We have already taken a look at five cool features of the upcoming Android L release that you can get right now, but we've also come across a couple of others that do a lot of the transformation work for you. So if you want the Android L look on your device, say hello to the Moonshine Icon Pack, and the IdeaL Theme Light.
The Moonshine Icon Pack has almost 400 icons based on the existing Moonshine icons and what we've seen of Material Design in the L preview and during Google I/O. This is a massive effort considering I/O was only held about a week before this app was uploaded to the Play Store. The icon pack also has some nice original wallpapers, including the one seen in the Android L developer preview, and more added to the cloud picker, so you don't need an update to get the new ones.
Considering the amount of work done is such a short amount of time it stands to reason that the developer will continue the hard work and add more icons and wallpapers as time permits. So if you want a quick and easy solution for an entirely new look on your phone, grab the Moonshine Icon Pack and be sure to rate and review it in the Play Store.
To install IdeaL Theme Light, you are going to need a custom ROM with the CyanogenMod 11 theme engine and root access. This may seem like a lot of work for some, but the Android L effect created is really something. Featuring an overhauled framework and systemUI, with custom animations, fonts, wallpapers and icons, all based on what we had seen in the Android L developer preview - this app is nothing if not comprehensive. It borrows a lot of elements from other designers (including the Moonshine Icon pack detailed above), but all of the various aspects are brought together seamlessly. Check out the pictures below to see it in action.
Do you like Google's new colorful and playful aesthetic? How often do you change the look of your phone?
Hey Mark, check your battery stats in Settings and see if the theme is the cause of your battery drain. If it is, let everyone here know!
yes great theme brings a new fresh look & feel. Only thing I don't like so far is the keyboard - doesn't feel right not having any 'dividers' between the letters.
I use IdeaL with the "Durgon" Icon pack and Smart launcher (6 icons) on my LG G2.
I have the theme on my Oneplus One and I guess the theme already includes the icons from moonshine icon pack.
Wow. I want that ideal theme light. What a beautiful material ui.
this is joke, my G2 isn't compatible with the Ideal Time Light - Android L when I want to download it, or does I must root my phone?
To install IdeaL Theme Light, you are going to need a custom ROM with the CyanogenMod 11 theme engine and root access.
That's a massive change! Do you know anyone with a Nexus you could try out? One way to tell if the Nexus might be for you is to think about how many of Samsung's software and hardware features you use, because you won't get any of those on a Nexus. I just wrote a comparison between the Nexus 5 and Galaxy S5 which highlights the big differences. There's a video coming up tomorrow too if that's more your style.
For me nothing come close to velur icon's... Which are your favorite admin???
I had been using Glasklart for a while and recently switched to Moonshine icon pack, which I'm digging for now.
That always happens when you install a new launcher. Basically, the new launcher doesn't know where you like your stuff unless you import the layout etc from an old launcher. If you were using the Google Now launcher previously you'd just import from that launcher to get the same set up.


Rounding is an important topic for elementary school students to master – and one that they will use later in life as well. By the time students have reached the fifth grade, they should be able to round numbers to the nearest tens, hundreds, and thousands. You can teach your students the concept and importance of rounding by using this lesson plan.
"You're at the store, and you find a toy that costs $1.99. When you come home, your mother asks you how much the toy was, and you tell her 'It was about two dollars.' Why did you say that? Why didn't you say 'It was about one dollar?' After all, it cost a dollar, plus another ninety-nine cents, right?"
Let students discuss the answer to this question. They should realize that $1.99 is much closer to two dollars than to one dollar. Explain that when you say that an object costing $1.99 costs two dollars, you are actually rounding. Tell students that rounding is when you find an "easier" number that is the whole number you are thinking of. Tell students that in the above example, you were rounding "to the nearest dollar," and you rounded up to two dollars.
Explain to students that when you round, you essentially find a number that has fewer non-zero digits. Start by discussing how to round to the nearest ten. Draw a large number line on the board with the numbers 10, 20, and 30 circled and larger than the rest. Then write a number on the board, such as 18. Ask students which two "big" numbers 18 is between, and they should answer 10 and 20. Then have them identify which of the two "big" numbers 18 is closer to. It would be useful to have a number line available to help the students decide. (They should answer "20.") Discuss with them the fact that they have just rounded up.
Give each student ten small objects as manipulatives, such as beans. Point to the number 18 again, and tell them "Let's see how many numbers we would have to add in order to get to twenty." Then count out two beans and say out loud "Nineteen…twenty – I needed two beans. Now let's see how many numbers we would have to subtract in order to get to ten. (Count aloud) seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, and ten. I needed eight beans to get to ten." Inform students that they should round to the number that needed the fewest beans – in this case, twenty. Let them use the number line together with the beans to help them round several more numbers individually or in small groups. This review activity is particularly helpful for kinesthetic learners and other learners who benefit greatly from manipulatives.
Give students a list of numbers to round to the nearest ten. If students are able to round these numbers successfully, they have mastered the concept. You can also circulate during the individual/group practice and listen to students to see whether they can round successfully. Keep in mind that this rounding numbers lesson plan can be repeated to teach the concept of rounding to the nearest hundred, thousand, and more, but you should make sure to review the concept of place value first.
Math is a lot more than just crunching number, even at the elementary school level. This series contains several different lesson plans that math teachers can use in their classrooms.


Icelandics are one of the "purest" horse breeds, known for their strength, agility, spirit, adaptability and sure-footedness. Horses first arrived in Iceland during the 9th century with the Viking settlers from Norway and the Celtic settlers from the British Isles. Since 1100, the import of horses into Iceland has been forbidden by law, ensuring the purity of the bloodlines. Today, breeding of registered Icelandic horses is carefully monitored by the world governing associations. They are steady and safe under saddle and always eager to please.
The Icelandic horse is renowned for its five natural gaits; walk, trot, tölt, canter and pace. Most interesting to Americans is the tölt, a very smooth four beat gait, similar to the rack of the Tennessee Walker or Paso Fino. It is very comfortable for trekking but can also be performed at high speeds. Some Icelandics have a fifth gait called the flying pace or passe. In the flying pace, hooves on the same side of the horse touch the ground together. There is a moment of suspension when all hooves are off of the ground and the rider appears to be "flying." The pace is performed at top speed of up to 30 miles per hour.
Perhaps most endearing is the Icelandic's temperament; friendly, calm and trustworthy. Icelandics are always happy to greet their humans and easily amenable to the task at hand. The Icelandic Horse Breed is a cultural icon in Iceland, where the sport of riding brings in more money to the economy than all other sports but soccer. With 320,000 people (fewer than in Des Moines) and 80,000 horses, there is a horse for every family in Iceland. Harmony Icelandics hopes to bring more of these special horses to Iowa.
The Icelandic is small but mighty. Although they are usually only 13-14 hands tall, these little horses are strong and hardy.
The Viking parliament forbade horse imports to Iceland, resulting in purebred and nearly disease-free Icelandic Horses for more than 1,000 years (and counting!).
The Icelandic Horse can perform five gaits: walk, trot, tölt, canter and pace. The tölt is exceptionally smooth and covers ground quite quickly!
Icelandic horses have become popular for their easy-going and friendly temperament.
Once and Icelandic horse leave the country, it can never return to Iceland.
Genetically, the Icelandic shows some similarities to the Mongolian Horse and shares ancestors with the Shetland, Connemara and Highland ponies. Their ancestors first came to Iceland around 900 AD with Viking settlers.


Scott's bond with his mother runs deep. He's seen her struggle. He's hoping an NFL career can help pay her back.
LJ Scott's mother loves her drive home from work through Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio. It's an oasis in an otherwise depressed and shrinking industrial town. She's been going there since she was a child.
She likes her job as a home health aide, taking care of those who can no longer take care of themselves.
"I think that's my calling," his mother, Lachelle Steele, says.
Scott thinks it's about time someone starts taking care of her instead.
Scott is close to being able to reward his mother for her resolve in the face of constant struggle, for her unconditional love, for always making her children her priority, right through last December, when he told her he was leaning toward returning to MSU for his senior football season.
Scott is the signature recruit of the Mark Dantonio era at Michigan State, the first Ohio kid coveted by Ohio State to choose the Spartans over the Buckeyes. For a program driven in no small part by Ohio players, landing Scott was a significant moment.
He's mostly delivered, including a spinning, leaning, reaching touchdown to beat Iowa in the 2015 Big Ten championship game that sent MSU to the College Football Playoff, one of the great moments in Spartan football history.
He's also had a few hiccups — fumbles primarily. His 2017 season will be remembered largely for four fumbles in the first five games (notably in the end zone against Notre Dame) and then a well-publicized arrest for driving without license and the hubbub that followed.
"It was rough, because I watched social media run him down in the ground like he was the worst person on earth," said Steele, who rarely heeds her son's advice to avoid social media.
On the field, Scott rushed for more than 100 yards three times and showed flashes of the talent that's drawn comparisons to former MSU star Le'Veon Bell. But he and MSU's other rushers were also limited by a young offensive line that couldn't get a regular push against upper-tier Big Ten opponents.
In all, Scott rushed for a modest 898 yards on 201 carries and eight touchdowns at 4.5 yards per carry, nearly a full yard less per attempt than his sophomore season in 2016. It's unclear where he would have been chosen in the NFL draft, perhaps the middle rounds at best. He might have tested well with NFL teams. He has the frame, the burst, the wiggle in a phone booth to play at the next level.
Scott is uncomfortable sharing the details of the low moments of his childhood.
There were days when she forgot to eat. Months when she didn't know how she'd cover the rent. Years when new school shoes for her four kids meant budgeting months in advance.
She's proud of how she navigated the struggle.
For LJ, whose first name is Larry, that also meant realizing his mother was alone in that battle. His father, the man he's named after, was in the home less and less and then not at all.
"They knew this man, but they always saw just me," Steele said.
Last August, as I interviewed LJ in the MSU football building, his teammates walked behind us, playfully mocking him, "Lar-ry, Lar-ry." They knew he didn't like the name. But did they know why?
If this all sounds like a brutal upbringing, Scott would argue he's blessed.
Scott was lined up to attend a parochial football powerhouse high school in Youngstown, until he pestered his middle school history teacher into helping him go to high school in the town where the teacher lived instead.
"I'm a white suburban guy, never taught before, going into inner-city Youngstown," said Josh Barr, who taught Scott in both seventh and eighth grade. "I'm the third teacher for that class already. (One day) we BS'd for 20 minutes about everything and nothing. Luckily for me, he was the type of kid all the other kids followed. I was just working off nervous energy. He made my life easier.
"There" was the nearby blue-collar suburb of Hubbard. Scott also convinced Barr to help his brother, Isiah — who's nine months younger, but in the same grade — get to Hubbard, too. The only condition was that Scott begin to behave around all of his teachers and classmates the way he did in Barr's class.
The first night in their new home, Steele called Barr to tell him she was drinking a glass of wine on the porch at 9 o'clock. She'd never been able to do that before. When she moved back to Youngstown after LJ and Isiah left for college, she did so to be near family and because she found a house with an indoor porch. "I shouldn't have moved back," she said.
At home, even if money was tight, there were fun times. LJ, his mother and siblings — an older brother, older sister and Isiah — would play games, like a makeshift version of the TV show "American Idol." One person would sing, the others would judge. LJ sang the same song almost every time, "Ignition," by R. Kelly.
"It was always that song for some reason," he said.
At MSU, he's found a platform to chase his dreams and friends to chase them with. Scott isn't alone among his teammates in wanting to give his family financially what they can only provide in love.
"That's that pressure for a lot of us," said senior safety Khari Willis, who joined Scott this week at Big Ten media days in Chicago and has been to Scott's home in Youngstown to visit. "Maybe some families are worse (off) than others. But, as a man, you want to take care of your family, see the women in your life happy, especially if it's your mom, if she raised you by herself, if you've seen her struggle. Maybe, at a young age, you didn't know what it meant. But as you grow and see, you know what it means. And if you have the opportunity to change that, you're going to want to take advantage of that.
Scott is 12th all-time on MSU's rushing list with 2,591 yards. He could realistically finish fourth on that list, behind only Lorenzo White, Javon Ringer and Tico Duckett.
Dantonio was impressed with how quickly and decisively Scott made the decision to return, making his intentions known at the Holiday Bowl in late December.
Scott might have decided differently if he didn't think MSU had the players around him to help him have that big year.
"Collectively as a team, we lost one guy up front, that's Brian Allen, a great lineman, but we've got his brother Matt Allen," Scott said. "We should be good as a team.
"Not to blow off the Holiday Bowl or anything, but it's time to get back to Spartan football.
And then taking care of mom.
"I'm doing everything I can to take care of my family," he said.

On Thursday, 28 January Kim? and the Center for the Cognitive Sciences and Semantics, University of Latvia, invited everyone to a lecture "Not Exactly: Vagueness as Original Sin?" by the world famous computational linguist and semanticist Kees van Deemter, who works at the Department of Computing Science, University of Aberdeen.
Not everything is black and white. Our daily lives are full of vagueness or fuzziness. Language is the most obvious example – for instance, when we describe someone as tall, it is as though there is a particular height beyond which a person can be considered 'tall'. Likewise the terms 'blond' or 'overweight' in common usage.
The talk, which is intended for non-specialist and specialists alike, will demonstratie the generality of the phenomenon of vagueness, in science as well as in daily life. In some ways, it is like Original Sin: a stain that can be diminished but never removed. The probabilistic approaches to vagueness have the future; however, this paradigm shift will come at a price. For if vagueness is taken seriously then life gets complicated – we will be expelled from Boole's Paradise, where every statement was either true or false.
This talk is related to van Deemter's book "Not Exactly: In Praise of Vagueness", which was released on 28 January, 2010 by the Oxford University Press. In the book van Deemter uses familiar everyday examples in a wide-ranging discussion touching on symbolic logic, game theory, computing, and biology. Van Deemter looks at challenges arising from this very human way of thinking and expression.


Roaring into town — Can you hear it? The HOGs are on their way.
The Louisiana Harley Owners Group is headed to Houma for its annual rally, which starts Thursday and runs through Saturday.
For those three days, the local streets will be teeming with Harleys, and their owners will be enjoying a healthy dose of local hospitality.
It is great to think that such a gathering — with an estimated 2,000 motorcycle enthusiasts attending — has chosen our region for its rally.
Officer of the Year — Detective Brad Cadiere is a credit to the Houma Police Department.
And now he has a little of the credit in return.
Cadiere was recently named Officer of the Year by the department and was recognized this week by the Terrebonne Parish Council.
Those are high words of praise, and they are well-deserved.
For his part, Cadiere said his job is tough but rewarding.
An impressive award — Theresa Plaisance has had an incredible season, and it will continue today.
As part of the LSU women's basketball team, Plaisance was named earlier this week to The Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference First Team and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's All-Region Team.
A junior forward, Plaisance is a former standout at Vandebilt Catholic and the daughter of Nicholls State women's head coach DoBee Plaisance.
Her team from LSU will take on California today in Spokane, Wash., in the third round of the NCAA women's tournament.
Good luck, not that Plaisance and her teammates will need luck if they play with all their talent.
On top in the ring — Morgan "Big Chief" Fitch recently returned to the area.
A native of Raceland, Fitch has been in Pennsylvania training for the boxing ring.
His return, though, was a success.
He beat William Waters last week at Evergreen Civic Center to improve his record to 9-0.
It was a big win, but it surely won't be his last.


Two block cyclic reduction linear system solvers are considered and implemented using the OpenCL framework. The topics of interest include a simplified scalar cyclic reduction tridiagonal system solver and the impact of increasing the radix-number of the algorithm. Both implementations are tested for the Poisson problem in two and three dimensions, using a Nvidia GTX 580 series GPU and double precision floating-point arithmetic. The numerical results indicate up to 6-fold speed increase in the case of the two-dimensional problems and up to 3-fold speed increase in the case of the three-dimensional problems when compared to equivalent CPU implementations run on a Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU.

Levels of acceptance after the big reveal.
Thread starter Subtlerustle
What was your intimate partner's response after your ABDL reveal?
Totally on board including full on participation
Positive and kind but distinct boundaries
Positive but only in you're own company
Votes: 8 17.0%
Neutral. It's like the conversation never happened
Negative. Not happy but loves you no less
Negative. It's a third rail issue. Go there at your own risk
Negative. Played a part in ending the relationship
Subtlerustle
There appears to be a strong increase in our membership coming out to intimate partners. I'm hoping a poll can drill down into how the outcomes have played out.
By intimate partners, let's categorize them as spouses, partners, dating relationships, and heck, even just friends with benefits. I'm going with 3 levels on each side of the spectrum and one that's totally neutral. Let's see what the numbers bare and have some fun, even if it's at our own expense. If you've had more than one experience, you can vote for a few choices. Feel free to elaborate!
My apologies if this has already been done.

I'm not in a relationship, but I have decided that if that ever seems likely, I am going to lay some groundwork so that I don't have to hide this important and pleasurable part of my daily life.
I did have a housemate from 2005 -2010, and during that time, I just didn't wear diapers. I never even thought about telling her, and I can't imagine how I would have ever told her.
Now I can't imagine not being free to be in a diaper all the time.
My idea now is that I would make sure we talked about kinks or unusual important interests and see how things unfold from there. If I sensed the person was not open, then I would know not to go farther. Of course, that's theory; reality might be way different.

I love wearing nappies

I thought the same, I was shitting myself. Been married for 30 years, but one Saturday night, about 3 months ago, after a bottle of red between us, I just new it was the time, she was shocked, but ok, then it set in , a week of thinking about it, I thought I'd f*¥€d up 30 years. But my lovely wife said I'm not harming anyone or doing anything wrong. She's been fine. I don't wear as much as I'd like, but I'm happy knowing i can wear in front of here, albeit discreetly I thought I'd take my kink to the grave. You've got to do it. I feel like I've had a ton weight lifted from my shoulders, I can buy nappies, have them delivered, wear them, and she knows, it's fantastic. Good luck pal👍🏻

You can message me bud, if you like, be good to talk 👍🏻
I've come out to 3 long term partners, all positive results, all three became caretakers, controlling my nappy wearing.

3rd to the last word you said understandable
32 votes cast in less than one day. Let's keep it going. My vote was for number two. My wife is kind and understanding but not interested in participating beyond wearing freely around her. It was an evolutionary process given I first explained my DL in a ham handed manner. Being a child of the late 60's the internet came in my late twenties so I was a few decades late to understanding ABDL myself. It always was shrouded in shame as a youth. I thought I was the only one that took pleasure and comfort in wearing a diaper. Timing is everything.
BobaFettish
When I first "came out of the nursery" to someone it was my partner at the time and eventually my wife.
About two months into our relationship I asked her where was the deepest darkest dirtiest place she went in her mind when she was on the edge of climaxing to push her over that edge. She told me she fantasized about threesomes. I'm like okay let's do it, let's make it happen. Then she turned the question on me. I told her that I trusted her, and told her about wearing diapers and such. The next day she was right next to me in line at a drugstore buying Attends (I'm that old). We explored a lot. In fact it was her idea for me to mess my diaper and her change it.
I've had eight Bigs over the years. Five of them were Vanillas I converted and three have been from the community.
With the five Vanillas I flipped, I more or less used the same gambit. It's got me into some fun stuff. I think being excited to be a part and help make their fantasies come true, makes them more open to being reciprocal.

Q: Background Threads and Tasks I'm trying to find the best way to run a Task from a dedicated background thread.
The context of usage is consuming from a Kafka topic and raising an async event handler to handle the ConsumeResult<TKey, TValue> instance.
A Kafka Consumer (the consumer instance below) blocks the thread until a message is consumed or the  CancellationToken it is passed has been cancelled.
consumeThread = new Thread(Consume)
{
    Name = "Kafka Consumer Thread",
    IsBackground = true,
};

This is the implementation of the Consume method I came up with, which is started by the dedicated thread above:
private void Consume(object _)
{
    try
    {
        while (!cancellationTokenSource.IsCancellationRequested)
        {
            var consumeResult = consumer.Consume(cancellationTokenSource.Token);

            var consumeResultEventArgs = new ConsumeResultReceivedEventArgs<TKey, TValue>(
                consumer, consumeResult, cancellationTokenSource.Token);

            _ = Task.Run(async () =>
            {
                if (onConsumeResultReceived is null) continue;

                var handlerInstances = onConsumeResultReceived.GetInvocationList();
                foreach (ConsumeResultReceivedEventHandler<TKey, TValue> handlerInstance in handlerInstances)
                {
                    if (cancellationTokenSource.IsCancellationRequested) return;
                    await handlerInstance(this, consumeResultEventArgs).ConfigureAwait(false);
                }

            }, cancellationTokenSource.Token);
        }
    }
    catch (OperationCanceledException)
    {

    }
    catch (ThreadInterruptedException)
    {

    }
    catch (ThreadAbortException)
    {
        // Aborting a thread is not implemented in .NET Core.
    }
}

I'm not sure this is the recommened way to run a Task from a dedicated Thread, so any advice would be very much appreciated.

A: It's not clear to me why you need a dedicated thread at all. The code as it currently stands starts a thread and then that thread blocks for consumption and then raises the event handler on a thread pool thread.
The _ = Task.Run idiom is a "fire and forget", which is dangerous in the sense that it will silently swallow any exceptions from your event raising code or event handlers.
I'd recommend replacing Thread with Task.Run, and just raising the event handlers directly:
consumeTask = Task.Run(ConsumeAsync);

private async Task ConsumeAsync()
{
  while (true)
  {
    var consumeResult = consumer.Consume(cancellationTokenSource.Token);
    var consumeResultEventArgs = new ConsumeResultReceivedEventArgs<TKey, TValue>(
        consumer, consumeResult, cancellationTokenSource.Token);

    if (onConsumeResultReceived is null) continue;

    var handlerInstances = onConsumeResultReceived.GetInvocationList();
    foreach (ConsumeResultReceivedEventHandler<TKey, TValue> handlerInstance in handlerInstances)
    {
      if (cancellationTokenSource.IsCancellationRequested) return;
      await handlerInstance(this, consumeResultEventArgs).ConfigureAwait(false);
    }
  }
}

REVIEW: FRAGONARD IN LOVE
By Patricia Boccadoro
PARIS, 21 NOVEMBER 2015 — The Luxembourg Museum is currently hosting a superb exhibition of the 18th century French painter, Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), entitled Fragonard in Love. It aims to present love in the artist's works as it evolved through the decades, with the popularity of libidinous works fading as the century drew to a close. It is less an exhibition of Fragonard's personal life which he kept highly private, as an exhibition revealing love in all its aspects, reflected in the selected eighty or so beautiful paintings, sketches and book illustrations on show. For Fragonard's works encompass every conceivable form of love and libertinage, from chivalric courtly love, romantic love, passion, seduction as well as to libidinous acts and possibly rape, all portrayed with elegance, style and, in the majority of cases, tenderness. Vulgarity is absent in even his most explicitly erotic works.
One of the outstanding masterpieces, The Kiss, completed in 1770, shows two young people totally wrapped up in each other. It is sensuous yet delicate and full of charm. The girl is more than willing and the scene presented is one of eternal love, harmonious and sincere. No cupids nor garlands of flowers distract one's eye, for there is nothing superfluous in the painting where forms and colours melt and fuse together. The work portrays just two rosy cheeked adolescents in love. As Fragonard himself was with his wife, the artist Marie-Anne Gérard, whom he married in 1769. Frago, as he liked to be called, was a happily married family man.
Born in Grasse in the South of France in 1732, the son of a glove-maker, Jean-Honoré moved to Paris with his parents at the age of 6, beginning his study of painting some 10 years later with Jean-Baptiste Chardin before becoming the pupil of François Boucher. At the age of 20, he won the prestigious Grand Prix from the French Royal Academy of Painting. He was later accepted there after spending 5 years at the Academy of France in Rome where he spent his time studying and copying masterpieces of the Italian collections. His work, from landscapes and historical paintings to portraits, exhibited at the Salon sold well. However, the central theme of much of his output was love and romance in whatever form it took.
But before one looks more closely at the "libertine stories" and explicit sketches illustrating the tales of Jean de la Fontaine, one is overwhelmed by the sensitivity and beauty of the paintings on display to which pride of place has been given.
Jean-Honoré Fragonard: L'Enjeu perdu ou le Baiser gagné, ca. 1760
L'Enjeu perdu ou le Baiser gagné, on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, depicts a game of cards where the stake is a kiss. The young girl on the left of the painting has visibly lost, and much against her inclination, forced by a second girl, she submits to the rough grab of the boy, a young shepherd judging by his hat and the beribboned crook cast aside on a chair behind them, who claims his due. A popular game at the time, it was nevertheless strongly denounced by many moralists including Rousseau. There is something slightly sadistic, even perverse in the evident pleasure the loser's companion takes in holding down her friend's wrists. The fascination with the work comes from the fact that the 'victim', whilst resisting, is not entirely innocent. It captures, as does The Kiss, an instant in time, imbuing the moment with poetry and emotion. Painted towards the end of Fragonard's stay in Rome and no doubt a private commission, the work is imbued with a soft light, while the visitor can only admire the delicate colouring evident not only there, but in much of the artist's later work.
Jean-Honoré Fragonard: Le Lever, ca. 1770
Ten years later, Le Lever, leaves no illusions as to the morals of the times. Two young girls, barely adolescents, are shamelessly exhibiting their attractions in the luxurious boudoir of a brothel. One, sprawled nonchalantly on her stomach, undergarments around her waist, flaunts her large, rosy round buttocks, leaving her companion, facing us, to lift her crumpled shift revealing her blond nakedness beneath. Neither is the presence of two little dogs as innocent as it looks, the message being one's right to sexual pleasure, at least to those who can afford it, inherent in the literature of the time.
In the 18th century, private spaces reserved for the enjoyment of pleasure appeared, the "boudoir" within the home, and the "petite maison" elsewhere. Some high class brothels, such as that run by Marguerite Gourdan on the rue Saint Sauveur in Paris, even had rooms of paintings and erotic prints to entertain their privileged clients, mainly aristocrats and financiers with their courtesans. Between 1760- 1770, Frago was the uncontested leader of this style.
"Never has a chaste girl read a novel", declared Rousseau in 1761, the year he published La Nouvelle Heloise, yet reading became more widely adopted despite moralists condemning the corruptive influence of novels and correspondence on women. It was the publication of Dangerous Liaisons by Chloderlos de Laclos in 1782, which spelled the literary end of libertinism. It was thus not surprising that before then, exchanges of correspondence appeared in the works of Fragonard, with their own romantic and deliciously forbidden significance.
Jean-Honoré Fragonard: Le Billet doux ou La Lettre d'Amour, early 1770s
In the sublime canvas, Le Billet doux ou La Lettre d'Amour, on loan from the Metropolitan Museum in New York, an elegant young lady is sitting alone in front of her writing desk clutching a bouquet of roses and tiny white flowers. She's holding a card as she glances out, shyly, slyly, defiantly. Her little dog, nestling on the back of her chair, glowers out in sympathy with his mistress while papers in front of her suggest an established correspondence with an absent lover.
Social context apart, the work is exceedingly beautiful, painted as it is with delicate shades of pink highlighting her cheeks, the roses, the ribbon in her hair, the dusky blue satin of her dress and the muted yellow of the curtains behind, the whole scene being yet again bathed in a soft, golden light.
The Bolt, or Le Verrou, as it was called by the artist, is perhaps his most famous and most ambiguous work. Commissioned by the Marquis de Véri, the painting is openly erotic, with a partially undressed young man dragging a reluctant young girl into a bedroom. The spectator cannot help but imagine what must come next. At least, that is one's initial reaction, with the girl trying to stop the man bolting the door. However, a glance at the unmade, rumpled bed suggests another story.
Jean-Honoré Fragonard: Le Verrou, 1777-1778
The two pillows have been slept upon, and a blanket has slipped to the ground. There is an apple on the bedside table and an overturned vase with a scattering of roses on the floor. Both are highly suggestive of a consummated sexual act, be it rape or a feverish mutual passion.
Fragonard was a bold and audacious illustrator of Jean Le Fontaine's tales, dedicating several series of drawings to the work in the 1760's, the largest, consisting of 57 pages being shown in the exhibition while from the end of the 1770's, in contrast, he produced a collection of allegorical romantic compositions exploring true love with the most delicate lyricism.
In an era of seduction, love and intrigue, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, with his growing reputation as a libertine and painter of dissolute intimate scenes, was its main illustrator and it is strange that in the country of his birth, he does not yet enjoy the same notoriety as a Monet, Renoir or Cezanne, whose names are household words. Fragonard's art spans half a century of artistic creativity with passion and elegance. He brought fresh sensitivity as well as sensuality to fashionable pastoral and mythical compositions, and completed many forceful, allusive "secret" works for licentious amateurs, not all of which were present in this exceptional exhibition.

India and France are today the leading nations in the fight against climate change. The joint hosting by India and France of the Founding Conference of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) on 11th March 2018 in New Delhi and the first General Assembly in New Delhi from 2nd to 5th October 2018 has bolstered our joint resolve to fight climate change.
The ISA has now transformed into a treaty based international and intergovernmental organization headquartered in India. Out of 71 countries that have signed Framework Agreement of the ISA, 48 countries have deposited the instrument of ratification. India and France share a common interest to cooperate and collaborate for the stability and prosperity of Africa, including through development oriented initiatives such as capacity building programs and joint projects.
The second India-France Dialogue on Africa, which took place on 11th December 2018, provided both countries an opportunity to exchange views on the latest developments in Africa as well as to explore possibilities for joint endeavour to contribute towards peace, stability and prosperity in Africa.
During the visit of French President Mr. Emmanuel Macron to India in March 2018, both leaders reiterated their willingness to implement common projects in Africa. Discussion on projects to be implemented on ground are currently being discussed by the two sides.


First light with my observatory just barely functioning in April 2016.
CDS-5D, Canon 200mm lens, 110 * 2mins , ISO800.
What a ripper of a comet! Another Christmas special discovered by Australian comet hunter Terry Lovejoy. In the days after Christmas I enjoyed a several late nights photographing this comet and its beautiful tail. So much fun but so much data my computer was grinding to a halt!
I've used a few modified Canon DSLR cameras over the years for my astrophotography, including an Astro40D from Central DS which I used for many years of widefield astrophotography including one of my favourite ever images of the Southern Cross region.
With a new home (at least part-time) under dark skies I decided it was time for an upgrade and took the plunge with the CDS-5D (see disclosure below). This is my review of the camera, which will be updated with more tests and images.
With this lunar eclipse starting low in the sky, I decided to try and capture an image sequence of the partial phases showing the type of photography that can be done with simple gear and 'night sky photography' techniques. After some on-line and on-ground scouting around my new home territory in central Victoria, I settled on the grand old Maryborough Railway Station as my location, which *just* allowed me the sight lines on the eclipse I needed, or at least so I thought from Google Earth and Streetview.
Partial Phases of Lunar Eclipse over Maryborough Station Canon 5D Mark II, 24-105mm lens at 82mm Nine exposures of the Moon each 1/90 sec, f/8, ISO200 stacked (using lighten blending mode) with one 2 second exposure of foreground.
Execution went mostly to plan and this result is close to what I had in mind, except that the car park and grounds at the station had been significantly reworked since Google Earth/Streetview was last there so that threw out my planning a little. I was using a tall ladder to gain a little extra clearance over the roof of the station, hoping to pick up an image of the Moon at the end of totality, but my compass alignment wasn't quite accurate enough and so that happened behind the clock tower. Still I wanted the action to be close to the tower and the centre of the frame so I'm happy with how this worked out. I have several other versions of the foreground during twilight to experiment with as well.

Cypress College to Mark 50th Anniversary with Rededication Ceremony
by Marc S. Posner on August 30, 2016
It is one of the beloved myths of Cypress College that on September 12, 1966, during the initial dedication ceremonies, the concrete that set the flagpole was so freshly laid that it could not bear the weight of the flag. … The concern, though, was not entirely misplaced as the physical campus of the College was constructed with astounding rapidity. Newsweek had even spotlighted Cypress College before a single class had graduated when it noted "For pure speed, though, Cypress Junior College probably holds the record. In just 74 days, Cypress hustled dairy cows off its 112-acre campus and installed eighteen prefabricated buildings and 2,300 students."
— Excerpt from "A Tree Grows in Cypress"
By Dr. Patricia Ganer
Please join us on Monday, September 12, 2016 — at the flagpole adjacent to Lot #1 — as we rededicate the College on its 50th anniversary. We will also mark the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The ceremony begins at 9:50 a.m. RSVP: (714) 484-7127.
ADVISORY: Monday's 50th anniversary rededication will include a three-volley gun salute performed by military members from the Joint Forces Training Base. No live ammunition will be used in the salute.

Say 'aloha' to Kuula Poké as Birmingham's first Hawaiian poké bar opens in Great Western Arcade next Monday
Kuula Poké is an exciting, new, fast-casual eatery, set to create an oasis of sunshine in the heart of Birmingham.
Poké (pronounced poh-kay) is a super-healthy cuisine originating from the far-flung islands of Hawaii, which typically combines sliced fresh fish such as sushi salmon and ahi tuna with sushi rice, fresh salad and tropical fruits.
Adding their own modern twist, Kuula Poké's chef-inspired signature dishes of Lomi Lomi Salmon, Classic Ahi Tuna, Tahini Miso Chicken and Huli Huli Tofu are a fusion of bright colours, vibrant flavours and nutritious ingredients. Gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options are always available.
Or you can choose to 'build-your-own' poké bowl, choosing from a base of white sushi rice, coconut brown rice and baby salad greens. Add sustainably sourced prime cuts of diced sushi-grade salmon or ahi tuna, delicately poached chicken breast or vegetarian and vegan choices such as huli huli tofu and smoked hickory carrot. Choose from a wide range of toppings including sliced tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple, superfood slaw, edamame beans, avocado, vegan coconut 'bacon' and the superfood wakame seaweed. Then, finish with a flourish of crunchy toppings such as crispy shallots and nori (dried seaweed) drizzled with their delicious signature sauces including yuzu ponzu, shoyu, tahini miso or, for added punch, sriracha or wasabi mayo.
Also serving breakfast from 7am, freshly baked croissants and nutritious acai bowls, topped with a range of delicious fruits, sauces and seeds will be the perfect healthy start to the day.
Felicity Whiston, the founder and Managing Director, fell in love with poké whilst working in Los Angeles. Inspired by the tastes and textures of these delectable island dishes, she spent one year researching poké, travelling first to Hawaii and then to Paris to create and test a range of uniquely flavoured dishes under the auspices of an award-winning poké chef.
Felicity says, "I'm proud and delighted to be opening Birmingham's first ever Hawaiian poké bar. Our aim is to help revolutionise Birmingham's typical lunchtime fare".
Whether you want poké as a grab-and-go, click-and-collect, eat-in or delivered to your home or business, Kuula Poké promises the finest Hawaiian poké with an ultra-modern twist.
Steve Hewlett from Retail Bid says, "we are looking forward to Kuula Poké opening in Great Western Arcade. With a truly unique offering, we are sure it will be a great success in the city centre".
So if you are a fan of clean living and want to enjoy sunshine in a bowl, look out for them on the corner of Great Western Arcade from next week.
Doors open at 11am on Monday 13th May 2019

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 gains 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package.
Comfortable ride quality
Cramped rear seats

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Price, Review, Ratings and Pictures
Updated on: February 2, 2022
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is almost similar to last year except for the addition of the 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package addition. The 2018 Camaro ZL1 starts at $61,500 and sees a price bump of $360 which is very reasonable. The Camaro ZL1 packs in a monstrous 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under its hood that belts out close to 650 horses and 650 lb-ft all to the rear wheels. While a choice of manual and automatic transmission has been given to suit a wider audience.
The 2018 Camaro ZL1 comes with a host of special add-ons and also is dimensionally bigger than the regular Camaro. The ride and handling of the Camaro ZL1 remain the best in the segment although cabin space and practicality remain its Achilles heel. But even after these weaknesses is the Camaro ZL1 with 3.5 seconds 0-60 mph sprint time worth over the rivals like the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and the Ford Shelby GT350? Let's find out.

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to put in simple words takes all the highs of the Camaro to next level. The Camaro ZL1 with the Corvette Z06 sourced supercharged V8 is a straight-line monster while with the upgraded suspension and adaptive dampers it rides and handles even better than the regular Camaro.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe Driving View
The base Camaro was low on cabin space and practicality which hasn't changed with the Camaro ZL1 although it is overlooked as in a track-ready car these are the lowest priority of a prospective buyer. While the seat comfort and overall ride experience have definitely improved with the upgraded seats and electric adjustment with heating and ventilation.

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the top-of-the-line and track-focused Camaro. It starts at $61,500 and gets a supercharged V8 under its hood mated to a six-speed manual as standard. A ten-speed automatic gearbox is available as an option here. The standard features list of the Camaro ZL1 is based on the regular Camaro in the SS and 2SS trim. The only major difference here is the engine that the ZL1 gets.

As the Camaro ZL1 is itself a trim there is nothing much to recommend here. As for the optional features the ZL1 is well-equipped in the base form and unless you are a serious track-race enthusiast there is no point in spending money on the 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package although standalone options like the sunroof, navigation, and performance exhaust can be had as per need.
"A true sports car in muscle car guise, the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro will go toe-to-toe with any performance rival and usually come out on top." - The Car Connection
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 borrows the Corvette Z06's 6.2-liter Supercharged V8 engine spitting out 650 horses and 650 lb-ft of torque. All that power gushes down to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic gearbox.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Engine
The Camaro ZL1 is the most powerful production Camaro to date. Both the transmission will satiate purist equally as using a stick shifter keeps things under control while the ten-speed auto is the one that can clock the fastest lap times. Thus the 2018 Camaro ZL1 is faster, meaner, and ready to race more than ever.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe
2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
6.2-liter Supercharged V8
There is no question as to who has the highest power and torque figures under its hood, yes you guessed it right it's the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat punching out a mammoth 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged V8. Another thing where the Dodge hits the chart is the price, the Challenger SRT Hellcat is the most expensive among the three and commands approximately three grand premium over the Camaro ZL1.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Acceleration
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 equipped with launch control and a slick-shifting six-speed manual does 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and completes a quarter-mile in just 11.8 seconds. While the Camaro ZL1 equipped with the ten-speed auto hits the 60 mph mark in 3.5 seconds and covers a quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds.
The supercharged V8 pulls 3,883 pounds heavy Camaro ZL1 like a locomotive with a seat pinning acceleration and a rolling burnout start, without launch control, on slamming the gas pedal.
0-60 MPH (sec)
Quarter-Mile (sec)
Critics had their eyes-pooped out when the Camaro ZL1 sprinted from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds beating the more powerful and expensive Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat by 0.3 seconds.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Ride and Handling
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has always remained a benchmark in handling between the three sports coupe. The 2018 Camaro ZL1 remains no different and it has a sure-footed feel at all kinds of speeds. Even in the base Camaro, the handling was among the best but the Camaro ZL1 with the upgraded hardware and aggressive tuning improves the handling even further. The steering wheel has sufficient heft to it and feels well connected to what's happening. Thus taking aggressive turns at silly speeds is bliss in the Camaro ZL1 although being hard on the throttle while exiting the curve could lead to a tailspin in no time.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Driving
The Camaro ZL1 gets a stiffer suspension with adaptive dampers for superior handling with a slight compromise over the ride quality. Overall the ride quality is a bit away from as plush as it is in the base Camaro but that's a sacrifice one has to make for superior handling. That said, the Camaro ZL1 1LE gets smaller size alloys but with a wider rubber section for an even better grip and a slightly improved ride quality over the Camaro ZL1.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Braking
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 can stop from 60-0 mph under panic braking in just 97 feet. The numbers are really impressive for a sports car weighing over 3,800 pounds. The Camaro ZL1 comes equipped with six-piston Brembo brake calipers at the front and four-piston Brembo brake calipers at the rear.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Brakes
That being said, the Camaro ZL1 with the automatic gearbox took one foot less to brake from 60-0 mph than the regular Camaro ZL1 while the Camaro ZL1 1LE will further astonish you with it stopping dead from 60-0 mph in just 91 feet.

60-0 MPH (ft.)
The heavier curb weight plays a spoilsport for the Challenger SRT Hellcat as it took almost seven feet more than the Camaro ZL1 to stop from 60-0 mph while the Shelby GT350 took the highest 106 feet to stop from 60-0 mph even though it weighs the least among the three.
The 2018 Camaro ZL1 has a respectable fuel economy figure of 14 mpg in the city, 20 mpg on the highway, and 16 mpg combined. These are the numbers when the Camaro ZL1 is had with the six-speed manual while the Camaro ZL1 with the ten-speed automatic sees a drop of 1 mpg in the city and an increase of 1 mpg on the highway. That being said, the Camaro ZL1 is among the most fuel-efficient sports car and comes with the largest 19-gallons of fuel tank thus be it on the highway or in the city you won't be needing to take frequent fuel stops.
In this comparison, the naturally aspirated V8-powered Shelby GT350 matches Camaro ZL1's city gas mileage and beats the highway gas mileage figures by 1 mpg. As for the Challenger SRT Hellcat powered by a supercharged V8, just like the Camaro ZL1, and weighing heavier than the Camaro ZL1 returns 1 mpg less in the city and 1 mpg more on the highway. Although when it comes to range from a tankful of gas then none can beat the Camaro ZL1 with the biggest fuel tank.
"Front seats occupants will do just fine but don't get caught in the back seat of the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro, and don't expect the trunk to hold a lot of groceries." - The Car Connection
The cabin of the 2018 Camaro ZL1 gives priority to function over form just opposite of the regular Camaro. In the Camaro ZL1, the dash is kept as simple as possible with a unique design for the driver's display. Although the quality of the material and fit and finish level remains the same as you get in the regular Camaro. Since the cabin of the Camaro ZL1 is heavily based on the regular Camaro don't forget to read our take on the interior of the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Dashboard
The Camaro ZL1 comes with Recaro sports seats as standard with heating and ventilation along with power adjustment. The seats offer good comfort and the material of the Recaro sports seat feels good to touch. The side bolstering is a bit aggressive and folks with a wider body frame might find them a bit too intrusive. That said, the rear seats have negligible space whatsoever and are best suited for small kids only.
Front (Head/Shoulder/Leg) (In.)
Second (Head/Shoulder/Leg) (In.)
N/A/ N/A/ N/A
Only the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasts seating for five with usable and adult-friendly rear seats. While the Shelby GT350 offers the best front-seat legroom and the Challenger SRT Hellcat comes with the best front head and shoulder room.

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Infotainment System
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 comes with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a nine-speaker Bose sound system. The infotainment is average in terms of usability and user experience. That said, closely placed physical buttons are difficult to use while on the move.
Key highlights of the 2018 Camaro ZL1's infotainment include:
Built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot w/ 4G LTE
Lap timer and recorder
Chevrolet MyLink w/ Apple Carplay and Android Auto
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Cargo space
The 2018 Camaro ZL1 offers a paltry 9.1 cubic feet of cargo space. Thus restricting its practicality as the cabin also is short of in-cabin storage space.
Cargo Capacity (ft³.)
Both the rivals offer better and more usable cargo space compared to the Camaro ZL1 with the Challenger SRT Hellcat getting the biggest trunk among all.
"Retro cool and menacing, the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro announces its sporty intentions with its looks but compromises some function for its form." - The Car Connection
The exterior design of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was last redone in 2017 and thus this year it comes with no change whatsoever. The overall silhouette of the Camaro ZL1 is based on the regular Camaro. Although there are a lot of differences between the two starting with the front splitters and a more aggressive front bumper at the front portion while at the rear you get a rear spoiler and tinted brake lights.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe Side View
Dimensionally the Camaro ZL1 is slightly bigger than the regular Camaro measuring 190.2-inches in length ( longer by 0.9-inches) and having 110.7-inches of wheelbase (same as the regular Camaro). The Camaro ZL1 is wider than the regular Camaro by 0.3-inches but is shorter in height by 0.2-inches.

The Challenger SRT Hellcat with the adult-friendly rear seats, seating for five, and the biggest boot is naturally the one with the biggest dimensions among all. While if we compare the Camaro ZL1 with the Shelby GT350 then except for the length and the wheelbase the Shelby GT350 is bigger than the Camaro ZL1.

The Camaro ZL1 constitutes a smaller portion of the total Camaro sales and happens to be the top-end variant of the regular Camaro thus neither the IIHS nor the NHTSA has crash-tested it. On the other hand, both the agencies have crash-tested the base version of the 2018 Camaro where it scored a perfect five-star score in overall safety rating from the NHTSA while the IIHS gave it the highest rating of 'Good' in four out of five parameters.

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe vs 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat sure commands a premium over the Camaro ZL1 but it comes with a more powerful engine, a spacious cabin, better practicality, and is an overall better-suited daily driver. Although the SRT Hellcat can't beat the Camaro ZL1 when it comes to outright acceleration and gas mileage.
That said, the overall build quality of the Challenger SRT Hellcat is a shade below compared to the Camaro ZL1 with the ride and handling also being better on the latter compared to the former. So unless you usually need to carry a couple of passengers we think the Camaro ZL1 is a better choice over the Challenger SRT Hellcat.
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe vs 2018 Ford Shelby GT350
The Shelby GT350 sure packs in a lot of punch from its naturally aspirated V8 but it is no match to the brutal supercharged V8 of the Camaro ZL1. The Shelby GT350 can't beat the Camaro ZL1 in outright acceleration or power and torque figures. Although the handling of the Shelby GT350 is almost in the same leagues as of the Camaro ZL1 while the ride quality is better on the latter.
The Shelby GT350 with time has lost its dominance as the most powerful or fastest muscle car but it blends a fine balance between track-like performance and day-to-day practicality. The former can be had in the Camaro ZL1 but it sorely lacks day-to-day practicality. Thus as a daily driver, we prefer the Shelby GT350 but as a second car in the garage dedicated for track duties, the Camaro ZL1 would be our pick.
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has upped the ante against the earlier segment dominators the Challenger SRT Hellcat and the Shelby GT350. The Camaro ZL1 isn't as powerful as the Challenger SRT Hellcat but is quicker than both its rivals. The Camaro ZL1 might not have a spacious cabin or a practical trunk as the Challenger SRT Hellcat but it rides and handles better than both cars. So there are certain compromises on the Camaro ZL1 but it remains the top-dog in the area where it matters the most for a track-focused muscle car.

Q: JSP Get Value of Property I am very new to JSPs so I need your help.  Google didn't give me what I was looking for, I might just entered the wrong search term.  So please forgive me, but I think its a really dumb question, however nothing seems to be on the net about it.
I created a login screen (works fine) and the credentials are checked (works fine) and the main screen gets a DTO which should be evaluated.
As you can see, there is a jsp:getProperty tag, it works fine, if I try to access the paramter name using jsp:getProperty.  I want to do some additional checks, therefor I tried to access the property within the <% %> section, in there however, it is null.  Is there a way how to access the object within the <<% %> section, after you retrieved it with a jsp:useBean tag?
Here is the main jsp file:
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
 <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
 <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
 <%@ page import="de.daniel.docmanager.dto.User"  %>
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
 </head>
 <body>
 <jsp:useBean id="user" class="de.daniel.docmanager.dto.User" scope="session">
 </jsp:useBean>

<%
String name =  user.getName();
System.out.println("name: " + name);  //<= name is null
%>

Hello <jsp:getProperty property="name" name="user"/> //<= works fine
</body>
</html>

Thank you very much for your support. I really do appreciate it.

A: It is a bad practice to use scriptlets in JSP . Read this nice SO Q&A : How to avoid Java Code in JSP-Files? on this subject .

Coming back to your problem. You are defining a bean using Standard Action as :
<jsp:useBean id="user" class="de.daniel.docmanager.dto.User" scope="session">
</jsp:useBean>

The useBean tag will look for an instance of the "de.daniel.docmanager.dto.User" class in the session .  If the instance is not already there, it will create a new instance of "de.daniel.docmanager.dto.User" , and put it in the session.
You have to retrieve the object from the session scope :
<%
 String name =  ((de.daniel.docmanager.dto.User)session
                                      .getAttribute("user")).getName();
 System.out.println("name: " + name);
%>

I want to do some additional checks, therefor I tried to access the property within the <% %> section

You can use JSTL or some tag library for that purpose.

Nocturne opens to much acclaim!


SANTA FE – New Mexico has officially gotten rid of Columbus Day, replacing the holiday with Indigenous People's Day.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill Tuesday to replace the holiday honoring the Italian explorer with a day celebrating members of the indigenous community, her office confirmed. The holiday will still be a legal public holiday and fall on the second Monday of October.
