This is an app I designed for the spectacular, up and coming fashion designer Katie Gallagher to showcase her work for the 2016 season.
The approach... The simpler the better. The design needed to be sleek. An extension of Katie's work. It needed to put her work front and center. An enveloping presentation of her aesthetic.
The app was created for tablet only as we determined smaller devices would feel as though the design were forced to fit. All branding, UX, visual design and photo retouching was done by yours truly.

SD Foundation Awards Record $3.5M in Scholarships to Local College Students
by Debbie L. Sklar August 4, 2022 August 4, 2022
The San Diego Foundation offices in Liberty Station.
San Diego Foundation awarded $3.5 million in scholarships to 983 local college students at its annual Community Scholarships Program awards ceremony on July 30. Scholarship recipients, their loved ones, and San Diego Foundation donors and volunteers convened at the San Diego Zoo to celebrate another record-breaking year and honor the next generation of San Diego leaders.
The Community Scholarships Program helps foster equity of opportunity for San Diegans, a priority of the San Diego Foundation Strategic Plan. Investing in local students is one of the most advantageous ways to advance equity in the region and increase access and resources for San Diegans facing barriers to realizing full and healthy lives.
"Students of color from low-income communities face unique challenges and many do not have the support and access to resources or money they need to pursue a higher education," said Danielle Valenciano, director of Community Scholarships at San Diego Foundation. "These scholarships allow us to support college students directly, so they can spend less time working, incur less debt and dedicate themselves to focus on what matters most – obtaining their degree."
Historically, Black, Latinx, and low-income students continue to be underrepresented in higher education. Among the 2022 – 2023 scholarship recipients, 69% are first-generation college students or the first in their immediate families to pursue higher education, and 93% of students are considered low-income, according to their Earned Family Contribution data.
Applications were submitted by more than 16,000 local high school, community college, graduate, and adult re-entry students studying a variety of subjects, including science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); health sciences; business; and arts and education, among others. More than 50% of those who applied were affiliated with a college access and readiness program such as AVID, Reality Changers, and TRIO/Upward Bound.
"As a low-income student, affording college was something that was always on my mind," said Meliya Russom, scholarship recipient, and incoming freshman at the University of California Los Angeles. "Early on in high school, I promised myself that I wouldn't have my parents carry the financial burden of paying for my education, and the San Diego Foundation has helped me keep this promise."
The Community Scholarships Program is made possible through the generous support of 146 unique charitable scholarship funds at San Diego Foundation established by local donors. As the largest scholarship program in the region, outside of the university system, San Diego Foundation has awarded $40 million to more than 10,000 college students since 1997.

With the previous Samsung's Galaxy Series phones, Samsung presented a move in smartphone outline that finished vast a year ago. A major bezel was out, to be supplanted by a bigger screen that pushed appropriate to the edges. It was a truly necessary change in a market where smartphones had begun to feel somewhat stale. The Galaxy S9 & S9 Plus along with Samsung Note 8, holds this well-known big screen look that makes it one of slickest phones around in 2019. The Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9 Plus features are amazing and see the bezel thickness above and underneath the display diminish further. There's not much difference between the Samsung Galaxy S9 features & Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus features, but S9 Plus features are bit enhanced! What's more, the unique fingerprint scanner of Samsung S9 that has been moved to a more appropriate location underneath the camera, as opposed to being tucked firmly next to it? Be that as it may, regardless it feels a bit on the little side but does its job perfectly.
Like the majority of Samsung's current leaders, the Samsung S9's & S9's Plus display attracts you quickly with its rich colors and awesome difference. Specification of Samsung S9 & S9 Plus display screen is as yet a 5.8-inch AMOLED quad-HD+ board for Samsung Galaxy S9, and 6.2-inch respectively for the S9 Plus variant. Despite the fact that little has changed besides a slight knock in brilliance, it's as yet outstanding amongst other smartphone display in the market. What awes most about the screen is the customization alternatives it offers. In its default 'Versatile' mode colors are soaked and rich, with an overwhelming blue tone – actually, discovering this marginally excessively. Change to DCI-P3 shading range covering 'AMOLED silver screen' mode and everything feels simpler on the eyes. It's even conceivable to redo the colors, lessening the measure of blue, green and red you see.The display technology of Samsung mobile phones offers to it's customers is remarkably un-matched by any other phone manufacturer.
The greatest territory of the proposed change for the Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9 Plus is to the camera. It's the main component of the Galaxy S9 Plus & S9 that really feels new and one of a kind. Rather than having a fixed focal point, the Samsung S9 & S9 Plus can move between f/2.4 and f/1.5, giving perfect image quality to both day and night photography. In the event that it's bright outside, it will shoot at f/2.4; when there's less light, the focal point will move and use f/1.5 to let in more light.
At the Samsung Galaxy S9's heart is Octa-core 4 x 2.7 GHz Kryo 385 Gold & 4x1.7 GHz Kryo 385 Silver - Whereas Samsung Galaxy S9's Plus heart is Octa-core (4x2.7 GHz Mongoose M3 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55) joined by 4GB of RAM for S9 and 6GB Ram for the S9 Plus Variant. You can pick between 64GB or 256GB of capacity, both expandable through microSD, and there's a 3000mAh battery inside that can be charged remotely or by means of the USB-C port. In order to get the best performance out from the Samsung S9 & S9 plus, use original Samsung mobile phone accessories which can be bought online in Pakistan from Daraz.

Object burning up or glancing off atmoshere sets a flame trail in sky.Im not saying this was a craft but unlike a meteorite it burnt up through the atmoshere or glanced off leaving a burning scorch mark through the atmoshere that took at least 2 minutes to disipate. No sound was heard it was too high but was moving many times faster than an aircraft and seemed to waver.Could be asteroid glancing off but very plain to see and several others spoke of it next day.I spend time watching meteors etc and this was by far the most amazing sighting nothing like a meteor i had seen before

Today we welcome a guest post from Venus Bivar, author of Organic Resistance: The Struggle over Industrial Farming in Postwar France, publishing this month from UNC Press.
Organic Resistance is now available in both print and ebook editions.
The racial politics of the organic model have in recent years come under scrutiny. Scholars and critics alike have argued that organic consumption goes hand in hand with white privilege. The average Whole-Foods shopper or farmers-market enthusiast tends to be white. In short, it takes money to be a foodie, and in the United States, wealth is a function of race.
With my own work, I make an important contribution to this discussion by highlighting how race fits into the conversation from a different perspective. Organic farming in France in the 1950s was not white, at least not entirely, because of class reasons. It was white because its practitioners were proponents of eugenics who believed in the purity and the superiority of the French race. This is of course a different genealogy of racism. But just as class was not unimportant in the early years of organic farming, the language of purity remains central to organic discourse in the twenty-first century.
Why should we care that the political origins of organic farming were marred by eugenics and fascism? The organic movement shifted squarely to the left in the 1970s and abandoned its right-wing racist roots. But it is not that simple. Most contemporary proponents of organic production do not align themselves with fascist antisemitism. But they do value purity. And this appeal to purity has in turn been vulnerable to appropriation by contemporary right-wing politics, not only in France, but across all of western Europe.
Henri-Charles Geffroy was a pioneer in the early organics movement in France. He was also a eugenicist and an anti-Semite. He regularly named as an influence the Nobel Prize winning surgeon Alexis Carrel, who had promoted eugenics while serving the fascist Vichy government. In 1948, Geffroy began a food co-op and named it La Vie Claire (Clear Life). Within a decade he had expanded the co-op to include several brick and mortar stores, and by 1965, his operation had grown to eighty stores nationwide.
Today, La Vie Claire is one of the largest health-food chains in France. Contemporary French shoppers might be shocked to learn that the store originally stocked not only organic brown bread, but also white-supremacist literature. Many on the extreme right had been barred from public media in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. As a neo-fascist himself, Geffroy provided them with an outlet, publishing their antisemitic and pro-eugenicist materials, and distributing them through his expanding network of health-food stores.
Why should we care that the political origins of organic farming were marred by eugenics and fascism? The organic movement shifted squarely to the left in the 1970s and abandoned its right-wing racist roots. But it is not that simple. Most contemporary proponents of organic production do not align themselves with fascist antisemitism. But they do value purity. Through the idiom of purification, organic supporters, both left and right, have been instrumental in cementing the connection between small producers, the rural landscape, and national identity. And this appeal to purity has in turn been vulnerable to appropriation by contemporary right-wing politics, not only in France, but across all of western Europe. As European xenophobia continues to rise in tandem with growing Muslim populations, more work needs to be done to understand the connections between the rural landscape, national identity, and racial purity.

If you've been on social media at any point in the past few months, there's a pretty high chance you'll have seen a post about how great Justin Trudeau is. Canada's 23rd Prime Minister has won a great deal of affection from British millennials for his good looks, support for equal rights and feminism and his sympathy toward Syrian refugees to name just a few. The overall perception is that Trudeau is a really great guy. However, once you look beyond "15 Times The Justin Trudeau Thirst Went Too Far" and "Here's Justin Trudeau Saying 'Yaaas' On A Loop For Eternity" as sources of information or the pictures of him hugging a refugee or cradling young animals, it becomes clear the hype surrounding him is not to be believed.
Indeed, his record in government so far has been poor. During his election campaign, Trudeau and the Liberal Party admitted they would run a budget deficit, but suggested they would be able to keep it to $10 billion per year. In March 2016, just six months into office, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced the budget deficit would in fact be $29 billion a year. Of course, excuses can be made – this catastrophic failure to meet a policy aim was only due to the low oil price, right?
Progressive values were again ignored in September, when Trudeau's administration approved the Pacific NorthWest LNG project in British Columbia, which will directly lead to 5.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. Not only will this clearly have bad environmental effects, it also compromises the rights of British Columbia's large indigenous population and ignores Canada's need to diversify its economy. This project only furthers the nation's strong focus on fossil fuel extraction as the basis of the economy, which is clearly unsustainable, and Trudeau's continuation of this does little to prove that he is in control of that issue.
For those charmed by promises surrounding refugees, it should be noted Trudeau did indeed manage his promise to take 25,000 Syrian refugees into the country, albeit three months behind schedule. However, whilst it is admirable to bring thousands of impoverished families into the country, Trudeau should also prove he is working to tackle the preexisting issue surrounding poverty in Canada. It may be a cynical view, but it certainly seems like this is another case of Trudeau's identity politics coming to the fore yet again: he would rather be seen as a charitable, generous man in the media than actually address key issues.
Finally, on his record on equal rights, it is true that Trudeau is a staunch supporter of gay marriage and labels himself a feminist, but even in this fi eld he is guilty of hypocrisy. After all, despite their awful human rights record, Saudi Arabia remains a trade partner of Canada, and the Liberals were accused of misleading the population earlier in the year by claiming they were unable to cancel the $12 billion arms deal between the countries in 2014.
Clearly, Justin Trudeau is not everything he is made out to be. Whilst it is hard to deny that he is an attractive man who may well hold good values close to his heart, his governmental record is the stuff of nightmares for any true Canadian progressives.

Unprotected movie
Unprotected movie. "Unprotected" documentary tells the story of Paul VI, the Pill, and sexual revolution 2019-05-14
Tuesday, May 14, 2019 8:47:12 AM Myles
Watch Witness Unprotected Online Free
I became interested in the sexual revolution when two of my daughters became teenagers. The more people use contraception in a society, the more abortion that society will have. Now, before we get into the fundamentals of how you can watch 'Witness Unprotected' right now, here are some finer points about the mystery flick. Johnson: All of the above! Johnson: As a filmmaker, I am a big believer in the power of storytelling to move people. For example, this film is filled with accounts of sex, lies, and conspiracies by large companies to make money off of the suffering of others.
When she wrote back, she explained that she had been left an inheritance and that every year she tried to make one donation to a worthy project. I was shocked at just how much toxic sludge they have to deal with every day, and how pervasive the sexual objectification of women is in our culture. So how to convey and convince people that it tells the truth about love, sex, and marriage? There may not be causation, but correlation seems obvious. However, as I dug into the topic, certain themes rose to the top and a plot line started to crystalize. Can you share an example of each? Don Johnson did something outside the box: he created a documentary film that chronicled his own path from rejection to acceptance. Thank you for your generosity! A few articles and blog posts.
You can host Unprotected at your parish or a local theater, and there are several great screening packages available from Ignatius Press at. All the basic ingredients of a Hollywood blockbuster. There is a demand for abortion to back up failed contraception. From that point, basically the entire film has been made that way—one stage at a time, with God providing what we need at just the right moment. You probably already know what the movie's about, but just in case.
Johnson: Ah, yes, the whole funding thing. I realized that not only was the Church right about this but that this truth was supremely good and beautiful. Then, if you are able, encourage your priest to either tell those stories during his homily, or allow his parishioners some time to tell their own stories. . The fact that the Catholic Church was the only one to stand strong on this—and turned out to be right—made me all the more convinced that I made the right call in becoming Catholic. Released 2018, 'Witness Unprotected' stars , , , Gianna DiDonato The movie has a runtime of about 1 hr 30 min, and received a score of out of 100 on Metacritic, which put together reviews from respected critics. The fact is that abortion and contraception go together historically, philosophically, and psychologically.
They gave me a fair bid on the work and explained that they only had a small window between projects and they would need to start the following Monday. Rather, the encyclical is getting at something essentially human, correct? Right in the middle of production, due to a variety of factors out of our control, my wife and I moved our family to a different state; obviously that was disruptive on many levels. How can we have this amazing truth, with its ability to set people free from all manner of dysfunction and sorrow, yet not teach it? Johnson: They sure seem to go together. God is good: This year she had decided to pay the entire bill for the motion graphics. The biggest hurdle on this film actually turned out to be more personal, though. It was only after I actually became familiar with the document—and the story around it—that everything changed.
And I do think it is something that most people can connect with. A smattering of conferences have been held to commemorate it here and there. Was the teaching of Humanae Vitae an obstacle to you as you started investigating what the Church really teaches? One way might just be to be very open about telling your story, both to your priest or anyone else who will listen. The teaching of Humanae Vitae just turned 50. Thankfully, it turned out to be a really interesting one that fit naturally into a classic movie outline. It also contains a third act in which a hero rides in from some obscure outpost of a falling kingdom to save the day. She takes any job, even the dangerous ones, to keep the paychecks coming.
How to Copy an Unprotected DVD
Need to watch '' in the comfort of your own home? While vigorous debate is welcome and encouraged, please note that in the interest of maintaining a civilized and helpful level of discussion, comments containing obscene language or personal attacks—or those that are deemed by the editors to be needlessly combative or inflammatory—will not be published. As I try to show in the movie, the debate over contraception is really about the meaning of sex and the meaning of love, and that discussion is ultimately about the meaning of life. As Christopher West explains so eloquently in the film, the logic of this is quite simple. Call them bombs versus blessings. How did you narrow down that morass of information into a story thread the viewer could follow? More importantly, how people can get the documentary into the hands of as many hearts and mind as possible? He has opened one door after another, using individual donors and investors, connectors, and the wonderful people at Ignatius Press to make it happen. Hesitantly, I told her that our main need at the moment was to get the graphics paid for. Tell me about the audience responses so far.
She had heard about the movie and wondered if there was anything she could do to help. Personally, I find the group screenings the premiere way to watch the film. If you value the news and views Catholic World Report provides, to support our efforts. We've listed a number of streaming and cable services - including rental, purchase, and subscription options - along with the availability of 'Witness Unprotected' on each platform. Simply telling the story also allows the audience to more freely connect with its various aspects.
Johnson: We are debuting Unprotected in multiple stage releases, and the more people involved at each stage, the better. But the beauty of this story is that it is all true, and I was thrilled when I realized how nicely it all fit together. That seemed especially true in this case, perhaps because of the subject matter. That is why, historically, the most ardent supporters of contraception such as Margaret Sanger and Betty Friedan, are also the most vocal proponents of abortion. One of the benefits of just telling the story without preaching is that it opens it up to a whole new audience, so I am particularly grateful for that. Not much in the way of media attention.

Good news. Who is assistant going to be?
Reasonably happy tbh. I take it Cowie won't be moving just to be no 2 then?
Is Scott Kellagher out of the management team now?

Very pleased with this appointment which also brings a bit of continuity - he knows the squad , what we have and what we need. Scott kellacher is still the assistant as far as I know.
Retired 131
Happy with that.
Safe appointment for both parties who know what each other is about.
Let's get behind him and look forward to 21/22 season.
Start singing - Billy Dodds, Billy Dodds, Billy Billy Dodds, he gets the ball and he scores a goal, Billy Billy Dodds 😀
Good news. Now he can get on with beefing up the squad for next season. Good luck and welcome Billy.

Agreed but bringing Booby Mann back would be ambitious!
Billy at least has had an induction into the Club and as Assistant at some good clubs should be a wise choice. However, football management is not easy and in the current climate the supporters will need to be patient.

This seems like a decent move especially because of his involvement towards the end of the season, which saw a much more confident and effective team switch from looking over their shoulders at a relegation battle to narrowly missing out on the play-offs
Just need to find a couple or three players now to turn us from play-off favourites to proper candidates for automatic promotion. It'll be interesting to see if Kilmarnock can recover quickly from the shock of relegation and whether Partick Thistle will do a Raith Rovers or better next season (and can Raith repeat their form for a 2nd season)
Just realised that most of our managers are ex international footballers. Baltacha, Robbo, Butcher, McCann and now Dodds, whilst Foran was an U21 international. You've also got Brewster who many thought should have been capped, but was out of sight out of mind when at his peak in Greece, and later it was his play that got Stevie Crawford his caps when they were a partnership at Dunfermline.
I was not previously a big fan, quite the contrary.
However, he seemed to do a very good job when he joined Neil McCann and, had he arrived earlier I suspect that we would have made the play offs.
He has a good contact book, is well integrated and respected within the wider Scottish football industry and now has some knowledge of the club and how it works.
All in all a good appointment and shows some ambition on the part of the club. It will be interesting to see whether his assistant is new to the club or promoted from our existing coaching staff
Whichever, time to get behind the new man and for everyone from the chairman down to us humble fans to concentrate on making the new season our best for over half a decade.
He is Head Coach, not Manager. It's usually the case that the Director of Football identifies and makes signings (and releases players), whilst the Head Coach is responsible for the day-to-day running of the team. As we know, this often leads to tension, especially when the roles and responsibilities have not been clear-cut, or when one person wants to have more participation in the other's activities, or, simply, when the two people disagree.
So I hope that Robbo and Dodds can find a productive and interactive working relationship, and I look forward to seeing what happens next season.
Happy with this. Like others, I was not necessarily a huge fan prior to him helping us out last season, but things took a turn for the better when he did come in and whether it was his impetus, the results of McCann's coaching starting to take effect, or some combination of the two, we finished the season a lot stronger than we had been the previous few months. Now its time for the real work to begin .....

I agree. This is not a structure we have had at the club before but it works well for other teams.
The important thing is that each party knows in advance what the role of the other is and respects those demarcation so that no tension and resentment arises from the perception, justified or otherwise, that one is intruding on the territory of the other.
Best to have these things crystal clear, in writing if necessary, from the outset.
Well, I'll just have to be the one to say I am disappointed at him getting the job. I don't believe he has the required skills, yet, and, for me, he's a poor analyst on TV. Hope I am wrong and will support him but still think this is a risky appointment.
Positives - there was definitely an uptick in form when Dodds came on board towards the end of last season and the players poke highly of him during his time working with them. The club must have liked what they saw during his brief spell as a coach. At least it's more "progressive" than going for some of the donkeys on the list including some former managers that were being banded about.
Negatives - it seems like an appointment of convenience what with him living locally and being available for buttons and I just wonder how much that factors into our decision making at times. As a coach yes everything sounds good but as a manager I am less sure.
He'll have a good bit of work to do in the transfer market over the summer and he only has a few weeks to get things ready before the League Cup group stages kick off. I guess Robbo will still largely handle player recruitment?
In happy with the appointment, which gives us some continuity. Hopefully he can build on the positive impact he seemed to have towards the end of the season.
It would be good to understand exactly what Robbo's role as Sporting Director is, and how it relates to the Head Coach role as I'm sure I read they both report to the CEO.
Whoever is in charge of contracts and recruitment, hopefully we now get progress with the likes of Toddy.

Not sure it is his fault that the club have not been sufficiently informative about player departures.
Didnt see the interview but if he is giving the fans information about something we didnt know then, on balance, I see that as a positive thing.

Excellent choice and feel very optimistic about the future of the club. A big challenge to get out of the championship. Looking forward to getting back to games and pushing the team on. 😁

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly closing in on returning to Real Madrid to replace Santiago Solari.
According to Goal, however, the Portuguese tactician is only expected to take charge of the side until the end of the season, when the club hope they could then hire Zinedine Zidane for a second time.
Mourinho was previously at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, and won the La Liga title during his time at the Bernabeu.
His first spell ended badly, however, as have his subsequent jobs with Chelsea and Manchester United.
Hiring Mourinho again looks a bit of a risk for Madrid, though at this stage things have got so bad under Solari that they don't have much to lose.
It's been all downhill for Los Blancos since Zidane left the club at the end of last season, so they'll hope an experienced name like Mourinho can come in and steady the ship between now and May.
Goal claim that Real would then hope to persuade Zidane to come back in the summer, in what would be quite a shock development as he clearly went out on such a high last time.
Jose Mourinho heading back to Real Madrid?
Zinedine Zidane to follow on from Jose Mourinho in the summer?
The sale of Cristiano Ronaldo has not helped matters at Madrid, so it remains to be seen if their former boss would really want to take on what would now be a much harder job in the Spanish capital.
Goal's report also lists Germany manager Joachim Low as a contender for the job, with the club clearly in need of a change after this disastrous campaign that culminated in their Champions League elimination at the hands of Ajax this week.

On Tuesday, November 27th, 2018 we will give 20% of our sales to The Daniel R. Sayre Memorial Foundation in celebration of #GivingTuesday. The foundation provides essential equipment and training to the Hawaii Island Fire Department who serves the Hawaii community. #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Shop online or in our Kailua-Kona café to give.
In late August 1997, Daniel Sayre set off for the 500-foot Kapaloa Falls in the back of Pololu Valley on the rugged north shore of the Big Island.
The 25-year-old wanted photos of his "cathedral" to take with him back to college on the mainland. But that all changed in an instant when he fell off the trail, plummeting hundreds of feet onto a rocky ledge near the falls.
He was lying there motionless when a rescue team from the Hawaii County Fire Department joined his parents in the search. After 10 hours of trying to reach him through the dense forest and steep cliff walls via helicopter, the mission was called off. But Frank Sayre and Laura Mallery-Sayre refused to leave a nearby lookout without knowing if their son was dead or possibly just unconscious.

Triumph Foods Planning on Expansion
5 September 2008, at 12:19pm
US - Officials of Triumph Foods say that pork export sales have been successful and as a result of this, the company is able to come up with expansion plans.
The St. Joseph, Mo., processing facility is the site of the planned growth, that would add nearly 10,000 square feet to the plant.
The company reports that export sales already have fueled $15 million worth of growth at the plant, including expanded equilibration bays, new CO2 stunning equipment and a new freezer facility.
Triumph is now pursuing a $4 million expansion that would allow for the production of sliced pork bellies and diced pork-- both are products of high demand in Asia. Patt Lilly, Triumph's, chief administrative officer, told the St. Joseph newspaper, that construction hasn't begun but should be completed by the end of the year.
According to Pork Magazine, the driver behind the expansion plan is a 43 percent increase in fresh pork exports to countries such as China, Russia and Japan during the first half of 2008.
"With the expansion and the new investment comes new jobs," Lilly says. "Triumph Foods has added over 200 jobs in the past year as we continue to expand processing capacity." Triumph now employs some 2,500 workers and processes 18,000 to 19,000 hogs daily.

Pompeo Says If China Wants to Rise, It Should Do So Based on 'Western Rules Set'

https://sputniknews.com/world/202006191079666590-pompeo-says-if-china-wants-to-rise-it-should-do-so-based-on-western-rules-set/
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that if China wants to rise, it should do so based on a Western set of rules.
"I hope - because my objective isn't bad things for the Chinese people - I hope that the Chinese Communist party will begin to recognise that if they want to rise, if they want to continue to build out to their nation that they need to do so on a western rules set, a rules set that honours the rule of law and honours freedom and respect for sovereignty", Pompeo said.
The Secretary of State said Beijing has singled out and threatened to single out countries not just in Europe, but also in the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia and pull them closer to China.
"What I have begun to see is over my two-and-a-half years as a Secretary of State is the world awakening to this threat", Pompeo said, adding that the threat is talked about privately by various countries.
Pompeo noted that the United States is doing its best in each case to provide the type of assistance that makes the most sense.
"We need to raise this to another level, to where countries are prepared and in position to respond to these things in a public way. When we do that the Chinese Communist Party will be more isolated", Pompeo said.
Earlier on Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said that Trump's potential policy option to completely decouple from China was unrealistic in the context of globalisation and would not solve the problems the United States faces.
On 18 June, US President Donald Trump said the United States has maintained the policy option of a complete decoupling from China. The comment came a day after US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in congressional testimony that he does not believe decoupling the two economies was an option at this point.

Q: Proving the uniform convergence of $f_n$ I need to show that $f_n(x) = \frac{\ln(1+nx)}{n+x}$ converges uniformly on $X = [0,10]$.
I have tried proving by Cauchy criterion, as well as from the definition (where limit function is $f =0$), but no results so far.

A: Hint. Let $R>0$. Then for $x\in [0,R]$ and for $n\geq 1$,
$$0\leq \frac{\ln(1+nx)}{n+x}\leq \frac{\ln(1+nR)}{n}.$$
What may we conclude as $n$ goes to infinity?
P.S. Actually, the convergence is uniform in $[0,+\infty)$. Since $\ln(1+nx)$ is concave, its graph stays under the tangent line at $x=n$:
$$\ln(1+nx)\le \ln(1+n^2)+\frac{n(x-n)}{1+n^2}.$$
Therefore, for $x\geq 0$,
$$0\leq \frac{\ln(1+nx)}{n+x}\leq \frac{\ln(1+n^2)}{n+x}+\frac{n}{1+n^2}\cdot \frac{x-n}{n+x}\leq \frac{\ln(1+n^2)}{n}+\frac{n}{1+n^2}.$$

Q: How to use a html page in here which seems to be bootstrap Laravel In here the "Welcome to Webshooter"-part https://imgur.com/IL4Hyg4

Webshooter is a tool that facilitates the management of competitions for your association and you as a member.

Our experience says that there are a few tools that are suitable for complete management of competitions, registered participants and result lists. Although local installations, spreadsheets of various formats and foreign web solutions satisfy basic needs, we are convinced that a common portal is the right solution.

Webshooter development takes place on an ongoing basis in the order in which users request functions. No matter what you have on your mind that you want to share with us or that you are wondering about, we would like you to get in touch. We answer all questions and concerns that come to us!

We warmly welcome you!

It seems to be some sort of bootstrap-code.
Now, I want to replace this with a HTML-page showing a map but how to do that?
I want to keep the menu-bar to be able to chose from.

Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos (14 September 1877 – 3 April 1962), better known as S. H. de Roos, was a Dutch type designer, book cover designer and artist.

Life and work

De Roos was born in Drachten to a cobbler, but moved to Amsterdam at an early age. It was here that, between the ages of twelve and fourteen, he trained to be a lithographer. Later he studied at the Teekenschool voor Kunstambachten (The School of Drawing for the Arts and Crafts), part of the Rijksakademie.

In his early years De Roos was inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement. An example of this can be found in his edition of Kunst en Maatschappij (Art and Society (1903)). As a supporter of Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis, De Roos attempted to create the ideal of 'Art to the People'.

Between 1907 and 1941 he was employed by the Amsterdam Type foundry (known previously as N. Tetterode), where he further developed his lithographic skills. During this period he designed, a new type face, the Hollandsche Mediæval, the first Dutch made typeface for 150 years. In total De Roos designed twelve type faces, the most successful being the Hollandsche mediæval, the Egmont, the Libra and the De Roos Roman and Italic.

Archive material, as well as the Tetterode Collection both attributed to De Roos, are available at the Library of the University of Amsterdam. Further archives are available at the City Library of Haarlem, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem and the Museum Smallingerland in Drachten.

LA County Might Need to Call Snake Plissken, if Alex Villanueva Is Defeated in 2022
By Jim Thompson | Dec 10, 2021 8:30 AM ET
AP Photo/Richard Vogel, File
The Sheriff of Los Angeles County is Alex Villanueva. He's everything you'd want in a Sheriff. Honest and forthright, he speaks his mind and catches crooks. Born in Chicago, but growing up in Puerto Rico, he learned Spanish and read books while walking to school. He joined the Air Force and joined the LA County Sheriff's office, working his way up the ranks, eventually winning the 2018 election for Sheriff. By doing so, he became the first person to unseat a sitting Sheriff in 104 years. And he has a doctorate. Unlike Jill Biden, no one calls him "Doctor."
In 2018, the department was still tainted by the stain of Lee Baca. Baca was serving time for covering up for criminal deputies in the department when Villanueva ran for the position of Sheriff. In 2018 Villanueva unseated a Baca holdover and cleaned house the first day he took office. He removed a captain from his post and transferred deputies out of the East Los Angeles Station — literally cleaned up a dirty house that was home to three dozen deputies suspected of being less than honest, or suspected of acting like thugs on the streets.
He implemented body-cams for his deputies when every other preceding Sheriff refused.
Although he's a Democrat, he's not a toady for the Democrat power machine. And, in doing so, he rubbed powerful people the wrong way. When the LA County Board of Supervisors demanded that he implement a mask mandate, he refused.
The State's Attorney General (at the time Xavier Becerra) launched an investigation earlier this year, claiming "discrimination" and police brutality. It was a message to Villanueva: "Stay in your lane." The investigation was launched with DOJ cooperation and appears to be targeted not at the department but the Sheriff. In any event, these investigations are intended to force consent decrees and ultimately to hollow out policing.
If you need more evidence that Villanueva is "over the target" and doing the right thing, he's criticized LA County's District Attorney George Gascón as "godawful." Gascón is awful — no, godawful. His election was funded by Soros' money, and he happily proclaimed that he would not prosecute a number of crimes. Saying Gascón is soft on crime is like calling water wet. In LA, homicides skyrocketed. They are up 46% from 2019. Car thefts are up 53%. You've seen the videos – armed criminals are brandishing handguns and robbing people sitting at restaurant tables. Although smash and grabs are rampant LA, according to galaxy-brain AOC, they aren't real
What has Gascón said about Villanueva? Gascón called him a pig.
Sheriff Villanueva is too honest a voice, and too good a man to be left in office. He has a rival. The Chief of Police for Los Angeles International Airport is Cecil Rhambo. Rhambo is a former Sheriff deputy and that pretty much sums up his resume. His claim to fame is that he testified against Lee Baca. Not much of a resume builder since Baca was clearly covering up for criminals.
Rhambo has already tied down several endorsements. None of them are grassroots — rather, the rich and powerful want him to be Sheriff. Democrats in LA and Sacramento are rallying to Rhambo. He's starting to smell like a Soros plant. He has little that qualifies him to lead the most populous county in California. In a recent photoshoot, Rhambo is seen looking into the clear blue sky like he's watching planes land at LAX. Every time I think of cops at airports I picture the bumblers in Die Hard II.
The more I read, the more I'm convinced Rhambo isn't an action hero, rather he's a Soros-backed, inaction plant.
On Twitter, he had some illustrative things to say — not about what he's applying for (like policing and crimes), but what he thinks is really important. Talking points his puppetmasters at Soros' "Democracy PAC" think are really important.
"I am pro-democracy, and believe we must do everything possible to protect and expand voting rights. We must also hold those who engaged in the January 6th insurrection accountable"
Beyond the silly platitudes about things that have nothing to do with the job of Sheriff, he calls the January 6th Capitol riot an "insurrection." Federal prosecutors literally charging a clown who videoed himself saying:
"I don't always storm the Capitol of the United States of America, but when I do, I prefer Coors Light."
Coors Light Dude is an "insurrectionist" but smash and grab thugs will be back on the street in hours.
He then wrote:
"I believe that climate change is real, poses an urgent, existential threat, and we must act now to address it."
Now? As in, TODAY, or when Al Gore proclaimed 20 years ago that we had to act "now" to address — at the time — global warming.
And what does climate change have to do with being a Sheriff? Nothing, but it's a favorite of George Soros.
Finally, he wrote:
I believe in reproductive freedom and am 100% pro-choice.
100%? Choices like mask-wearing, or no vaccines for 5-year-olds? Nah he means a woman can abort at 8 months 3 weeks because he's 100% pro-choice.
Los Angeles County already has one Soros-backed nut-bag heading the Office of District Attorney. Crime is skyrocketing. I sure hope Rhambo isn't heading the LA Sheriff's Department in 2022. Might as well wall off LA and call in Snake Plissken.

At NextProto, we are very good at producing the best quality plastic injection molded parts and rapid tooling/mold tools. Our customer always requests the fastest delivery on plastic injection moldings so we make really quick turnaround proto molds for short term pre-series production. Once you design a part, and we have made the good quality rapid prototypes for you, then you would like to try out our rapid tooling and proto mold services without choosing another new supplier. This is the best way to save cost and money!
Various plastic resins can be chosen from NextProto. Our rapid tools can produce 50 to 50,000 + finished parts no matter how small or big the quantity is. Sometimes, our robotics and automotive clients only want a few 2K mold parts done using our fast proto tooling service.
The mold can be made from aluminum 7075 or P20 steel with SPI B1 to SPI A2 surface finish. Textures can be defined by VDI 3400 or Mold-Tech etc. If your part is optical standard and must be crystal clear/transparent, we will offer you SPI A3 to SPI A1 finish using NAK80 steel.
Rapid tooling fills the gap between rapid prototyping and full production tooling. NextProto offers a quick turnaround service on P20 steel injection molds. We use a Master Unit Die which quality molds can be produced with a very short lead-time at a very competitive price. Our team can give DFM advice before production.
data and drawings to providing you a quotation, this will only take 24-48 hours. After you confirm the order, you will get the DFM from our engineer for approval. Once the DFM is completed and the mold layout is agreed, including position and type of gate, ejector pins position and parting line position, we will start to make an injection mold for moldings.
after you see the first off samples and we would do the mold modifications accordingly.
Before "cutting the steel", we would need to have an agreement on the DFM. DFM is short for Design for Manufacturing. It is a normal tool to confirm all the details for Plastic Injection Molded Parts or Pressure Die Casted Parts. This will include information about basic details such as material resin, steel, mold type, cavity numbers, shrinkage rate, tolerances, inserts, parting lines, injection gate, ejector pins position, wall thickness analysis etc.
NextProto provides free of charge DFM for every customers once order is placed. Sometimes, we will offer you the basic DFM in the quotation stage to help you modify the 3D CAD models.
the parts as per your specification. We can also provide 2 shot parts and over molded parts. We pride ourselves on our excellent communication and customer service.
DFM (Design For Manufacture) is an essential part of the product development cycle. This process is always best carried out at the design/prototype stage, in order to keep overall product manufacturing cost to a minimum.
We will do this for all rapid injection tooling projects and make sure all your parts suit for injection molding process.


Has Facebook gone too far? In barring incentives to get a "like" has it yet again acted in self-interest to force companies to promote posts in the guise of stopping malpractice on the site?
If you'll pardon the pun, nobody likes Facebook apps that force you to "like" them before you can see the content they are offering and nobody likes giving a publisher or brand access to their news feed and their friends' details.
The irony of liking a brand before you've actually had a chance to see what they have to say is up there with those Web sites that ask you to review them the second they appear on your screen -- how would you know yet if you "like" them?
So, getting rid of likes that are forced on users is great. So too is railing against people who try to build huge audiences with pictures that are often fake, asking people to "like" if you want some kids to go to Disney or you think something that is clearly wrong is actually wrong. These encouragements to click on a picture to say it's wrong to starve pets or we hope you get to a million likes so you get a dream trip are clearly annoying, and usually just there to get a huge audience for the page owner. Same with the whole "terrible things will happen" if you don't like and share this post, the last person who didn't got killed in a car crash, and so on.
All these spammy ways of getting likes should be consigned to history. They simply get in the way and clutter up news feeds from friends who are unwise to unscrupulous marketing tactics.
What about responsible brands? Those that are trying to do what they thought Facebook was there for -- build an audience you can communicate with for free. Well, we all know what has happened to organic reach -- but still, brands are obviously keen to raise their potential organic audience with encouragements to like a page.
If you own a business, what better way of growing your fan base than offering a prize for those who like and share a post on your page? It may seem a little obvious if done too frequently but a bar giving away a meal or a hotel giving a spa day seems like as a good a way as any to gain new followers. And if you want a call to action, and why wouldn't you, asking people to like if they agree with what you're saying in a post hardly seems like a crooked marketing method. Fans can chose to unlike a page if they find the brand clutters their feed with unwanted promotions.
You can see that Facebook is trying to do some good here by getting rid of what I would call "like bait." If it doesn't want people to give away competitions prizes and other inducements to click "like," then they really ought to know they are part of the problem. Brands now have to gain more followers than ever before because organic reach has been dialed down. So, what option do brands trying to build a following have?
The answer here is the rather obvious one -- which from what I can see, is at least half the reason behind everything Facebook does, particularly when it mentions "spammy" news feeds.
If you can't ask people to click "like" to win a magnum of wine or tickets to a fun fair, then the marketing route open to you is -- you guessed it -- paying to promote a post.
This is not beyond the marketing budgets of big brands -- but for small businesses that are trying against the odds to build up a loyal following, and despite Facebook's tinkering, reach them regularly -- it is becoming virtually impossible to reach their goals without promoting posts.
Facebook talks about brands needing to have deeper, more meaningful conversations with consumers, rather than going for the wide reach of "like us to win a VIP shopping trip" approach. That is for the very good reason that it is focussing brands on depth and leaving reach to promoted posts.
So has Facebook gone too far this time?
Not if it is going to limit its policies to "like" traps -- but yes if it carries out its policy to the letter of the law and forbids a "like" as a competition entry.
As ever, the part it does to make the site more usable is to be commended, but the part that forces brands to spend more on promoting posts, is not.

Manchester United Must Let Ronaldo Leave – Rooney
Reuters/Carl Recine
Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney believes that the club must let Cristiano Ronaldo leave if they are to build a successful team for the future under new manager Erik ten Hag.
The 37-year-old Ronaldo, who re-signed for United from Juventus last season, reportedly wants a move away from Old Trafford after the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League.
"I think United should let Cristiano Ronaldo go. It's not that Ronaldo can't play in a Ten Hag team. He can play in any team," Rooney, who now manages Major League Soccer side DC United, wrote in a column for the Times newspaper.
"Ronny will always score you goals. But my personal view is that United aren't ready to challenge for the title now, so the aim has to be to build a team that can win the league in the next three to four years, and you have to plan for that."
Ronaldo netted 24 times in all competitions last season, emerging as one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise forgettable campaign for United that saw them finish sixth.
Ten Hag this week said he was happy to have a "top striker" like Ronaldo in the squad and looking forward to working with him. read more
Rooney, who is United's all-time leading scorer, added he was hopeful that Ten Hag would be able to establish a clear playing style at his former club.
"I couldn't work out what they were trying to do in terms of game plan, or see any patterns of play," Rooney said of last season.
"I think one of the big things you'll see from Ten Hag is him really trying to put his stamp on the playing identity."
United kick off their Premier League campaign at home to Brighton & Hove Albion later on Sunday.

The suspect in the high profile Grambling State University double murder has hired a defense team to argue his innocence. Attorneys Ronald Haley and Dedrick Moore would not reveal 19-year-old Jaylin Wayne's side of the story, but said the focus should switch to the environment at Grambling.
Cops had said the incident in which Earl Andrews, another GSU student, and Monquiarious Caldwell were killed, was the result of a personal feud and isolated. Haley says there was yet another shooting on campus just this past weekend, and they feel more light should be shed on a bigger problem at Grambling.
Wayne was arrested on first-degree murder charges. GSU President Rick Gallot said it became clear early on that this was not some random act of violence.

Aussie seniors reckon today's parents are a bit useless
By Kelly Baker| 2 years ago
Grandparents are concerned - and yes, about you! Image: Getty.
Think they did a much better job than you
Australian grandparents worry their grandchildren are set for unhappy futures, shows a new study.
The Raising Modern Australia report is the eighth installment of the Australian Seniors Series, an ongoing survey that aims to explore the shifting attitudes, concerns and emerging trends affecting Australia's over 50s. The study examines the views and changing roles of Australian grandparents and the impact they believe modern parenting styles will have on their grandchildren.
The survey identifies a generational shift in parenting behaviours, with the overwhelming majority of grandparents agreeing that parenting styles have changed significantly since they were children and seven in 10 fearing this could mean their grandchildren will not enjoy life as they have.
Change is not always for the best according to almost three in five seniors, who share the opinion that parenting styles have become worse over the years. Among the key shifts in parenting trends, grandparents believe parents spoil children too much these days and are notably less strict.
Aussie grandparents are a little worried and um, yes, about you ... Image: Getty.
"Today's report shows the real concerns Australian grandparents have about the effect modern parenting could have on their grandchildren, and highlights generational differences in raising children," says Chief Marketing Officer and Australian Seniors spokesperson Simon Hovell.
"We are seeing a fundamental shift in the traditional roles of grandparents and parents when it comes to raising Aussie children."
Today, parents are seen to be adopting behaviours that were previously expected from grandparents, such as spoiling children, the research shows.
"Interestingly, this has led grandparents to assume more disciplinarian responsibilities, as the research revealed that just under a third of grandparents discipline their grandchildren more than the parents" adds Mr Hovell.
When asked about the consequences current parenting styles could have on children, eight in 10 grandparents believe the praise and reward-inspired culture that exists today will negatively impact the future of their grandchildren, while almost 80 per cent believe children will have an increased sense of entitlement.
Similarly, about three quarters of grandparents are surprised by the way children are brought up these days and agree that modern-day parenting styles are eroding important values in society.
"It is clear that the seniors of contemporary Australia have identified a significant and paramount shift in parenting styles when compared to when they were raising children," says Psychotherapist Dr Karen Phillip.
Like to learn more about parents and kids and how they're faring? Listen to our new podcast Honey Mums by clicking the link below.
"This can often challenge the role that seniors have grown up with given many grandparents today feel they have a responsibility to help parent their grandchildren.
"This report confirms parenting trends do vary from generation to generation, and grandparents have concerns about what this means for their grandchildren. The most useful thing parents and grandparents can do is have a conversation about their differences of opinion and experiences," adds Dr Phillip.
Grandparents today also have concerns with modern day influences that can have an impact on their grandchildren.
The research reveals that nearly all grandparents are concerned about the things that are influencing children, for example social media and the amount of time spent online. Concerns also extend to their own offspring with three quarters of Aussie grandparents agreeing that parents are not taking the time to simply enjoy being a parent.
Despite the concerns grandparents have, they are happy to make sacrifices to contribute to the wellbeing of their grandchildren. More than seven in 10 grandparents agree they have made sacrifices to care for their grandchildren on a weekly basis, such as having to be on call when needed, or altering plans with friends to care for grandchildren.
Further, almost a third of selfless seniors have shifted holiday and travel arrangements or have changed work arrangements to be there for their grandchildren. Regardless of this, almost all of those who care for their grandchildren agree this creates positive outcomes for their health, shows the survey.
Not only do Australian grandparents contribute with their time, but just under half contribute financially towards their family for birthday and Christmas presents for their grandchildren.
"It is hoped that the strong concerns grandparents have for the future happiness and resilience of the next generation could be mitigated by the support and wisdom they provide their grandchildren, which can help to nurture them into happy, healthy adults," says Dr Phillip.

Vehicle Crashes Into Afghan Airfield Where Panetta Was Landing : The Two-Way The Secretary of Defense was not hurt in the incident.
Vehicle Crashes Into Afghan Airfield Where Panetta Was Landing
March 14, 201212:43 PM ET
The Pentagon says an Afghan drove a stolen truck onto the airfield of a British base in southern Afghanistan at high speeds until it crashed into a ditch and exploded into flames.
The incident at Camp Bastion happened around the same time that U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta landed in the country.
"At no point was the Secretary or anyone on the aircraft in any danger from this incident," the International Security Assistance Force said in a statement.
ISAF said one person was in custody and the Pentagon told the AP that an initial search found no explosive devices in the vehicle.
We'll have more on this story as it develops.
Update at 1:23 p.m. ET. No Firm Evidence It Was An Attack On Panetta:
NPR's Larry Abramson reports from Kabul that while the timing is suspicious, "there is no firm evidence" that this was an attack on Secretary Panetta.
"It happened just at the time the secretary was landing. And it was known to members on the base that the secretary of defense was coming to visit them," Larry said.
Larry adds that Panetta's plane was diverted away from the incident when he landed.
Update at 12:52 p.m. ET. A Tense Visit:
As we reported earlier, Panetta visit to Afghanistan comes at a tense moment, just days after a U.S. soldier allegedly went on a shooting spree, killing 16 Afghan civilians.
Earlier, before news of the explosion was known, The New York Times reported on the tense situation in the country:
"In a sign of the nervousness surrounding Mr. Panetta's trip, the Marines and other troops who were waiting in a tent for the defense secretary to speak were abruptly asked by their commander to get up, place their weapons — M-16 and M-4 automatic rifles and 9-mm pistols — outside the tent and then return unarmed. The commander, Sgt. Maj. Brandon Hall, told reporters he was acting on orders from superiors.
"'All I know is, I was told to get the weapons out,' he said. Asked why, he replied, 'Somebody got itchy, that's all I've got to say. Somebody got itchy; we just adjust.'
"Normally, American forces in Afghanistan keep their weapons with them when the defense secretary visits and speaks to them. The Afghans in the tent waiting for Mr. Panetta were not armed to begin with, as is typical."
Update at 12:46 p.m. ET. Afghan Drove Stolen Vehicle:
The AP reports that it was an Afghan driving the stolen vehicle. Pentagon Spokesman, Navy Capt. John Kirby, said the suspect drove the pickup truck onto the airfield at high speeds and eventually crashed into a ditch where it exploded into flames.
"Initial reports said no explosive devices were found in the vehicle or in a search of the driver," the AP reports, adding that the driver is "being treated for burn injuries."

Q: Как определяется "главная копия переменной" в многопоточной программе? Читаю (стр 378) (прошу прощения за большую выдержку из источника):

Модификатор доступа volatile сообщает компилятору, что модифицируемая им переменная может быть неожиданно изменена в других частях программы. Одна из таких ситуаций возникает в многопоточных программах, где иногда у двух или более потоков исполнения имеется совместный доступ к одной и той же переменной. Из соображений эффективности, в каждом потоке может храниться своя закрытая копия этой переменной. Настоящая ( или главная) копия переменной обновляется в разные моменты , например, при входе в синхронизированный метод. Такой подход вполне работоспособен, но не всегда оказывается достаточно эффективным. Иногда требуется , чтобы главная копия переменной постоянно отражала ее текущее состояние. И для этого достаточно объявить переменную как volatile , сообщив тем самым компилятору всегда использовать главную копию этой переменной ( или хотя бы поддерживать любые закрытые ее копии обновляемыми по главной копии, и наоборот). Кроме того, доступ к главной копии переменной должен осуществляться в том же порядке, что и к любой закрытой копии.

Вопрос:
В каждом потоке может храниться своя копия переменной. Как определяется "главная копия переменной" в многопоточной программе? В каком потоке она "главная"? Модификатор доступа volatile определяет? Но ведь все потоки видят эту переменную одинаково.

A:
Как определяется "главная копия переменной" в многопоточной программе?

Под главной копией переменной здесь подразумевается та переменная, значение которой актуально на данный момент.

В каком потоке она "главная"?

Если переменная объявлена как volatile, то в любом потоке она будет главная, в противном случае можно ожидать любое другое поведение (где-то она будет главная, а где-то – нет).

Но ведь все потоки видят эту переменную одинаково.

Если переменная объявлена как volatile, то все потоки будут видеть эту переменную одинаково, в противном случае потоки могут закешировать эту переменную и, в таком случае, другие потоки уже не увидят актуальное значение этой переменной.
Ключевое слово volatile гарантирует видимость переменной. То есть переменная, объявленная с таким модификатором, в любой момент времени в любом потоке будет иметь актуальное значение.
Приведу небольшой пример:
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo foo = new Foo();

        Thread checkThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                foo.checkValue();
            }
        });
        checkThread.setName("Check Thread");
        checkThread.start();

        Thread incThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                foo.incValue();
            }
        });
        incThread.setName("Inc Thread");
        incThread.start();
    }

    private static class Foo {
        private volatile int mValue;

        public Foo() {
            mValue = 1;
        }

        public void checkValue() {
            int localValue = mValue;
            while (localValue < 5) {
                if (localValue != mValue) {
                    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + ": value = " + mValue);
                    localValue = mValue;
                }
            }
        }

        public void incValue() {
            for (int i=0; i<4; i++) {
                System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + ": value = " + mValue);
                mValue++;
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(500);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Поток checkThread копирует значение mValue в локальную переменную localValue и крутится в цикле до тех пор, пока localValue < 5. При этом, в цикле проверяется условие localValue != mValue, если оно истинно (это означает изменение переменной mValue), то локальной переменной localValue присваивается текущее значение mValue.
Поток incThread инкрементирует переменную mValue с паузами в 500 миллисекунд, пока ее значение не достигнет 5.
Если переменная mValue объявлена как volatile, то Вы всегда получите строго такой вывод на консоль:
Inc Thread: value = 1
Check Thread: value = 2
Inc Thread: value = 2
Check Thread: value = 3
Inc Thread: value = 3
Check Thread: value = 4
Inc Thread: value = 4
Check Thread: value = 5

Если переменная mValue НЕ объявлена как volatile, то Вы не можете гарантировать, что вывод на консоль будет всегда такой же, как и в предыдущем случае. Он может быть и такой же, а может и другой, например такой:
Inc Thread: value = 1
Inc Thread: value = 2
Inc Thread: value = 3
Inc Thread: value = 4

или такой:
Inc Thread: value = 1
Check Thread: value = 2
Inc Thread: value = 2
Inc Thread: value = 3
Inc Thread: value = 4

В случае, когда переменная объявлена как volatile, после ее инкрементирования в потоке Inc Thread, поток Check Thread сразу же видит это изменение.
В случае, когда переменная НЕ объявлена как volatile, в первом выводе на консоль видно, что поток Check Thread вообще не увидел изменение этой переменной, а во втором случае – увидел только первое инкрементирование.

Celgene To The FDA: Oh… That White Paper
Home » News » Celgene To The FDA: Oh… That White Paper
January 26th, 2012 // 2:00 pm	@ jmpickett
You can get all sorts of things when you pay $2.9 billion for a biotech, including an admonition from the FDA. That's what happened to Celgene last month, when the FDA issued a stern letter for a troublesome white paper that Abraxis BioScience had distributed at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting nearly two years ago.
The subject of the white paper was Abraxene, an injectable med used to treat metastatic breast cancer and a key reason that Celgene bought the biotech in late 2010. However, the paper broadened the indication for Abraxane, made unsubstantiated effectiveness and superiority claims, and omitted and minimized important risk information associated with its use. As a result, misbranding occurred.
There were other problems. For one, the paper promoted Abraxane as safe and effective for additional uses for which it is being studied. The paper was disseminated at ASCO without the full FDA-approved product labeling. And Abraxis failed to submit the paper in advance for FDA review. And if you were wondering how the FDA knew, well, a staffer grabbed a copy from the Abraxis booth in the exhibit hall.
This caused another big problem. Why? In November 2010, after Abraxis was purchased, Celgene responded to an FDA query asking about the paper, which was published in Drug Delivery Report. The drugmaker indicated the publication is not peer-reviewed, but the paper was restricted to individual requests by people with "clear business interests" in similar products or third-party relationships.
Here's the kicker: The FDA maintains that Celgene "alleges that the white paper was not made available to the conference's primary audience (physicians or others involved in the decision process for treating patients) or to the commercial sales force." But the FDA staffer found the paper on the countertop at the Abraxis booth during exhibit hours, where anyone could get a copy.
The representative from the FDA Office of Prescription Drug Promotion "was neither approached by an Abraxis representative when the white paper was obtained nor was a PL (product labeling) offered or attached to the piece," the FDA office writes to Celgene in a December 23, 2011, letter.
In other words, someone got their facts wrong… at best. The lesson? Next time a drugmaker wants to distribute an off-the-reservation white paper, it should not be left in plain view at a medical conference where FDA staff are snooping. Or just refrain from distributing a paper at all until the agency has given its blessing. One more thing: get your story straight before talking to the FDA.
