Q: Is "inherited" the correct term to explain static method of superclass can be accessed by subclass? Clarification: this question is not about access modifier
Confirmed that B.m() and b.m() statements both works in the following code:
class A {
  static void m() { //some code }
}

class B extends A {
}

class Example {
  public static void main (String [] args) {
    B.m(); // running A's m() static method
  }

  public void try() {
    B b = new B();
    b.m(); // running A's m() static method
  }
}

My question is can we said "static method is inherited"?
if "inherited" is the correct term, if we add a method to B class we same signature of the static class:
class A {
  static void m() { //some code }
}

class B extends A {
  static void m() { //some code }
}

class Example {
  public static void main (String [] args) {
    B.m(); // running B's m() static method
  }

  public void try() {
    B b = new B();
    b.m(); // running B's m() static method

    A a = new B();
    a.m(); // running A's m() static method, no polymorphism
  }
}

In this case, notice that we have no polymorphism, is it the correct term to said that "static method is inherited but not overridden, subclass static method hide superclass static method"?
Last doubt, for these 2 terms, "inherited" and "overriden", which one is directly tied to the term "polymorphism" ?

A: I think trying to apply words like 'inherited' and 'overridden' to this sort of thing is not productive. It's misleading because it gives the impression there is something comparable of what goes on with virtual instance methods, and you point out there isn't.
(But as Jon Skeet points out, the Java language spec doesn't agree with me, it groups these together in the same section.)

A: Yes, I think "inherit" is the correct term here, even if it's not as descriptive as it might be. From section 8.4.8 of the Java Language Specification:

A class C inherits from its direct superclass and direct superinterfaces all non-private methods (whether abstract or not) of the superclass and superinterfaces that are public, protected or declared with default access in the same package as C and are neither overridden (§8.4.8.1) nor hidden (§8.4.8.2) by a declaration in the class.

That doesn't specify instance methods, but there are specific restrictions on what is allowed to hide or override what, which wouldn't make sense if static methods were not inherited.
Really though, I would simply view static methods as "accessible without qualification" rather than anything else, given that they don't take part in polymorphism etc. I think it's worth being very clear about that - for example, one static method can hide an inherited one, but it can't override it.
In other words, while I think "inherit" is technically correct, I would try to avoid using it without any further explanation.
For your second question, I'd say that based on the above, overriding is tied to polymorphism, but inheriting isn't necessarily.
(I would also strongly advise you to avoid calling static methods "via" variables, and also to use the name of the class which declares the static method wherever you specify the name at all. I know that's not part of the question, but I thought I'd just add it anyway...)

A: Guys I would like to share my knowledge in java with all java lovers out there!
First of all let me tell you that static members are those members which can be accessed directly without creating an object of that particular class, when static members of a class is used in some other class then it should be used by specifying the class name .(dot) static member's name(e.g. A.i in the following example), and also if any subclass class is getting inherited from a super class which has static members and if both subclass and super class are in the same package then that static members can be accessed from the base class without even using the class name of the super class. Please go through the
Example:
package myProg;
class A
{
static int i = 10;
A()
{
System.out.println("Inside A()");
}
}

class B extends A
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("i = " + i); //accessing 'i' form superclass without specifying class name
System.out.println("A.i = " + A.i); //again accessing 'i' with the class name .(dot) static member 'i'

/*
we can also use the super class' object in order to access the static member compiler
will not show any error but it is not the exact way of using static members. static members are created
so that it could be used without creating the class object. see below the usage of object to use the
static member i.
*/
A obj = new A(); //creating class A object and A() also gets called
obj.i = 20;
System.out.println("obj.i = " + obj.i);
}
}

/*
This program was to show the usage of static member. Now, lets discuss on the topic of static member inheritance.
SO GUYS I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT STATIC MEMBERS ARE NOT INHERITED. This undermentioned program is
to show the inheritance of static members.
*/
class A
{
static int i = 10; //initially the value of i is 10
static int j = 20; //lets use one more static member int j, just to see the value of it through class A, and B
static
{
/*
This is static initialization block(SIB) of class A,
SIB gets executed first in the order of top to bottom only one time
when the class is loaded.
*/

System.out.println("A-SIB");
}
}
class B extends A
{
static
{
i = 12;//trying to modify the i's value to 12
System.out.println("B-SIB");
}
}
class D extends A
{
static int k = 15;
static
{
System.out.println("D-SIB");
}
}
class C
{
public static void main(String [] arhs)
{
System.out.println("D.k: " + D.k);
/*here we are trying to access the static member k from class D,
it will try to search this class and then that class
will be loaded first i.e. SIB of class D will be loaded and SOP
statement of class D will be printed first. When the class loading
is done then the compiler will search for the static int k in class
D and if found SOP statement will be executed with the value of k.
*/
/*
ONE GROUND RULE: as soon as the compiler see this statement the compiler will load
class D into the memory, loading of class into memory is nothing but
storing all the static members (i.e. static constant & SIBs) into the
memory.
*/

System.out.println("B.i: " + B.i);
/*Now, this is what we are talking about... we think that static int i's
value is there in class B and when we write B.i it compiles and executes
successfully BUT... there compiler is playing a major role at this statement...
Try to understand now... we know that class B is the subclass of class A
BUT when the compiler sees this statement it will first try to search
the static int i inside class B and it is not found there, then since it is
the subclass of A, the compiler will search in class A and it is found
there. NOW, WHEN STATIC INT I IS FOUND IN CLASS A THE COMPILER WILL CHANGE
THIS STATEMENT B.i TO A.i and the class B WILL NOT AT ALL BE LOADED INTO
THE MEMORY BECAUSE STATIC I IS ONLY PRESENT IN CLASS A. But in the previous
statement static int k is present inside class D so when we try to access k's value
the class D will be loaded into memory i.e. SIB will be executed and then
the SOP statement of the value of k. USING B.i IS NOT WRONG BUT COMPILER
ASSUMES THAT THE PROGRAMMER HAS MADE A MISTAKE AND IT REPLACES THE CLASS NAME
B.i TO A.i. Thus this show that static members are not inherited to the subclass.And
therefore the vaue of i will NOT BE CHANGE TO 12 AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SIB OF
CLASS B, it will be 10 only..
*/

System.out.println("A.j: " + A.j);//this statement will be executed as it is, compiler will not make
System.out.println("A.i: " + A.i);//any modifications to these statements.

System.out.println("B.j: " + B.j);//again compiler will modify this statement from B.j to A.j

}
}

Guys if you still have any confusion mail me at this email-id:

Pradeep Kumar Tiwari

A: Ok static methods cannot be overridden but can be redefined in other words its called hiding

Cleveland Heights Unitarian Universalist minister is intrigued by mushrooms, too
Published: Aug. 30, 2009, 2:32 p.m.
Ray Jablonski, cleveland.com
SPECIAL TO SUN NEWS
Colin Bossen and his family came to Cleveland Heights in September 2007.
By Kellie Tayer
CLEVELAND HTS. "I've been a life-long political radical," says Colin Bossen, minister of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Cleveland on Lancashire Road.
Bossen, 32, is also passionate about poetry and mushrooms, but more on that later.
"I am not attached to 'God' language," said Bossen, who has a calm, comforting demeanor.
"We understand such a small part of the universe, and a lot of people label what they don't understand as 'God.' If someone asks me, 'Do you believe in God as someone who will intervene in your life?' I say I don't."
Bossen is not a creationist, but he believes that evolution had something to do with human existence.
"Darwin was a Unitarian," he says.
His church has no creed.
"Rather, we're covenantal, which is more like an agreement as to how we should all live together. We're about being there for each other in times of crisis. We put our emphasis on right action rather than right belief. We have Jews, Christians -- we've even had Muslims."
He lives in the Coventry area with his wife, Sara, 10-year-old stepdaughter Emma, and 2-year-old son Asa. A Columbus native, he grew up in Lansing, Mich.
He graduated from Meadville Lombard Theologocal School and Denison University. He and his family moved here in September 2007 from Washington, D.C.
Unitarian Universalists have their roots in the Protestant reformation in Europe. The roots in the United States come from Salem and Plymouth, Mass., and the First Church and King's Church in Boston.
"Unitarian Universalists sprang from early religious refugees, and out of that emerged liberals and conservatives. The United Churches of Christ are the conservatives, and we are the liberals," Bossen said.
"Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were Unitarian Universalists. Many signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were Unitarians," he added.
He said that Unitarians are not some "Johnny-come-lately, New-Agey" church.
"We believe in the humanity of Jesus versus the trinity, hence the name 'Unitarian,'" he says. "We can all aspire to obtain the ability to be perfect, which is what Jesus did."
Bossen believes that personal experience is the starting point for theological reflection.
"It may lead you to the Bible or it may take you on long walks in nature. Our mission is to create space for people to be themselves and achieve their full potential."
When it came time to christen their son, Bossen and his wife opted to have "cosmic parents" instead of godparents.
"We got the term from some friends of my wife's. We weren't comfortable with the word 'godparents' but we are all children of the cosmos, so 'cosmic parents' made more sense," he recalls.
Bossen references God in his sermons, but not in the traditional sense. Sunday services include a time for prayer and/or meditation. To whom one prays is a personal decision, he said.
Then there's the call to action -- a call Bossen has heard many times.
In the 1990's he went to Chiapas, Mexico, after the Zapatista uprising. The Zapatistas, a group of mostly teenagers and young adults from the ethnic Mayan groups of the highlands, were fighting for better health, food, jobs, education and democracy.
In November 2001, Bossen and his friend Roxanne Rivas started a human rights and solidarity organization called CASA -- Collectives of Support, Solidarity and Action. In Spanish it's Colectivos de Apoyo, Solidaridad y Accion, hence the CASA acronym.
Bossen has also worked on behalf of small unions, such as truckers in Los Angeles who transported goods between the freighters in the Port of Los Angeles and the railroads; and also on behalf of bicycle couriers in Chicago.
Locally, Bossen works with Us Together, a group that helps refugees get settled in the Cleveland area.
He also works with Northeast Ohio Alliance for Hope, a faith-based organization that deals with urban community issues such as helping school districts increase parental involvement. He also advocates for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders).
"Our congregation proudly celebrates gay and lesbian marriages," he says with pride.
As for the poetry, his favorite poet is Kenneth Rexroth, a 1920's beatnik "before there were beatniks."
And he's been known to pick mushrooms while out on walks in the neighborhood. He enjoys reading about them and cooking and eating them, particularly chanterelles and morels.
"I make a mean mushroom risotto," he smiles.

The traditional Chinese kung fu claw fist which is called Shaolin Ying Zhua Chuan in Chinese is among the oldest and complex of the Northern animal style martial arts. Today, a large number of shaolin students have a high interest on learning these animal styles.There are some imitation boxing animal styles in shaolin martial arts,eagle claw fist is one of them,that is a kind of fist that develops from the form,spirit and attack ways from the animal Eagle.It is also a classical imitation fist in Chinese martial arts.
It focus on imitating the way the eagle grabs and clasps,the way the eagle swings with its wings in the sky.It is a particular sort of Chuan that was created fromt he eagles's behaviour and the peculiarities it hunts,while combined with the techniques in shaolin martial arts (Chinese wushu) Its main peculiarities are its abundant way of clawing,grab,clasp,pinch and grapple,turning over,movement quickly,movement imitating the eagle,possessing both the spirit and appearance. It needs your hands to punch out and claw back,hut the tendon and the bone,dot the pont and hold the breath,turn your body over agile,spirit looks like the eagle.The whole routine is of strength and very powerful,it is dense and quick.It commands stable and resouce while keeping clam like the eagle.Get ready to catch rabbit,that will show your intelligence,determination,valor and beauty while combined with imitation movements like " Eagle swings with its wings","Eagle prays on the food",this form is original with its quick and valor.It mainly attack others ' gorge,joint and other main part of body.
Plus the long strikes and the kicks that are typical with the Northern martial arts systems, the shaolin Zhua Chuan animal style has been distinguished by the gripping techniques plus the a system of joint locks and takedowns, pressure point strikes are able to represent among the oldest Chinese grappling forms that is known as the Chin Na. What is consistent with the Shaolin Eagle Training will be the knowledge on the style of 3 core sets.
Xin Quan is the first set and it is the Walking Fist. These set of technique owns 10-12 rows that are the founding elements representatives of the style which may include the Shaolin Quan and Yuen San Shou plus the Fanzi Quan. Lian Quan fist on the other hand is the Linking Fist.

ECOVACS DEEBOT M81 Pro Review: Robot Vacuum and Wet Mopping at a friendly price
A few years back, my father bought a robot vacuum cleaner for the household, it was cute, helpful and the family loved it, however during that time such consumer electronics aren't that smart, it had poor battery life where it needs to be recharged in 30 minutes, it also requires a lot of supervision as it occasionally gets stuck in tight corners. Today, robot vacuum cleaners are a lot more capable than it used to be back then, some can be controlled over the cloud, packed with advanced sensors for smarter cleaning, and they are no longer expensive to own. A few days ago, we received the ECOVACS DEEBOT M81 Pro for our review, though it doesn't look any different from any other robot vacuum cleaners I have come across, it has some pretty interesting features that I was eager to find out, and here are my thoughts about it.
Setting up the device is very straightforward, it comes with four pairs brushes which two is only required to be installed at the bottom, install the battery at the bottom, lift up the top lid and install the dustbin case, connect the charging station to an available power socket, place the robot with the two pins at the bottom to charge the robot vacuum cleaner, and you are set once the battery is fully charged.
The M81 Pro has built-in WiFi that is mainly used for controlling its operation via the ECOVACS smartphone app, which is available as a free download for Android and iOS devices. The pairing process can be initiated by holding on to the WiFi button on the remote, where the vacuum cleaner will give a beep with the WiFi indicator flashing, then follow the instructions on the app to have it connect to your home WiFi network.
One interesting fact here is that the D81 Pro can be controlled over the cloud, though it doesn't have a mapping feature due to the lack of an ultrasonic sensor, you are still able to see its battery level, set a schedule for it to start cleaning, and have it return to the charging station.
Unlike other robot vacuum cleaners in the same range, the D81 Pro has a small reservoir for its mopping feature, where it dispenses water together with the provided mopping cloth while vacuuming the floor, as most vacuum cleaners still tend to leave some dust as they clean, this is an extremely useful feature as it ensures a cleaner floor, the reservoir can be refilled by opening the flap at the back.
The Deebot M81 Pro performs fairly well during my test, I had it clean the living area of my landed house and while I was impressed with how well it was able to squeeze through tight corners, there were times where the robot got under my couch or accidentally running through room slippers on my floor. As for carpets, the robot's thick wheel was able to go across it without any issues, which is certainly an improvement from what I have seen on my previous robot vacuum cleaner. Probably the most impressive part of the M81 Pro, is how ECOVACS has managed to make a really efficient vacuum system without making much noise, the company rates the maximum noise level at 57dB, which you can definitely still hear your music playback and not have someone yelling at you while it is working.
In terms of battery life, the Deebot M81 Pro was able to last up to 3 hours continuously, which is rather decent and should technically last two times of casual use, the robot will automatically return to the charging station once the battery is low, however if it travels too far away from it, you may have to manually transport it back to the charging station due to its limited IR sensor.
Overall, the DEEBOT M81 Pro is a pretty decent robot vacuum cleaner with floor mopping features that doesn't break the bank, it doesn't require much human intervention as it is able to work its way through tight corners really smart with its soft bumper and IR sensor, the added feature of being able to control it using an app is also rather commendable, considering that the provided remote control has the most chances of getting misplaced than a smartphone. The DEEBOT M81 Pro retails at RM1,499, and for a limited time, ECOVACS is giving away 3 units of the DEEBOT M81 Pro on its Facebook page, so do head on over to try your luck as you may stand a chance to win one this month.
Affordable robot vacuum cleaner with wet mopping feature
Straightforward smartphone app
Great battery life
The Not so Good
Lack of ultrasonic sensor for better floor mapping
Charging time could be better

Emmy Rossum Quotes
A collection of top quotes and sayings by Emmy Rossum on life, work, character, relationships, job, money etc.
72 Top Quotes By Emmy Rossum On Things That Matter
Famous As: Actress
Born On: September 12, 1986
Born In: New York, New York, United States
Emmy Rossum is an American actress and singer. She started growing her dark and curly hair long because most girls in school had long, straight and blonde hair. Now she knows better and says, "I am happy when I am truly me and feel comfortable and confident in myself". A very private person, she also admits that she does live her life in media spotlight and therefore people do not know much about her. Nonetheless, beginning her career at the age of seven at Metropolitan Opera Children's Chorus, she has accumulated wide experiences and in her interviews she has talked not only about some of them, but also has given us an insight into her way of thinking.

I try to keep myself as sane and as grounded as possible by surrounding myself with normal people, such as all the friends that I've had from when I was little.
Friends Trying
I started singing at the Met when I was seven, and the competition was so fierce that it really prepared me.
Me Singing
I know that I am my worst critic. I know that if I can walk away from the set at the end of the day and feel that I did the best job I could and feel proud, that's what will satisfy me.
Me Never Money
I started working when I was seven and I was working for five dollars a night at the Met.
Everyone messes up in relationships and has peaks and valleys in their personal lives. When I realized it wasn't the end of the world and I would keep on standing, I knew it was going to be OK.
There's something safe about playing a character, but then it's like, 'Who am I underneath it all?'
Like Character
I've been in the studio experimenting on making a CD of my own. I'm trying out different producers, styles, sounds. With music, as opposed to acting, you are not playing a character. You are showing people who you are. I really want to have my spirit in it.
You Character Music
I never walk into the studio and say, I'm going to write a song called... 'X' or called 'Slow Me Down.' I write a ton of lyrics, often the title is somewhere in those 10 pages of... I call it brain vomit. It's kind of like whatever comes out of my head and I'm unabashedly just writing it down.
Life can be very funny and very tragic. Everyone has stuff that they've been through that makes up whatever fire it is that they have in their gut, but nobody goes around wearing that as their outmost exterior, all the time.
When I was in school, I got there on the first day and everyone had long, blonde, straight hair, and I had short, dark, curly hair. I immediately felt I didn't fit in and started growing my hair. But I've learned that I'm only happy when I am truly me and feel comfortable and confident in myself.
I can put my legs behind my head and sing 'Happy Birthday.' Because that's something that me and my friends used to do when we were in gymnastics class as kids, and I can still do it. I was doing it since I was 8 and 9. They used to call me Gumby. Very bendy.
Guys usually like a very natural look. I think it's bad idea to wear a strong lip on a first date - or for the first few dates. I'm always too nervous he'll kiss it off - if I'm lucky enough to get a kiss! I also think soft, sexy hair is important.
As an actor, you always look for things that will stretch you and that are different than you are, so that you can surprise yourself, and you want to surround yourself with the highest caliber of people that will make you look good.
Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.
Life Think Yourself
If I can't find a project that I'm really interested in, I'll just go back to college where I've been studying art history and French. I'm also going to study English and philosophy - the whole curriculum!

Take a journey to the world of ancient Nordic history and experience a game with amazing payouts and rewards. The Arctic Fortune slot game from Microgaming is an incredible title that lets players travel with Nord explorers in search of great riches and wealth. This game features great graphics and sounds that bring everything to life within the video slot. In addition, a numerous collection of extra bonuses keep the gameplay fresh and exciting for long periods of time. It's all available to play right from home and made simple for every player.
Arctic Fortune makes a great first impression with its visuals. The focal characters are designed incredibly well and pop off of the screen. These are accompanied by lots of bright colors and other graphics that really do justice in portraying the theme of a wintry world that is ripe for discovery. The sound effects go well with the rest of the game as well in enhancing the overall appearance. The control panel is made simple for players, with a straight-forward layout that anyone can understand. Players will be able to adjust the coin value and the number of coins. The paylines cannot be adjusted in this game, but there are 1024 payways that keep the excitement at a high level without having to bet a lot of money.
Expert players of the Arctic Fortune slot are going to love what the game has to offer. There is an autoplay function which will allow the game to be run on its own for a certain amount of spins at a locked in bet amount. The player can stop this feature at any time, otherwise it will return to the normal game after all spins have elapsed. There is also a max bet button included which will let players instantly wager the highest amount of money possible without having to go through the extra steps. This will also automatically spin the reels.
There are plenty of extra features to be discovered in Arctic Fortune, including the wild and scatter symbols. The wild symbol will complete winning combinations by substituting for the other normal icons in the game, while the scatter symbol can create a win of its own by appearing on the game's reels at least 2 times during one spin. These scatters are also responsible for triggering free spins. During the free spins bonus, things get interesting as players can earn up to 40 free spins with as much as a 6x multiplier, and also a straight coin bonus of up to 9000 coins!
The Arctic Fortune slot impresses with its graphics and audio, but falls a little short with its gameplay overall. There is no progressive jackpot, and the payout frequency is not too great with this game. There are a good amount of bonus features, but they do not occur often so it may cause players to lose interest. However, the theme of the game is a cool one and it keeps the normal action exciting. Players who want an extremely cool theme and 1024 payways to earn wins should give Arctic Fortune a try.

Adam, Cain and the spade (updated)
Alex Sapoznik delighted many yesterday at the IHR seminar when she discussed the emergence of the spade as a significant agricultural tool in medieval England. She emphasized the cultural recalibration of the image of the spade in the central to late Middle Ages, particularly in iconographical representations of post-paradisiacal Adam and Eve. Adam is depicted holding a spade and Eve spinning a yarn, matching the much-invoked 14th-century epigram 'When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?', attributed to John Ball, a priest in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. The representation is an interpretation of Genesis 3:17–19:
Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.
Adam holding a spade in a 13th-century rose window from the north transept of Lincoln Cathedral. Copyright Gordon Plumb
What is worth mulling over – and nobody brought this up last night – is the question of, well, material inheritance. I mean, if spade-driven agriculture emerged from the Expulsion, why shouldn't there be a parallel 'invention' of the bequest? In other words, what happened to Adam's spade? It must be assumed that in a watertight universe as that inhabited by the medieval man, the spade, that is the object of Adam's arch-penalty, would survive a second generation. In fact, it did. Evidence may be found in a 14th-century French manuscript which depicts Cain killing Abel with an iron shod spade.
14th century. French. Ox. Bod. MS. Douce 211, fol. 8r. Bible Historiale. Abel received four spade-inflicted wounds.
According to Genesis 4:2 (KJV), 'Abel was a keeper of the sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground' (lat. agricola). When Cain kills Abel, Scripture does not say how he does it, but only that 'Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him' (Gen. 4:8). Just like in the Expulsion passage cited above, the instrument of punishment and death, respectively, was added to the narrative. Was Cain's spade the same that God handed down to Adam as a result of disobedience? If God's punishment brought death in addition to labour, pain and well, agriculture, then one would expect to find the spade fulfilling the same function, that of death in a subsequent narrative. Besides, the view that Cain's spade was only an agricultural tool may not hold, since Abel is not depicted in the context of his occupation.
(update) Since I wrote this post, I have had another look at the Tournai baptismal font in East Meon Church, Hampshire featured in Alex's paper.
There is a remarkable feature in this visual narrative: the role of the angel. Eve is holding a distaff while spinning, a traditional representation which we can find in a large number of visual artefacts. Adam, however, is not yet delving, for the angel, standing at his left, is no doubt showing him how to use the spade. This is rather subversive for two reasons: one, that the angel assumes a teaching role. He has left the middle position between the forefathers and now seems to focus on Adam. I do not believe that this angelological statement finds a parallel elsewhere in the medieval period; two, it is implied that the angel has already 'trained' Eve in the use of the distaff. Adam comes second in this supposed post-Expulsion instruction. He is the only figure without a tool, which must have been raised some learned eyebrows at the time. If so, then we may be dealing with an artisan who valued craftsmanship above land cultivation.
Despre rușine
Notker Balbulus, a brief introduction


Will Vermont become known for elevating casual fare?
When chef John Delpha opened the Belted Cow Bistro in Essex Junction in 2009, he introduced a creative, earthy menu built on local ingredients. Dishes such as flatbread with duck confit, Vermont blue cheese and black figs; seared scallops in a parsnip purée; and halibut with pea-shoot broth and ramp butter were seasonal bistro fare in an elegant setting.
Those who loved it ate it up, literally. But the local perception that the Cow was a special-occasion restaurant never faded, according to Delpha, who was perplexed that some diners saw it as high end and visited just once or twice a year.
So Delpha is switching gears, as many other Vermont chefs already have. Come January, instead of smoked-pork tartine or seared scallops, diners will find chicken and biscuits, meat loaf, fried chicken, pulled-pork sandwiches, chicken cacciatore, and hot turkey sandwiches on the menu — classic comfort foods.
"The writing was on the wall. We tried to make this happen for two and a half years, and it never really caught on," says Delpha, who noticed an even more distinct drop in business after Tropical Storm Irene. "There's a perception that we're expensive, but I think we're rather reasonable." Entrées at the Cow are in the $20-and-up range.
To reinforce a more casual feel, Delpha and his wife and co-owner, Caitlin Bilodeau, have removed the wine glasses that used to adorn each table. They're planning to get rid of the communal table — popular in Boston restaurants where Delpha previously worked, but eschewed by Vermont diners — and expand the bar area. Next step: bringing in tap beers and televisions.
When a restaurant changes its format for broader appeal, the shift can be bittersweet for chef and diners alike. In this languishing economy, many foodies are conflicted, craving traditional ragú made with local veal even as they opt for meals that won't keep them from paying the gas bill. Can local chefs fulfill their limited-budget longings with "elevated" comfort food?
Perhaps so, some chefs say — and perhaps the change isn't a bad thing. Comfort food may be a perfect farm-to-table cuisine, and it can be as creatively prepared as any. After all, it's thrilling to discover a small masterpiece in the form of a burger or mac and cheese.
The Belted Cow is already giving diners a taste of some planned comfort-food dishes by offering them as specials. Take Delpha's version of chicken cacciatore: Far from the burning red glop of yesteryear, it gracefully rides the line between Italian and French cuisine. The tender dark meat falls from the bone, and the deeply rich, salty brown sauce is laced with smoke and earth. Buttery risotto sops up the juices, and the dish is so huge it can make two meals.
The Kitchen Table's current menu ranges from the relatively casual — Caesar salad and cider-steamed mussels — to refined entrées such as a steak tartare made with Boyden Farm beef and seared, wild striped bass with roasted parsnips and celery root. The menu isn't divided into sections, but it graduates upward in price.
A "whole new group of foods" arrived on menus after 9/11, Roberts notes, and the trend found its ultimate expression in, for instance, eateries and chains devoted to single items such as grilled cheese, hot dogs and even cereal. "These kinds of foods are reflective of people's psychology and emotions," Roberts says. "People are still concerned about the economy." He pinpoints the advent of the most recent comfort-food cycle to the beginning of the recession.
At Elements Food & Spirit in St. Johnsbury, co-owner Keith Chamberlin says the recession, together with local cultural influences, has compelled the staff to change the eatery's ambience during its eight years in business. Tables that used to hold white tablecloths and wine glasses are now covered in butcher paper, for instance. The menu, too, has changed dramatically.
Long before wildcrafting was hot, Elements made dishes with ingredients gathered from the landscape. The smoked trout and apple cakes on the restaurant's regular menu were inspired.
Now Elements' menu includes pulled-pork sliders, scallops wrapped in bacon with a maple glaze, and grilled sirloin with a Bordelaise sauce. It's all still delectable, but reflects something of a shift from the eatery's early identity. "We got away from the fussy appetizer-and-entrée model and offered a little bit more variety in the way people think about dining — for instance, if they wanted to graze more," Chamberlin explains.
Huizenga practices what he preaches: He raises his own pigs using scraps from the restaurant.
Schimoler would like more variety within that price range. "It's nice to see other classics such as pork chops or cassoulet on the menu — not so mainstream but surely comforting," she suggests.
However the comfort-food trend plays out, Vermont diners really can't lose. The state has become a nexus of chef-farmer collaboration, with the Vermont Fresh Network a prime connector. If the mainstream of diners continues to dictate comfort, chefs will rise to the challenge with typical aplomb — and local beef, cheese and veggies.

Q: Show an empty row when itemssource is null in wpf datagrid I am working on a project in wpf with mvvm. I just want to show a row on a wpf datagrid to add a new item and i have an ItemsSource but it is null and canUserAddRows is set to true.
Thanks in advance.

A: You need some kind of ItemsSource that is not null. Just initialize your ObservableCollection<yourType>.
Easiest is to do it via constructor of your ViewModel:
public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
     public ViewModel()
     {
          _yourCollection = new ObservableCollection<yourType>();
          //Now Items can be added, via code behind, or UI !
     }
}

Think of it: You cannot call .Add() on a null object (would throw NullReferenceException). So how should the control itself allow that via UI - there is nothing to store the values in !
Example:
ViewModel:
public class ViewModel
{

     public ObservableCollection<Model> Collection { get; set;}

     public ViewModel()
     {
          Collection = new ObservableCollection<Model>();
          //Now Items can be added, via code behind, or UI !
     }
}

Model:
public class Model
{
    public string Text { get; set; }
}

Xaml:
<DataGrid CanUserAddRows="True"
          AutoGenerateColumns="False"
          IsReadOnly="False"
          ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Width="*"
                            Header="Value"
                            Binding="{Binding Text}"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>

Sainsbury's sees Christmas sales fall amid difficult toy and games market
By Holly Williams, PA Deputy City Editor
PA Media: Money 8 January 2020
Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has revealed lower sales over its Christmas quarter as a tough toy and video games market offset a robust performance in food and clothing.
The group – which also owns the Argos chain – said like-for-like retail sales fell 0.7%, excluding fuel, in the 15 weeks to January 4.
Its performance was dragged lower by a 3.9% fall in general merchandise sales – its worst performance since the group bought Argos four years ago.
This took the shine off a 0.4% rise in sales of groceries as festive party food proved popular, with a 4.4% jump in clothing thanks to a cold weather boost for womenswear and a sell-out range of novelty Christmas jumpers.
Sainsbury's said toys and games were the hardest hit in the general merchandise division, with both suffering double-digit declines.
It said a move to axe big toy promotions in favour of everyday lower prices compounded a tough wider market, while game sales suffered in the absence of any new console launches.
Chief executive Mike Coupe said the group saw "twin peaks" in festive trading, with strong sales around Black Friday and the week before Christmas, but "more challenging" conditions in between.
Sainsbury's also warned that trading is set to remain "highly competitive and promotional" in 2020, with ongoing consumer uncertainty clouding the outlook.
Mr Coupe said that, despite the sales fall, he was "pleased" with the overall performance.
"In this quarter there were a couple of markets under significant pressure and they are the ones we over-trade in," he added.
The Sainsbury's figures mark a decline on the 0.2% sales drop seen in the previous quarter, but are an improvement on the 1.1% fall over its Christmas quarter the previous year.
Rival Morrisons updated on Tuesday, when it bemoaned "unusually challenging" trading as it posted a 1.7% sales fall for the 22 weeks to January 5.
Industry figures from Kantar Worldpanel, also on Tuesday, set the scene for a tough set of festive numbers from the big players, with a 0.2% rise over the 12 weeks to December 29 marking the slowest Christmas growth for four years.
Tesco joins Marks & Spencer and John Lewis Partnership in reporting numbers on Thursday.
In its trading update, Sainsbury's said online grocery sales jumped 7.3% with 20% of all business made over the internet in the quarter.
Total online sales across groceries and general merchandise lifted 5% and it said Argos delivered its busiest ever online trading day on Black Friday, with 12 orders a second in the peak hour.
The figures come as Sainsbury's looks to slash costs by £500 million in the wake of its failed attempt to merger with rival Asda.
Julie Palmer, partner at Begbies Traynor, said: "Sainsbury's CEO Mike Coupe will be glad to see the back of 2019.
"From the failed merger with Asda and the ongoing reorganisation of Argos to its demotion to the third largest retailer in the UK, Sainsbury's has had a stop-start year.
"That feeling will be compounded by the sluggish Christmas results to finish the year."

Ehrlich Law Firm wins affirmance of $15 million verdict
Jeffrey Ehrlich
U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit Appellate Lawyer
On July 14, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit affirmed a $15 million jury verdict on behalf of three Los Angeles Police Department officers who had been wrongfully accused by the department of corruption. In Harper v. City of Los Angeles, 533 F.3d 1010 (9th Cir. 2008), the court held that the evidence supported the jury's verdict that the officers' constitutional rights were violated, and that the award of $5,000,001 to each was not excessive.
Certified appellate specialist Jeffrey I. Ehrlich briefed and argued the appeal for the officers.

I saw this phrase, 'Prepared to Move', as part of an Estate Agents advertisement encouraging readers to sell their houses. Most of us move home at least once in our lifetime, some numerous times. Moving home is generally recognised as one of the most stressful times of our lives. There are many reasons why it becomes necessary to move, family, occupation, education, marriage, finance, or desire for change can all be among reasons why we have to face what for most can be one of the most emotional periods of our lives.
There are not many of us who enjoy change. That is especially true when it comes to moving on from what we find familiar and comfortable. We often feel safe with the status quo and threatened by anything that might disturb that with which we're familiar. In life generally, and particularly in our spiritual life, we can miss out on so much by not being prepared to move and take that step into the unfamiliar. Such a move requires faith, and it requires courage. But when it's an act of obedience to the Lord, without doubt, blessing will follow.
The first disciples Peter, Andrew, James and John, as fishermen, were prepared to leave what was familiar to them, their work, their home environment, and their friends, to follow Jesus when He called them (Matthew 4:18-22). What blessing resulted for them as they walked with Jesus for three years and witnessed and participated in the wonderful things He did and heard first hand all the things He said!
A change of location isn't always necessary for us to move on in the purposes that God has for us. Usually all that's required is a change of heart, perhaps a more open attitude and acceptance of what God wants us to experience. This may mean using our God-given giftings and abilities in a way we've never thought of, or we've previously been afraid to develop.
Sadly, over time, we can become complacent, and fear the uncertainties of change. But God has called us into His kingdom to be actively engaged in the works of that kingdom. This doesn`t necessarily mean becoming a great teacher or worship leader, but, being available to Him to act and move as He directs.
Praying, offering a cup of tea, giving a word of encouragement or comfort are some of the many ways in which we can reach out to others, but, at times, it will mean moving out of our comfort zone, as we become servants of the King of kings. Jesus commends those who do such things for doing them 'as unto him' (Matthew 25:40).
God`s desire for all of us, and it should be our desire too, is that we move closer and closer to Him. Are we always prepared to do that?
Finally, the greatest move that any of us will make, will be from this life into the next. Are we also prepared for that move? Towards the end of his life, the apostle Paul could say '… But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 3: 13-14).
Prayer: Dear Lord, please forgive my complacency at times, and help me by Your Spirit to move on in all that You have for me to do, to experience and to receive from You. Please help me also to be prepared for Your return, or for You to call me home. Amen.
"Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him."

Author of general and literary fiction
What makes a Writer?
Fair is Foul
What Makes One a Writer?
Fictional Worlds & the Force of Fiction
Publishing the Literary Novel Today
Writing something literary is one thing; publishing it is another. A great piece of writing comes from, you might say, the soul of an author. The soul is probably the vaguest thing on the record. Its internal language is by no means simple because it is constantly at variance with social language – the language that has been constructed to express common, everyday thoughts and feelings, or just to communicate with each other. The soul's probing is deeper far than what meets the eye. The depth of the soul is imprinted on quality writing, which can make the writing unclear for the average reader. The publisher has to target the average reader, unfortunately, sometimes against his wishes. Of course, every publisher wants to support writing that comes from the soul but experience tells them that such writing will rarely sell. The literary author has, therefore, at times to wait for a whole lifetime to see the light of day. They sometimes never see it at all if they get published posthumously or never get published ultimately.
Today's average reader is becoming more and more passive. He is unwilling to do his share of the work with a text to take it in. He wants it all potted and boiled, and put in his mouth to swallow. He will not work hard to make sense out of someone's soul adventures. And why should he? He has more superficial and diluted stuff all around him – fake news, the Internet, the TV, and simplified books that he can take in passively. Literary writing provides something unique or new to be imposed on the reader's thought process and the reader can be unwilling to accept such an imposition. The result is that the publisher has to look for simple, uncomplicated, texts that have come from an author's mind and merely have the reader's mind to tackle.
As civilization advances, the soul seems to get left behind further and further. The publisher has the formidable task of catering to an audience that is not interested in venturing into the domain of the author's soul. The publisher is rather helpless and must surrender to the average reader's requirement. We are becoming more intelligent and less feeling; more mind than soul. Our intelligence is being reduced to an animal intelligence that has to basically worry about food and bodily comfort; soul-adventures are hogwash. It is not surprising that non-fiction is a little easier to publish now than fiction because it involves a marriage of the mind and the intellect to a greater degree than fiction does. Even fiction finds more willing publishers if it is realistic.
When it is fantasy, the demand is for books that readers will read passively; just escape into unreal worlds without questioning the truth of fiction. For instance, horror novels or ghost stories involve the mind and force it to remain active due to the fear they induce. Such fiction needs to come to the scary portion right away, preferably from the first page, so that the reader doesn't slip away into an easier or a comfort zone. Magic Realism is resisted because it includes realistic elements with a difference. It blends the real and the improbable and thus makes the reader work harder to absorb the contents of the novel. It contains ideas related to oppression that need to be felt rather than understood intellectually.
Due to the publishing industry's reader-related plight, it becomes imperative for the author to provide soul-felt experiences in such a way that today's reader accepts them without a fuss. The reader should little know that he is drifting into the author's psyche or soul. This is a herculean task but it must be attempted by authors if they wish to get published. If the literary element seems to be daunting for the passive reader, it must be served with a sugar coating. It is here that the talent of today's author lies. The reader has to be gradually shown the way into the inner self. Remember, it is when the author is wholly or fully with himself that he sees (what he is to describe) well. Whether it is in a private room, a solitary walk, a bathroom, or some other moment of seclusion, it is in these that an author can peep inside to look at the world through an inner eye. Whatever he sees may not interest the average reader and so all the art and craft of fiction must be deployed to make a subjective vision interesting. In the publisher's vocabulary, the line between literary and commercial fiction should be erased. But doing this is one hell of a task. It is close to impossible.

A very logical view has been put forward by you regarding a real literary work. Truly speaking, unless a writer touches the soul of the reader, his work is shallow and short-lived. One has to write like Shakespeare and Tulsidaas to be an immortal writer. Eternal values of life can be searched by diving deep into the soul.

mountain "I'm God" And a skull that extended human life!
By Peter Blunt
Suddenly, the eyes of scientists turned to Morocco, which for decades has focused its search for the origin of mankind in East Africa.
A long search for answers about the origin and evolution of the human race led scientists from east to west of the continent. Morocco has become the new cradle of humanity.
It happened when scientists reexamined a forgotten Neanderthal skull that was found in a cave in Mount Igud, located 50km southeast of Safi, Morocco.
Returning again in 2004 to the excavation of the fossil, experts found fossilized bone remains presented in the skull, jaw, teeth, bones of the legs and arms of at least five people, including a child and a boy, most of them in one layer in which stone tools were also found .
In 1961, barite miners found in a cave in Jebel Igod, 75 kilometers from the western Moroccan coast, a skull with an amazing primitive formation, which prompted it to be attributed first to the genus of African Neanderthals.
The surprise was witnessed in 2017, when the processes of age determination of these skeletal remains of Homo sapiens, the human species to which all humans on the globe belong, revealed an age of exactly 315 thousand years, while previously it was believed that the age of this species dates back to 195 000 years, based on bone remains found at the Omo site in Ethiopia. Thus, this important discovery added more than 100 thousand years to the history of mankind on Earth.
On this occasion, paleoanthropologist John Flegel of New York University says: "The remains found are twice as old as the oldest fossils found previously for Homo sapiens."
The results of the study, published in the journal Nature, confirm that ancient Homo sapiens first developed modern facial features, while the back of the skull remained elongated, as it was in the earliest human ancestors.
Using the amazing Moroccan skull from Mount Igod, scientists observed that faces evolved into modern features faster than the skull and brain, and gradually assumed the spherical shape seen in the Hirtu Buri fossils in Ethiopia and in modern humans.
"It was a long process, and people didn't get their modern look overnight," says Jean-Jacques Hublin, a French anthropologist who was one of the first to become interested in fossils in Morocco.
By studying fossilized human remains found in Morocco, Hublin's team "realized that they had fully understood the root and origin of man," as the French scientist put it.
The skull of Mount Igod is described as one of the transitional skulls, as its classification specifically poses a real problem, which is why the team named it after early Homo sapiens.
Hobelen's team does not indicate that ancient Igud man was the direct ancestor of all other modern humans. Most likely, these ancient people were part of a large intermarriage population that spread across Africa when the Sahara was green, about 300,000 to 330,000 years ago.

Packers, Seahawks, 49ers clinch berths with Rams loss

Montana on SB LIV: 'Guaranteed my team will win'
Los Angeles' disappointing loss on Sunday afternoon was a big win for three of its NFC rivals playing elsewhere.
The Rams' 44-21 defeat at the hand of the Dallas Cowboys clinched playoff berths for the division-rival San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks and the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers.
Seattle (11-3) and Green Bay (11-3) won their games earlier on Sunday afternoon, each team needing a Rams loss or tie to clinch playoff berths; the Seahawks also could have clinched with a Vikings loss, but Minnesota crushed the Los Angeles Chargers.
San Francisco (11-3) lost to the Atlanta Falcons, but still clinched a playoff berth due to the Rams' loss.
The Rams are not eliminated just yet; at 8-6, L.A. can still steal a wild-card spot from the Vikings if L.A. wins out and Minnesota loses out.
Seattle will return to the postseason for the second straight season and the eighth time in the Pete Carroll era. In their first season under coach Matt LaFleur, the Packers are back in the dance after a two-year hiatus. San Francisco has had to wait even longer for a return to January football; the Niners will be in the postseason this year for the first time since 2013 and the first time under coach Kyle Shanahan.
All three sides can still win their divisions in the coming weeks.

getPosts() refers to the firestore location for fetching data.
I want to check whether firestore contains number or not as a document using Future Builder.How can i do that?
number -> 1 contains further details.
If number does not exists then show data from firestore else show "not found...".How can i do that?
Future builder is used to stream firestore.

Q: Match return substring between two substrings using regexp I have a list of records that are character vectors. Here's an example:
'1mil_0,1_1_1_lb200_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'
'1mil_0_1_lb100_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'
'1mil_1_1_lb2_100_100_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'
'1mil_1_1_lb100_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'

From these names I would like to extract whatever's between the two substrings 1mil_ and _ks_drivers_sorted.csv.
So in this case the output would be:
0,1_1_1_lb200
0_1_lb100
1_1_lb2_100_100
1_1_lb100

I'm using MATLAB so I thought to use regexp to do this, but I can't understand what kind of regular expression would be correct.
Or are there some other ways to do this without using regexp?

A: Let the data be:
x = {'1mil_0,1_1_1_lb200_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'
     '1mil_0_1_lb100_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'
     '1mil_1_1_lb2_100_100_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'
     '1mil_1_1_lb100_ks_drivers_sorted.csv'};

You can use lookbehind and lookahead to find the two limiting substrings, and match everything in between:
result = cellfun(@(c) regexp(c, '(?<=1mil_).*(?=_ks_drivers_sorted\.csv)', 'match'), x);

Or, since the regular expression only produces one match, the following simpler alternative can be used (thanks @excaza for noticing):
result = regexp(x, '(?<=1mil_).*(?=_ks_drivers_sorted\.csv)', 'match', 'once');

In your example, either of the above gives
result =
  4×1 cell array
    '0,1_1_1_lb200'
    '0_1_lb100'
    '1_1_lb2_100_100'
    '1_1_lb100'

A: For me the easy way to do this is just use espace or nothing to replace what you don't need in your string, and the rest is what you need.
If is a list, you can use a loop to do this.
Exemple to replace "1mil_" with "" and "_ks_drivers_sorted.csv" with ""
newChr = strrep(chr,'1mil_','')
newChr = strrep(chr,'_ks_drivers_sorted.csv','')


You can use RC servo motors with any Arduino. Even with a Raspberry Pi, no need for special hardware – just connect the signal wire to a free GPIO and send a short every 20 ms or so, where the position of the motor is proportional to the length of the pulse (usually between 0 and 2 ms).
A "normal" computer doesn't have GPIO pins so some kind of controller is needed. I have a Pololu Mini Maestro that can control several RC servo motors at once through USB or UART – in my case up to 24 motors.
It works great with linux – the Maestro Control Center is a .Net Framework application that runs fine with Mono but after initial setup a simple bash script is enough.
The first one ('/dev/ttyACM0') is the 'Command Port' and the second one ('/dev/ttyACM'1) is the 'TTL Serial Port'.
Package libmono-winforms2.0-cil is not available, but is referred to by another package.
We can control our servos from here if we want.
The value is in quarters of microseconds. So for a 1.5 ms (1500 µs) we will use 6000. Usually this is the middle (center) position of the servo.
# via its virtual serial port.
# TARGET is the target in units of quarter microseconds.
# The Maestro must be configured to be in USB Dual Port mode.
So we can now control up to 24 servo motors.
So I can now control 24 RC Servo motors with my MINDSTORMS EV3.
This is an idea I've been postponing for several months but the time has finally come: an laser harp.
For a first version, let's call it "a proof of concept", I just want a simple 7-string harp that can play the basic 7 notes. Polyphony would be great but I doubt that the EV3 sound capabilities allow that (and I cannot afford the brute force solution of using 7 EV3 so that each one plays only a single note).
With 2 MUX it's possible to connect up to 8 sensors to the EV3. Since I just want 7 "strings" I am considering using an 8th sensor to control the amplitude of the notes. I'll try an ultrasonic sensor but I'm not sure if it has enough "wideness" to cover the whole harp, let's see.
So of course I'll be using ev3dev and python.
lego-port port8: Registered 'in1:i2c80:mux1' on '3-0050'.
lego-sensor sensor0: Registered 'ms-ev3-smux' on 'in1:i2c80'.
lego-port port9: Registered 'in1:i2c81:mux2' on '3-0051'.
lego-sensor sensor1: Registered 'ms-ev3-smux' on 'in1:i2c81'.
lego-port port10: Registered 'in1:i2c82:mux3' on '3-0052'.
lego-sensor sensor2: Registered 'ms-ev3-smux' on 'in1:i2c82'.
lego-sensor sensor3: Registered 'lego-ev3-color' on 'in1:i2c80:mux1'.
lego-sensor sensor4: Registered 'lego-ev3-color' on 'in1:i2c81:mux2'.
lego-sensor sensor5: Registered 'lego-ev3-color' on 'in1:i2c82:mux3'.
Even better: by default all 3 mux ports are configured for the EV3 color sensor, just as I wanted!
this was suggested to me by David Lechner in another issue, hope will be fixed soon.
So whenever the light level over one of the color sensor drops bellow AMB_THRESHOLD a note will play for TONE_LENGHT milliseconds.
Unfortunately the sound is monophonic (just one note can be played at a time) and it doesn't sound like an harp at all – it sounds more like my BASIC games on the ZX Spectrum in the 80's.
So I tried Sound.play(Wave File) instead. Found some harp samples, converted them to .wav files at 44100 Hz and it really sounds much better… but the length of the samples I found is to big so the "artist" have to wait for the note to stop playing before moving the hand to another "string". Not good and also not polyphonic.
Next post I'll show a better approach for both quality and polyphony: MIDI.
