YK Osiris Jokingly Says He Owes Drake Money After Flexing Cash at Dior Store Following Lil Baby Debt
Following the shopping spree at the fashion store in Toronto, the 'Worth It' rapper writes a message on his social media account that says, 'Damn now I owe Drake money lol' after owing the 'Woah' hitmaker $5,000.
AceShowbiz - YK Osiris has turned his money problem into a joke. The "Leave Me On Read" artist jokingly said that he owes Drake money after flexing some cash at a Dior store though he already owed Lil Baby $5,000.
On Tuesday, November 30, the 23-year-old rapper took to his Instagram Story to share a clip that saw him spending his hard-earned cash at a Dior store in Toronto. Following the shopping spree, he seemingly spent some time at Drake's lavish mansion.
Osiris then gave his followers a glimpse inside of Drake's house. After having so much fun with the cool features at the "Certified Lover Boy" artist's mansion, he wrote a joke, "Damn now I owe drake money lol I'll pay him next year [laughing with tears emojis] he will be alright lol," before concluding, "We will start fresh."
When taking a tour of Drake's mansion, Osiris shared a video of the "Hotline Bling" hitmaker's electric toilet which left him confused. Over the clip, he wrote "Wtf," along with several laughing with tears emojis. He also showed off the "Degrassi: The Next Generation" alum's trophy room. "This what u call greatness," he captioned his Instagram Story.

Prior to his Dior shopping and Drake home visit, Osiris sparked concern among his fans and followers over his well-being after he faced heavy backlash online following his money issue with Baby. "God take me away, please," he wrote in an Instagram Story, adding a crossed fingers emoji.
In a following post, Osiris penned, "I just want to sleep and don't wake back up. I know y'all would love that [love emojis]." In a separate Story, he added, "Let's see how everyone got something to laugh about then, it's all fun and jokes till y'all don't got nun to joke about nomore [sic]."
Osiris' concerning social media posts came after Baby asked him to pay his $5,000 debt while Osiris was caught shopping at a jewelry store, Icebox. "Osiris, let me get them five bands, bruh," Baby said in a video shared on Icebox's YouTube channel.
Osiris then laughed off Baby's demand and told him he can't wait to pay him back, but that didn't satisfy the "Sum 2 Prove" spitter. "I know that rap s**t go up and down," Baby added. "If you f**ked up right now, don't worry about it. I'll get it from you. I'll wait on your next hit."
Later in the clip, Baby asked Osiris how long he owed him his money. "About three months," Osiris replied. "That's a lie," Baby clapped back, before saying, "Probably like five or six months. I should get a little interest."
After Baby asked him to pay his debt, Osiris flaunted a pair of earrings that he paid for $325,000, which prompted fans to troll him, including former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. In response, Osiris said, "It's your life and that's your money. Do what you want to do with it." He added, "Ochococo mind your mutha....And I'm still rich b***h. Mind your business. Stay in your business."

SEOUL, Dec. 23 (Korea Bizwire) – Poor after-sales services largely caused by too few repair centers are causing serious inconveniences for over one million owners of imported vehicles here, a consumer agency said Friday.
As of the end of November 2015, the number of foreign vehicles registered here came to 1.26 million, according to the Korea Consumer Agency (KCA).
However, the number of service centers operated by 20 major import vehicle brands, including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, only stood at 359.
The number compares to 2,245 service centers operated by just two top automakers here — Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp.
The problem became more serious when looking at service centers operated by seven best-selling import car brands that include Volkswagen and Honda.
The number of service centers run by the seven vehicle names stood at 142 as of end-2012, meaning each service center was responsible for 2,953 vehicles, according to the agency.
The number again compares to some 530 cars for each service center of local brands.
Such a lack of service centers for imported vehicles is also raising safety concerns as a long line of vehicles to be repaired at each service center may lead to poor service.
The consumer agency said the number of consumer complaints filed by imported car owners for poor service came to 3,807 between January 2012 and June 2014.
The number translates into 476 cases for each 100,000 imported vehicles operated here, more than 3 times higher than 145 for locally produced cars, it added.
"Import brands could consider expanding their service centers by establishing partnerships with private local auto repair centers should they find it difficult to expand their own number of service centers," a KCA official said.

How and why the data privacy mandate is expanding
Lisa Loftis
February 22, 2019, 6:30 a.m. EST
The recently celebrated Data Privacy Day was an international effort to raise awareness and promote data- privacy and -protection best practices. It originated in Europe in 2007 and was adopted by the US several years later.
While recently searching for quotes on data privacy to honor the day, I came upon an eye-opener from 2009 by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt:
"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
To be fair, the quote was in response to a conversation about how tech companies share information with authorities, but the context was that the amount of information these companies really know about consumers would "shock" and "confuse" them. We really have come a long way on data privacy ... or maybe not.
The largest fine levied under the GDPR so far, $57 Million, came shortly before this year's Data Privacy Day (January 28), and was given to Google for not properly disclosing to users how data is collected across its services — including Google Search, Google Maps and YouTube. The regulators claimed that Google did not meet the requirement of obtaining clear consent and that consumers are largely unaware of the data collected and shared by Google. Note that Google disputes the claims.
Unfortunately, I think I know what the regulators mean when they talk about the need for clear consent. Early last year, a screen popped up on my smart phone asking me to rate places and businesses including a law firm, a retail store and a national park. These were all places I had visited recently.
It turns out that every location I had physically been to in the last several months with my cell phone in tow – which is almost everywhere I went - had been tracked, stored and visible to me and who knows who else. I certainly never knowingly gave explicit permission for them to track my physical location. Even worse, rescinding this permission was an arduous and non-intuitive process that involved navigation across six different screens.
This is the antithesis of clear and unambiguous consent. I don't mean to pick on any particular company or industry here –because in our data-driven world this type of tracking is the rule rather than the exception. We must change our thinking on this. Both consumers and Legislators are demanding it.
Consumer Expectations are Significant
While my informal poll of non-tech working consumers indicates that most are not aware of International Data Privacy Day, they do have definite expectations around data privacy.
A recent survey of US consumers illustrates how focused consumers are on the issue. Seventy-three percent of respondents said their concern over the privacy of personal data has increased in the past few years and 67 percent think the government should do more to protect privacy.
When it comes to the type of protections consumers are asking for – the responses mirrored protections currently afforded to European citizens under the General Data Protection Regulation:
83% would like the right to tell an organization not to share or sell their personal information.
80% want the right to know where and to whom their data is being sold.
73% would like the right to ask an organization how their data is being used.
64% would like the right to have their data deleted or erased.
Even more ominous is what has happened to consumer trust as awareness has risen. When asked to identify industries where consumers were very or extremely confident regarding the ability to keep data secure, the health and banking industries scored the highest coming in at an abysmal 47 and 46 percent respectively. Government or state agencies were next at 29 percent and social media companies ranked last with a dismal 14 percent.
What's more – consumers are not just expressing concern. They are taking action. Sixty-six percent have taken steps to secure their data, like changing privacy settings, removing a social media account or declining terms of agreement.
Legislators are Paying Attention As Well
Consumers are not the only ones paying attention.
In another European privacy enforcement action, German antitrust regulators have ordered Facebook to seek users' explicit consent to combine non-Facebook data from Instagram, WhatsApp and various 3rd party websites into a comprehensive social media profile. Facebook must submit compliance proposals or face significant fines of up to $5 Billion. Facebook plans to appeal, however, the top antitrust regulator for the EU has indicated that it is watching this case.
Facebook is also facing numerous lawsuits over data misuse and ad targeting including one brought by Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, accusing the social media giant of wide-ranging privacy violations. They are also under investigation by the FTC to determine if they violated a 2011 FTC consent decree requiring them to give consumers clear and prominent notice of how information is collected and used and to obtain consumers' express consent before sharing information beyond established privacy settings.
Both Google and Facebook have been sued multiple times for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act which imposes requirements on companies on collecting data on children under 13 years of age. Moreover, the City of Los Angeles is suing the IBM subsidiary, The Weather Channel, for "covertly mining the private data of users and selling the information to third parties, including advertisers."
A battle is also brewing in the US over state and federal privacy laws. Several states have passed laws aimed at data privacy and ethical use. The most prominent and restrictive of these is the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 -set to take effect in 2020 and billed to be the toughest data privacy law in the country (incorporating many GDPR-like restrictions).
Many companies have lobbied against this and other state bills, pushing for less restrictive measures and asking that a uniform federal law supersede all state legislation. To this end, both the US Chamber of Commerce and the Internet Association, which represents companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, have released their own recommendations for a federal bill. The Data Care Act introduced by a group of US senators, a competing congressional bill, The Information Transparency and Personal Data Control Act, and the White House recommendations round out the plethora of proposals.
Regardless of where we end up in terms of data privacy regulations – several things are clear. The privacy mandate is expanding. Consumers expectations are increasing. And there will be regulation here in the US as well as in Europe. If you don't keep up, there will be consequences.

Q: Tomcat reloading exploded war with spring-loaded There's alot of questions on different forums [1] [2] [3] about this topic but none seem to provide a definitive answer. I've tried different combinations suggested in the various posts but I have yet to succeed.
My goal is to make compiled source code in a standalone tomcat (8) reloadable - just like the embedded tomcat reloads newly complied sources in e.g. spring-boot or Grails. There are a few constraints that I need to comply with:

*

*No Grails or Spring-boot is available

*No Maven or Gradle is available

*The tomcat should read the exploded war file from an external location

To keep things simple I use a very simple JEE app with Spring MVC as POC for this before I move on to the real deal. The setup is as follows (for now):

*

*Exploded war builds into directory target/exploded

*Tomcat is setup with default settings except from Context.xmlwhere the two lines regarding WatchedResource are removed. Context is not set to reloadable="true".

*The Tomcat server is run from within IntelliJ Idea (2016.3) like this:

where the "exploded" folder points to the target described above. And the "Server" tab like this:

The server starts up and the app is running fine. I then try to change some code, save it, and build a new exploded war file. I can see the class files change - but nothing is reloaded in tomcat.
Can anybody please elaborate? Is this approach even possible - in contrary to what many posts suggest? How is it possible in the embedded tomcat in e.g. Grails?

Iron Ladies (cast iron tram/bus shelters of the British Isles)
They don't make them like they used to. When it comes to tram and bus shelters of the British Isles, I'm afraid that on the whole it's true. There's the occasional bespoke example which is more interesting, but those are unfortunately rare. Standard modern bus shelters are usually effective (despite the fact that the advertising contracts which often pay for the installation of bus shelters sometimes leads to poster walls blocking the view of oncoming buses…), but they tend to be lacking in character. Sometimes, they're almost defiantly unstylish. The same goes for their larger brethren at tram stops.
Some time ago, we looked at some British Art Deco tram stop survivors. This time, we're going slightly further back into the past to look at some Edwardian tram shelters which have effortlessly survived the transition (in most cases, anyway) to bus transport. They are still providing shelter, whilst the sheer level of care and attention which went into their design ensures that they remain positive additions to the urban scene, despite their advanced years. These are grand old ladies who retain a certain style.
The common theme amongst them all is cast iron, at the time a popular material for building civic structures. These shelters are also to a greater or lesser degree ornate, in precisely the kind of fussy way the Modernists would soon be railing against, and designing Streamline Moderne shelters instead. Today's examples are shelters from the final flowering of the intricate Victorian cast iron work which can be found on buildings as small as municipal bandstands through to the interiors of Bazalgette's cathedrals of sewage at Abbey Mills, Crossness, Deptford and Pimlico in London.
First up then, the south coast town of Dover, where a lone survivor of the local tram network (which closed in 1936) stands at the junction of Folkestone Road and Elms Vale Road. It's just glorious, and rather more pleasing on the eye than most modern shelters.

Its beautiful appearance is testament to the restoration prowess of specialist building maintenance and refurbishment company Redec, which restored the shelter in 2013 after years of vandalism (see here). Though it's not immediately apparent from this photo, the glass toplights are etched in Victorian style, and the lower panels are cast with a decorative design too (there are some closer views here). There's a wrought iron crest running along the roof ridge. Grade II listed by statutory heritage body English Heritage in 1988, it was the work of Dover Corporation Tramways.
Next up is the northern town of Preston, Lancashire. It's hard to reconcile with the recently listed Brutalist monster which is Preston Bus Station, but this delightful little former tram shelter can be found on Black Bull Lane at the junction with Lytham Road.

Just look at the crest running along the top of the shelter, not to mention those ornate Prussian helmet-style finials. Quite super. Local newspaper the Lancashire Evening Post demonstrates that Lancashire County Council appreciates this piece of high quality heritage design (see here).
It's not all good news. The only British town to retain its original tram network, Blackpool, used to have rather appealing cast iron shelters until just a few years ago, although they became very neglected towards the end of their working lives. Of slightly later construction than the others shelters in this entry, so far as I can ascertain they have all now disappeared from the streets. This picture shows what we're missing out on. Though badly vandalised, the detailing on the lower panels of these lost beauties was wonderful, and the whole thing exuded style.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the sort of shelters that replaced the cast iron ones:

Oh dear. That's a Beastly Transport if ever there was one.
I've been saving the best two locations until last though. Another Grade II listed tram shelter can be found in Hyde, Cheshire. It survives, well cared for, and still happily serving bus passengers. And the passengers, assuming they're potential readers of this blog and they notice at all, must be pretty happy too. It is big and it is clever.
The tram, and now bus, shelter on Market Street, Hyde. By Serigrapher [CC BY-SA 2.0] via this flickr page
Grade II listed in 1986, English Heritage is a big fan of the, "moulded braces, crocket capitals, and naturalistic enrichment to the pierced spandrels which support the canopy." I don't think it's alone.
It's actually one of two local survivors. The other (not listed) is smaller but of very similar design, and now finds itself in the middle of a pedestrianised street. It's still giving shelter, but not for public transport passengers. As a one-time tram shelter, it deserves a bit of the attention usually lavished on its bigger brother, so here it is (and there's a better view of the pierced spandrels with naturalistic enhancement as well).

Finally, outside of Britain (and indeed the UK) but within the British Isles, is St Peter Port bus station. Located on the small Channel Islands isle of Guernsey, it's a bus station quite in keeping with the scale of Guernsey as a whole. And anyway, what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in substance and design.

Guernsey did have a tram system which closed in the 1930s, and I strongly suspect this shelter dates from that operation, but it is also quite possible that it was a public shelter which has become used as the bus station. In the summer it is festooned with flowers, though the plastic hanging baskets aren't strictly in keeping with the design.
This beautiful hexagonal shelter (one of three at the same location) is a loud condemnation from our ancestors of the dull and utilitarian public transport shelters we insist on building today. It's not rocket science to build a bus or tram shelter which is attractive as well as practical. We know this because the shelters above were designed by people who had never built a rocket. Yet we cleave to dull and uninspired designs today for reasons of cost, or to avoid controversy. At some other time, we'll take a look at some of the bus and tram shelters over recent years which are the exceptions to the rule. But for the most part, we could, and should, do better.

There is a very similar structure to the one in Fleetwood to be found in Northampton with decorated panels and cresting on the roof line. I will look up it's location for you if you do not already know it.
Yes please – do post the location. It should be of interest not just to me but also any other readers of this post. Much appreciated.

Possibly one of these shelters is at Kingsthorpe Grove, Cock Hotel junction.

I think it's obvious at the moment how obsessed I am with The Greatest Showman. I find myself commenting on every status message about it, and gushing about how I've essentially become the basic fan girl of Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Keala Settle. I love Zendaya for reasons, but outside of Rewrite the Stars and that incendiary look that she throws Zac Efron during This is Me she didn't have a ton of voice time. The Greatest Showman soundtrack has been on heavy rotation since I had the good sense to buy it last year before viewing the movie.
If I'm being honest, I'll have to say that the entire soundtrack is amazing, but I have clear favorites. In order – The Greatest Show, The Other Side, From Now On, and Come Alive are the four that I play without regard to my husband feeling that I may be writing myself into stalkerville. This Is Me, Tightrope, and Never Enough are my trio of second most played numbers. Rewrite the Stars and A Million Dreams round out the rest of the album, and provide balance for my erratic dancing each and every single time I hear the bass drum and WOAH OH OH OH burst from my portable speaker that I've been known to take on errands. Yes, I'm that person. Also, shout out to Harmon Kardon for the wonderful bluetooth speaker that make me 2018's version of Radio Raheem. Now all I need is a top hat, and a red embroidered jacket and I'm good to go. I swear on all that is good and holy I might dress up as Hugh Jackman dressed as PT Barnum for Halloween. Yes, you read that right. I'll be HUGH JACKMAN playing PT Barnum.

I'm not sure WHAT it is about the entire soundtrack written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul that sends me right to the edge of wanting to join the next Broadway Musical as an extra, but it just does. Zac Efron's The Other Side duet with Hugh Jackman in the pub was such a wonderfully choreographed piece that even my girls know it's magic. Can we also talk about the bartender in that scene? I mean, it takes talent to slide shot glasses on beat, AND serve them up six at a time. Then to have the nerve to sweep on cue? Amazing. Good thing they had choreographer Daniel 'Cloud' Campos take that role. He killed it and then some. When you're negotiating contracts while throwing peanut shells, dancing on the bar and downing shots with Hugh Jackson, choreography is key.
After careful research, I found out that Pasek & Paul wrote these songs BEFORE their LaLaLand fame, and I won't ever really introduce them because of that movie. They'll forever be burned into my memory as the geniuses behind one of my top five soundtracks. There aren't even five soundtracks that I'm in love with. The Lion King is one, The Preacher's Wife is another. To some, I'm not hard to please, to others, I'm SUPER picky. So now my top five is a nice round top three, and I can live with that for now.
Have you seen The Greatest Showman yet? If so, how many times have you seen it? I'm thinking we need to head to the theaters this week for a singalong. Ahem.
Also, I just got word that the DVD drops March 6th – which is how we'll be celebrating Mr. Houseful's birthday – no matter how crazy he thinks we are. By the way, don't let his protests sway you. He absolutely ROCKS OUT Never Enough whenever it is allowed to play in rotation. One of these days I'll get him when he's humming it and cooking in the kitchen.
This soundtrack has been blasted happily all throughout our house. The words, the sound everything about it is beautiful + inspiring. Can't wait to buy it when it comes out on DVD.
March 6th friend! It's coming soon!
I want to hang with Hugh, Zac and the bartender just to see that dance number again!


We should expect a wedding soon, as Minnie says she is not planning to stay engaged for a long time.
Three months after the proposal, Minnie Dlamini has finally let us in on how fiance Quinton Jones proposed to her. In an interview with Real Goboza, she said she had not seen her man in a while because of work when he probably made up his mind to pop the question.
When she returned home, Quinton suggested they take a long drive in to the bush, something they usually do when they want a quiet time together.
"And we drove out to a lake house, and he had all my favorite food and all my favourite stuff in this beautiful house. And then at sunset, he literally was like 'please give me a glass of champagne'.
"I got the kitchen, poured him a glass, poured myself a glass, and we go outside, and I was just looking outside and thought it was pretty. And he was like 'baby', and I was like 'yes', and he was like 'baby!' and I was like 'what?!' and then I turned around, and he was on his knee.
"I was shocked for a while, I was kind of for a moment a bit confused," she said, mostly because her bae has a tendency of going down on one knee and asking her to marry her whenever he buys her jewellery.
She called her mother first, then her brothers and father and then her best friend to tell them the news.
Minnie dated Quinton for two years before he proposed and said she was not planning to stay engaged for a long time, so we should expect a wedding very soon.

I'm sitting here in the lounge at SFO thinking back on the last week, the majority of which has been spent meeting my new workmates and attending the Percona MySQL conference.
For me it has been as much of a family reunion as it has been about seeing the wonderful things going on in MySQL.
Having joined Continuent last month after an 'absence' in NoSQL land of almost 2.5 years, joining the MySQL community again just felt like coming home after a long absence. And that's no bad thing. On a very personal level it was great to see so many of my old friends, many of whom were not only pleased to see me, but pleased to see me working back in the MySQL fold. Evidently many people think this is where I belong.
What was great to see is that the MySQL community is alive and well. Percona may be the drivers behind the annual MySQL conference that we have come to know, but behind the name on the passes and over the doors, nothing has changed in terms of the passion behind the core of the project.
Additionally, it's great to see that despite all of the potential issues and tragedies that were predicted when Oracle took over the reins of MySQL, as Baron says, they are in fact driving and pushing the project forward. The features in 5.6 are impressive and useful, rather than just a blanket cycling of the numbers. I haven't had the time to look at 5.7, but I doubt it is just an annual increment either. When I left Oracle, people were predicting MySQL would be dead in two years as an active project at Oracle, but in fact what seems to have happened is that the community has rallied round it and Oracle have seen the value and expertly steered it forward.
It's also interesting to me – as someone who moved outside the MySQL fold – to note that other databases haven't really supplanted the core of the MySQL foothold. Robert Hodge's Keynote discussed that in more depth, and I see no reason to disagree with him.
I'm pleased to see that my good friend Giuseppe had his MySQL Sandbox when application of the year 2013 – not soon enough in my eyes, given that as a solution for running MySQL it has been out there for more years than I care to remember.
I'm also delighted of course that Continuent won Corporate contributor of the year. One of the reasons I joined the company is because I liked what they were doing. Replication in MySQL is unnecessarily hard, particularly when you get more than one master, or want to do clever things with topologies beyond the standard master/slave. I used Federated tables to do it years ago, but Tungsten makes the whole process easier. What Continuent does is provide an alternative to MySQL native replication which is not only more flexible, but also fundamentally very simple. In my experience, simple ideas are always very powerful, because their simplicity makes them easy to adapt, adopt and add to.
Of course, Continuent aren't the only company producing alternatives for clustering solutions with MySQL, but to me that shows there is a healthy ecosystem willing to build solutions around the powerful product at the centre. It's one thing to choose an entirely different database product, but another to use the same product with one or more tools that produces an overall better solution to the problem. *AMP solutions haven't gone away, we've just extended and expanded on top of them. That must mean that MySQL is just as powerful and healthy a core product as it ever was.
That's my key takeaway from this conference – MySQL is alive and well, and the ecosystem it produced is as organic and thriving as it ever has been, and I'm happy to be back in the middle of that.
I'm a huge fan of Kickstarter and back last year I was working on trying to expand my range a little from the rather narrow range of tech-related projects I'd been funding. One particular art project caught my eye. Firstly, it was local – well, within 50 miles – which is a surprise when so many are either US or frequently London based. The other was the name, and you cannot help be caught by the expression Pert & Simple. See http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hollyjames/exhibition-pert-and-simple?ref=live.
Unfortunately for Holly and Anna, the Kickstarter process didn't come up with the goods, but I was happy enough to support a local project and contributed some money to them directly so that they could put on the exhibition.
Holly James' and Anna Salmane's work fits into the category of what I refer to as 'thought provoking art'. That is not to say that all art is not thought provoking, but hat some art is specifically developed because of the emotions and thoughts it is designed to instil.
To best illustrate that point I'll start by talking about Holly's work, because, from a psychological perspective (which is one of my personal interests) this had the most impact on me. Holly has been working with patterns and in particular weaving. Originally starting with white thread, Holly moved on to using fluorescent so that the weaving would stand out against your typical white wall. Despite all of the work that went into the weaving, the chosen presentation mechanism was simply hanging it on nails on the wall. This results in a dramatic, unconventional, if not elegant, demonstration of the work.
For Holly though the most critical part occurred when people started to view the work. People would come in and touch the fabric. Of course, this is a perfectly normal experience. How many of us walk into any clothing shop and starting touching up the fabric? We don't look at these items from a far and judge how well they will fit. It's a textile, we are going to touch it. But this is art. You wouldn't go up and touch a painting, would you? Why touch a textile that is a piece of art? Because that is human behaviour.
So what did Holly do next? At the exhibition, she was working on a "Making a Fluorescent Doormat". Why a doormat? because if people are going to touch your art, why not let people just walk all over it? Of course, this leads to an interesting paradox – the chances are that humans will refuse to walk on something that (a) they are told to walk on, and (b) are explicitly allowed to walk on and (c) would normally be walked on.
That habit of human behaviour, to do the opposite of what you should do, or even what you have been told to do, is such a core part of the human condition it is hard to get away from. To force people into a situation where they are allowed to do something that would be perfectly natural if it wasn't for the fact that you had been told you are allowed to do it serves up an interesting position on the human condition. I would love to be able to watch people and count how many actually walk on the doormat.
There is also a separate aspect, that of the artist being disrespected for their work – people walking all over Holly's doormat directly reflects how she felt when people touched her "Fluorescent Weaving" piece. Does her giving them permission lessen that effect, or give people the right to walk over her?
Holly's work is beautiful, but also has a lot of meaning, both to her, and to those who understand how these items were produced.
And that leads me on to Anna's artwork. Anna's work is also very personal. Sadly, there are no cat-related artworks from Anna yet (although she has promised them!), but they are no less intriguing. "Sorry" for example represents a count of how many times Anna said 'Sorry' over the course of the year, and the counter used to tally up the results. Sorry has itself become such a throw-away statement. We say it when we bump into someone, when we we don't respond quick enough, just for not doing something, and yet really sorry has a very specific, empathic, meaning of sympathy for somebody else's feelings. Yet we will say it to strangers as much as we do to friends and family.
At the launch of the exhibition, one person's first question was 'what happened in March for you to say sorry so much?' – an apt demonstration of how much importance we attach to the word, despite how frequently it is used.
Anna's "Starcounter" is a personal view of the inability to count the stars in the sky – as explained to her by her father. Anna chose to represent this with a simulation of a night sky and a recording of Anna counting to 6000. It takes Anna hours to read through the numbers, and it took her even longer to actually record the material. Does this represent the futility of counting so many objects, or the endless-ness of the stars in the sky? Or both?
The other piece that resonated with me, but forgive me I have forgotten the name, is that of a slideshow of headstones at a war memorial. Each headstone is essentially identical – same shape, name, lifespan, and yet each one represents a unique person, with families, loved ones, and a whole life of experiences. Yet they are so simply, and consistently, represented, so as to almost make they lives meaningless.
These are personal, and yet hugely descriptive examples that to me speak of the dichotomoy between meaningless and meaningful, represented by the same objects.
From this description you would imagine that the entire exhibition is incredibly some and serious. But it's not. Behind the works by both Holly and Anna is actually a layer of humility, if not outright satire as all of the pieces often have a simpler, and, as the title suggests, impertinent edge. Holly's desire for people to walk on the doormat is a tongue-in-cheek poke at the way people treat art. Go ahead, she's daring you to walk on that doormat with a broad smile on her face. Go on. Anna, meanwhile, is remembering her fun summer evenings of counting the stars as a child, and the inanity of saying sorry.
It's only complicated art, with additional levels, meanings, and complexities, if you add them, and that, just as they are hugely personal to Anna and Holly makes them exclusively personal to the viewer. You can get caught up in the meanings if it suits you. Or you can have wry smile to yourself as the artist introduces the works.
Meeting Holly and Anna and talking to them clearly shows their passion for their work, but also the humour and relaxed attitude to the meaning of the pieces. I spent a few hours with them both at their launch event in Nottingham. Anna is working on her BA at Goldsmiths, and Holly has completed hers and, hopefully, working for her MA with the Royal College. I certainly wish them all the success that deserve from work they displayed at the exhibition. It is no word of a lie to say that I feel honoured to have attended and more importantly understood the work of two exceptionally talented artists. Both from their perspectives, and my own.
I was fortunate enough recently to visit Gilmerton Cove. Despite the name, the cove is not located near the sea at all, but outside Edinburgh, and it is one of those places that makes you wonder how such a wonderful and intriguing location can have been kept as such a fantastic secret. We've visited Edinburgh lots of times and been to the castle, on the wonderful walks provided by Mercat tours and many other sites and locations. There is a lot of history and background to the city, all of it rich and colourful, and some of it surprising. I never knew, for example, about the extensive underground caves and crypts which use to fuel the lifeblood of the city producing matches, pins and more.
Gilmerton Cove though is different. It is located underneath a crossroads in Gilmerton and is a short bus ride from the centre of the city, it takes about 25 minutes from South Bridge (which sits above Waverley station). What you are looking for is the Gilmerton crossroads and Ladbrokes. Yes, you read that right. The cove is next, and more importantly, underneath, Ladbrokes.
Underneath gives you the main clue to what makes Gilmerton Cove such an interesting place. Entry is through a small door further down the road (you can just about see the sign from the crossroads), and once you get inside you are greeted by the wonderful staff. We were lucky to visit out of season and so there were only four of us, which gave the tour a little more of the personal touch, and our guide was the amazing Margaretanne.
The key about the cove is that it is really a cave, but it is man made. The mystery is that we don't really know when or where. There are lots of clues beneath the ground of what it might have been, or what might have created it, but not enough information to provide a definitive answer.
The first thing you notice about the cove is that the walls have quite clearly been worked, by person or more probably persons unknown. The area itself is quite large. Think generous 3-bedroom modern house and, in some ways, with a similar structure. There are individual rooms, some with quite clear doorways and entrances. There are also communal rooms and areas. One of these is quite clearly arranged as a sort of dining area, with a clear table up the middle of the room with seating either side.
Note the careful modelling. This is not a convenient natural location; that table is too smooth and deliberate, and the proportions were perfect as a seating area. Also note in the top of the picture a gap which leads up, probably to allow either light in, smoke out, or both.
Another, larger, area is even more intriguing. Another seating area, with a carefully crafted pillar helping to support the ceiling. Not very visible in the foreground of this short is a hole, about the size of a large saucepan, quite obviously carved into the rock. The sides and base are smooth, and there's even a lip around the edge. To me, it was very reminiscent of similar holes in the stonework in Pompeii which were used for keeping food hot or cold. You could easily seat 10 or 12 people here, and while you could hold a banquet, it would be convenient enough to hold a number of people for illicit drinks. And that, they believe, is one of the main uses for this in the past, as a drinking den.
Further rooms, bedrooms?, lead off the main corridor. Some are large, some have dedicated fireplaces, and there are even alcoves and areas to display items. There's even what appears to be a forge, although probably not a particularly efficient one. There are also a number of collapsed passageways, some of which lead in directions such as local churches, and even to just across the road. These are yet to be fully explored.
The only known information about Gilmerton Cove is that of George Paterson, a blacksmith, who supposedly created the 'house' after 5 years of hard labour in 1724. That's a lot of house to have dug out by hand in just 5 years. For one man, even for a group of men, that is quite an achievement. With modern tools, yes, in 1724? There wasn't a jackhammer, pneumatic drill, and the work is too precise to have been achieved with gunpowder, especially when you consider that even today, the shops above are feet and and inches above your head. This is not a deep construction – at one point you can actually reach up to touch the underneath of Ladbrokes next door.
There are carvings and initials around the caves – the sandstone is comparatively soft – but these could have been etched by people 5 years ago or 300 years ago, there's no way to tell.
And the mystery remains. There are many theories, from the Hellfire Club, Knights Templar, and having been created by the Covenanters (http://www.sorbie.net/covenanters.htm) , those people who opposed the interference of the kings of the Stuart era messing the Scottish presbyterian church.
Gilmerton Cove is beautiful from an architectural perspective, but oh so intriguing because we know so little about how it came about. It's a substantial place, and I've certainly been in houses and homes that are smaller today and they are constructed much more easily from bricks and mortar. Ignoring how it was constructed, who constructed it, and why? It's not deep enough to be particularly secret, it doesn't seem to have the reverence to be a holy place (although it could easily have been the location of a more subversive organisation), it doesn't seem to be smokey or sooty enough for a blacksmiths workshop, or even for a home without some serious ventilation. If it had been populated by many people, you would expect more signs of wear and tear. It doesn't look abused, but carefully looked after, and remarkably clean.
Please, go and see Gilmerton Cove (http://www.gilmertoncove.org.uk/) for yourself and see if you can solve the mystery!

I went and printed two signs about Buffel and Elephant seals in general, laminated and pegged them to a wooden pole. I headed to the beach and placed them next to the resting seal. Some locals were placing kelp around Buffel to give an organic barrier to keep onlookers out of Buffel's space, but this didn't really work. Later poles were dug in the sand a loose tape barrier gave some space between all the people and Buffel. The South Easter blew and ripped most of the apart, so a tougher revised barrier was put up and continues to protect Buffel.
Buffel not concerned by the humans passing by.
There was still the question of "Why is he here?"… Why has this Elephant seal been hanging around Cape Town and when will he leave.
Buffel stretches his hind flippers before settling to sleep for the night on Fish Hoek beach.
A small clue in the Buffel puzzle came from Steve Kirkman who messaged me a said "Buffel is probably not from Marion Island, he had no tag. The sealers on Marion tag all the newborn pups. He may be from one of the other Islands." Here Steve Kirman places the tag (16577) on Buffel in 2014.
Steve Kirkman places a tag on the young Buffel in 2014, Cape Point.
Images were sent to me from Patrick Benade, of a young Elephant seal that was actually born in Cape Point in 2012. Elephant seals perform incredibly high site fidelity, and most return to their birthplace to moult breed and rest. This could mean that Buffel isn't lost, that he is truly Capetownian! It's a theory and there is no hard proof, but it is a possibility.

Combining protected areas with natural forest timber concessions may sustain larger forest landscapes than is possible via protected areas alone. However, the role of timber concessions in maintaining natural forest remains poorly characterized. An estimated 57% (303,525 km2) of Kalimantan's land area (532,100 km2) was covered by natural forest in 2000. About 14,212 km2 (4.7%) had been cleared by 2010. Forests in oil palm concessions had been reduced by 5,600 km2 (14.1%), while the figures for timber concessions are 1,336 km2 (1.5%), and for protected forests are 1,122 km2 (1.2%). These deforestation rates explain little about the relative performance of the different land use categories under equivalent conversion risks due to the confounding effects of location. An estimated 25% of lands allocated for timber harvesting in 2000 had their status changed to industrial plantation concessions in 2010. Based on a sample of 3,391 forest plots (1×1 km; 100 ha), and matching statistical analyses, 20002010 deforestation was on average 17.6 ha lower (95% C.I.: -22.3 ha-12.9 ha) in timber concession plots than in oil palm concession plots. When location effects were accounted for, deforestation rates in timber concessions and protected areas were not significantly different (Mean difference: 0.35 ha; 95% C.I.: -0.002 ha0.7 ha).

This weekend the Texas State Bobcats will participate in what might be the biggest game of the year against Georgia Southern, who is an undefeated 7-0 in the Sun Belt Conference and 8-2 overall this season. The Eagles' two losses this year were against N.C. State and Georgia Tech. Georgia Southern leads in numerous offensive and defensive categories across the national and Sun Belt spectrum.
The Georgia Southern offense, which has put up forty or more points four times this year, is looking to continue that trend against a Bobcat defense that has had trouble stopping the run this season. If there is some defensive silver lining coming from this matchup it would be that Georgia Southern has had trouble defending their quarterback Kevin Ellison. This has led to Ellison being taken out of various games due to injury. If the Bobcat defense could find a way to get to the quarterback they might just come away with a win.
The Bobcat offense led by sophomore quarterback Tyler Jones has featured a high-octane option offense that sports the effects of Robert Lowe, Terrence Franks, and Tim Gay running the ball with emphases. That might change this week however with the Georgia Southern defense allowing just 143.8 yards per game in terms of run defense. The Bobcats have got talent in a lot of areas of offense but specifically at the wide out position. Ben Ijah, Brice Gunter, and Jafus Gaines to name a few have dominantly received the ball from Jones multiple times this season.
For more in depth coverage of the game, take a look at the Friday episode of Bobcat Radio's breakdown of the Bobcats against the Eagles coming up this Saturday.

Twin Cities Daily Planet (https://www.tcdailyplanet.net/signal-interference-tuning-meaning-corporate-media/)
Signal interference: Tuning into the definition of "corporate media"
By Rich Broderick | June 12, 2008
Rich Broderick 6/10/2008 • There was an awkward moment at the end of "Minnesota Model: Countering Corporate Media," a panel discussion at this weekend's National Conference on Media Reform.
Alas, I must admit that I was the one who caused it.
The discussion featured presenters from five local media organizations: the Twin Cities Media Alliance; KFAI; Minnesota Women's Press; Minnesota Public Radio; and the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder. Each presenter spoke about what his or her organization was doing to promote media reform. Sarah Lutman of MPR ticked off a long laundry list of undertakings, from MPR's public journalism initiative to social networking/community organizing projects launched by The Current, which operates at 89.3 FM, the frequency once occupied by WCAL, formerly one of the country's oldest member-supported radio services (more on that topic shortly).
As I sat listening, I found myself increasingly uneasy. My unease was underscored by a comment from Kathy Magnuson of the Minnesota Women's Press who pointed out that, although WPM is a for-profit corporation, it hardly fits the description of "corporate media."
Finally, near the end of the question-and-answer period, I could contain myself no longer. I rose and framed my question with an introductory statement about how the very essence of media reform – the ostensible goal of the conference – lies in providing access to voices and communities traditionally excluded from decision-making roles in the media. Not surprisingly this commonplace observation got everyone in the room nodding in agreement. But then I turned to Lutman and asked if she might clarify for me MPR's position on low-power FM radio.
My question referred to the fact that MPR, other big broadcasters, and the National Association of Broadcasters have spent some 10 years trying to smother low-power FM in its cradle. Since low-power FM has the potential to offer the cheapest, quickest and easiest way to open broadcasting up to traditionally underrepresented voices and communities, any media organization interested in media reform ought to be pushing as hard as it can to see LPFM spread, not trying to nip it in the bud.
Or so you'd think.
Which brings me to the main point of this blog. The media reform movement needs to define its terms. What, for example, do we mean exactly when we say "corporate media" as in "countering corporate media?"
Let me take a crack at that.
In a nutshell "corporate media" does not necessarily have anything to do with an organization's economic model – i.e., whether it is for-profit or non-profit or some hybrid of the two. A media organization deserves to be called "corporate" if it embraces what we might call a corporate system of values.
And what constitutes a "corporate system of values?" First, that acquisition and growth for the sake of acquisition and growth are both the means and _the ends_ of the organization's undertakings. Secondly, the organization sees itself as operating in a zero-sum environment. If it is to acquire more, it must do so at the expense of other organizations. If it is to grow, it can only do so by preventing competing organizations in its industry from growing – or from ever coming into existence in the first place. It's a fear-driven mentality that proposes, for example, that because there are only so many readers, only so much bandwidth, only so much donor money to go around, my organization can only prosper if others get less of those things. Third, the organization operates in a secretive and unaccountable manner – after all, you don't want the competition to steal a march on you!
One of the hallmarks of corporate media organizations, then, is exclusion rather than inclusion – the polar opposite of the "media reform" being promoted by the NCMR.
Under this rubric, Magnuson was clearly correct. Minnesota Women's Press does not deserve the label "corporate media" because it is an icon of media inclusion, not exclusion, seeking out traditionally excluded voices and viewpoints. It is also an organization that freely enters into collaborative – and egalitarian – relationships with other media organizations, like TCMA,
By the same token, MPR, though a non-profit organization, clearly fits the definition of "corporate media."
I have no particular grudge against MPR. But when it comes to "corporate media," consider the organization's 35-year record of non-stop growth, its efforts to stymie low-power FM, its earlier efforts to stymie KFAI, its acquisitions, like the purchase of WCAL, that have been dogged with controversy, its appetite for corporate welfare, as demonstrated by its thankfully unsuccessful attempt to convince St. Paul to fork over public money to help build a transmission tower as part of the WCAL deal. These dollars were to come from a special city fund earmarked for economically depressed neighborhoods – which seems a far cry from underwriting an organization with a $150 million endowment. Meanwhile, the last I heard MPR does not feel the public has the right to know what its top people earn.
Lastly, I would cite Lutman's response to my question as a good example of corporate behavior. Rather than answer it herself, she passed it off to an MPR lobbyist who just happened to be on hand in the audience to provide the officially approved version of MPR's position on low-power FM.
In picking up the baton, the lobbyist repeated the bogus claim that low-power FM poses a problem with "signal interference," but that just as soon as this non-existent problem is worked out, MPR is A-OK with LPFM. This happens to be one of the same strawman arguments MPR trotted out when trying to curb KFAI. When I challenged his claim, the lobbyist cheerfully offered to speak with me after the session.
Will you be shocked if I tell you that once the doors opened on the hall, he seemed to disappear from view?
Talk about corporate stylin'!

We must be aware of just one benefit of using a steam bath, that it relaxes us. But there is more to that. We have listed benefits of using a steam bath in spa à Montréal for you below.
When you have circulation issues, particularly in your legs and arms, using a steam room is helpful in this case. Apart from improving the circulation, it also lowers the blood pressure. This can also be attained by releasing the hormone aldosterone. The time spent in the steam room releases this very hormone in many people and relaxing them.
Most of us are walking down the path of life with a lot of stress. When you spend time in a steam room, it lowers the production of cortisol. When this is the case, you feel more rejuvenated and more in control. Increased cortisol also leads to weight gain. So you can perceive a steam bath as a way to lose weight.
As drinking hot beverage is helpful in clear congestion, steam room helps in the same way. When it comes to fighting allergies, spending some time in the steam room is super effective. The wet heat generated in the steam room helps in breaking up the congestion that lets you breathe more easily. Many spas use the eucalyptus essential oils in the steam room which is also effective to open the nasal passages.
The wet heat generated in the steam bath assists in expanding the skin around your pores and let the accumulation of dirt and debris be released. It enhances the look of your skin. Ensure to keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water before you head steam bath session as well post session.
Heat is perfect for healing the sore muscles and stiff joints. Using a steam room post workout is a great way to recover. The heat generated from the steam bath delves deeply into the muscles and evokes your muscles to loosen. The same is applicable for stiff joints. Application of heat on stiff joints render them relaxed and flexible.
It is essential to note that the weight loss happened due to the steam room is the water weight and can easily be replaced when you drink water post steam bath to rehydrate. But spending time in the steam bath on a daily basis is super effective on diet as well as fitness routine.

Homicide investigation leads Missouri deputies to huge gun stash
Posted 5:46 pm, September 15, 2014, by Roche Madden
WAYNESVILLE, MO (KTVI)- An enormous collection of guns along with boxes and bags of money are discovered in the central Missouri town of Waynesville.
Deputies served a search warrant at Hilltop Motors, a place that looks much like a junk yard. Inside they found some 400 firearms, including pistols rifles and shotguns. Some are confirmed stolen. Others were illegally altered and made fully automatic.
There was also lots of cash, bags and boxes of it. Some jewelry was also found.
The investigating is tied to the beating deaths and robbery of an elderly man this summer.
The Pulaski County Sheriff, Ronald Long, who has been in law enforcement 35 years, says it's the biggest collection of guns and cash he's ever seen.
Richard E. Jensen, 49
Richard E. Jensen, 49, has been charged with two counts of unlawful possession of firearms. But the sheriff says there will likely be more charges, including federal charges the A.T.F. is also investigating.
The sheriff believes the search will result in the clearing of dozens and dozens of crimes in the area and possibly across the state.
Sheriff Long says, "It's kind of shock and awe for us. We went in expecting to recover some guns, possibly some stolen property. When we walked in and saw how immense this was there's wasn't a cop with a jaw that didn't drop.
This all relates to the murder of an elderly man who was beaten and robbed earlier this summer. He later died. Five people were arrested. Detectives continued to investigate and their investigation led them to this search.

Official statistics are irrepressible: 70% of patients after TETS require a re-operation in the first year.
Health And Medical Video: Total Ankle Replacement Surgery | Nucleus Health (April 2019).
Despite many publications in the literature devoted to the rehabilitation of patients after hip replacement otalnoho remain unclear and not fully investigated many issues relating to the amount and form acceptable physical activity in the postoperative period to restore motor functions operated joint.
The question of the need for preoperative preparation for TETS not addressed at all or are considered at collecting analyzes, although from my point of view, this period is crucial for faster (up to 1 month) and quality of recovery in the postoperative period. A huge number of prohibitions on any "unauthorized" motion of the operated limb permanently switch the patient from active life and often does not allow full use of future musculoskeletal system. Some successful cases of patients after TETS return to active life only underscore the tragedy of the situation. A known TETS terms of rehabilitation after 6 months or more, are too great to repair muscle and vascular system of the lower limb that has suffered from illness and surgery. Although in most cases after replacing the affected hip implant function in the legs, in practice, is able to recover fully.
Why is this happening? I will try to answer this question in a thesis and tell the specialists how to solve this problem.
Unfortunately, most of the currently used rehabilitation techniques are associated with the appointment in the postoperative exercise exercises with exercise therapy and eliminate the use of simulators force series. If and devices are used, which are called simulators, then the qualitative biomechanical component of these devices is too limited and primitive, which does not allow actively to use muscle pumps of skeletal muscle when restoring the nervous and vascular pathways partly disturbed during the operation. That is, the non-use of force exercises for the muscles of the operated foot in postoperative mode is either not recommended or prohibited.
Therefore, most simple block devices (and then not always and not everywhere) are used, on which the patient uses conventional rope cables to raise and lower the propedated foot on the bed in the postoperative period. In this case, the so-called geometry of movements does not take into account the wife and falls in the plane of the bed of the operated foot, ie higher or lower, more to the right or to the left. About controlling the load language and does not go. Yes, on the eye. Make 5 or 10 repetitions in one exercise, and enough. That is, the moves are for the sake of motion.
Quite persistently advocates the notion that force influence may shift the implant. But the fact is that in modern kinesiotherapy, simulators are used, which makes it possible to control the location of the operated foot, not allowing the ability to move without a command either on the horizontal or on the vertical axis. That is, the thigh is always fixed to the simulator chair, and there can be no tongue about its unauthorized displacement.
I rarely see doctors who work in gyms. The most interesting thing is that the specialists with exercise therapy are not interested in new fitness machines. Apparently, they have in front of their eyes poured bodybuilders, scaring unsportsmanlike people with the size of their muscles. Or heavyweight lifting rod with blurred eyes and bloated veins on the neck. It really scares. But I repeat: the simulator used in rehab, helps to restore the function of the muscles that have forgotten their functions. For example, the back muscles are given to a person so that he can pull up and get out of the pit. The leg muscles - in order to escape in the event of danger, while jumping over obstacles. But all such extreme exercises can only be seen in thrillers, adventure films, but not in life. Apparently, in recent years various extreme sports have appeared. Man is sad for adrenaline. He sat in the car, behind the computer, in the office chair. He is not able to tighten, squeeze, bend without pain in the back. He has atrophied muscles gradually, coxarthrosis arises, joints collapse. He is implanted with an artificial joint. At the same time, finally, the muscles are denervated, that is, they are deprived of their control by the central nervous system. And they start to teach walking. For this purpose, the specialists of the exercise therapy department give exercises on the movement of operated foot in space, even on the floor. But the muscles have forgotten how to do this, and they can so move their foot that the artificial joint flies out of the cup (artificial cavity). And if you take into account the age and the lack of coordination of movements associated with age-related encephalopathy (an option of dementia), then it becomes clear where this figure is taken - 70% of complications after TETS. To prevent this happening, you need to use the narrow-band simulators with the capabilities described above.

Q: JavaFX window setTitle I have a main class which is the following:
public class Window extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage foablak) throws Exception {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Foablak.fxml"));
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);

        foablak.setScene(scene);
        foablak.setWidth(900);
        foablak.setHeight(700);
        foablak.setResizable(false);
        foablak.setTitle("Window");

        foablak.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

}

How can I update the Title of the from another .java class without closing the window and open a new one?

A: Exposing properties using static, just for the sake of exposing, may be considered as a bad design. You have different ways to achieve the same, for example, expose a method from the Window class which sets the stage title.
public class Window extends Application {

    private Stage stage;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage foablak) throws Exception {
        stage = foablak;
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Foablak.fxml"));
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);

        foablak.setScene(scene);
        foablak.setWidth(900);
        foablak.setHeight(700);
        foablak.setResizable(false);
        foablak.setTitle("Window");

        foablak.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    public void setStageTitle(String newTitle) {
        stage.setTitle(newTitle);
    }
}

A: Yes, you can.  Inside of your Application.start() method, save a reference to your primary Stage that you can access elsewhere, and then call Stage.setTitle().
class MyApplication extends Application {

    public static Stage primaryStage;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        MyApplication.primaryStage = primaryStage;

        // ...
    }

}

MyApplication.primaryStage.setTitle("New Title");

As an aside, I would avoid calling your class Window, as that is the name of one of the JavaFX classes.

A: The following may not be the solution you were looking for, but it might be useful for some of the developers:

*

*Scenario: There is only 1 JavaFX app; The app needs to be run
multiple times; You want to differentiate who is running the app

*Attention: Pay attention of the running order of the Main and
Controller class

*Solution: i. In the Controller Class, declare a private static variable, e.g., private static String strWho; ii. Expose strWho by providing a getter method. e.g.:  public static String getWho(){
    return strWho;
}; iii. Implement the initialize method for the Controller, and based on your need, assign a distinct value each time you run the JavaFX app. eg., @FXML
public void initialize() {
    strWho = "you need to have logic here, to have a distinct value each time you run the app";
}

*In the Main start method, right before you call the stage.show, set the title. eg:
   primaryStage.setTitle(Controller.getWho()));
   primaryStage.show();

*One way to implement the logic for distinct value of the strWho each time you run the app: You can have a TextInputDialog in the Controller's initialize method, to accept user input, by asking for a name etc.


We're not sure that anyone nails grain, dairy and refined sugar-free baking quite like Sweet Laurel. We've been sharing the healthy duos' killer recipes for years (these brownies!) and couldn't be more thrilled to get their first cookbook into our almond-floured paws.
Grain-free devotees, get ready for a thrill – Claire Thomas and Laurel Gallucci's brand new and long-awaited Sweet Laurel Cookbook is finally here!

Food photography, or photography in general, can seem pretty tricky for a novice. When I started, my food was sad and, honestly, not the most appetizing. Here are some lessons I learned along the way.
The Lighting First, look at what you're shooting. Is it colorful? Is there a lot of texture? Does it look delicious? Some things taste delicious, but shooting it is a whole other thing (chili and beef stew, I'm looking at you!). So take a good hard look at what you're snapping, decide what you want to emphasize and then focus on that.
Don't use flash. Ever. Natural light is your friend, so find a window. Turn off the other lights. This sounds silly, but in the beginning I kept getting a weird yellow spot on some of my images, and it took me forever to realize it was from overhead lights I had forgotten to turn off.
The Composition Don't just look down at your food and shoot it, use a point of view. I always do three types of shots – the overhead, the straight on, the detail – right off the bat to cover my food.
The overhead: This can be beautiful with a colorful plate or something geometric looking. I like to sometimes push the subject to one side, creating asymmetry that lends itself to graphic elements.
The straight on: Get low, right at table level, and shoot your food from there. You wouldn't shoot a person's portrait staring down at them, so think of food in the same way.
The detail: I love using macro lenses, which allow you to get really close. Most point and shoot cameras have a macro setting, so try to find it. I search out my favorite detail (a perfect garnish, a piece of nut, any little detail) and focus on that. It brings out the texture and looks lovely in a series.
Those Backgrounds + Props I love to collect tea towels, small plates, anything kitchen related, and part of the thrill of shooting is finding the perfect prop that really sets off the food. Use small plates so you don't overwhelm the eye, have fun with surfaces for the plates to sit on, decide if you want to see the background or utilize a wall. Recently, I've started playing around with using a white card as my background. I love the editorial look it gives the food and it's a fabulous canvas to have fun with graphic design, as well.
The Final Edit Finally, don't go crazy with the filters. If you bump the contrast and press "enhance" one too many times on iPhoto, it really doesn't help the food look better.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9-inch Bundt pan with ghee and coat with arrowroot powder, shaking to discard any excess.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon zest and lemon juice until combined. A little at a time, add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring well until a batter forms; then stir in the poppy seeds.
Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about an hour. Invert the bundt onto a plate to release the cake. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, then cut and serve.
NOTE: When we say "grease generously," we mean it. Almond flour is immensely sticky, and the nooks and crannies that make Bundt pans so beautiful also provide the perfect opportunity for ruining your cake. We've tried several different preventative methods and found that ghee truly does work best. Trust us — we've earned our doctorates in reconstructive Bundt surgery. Alternatively, try using a silicone Bundt mold for the easiest release.
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring for 10 minutes, or until blended together. If you want thinner icing, add more coconut milk. For a thicker glaze, add more coconut butter. Allow the glaze to cool completely before drizzling over the cake.

I bought the Sweet Laurel cookbook because I love Laurel Gallucci's yummy recipes posted here on Chalkboard Mag (and I'm not a gluten-free/grain-free person – I just love natural, healthier desserts)! Thank you for featuring stuff like this! It's one of the reasons I love Chalkboard Mag!
I'm also not a dairy-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free individual, but I get into these super healthy kicks Sun-Wed. Anyway, I made the Snickerdoodle recipe two days ago and it was easy peasy! My 13yo son loved them too. Just lightly and naturally so sweet and tender. Just beautiful and elegant. I actually posted my cookie pic on IG.
