Yonsei University (IPA: /'jənsɛː/) a private, coeducational university located in Seoul, South Korea, has earned recognition as one of the leading universities in Korea. Korean people often express that noting that Yonsei belongs to the "SKY" universities, along with Seoul National University and Korea University in South Korea.
The university formally established in January, 1957 through the union of Yonhi College and Severance Union Medical College out of long-lasting bilateral cooperation between the two colleges begun in the 1920s. Yonhi stands as one of the first modern colleges, founded originally as Chosun Christian College in March, 1915, and Severence has its roots in the first modern medical center in Korea, Gwanghyewon, founded in April, 1885 by American Presbyterian missionary Horace N. Allen. As a tribute, the name 'Yon-sei' derived from the first syllables of the names of its two parent institutions.

5 Notable Alumni
Yonsei University's roots lay in the arrival of American missionaries to Korea in 1884. Horace Allen, Horace Underwood, Ella and Henry Appenzeller, and Mary Scranton, representing the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, laid the foundation for Yonsei University, Ewha University, and Paichai University. Yonsei University, a private college, recently celebrated it's 120th anniversary. The history of Yonsei provides a cross-section view of the history of Korea since 1884. Rather than a by stander to that history, Yonsei has been an active participant in Korean history, educating generation after generation of Koran leaders.

University shield
The "ㅇ" and "ㅅ" in the University shield derive from the first letters of "연세"(Yonsei). The circle "ㅇ" represents the ideal of a complete and well-rounded person, while the "ㅅ" symbolizes the upward-looking striving for scholarly excellence. In addition, the "ㅇ" stands for Heaven, the "-" represents the horizon of the Earth, and "ㅅ" signifies "Man" as expressed in the Chinese character (人). The open book stands for Truth, the torchlight signifies Freedom, and the shield protects those two core principles of the University.
Yonsei University hosts the Korean Language Institute (KLI), reputed as one of the leading Korean language institutes in Korea. Yonsei KLI caters to students studying Korean from all parts of the world with a focus on Korean grammar and writing.
Koreans regard Yonsei as one of the top universities in South Korea, belonging to a group of three universities in Korea nicknamed "SKY" schools. Koreans created the acronym from the initial letters of the three "Ivy" universities in Korea: Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University. "SKY" alumni have held major positions in diverse fields in Korean society for decades, admission into those three universities considered tantamount to entering high society. That widely accepted view fuels tough competition in high school education in Korea.[1].

History (1885-1957)
Beginnings (1885-1916)
The Yonsei University Medical School dates back to April 10, 1885, when Horace Allen established the first modern hospital to practice western medicine in Korea, Gwanghyewon (광혜원 廣惠院, House of Extended Grace). The hospital, founded by Horace Newton Allen, the American protestant missionary appointed to Korea by the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A (from here on the Church). King Gojong renamed he hospital Jejungwon (제중원 濟衆院, House of Universal Helpfulness) on April 23. The Church appointed Oliver R. Avison to run Jejungwon on July 16, 1893, Dr. Allen having been appointed US Ambassador to Korea years before. Initially, the Royal Palace financed Gwanghyewon while the Church provided the medical staff. By 1894 when the First Sino-Japanese War and Gabo reforms took place, the hospital lost government financial support, the management of Jejungwon now came fully under the Church. In 1899 Avison returned to the United States, attending a conference of missionaries in New York where he elaborated on the medical project in Korea. Louis H. Severence, a businessman and philanthropist from Cleveland, Ohio, in attendance, deeply moved, paid for the major portion of the construction cost of new buildings for the medical facility. The Presbyterian mission in Korea renamed Jejungwon renamed Severance Hospital in his name.
Jejungwon (later Severance Hospital) served primarily a hospital but also performed medical education as an attachment. The hospital admitted its first class of 16 medical students selected through examinations in 1886, one year after its establishment. By 1899, Jejungwon Medical School became independently and officially recognized. Following the increase of diversity in missionary denominations in Korea, collaboration began to form. Jejungwon received medical staff, school faculty and financial support from the Union Council of Korean Missionaries (한국연합선교협의회) in 1912, the medical school taking the new name Severance Union Medical College in 1913.[3]
Apart from the medial college, the rest of Yonsei University traces its origins to Chosun Christian College (조선기독교대학) founded on March 5, 1915 by another American Protestant missionary sent by the Church, Horace Grant Underwood. Underwood became the first president, and Avison vice president. Located at YMCA, courses began in April of that year with sixty students and eighteen faculty members. Underwood died of illness on October 12, 1916, Avison taking over as president.
Under Japanese rule (I) (1917 - 1936)
On August 22, 1910, Japan annexed Korea with the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty. The first Governor-General of Korea, Terauchi Masatake, introduced Ordinance on Chosun Education (조선교육령) in 1911, and subsequently Regulations on Professional Schools (전문학교 규칙) and Revised Regulations on Private Schools (개정사립학교 규칙) in March, 1915. The Japanese intended the regulations to stifle private education in Korea. Any establishment of schools, any change in school regulations, location, its purpose, coursework or textbooks must receive authorization from the governor-general. Professors must teach all courses in Japanese.
Severance Union College struggled to meet those requirements. School regulations and coursework altered, the faculty evaluated and increased, its foundation and its board clarified. Yoni received recognition as a professional medical school on May 14, 1917[4]. In 1922 the governor-general Makoto Saito issued Revised Ordinance on Chosun Education (개정조선교육령) calling for more strict qualification of the faculty. Severance responded obediently, recruited more faculty members with degrees from accredited institutions in North America and Europe. Japan conditionally recognized the competence of the college. In 1923 Severance recovered its right to give medical license to its graduates without state examination, a right lost since 1912. In March, 1934, Japanese Ministry of Education and Culture further recognized Severance by allowing graduates the right to practice medicine anywhere within Japanese sovereignty. Oh Geung Seon (吳兢善) became the first Korean president of Severance in 1934.
Ordinances in 1915 and 1922 also affected the fate of Chosun Christian College. First intended as a college, Japan refused to recognize that legally since the Ordinance (1915) prohibited the establishment of Korean private colleges. Hence Chosun Christian College, renamed Yonhi College, received formal acceptance only as a professional school on April 17, 1917, then a joint project from diverse missionary denominations. Yonhi in reality had formed the organization and faculty becoming a university consisting of six departments: humanities, agriculture[5], commerce, theology[6], mathematics & physics, and applied chemistry. The ordinances, furthermore, prohibited coursework in Korean history, its geography, or in Bible outside the department of theology. The Council of Missionaries reacted with A Resolution on the Revised Educational Ordinance (개정교육령에 관한 결의문)[7] carefully pointing out that Japan applied more rigorous standards to Korean universities and schools than to its private schools in mainland Japan.
After March First Independence Movement swept the peninsula in 1919, Japan somewhat relaxed its grip on Korea, reflected in the Ordinance (1922). The Governor-General ceased the arbitrary control over the coursework and the qualification of faculty members, altering its stance on strict separation of religion from all education. Japan recognized Yonhi as a professional school equal to its counterparts in Japan, permitting Christian programs and the Bible in its coursework. Japanese literature became mandatory, in turn.[8] Under Japanese intervention, Professors taught Korean history under the name Eastern History and they taught Korean language whenever possible. [9] Yonhi freely admitted non-Christians, encouraging the majority of Christian students to gradually influence and assimilate them.
Severance and Yonhi maintained close ties with Independence Movement. Many faculty members and students of Severance and Yonhi directly involved in the March First Independence Movement. Severance continued its contribution by printing The Independence in the basement of one of its buildings, Yonhi actively supporting the cause of independence. By the end of the Independence Movement, only seventeen students remained in the college. Yonhi students actively participated in the Chosun Student Council for Scientific Research (조선학생과학연구회), one of the leading groups in the Mansei movement of June 10, 1926. Yonhi Student Council and many faculty members, belonging to the clandestine Shin Gan Society (신간회 新幹會), gave full support to the Gwangju Student Movement. In the aftermath, Japanese police apprehended students, exposing the Shin Gan Society. Later, students actively participated in V Narod (브나로드) and Student Enlightenment Movement (학생계몽운동) during 1929-1930.
Under Japanese rule (II): The war machine (1937-1945)
Yonsei University, Main Campus, Seoul
In the late 1930s, Japan again shifted its policy towards Korea to incorporate it to its scheme of expansionism. In August, 1936, the new Japanese Governor-General Jirō Minami began the assimilation of Koreans, to force them to serve the Japanese military. The Governor-General enforced Sōshi-kaimei and Shintoism on Koreans, while recruiting Koreans for Japanese war efforts. In April 1938, the third Ordinance on Chosun Education ordered the acceptance of Shintoism, voluntary removal of Korean language in coursework, and further intensification of Japanese and Japanese history education. Yonhi Professional School refused to cooperate, opening courses on the study of Korean language in November, 1938. Japan reacted in March, 1940, forcing Yonhi to open courses on Japanese studies for each department and each grade level.
From 1938, the Japanese restricted the teaching of English following a deterioration of relations between Japan and United States. The Governor General forbade coursework in English while censoring texts of English writers. In 1938, President H.H. Underwood accepted the practice of Shintoism to avoid the fate of Yonhi's termination. Governors-General pushed Yonhi to refuse financial support from United States and financial difficulties amounted. On individual level, Japanese police apprehended or interrogated Yonhi faculty members and its students during this period for their involvement in real and alleged resistance movements.[10] In 1939, the United States government recalled all its citizens and missionaries in Korea. Underwood and some of the faculty refused to leave Korea until forced to in 1941-1942 following the outbreak of the pacific war. The Japanese dispatched military officers to Yonhi for military training of students in 1940, while drafting for forced labor began in 1941. The Japanese seized scientific equipment, building materials, and even the Underwood's statue, turning the campus yard into drill ground.
On August 17, 1942, the Governor General dismissed the board, appropriating Yonhi property as property of the enemy United States. The Governor-General named an appointee to directly manage Yoni, converting the campus into a tool for assimilation of Koreans into the Japanese military and drafting forced labor. By October, 1943, the Japanese conscripted the students, converting dormitories into barracks while housing the Japanese air force in 1944. Finally, on May 10, 1944, Governors-General closed Yonhi, redesignating the college Kyungsung Industrial Management School (경성공업경영학교), with the primary purpose of training engineers for Japan's war effort.
Due to their value in the time of war, medical students of Severance escaped "voluntary recruitment," but Severance also faced Sōshi-kaimei, military training, and constant surveillance by the Japanese authorities. The Japanese coerced Severance coerced into changing its name to Asahi(旭) in 1942.
Liberation, the Korean War, to founding of Yonsei University (1946-1957)
Eagle statue on Yonsei Campus
The liberated Korean government approved Severance as a college in 1947. Since the Japanese had run the majority of medical institutions in Korea, a shortage of medical staff and faculty plagued the hospitals after the Japanese departure. Many members of Severance staff and faculty left Severance to assist other institutions. Severance also took up the role of student leadership, outspoken against Division of Korea. In 1950, during the outbreak of the Korean War, Severance functioned as a field hospital until North Korea overran Seoul. Most the Severance community fled in time, but some faculty members and students, unable to escape, stayed behind. The invading North Koreans killed and captured them. Severance seniors joined the military as army surgeons. Although Severance returned to Seoul for a while after its recapture, the community fled again in December on a LST in Incheon. When Severance arrived in Busan, its medical school joined the wartime college, a temporary body. Meanwhile, the Severance facility in Seoul, located in the center of the city near the Seoul station, received heavy damage. Severance Hospital again returned on April 1, 1952, while the medical college followed on June 12, 1952.
The United States military command, initially neglecting the restitution Yonhi, planned to utilize it as a military hospital or judiciary training center. The United States command changed to view Yoni as a missionary college that had been dispossessed by the Japanese Governor-General. Yonhi opened its doors again on January 21, 1946 and, on August 15, 1946, won recognition as a university. Baek Nak Jun became president. A period of transition, Yonhi University faced numerous obstacles including financial ones. After 1947, financial affairs became more stable and the programs settled. At the time, Korea lacked teachers, the provisional government requested Yonhi to provide education and training. They established Temporary Training Center for Secondary School Teachers in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry (임시 수물화학과 중등교원양성소). In December, 1948, plans for unification of Yonhi and Severance began to take form.[11] Yonsei Graduate School had formed in July 1950, one month after the outbreak of the Korean War.
Normal operations came to a halt with the outbreak of the Korean War. The university suspended all courses on June 27, two days after the North Koreans launched a surprise invasion across the 38th parallel, recruiting student soldiers. The North Korean military advanced into Yonhi campus, establishing its headquarters there. During the retaking of Seoul following the Inchon landing in September, fighting severely damaged the campus. The university reopened following the recapture of Seoul, but once more fled to Busan in December with the Chinese invasion. In February 1951, Yonhi joined the wartime college while keeping an independent governing body, opening its own courses on October 3, 1951. On April 15, 1953 Yonhi began its work on restoration, Yonhi returning to its campus in the fall. In 1957, Severance Medical College and Hospital and Yonhi University merged to form Yonsei University. Today, Yonsei operates its main campus in Seoul and a satellite campus in Wonju, Gangwon Province.

Home	Cave Creation
The caves are empty spaces in the rocks, they have an entrance that allows communication with the surface and dimensions such that it is possible for humans to enter. Each cave can be completely or partially filled with sediments, ie with materials that are transported there mainly by the erosion of rocks, water or ice. When caves are presented with complex development - such as a combination of vertical wells and horizontal chambers - they are cave systems.
The interpretation of the way of creation and evolution of caves and cave systems is the caveogenesis, which, however, includes the phases where the movement of water takes place in very narrow pipes that can not be considered caves due to size due to the above definition, as well as phases where the caves begin to collapse and be destroyed.
Summary Presentation of the Creation of the Caves
The shape and size of the caves vary greatly due to a large number of factors related to the structure and composition of the rock, the geometry of the cracks, the terrain in which it is located, the hydrological conditions and many other elements of lesser importance. Most of the caves that have been discovered are found in rocks such as limestone, marble, dolomite and generally in the so-called carbonate rocks. The reason for this is the composition of these rocks, which allows the dissolution of rainwater, when it binds carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and soil, ie karst erosion.
The result of this reaction is the formation of a weak carbonic acid capable of dissolving carbonate rocks. Distilled water at normal temperature dissolves 16mg / lt CaCO³, while when enriched in CO² during the reaction: CO² + HDO ↔ HDCO³, its solubility increases. Factors that affect karst erosion are the appropriate tectonic structure of the area, the slope of the soil surface, the climatic conditions and the chemical composition of the limestones. Thus with the presence of carbonic acid in the water the limestone (calcium carbonate) is converted to acidic calcium bicarbonate during the reaction: HCOCO + CaCO³ ↔Ca (HCO³) ²
The reaction shifts, in case of excess CO² to the products or when there is a shortage, to the reactants, in which case we have dissolution or precipitation of CaCO³ depending on the case. It is very important that in a small volume all these rocks are practically impermeable to water, but in their total volume, due to the many cracks they present (these cracks can be branches, cracks or cracks, as described in geology) , finally allow the passage of water. In this way the water widens the initially small cracks until it creates large spaces and labyrinthine systems of underground corridors, ie caves.
This process is continuous until geological rearrangements create new conditions. In the new conditions, the cave system of an area can acquire a new structure or move to a state where its further expansion almost stops and its space begins to fill with deposits, mainly calcite, which compose its decorative decoration. The term decoration refers to the so-called cave themes, of which the most common are stalactites, stalagmites, columns, etc.
The formation of these deposits is due to the reversal of the rock dissolution process due to the fact that the physical and chemical conditions have changed. As a consequence of this change, when water reaches the cave site through the cracks, it deposits the amount of calcium carbonate (which comes from the dissolution of the limestone rock) that it carries under dissolution.
Each drop carries a very small amount of dissolved calcium carbonate and slowly "builds" a cavern. If deposition occurs on the roof it forms stalactites or curtains on sloping surfaces. When the drop reaches the floor, it creates stalagmites, while when it lands on the walls and small lakes, it can form a very large variety of cave themes. This process is very slow and can take thousands of years.

After following this for the last couple of years, I've paid my registration fee today. (Zone 13 Woodland Hills) I also think we need more than just 'signs stuck in the ground' to get people in the area to sign up. Getting some signs would be a good place to start. Timothy Carroll - send me an email at gelpilot@gmail.com. Maybe we can get a neighborhood meeting set up to showcase this thing. We would need to find a place like a clubhouse, etc.


My first day on the job at Grottini I arrived at the office around 8:15. I felt a little nervous about where to go and what I would be doing, but definitely very excited for what was to come.
Butterfly Twists is based out of London and Keith had just gotten back from London that day and was describing to me what the client was looking to achieve. He also mentioned working on marketing banners for the new Customer Collaboration Center that Grottini had just built for the pasta company Barilla. And we discussed the branding of a new company, Intelligent Store.
From that day forward I threw my heart and soul into creating a shop-in-shop for Butterfly Twists, which was our main focus and biggest project. We worked directly with the clients from Butterfly Twists through Skype call meetings where we would get a better feeling of the direction they wanted to go in.
Keith and I, and another LIM College student, Jenifer Cohen, would take the feedback and information from Butterfly Twists and brainstorm creating sketches, renderings, and presentations with inspiration. We had to make sure the designs we were creating would be suitable for Grottini, Topshop, and Butterfly Twists.
We took each one of these ideas and brainstormed them separately, creating individual sketches, fixtures, and displays for each concept. Then we created separate PowerPoint presentations and sent them to the client for feedback.

In July 2009, a cry for help went up in parts of northern and eastern Uganda as many people succumbed to the severe and persistent drought that swept across half of the nation. Soroti district was one of the localities that was hardest hit. However, this cry was not new to this part of the country.
Every year Soroti district is listed as a statistic for emergency help. It is said to be one of the districts with the highest levels of poverty in the country, with a very low education level and inhabitants ignorant of cultivation skills. Many have painful memories of war.
With unpredictable weather, from hot and dry conditions that lead to drought and famine, to strong winds and rain that destroy homes and crops, the inhabitants of the land never know what to expect of fickle nature and how to overcome the damage left behind.
To the local inhabitants, the hunger and famine that come with the changing seasons is a leopard looking for the helpless and hopeless to devour. But for a few people in the community, it is time to fight back.
For the beneficiaries of the Asuret and Victory Outreach Orwadai Child Development Centers, it is time to hunt down and chase the "leopard," and banish it for good.
Mary has watched three of her children die of disease, neglect and ignorance. Her family has been brought to its knees with no hope. Being HIV-positive with no money for treatment, both she and her husband Emmanuel had no strength to work for a living, and even then no one to take a chance on them. Life was hard with hardly enough food to eat. Most nights the family went to bed with empty bellies.
Despairing and wracked with disease in 2004 when her husband lost his eyesight, Mary set aside her pride and dignity and resorted to begging on the streets and public buses coming in from outside of town. Her husband stayed at home with their remaining two children.
For four years this was the life she knew. She woke up every morning praying to God to touch the heart of one person whose generosity would extend to her, so her family would have something to eat that night.
In 2008, the Victory Outreach Orwadai Child Development Center opened a few meters from Mary's home. Mary and her family were one of the first families whose children were identified to benefit from the sponsorship program.
As part of the assistance the family received, Mary and Emmanuel were given 50,000 Uganda shillings (about $27) to start up a business that they could manage. With this money they bought one pig and firewood, and started to sell fried pork to the community members in the town center.
As demand for their food has grown, the duo's business has moved from selling one pig in two days to currently two pigs a day.
Whereas before they had no food and depended on the mercy of good Samaritans, the family now is able to have three meals a day as well as a variety of food in their diet.
Out of the profits of the business, Mary and Emmanuel bought a bed, a goat and a sheep. They also joined a "savings" group of people like them benefiting from the program, and were able to save enough money to buy a second sheep. The family hopes the sheep and goats will reproduce, and that they will sell them and expand their business.
"We have so many plans. We are planning to expand the huts in the eating place and add Irish potatoes and cabbage with tomatoes," says Mary, who is excited at her future prospects. "We have great hope in the future."
Life was not so different for the community of Asuret village, located about an hour away from Soroti town. They too experienced the harsh weather and stalking hunger and famine. When the Asuret Child Development Center opened, the prayers of many were answered.
When given the 50,000 shillings to start up their individual income-generating activities, the beneficiaries of Asuret Child Development Center decided instead to pool their money and start up a group activity. This helps also take care of the elderly and weak, who would not be able to maintain their own individual projects.
The group started a chicken and piggery farm, and the members each take turns tending to them daily.
All the beneficiaries in the group are HIV-positive, and being a part of this has given them a lifeline to hold onto.
For many, the profits from the project have enabled them to start their own individual income-generating activities like tailoring, selling charcoal, and small-scale agriculture.
"My children are now happy because I can now go home with something for them every day, unlike before," says Naome, a widow with seven children, the youngest of whom is HIV-positive and also in the Asuret Child Development Center. Naome started a tailoring business that is now thriving.
The success of the group income-generating activity as well as each person's individual activities are helping many group members pay for their other children's needs, even those who are not registered in the sponsorship program. Most of the group members have also returned the initial investment given to them by the church.
The group's success has filtered into the community, and the association had had requests from people who are not HIV-positive to join in the investment.
With the weather erratic and difficult to predict in this region, a more sustainable solution found in the income-generating activity programs seems to be the answer for the beneficiaries of both these development centers. They are determined not to remain a statistic, but to be the exception when the "leopard" comes calling next year.

This is a wonderful example of Hope and what can be accomplished…. I liked how the group combined their money to work together. Not only are the individual families benefiting financially, but they are likely becomming closer as a community!
Christopher Acar February 26, 2010
This is a great success story and we thank Compassion for making adifference in the lives of these families.When all hope seems to be lost,God will always provide an opening and a way out of the problem.Glory be to God,forever.Amen
Lindy February 25, 2010
I missed the Blog yesterday, and I'm so, so glad I got to read this today! This story is amazingly encouraging!! It thrills me for these dear people and gives me such hope for sponsored children and their families in other areas, as well!
Emmanuel Nyiringabo February 25, 2010
Where there is a will, there will always be a way!
With determination and commitment we can make a big difference in this world.
The main thing is not the large sums of money but an attitude and belief that with faith and effort one can make a distinction. The ability to get something out of nothing is a mind-set.
This is indeed a success story and a big lesson to us!
With Jesus, we can make it, no matter what!!
Gillian February 25, 2010
I will never stop being in awe of God's goodness and provision!! How he blessed the work of their hands …. WOW! 🙂

Not only is Christ able to feed the crowd with a few loaves and fishes but He is able to feed entire families and villages, restore dignity and hope with what is left over change to most americans.
Wayengera Godfrey February 25, 2010
It is so amazing the way the Lord rescues His people. But this also comes with one's determination like this family did. This reninds me of the scripture in the bible that warns us aganist despising the days of small beginings. What I see here is a success story. I would like to thank the sponsors and donors who selflessly sacrifice to support the needy. I also thank the church partners who stand in the gap to ensure that this help gets to the people.
Frank Obonyo PF CI-UG February 25, 2010
Thanks Conso for the story, it is encouraging to see the benefits and so humbling to see how a mustard seed can multiply for birds to perch on it.
Amanda February 24, 2010
It is good to know that these precious families are finding a way out of poverty. I often forget that we are not just helping the sponsored child…but that we are helping their families as well. And I am totally amazed that just $27.00 was enough for this mom to start her own family buisness! It reminds me that we can truly make a difference!

Q: Public private variable connection issue in 2 Java Classes I have two files, Display.java (first) and then Lancher.java (second). They are both under the same project but are two different classes. I want to have a display image, but the width and height from the Launcher file come up as errored. I don't know why, as both width and height are public in the Display file.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Display extends JFrame {

    private Canvas canvas;

    public Display(int width, int height) {
        setTitle("Game");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Process will still be running but application closes when cross is pressed
        setResizable(false);

        canvas = new Canvas();
        canvas.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
        //Set size to pass in with dimension
        canvas.setFocusable((false));
        add(canvas);
        pack();
        //Add canvas to display & calculate size of display frame

        setLocationRelativeTo (null);
        //To open frame in the center of screen as opposed to side
        setVisible(true);

    }

}

Launcher.java
public class Launcher {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display( width: 800, height: 600);
    }

}

A: The initialization of the Display object in your Launcher class isn't valid syntax. This would be the proper way to initialize it:
Display display = new Display(800, 600);

Notice the parameter names/identifiers are not used when passing values into the construction of the object.

A: width and height are parameter names. Java doesn't have named arguments, only positional arguments. In other words, drop the labels in the call to the constructor, and you should be OK:
public class Launcher {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display(800, 600);
    }
}

PRODUCT REF: STV-CL5
The Yeoman CL5 Multifuel stove is described as a "modern traditional" style stove which may be a little confusing until you see a picture of the machine. It does offer something for everybody, a traditional look with a modern twist, as well as being approved for use in smoke control areas. The heat output is between 2.5 kW and 7 kW creating a nominal 4.9 kW multifuel stove. It is not difficult to see why this machine is particularly popular and that is before you even begin to consider the enlarged viewing area. While many people still prefer the woodburning option, there is no doubt that demand for multifuel stoves is growing and the Yeoman CL5 Multifuel stove is certainly feeding that appetite.
As far as dimensions, the Yeoman CL5 Multifuel stove has a width of 435 mm, height of 542 mm and a depth of 325 mm and it weighs in at 93 kg. It has the latest in combustion systems, clean burn technology and an airwash system which ensures that the viewing area is always clear. There is also a top or rear flue option with measurements of 128 mm (5 inches) and a stainless steel handle which has a self-locking function for improved safety. This machine also comes with a riddling grate which allows the burning of smokeless fuels that further enhance the environmental attractions of the Yeoman CL5 Multifuel stove.
We live in a day and age where tradition and modern technology often go head to head but in the stove industry tradition with a modern twist goes down very well. The Yeoman CL5 Multifuel stove is perfect for small to medium-size rooms and will certainly take the edge off those cold winter nights. So, sit back, watch the flickering flames, relax and drift off into a different world, far away from the stresses of everyday life. What more could you ask for?

Q: Entity Framework with a very large and complex dataset I would appreciate it very much if you can help me with my questions:
Is EF5 reliable and efficient enough to deal with very large and complex dataset in the real world?
Comparing EF5 with ADO.NET, does EF5 requires significantly more resources such as memory?
For those who have tried EF5 on a real world project with very large and complex dataset, are you happy with the performance so far?

A: As EF creates an abstraction over the data access. Usage of EF introduces number of additional steps to execute any query. But there are workarounds to reduce the cost. As MS is promoting this ORM, i believe they are doing  alot for performance improvement as well. EF 6 beta is already out.
There is good article on performance of EF5 available on MSDN for this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh949853
I will not use EF if lot of complex manipulations and iterations are required on the DBsets after populating the DBSets from the EF query.
Hope this helps.

A: EF is more than capable of handling large amounts of data. Just as in plain ADO.NET, you need to understand how to use it correctly. Its just as easy to write code in ADO.NET that performs poorly. Its also important to remember that EF is built on top of ADO.NET.
DBSets will be much slower with large amounts of data than a code first EF approach. Plain Datareaders could be faster if done correctly.
The correct answer is 'profile'. Code some large objects and profile the differences.

A: I did some research into this on EF 4.1 and some details might still apply though there have been upgrades in performance to EF5 to keep in mind.
ADO vs EF performance
My conclusions:
-You won't match ADO performance with a framework that has to generate the actual SQL statement dynamically from C# and turn that sql statement into a strongly typed object, there is simply too much going on, even with pre compiled and 'warmed' statements (and performance tests conclude this). This is a happy trade off for many who find it much easier to write and maintain Linq in C# than stored procs and mapping code.
-You can still use stored procedures with equal performance to ADO which to me is the perfect situation. You can write linq to sql in situations where it works, and as soon as you would like more performance, write the sproc and import it to EF to enjoy the best performance possible.
-There is no technical reason to avoid EF accept for the requirements of your project and possibly your teams knowledge and comfort level. Be sure to make sure it fits into your selected design pattern.. EF Anti Patterns to avoid
I hope this helps.


According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the second most common cancer among men and women and the leading cause of death in the United States. In 2014, it is estimated that 224,210 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer. Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center was selected as the only cancer facility in New Jersey to offer a clinical study on a new lung cancer investigational drug called Nivolumab, which is made by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Pictured left to right: Myron Bednar, M.D., Medical Oncologist at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center and Daria Shepherd, the first patient at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center to be included into the clinical trial for Nivolumab.
Daria Shepherd of Kingwood Township was diagnosed with advanced stage lung cancer in December. Ms. Shepherd had gone to her family doctor because of a pain she was having on her side. An ultrasound showed that the pain was the result of a cyst on her ovary, but the test also found a spot on her lung. A chest scan and a biopsy determined it was cancer. "I started chemotherapy, but it wasn't effective for my type of cancer, so Dr. Bednar thought I would be an ideal candidate for the Nivolumab clinical trial," stated Ms. Shepherd. Shepherd added, "This is my second week receiving the drug and I feel good, it has not had any side effects that have interfered with my life." In fact, Ms. Shepherd was heading out to Spruce Run to fish with her family after her treatment.
Pictured left to right: Kathy Robbins, RN, MSN, OCN, Clinical Research Nurse at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center works closely with patients on clinical trials. Kathy talks to Daria Shepherd and provides comfort and education during her treatment at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center.
Through Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center's partnership with Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, physicians have access to many clinical research trials, which are administered by specially trained staff. Current trials offered at Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center include new treatment protocols for lung cancer, breast, gastrointestinal cancers, as well as lymphoma and melanoma.

«Кафка на пляже» — девятый роман японского писателя Харуки Мураками, издан в 2002 году. Книга содержит 49 глав.

Включён в список 10 лучших романов 2005 года The New York Times и награждён Всемирной премией фэнтези.

Авторы перевода романа на русский язык — Иван и Сергей Логачёвы.

Сюжет
В центре произведения — две судьбы, подростка Кафки Тамура, убежавшего из дома от мрачного пророчества своего отца, и старика Накаты. На судьбы героев, жителей Японии второй половины XX века, влияют пророчества, посланцы потустороннего мира и кошки.

Кафка Тамура, имеющий прозвище Ворон, в день своего пятнадцатилетия убегает из дома из-за не складывающихся отношений с отцом.
Тот ещё в детстве высказывает пророчество, перекликающееся с греческим мифом об Эдипе, что его сын будет жить с матерью и сестрой (они ушли из семьи, когда мальчику было 4 года) и убьёт своего отца. Уехав из Токио, района Накано, он оказывается в городе Такамацу на юге японских островов, и берёт себе новое имя — Кафка.

Параллельно развивается сюжет о Накате — человеке, который в конце 1940-х годов, будучи ещё мальчиком, оказался свидетелем приземления инопланетного летательного аппарата, после чего получил ряд паранормальных способностей, однако заплатил за это отставанием в умственном развитии. В описываемое время он тоже живёт в Накано, получая небольшую пенсию по инвалидности. Кроме кошек, с которыми он может общаться с такой же лёгкостью, как обычные люди — между собой, у него нет ни друзей, ни близких. Благодаря своему уникальному дару Наката может разыскать на улице сбежавшую из дома кошку, и выполнение таких заданий составляет немалую часть его заработка.

В Такамацу Кафка Тамура встречает людей, которые принимают участие в его судьбе, — парня Осиму, директора частной библиотеки Саэки-сан и девушку Сакуру. Он влюбляется в Саэки-сан, хотя и считает её своей матерью, Сакуру же — своей сестрой.

Наката случайно убивает отца Тамуры, Охотника на Кошек, который называет себя «Джонни Уокер», и в это же время Кафка обнаруживает себя без сознания в парке, испачканного кровью.

Наката начинает долгий путь из Токио в Такамацу, а Кафка разбирается в перипетиях судьбы Саэки-сан. Повинуясь велению потусторонних сил, Наката открывает проход в неизвестный мир, и через этот проход Кафка попадает в поселение вне времени, где встречает людей, покинувших этот мир. Тем не менее он выбирает реальность, проход закрывается, а Наката умирает. Умирает и Саэки-сан.

Кафка Тамура, не избежав пророчества отца, тем не менее находит свой путь в жизни и возвращается в Токио.

Герои романа

Главные герои
 Кафка Тамура — подросток из Токио, Нагано. В детстве его мать бросила семью и ушла вместе с сестрой. С отцом практически не общался;
 Сатору Наката — слабоумный старик, который не умеет читать и не умеет писать, но обладает сверхъестественными способностями: общаться с кошками (впоследствии утратил эту способность), лечить людей (вылечил спину Хосино, дальнобойщика), предсказывать будущее (падение рыбы и пиявок с неба).

Остальные герои
 Осима — работник библиотеки, который подружился с Тамурой и помогал ему. Считает себя мужчиной, но биологически является женщиной.
 Саэки-сан — управляющая библиотеки, которая в молодости пережила смерть возлюбленного, после чего «закрылась» в себе, написала песню «Кафка на пляже» и книгу про людей, которые пережили удар молнией.
 Хосино — дальнобойщик, случайно на стоянке встретил Накату и стал ему помогать.

The BaleHaus® at Bath has moved from its previous location to a new site 80m away from its original home. The University of Bath needed the original BaleHaus® site to be vacated to create space for a new 5 storey education block to be built.
The original BaleHaus® at Bath was completed and opened by Kevin McCloud, of Grand Designs, in 2009. It has been used as a research building for the ModCell® straw bale panel system. The research recorded data every 15 minutes from within the ModCell® panels and the building as a whole. Other research included hurricane testing and identifying the reduced heating requirement due to the super-insulated nature of the ModCell® panels. Numerous other research testing has also been completed.
Due to the modular nature of the ModCell® system and the desire to not lose this innovative building, it was decided to dismantle the BaleHaus® and re-assemble it in its new location. The stated aims were to reuse and recycle as much of the building materials as possible, whilst also proving the ability to relocate buildings using the ModCell® system.
As the timber cladding was being removed, the new sites foundations were being laid. The ModCell® panels were detached from each other and moved, via a tele-handler, to a temporary storage area next to the new site. The new site had a number of trees that were under protection, so great care and planning was taken to ensure that they were in no danger.
As previously mentioned the stated aim of the project was to re-use and recycle as much of the original buildings materials as possible.
Recycled and re-used materials:
100% of the ModCell® panels
100% of the roof deck and wood fibre insulation
100% of the internal walls and timber beams
100% of the internal floor between ground floor and first floor,
100% of the windows and doors
75% of the original timber cladding - this was used on three faces of the building, the 25% of new timber cladding was applied to one face of the BaleHaus - you can see this in the picture slide show above
The original site foundations were broken up and used as hard core for the new 5 storey education block
The BaleHaus® at Bath is now being used by the University as an office building. The BaleHaus® now has a cloakroom, kitchen and a variety of differant size office spaces. A palette of bright colours has been used throughout the building to create a vibrant work space.
The building will continue to be monitored as part of the ongoing research by ModCell® and the University.

Companies, including retailer Foot Locker (FL) and food producer J.M. Smucker (SJM), reported their quarterly results Friday morning. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index and the Conference Board's leading indicators reading will be released just after the open.
Trading volume has been low over the past few days, with vacation season at its height and little news out of Europe.
U.S. stocks closed higher Thursday following strong earnings from Cisco Systems (CSCO) and a mixed bag of economic data.
World Markets: European stocks rose slightly in midday trading. Britain's FTSE 100 ticked up 0.1%, the DAX in Germany added 0.2% and France's CAC 40 was flat.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated late Thursday that European policymakers are committed to doing everything they can to support the euro, reigniting hope for further central bank action.

I grew up dancing in The Nutcracker ballet every year so obviously the first thing that came to mind when I saw this plum and fuchsia colored holiday dress was the sugar PLUM fairy! Certain occasions, such as going to the theater, call for holiday glitz. Kate Spade New York's Glitzeville earrings add sparkle for extra glam. It's a simple rule I follow during the holiday season: add sparkle whenever necessary…Which is always! My little Everly watched me put them on and said, "Wow momma!" and couldn't resist brushing her fingers through them while they twinkled in the light (you HAVE to watch the video below of her doing this). I hope she grows up to be a mini me!
Also, who else is excited to see The Nutcracker and the Four Realms?! I'm an avid Nutcracker ballet lover so I hope I love it! Click here to see a preview of the movie.
OH MY GOSH! My website should be called The Sugared Plum during the holidays! Ha ha!
Have a lovely and sweet day.
« Fall Pumpkin, Pinecone, and Leaf Mini Cakes!
Plum is such a beautiful color. Nice dress btw.
Such a gorgeous holiday dress and I am loving the color, so beautiful for Fall!
Oh wow, what a perfect holiday dress! Such a pretty color and that bag is really cool too!
I love this color on you! It's so different for the holidays, and I love the pumps too.
Wowowow your dress is really beautiful!!
I'm obsessed with your whole look! This clutch is perfect! I need it! I wish I knew about it a few days ago! I have a holiday party this week and this would of been perfect! You dress is gorgeous!
Such a cute and versatile dress! I love it for the holidays!
Obsessed with this outfit! Totally agree with changing your website name during the holidays that is too cute!
Plum is such an underrated color for the holidays. Personally, I think it might be one of my favs. It's unexpected and it's such a rich color for holiday festivities. Add lace to the look, and you're set. Seriously such a gorgeous dress for the season.
Cutest sugar plum fairy dress ever! 🙂 I mean the deep color adding that lovely clutch make a great combo!

Entrepreneur Of The Year Philippines is a program of the SGV Foundation, Inc., with the participation of co-presenters Department of Trade and Industry, the Philippine Business for Social Progress, and the Philippine Stock Exchange.
TRUST and integrity have always been essential qualities in the financial industry. These values are what motivated Atty. Francis Ganzon, 67, when he took over Bangko Kabayan, a private development bank dedicated to improving and empowering small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
After graduating from the Ateneo de Manila College of Law, and working as an associate lawyer, Mr. Ganzon left his legal career to help save his father-in-law's business, the Ibaan Rural Bank, Inc. (IRB). The IRB was in the middle of a bank run with bank personnel involved in fraud cases. "My father-in-law said my only concern is to regain the trust of the people and to make sure everything is done properly," recalls Mr. Ganzon.
Mr. Ganzon started by replacing the staff, and actively working to regain the trust of the bank's depositors. "I went to different barangays to campaign, promising a different management style and telling people about the importance of a rural bank," he recounts. The bank started focusing on instilling professionalism and becoming more people-centered. It generated funds by selling off real and other properties acquired from loans on which clients defaulted. Deposit generation became the IRB's primary target. It took IRB 10 years to once again operate as a stable rural bank.
Mr. Ganzon believes in building meaningful relationships with clients. This is inspired by a faith community called the Focolare Movement. "They have this concept called the Economy of Communion," he reveals. "It promotes a practice of businesses being used as a tool to help the poor." This led to the establishment of Ibaan Rural Bank Foundation, with the purpose of extending micro-credit and scholarship programs for poor but deserving students and sponsoring community-building seminars.
The 1997 Asian financial crisis affected more than 50% of the bank's portfolio. "The only reason we did not close is because we had a strong deposit base. Our customers saw us as an institution to believe in," discloses Mr. Ganzon. In the same year, the bank celebrated its 40th anniversary and renamed itself Bangko Kabayan.
They then decided to make it one of their main products. This created a "collateral of trust": the bank trusts the people it gives out loans to and, in return, those clients trust the bank to look out for their best interests. He said the bank saw the social impact of microfinancing and how it improved and empowered the lives of people and small enterprises. After that, Bangko Kabayan changed its vision to become the preferred SME credit provider in the region, opening 23 branches in the provinces of Batangas, Quezon and Laguna.
Bangko Kabayan prides itself with its reputation as a "good neighbor" in the community. Mr. Ganzon instills the value of personalized service to differentiate his team from commercial banks. They also serve as community centers where depositors come to socialize.
One of the challenges Bangko Kabayan faces is that foreign banks are pushing commercial banks out to the provinces. Mr. Ganzon said the bank will continue expanding in Region IV. He considers the Association of Southeast Asian Nations integration as another challenge. He realizes that big agricultural firms will affect local SMEs and Bangko Kabayan but sees this as an opportunity to help the bank's clients with additional development financing.
The next phase for Bangko Kabayan is to build a balanced portfolio of loans and treasury revenues, as well as to invest in more technology, especially Internet banking.
Bangko Kabayan has been recognized for various achievements. In 2007, it received the Best Capital Build-up in the Landbank Awards and was included in the Global Top 100 of Microfinance Information Exchange. It was named the outstanding Land Bank of the Philippines partner bank in the region from 2008 to 2011 and again in 2013 and 2015. Bangko Kabayan received the Microenterprise Access to Banking Services' MF EAGLE Award from 2003 to 2007 and again in 2010 and 2011.


With Christmas just around the corner, it's a fact that everyone rolls, bends and twists to come up with the best decoration for the holiday season. Same seems to be the case with the world's most expensive gingerbread house (in Gothenburg, Sweden), where the big day is gonna be nothing short of special, as the home-shaped delicacy with a chocolate & sweet pasta frame, gingerbread exterior, marzipan plates and caramel windows is definitely mouth-watering.
With an impressive ceiling height that stretches at 50 cm, an entrance leading into the main building with rooms stuffed with gourmet materials, an English-rich styled library, a crystal blue lake with a marzipan bridge site and a carport with room for the two cars, bidding for the year's yummiest abode ever starts at 35,000 SEK, or close to 3,000 Euro.

That color is amazing. In one photo it even looks like there is a stiff little hair right above the left eye! What great shots.
What a sparkling gem that is!
Beauty of the minuscule green gold beetle.
@ Ice Swimmer, this one is not so minuscule. It is almost 3 cm big, so I guess it is huge by beetle standards. These are fierce predators, they prawl the grass jungle (mostly in the night) and devour prey even bigger than themselves.
