Yes, please refrain from giving personal information such as passport & ID to these scam like recruitment ads.

Q: Java Core. Модификатор static "В чем преимущество использования модификатора static?"
зачем маркировать метод или поле как static, что явно указать что это поле принадлежит именно этому классу, если в примере:
public class SimpleClass {

private int field;

}

Поле field принадлежит классу Class.
Так в чем тогда разница?
Только в удобстве доступа к тому или иному полю или методу, например:
Class.field;

Вместо использования геттеров и сеттеров и явной инициализации класса или есть еще какие-то явные преимущества использования этого модификатора?
Update 1
Пишет, что использования статических методов дает преимущество, так как статические методы хорошо подходят как методы утилиты.
На статические методы не работают с не статическими полями, получается, что для того, чтобы передать какое-то значение в статический метод, нам нужно передавать или статические переменные или value, которое мы сразу будем вводить в параметры метода? Но если я хочу использовать в каком-то сервисе, статический метод, для изменения нестатического поля из другого класса, мне всегда будет выдавать ошибку? Разве это удобно? Нужно подстраиваться как-то под эти ситуации или есть уже решения?
Пример:

Как вы заметили при попытке передачи в статический метод класса переменную не статическую я получил ошибку... Это не самый удобный выбор, как по мне.. на этот момент.

A: Основное отличие static полей и методов в том, что они существуют в контексте класса, а не отдельного экземпляра.
Соответственно static поля существуют в одном экземпляре. А при работе в static методах нельзя обращаться к не статик контенту, потому что его там просто не существует. Нельзя использовать ключевое слово this, но можно и нужно взаимодействовать с объектами переданными как параметры.
В вашем примере ошибка не про передачу в статик метод, а про обращение к ней из статик контента. В итоге код должен быть преобразован в:
System.out.println(this.value);

но т.к. переменной this в этом контексте нет, то и код будет не правильным. Если же вы попробуете что-то такое:
class A {
    private int a = 0;

    public void inc() {
        System.out.println(Util.changeValue(a));
    }
}

То всё будет работать. Только прощу заметить, что исходное значение в классе A не поменяется, метод назван неправильно.
Так же static поля принято использовать для набора констант, только еще с модификатором final.

A: Может так будет проще. Статический контекст не требует создания объекта класса конструктором new. Статический объект создается сразу,  при первом обращении к его  методам.
Если вам не надо создавать множественные копии ваших объектов, а просто необходимо получить результат некой операции, то статический объект это самое нужное. Большинство  утилитарных  библиотек используют именно статический подход.

When expanding its transitional living and recovery support services center for women coming out of incarceration, rehabilitation centers, or domestic violence shelters, the staff of the non-profit The Next Door wanted a human-centered design emphasizing the organization's guiding principles of wholeness and hope.
The replacement facility, nestled on a 1.05-acre site beside the next-step independent housing complex, was designed to reinforce a sense of residential living. Its exterior resembles an urban apartment façade, blending in with the surrounding neighborhood and offering expansive views of the urban landscape. Large windows filter natural light indoors; a landscaped courtyard provides respite for residents and staff.
Each floor contains classrooms, a fitness/wellness room, a shared laundry area, and staff support spaces. The first floor houses the main kitchen and dining area, as well as a chapel, clinic, boutique, computer lab, and offices. The in-house clinic provides a space for residents to visit clinicians for exams and medication, and the program's computer lab, library, and boutique are equipped for workforce development. A second-floor six-bed social detox unit with its own kitchenette stands ready, along with a dining area and residential rehabilitation services. The third floor consists of a halfway house with support amenities.
On its completion, the new facility doubled the organization's ability to serve women by increasing from 40 to 80 beds, giving residents a sense of community and a place for a new beginning.

Q: Как остановить linux (ubuntu) процесс с консоли Putty Запустил свой Java процесс с консоли Putty.
javac project.java
java project

И чтобы его завершить нажимаю CTRL+C, все бы хорошо, но Putty случайно закрылась, а java процесс не остановился и как теперь его завершить?

A: Для Linux:
Сначала нужно найти pid процесса:
ps -aux | grep "java project"

Потом использовать kill для завершения процесса
kill <pid>

Где <pid> это найденный выше идентификатор.
Для Windows
Находим pid процесса:
tasklist /fi "ImageName eq java.exe"

Завершаем процесс:
taskkill /pid <pid>

Для Windows есть один неприятный нюанс, tasklist.exe не показывает параметры командной строки, поэтому придётся угадать, если процессов несколько


This winch started out doing simple jobs like pulling cars on semi uneven ground not deep mud. AFTER the first 12 to 14 pulls the spring holding the brake assembly went south. Keeping in mind I paid 700.00 bucks for this landfill item, i replaced the bake assembly (they wont sell you the spring alone, imagine that) 165.00 later it lasted about 8 pulls with a new assembly,this time another part of the NEW assembly broke. THIS WINCH IS TOTAL CRAP!!!BUY A WARN OR SUPERWINCH!Read the label made in CHINA! Even closer examination will reveal it is only a jazzed up Harbor Freight winch.
I think this winch is great. I realize that it is a little slow, but when you get stuck going slow is better than not going at all. I think that for the money, this winch is a great deal. It can definitely say that it has plenty of power, because I was able to pull and F250 diesel out of the mud with it no problem, once my tires found a nice root to hang on to. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you are on a budget, this thing is the way to go.
I've had this winch for over a year now and had to use it at least 20 times. Never failed, never overheated and still going strong. With a single red top battery I have never had any draining problems (although I do not believe I ever winched without the Jeep running). Would highly recommend this item. This winch is slower than other models, but I think of that as a safety feature, and this winch will stop on a dime when you release the button!
Have the pistol grip controller - rocker switch falls apart. Otherwise appears to work ok.

Q: Querying Agrovoc with Jena TDB Api i have an issue querying Agrovoc Agrovoc Rabbits result in my java application. While am able to retrieve information about rabbits like concept. But when i try retrieving attribute information like concept label, broader, broader label I get their urls instead of their descriptions.

After our morning spent hiking up to Arco castle, the only thing I had on my mind once we hopped back into the car was food! I wanted lunch… and lots of it too!
We drove over to Drena for a taste of traditional Italian food that's pretty typical to this part of Northern Italy.
See this region of Italy – Garda Trentino, is very different from most of Italy. At one point, a fair bit of was actually part of Austria and so the food and culture here is very different from what you might find, say in Rome, for example.
The restaurant we decided on was La Casina, a restaurant famous in the area for it's good and one that actually came highly recommended by the locals.
We started off with some sparkling wine from the area (Trentodoc – which is to Garda Trentino what Prosecco is to Trieste in Italy or Champagne to the Champagne region of France).
Lunch was kicked off with some meat and cheese platters (all local specialities), before then going for carpaccio for our 'primi piatti' (our first course).
The carpaccio-style dish was actually different here than your typical 'carpaccio' in that it came with a sauce over it and was cooked.
Desert came in the form of a sort of deconstructed crumble – absolutely delicious and just the best way to finish up lunch!
Leaving lunch, and still feeling chuff with myself for this morning's exercise 😄, we headed over to Pisoni Winery for an afternoon of wine in the sun!
Our visit started, as quite a few vineyard visits do, with a brief visit to the actual cellars where we found their 'secret' (not-so-secret) stash of Trentodoc sparkling wine – all getting nice and ready, along with some rather old barrels (no longer in use but still a fascinating piece of the winery's history).
Oh, and the vineyard also makes grappa – which is a product of what's typically left of wine production (skin, seeds…etc) and you get a sneak peek into this too…(and, if you're lucky, a sneak taste too 😉 ).
Leaving the 'business bits' behind, we headed to the actual vineyards outdoors for a taste through the different wines produced here.
It's moments like this that remind me why I have such a soft spot for vineyards in general.
Drinking wine in the sun, surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery, throw in some local cheeses and it's just such a brilliant way to spend an afternoon. (It probably helps that I wasn't the one driving too so I could drink all the wine I wanted).
…except, in this part of Italy, there's always a beautiful distraction just around the corner.
Our beautiful distraction for the afternoon was the ethereally calm Lake Toblino and the equally picturesque Toblino Castle, perched perfectly on the side of the lake.
I think I've said this on here before but when you think of Italy, castles never really come to mind. Cathedrals, grand bridges, amphitheatres and all things Roman – yes; that's the stuff you come to associate with Italy, but never really castles.
It would be a wrong presumption though as Italy has some pretty spectacular castles (though now that I think about it – the ones we've seen have generally tended to be in the North of Italy 🤔😄).
There's also a serenity and calmness at this lake that makes it a perfect little spot to watch the sun set over this beautiful part of Northern Italy.
Swinging quickly past Drena Castle (we'd seen this in the distance and figured we might as well pop in… except we couldn't as it was closed for renovations following a landslide), we headed back to the lakeside to kick off our shoes for a bit before going to Torbole for dinner.
Torbole is actually a gorgeous little village on Lake Garda though arriving in the evening like we did, it's hard to get a sense of this. (I'll show you more in the next post where we get to visit properly in the daytime).
The scene for dinner was La Terazza Restaurant, where I decided to be prudent and skip the first course, go for the second course and skip dessert too. Except, of course, none of that happened.
After which I went for what I had my eye on from the start – the beef, for my second course (Lloyd went for the fish meatballs).
Dessert (after very little persuasion) came in the form of Pannacotta, for me (an easy fave) and chocolate for Lloyd.
I blame how delicious the meals were here for why I decided to go the whole hog! I don't think I even arrived particularly hungry but once I got the first taste of my meal, the hunger reared it's head, seemingly out of nowhere! Suffice to say, I was only too happy to oblige.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan (why not Chanowitz - she has the money) welcome second daughter
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan with their two daughters, baby August and Max.
NEW YORK (JTA) — Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have announced the birth of their second daughter, named August.
The Facebook founder and his wife made the announcement through a post on Zuckerberg's Facebook page Monday in which they sounded optimistic about the world's future.
"When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in — a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality," Zuckerberg and Chan wrote. "We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what's wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We're optimists about your generation and the future."
They also pointed out the importance of childhood.
"Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about the future," they wrote.
The couple had their first child, Max, in November 2015. Before her birth, Zuckerberg wrote about Chan's struggles with pregnancy, including her three miscarriages.
Zuckerberg recently spoke at Harvard's commencement ceremony and cited the Mi Shebeirach prayer.

Portrait of Laszlo Paal
1844-1900 Hungarian Mihaly Munkacsy Locations Munkacsy started to paint during the years he spent in Arad as a joiner. With the help of partons be studied at the Viennese, Munich and Dusseldorf academies. Munkacsy painted his first major work, the outstanding "The Condemned Cell" in D??sseldorf, in 1872, together with his friend Laszlo Paal, he moved to Paris, where be lived until the end of his life. Munkacsy painted his genres in the style of realism between 1873 and 1875: "Midnight Ramblers", "Farewell". "Churning Woman", "Woman Carryng Brushwood", and "Pawnshop" were the zenith of his career. He married the widow of Baron de Marches in 1874, and his style changed from that time on. Departing from the typical subjects of realism, be produced colourful salon paintings and still-lifes. This was the period when be also turned to ladscape painting; his growing interest is marked by such great paintings as "Dusty Road". "Corn Field", and "Walking in the Woods". The assimilation of Laszlo Paal's style is apparent in the landscapes painted during the 1880s, such as "Avenue" and "The Colpach Park". His realist portraits - e.g. of Franz Liszt and Cardinal Haynald - were also born around this time, together with his religions paintings, such as "Christ in front of Pilate", "Golgotha" and later, "Ecce homo". Towards the end of his career he painted two monumental works: "Hungarian Conquest" for the House of Parliament and a fresco entitled "Apotheosis of Renaissance, for the ceiling Kunsthistoriches.

Jan Baptiste Vanmour
1671-1737 was a Flemish-French painter, remembered for his detailed portrayal of life in the Ottoman Empire during the Tulip Era and the rule of Sultan Ahmed III. Van Mour was a native of Valenciennes, a Flemish town that at he time of his birth belonged to the Spanish Netherlands, but since 1678 to France. He studied art in the studio of Jacques-Albert Gerin, and his work attracted the attention of an aristocrat and statesman of the time, Marquis Charles de Ferriol. Van Mour was invited to go to Istanbul when De Ferriol was appointed there as the French Ambassador in 1699. De Ferriol commissioned van Mour to do one hundred portraits of the local people. In 1711 De Ferriol returned to France and van Mour worked for a variety of other diplomats. In the meantime De Ferriol published a series of one hundred engravings (after the paintings) in Recueil de cent estampes representant differentes nations du Levant. The book had a great influence in Western Europe and was published in at least five languages. Painting audiences with the Sultan became van Mour's speciality; he only had to change the setting and a few faces. Van Mour worked with assistants to fulfill all his obligations. In 1725 he was granted the extraordinary title of Peintre Ordinaire du Roy en Levant in recognition of both his and the Levant's importance to the French government. In 1727 the Dutch ambassador Cornelis Calkoen asked Van Mour to record his audience with Sultan Ahmed III on canvas. Van Mour was allowed to enter the palace during these ceremonies accompanying the ambassador and his retinue; therefore, he was familiar with the special protocol that prevailed in the Ottoman court for ambassador's receptions. Calkoen took many paintings of Jean-Baptiste van Mour with him, when he was appointed as ambassador in Dresden for the Dutch Republic.
BRAY, Salomon de
Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1597-1664 De Bray established himself in Haarlem before 1617, where he is supposed to have been taught by Hendrick Goltzius and Cornelis van Haarlem, and where he married in 1625. He painted history paintings, portraits and landscapes. As a Catholic he probably also made altar pieces for clandestine churches. He cooperated in the decoration of Huis ten Bosch in The Hague. His works draw on the spirit of the Dutch classicism beginning at that time, and are comparable with those of Pieter de Grebber. De Bray was also active as a designer of silverwork, as a poet, as an architect and as a town planner. As an architect, he was involved in the construction or expansion of Haarlem's City Hall, Zijlpoort, and St. Annakerk (Church of St. Anne), and Nijmegen's city orphanage. One of his poems was set to music by his friend the composer Cornelis Padbru??. Salomon de Bray was the father of ten children, of whom three (including Jan de Bray) became artists. He probably died of the plague, as some of his children and was buried in the Sint-Bavokerk in Haarlem.
Hermann August Cappelen
(1 May 1827 - 8 March 1852) was a Norwegian painter. Cappelen was best known for his melancholic, dramatic and romantic landscape compositions. Hermann August Cappelen was born in Skien, Norway. He was the son of Diderik von Cappelen (1795-1866) and Margaret Noble Severine Henriette Løvenskiold (1796-1866). Both the Løvenskiold and Cappelen families were prominent Norwegian family of merchants, land owners, civil servants and politicians. His family were the owners of prominent iron works and various other properties. His grandfather, Diderik von Cappelen (1761-1828), was member of the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814. He grew up at Holden, a manor in Ulefoss in the Grenland district of the county of Telemark. After school graduation in Skien in 1845, he went to Christiania to take another exam at the University of Oslo. He subsequently went to Dusseldorf, where he studied with Hans Gude. Cappelen was a student at Kunstakademie Dusseldorf under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer in landscape painting class (1846-1850).


(Reuters) - Xerox Corp shareholders Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason said on Tuesday the U.S. company should seek to sell itself to one of its rivals or a private equity firm.
The activist shareholders, who own a combined 15 percent of the U.S. printer and copier maker, have repeatedly urged shareholders to oppose the Fuji-Xerox deal.
Icahn and Deason said last week the agreement dramatically undervalued Xerox, and criticized the deal structure calling it "tortured, convoluted".
"Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason's letter is consistent with their misguided campaign to undermine Xerox's combination with Fuji Xerox," Xerox said in a statement on Tuesday.
The company reiterated that among the range of strategic options, combination with Fuji Xerox is the superior path forward for Xerox.
On Jan. 31, Fujifilm said it was set to take over Xerox in a $6.1 billion deal and combine it into their existing joint venture, Fuji Xerox.
Shares of Xerox were up nearly 1 percent.

Spade names SNL's worst-ever celeb host
by Claire Spellberg, Decider
13th Aug 2020 9:20 AM
There are bad Saturday Night Live hosts - and then there's this actor.
On a new episode of Rob Lowe's Literally! podcast, SNL alum David Spade revealed that Steven Seagal took himself too seriously to embrace the show's ethos, and as a result, he ended up "fighting" the cast and crew on various sketches.
"He was too cool and he had his image," said Spade. "He couldn't be relatable."
In April 1991, fresh off success in Hard to Kill and Marked for Death, Seagal was tapped to host Saturday Night Live, but things quickly went off the rails.
Steven Seagal's appearance on SNL was widely panned.
Rumours have long circulated that Seagal was difficult to work with, ignored cue cards, and freewheeled his monologue. According to Uproxx, the episode went so poorly that SNL boss Lorne Michaels reportedly banned Seagal from appearing ever again.
Spade has been open about Seagal being "hard to work with" in the past - he said as much on a 2015 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen - but he elaborated on the issues at great length during an interview on the Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast.
When asked about Seagal's 1991 SNL episode, Spade joked that the action star's "one-inch ponytail was a little too tight that night," but he did admit that the guest was always "friendly" to him.
"You have to sort of trust these 30 people you don't know," explained Spade. "A lot of people think we're there to make fun of them. But if we're getting you on the show to host, we all want it to work.
"And if you make fun of yourself - this is where it gets tricky - it will benefit you. And we promise you. And if you don't, and if you fight it too much - that was (Seagal)."
Spade did not enjoy working with the actor. Picture: Douglas Gorenstein/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)
The former SNL star explained that Seagal refused to do his trademark "kung-fu fighting as a cold open, or a monologue," which put the writers in a difficult spot.
"We had something (in the monologue) where he throws in kicks or something, and it would have been amazing. And I think we walked up and get kicked and fall down," said Spade. "He said he would do it, but he just 'talked it.' He wouldn't do it. He wouldn't play at all, and then in the other sketches, he was fighting us.
"A lot of (hosts), you have to go through their people when you just want to grab someone and say, 'Hey, what about this idea?'" he continued.
"And some people (like Seagal) still make you go through their people."

The Democrats Aren't Really Trashing Trump – They Are Trashing We the People and Stabbing Us in the Back While Smiling
By Greg Holt on June 12, 2019 • ( 0 )
By Greg Holt
(True Conservative Pundit) It's simply amazing to this writer at times (only for a minute or so) how low the Democrats will sink into the filth and mire to enforce the Democratic playbook. Actually, it rather disgusts and sickens me, as well it should any right thinking human being, and I do not mean Republicans.
What is the Democratic playbook you ask? These days it is pretty simple actually:
Defeat Trump in 2020
Oppose anything Trump does – even if it is for the good of this country
Mire the Congress and the country down in endless investigations of Trump and company – while lying and smiling for the camera
Preserve the right to murder babies (infanticide) at all costs
Keep the Southern Border open and porous.
Support socialism/communism
Transform the U.S. into a third-world country (Venezuela)
It was the Democrats who attempted to derail a Republican campaign using false information with the power of the U.S. government behind it. It was and is the Democrats and their Republican RINO allies who have pushed for the election of Donald Trump to be over-turned. It is the Democrats who are seeking to unseat a duly elected president through spurious means including calling for the use of the 25th amendment, and impeachment – for which they have NO legitimate grounds.
There is also a growing movement, again by the Politicrats to subvert the election process. This idea – electing the president via the popular vote only, is gaining steam with many states. I have written a couple of articles on why this is a very bad idea. Do you think everyone's voice should be heard in the presidential election? That WILL change if the Politicrats have their way. The goal here is to guarantee that there will never again be a Republican president, while suggesting that utilizing the popular vote only, will make elections more fair – in fact, it will accomplish the exact opposite.
Many will say that this cannot happen (ditching the Electoral College), many have told me I am wrong. Those who think this cannot happen are not paying attention. This is a serious threat, and it CAN happen. So it's unconstitutional, big deal. Has this stopped the Politicrats thus far? NO, it has not. Why does anyone at this point think that the Politicrats will follow the Constitution and the rule of law when they have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to disregard the Constitution and the law at will, not to mention actively subvert it?
Even as new evidence continues to come out as to the real perpetrators of crimes, the Politicrats are still seeking to find non-existent evidence that Trump and/or his staff committed a crime(s) in order to win the 2016 election.
Adam Schiff is still living in fantasyland and dreaming of a Trump conviction for wrongdoing. This despite the fact that Mueller did not find any evidence of a crime or collusion. Apparently he was not looking hard enough.
From Real Clear Politics:
"REP. ADAM SCHIFF: Well, this has been a concern I've had for quite some time. It appeared to me that Mueller was not following the money."
So, Adam shifty-Schiff would have us all believe that Mueller, the Democrat's fair-haired boy just ignored evidence that would have brought charges against Trump? The very thing Mueller worked so hard to achieve for over 2 years, and he just looked the other way? Also, Rosenstein who signed off on at least one illegal FISA application did not allow Mueller (within the supposed scope of the investigation) to pursue this alleged evidence? Does anyone actually believe this? One has to wonder if Schiff is just this desperate, or if he actually is stupid enough to believe his own rhetoric.
The Politicrats (Democrats and RINOs) have no agenda that in any way brings fact-based solutions to the table in order to solve any problems America has.
The Politicrats would rather kiss the camera, spend money like a drunken sailor, and line their own pockets while enjoying all the perks of power courtesy of We the People's dime.
The Politicrats are like two-year-old children with a new toy, they can't wait to take it out and play with it at every opportunity – namely the Get Trump toy.
If anyone dares to throw facts in their faces, all these anti-America fools can do is to blather on spouting untrue nonsense carefully prepared to almost sound intelligent while really saying nothing at all. On top of that, the America hating mainstream media backs every comment, and every move of these American-in-name-only backstabbers.
Where was the appropriate outrage when lying Obama covered up Benghazi? Where is the outrage now that the evidence seems to point to (strongly) Obama's involvement in the plan to prevent Trump from ever being president? Where was the outrage at Hillary using an unsecure server to send and discuss classified material that wound up in enemy hands? Where was the outrage when FBI protocol was set-aside during the Hillary interviews concerning her unsecure email server? The free pass given to Hillary by James Comey? Where was the outrage when the U.S. government abused its power in an attempt to railroad Donald J. Trump?
That's right, I forgot – the Left hates Trump and anyone like him, so that makes all of this ok.

How to Customize Amazon Music with Alexa
Emily Long
Filed to:Alexa
Image: Amazon
Alexa has long been able to respond to requests for specific music genres, moods, and playlists. Now, she can also help you curate and personalize said playlists and remember your preferences for the future.
Amazon is launching new features for Amazon Music users that allow for more natural back-and-forth conversations with Alexa. Where you were previously limited to basic commands ("Alexa, play holiday music"), you can now use Alexa to help you narrow down your selections.
For example, if you say, "Alexa, help me find a holiday playlist," she may respond with, "We'll be rocking around the Christmas tree. Any vibe in particular? Mellow? Or maybe upbeat?"
From there, Alexa can respond to your natural language. So you can say, "Mellow," and she'll pick a playlist and ask you something like, "Will that work?" If you say no, she'll try again.
For now, users have to start these conversations with "Alexa, help me find…" but Amazon expects to add "Alexa, recommend…" and "Alexa, what should I play?" to her repertoire.
Once you've landed on a playlist, you can also curate based on songs you do and don't like. Phrases like "Alexa, I like this song" and "Alexa, I don't like this" act like Pandora's thumbs up/thumbs down feature. Alexa will remember previously liked, often listened-to, and favorited songs and pull from them when you say, "Alexa, play music I like."
These new features only work with Amazon Music—Prime Music and Amazon Music Unlimited—so if you prefer Spotify or another subscription music service, you'll have to stick with more targeted commands. You must be a U.S. customer on an Echo device or Amazon Music app.
Alexa does have another almost-human quality when it comes to music: She may put on her "mom" hat and push back on your requests. For example, if you ask her to launch an NSFW playlist, she may say, "This playlist may contain explicit lyrics. Prefer not to hear explicit lyrics?" To which you can respond, "Alexa, block explicit lyrics." Or not.

If you stand at your skybox long enough, you'll start to sprout branches. Don't believe me? Look what happened when I did. I just stood there, and the next thing I knew, things were growing off my head.
I do love accessories like this. Funny little headpieces, especially those that are nature inspired. Flowers. Branches. Butterflies. Animal ears or horns... They let me morph into something else. Flora, the goddess of flowers. Fauna, the goddess of fertility. The beauty of the nature, brought to our virtual existence.
Since I have been out of Second Life for a while, I'm a bit out of the loop too. I'd like to find photogenic scenery inworld. So if you know any places for me to visit, please send landmarks my way in SL. If we aren't friends yet, you'll find me by searching for Bastet Hazelnut. I hope to see you around!
There's not much to say. Last year I barely logged in, and never blogged. But for a couple of days I have been logging in to Second Life, multiple times. To celebrate that, I decided to snap one or two, and post it (also on Flickr).
Because I have been off for such a long time, I didn't have a clue where to go for pretty sights and surroundings. Luckily, Strawberry Singh mentioned this interesting location called COLD ASH (SLurl).
This site needs a redesign, reorganising and all around redo. Like asap. Gotta get onto that.
Been a while. I know. My Second Life adventures have been a bit on and off lately. My overall feeling hasn't much improved, but I hang on. As I always do.
I currently camp with my friend. We share a beach somewhere at a sky. Mostly I just hang around there, changing clothes or reshaping my nose. That reminds me! A little while ago I decided to finally buy a bento head. I'll probably blog more about it soonish. It's very pretty, I must say.
I wonder, what do people do in SL these days? I tried to ask this over at Plurk, but nobody responded. And I mean, other than hang at their sky beaches, reshaping noses. Or shopping stuff. I do that. A bit too much. Luckily there are sometimes good stuff for sale too, so I don't spend all my limited L$.

Live from Milan: Gucci's first men's and women's show
Site: Yeong Sassall
Get your Gucci on, folks, we're giddying up for a new season
Fashion week has already hurtled through New York and London, and now lands on the cobbled streets of Milan. With a new season of Gucci splendour about to erupt (the show comes to you live on Thursday, February 23 at 1am), we may only know a few scant details, but they're important.
This A/W '17 show marks the first combined men's and women's show, so we're expecting it to be rich with influences and heavy on looks. Considering how exuberant and out-there-eccentric Alessandro Michele's S/S '17 presentation was, we've no doubt A/W '17 will be equally as arresting. Catch the show live below.
Milan Fashion Week kicks off with a Gucci goldmine

New Year's resolutions are not something I've excelled at in the past. I'm a champ at setting them, abiding by them for 12 months is where I seem to fall short. For the past three years I've set a reading resolution and shared it with my students. I thought a public declaration and 880 middle schoolers might motivate me to be more disciplined. I was wrong.
The answer, when I thought deeply about it, is real.
In life, we fail. Some of us more than others. Yet as teachers we often feel that we have to be perfect, do things correctly, make no mistakes… What message are we sending if we never allow students to see how we handle failure? Shouldn't we let them see that we too struggle, even fail, and that is how we learn?
Some of the best moments I've had with students this year have been while we were grappling with a problem and getting extremely frustrated. It surprised me that in situations when a student wanted to quit and I said, "OK, but I'm going to try and figure it out because it's still bothering me" the student would dive back in. It brought home the point that modeling productive struggle is something I need to do more often.
So in sharing my resolution, I will also remember to share when keeping it is hard, how losing my footing will not mean giving up the race, how the failure is not in missing the goal - but in not attempting to try again.

Story of the week: Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest, Nottingham
In Sherwood Forest all paths lead to the Major Oak.
The 900-year-old tree towers over the green shoots of the forest like an elder statesman on the bright spring morning of my visit.
Meanwhile, a crowd of appreciative onlookers snake a meandering trail from the visitors' centre to gaze upon the place where the Britain's best-loved outlaw and his band of merry men allegedly made their home.
Sherwood Forest was the largest of 90 royal forests created by William the Conqueror and once covered most of Nottinghamshire north of the River Trent.
From the 12th to 14th century, when the Sheriff of Nottingham enforced a strict forest law to protect the king's livestock, Sherwood became home to numerous highwaymen.
They hunted for animals and robbed passing travellers along the erstwhile Great North Road — now the present-day A1.
Audio trail
The Major Oak is my starting point today to follow a new interactive audio trail, In the Footsteps of Robin Hood.
It retraces the trail blazed across the Nottinghamshire countryside by the character that has evolved from medieval folk tale to TV action hero via various incarnations on the silver screen.
Joining me to follow in the footsteps of Robin Hood's is John Charlesworth, an expert in local history, who acted as a consultant to the development of the trail.
"Personally I believe Robin was a real outlaw, not just a fictional character," says John.
"In the 1220s, a Robert Hod appeared in court in Yorkshire and was made into a fugitive from the law. He is the original Robin Hood."
The trail is based around seven key sites, forming a triangular route from Sherwood Forest via Nottingham Castle in central Nottingham to Clumber Park near the town of Worksop.
There are also three new walking trails marked off the main route, all of which are designed to help explore the rural reaches of the East Midlands through their connection to the Robin Hood story.
At each of the locations a crossbow-shaped interpretation unit adds context to the truth behind the Robin Hood legend via audio-visual material.
Sound tracks
For the car journey between the sites, you can buy the CD commentary from local tourist offices and check the accompanying map; alternatively download it as a podcast to your iPod and bike your way round following the Sustrans National Cycle Route.
From the Major Oak, John and I retrace our steps through the 450-acre forest, following flower-strewn woodland paths and passing heathlands alive with birdlife.
We emerge from a clearing into the attractive village of Edwinstowe, home to a slew of places to stay and eat on the fringe of Sherwood Forest.
From here we take to the car, driving through the rural heart of Nottinghamshire's Robin Hood country while John explains how one of the original medieval tales, The Gest of Robin Hood, is the basis for the legend as we know it today.
The fable tells of Robin's rivalry with the Sheriff, the legend of splitting a silver arrow with his mastery of the longbow and the eventual pardoning by King Edward.
It even includes references to his merry men, including Will Scarlet and Little John, but Friar Tuck and Maid Marian are absent, likely to be latter-day additions as the legend evolved.
Stately home
Heading northeast from Edwinstowe, the next stop is Rufford Abbey, founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks and later transformed into a country estate for several wealthy local families.
Legends suggest that, while Robin famously robbed the rich and gave to the poor, he had an uneasy relationship with the Church of England and the abbey's crypt, located in the expansive grounds, still contains ancient manuscripts and tapestries with records from Robin's day.
The next stop, Clumber Park, was formerly a major deer-hunting park, where Robin would have hunted in defiance of forest law.
The country house was demolished in 1938 but the park remains with its Gothic chapel, wide-open spaces and expansive lake.
As we stroll along a serene avenue, where lime trees sway gently in the breeze, John explains how, before the current hit TV series, the Legend of Robin Hood had been a favourite of cinema audiences.
The American actor Errol Flynn played the outlaw with verve in the 1938 classic The Adventures of Robin Hood, while a new film, starring Russell Crowe is currently in production.
There was even a 1960's Canadian cartoon series, Rocket Robin Hood, which finds Robin living on the Sherwood asteroid in outer space.
"For me Errol Flynn portrayed Robin Hood best, with great fencing and a superb musical score, but I do have a sneaking fondness for Robin and Marian (1976), staring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn," says John.
"It has a more poignant feel, portraying Robin as a man out of his time."
Evolving story
Our last stop is Cresswell Crags on the trail's northwest spur, where Robin is alleged to have hidden while fleeing the Sheriff of Nottingham with a bounty on his head.
Under forest law, outlaws could be take dead or alive and Robin would have hidden in the dark, dank chambers of the caves to escape both the Sheriff's men and locals seeking to betray him for a bag of silver.
Back in Edwinstowe village we end our journey with a stroll around the churchyard of St Mary's where, according to the legend's happy ending, Robin and Maid Marian were finally married.
"For me the way Robin reflects our modern-day issues is what makes him such a fascinating character," says John as we say our farewells.
"Robin can change with the times but the core of the story remains timeless."

On behalf of Butler Viadro, LLP posted in Workers' Compensation on Thursday, December 6, 2018.
People can appreciate that construction work can be dangerous. However, that makes it all the more important for employers in the construction industry not to cut corners, especially when it comes to worker safety. Should they fail to follow applicable safety rules, it could lead to disaster.
Cal/OSHA recently issued a fine of over $141,000 to a construction company, after an investigation into a fatal trench accident revealed nine safety violations. The incident began when the company put together a trench box. Several days later, a worker was in the trench compacting dirt while at the same time a second worker was taking apart the rails that were put into place to stop a cave-in of the trench. A hook used to lift the rails up was faulty, and a two-ton rail ended up falling onto the worker compacting dirt.
According to Cal/OSHA, the company violated safety regulations by not properly checking to make sure no workers were in the trench when it was being taken apart. The company also violated safety regulations by not using proper hooks for taking the rails apart.
This is a very sad situation in which a worker was killed on the job. When workers die in on-the-job accidents, depending on the situation, their survivors may be entitled to death benefits through the workers' compensation system. In California, these benefits can cover reasonable burial expenses and are paid at the total temporary disability rate. Of course, as is the case with any workers' compensation filing, it is important that any application for death benefits is complete and accurate, or it may be denied. For this reason, some people find it useful to seek professional guidance when pursuing workers' compensation benefits or death benefits should the worker be killed on-the-job.


Planning an international move to Australia is a huge venture, not least because Australia is a huge country, so much so that those of us from smaller countries such as the UK struggle to get our heads around its vastness. This means that when moving to Australia, you need to think carefully about which part of the country you want to move to.
Queensland is the state covering the north-eastern part of Australia, it has been nicknamed the "sunshine state" thanks to its hot climate, being closer to the equator than the southern states. Queensland has an impressive 7,000km of coastline, where many great surfing beaches can be found along the Sunshine & Gold Coasts. One of the wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef, is located off the coast of Queensland.
If you're convinced that Queensland is the state for your international move, you now need to think more specifically about where you'd like to live.
Most obviously, Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, is an exciting place to live. Brisbane is the third largest city by population in Australia with 2.4 million inhabitants. Being such a large city, there is a lot going on, and Brisbane also boasts a large business district, which is always useful when looking for work.
Gold Coast is the largest non-capital city in the country, making it the sixth largest overall. The city is located just south of Brisbane, but has a lot going on itself, with attractions such as theme parks, as well as an active nightlife, not to forget the beautiful beaches!
Just the other side of Brisbane, to the north is Sunshine Coast; another city characterised by its stunning beaches, warm climate and strong industry in tourism. Sunshine Coast is also home to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, as well as many national parks which showcase Australia's mind-blowing natural beauty.
Still further north, Townsville is situated on the north eastern coast of Queensland, and is seen as the governmental and business centre for the northern half of the state. Once again, there are many great beaches to enjoy in this area!
If you're attraction to Queensland is its proximity the Great Barrier Reef, then Cairns may be a location to consider. Further north still than Townsville, Cairns offers easy access to the Great Barrier Reef, and also boasts a tropical climate, as well as appealing beach communities.
When moving to any part of Australia, it's important to ensure you'll be able to access other parts of the country, as well as other parts of the world. Queensland has 4 international airports, and a further 9 domestic airports. If you're planning on frequently travelling abroad, you may want to consider living somewhere close to an international airport to minimise the number of transfers when you travel.
In terms of rail, these services are provided by Queensland Rail and Pacific National, operating mainly between large towns located along the coastal strip.
The main attraction of Queensland is its natural beauty, which can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Living so close to the Great Barrier Reef mustn't be overlooked, and this spectacle will surely provide endless amazement. In addition, the Whitsunday Islands lie between the mainland and the Great Barrier Reef, and are characterised by white sand beaches and dense rainforest to explore.
On the Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise is so called because of its wide surf beach, so this is somewhere to head if surfing is your ideal Aus adventure. The area is also home to Cavill Mall and Cavill Avenue, which offer some of the best shopping in Queensland, along with a great scene for entertainment and nightlife.
In almost any area of Queensland you will find stunning national parks, which you can spend hours, even days, roaming around and soaking up the state's sunshine and beauty!
Right at the end of the 19th century, in 1899, the first Labour government in the world took office in Queensland.
Queensland boasts over 200 national parks, covering 6.5 million hectares.

The L600 was a Linux-based game console which was in the process of being developed by Indrema until Indrema ceased operations in April 2001. Besides game play, it was also to be a CD player, DVD player, web browser, and Tivo-like video recorder.
Had the console been released, it would have cost $300 US and had 30 games available at launch.

How To See Who Viewed Your TikTok Video
Over the past few years, one of the greatest revolutions that we have seen take place has been the invention of social media. Applications such as Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok have revived so many little ways in which we operated. From connecting with friends to finding jobs even in marketing we have seen social media take over each avenue. It has become a race of gaining the most followers and increasing the number of fans one has in order to create an impact
TikTok is one such invention that has seen exponential growth since it was introduced to the public almost 5 years ago back in 2016. It is estimated that today the application caters to roughly around 80 million users! The simple yet elegant features of the application lend a huge helping hand in augmenting the status of the application.
Various strategies have formed over the years when it comes to making full use of the benefits social media applications have to offer. Certain metrics have been set that are identified as markers of a successful social media account such as the gained number of likes on a video and the number of video views. Speaking of video views it is also important to know who is viewing your content. A common question that arises for TikTokers is to know who exactly has viewed their videos.
The application has till now not introduced that feature into its application. Even though you have the option of seeing how many views your video has gained, there is no way to see exactly who was the one viewing your content.
To see the number of gained video views all you have to do is log in to your account, open your profile choose any video and the number is displayed at the bottom.
You also have the option to see who exactly has liked your video from the notification bar. There is also a feature where you can share a video with a friend and once they view the video you see a notification that says "[Username] just viewed the video you shared".
That being said there still seems to be no progress towards determining who exactly it was who viewed a specific video and how many times did they go back to view it. The TikTok team seems to have some ideology about keeping this fact private as recently they also removed the option for you to see who visited your profile.
It is hard not to get wrapped up in the number game of how many likes, views, or followers you gain when it comes to social media usage. The quality of one's content determines how far along you can go with an audience but not there are many strategic ways to bypassing traditional methods as well. You can also increase shares on your TikTok videos, likes, views, and followers on your profile. This includes brand collaborations, gaining sponsorships partnering with other influencers, etc. Keeping a tab of all the statistics is an important part of being a successful social media presence.

Q: Using Konva, how can I select and transform images? I am quite new to javascript, and I have been following tutorials at https://konvajs.org/ to help me learn their library.
I am currently trying to make it so you can load and select local images to move, resize, and rotate them.
This is the code I have so far:

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Konva Select and Transform Demo</title>

Render a local image without upload

  <input type="file" id="file_input">

Demo: https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=GG5QCXFMLFXJ
I am unsure how to make the selecting work on images, rather than rectangles.
Thank you

A: In the demo, you will see that "rect" names is used to detect selectable shapes.  That is a useful approach, because you may have non-selectable shapes on the stage (like a background).
So to check a shape if it is selectable, we use:
e.target.hasName('rect')

So just remember to add "rect" name to new images on the stage:
// now load the Konva image
var theImg = new Konva.Image({
        name: 'rect',
        image: img,
        x: 50,
        y: 30,
        width: img_width/ratio,
        height: img_height/ratio,
        draggable: true,
        rotation: 0
});

The name itself is not very important. You can find a different way to detect "selectable" nodes.

The PO must have ripped out the control panel leaving me with this ugly sight. Should I a) Cover it over with a nice piece of Aluminum, or b) look and look for a replacement part and try and figure out the mish mash of wires?
Also, since this is all disconnected, will this effect my new replacement for the Univolt and my electrical system in general?
If y'all don't have one already, you should each look at obtaining a service manual that will show wiring diagrams for the various system. Once you know what to look for and where to look for it, it becomes somewhat less mysterious and daunting of a task. With proper testing equipment it should be a simple (albeit time consuming) task to trace the wires. It isn't that it's complex, just that there's just a whole lot of it to go through.
Good luck and safety first!
I do have a service manual, but you mention testing... Since the control panel is missing, can it be eliminated? Would I be trying to isolate wires and tag them before covering up with a plate?
I'm also bagging the Univolt, but would like to figure out the electrical before I disconnect the unit. I guess I'll take lots more pics!
If you look at the end of the univolt that all the wires go into you will see a fuse panel.
The panel and the colored wires are for the house circuits. The large feeds out of the univolt go to the batteries. You will either need to save the fuse panel, or get a new one to feed the house 12 VDC circuits.
Thanks for the info, I'll play tomorrow with manual in hand and see if I can figure them out. Amyone want a 73' Univolt?
73 Univolt going once.... going twice... Directly to the dump?
I'm new to the forums. I purchased my 1966 Safari last November.
Currently, I have gutted the coach, and am sandblasting the frame. I plan on adding a control panel. Does Airstream have a parts list that I could order a control panel from?
Regarding the burned wire... I have a '74, and had the same problem with the same lights. I Just cut the wire at the fuse panel back a bit, spliced a new piece in, and reconnected it to the fuse panel. The wire had rubbed through the insulation, right near the panel, and subsequently bured the wire and the insulation as it grounded out.

Q: Jenkins : Clean workspaces with Groovy I have Jenkins setup without nodes, all builds are run on the same machine.
I want to setup a Groovy script to cleanup old workspaces, so I want to use:
proj.scm.processWorkspaceBeforeDeletion(@Nonnull Job<?,?> project,
                                        @Nonnull FilePath workspace,
                                        @Nonnull Node node)

What value should I put for node when on master?

A: Execute below script to clean-up all Jenkins workspaces with Groovy:
import hudson.model.* // For each project

for(item in Jenkins.instance.items)
{ // check that job is not building
    if(!item.isBuilding())
    {
         println("Wiping out workspace of job "+item.name)
         item.doDoWipeOutWorkspace()
    } else {
         println("Skipping job "+item.name+", currently building")
    }
 }


Québécoise painter Marcelle Ferron was a member of Les Automatistes, a group, led by Paul-Emile Borduas, that believed that painting should be a result of the abstract workings of the inner psyche released subconsciously.
She became well known also for her stained glass pieces, which she learned in Quebec and pursued further while living in Paris from 1953 – 1966; the Metro station Champ-de-Mars in Montreal contains one of her windows.
She was awarded the Paul-Émile-Borduas medal for the visual arts in 1983, and in 1985 was made a Knight of the National Order of Quebec. She was promoted to Grand Officer in 2000, one year before her death.
In Toronto, Ingram Gallery will be exhibiting works by Ferron from March 19 – 9 April. Don't miss this opportunity – the show comprises significant canvases from 1947 – 1997.
Ferron was, we believe, a prolific artist. Her works come up regularly for auction in Toronto. Not all are of equal value, but the very good ones are truly superb.
Thank you for sharing this. Her work is beautiful, certainly underrated.
Regarding the A.J. Lloyd quote: Six woman signed the Refus Global… Magdeleine Arbour, Muriel Guilbault, Marcelle Ferron, Thérèse Leduc, Françoise Riopelle and Françoise Sullivan.
The male signatories were: Paul-Émile Borduas, Fernand Leduc, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Marcel Barbeau, Bruno Cormier, Claude Gauvreau, Pierre Gauvreau, Jean-Paul Mousseau, Maurice Perron and Louis Renaud.
I'm awaiting some clarification on this from AJ Lloyd.
My apologies for the delayed response. Regarding the description of Ferron as "the only woman to sign the Réfus Global," this should have in fact read: "the only woman painter to sign." Indeed, Ferron was one of many women important to the movement/moment and my statement was in no way meant to lessen the contribution of these other women or celebrate Ferron at their expense. Thank you Adam, for pointing out this oversight!
Don't forget that Françoise Sullivan was also a visual artist. At the time of Refus global, she was concentrating on dance, and would become one of the major figures in modern Canadian dance, but she had studied visual art at the École des Beaux-arts and would return to sculpture in the fifties, concentrating on visual art until the present. After experiments in various directions (including conceptual art, producing some major works which she now tends to denigrate, and shouldn't) she has returned to pure painting, producing sometimes monumental canvases mostly monochromatic in character. Last year, she won the Gershon Iskovitz prize, presented at the AGO.
This information is not intended to distract, or detract, in any way from a celebration of Marcelle Ferron, who was a wonderful person and artist.
I enjoy the tributes to our senior artists who have gone before us in Canada that you post. I 'm not clear why the title Under Rated is the appropriate one.
CELEBRATING would be a more appropriate term. The wonderful artists you post are part of the backbone of our cultural legacy, our art ancestors and besides many of them also are still living and active with their work…Thanks so much for your great art blog it truly educates us all…..
Just wanted to say how happy I am that a fellow artist sent me a link to this blog. I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing and reading so far! This is the first I've heard of Marcelle Ferron…she is incredible! (This is the thing about art work that was created in the moment …the artist's spirit seems to linger around the image…perhaps bridging… that infinite gap.) Enough- thanks for this blog.

India drawn in an interesting pool for 2023 Hockey World Cup, feels Sreejesh
Posted by Indian Abroad News Desk | Sep 12, 2022 | Sports
Photo Courtesy: IANS
Bengaluru, Sep 12: Veteran India hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh feels his side has been drawn in an "interesting pool" for the FIH Odisha World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela, scheduled to be played from January 13-29, with the likes of England and Wales adding to the excitement.
The Indian team has been drawn in Pool D with England, Spain and Wales in the showpiece event.
"It is an interesting pool. England, Spain and Wales all three are really good teams. Having played England and Wales at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games recently, I feel it will be a tough competition. But, we don't need to think about it right now. At present, it's all about us. We are going step-by-step and working on our game at the national camp. We are very excited and looking forward to playing the World Cup at home for the second consecutive time," said 34-year-old Sreejesh, who played a big role in India returning from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with a bronze medal after four decades.
About the team's prospects in the Pro League 2022-23 matches, Sreejesh said the matches in Odisha will be like a mock test for the 2023 World Cup.
"The Pro League is the best platform for us because we get to play against some of the top teams. The upcoming matches at home will be like a mock test for us, it will help us for the real challenge which we will face in January 2023. It will also help us in providing young players the experience of playing high-level hockey. So, it's a great opportunity for us as it will sort of help us set the tempo for the World Cup," said Sreejesh a veteran of 266 international matches.
Sreejesh, who has been nominated for the FIH Men's Goalkeeper of the Year Award 2021-22, credited team effort for his nomination for the award which he won last year.
"It is an honour for me to be nominated for the FIH Goalkeeper of the Year award category. Even though I have been nominated as an individual, it wouldn't have been possible without my teammates, who have been giving their best each and every day for the team. I am privileged to have such amazing teammates and coaching staff which has helped me bring out the best of my game and helped me to take it to another level."

Ever since I had Baby Jana, my time became not mine at all. The fun I used to have watching tv shows, movies or going out has been directed towards Juju. It's not that I'm complaining but I really miss watching lots of tv shows and spending a lazy day on the couch with yummy food and having nothing to do except watching tv.
Now, that i've almost done with work, Juju is old enough to be distracted with many things (games, tv) and my new help has arrived. I can say that i'm ready to watch new tv shows and catch up with the old ones which I've stopped watching.
As i was searching for new tv shows for my favorite actors (Milo Ventimiglia), I saw that he has a new one called Chosen. A thriller, about an ordinary man who wakes up one day with a box infront of his house that contains a gun and a picture of a man he must kill or his family will be in danger. I don't wanna have spoilers in this post, but those people who sent him this box won't stop until he does the job.
The finale was really shocking even though I suspected it will turn out to be like that. Season 1 had only 6 episodes. The show has been renewed for a 2nd season. I really can't wait for it to come back to see what will happen next.
or is it because the director made it so easy for the viewer to figure it out , Is it hard to add more mystery and make it a bit darker rather than to know whats going to happen next !
yeah as i said it was expected but still loved it! It's only 6 episodes that's why the events were very fast but still vague! waiting for season 2 to know more!


Anyone who loves to cook knows that a kitchen needs good lighting. Yet light costs money—and energy. If you're designing or remodeling a kitchen, leave room for windows so natural light can reach your work surfaces. Use motion sensors to detect when people are in the room (and turn off the lights when it's empty).
Design task lighting so that you can turn on only the lights you need and install energy-efficient light bulbs. Consider using compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), or, better still, Light-Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs to provide bright lighting with less energy use.
