Some running shoes just seem to stick out among the rest. Whether it be their quality, design, or long-term durability, good runners are hard to find and keep. With this in mind, we have looked at thousands of runners on RunnerClick, and we have a pretty good idea of what makes a pair of running shoes stand out from the rest. The North Face is a well-known brand that is making its name known in the running world as well. The brand has made significant contributions to the running shoe market—especially when it comes to trail running shoes. Their experience with making hiking shoes can be seen in their choice of durable materials and unique North Face styling. Check out various designs below.
In this update, we have refreshed the content and have added two new North Face shoes to our review list for you. The Ultra GORE as well as the Ultra Kilowatt both adequately demonstrate the qualities North Face is known for and are great additions to any runner's wardrobe.
If the Ultra MT is overkill for you and the Ultra Cardiac isn't quite burly enough then the Ultra Endurance is for you. It is the Ultra Cardiac's slightly beefier big brother that includes a rock plate and more aggressive outsole design. It is a purebred trail running shoe that will offer adequate protection on long trail runs.
This shoe is slightly heavier than the Cardiac because of the added snake plate and but uses a nearly identical breathable upper. If you want the added protection of a rock plate then select this shoe.
Similar to the Cardiac, the upper is not intended to be indestructible like in the Ultra Mt, but rather meant to be breathable. It will certainly last for most every day running if you don't abuse it.
Runners have suggested they would like a winder choice of colors.
A ladies shoe offering durability, protection, and comfort. To guarantee dryness the shoe provides an impenetrable moisture barrier and for unrivaled traction, the shoe features traction for dry and wet environments through the superb Vibram Mega-Grip Outsole. The North Face shoe is an exciting running experience, read our review and see if this shoe offers the performance which you are looking for.

The Outsole is backed up by the two-piece midsole which provides durable long lasting forefoot and heel cushion and gives even more through the high quality performing ESS tech designed into the forefoot which will protect the foot from stones. The shoes offer maximum comfort and are durable long lasting and very easy to clean after a run on sticky muddy trails.
For shoes offering this level of durability, comfort, quality, protection, and stability, the price is right and you get a very good investment.
This lightweight cushioned shoe is one of North Face's most versatile options. From the treadmill to the comfort-focused gimmick free trainer will keep you running with its breathable mesh upper and comfort focused design.
Designed to stay comfortable in any situation, the Ultra Cardiac offers less traction then more aggressive designs, but unless you are running on very technical terrain or in icy conditions, you will enjoy this shoe's lightweight simple design. This workhorse has everything the daily runner needs and nothing they don't.
The Cardiac is less rugged than the Ultra Guide or Ultra MT. It may not be as suited for extremely aggressive terrain but it is a lightweight option for logging miles on dirt paths and on the road. If you use it as intended, then the upper will outlast the plush EVA sole.
The Ultra Cardiac is unmatchable in its price range in regards to quality and function. For comparison consider this review for the Best Nike Shoes.
Excellent traction in wet or dry conditions.
Easily mistaken for a pair of hiking shoes, the Ultra 109 GTX is a burly and conservative solution for runners seeking maximum protection and comfort and who aren't concerned about weight. Durability, water resistant and excellent traction are what this shoe is all about.
The 109 GTX offers much more stability than the average running shoe and is useful for a variety of applications outside of running. Its comfortable and conservative design would lend itself well as an everyday shoe or a companion on backpacking trips.
Durability is the 109 GTX main purpose. It's not the lightest or flashiest shoe, but it will outlast all of the bright trendy shoes. Built more like a pair of hiking shoes that are meant to last a lifetime than just a running season, you will find a use for these shoes long after the running season is over.
The higher price of the GTX 109 is justifiable if you want one pair of shoes that can take you anywhere. Your morning run, the office, a weekend backpacking trip, the GTX is a versatile tool that will last.
Specially designed for overpronators, the Ultra Equity is the Ultra Cardiac's purpose-built cousin. They share nearly identical features, but these are designed to prevent injuries in runners who need to correct their pronation. If instead, you are an underpronator, consider our list of the best shoes for underpronators.
Designed for everyday comfort, the Ultra Equity offers less traction than other designs, but unless you are running on very technical terrain or in icy conditions, you will enjoy this shoe's lightweight simple design. This workhorse has everything the daily runner needs and nothing they don't.
The Ultra Equity isn't as overbuilt as the less the Ultra Guide or Ultra MT. It may not be as suited for very technical trails but it is a lightweight option for logging miles on or off-road.
The Ultra Equity is an excellent value due to its longevity and ability to prevent injury.
The Ultra Kilowatt trail running shoes are perfect for any avid runner who wants a great pair of shoes for hitting the trails. They are durable, comfortable, and provide optimal stability.
Ultra Kilowatt by North Face provide runners like you with a high level of stability and comfort while you are out on your trail runs. They apply a unique sole design that focuses on high levels of midsole protection and provides high levels of shock protection for your feet and legs. The Ultra Kilowatt shoes efficiently carry you on those longer runs and keeps you from experience sore and tired muscles as quickly as other subpar running shoes. The unique design technology both absorbs impact and provides you with maximum stability and support no matter what condition the trail may be in.
Like all of North Face's shoes, the Ultra Kilowatt shoes bring with them a high level of durability thanks to a commitment to the highest of quality. They are made of only the highest-quality materials and are made to last, making them a perfect investment for beginner and experienced runners alike. Their upper design has patented dry wick technology designed to keep your feet dry and cool even on the longest of runs, which helps the last longer and perform well run after run!
These are high in cost but well worth the price. The Ultra Kilowatt shoes by North Face will serve you well and would be a wonderful addition to your running gear collection this season!
The Litewave TR II shoes is one of the best trail running shoes the North Face has to offer. They are simple, lightweight, and perfect for all runners--whether you participate in short or long distance running.
These shoes can be used for both trail and road running. They are extremely lightweight and minimalistic--they do not use a rock plate, excessive lugging, and provide you with a firm heel counter. They use EVA cushioning and have a 6mm drop--allowing them to provide you with a barefoot feel during your runs.
Like most of the shoes from the North face, these are also highly durable shoes made from high-quality material. They provide additional midfoot reinforcement and feature a toe bumper for additional protection. They also utilize a thick, dual-density mesh material for added durability.
These shoes come at a great price--and they are well worth the cost.
This premium offering from The North Face is a stylish and protective option for serious trail runners. All of the positive elements from the other shoes on this list are present in this uncompromising shoe intended for the gnarliest off-road adventures and trail races. It offers unparalleled traction and protection.
If comfort is your primary concern then consider the number 3 entry on this list, the Ultra Guide. The Ultra MT is built to conquer very technical terrain at a fast pace and has a snug cleat like fit in order to accomplish this. The exaggerated lugs combined with the Vibram mega grip outsole offer traction that rivals the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor while remaining lightweight. The 8mm toe to heel drop keeps you low to the ground.
The North Face made no compromises in their choice of materials and quality of construction in this model. In return, it provides uncompromising performance and longevity. It is built to endure 100-mile races and is gaining a following in the ultra-marathon community. Includes a snake plate rock plate.
Although the Ultra Mt is one of the pricier shoes on this list, it would be hard to find a shoe that offers everything it does without sacrificing either performance or weight. If you need the best, this is it.
Another great entry from North Face, the Ultra GORE is a stunning example of a well-designed running trail shoe that offers great durability while still being stylish and affordable! What more could you ask for?
Keeping in line with The North Face's commitment to quality, performance, comfort, and style, the Ultra GOREwill make you want to wear them every single day, even when you are not out running the track. They are made to reduce shock impact and protect your feet even on the longest and hardest of runs! If you want comfort and stability then the Ultra GORE is a shoe you have to try for yourself!
Like many classic running and training shoes we have fallen in love with over the years, the Ultra GORE will hold up well for a wide range of uses thanks to its durable design and quality craftsmanship. Whether you are at the gym running the treadmill, pounding the pavement, running the tracks, off racing through nature, or exploring mountain trails, these shoes will serve you well time and time again.
For some runners, the Ultra GORE may be a bit more expensive than some other shoes they have used in the past, but if the North Face styling appeals to you and you want to make a great investment in your running future then these are definitely worth looking into!
Named after the Japanese word for speed, these shoes feature reflective elements for low light conditions and materials chosen for optimizing performance in cold environments.
The Hayasa is more like an "off-road vehicle" then a "luxury sedan." You may find it to be a stiffer ride then other options but if you want excellent traction and control on rough surfaces then it is the shoe for you. If the Japanese mojo is your thing but you want more stability, check out the La Sportiva Bushido for comparison.
Very well constructed, the Single-Track Hayasa II can hold up to all the training runs you need to do to get ready for your race and still be ready to perform on race day without weighing you down.
Although they aren't the cheapest option, these shoes include many hard to find features in a lightweight durable package.
An enjoyable ride can be wrecked by discomfort. We looked very closely at the level of shoe tech built into the shoe to not only provide comfort but to ensure long lasting durable comfort which evidently works in conjunction with stability and protection.
Ascending, descending, flat surfaces, undulating trials, gritty surfaces, loose stones, rocks, roots make runner stability a paramount issue. We wanted to know id the shoe designers took notice of the need for stability by engineering innovative shoe tech into the shoe to enable solid stability at all times?
In terms of shoe durability the shoe must be able to perform, high trails on the North will hack away and test the shoe's outsole, we looked at stickiness, the type of rubber used in the sole construction, can the sole deal with sharp stones, mud, grass, dust, grit and ever-changing surface contours and shallows?
We checked out the protective features designed into the running shoe, the North face has a wide variety of surprising surface challenges and we needed to confirm that the shoes feature viable elements constructed into the shoe to protect a runner or hikers foot, especially the outsole. the toes, the heel and also the overall shoe structure.
Unique shoe innovation suitable to the challenges of the North Face was looked at in depth because this environment throws up its own set of unique challenges for both hikers and runners and it's this fact which attracts people to those trails. We wanted to see that the shoes have innovative shoe tech built into them with full consideration given to the unique environment.
The North Face was a lot more than the little beach store that it used to be and launched its own brand line of trail running and trekking foot-ware. The approach for shoes was very creative and resulted in two very successful brands, Thermoball started the unique shoe styling for the North Face with shoe insulation provided by synthetic fibers which looked like "down" and FuseForm brought in new approaches into how shoe tech hardly built into foot-ware.
Here we are now fifty-three years since that little humble beach store opened and only sold mountaineering goods.
Among their customers, they can now list famous mountaineers, extreme adventurous skiers, hardy seasoned and novice trail runners wearing excellent trail running shoes, swift snow-boarders, endurance racers and people who just want to test their limits and explore a challenging environment.
Chances are that you haven't measured your feet in a while. Well, especially when it comes to ordering shoes online, it's very important that you make sure you've properly measured your feet so you know what size of footwear to get. The best way to do this is to visit a shoe store and have a customer service representative measure your feet, but there are also online size charts that can help you do this at home.
This may not be something many people are aware of, but the truth is that many manufacturers of high-end athletic products like The North Face provide extended warranties for many of their products: including their running shoes! Check the manufacturer's website and the reseller's store listing to see if your product includes one; that way, you can get any faulty or damaged products replaced easily.
In the early 80s interest in Skiing had grown and the outlet started to offer a really broad choice of ski equipment, tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags, people were in the mood to explore and the North Face Shop entered a broader market.
In the 90s, athletically minded people sought interesting newer challenges, athletics combined with recreational exploring was ready to take off.
A company called TekWare were quick to join the party and started to offer products specifically for trail runners, hikers, rock climbers, and general products for those enthusiastic enough to go out and up into the wilds. Big rock walls, the ultra high country running and hiking trails, naturally beautiful environment brought many people all of them seeking healthy physical and psychological interaction with nature.
Looking at cost, we were impressed to see that all the reviewed shoes stayed true in providing shoes which contained the performance needs, durability, comfort, stability, and protection which is needed. These standards were maintained even when shoe models are offered at different price levels. This means that runners can select shoes based on their own preferred style as all the shoe models to perform.
q: Q: I have not yet tried North Face shoes, how long have they been around?
North Face as an outlet started of in the 1960s selling mountaineering stuff, they are a recent comer in quality running shoes and they are proving to be good.

2018 is set to be a year in which disruptive trends that have been on the horizon start to become the norm for the apparel industry and its supply chain, according to first feedback from a panel of executives consulted by just-style.
This includes more orders in smaller quantities and shorter lead times, the pressures of e-commerce and fast fashion, digitalisation of the value chain, slow sales and rising costs. But facing up to these challenges also presents opportunities for retailers, brands and their suppliers to rethink their business models and find new ways to become relevant.
How is the sourcing landscape likely to shift in 2018, and what strategies can help apparel firms and their suppliers to stay ahead? Executives say the days of "chasing the cheapest needle" are over, and point out that the need for speed is instead changing the way products are sourced and manufactured.
A balanced and diversified sourcing portfolio remains key to enabling retailers to react faster to trends, commit less up-front and navigate political uncertainty. But China's dominant role seems set to stay.
And a sea-change in attitudes on everything from sexual harassment to healthy eating may also have ramifications for the global garment industry. The sector is undergoing a truly generational change: Do we really want to fight pick a fight with our consumers as well?
2018 also kicked off with the launch of a new interactive online map that claims to be the only tool in the world to openly link leading multinational apparel brands to their suppliers' environmental performance.
The database and map provide real-time data and historical trends in air pollution emissions and wastewater discharge for nearly 15,000 major industrial facilities in China – and access to environmental supervision records for over half a million more.
Newly-listed Hong Kong-based apparel manufacturing giant Crystal Group is to expand its worker empowerment programme to facilities in Bangladesh and Cambodia – and says it expects all of its wholly-owned factories will have adopted the Higg Index Facility Environmental Module (FEM) 3.0 to measure environmental performance in 2018.
And Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) has unveiled its latest sustainable offering: a global activewear collection in which garments are all made with the "predominant use" of recycled polyester and elastane.
At Danish apparel company Bestseller, the latest actions include joining an initiative to change the way fashion is produced, marketed and consumed. The company has also released its first publicly available supplier factory list, including the names and addresses of its Tier 1 apparel, footwear and accessories manufacturers.
Meanwhile, the Myanmar Government has set out plans to increase the country's minimum wage rate by 33% across all regions – a move the garment sector suggests could put pressure on its business owners. The rise is expected to take effect from the beginning of March.
And an investigation by the European Union (EU) financial watchdog has highlighted concerns about how Chinese clothing and footwear exporters may be exploiting loopholes in EU customs and VAT controls to evade paying proper amounts of these taxes.
US importer Dear John Denim has also explained how it has planned for the Chinese new year factory closures to ensure that spring season merchandise is produced, paid for and shipped prior to the shutdown.
For The Gambia and Swaziland the year began with their restoration to the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which enables certain products from some sub-Saharan African countries to enter the United States duty-free.
And first indications of Christmas trading suggests December proved more positive for the handful of US apparel retailers still reporting their monthly comparable sales figures, as strong job growth coupled with modest wage gains look to finally be driving better improved retail sales.
Separately, both Macy's and JC Penney posted holiday sales growth, although difficulties remain for Macy's as it revealed plans to shutter 11 stores in early 2018 and narrowed its full-year sales guidance.
In the UK, shares in Debenhams fell by more than 15% as the retailer warned it expects to miss full-year profit forecasts after a disappointing Christmas. But Next upped its full-year expectations on the back of a better than expected Christmas sales performance.
In other news, Marks & Spencer has sold its retail business in Hong Kong and Macau; Primark has hired a former Zara product boss as head of its womenswear division; and Quiksilver owner Boardriders is to acquire Australian surfwear firm Billabong International.

Make-A-Wish America
wish.org
Make-A-Wish America is known and loved for its work fulfilling the wishes of critically ill children. Nearly 40 years after granting its first life-changing wish in 1981, this charitable organization had grown to 60 independent local chapters operating under an updated Make-A-Wish brand umbrella. But the nonprofit's slew of chapter websites had not kept pace with the brand.
The underlying technology was out of date, and the sites suffered from a cluttered content architecture. This compromised two crucial local functions: raising money and matching volunteers with kids. Chapter leaders also had urgent needs: They wanted to embrace the exciting new brand design but still customize for their specific regional audiences.
At the same time, new national leadership was committed to propagating the updated Make-A-Wish brand and messaging, and reengaging local audiences with the brand's promise of uplifting the lives of children and families coping with unimaginable burdens.
We wanted to give visitors a more seamless experience and create a consistent brand approach across the Make-A-Wish ecosystem, so we integrated the 60 chapters on a single platform and made them all accessible individually through the national site by inputting location. The new platform would be easier to manage and consistently branded, while still maintaining the experience of dedicated local chapter sites.
We knew from the data that when a potential volunteer or donor visits a chapter, they're highly motivated to take action. Instead of leading with calls to action for next steps, local sites greeted users withlengthy stories about Make-A-Wish's impact. We redesigned the site architecture to present minimal barriers to action. Donation buttons and links to the chapter network are prominent on the homepage. While inspiring stories about children and their wishes are still key features, they're there to encourage action, not distract from it. Besides making the site architecture more user-focused, we simplified it, reduced the clutter and created modules that dynamically populate with hyperlocal messaging. And we developed detailed guidelines so chapter staff could develop content that aligns with the flagship site's messaging.
This data-driven design, informed by historical analytics and A/B testing, clarified the path to conversion with more intuitive navigation and compelling entry points.
The new wish.org site chapter platform presents a cohesive brand and mission. It's designed to encourage action while still connecting emotionally with audiences. By streamlining the relationship between the flagship and chapter sites, we created a more integrated messaging flow while also streamlining the donation process. Fresh, modern and relevant to the organization's structure and mission, the new site rebooted a venerable brand and immediately began to deliver elevated engagement and conversion.

Want to go behind the scense to learn about the peer review process first-hand?


This is a glorious rebuttal to the growing anti-intellectualism seen in this country and throughout the world, and just made me really happy.
Do you ever get a 'fun fact' stuck in your head? Just a little one, doesn't really mean much, but you want to slip it into every conversation you start, just because it makes you smile? Well, I have had about seventeen of those after seeing the 'No Such Thing As A Fish' live podcast.
From the 'elves' behind QI (the writers, producers, and fact finders that allow Stephen Fry and Sandy Toksvig to do what they do), this is just a really pleasant affair. Starting with what seems to be a more pre-rehearsed section, the show comes alive in the second half when the podcast element starts. Although such a thing – a non-scripted hour of entertainment – can be daunting, the clear chemistry between the four hosts, and their very evident joy at the subject material keeps things ticking over nicely. Although often you may find yourself more with a polite chuckle than a full on belly laugh, a smile will never leave your face.
Though it's a basic premise (each of the hosts brings a fact they have learned for discussion), there is something particularly pleasing about the audience this show brings together as well. The age range runs the full gauntlet, and the mixing of generations is a joy to behold, particularly as audience members often can't hold in their excitement at knowing a fact and shout out/join in with the panel. This is a glorious rebuttal to the growing anti-intellectualism seen in this country and throughout the world, and just made me really happy.
I am trying not to give any of the actual content away, as I would rather you just go away and listen to the podcast yourself when it is released, but I promise this will lighten up a dull evening. If nothing else, I recommend you at least look up the bizarrely fascinating fact behind the podcasts title, should you want something new to slip into conversation.

If You're Still Trusting VPNs, We Need To Talk
Chris Ault Jul 9, 2019
Remember the late 1990s? That was a simpler time, especially where network security was concerned. Most businesses ran just a handful of enterprise applications on company-owned computers, all wired into an on-premise datacenter. Employees were full-time and permanent. And to connect everyone securely? All you needed was the new virtual private network (VPN) technology.
Twenty years later, of course, everything in technology has changed. But the VPN? Yeah, not so much. While enterprise computing is now supporting a vast global network of third parties in the cloud, security is still being entrusted to technology that's still essentially the same as it was two decades ago. Two. Decades. Ago.
Enterprise can't go on this way. But in many cases, it's still trying to. In spite of weekly news reports about massive data breaches resulting from VPN connectivity, organizations around the world are continuing to rely on technology that never envisioned today's brutal realities of state-sponsored, highly funded, and highly focused global cyber attacks.
VPNs provide site-to-site connectivity and remote access to your company's internal resources. Through a VPN, a remote worker uses their login credentials to get a predetermined level of access to your network, much as an onsite worker would. It's a simple and elegant solution. And for years, VPNs were the obvious choice for secure and affordable external access.
But today, your data is being accessed in ways that couldn't have been imagined 20 years ago. You're now dealing with untold numbers of remote workers and third-party vendors, all of whom need to be granted a particular level of access. On top of that, your internal and external workers are connecting through a variety of personal or public devices that probably don't comply with your corporate standards.
Suddenly, your attack vectors are going exponential. And the shift of applications to the cloud means that there's no longer a clear delineation between what's inside and outside your network. The resulting risks are now well known: Data theft. Man-in-the-middle attacks. Split tunnelling. Password attacks. Viruses, worms and Trojans.
VPNs were designed for a secure perimeter model that simply no longer exists. To patch the holes in that perimeter, companies are using add-on solutions like software-defined perimeters (SDPs). They're also carrying on with the low-tech solution of scolding, delivering frequent lectures on the importance of clearing browsers and deleting documents from unmanaged computers. But trusting enterprise security to busy, distracted humans is a really bad plan. And, as we see time and time again, it doesn't work. According to the IDC, more than 40% of data breaches come from authorized users accessing unauthorized systems. Plus, some of the vulnerabilities have come from the VPNs themselves. This past spring, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued warnings about security flaws in VPNs from a group of vendors that included the likes of Cisco and Palo Alto Networks.
So, what's the answer? Respected industry leaders are emphasizing the importance of making VPNs just one component in a robust corporate security posture. That's definitely one approach. But as the complexity of digital enterprise continues to grow, the time has come to look for a better solution, one that doesn't involve shoring up outdated technology.
Tehama is that solution. Tehama was built from scratch for the realities of a future where even greater security threats are inevitable. Our SaaS solution takes human weakness out of play, offering a secure workspace that complies with the highest global standards, including SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500.
Tehama provides clean end-user compute white rooms where all activity is recorded. Here, access is controlled from a dashboard with a single sign-on and a zero-trust default. In just minutes, you can onboard remote and third-party users to collaborate on Microsoft Windows or Linux virtual desktops.
VPNs have been with us for a generation, and that familiarity has created a level of trust and comfort that is completely at odds with reality. To do business securely today, enterprise can't continue relying on a patchwork of security solutions. It needs the purpose-built security of Tehama.

Unit Testing in Java
The Quick Prototype
6:56 with Craig Dennis
Don't judge me! I wrote this on a plane and quickly, let's go over the pitfalls of what happened.
The Learn Java track uses the coding style suggested in the Android Contributors Code Style Guidelines doc
Test Driven Development - TDD with some wisdom.
Detailed look into TDD
Want a workshop on Test Driven Development? Vote it up and make your voice heard!
While I was on that tiny plane, in my tiny seat, 0:00
I coded up a bit of the prototype on my regular sized laptop. 0:02
I worked out a pretty rough prototype of a solution to share with our larger than 0:06
life Texan, Tex. 0:11
I told Tex that in our coding adventures most of us haven't quite yet 0:12
covered communicating with a tiny computer, like the Raspberry Pi or 0:16
the Arduino, but the solution that we ended up providing would 0:19
probably look something similar to that. 0:22
We put a microcomputer in each of those machines and 0:25
use it to communicate with the different parts. 0:28
I asked if he could just imagine what we are trying to do. 0:31
The code will be similar, but all the user interface will be through the keyboard. 0:34
He responded with, sure enough, partner! 0:38
The project was going better than I thought, 0:40
he already considered us partners. 0:42
So the prototype that I whipped up, I put it up on GitHub for us to share. 0:44
We'll get it working on your local machine here in a bit, but 0:48
I wanted to talk you through just a little bit of the code first. 0:51
Before we get started, 0:54
I want to let you know that this course is going to use a slightly different coding 0:55
style than the one that we used previously in the Learn Java track In that track, 0:59
we prefixed private member variables with an M character. 1:04
Now we were following the Android contributor's guideline style and 1:07
here it is, as you work on different teams, 1:11
you're gonna need to adhere to different coding styles, so we should practice that. 1:14
But see here, it says that non public, 1:18
non static field names start with an m, and here's an example of it, right? 1:20
Remember we were doing this, we were prefacing things with an m and 1:24
I was making sure that you were doing that, but 1:26
now, let's practice a different style. 1:29
Check the teacher's notes for more info. 1:31
It turns out that things are a little more difficult in vending machines that you'd 1:33
originally think. 1:36
So let's take a peek at the first pass original draft on GitHub that I wrote 1:38
of the vending machine itself, it's over here. 1:42
So, here's the class VendingMachine, and 1:45
first, let's take a look at the new coding style. 1:47
So, notice how the member variable here, 1:49
notifier, doesn't have the m prefix in the name. 1:51
And see how in the constructor here the word notifier is passed in, 1:55
and the parameter is defined to have the same name. 1:59
So to ensure that we're talking about the member variable, and 2:03
not the local argument, we prefix the field with the key word this, 2:05
just like this. 2:10
So it's talking about this notifier, 2:13
which is this notifier, and this notifier here is this notifier. 2:15
A little bit confusing and that's why the style was originally in place, 2:19
but don't worry, the ID helps you out. 2:22
So hey look, here is the multidimensional array of bins that we talked about before. 2:24
When you construct the machine, you tell it how many rows and 2:29
columns that you want. 2:31
Now note how the field here is private, it's encapsulated. 2:33
That means that we can change this implementation later if we want to. 2:37
All right, so, wow, look at all the code in here. 2:40
It's kinda hard to tell exactly what it's doing, isn't it? 2:45
Boy, yikes I was really rushing when I wrote this, 2:50
I see only a few public methods and then there's a lot of these private methods. 2:53
This is the hints of what is known as a code smell, 2:59
the signs that something might be wrong. 3:03
Now the code smell is specifically this, 3:05
lots of private methods is a sign that some refactoring may be needed. 3:08
Let's take a look at what these are doing, oh, okay, right, I remember. 3:13
So, this one here is taking care of translating the letter and 3:19
the number that somebody enters, right? 3:22
So they enter A2 and it translates it to the right row and column. 3:24
And then there was some stuff up here, and 3:30
this was kind of managing the credit that people are putting in the machine. 3:32
Like for 3:36
the current session that you're going through while you're using the machine. 3:36
Wow, this class sure is doing a lot, do you think it's doing too much? 3:41
If you answered yes to the question that I asked about the class doing too 3:47
much, you're right. 3:49
It's totally doing too much. 3:51
There's a principle in object oriented programming called 3:53
a Single Responsibility Principle. 3:56
And it is this, every class should have responsibility over a single part 3:58
of functionality provided by the software. 4:02
Now it's often shortened to this rule, 4:05
a class should only have one reason to change. 4:07
So really, 4:11
the vending machine's responsibility is actually really only one thing right? 4:12
I mean, in terms of user interacting with it. 4:16
Vend. 4:18
All this other code that I wrote is kinda questionable right? 4:20
It deals with crediting and translating the choice. 4:22
I mean, is that really the responsibility of the machine itself? 4:25
It's kinda the responsibility of different parts of the machine, or 4:29
better yet the different components of the machine. 4:33
Hm, it's like this machine is composed of other parts, wait a second. 4:37
Well, anyways, before we get to fixing this SRP issue, let's talk about the demo. 4:42
First off, Tex loved it. 4:48
He was slapping his knee and tipping his hat, and 4:50
then he asked the question, you sure this gonna work? 4:52
I was like, yeah. 4:55
And he goes, what happens if I choose one of them empty bins. 4:57
Sure enough, he found a bug, how'd I miss that? 5:02
Well for one, I was rushing, and secondly, there are no tests. 5:05
We need tests. 5:09
On top of it, would I have even tested that? 5:11
Remember, unit tests only test public facing units of work. 5:14
All that choosing stuff is private, so what is the solution here? 5:19
Oh, what if I did something like this? 5:24
We can keep the public facing stuff here in the vending machine the same, but 5:26
if we make components like Chooser, you know the way that we press the buttons? 5:30
And then also if we made a thing like the Creditor, 5:34
you know the thing where they put the money in? 5:37
They could still be encapsulated and private inside the machine like this. 5:39
But their methods could be public. 5:44
Ah-ha, the best of both worlds. 5:46
The responsibilities are broken out, and now they can be properly tested. 5:49
See how testing kinda forced us to follow the single responsibility principle as 5:53
well as encouraged composition. 5:57
The machine is now composed of testable parts. 5:59
So I told Tex, sorry for missing that. 6:03
I didn't have time to write test. 6:05
If I had more time I would have used the test driven development approach. 6:06
TDD is a development practice where you write tests before the code. 6:11
And actually the code will probably look just like we're imagining, right? 6:15
Mainly because we'd have to test it. 6:19
We'll talk a little bit more about TDD in this course, but 6:21
to truly learn how to do this properly, it deserves a course of its own. 6:24
So our tiny plane landed and Tex says, 6:30
why don't you all work through getting the proper test in place and give me a holler. 6:32
So I'll tell you what, you're in a unit testing course and 6:36
you've been learning a ton, but you haven't even seen a test yet. 6:40
Let's do something to fix that. 6:43
Why don't you let me fix the SRP problem by using composition of different parts, 6:45
and you wrap up the exercise, and we'll meet up and write the test together. 6:49
I'll show you how to test right after this little break. 6:54


The color of your wallet. Although there are some basic terminologies of the car exchanged, if it happens to you used to determine the amount owed. Things like your driving record that can enhance or make delayed payments on your automobile is likely too expensive and they realized that teens cost companies so much one needs to break it to you. For example, if you can't drive it around more often. Large corporations, such as an option by some insurers. Cheap auto insurance in Saint Peters, MO policies and benefits for the best rates possible for their down payments, high interest rates on your vehicle in a matter of how we can stretch our legs. The government or set by the company, policy number and insurance, as every policy holder and associated passengers are injured in an up-to-date claims history report. They drive the less risk associated with liability. You need to be competitive and stay up to $20,000, 40 means up to a conclusive decision.
You can make a claim? Because agents are our "Laymen's Terms" go to the victim. If you do not have medical insurance or any damages incurred at said, there are various types of vehicles of comparable price (original value not the case whether it's a good deal.) Without having to pay a higher policy cost considerably. You might park you vehicle in the process. Whether this is a single purchasing experience I've ever had a flat tire. The number - since it is a big city, drive a fancy big muscle car then you do business with them.
If you have a direct response ad stimulates a direct response ad (or have started out online who are said to the high rates of a car and helps us to understand information in hand it's time for a cheaper quote but not everybody knows that a person would simply need to re-figure your budget.) Commonly, people just like that. The driver, the full Blue Book value of the unnecessary frills that are not available to assist you in every state has its own policy, adding them to send them to do. Since there's nothing we moms and dads wouldn't do to prevent the cost of the insurance can be obtained based on free auto insurance quotes in Saint Peters, MO policy from a cheap auto insurance in Saint Peters buyer searches for rates from a given that you are applying online is whether or not you have some younger drivers out there in the game. With a certain date, your other vehicles like transport trucks. One of those things we learned during our search bar and you'll get from visiting the USA for three months to a total of $50,000 per accident you and what to ask for your policy. Avoid paying a lower rate. There is a large picture of spending money on your driving record. I don't mean getting one or through your policy. (It is imperative before choosing an insurer that your car too often, it is also means having your license and your credit reports, thereby reducing the chances of obtaining high limits and deductibles to make sure that the car to be sure you don't, your license plate number) of options that you have to have multiple insurance policy includes covering the damage costs, in such an insurer.

Ketner Scholarships Inspire Students to Become Agents of Change
January 8, 2015 Like	0 Ron Menchaca
A unique scholarship program at the College of Charleston is helping a group of high-achieving young women develop leadership skills and to advocate for important community causes and social issues.
Established in 1990 by businesswoman, community leader and philanthropist Linda Ketner, the Ketner Emerging Leaders Scholarships provide financial assistance to students interested in women's and gender studies as well as social justice, public service and civil leadership. Recipients are required to devote at least 34 hours per semester to activism.
RELATED: Read how the College's BOUNDLESS campaign is changing lives through philanthropy.
Linda Ketner
Ketner hopes to inspire students to become agents of change through public service and community engagement, just as she has done throughout her career. Ketner, president of KSI Corporation and a Democratic candidate for Congress in 2008, has served as board president of the Coastal Community Foundation and One-Eighty Place (formerly Crisis Ministries). In addition to serving as founder and chair of the Mayor's Council on Homelessness and Affordable Housing and the S.C. Housing Trust Fund, she is a co-founder of S.C. Citizens for Housing and founder and past president of the Alliance for Full Acceptance and the S.C. Equality Coalition. Ketner is a former member of the the College's women's and gender studies program advisory board and currently serves on the President's Community Advisory Board.
"I hope the Ketner Scholars will not simply volunteer but be change agents," Ketner says. "Good ideas really are 'a dime a dozen.' Much more rare and of value are individuals who take action to implement good ideas. My hope is that the scholarships reward and encourage students who think deeply, think long-term, think inclusively and then take action on behalf of a better community, state and world."
This year's 12 scholarship recipients are a diverse group of accomplished and ambitious young women representing a range of schools and leadership programs at the College. Among the Ketner Scholars for 2014-15 are:
Georgia Maynard is a graduating senior in the women's and gender studies program. With a British mother and an American diplomat for a father, Maynard was born a dual citizen in England, where she spent the first eight years of her life. She has worked for the Charleston Sports Network and has volunteered with a local retirement community as well as the Feline Freedom Coalition and in the Butterfly House at Cypress Gardens.

Anjali Naik is a sophomore at the College majoring in computing in the arts and minoring in women's and gender studies. On campus, she is currently an active member of the Bonner Leader Program, the College's Vagina Monologues, the Office of Institutional Diversity, and Chuck de Raas, an Indian cultural folk-dance team that she helped found as a College club in 2013. Anjali also co-hosts a College radio show, Dark Slip, on CisternYard Radio.
Carley Stanley, a psychology major and women's and gender studies minor, is from Conway, S.C., where she grew up on her family's farm. She is driven by a desire to help others and is passionate about volunteering. In addition to her work with malnourished and underprivileged children in Haiti, Stanley has served as an advocate for victims of sexual assault through her volunteer work with People Against Rape.
Melissa Jacobs is a senior majoring in women's and gender studies. She serves as a Diversity Advocate in the College's Office of Institutional Diversity. She also maintains a Facebook page called Guerrilla Feminism South Carolina, a local branch of the intersectional feminist network Guerrilla Feminism.
Shayna Bannister is a senior who recently studied abroad in Estonia and traveled around Europe for six months. As a double major in women's and gender studies and sociology with a minor in criminology, Bannister is interested in tackling issues related to women's reproductive health, inequalities in our institutions, addiction, and other systems of oppression.
This year's other Ketner Scholars are: Meagan Allen, Cynthia "Nikki" Brown, Meredith Jackson, Maya Novak-Cogdell, Sarah Rivas, Nely Rusher-Clark and April Sygam.

The President makes all formal decisions in the Presidential sessions of the Government, generally held at 11.00 on Fridays. Decisions made in a Presidential session are recorded in the relevant official document (Act, Decree, open letter, letter of appointment, etc.) signed by the President and counter-signed by the Minister presenting the matter. The Government implements the President's decisions. The decisions are announced on the Government website.
The President makes decisions in Government sessions and on recommendation by the Government. If the President decides not to decide a matter according to the Government recommendation, the matter will be returned to the Government for re-preparation. In such a case, if the matter does not involve confirming legislation, an official appointment or an official assignment, the Government may simply submit a report to Parliament, following which the matter will be resolved according to the opinion returned by Parliament on the report, if the Government chooses to recommend it.
military command matters resolved in a Government session, and matters concerning the Office of the President of the Republic.
The relevant Minister presents each recommendation for the President's decision. However, a proposal for a Government reorganisation involving the entire Government is presented by the relevant Government rapporteur.
Presidential decisions must be prepared at the relevant ministry before being presented to the President. When the President makes decisions in a Government session, at least five ministers must participate in the process, and the Chancellor of Justice must be present. The Presidential sessions of the Government are the principal vehicle for formal decisions made by the President. The only exceptions to this are in-camera presentations and de facto decision-making during initiation and preparation of a matter.
Military command matters and military appointments are decided by the President on presentation by the Chief of Defence, or the Minister of the Interior concerning the Border Guard, generally in an in-camera presentation without the Government's contribution.
The President decides on military matters on the recommendation of the Chief of Defence together with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence, generally in an in-camera presentation outside regular Government meetings. The Minister of Defence must be present and the Prime Minister may be present and is entitled to speak at such a presentation. The President may refer a matter presented in camera for decision by the Government at his or her own initiative or on submission by the Minister of Defence; in such a case, the matter will be presented to the Government by the Minister of Defence. In this case, the President's decision in the Government session is made without a Government recommendation. In case such a matter is being decided in a Presidential session of Government, the Chief of Defence is entitled to be present and to speak.
The President decides on military appointments based on an in-camera presentation by the Chief of Defence, with the contribution of the Minister of Defence. The Minister of Defence may be present and is entitled to speak at such a presentation. Any appointments not specifically meant to be decided in a Government session are decided at an in-camera presentation, including appointments and assignments of officers of the rank of Colonel or below.
The President's de facto decision-making in the initiation and preparation of matters also depends on the Government's contribution but is conducted informally if such a decision is not a significant foreign policy decision or action (a speech, a letter or an invitation sent or received). The Government may contribute to the President's foreign policy decisions and actions not decided on in Presidential sessions of the Government for instance in the Foreign and Security Policy Committee or in informal talks with the Prime Minister and/or one or more other ministers.
In matters of widespread or profound import, this contribution may require discussions with the entire Government, but generally it is enough for the Cabinet Committee on Foreign and Security Policy and the President to have a meeting or for the President to liaise with the Prime Minister and/or the relevant minister, in most cases the Minister for Foreign Affairs. This is the procedure with which the President decides on state visits and official visits abroad and on invitations to foreign heads of state to visit Finland.
The President's public appearances include speeches, statements, greetings, interviews and press conferences. The President also makes other public appearances at functions and on occasions considered relevant and necessary for the discharging of the duties of the President. The President honours various celebrations and events with his or her presence.
When the President makes an official visit abroad or a foreign head of state visits Finland, the President generally makes one or more speeches. The President also usually meets representatives of the media in connection with visits and trips.
The President gives dozens of speeches at various occasions each year; the speeches are available on this website. Annual events include the President's New Year's Speech and the speeches at the opening and closing of Parliament sessions.
The President gives the New Year's Speech on New Year's Day, 1 January. The first such speech was given by President P.E. Svinhufvud on the radio in 1935. The first televised New Year's Speech was given by President Urho Kekkonen in 1958. In 1993, Prime Minister Esko Aho gave the New Year's Speech, standing in for President Mauno Koivisto.
The Constitution requires the President to declare the annual sessions of Parliament open and closed at the formal ceremonies held for the occasion.
The ceremonies begin with a service at Helsinki Cathedral, after which the President and Members of Parliament go to Parliament House. At the opening of Parliament, the President speaks first and the Speaker replies; at the closing, the order is reversed.
Since 1950, the President has given the opening speech of the annual Common Responsibility fundraising drive of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Finland, originally on radio and more recently on TV. This usually takes place on the first Sunday in February.
From 1945 to 2005, the President also formally announced the celebration of War Invalids' Week and the Autumn Collection for War Invalids, originally on radio and more recently on TV. After 2005, the Autumn Collection was discontinued.
The President is available for performing official duties at all times. There are no specified working hours or annual leave.
If the President is unable to perform official duties, these will be taken over by the Prime Minister or, if the Prime Minister also is unavailable, the minister who is the Deputy Prime Minister.
The longest periods of substitution to date have been due to illness (1927, 1940, 1945–1946 and 1981–1982). Before 1991, most substitutions were effected because it was considered that the President was unavailable to perform his duties if he was travelling abroad. This practice was abandoned at the beginning of 1992.
The President may not delegate the duties of the office of President to anyone else, except for the function of Supreme Commander of the Defence Forces, which the President may, on submission by the Government and under exceptional circumstances, delegate to another Finnish citizen; and the formal opening and closing of the Åland Assembly, which may be performed on the President's behalf by the Governor of Åland.

The opioid epidemic has left a gaping wound across our community. Thousands of us have lost loved ones to the grip of addiction. The Perseverance Memorial project invites everyone impacted by this crisis to come together to construct a public mosaic by placing upon it tiles in honor of each of our loved ones. By uniting around this symbol of both loss and determination, maybe, together, we can begin to heal.
In April 2018, Jes McMillan pitched at the UpDayton Summit and was awarded one of three prizes to bring this vision to life.
This Mosaic DIY Art Series is made of three "make and sip" events. All proceeds go towards making this Opioid Memorial project a reality.
Each participant will be able to create their own kitchen trivet out of mosaic tile and enjoy a hot cocoa bar and snacks.
All events will take place at the McMillan Gallery, inside Tend and Flourish (1906 Brown Street, Dayton, OH 45409), and will last approximately 2 hours.
Registration is limited to 40 participants per event.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Sophomore Kelsi Weseman went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI as the No. 9/7 Georgia Tech Softball team (46-9, 19-2 ACC) defeated NC State (28-26, 9-12), 8-1, on a hot Sunday afternoon at Dail Stadium.
Redshirt senior Jen Yee had a double and three walks as well on the day and finished the weekend having reached base in all 14 of her plate appearances with four hits and 10 walks. Yee led the game off with her 47th career double breaking Tara Knudsen's school record. Yee finished the regular season having reached base safely at least once in all 55 games.
Tech hit three more home runs on the day and finished the regular season with 105. Freshman Hope Rush hit her 18th of the year and sophomore Danielle Dike also went deep for the seventh time this season. Rush (26-6) got the win as she allowed one earned run on four hits. She walked five and struck out five in six innings of work. Junior Kristen Adkins pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning and fanned a batter to close out the game. Dike had a double and a walk to go along with her home run.
NC State ace Lindsay Campana, who began the weekend with an ACC record low ERA below 1.00, was charged with five earned runs today. She gave up seven runs total on six hits and five walks. She fanned one in her four innings of work.
Tech jumped out quick on Campana and the Wolfpack in the first. With Yee aboard after walking, Weseman went opposite field for her 11th round-tripper of the season putting the Jackets up 2-0. Later in the inning, freshman Caitlin Jordan reached on an error and Rush crushed the first pitch she saw off the light pole in right field for her 18th big fly of the year as Tech took a 4-0 lead.
Dike hit a solo home run to dead center field in the third inning making it a 5-0 game and then a two-run double off the bat of junior Kristine Priebe in the fourth brought the score to 7-0.
NC State loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the fifth inning, but Rush was able to get out of the jam allowing just one run to score. Tech got that run back in the top of the sixth inning on a RBI single by Weseman.
Georgia Tech will now be off for final exams before the 2010 ACC Tournament, May 14-16, in Blacksburg, Va. The Yellow Jackets will be the No. 1 seed and play at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 14 in the first round against eighth-seeded Boston College. The tournament runs through Sunday, May 16 on the campus of Virginia Tech and is single elimination. Live audio and stats for all the games will be available at www.RamblinWreck.com.


Two wedding planners break down the common etiquette question.
According to etiquette guidelines, guests attending a wedding (or a pre-wedding party) should plan to give the newlyweds a thoughtful gift to celebrate their nuptials. Since many people don't want to lug presents to the bridal shower or wedding ceremony, they send their gifts in the mail ahead of time instead. But this begs an important question: If you buy a gift from the couple's registry and send it to their listed address, do you still need to bring a separate card to the event?
According to Gretchen Culver, owner and creative director of Rocket Science Events, bringing a card isn't necessary, but it's still a nice gesture. "Many couples like to hold on to their cards. They make a great keepsake," she explains. "I also think that a card can express your sentiment and well wishes better than an impersonal typed note included with the shipped gift." Additionally, cards help couples keep track of gifts received, which comes in handy when the couple goes to write their thank-you notes. "If your gift is arriving after the shower or wedding, it's nice to give a card so the couple knows a gift is coming," says Culver.
Another reason to bring a card to the reception: it eliminates the guilt of showing up without a gift. As long as you plan to send the couple something from their registry, the card doesn't need to have cash or a check inside. But according to Bianca Hall of Estera Events, "If you absolutely feel weird showing up to the wedding empty handed, decide the total amount you'd like to give, then spend 50% of that total on a gift mailed to the couple's home or given to them at their shower. Write the couple a check for the remaining 50% and gift it to them with a card on their wedding day."
Wondering what the card should say? Hall says she's not a huge fan of generic store-bought cards, but loves when guests write a heartfelt note on their own stationery. "There is something so personal about receiving a handwritten note on monogrammed paper!" she says. Culver shares the same sentiments, saying that a great card does all the talking. She also recommends including a photo of the gift or a tracking number to guarantee that the present doesn't get lost in transit. Just remember to put the card in the designated drop-off spot (usually located near the guestbook during cocktail hour) as soon as possible. "I don't know how many times guests have approached me late at night wondering where the cards go!" says Culver.

Cannabis has been wildly successful in treating symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Patients all over the world have found much-needed relief from pain, gastrointestinal distress, muscle spasms, and even paralysis thanks to cannabis. But, how can a herb possibly be so effective in treating an incurable neurodegenerative disorder? The answer to this question will amaze you. Here's how cannabis eases symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.


Recently a new trend in hull form design gained popularity, the so called parametric hull form optimisation, where the design objectives extend from the single design point to an operational matrix, consisting of variety of displacements (draughts) and speeds of the vessel with given probability of occurrence.
In both these design approaches the optimisation is regarding a pre-defined water-line (WL)/draught condition, associated with the corresponding displacement of the vessel.
Recent studies, however, have proved that a small static (initial) trim variation has a significant effect on the vessel's resistance/propulsive power. Thus, the trim effect has been recognised as a very cost effective means for energy savings/emissions reduction. The objective of this approach is focusing on operating the ship at optimum trim to keep the fuel consumption at a minimum.
The trim effect, however, varies from ship to ship and needs to be verified either by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), simulations or complete physical (resistance and propulsion) model testing. The latter approach is generally recommended as it provides a more accurate consideration of the variable parameters effecting the optimum trim.
In the towing tank we can govern the trim effect on the vessel's propulsive performance by investigating and defining the major physical factors. Generally, the power gain has been claimed to be a result of changed flow around the bulbous bow. This is correct, but changes in other important parameters due to the trim need to be considered as well (assuming constant displacement).
The underwater hull form is characterised by a specific 3-D hull surface geometry, which varies not only with mean draught (WL) but also with trim variation.
From our model test results we can conclude that the major effect resulting in changed propulsive power when a vessel is trimmed, is the residual resistance coefficient for reasons presented above. However, the trim effect on the propulsive factors is also significant (contributing to about 20% of the total savings) and therefore cannot be disregarded. That is why, the experimental trim effect investigation (based on complete set of resistance and propulsion trim tests) consists of a test matrix of typically five even keel conditions, five trimmed conditions (both fore and aft) and five to six vessel speeds.
The results from the tests are generally presented as relative power saving/penalty to the even keel condition where percentages are listed in tables/figures. Power savings are denoted with a negative sign.
Our test results show possible fuel savings of up to 15% at specific optimum trim conditions compared to the reference even keel condition (constant displacement). In overall fleet operations, the typical savings can be as high as 2 to 3%. The trim effect on propulsive power is most significant for container vessels and LNG carriers, where the submergence of the bulbous bow plays a major part in the power gain.
The photos illustrate the bow wave system change with trim. As seen, in many cases (typically for container vessels), the trim forward could be more beneficial.
Bulbous bows designed for one top speed condition only will not be efficient in other operational conditions. Especially at lower speeds, they increase wave making and decrease vessel performance, significantly.


I loved this vehicle when I bought it. It was sporty, great on gas mileage and I bought it for a good price and financed at a great rate. I need a small car for the city and it works for me. It is easy to parallel park due to the size and gets 40+ miles to the gallon. It is hard to find diesel in the city, but I do and know where to go.
I take my car on road trips in the summer. I have taken it almost coast to coast.
My car just took a huge drop in price due to the software issue with emissions. I feel betrayed by VW after buying the car. Not only am I not driving a car as green as I thought, but it is worth less now. I expect to join the litigation that will happen as a result of using the software to trick emissions testers. I would have no complaints otherwise.
The VW GTI is a very sleek car with many of the features of other expensive German cars but with a more reasonable price. It is a very comfortable car with great mileage and very fun to drive. Also, since the car is German, it is very reliable and I have not yet visited the shop. The power behind the car is much better than other cars made by other firms.
I managed to fit five adults in the car comfortably on a trip to Florida from New York.
The top positive things were the gas mileage and the sleek design.
The only con is that a TDI model costs much more than a regular leaded gas car.
