 p.m. PT on Saturday.

Cycling Navigation specialists Mio have extended their range to include their new 500 series, headlined by the Mio 505 HC cycling monitor. The new lightweight devices sit alongside their Cyclo 300 and 100 series, and feature Wi-Fi functionality. Below is a first hand review and hands on video of the Mio 505.
We have been using the Mio Cyclo 505 HC for a number of weeks now and in all honestly, we have already developed something of a hate/love relationship with it. At BurnTech, we're positive folk, so lets focus on the bits that we love first.
The Mio 'surprise me' function: Surprise me is built into the Mio maps, which come pre-loaded on the 505 HC. You can be anywhere in the UK, and all you have to do is tell the Mio device how far you want to go or how long long you want to ride for. The Mio 505 will then calculate a route based on these parameters for you, providing a unique and different ride every time you use it. We loved the spontaneity that this delivered and were pleased that it was able to recommend some novel routes even around our home area – despite the fact that we though we had expired all of the new trails.
Built in Wi-Fi, which doesn't need your computer to be on: Syncing all of our different fitness technology devices can be something of a nightmare, especially when you need different devices (iPad's, home computers, connected TVs etc) to be turned on in order to access the respective gadgets online account. The Mio 505 will connect with the Mio online account even whilst your computer is turned off, providing a really simple way to update your info. This really lowers the barriers to using the online service. Just ht the wi-fi sync button, and you're good to go.
Easy storing of new routes: Simple one button upload of a favorite route to your online account is a great way to ensure that you can re-find any route, whether its one you discovered yourself, or one that the Mio surprise me feature put you on to. A great way to quickly buildup a collection of good routes in your local area.
A simple and intuitive dashboard: The 505 series has a really simple to navigate and clear to read nav panel, comprising of; navigate, dashboard, history, workout, surprise me and settings. These are self explanatory and a real doddle to use mid-ride. Generally, the dashboard is normally the key display whilst on the move, whereas the other sections set up the navigation or access previous workouts. Also, the other sections feature workout-based schedules and sessions with particular goals and specific locations.
Good core-metrics during your ride: The average speed, active time and distance is displayed alongside GPS speed. The next column shows details about calories burnt, maximum speed, percentage grade and distance to the next turn.
We feel the price is prohibitively high, compared to other models on the market. We would go as far as suggesting that this device is ridiculously overpriced but ultimately the sales figures will prove us right or wrong on this front.
The cable tie fittings are also overpriced and sub-par quality. They were an issue when we came to install the product onto our cycle frame, and were an unfortunate and quite needless let down.
The cadence monitor, which as we've already stated is very important to this device, is inaccurate due to the poor fit. Its a mystery as to why Mio did not use a more standard bands and tape based fit.
The device takes longer to boot than we have seen on rival products. Once booted, navigating by the address feature is a painful throwback to some of the earlier sat nav devices.
The Mio 500 series does not feature Mac support, which is something to note for any Apple fans.
As you've probably gathered by now, the Mio Cyclo 505 HC has three vital components; The heart-rate monitor which is adjustable, the GPS unit and speed monitor and cadence. For the speed monitor, which is a key component for this device, it uses the rear bracket positions, spoke and pedal arm to acquire the RPM. The GPS system comprises of a twist lock system that has two interlocking rubber sections, which combine to deliver a tight fit. When you pop these rubber sections onto the handlebars, ensure that the device is a tight fit in order to avoid the device coming lose mid-ride (we found out the hard way, although this sounds very basic).
The Mio Cyclo leaves us feeling torn.In many ways, this is a device which positively oozes quality and innovative features, yet lets itself down with poor quality cable ties which then make a crucial component, the cadence monitor, inaccurate. Anybody who is looking to drop £470 on a piece of cycling kit is evidently somebody who takes their training and cycling very seriously, and such a person is unlikely to be able to overlook some of the deficiencies that we have pointed out. When you operate at this end of the market, we at Burntech.tv feel that you should be ticking all of the boxes. For us, the Mio 505 TC cycling monitor left a few too many boxes unticked.
However, and this is where the love / hat aspect returns, the Mio 505 is fundamentally an excellent device. In many ways its hard to imagine anything more that you could ask for from a cycling computer, and i especially loved the surprise me feature. Anybody who has been left cycling the same area for any period of time will appreciate the ability to scalably find new routes.
Real-time navigation across Europe is a real standout feature, and anybody who likes to take their bike onto the continent will definitely appreciate this. This has the potential to help you out in a tight spot, and as such, can be considered a genuine safety device on the unfamiliar roads and areas.
All of this makes the final verdict quite hard. On the whole, we do find it hard to overlook the price and the fact that it comes with some deficiencies, although i could well imagine riders being able to get past this, and really taking to the Mio 505HC. Is there such a thing as marmite when it comes to cycling navigation units?

Q: regex date validation I'd like to know how to make the year to be mandatory with 4 digits
reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26972181/3541735
my regex is tweaked a little bit not to permit "/" or "." and only numbers for months:
^(?:(?:31(-)(?:0?[13578]|1[02]))\1|(?:(?:29|30)(-)(?:0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])\2))(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})$|^(?:29(-)(?:0?2)\3(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00))))$|^(?:0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])(-)(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))\4(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})$

Debuggex Demo

A: Requiring 4 digits for the year was a little bit tricky given the complexity of the regex, but with the help of Debuggex I was able to find the three locations where a ? allowed the year to be specified as either 2 or 4 digits. By removing these three occurrences of ?, the year is now required to include all 4 digits. Otherwise, the first 2 digits were optional.
^(?:(?:31(-)(?:0?[13578]|1[02]))\1|(?:(?:29|30)(-)(?:0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])\2))(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)\d{2})$|^(?:29(-)(?:0?2)\3(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00))))$|^(?:0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])(-)(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))\4(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)\d{2})$

Here is a visual representation of the updated regex. Note that three of the bypass loops no longer appear on the first two digits on the year.

Admittedly, it has been a hard year so far for all concerned. And the harsh truth is there will be a lot of engineers not receiving a pay rise this year.
It's a bit like saying Santa will not be bringing you a present this year (sorry kids) or that your birthday's been cancelled due to fog.
So with this scenario in mind, our attentions turn to plying our trade with another company – it's fair to say that a lot of engineers feel undervalued by their current employers and within the industry and I have to include myself in this scenario.
But before we all jump into the recruitment melting pot in a fit of frustration, stop and ask yourself why you are really moving?
It could be or a variety of reasons. Money is normally the main one, then you have conditions, travelling distance, clash of personalities etc. We all have our grievances when it comes to leaving our current employer. Personally, I have had many jobs and they have been varied over the years that I am now on toes having ran out of fingers.
In all circumstances did I move for the right reasons? At the time yes, but upon reflection I should have stayed were I was in certain jobs and seen it out as things did improve as the times improved, so before you jump ship, take a step back and speak to your employer and friends about leaving if possible. Weigh it up carefully, because a much as it affects you, it also has an indirect effect on the people around you.
Then there is the recruitment nightmare that you now have to go through. In days gone by it was done word of mouth, but now that we seem to do little communication between companies and engineers.
A lot of engineers are recruited via the internet and there are a lot of jobs online that do look interesting, but I would ask you to do as much digging as possible about the job that you are applying for and try to find out why they are recruiting. Are they recruiting because of an upturn in workload or because they cannot keep their engineers due to management issues or working practices, again I know this through experience.
I have never seen so many engineers fed up with the jobs they are at the moment, but before you make the jump, take it from me, the grass isn't always greener.

Q: Itextpdf : text and color in rectangle Is it possible to set a text with background color in rectangle using iText?
I have the following code :
PdfContentByte canvas = writer.getDirectContent();
BaseColor bColor = new BaseColor(0xFF, 0xD0, 0x00);
canvas.setColorFill(bColor);
canvas.fill();
canvas.rectangle(rect.getLeft(), rect.getBottom() - 1.5f, rect.getWidth(), rect.getHeight());
canvas.stroke();

But color seems to be ignored. What am I doing wrong?

A: You are doing things in the wrong order.
You need:

*

*Change graphics state (e.g. fill color, stroke color,...)

*Create path

*Fill and/or stroke path

You can switch step 1 and 2, but step 3 always needs to be last.
So you should adapt your code like this:
PdfContentByte canvas = writer.getDirectContent();
BaseColor bColor = new BaseColor(0xFF, 0xD0, 0x00);
canvas.setColorFill(bColor);
canvas.rectangle(rect.getLeft(), rect.getBottom() - 1.5f, rect.getWidth(), rect.getHeight());
canvas.fillStroke();

Note that this is also wrong:
PdfContentByte canvas = writer.getDirectContent();
BaseColor bColor = new BaseColor(0xFF, 0xD0, 0x00);
canvas.setColorFill(bColor);
canvas.rectangle(rect.getLeft(), rect.getBottom() - 1.5f, rect.getWidth(), rect.getHeight());
canvas.fill();
canvas.stroke();

In this case, the rectangle will be filled by canvas.fill(), but it won't have any border, because the path created using the rectangle() method has been dealt with when you filled it. No new path has been created between canvas.fill(); and canvas.stroke(); so the stroke() operator won't do anything.

A: Please put
canvas.setColorFill(bColor);
canvas.fill();

after
 canvas.rectangle(rect.getLeft(), rect.getBottom() - 1.5f, rect.getWidth(), rect.getHeight());

same issue iText PDF Rectangle fill with color


Be careful, insects are similar to crustaceans in terms of allergies !
Home > The experience> Be careful, insects are similar to crustaceans in terms of allergies !
ALLERGIC TO CURSTACEANS ? BE CAREFULL TO INSECTS !
God, if you're allergic to insects it's like a double punishment! Firstly you're not able to eat the wonders of the ocean such as prawns, crabs, lobsters and other delights, which then in most cases means you can't even eat insects as you will also be allergic.
Why are you allergic to edible insects?
You may know that insects are part of the big family of arthropods. In this diverse family we find the insects, arachnids (which includes spiders that we love so much) and also the crustaceans! As close cousins, insects and crustaceans share the same allergen: chitin. The chitin is a characteristic component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of insects and the shell of prawns, crabs and lobsters which can cause inflammation for people with an allergy. You got it, it's better to be careful, that's why we quote "same allergen as crustaceans" on every one of our packs as well as constant reminders on all our literature.
Between 1% and 2% of the population would be allergic to crustaceans with various degrees of allergic reaction ranging from mild itching to swelling. The best option is not to eat insects if you have any doubt about if you may be allergic or also those of your friends.
I ate an insects and I'm allergic, what do I have to do?
The first thing to do is to stay calm. It may be the first time you eat an insect and the allergic reactions are not systematic. If you're highly allergic to crustaceans, you may already have a treatment that you can use in prevention. Allergic reactions vary on the quantities consumed, so if you just eaten a full box of Mealworms and you don't have a treatment, we recommend for you to go to your local pharmacy to purchase a treatment. In case of a severe reaction, it is better to play it safe and call an emergency number right away!
So there you go, we don't joke about allergens. In case of any doubt, stay with you crisps and your peanuts (unless of course you also have a nut allergy then avoid!).

Lurking in the Shadows By Jaidis ShawA fantastic anthology of horror, thrills, paranormal, dark & twisted stories. Each Author brings their own touch: unique, original, fascinating, captivating, compellinguly a page turner. I loved each story, they are all excellent and hard to choose a favorite. But I must admit ; The House on Juniper Lane (Jaidis Shaw), was one of my favorites. Chilling to the bone. Lurking in the Shadows is a must read for those who love spooky page-turning tales.
Not a huge horror fan, unless the horror is more psychological and I have to say this anthology gave me the spooks! Some favorite stories were "Release" by E.M. Fitch, "Too Young to Kill" by Lily Luchesi, and "An Empty Building" by Jacqueline E. Smith. I love anthologies because they give me a glimpse of authors I might have missed otherwise.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. My honest review is, this book is FANTASTIC! The stories in this book grab you in and don't let go. The authors did a wonderful job with the suspense, the characters, and the horror. I am a huge fan of horror, especially horror anthologies, and this book does not disappoint in any way. If you like horror, do not hesitate to buy this. You won't regret it!!
review of Lizzie by Tania HaganI loved this story. It was easy to read, well organized, and thought provoking. As with this authors other book, The Cure, the reader is immediately taken into the plot of the story. She keeps you on edge for what is going to happen so it is difficult to put it down. I personally want to read more from Tania Hagan.
A wonderfully written Anthology of Horror Stories.Each Author added Humor along with the Horror. There is a total of eleven short stories each with a wide range of spookiness. I loved The House on Juniper Lane ( Jaidis Shaw) From Haunted Houses to unsettled Spirits this Anthology really kept me wondering? What is really hiding in the Shadows!
Excellent read for a dark and stormy nightI am a fan of horror, the paranormal, and the bizarre. All these stories kept me going. Couldn't just read onehad to binge read. I will be reading more books by these talented authors.
Lizzie is my favorite story! Tania Hagan is an amazing writer!

Q&A: Anna Sale on asking questions about death, sex, money
By The Editors, CJR
A great interview is one of the journalist's most powerful tools. It can be informative, entertaining, thoughtful. For the next five weeks, the Columbia Journalism Review and MaximumFun.org will broadcast conversations with some of the world's greatest interviewers. Hosted by NPR's Jesse Thorn, the podcast, called The Turnaround, will examine the science and art of journalism.
This episode features Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money. An edited transcript is below.
Jesse Thorn: Your show, Death, Sex & Money, is a very particular kind of interview show. I thought I would ask you to describe it because it sounds like the kind of show that has a real tight solid elevator pitch.
Anna Sale: It does have a tight elevator pitch, but I think it's actually much broader than the way it sounds. The idea for the show when I pitched it was I wanted to have an interview show where you didn't skip over the actual meat of what I consider to be the things that actually drive our decisions in life. And that is relationships, money, and the fact that we're all going to die. So, it's a personal interview show, but I try to make sure that we don't skip over those parts, and that I focus on those parts. Like if we're talking about a moment of career transition, I want to know how someone supported themselves when they made the leap. Or if they had a huge change in their life, how that changed their relationship. So that was the idea. Everybody deals with death, sex, and money. So it's a show that you can interview people who are really famous and also people who listeners haven't heard before.
Jesse: That's like private stuff, Anna.
Sign up for CJR's daily email
Anna: I know. But it's stuff that it's nice to hear other people talk about.
Jesse: Before you started this show with WNYC, you were a reporter, right? What kind of reporter were you?
Anna: I covered all sorts of things for almost 10 years, just in public radio newsrooms. But mostly focused on politics and towards the end of my time, mostly political campaigns.
Jesse: When you talked to people in politics, did you ask them about things that were closer to what you do now?
Anna: Yeah I did. I mean I did it in two ways. In one way, covering elections is pretty much what I do now. Because when you're talking to voters, you are trying to get at what are the core, hot, emotional issues that are driving them to make decisions. So I had a lot of conversations with voters about whether they felt like they had enough money. How their politics changed because they were now a divorced woman in their 50s and had to send their kid to school. Actually my conversations with voters were a lot like what Death, Sex & Money has become. My conversations with the candidates were not because candidates are trained to not kind of go to vulnerable places. But I always tried. I remember covering the New York City mayoral election and talking to Bill de Blasio about how he felt comfortable basically using images of his kids in his political campaign, when he talked about how central his family was to his identity and his political identity, whether he thought he was putting them in some way possibly in harm's way by putting them up for public consumption. So those were the kinds of questions I found interesting as a political reporter as well.
TRENDING: 'Thank God the brain cancer waited for the Pulitzer'
A GOOD INTERVIEWER
Anna: One of the really important traits of an interviewer is to communicate to the person you're asking questions of that you are sincerely curious and there's a reason you're asking them these questions. Because your interview is only going to be as good as the person's willingness to participate. I sort of think of it as you're kind of creating this together. You know with the start of every Death, Sex & Money interview I say, "You know this is what the name of the show is, but this is why we explore these topics. It's because these are things that everybody goes through but also can feel the most isolated around. So I'm going to ask you about these things, but it's not just to be provocative. I'm looking for places of resonance." And so I explain that at the beginning, and I think that does help make the person I'm talking to feel more comfortable opening up. Because it's in service of something, it's not just me poking and trying to expose. It's more about exploring something together.
Jesse: Do people believe you when you say that?
Anna: I think so. I also say, "And if there's something I ask you that you don't want to talk about, you can say that." And so, I think by giving permission to sort of not take away all their power, it feels more comfortable. And I will say my producers and I take it really seriously that we're going to treat these interviews with respect, and we're not going to then have sort of tabloidy headlines. Like, we try to be sensitive to the stories that we're telling.
Jesse: Because you're asking about such a particular thing and something that often people are uncomfortable asking about, do you know what's coming? And to what extent are you really flying blind?
Anna: Well I think it's more flying blind when we're talking to somebody who's well known, because most often when those interviews get scheduled, none of my producers have an opportunity to talk to the person ahead of time. When I get into a room and I'm beginning the conversation and talking about what the show is and the kinds of things I want to talk about, that's our first interaction. I can go in with the plan and the things that I want to explore. But I really have no idea how game someone who's famous is going to be. And sometimes it's incredibly surprising and satisfying what they have to say, and the interviews can go places I never expected. But I would say with people who aren't famous, producers on the show get to talk to [them] ahead of time and get a sense of this story. So, there's a little bit less of a question of, "What are we going to be allowed to talk about?" But still, I think the most interesting interviews preserve that sense of spontaneity and don't have that rehearsed feeling. So I try not to talk to anybody ahead of time before we're rolling because I like the freshness of that interaction.
GO-TO QUESTIONS
Jesse: Do you have arrows in your quiver when you're talking to someone? Like, if you run out of juice.
Anna: I mean that's where the premise of Death, Sex & Money is really helpful because I can come back to, "And as I told you, the name of the show is Death, Sex & Money, so I'm going to ask you about death, I'm going to ask you about sex, and I going to ask you about money." And then I will ask big, broad questions about if there's someone in your life that's died that's left you with regrets. I ask about what sex is like at this point in their life if they're in their 50s or if they're in their 20s. I ask if they're making more money this year than last year. And those are sort of just simple questions. But because the premise of the show kind of gives me permission to ask these questions that you probably wouldn't ask in another interview, they can open up new avenues. We don't always use the answers to those questions, but sometimes it's really interesting. I asked Dan Savage about money, and he went on and on about how that was the single biggest point of tension in his marriage. Because he doesn't like to spend money and his husband does. And it was just interesting to me because that's not often what I hear Dan Savage talking about. I hear him talking about how to negotiate your sex life with your partner. To hear him talk about how to negotiate online spending with your partner was new.
Jesse: You give people the opportunity to say to you, "Oh, I would rather not talk about that." Do you also give them the opportunity to say, "I would rather you did not run that?"
Anna: That's a hard thing. Because I come from journalism and I come from where if you say something on the record, it's on the record and that's that. But it's because these are very personal conversations where someone might start talking about something they didn't anticipate talking about. You know I do try to be sensitive about that. One example is we were doing a series of interviews at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Brooklyn and talking to people who walked through the door, people who volunteered there, people who were patients. And I was talking to one woman who was a volunteer and started the conversation talking about the political reasons why she was a supporter of Planned Parenthood. As we continued talking, she started talking about the abortion that she'd had.
It's not something that she talked about or really shared with even people she was activists with. And so at the end of that conversation I said, "You gave me your full name at the beginning of this conversation. I don't know if you knew you were going to go there. How do you feel about using your full name?" And we just had a conversation over the next few weeks as we were getting the episode ready. She knew what was going to be in it, and she ended up choosing to use her full name and felt comfortable with that. But I felt like it was the right thing to do, to just loop back around and make sure. In the case of a famous person when that's come up, it's often not the famous person who has complaints, it's the publicist who gets worried if their famous person said something provocative. And in those cases, we can usually justify how we're using their tape and saying, "We're doing this. We're going to include that tape. But we're doing it in this way and so it's not going to come off in the way that I think you fear." And we have that follow-up conversation. But we do try to be sensitive because when you're asking people to come in and talk about death, sex, and money, it's very private stuff. It's stuff that affects other relationships sometimes,so we do try to be really sensitive to that.
ICYMI: Two dozen freelance journalists told CJR the best outlets to pitch
THE TENSION OF INTERVIEWS
Anna: You have two objectives that are in tension with one another. You have to forge a relationship and make the person you're talking to feel safe and make them feel like you're not some hack who's just asking for them to repeat the story they've told 16 times or ask them to talk about the thing they've said 16 times they don't want to talk about. You have to take care with that dynamic, but you also have to serve your listeners. So if you listen to an interview with Paul Reubens, there was a critical juncture in his career. To skip over it or to act like it didn't happen or to not ask the question or acknowledge it all in an interview might make the listeners feel like you dodged the hard question. I think that's the hardest part in structuring interviews and interview questions is how do you both: protect the relationship with the person that you're talking to and make sure you're not wimping out and you're serving the audience.
GETTING THE RIGHT TAPE
Jesse: Are there other things that you learned to do when you were interviewing a city council person or talking to some scientist about water safety that helped you do the kind of emotional narrative reporting that you do now?
Anna: When you're covering a straight news story, what you're trying to get—and particularly for radio—is someone to answer a question to you in plain language that feels sincere and that feels like it's answering the question you have. When you're a roving reporter on deadline, you've got to figure out how to have those interactions within three minutes, so you can get your tape, get back on the subway, and file before deadline. So you have to figure out, "What's my first question? What's my second question? What's my third question? What's the follow up if they don't answer it in this way?" It's intense listening, and it's planning and figuring out, "What's the tape that I'm trying to get here?" When I sit down to do a Death, Sex & Money interview, it's the same feeling. It's like I'm going into a chamber of intense concentration where you do the prep, you write out your list of questions that you think you're going to ask. But then once you're in that interaction it's like being there in that moment and listening carefully and hearing the tape that you're collecting and making sure it's going somewhere. I think that, being a reporter, it was important for just figuring out how to make sure you get the tape that you set out to get, to answer the questions that your listeners are going to have.
Jesse: What do you do to prepare for an interview? Like what time do you spend and how do you spend it and what do you bring into the room?
Anna: If the person is a well-known person who's done a lot of interviews, I do a deep dive, with the help of awesome producers who will put together preps and pull together profiles and radio interviews. I will listen to what they've done before, so that when I'm in the interview, if I hear them going to a place where they're retelling a story that they've told before, I'll try to kind of interject to mix it up a little bit. I try to understand someone's body of work. I try to understand the critical moments of transition. Whether it's when they move from place to place, or when they got married, or when they had kids, or when they decided to leave the band and go solo, et cetera. I like to have that on a timeline, like on one piece of paper, so that I can have that in the room with me and be able to look at it and say, "So when you were 30, this happened in—" or something like that. Just to place it in time, and it helps me understand, "OK if this big thing happened when they were in their mid-20s, it probably was a different emotional experience than if it happened in their mid-50s," for example. I will go in with a timeline, and then I'll have like, two pages of questions, so that they can both be face up to me. So I'm not rifling around with papers during the conversation. I actually don't often look down at the list of questions that I bring in. It's more the practice of writing them out and figuring out the beginning, middle, and end. What are the moments and interesting dynamics that we want to make sure we get to? I have a conversation with our producers ahead of time, and we all sit and we say, "What are we wondering about this person?" So we'll have a list of questions, we'll add different questions, and then I'll sit with that before I go into the studio. That's sort of a guide, but I'm not often reading questions.
A GOOD JOB
Jesse: What is your objective? Like, when you step out of the booth, or wherever you're conducting the interview, how do you judge whether you've done a good job or whether this one has worked out?
Anna: Sometimes I can't tell. Sometimes I'll walk out and I'll think, "God. They just didn't play ball, and that was terrible." Then I go back and listen to the tape, and the moments where I was feeling frustrated as an interviewer actually are very revealing. That was the case when I interviewed Bill Withers. And I know you've interviewed him, too. But he has this way of not going somewhere that he doesn't feel like going.
I remember coming out of that feeling like, "Oh God. I don't know. There were so many moments when I just asked him a question he just dismissed it as a dumb way to ask a question." But then the tape itself, showing those moments where he was kind of batting me around, was so revealing about his character and his personality. I realized listening deeper that it was just a string of pearls strung together because of the way he's such a gifted communicator.
INTERVIEW HEROES
Jesse: So, who are your interview heroes?
Anna: I mean my first interview hero, always, has been Terry Gross. I mean that's how I fell in love with radio, and that's who I realized I was jealous of when I was a year out of college and knew I needed to quit my nonprofit job because I wasn't doing what I wanted to do. And what I wanted to do was do what Terry Gross got to do. She's my always and forever hero. I mean, you know, sentimental. It's like laying in the back of the seat of the car with my parents listening to public radio. She taught me about pop culture and art and also how to be respectful about someone's craft and also try to understand the personal dimension of it.
Jesse: What is the thing that you feel the least confident about, and maybe the least comfortable asking a colleague about, that you would like to know about how to do interviews?
Anna: I think what I feel the most anxiety about is becoming a cliche of yourself. I have a style in how I interact with people, whether it's at a dinner party or in an interview, when I'm trying to make them feel comfortable or when I'm thinking [about] asking a probing question and then a follow-up question. The way that I will sort of audibly respond, like, the way I'll say "uh huh" or the way I'll laugh. There are certain ways that, as an interviewer, who you are is just the way that you sound on tape and the way that your show therefore sounds. And so I worry about that becoming so predictable and not an exciting experience for listeners. There's so much in so many places to go to listen to interesting things. Like, how do you keep evolving as a journalist, and as an interviewer and as a storyteller, and the things that you think about, and the kinds of stories you tell? How do you keep mixing that up? Because in the midst of when you're trying to keep putting out episodes—that's a real pressure. So how do you keep finding and pushing yourself to take risks and to do new kinds of things? Because as you get better as an interviewer, you also get more predictable.

Noted Bollywood actor Vidya Balan was roped in by the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation as brand ambassador to spread awareness about sanitation and cleanliness in the country. Talking to the media after meeting Balan here, Union Rural Development Minister Shri Jairam Ramesh said she will appear in ad campaigns to propagate construction and use of toilets. The Minister informed that Balan is the first brand ambassador of the Ministry. According to UNICEF-WHO Joint Monitoring Programme Report 2010, nearly 60 per cent of India's 1.1 billion people still practice open defecation and close to 58% of all open defecations in the World is in India. Shri Ramesh said that Vidya's involvement will make the campaign to end open defecation a national obsession. The key areas of intervention on sanitation that may be focused upon are- propogating construction and use of toilets by all, habits of hand washing, personal hygiene and managing waste.
Talking to reporters, Vidya Balan said that this role will work a lot because they are working on a national movement. She said that it is a matter of great honour for her to become the brand ambassador of sanitation campaign and added that it needs to become a national obsession. She has agreed to give her time for the campaign for two years and will be fully involved in the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan--the restructured version of the Total Sanitation Campaign. It may be recalled that India loses 54 billion US dollars that is about 24,000 crore rupees a year due to poor sanitation and hygiene.
