Last Friday Aerodata International Surveys (Antwerp, Belgium) and Vexcel Imaging GmbH (Graz, Austria) have signed a purchase agreement for an UltraCamX large format digital aerial camera system.
As a long-time UltraCam owner and operator (since February 2004), Aerodata already acknowledged early on that Vexcel’s concept for large format digital frame cameras was “best-in-class” at the time. Over the years the UltraCams have proven to be the best fit-for-purpose systems for the type of work Aerodata executes. In the meantime over 300.000 images were collected using these cameras. The UltraCamX now furthers this concept and is still “best-in-class”. It will add additional capabilities to Aerodata's aerial survey fleet.
Aerodata continues to build up and streamline capacity through leverage of the camera’s USP’s, combined with Aerodata’s vast expertise as digital camera operator and easy integration into the Aerodata PixelPipe workflow.
Aerodata International Surveys is an independent private airborne surveying and mapping company founded in 1992 and located at Antwerp Airport, Belgium. It specializes in airborne spatial data acquisition of the earth’s surface and its advanced processing into geo-information products.
The area of operation is mainly Western and Southern Europe, but the aircraft are also deployed to Africa and the Middle-East and are available for projects elsewhere.
Early 2004 Aerodata was the first European company to own and operate a Vexcel UltraCam-D digital photogrammetric frame camera and since then over 300.000 UltraCam exposures were collected.
Aerodata Int. Surveys operates at least 4 aircraft at any given time with various sensors, among which the UltraCam’s, and their Aerodata PixelPipe, yielding tremendous throughput by heavy storage and processing infrastructure adds to the fit-for-purpose customer-oriented approach.

Today, September 14th, is National Coloring Day. Of course coloring isn’t limited to coloring books, but over the last few years they’ve definitely become more prevalent! Whether they’re your preferred place to apply color or something you only do with kids, you’ve likely noticed that the paper quality can vary greatly. From thick cardstock to what’s basically printer paper, the type of paper will affect everything from what media you can use in the book to if you can actually color both sides of the same page.
On average, most adult coloring books use a slightly thicker-weight white paper that can handle all dry media as well as water-based markers, with some bleed-through if you press too hard or go over the same spot repeatedly. Crayons and colored pencils will lay down pretty evenly as the paper has little-to-no tooth, but if you’re the kind of artist who prefers to work with a more textured paper, here’s a tip that can help transform the books you already own – sandpaper!
I’ll demonstrate this in my copy Archie’s Coloring Book (and there’s a video demonstration at the end of the post).
I first thought about this back in 2017 after watching one of SuperRaeDizzle’s videos on dollar store art supplies. If you don’t follow her you really should – she’s a fantastic artist who does a lot of art supply reviews and draws/paints with incredible realism. In the linked video she uses a sanding block to rough up a sheet of inexpensive Bristol board to give it a better drawing surface.
I thought it was really cool but didn’t think it applied to me – until I started wondering if the same technique would work in what I was using a lot of at the time – coloring books. In theory it seemed like it should work but with the paper so much thinner than Bristol board I didn’t know if it would work. Would it tear the paper? Would it destroy the printed outlines? Would the ink bleed?
I had to try it for myself. To make the results as clear as possible I chose a page that allowed me to clearly divide the page into two halves.
I left the Veronica side of the page untouched and sandpaper I had on-hand to lightly rough up the Betty side of the page.
Here you can see the before (left) and after (right). There’s no obvious distress to the page though if you look closely at the black line of Betty’s shirt near the guitar you can see faint striae where the ink was removed.
I then set about coloring the page with Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils. I was careful to color in both girls the same way, using the same colors and applying the same amount of pressure.
Right away you can see a difference! Coloring on the Veronica side was exactly like coloring with colored pencils on computer printer paper (though I think this paper is slightly thicker). It’s super smooth and flat without any tooth or texture at all, and the colored pencil glided over the page really easily. On the Betty side I could feel the roughened-up surface of the page and it gave the colored pencil something to grab to, making coloring a very different experience.
It’s difficult to put the feeling into words but coloring the Veronica side felt like I had to concentrate more, because my natural tendency was to use more pressure to get more color payoff, whereas on the Betty side the same amount of barely-there pressure gave a richer color payoff.
Coloring on the super-smooth side made me very conscious of trying to not color too hard because it took more work to lay color down. On the flip side, coloring on the textured side of the page made color application a breeze, to the point where I had to concentrate on not applying too much and losing any highlights.
Both sides are colored the exact same way, using different colors for shading. I didn’t want to do anything too fancy because this was only a test; it was more about seeing if the sandpaper would ruin the book or any attempts to color vs me trying to get a professional-looking result.
I’d sanded the guitar evenly down the middle and thought there would be a more obvious difference between the two sides but I’d say it’s pretty subtle. Again- the sanded side has more depth and more color payoff while using the exact same pressure as the unsanded side.
I was also curious if sanding the paper would affect marker application, so decided to fill in the music notes with a mix of sparkle and metallic gel pens, in black and charcoal. I was really happy to see that there didn’t seem to be any effect on how the gel ink applied, and that both sides had the same amount of glitter and shine in the light.
Finally I wanted to see if there would be any issues coloring on larger open areas, so I picked two colors and experimented with blending them to each other. In my first layer of color (2nd image from the left) you can see that both sides are streaky but the funny thing is it’s for different reasons!
The last test that I did was to compare the difference that burnishing would make on either side. I went over both sides of the guitar with my beloved Prismacolor Premiere colorless blender and really tried to smooth any grain down and move the color to fill any remaining white areas. I have the page open in front of me as I type this and while my fingertip can tell the difference between the two sides it is SLIGHT, and definitely not as much of a contrast as the rest of the page halves.
Here’s the completed page. If I didn’t know that one side had been sanded I would think that I’d colored harder on the right side, and possibly used a different color for Betty’s jeans and background, as I do feel that there’s a visible difference in this closeup.
I don’t find the difference is as obvious in this image, though I’m not sure if it’s because the black background is causing a distraction.
After trying this once I’m a convert! I youOther notes: in the video below you’ll see a little bit of ink smearing. That was due to pressing too hard with the sandpaper, so it’s avoidable but something to watch out for. I was happy to see that there was no consequence to the back of the sanded page, nor any texture transfer on the facing page.
Here’s a graphic for those of you who like to pin my posts, and as promised above, here below is a video showing this technique in action.

Middle East: Is secularism the answer?
The reality, however, is quite different: Millions of people across the Middle East have lost their homes since 2011. They cannot even think about peace, order and integration – let alone work toward them. Still, it is important to contemplate what lies ahead for the region.
On one hand, there are experts who claim that democracy will never flourish in the Middle East. According to this essentialist view, what we witness today is proof that the future holds no hope. Personally, I refuse to dignify the orientalist notion that the region is inherently authoritarian with a detailed response.
A closer look into secular ideologies reveals that they indeed have a potential for violence – whether in Europe or the Middle East. Sure, the Thirty Years’ War ushered in the secular era, but the Europeans nonetheless failed to stop world wars and other secular acts of violence. In this regard, ignoring the role of secular-authoritarian regimes in the current situation and reducingto an oversimplified conversation about secularism will not get us anywhere.

The problem you’re talking about started when EFFICIENCY EXPERTS got involved wanting to cut the budgets.
So if the rule is: If you don’t need it, you lose access to it, you invent ways to use it.
So then the efficiency experts come in to cut up the budget for “money savings” (which is really just: Put more money in the pockets of a few higher ups by cutting budgets of the lowers).
« So for AI architecture, you have a few common choices and hybrids of choices. A) Finite State Machine is the most basic AI model. B) Hierarchical Finite State Model is a modular form of FSM, much easier to read as FSM’s look like spaghetti. C) Behavior Trees D) Planner, which works BACKWARDS from the goal. E) Utility, where you have all available choices in front of you and have to sort of guess the best possible option. F) Neural Network in which you lose a lot of direct control in exchange for better fitting answers – that you might not want.


The Hubble Space Telescope, which is unable to take clear conventional pictures, has found success in the ultraviolet.The telescope late last week took its first ultraviolet images of stars, and the images are of high quality, NASA announced Tuesday. Ultraviolet light can be used to determine physical and chemical properties of stars, quasars and other objects.''These images came out beautifully,'' said Ed Weiler, Hubble program scientist in Washington, D.C. ''We plan to use the Hubble Space Telescope primarily in the ultraviolet (spectrum)
DWA, Technicolor mount digital film, TV service: M-Go to launch by year's end with content from Ultraviolet studios
Andrew Wallenstein and Variety, September 12, 2012
DreamWorks Animation and Technicolor are backing a new entrant into the crowded category of digital content sellers. M-Go is set to go live in the fourth quarter of this year armed with 6,000 movie and TV titles from the five major studios participating in the Ultraviolet initiative, which will allow content purchased via the app to be transferrable across devices. M-Go will enable users to purchase or rent titles on an a la carte basis consistent with prices on competing platforms.
Keep Ultraviolet Light Off Autographed Baseball
By Harry Wessel of The Sentinel Staff, April 29, 1997
QUESTION: I have a baseball that I obtained more than 40 years ago that has the signature of Jackie Robinson along with the entire 1954 Brooklyn Dodgers team. What's the best way to preserve it?ANSWER: The simplest and cheapest way to preserve it, according to several baseball memorabilia experts, is to put it in a clean, white sock and store it in a cool, dry and dark place - such as a desk drawer in an air-conditioned room. Ultraviolet light is the ball's worst enemy: Over time it will cause the ink of the signature to fade.
How To Brush Your Bling
By Linda Shrieves, Sentinel Staff Writer, November 13, 2007
How hard can it be to buy a toothbrush? With a dizzying array of toothbrushes with bells and whistles and gadgets you've never heard of, it can be tougher than you might think. There's a toothbrush that has a small video monitor that tells you when to move the toothbrush to another quadrant of your mouth; a toothbrush that uses ultrasound to knock out plaque; and yet another one that employs ultraviolet rays to kill germs on the toothbrush. But there's a catch: Each of these new toothbrushes -- being stocked on shelves just in time for the holiday season -- comes with a hefty price tag, selling for between $150 and $180.
Sky-mapping Satellite's Launch To Record Ultraviolet Universe
CAPE CANAVERAL -- NASA launched a sky-mapping satellite, the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, on Monday on a mission to map the ultraviolet universe, the space agency said. The 609-pound satellite was launched at 8 a.m. by a Pegasus XL rocket. The Pegasus was dropped from beneath a Stargazer jet about 100 miles east of Florida's Kennedy Space Center over the Atlantic Ocean. NASA said the Galaxy spacecraft is equipped with a telescope that records in the near- and far-ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, a range that has not been extensively mapped in the past.
Study: Tanning May Create `High' From Ultraviolet Rays
By Eric Nagourney the New York Times, July 18, 2004
This time of year dermatologists are wringing their pale, smooth hands in dismay and frustration: Why don't people listen to the warnings about the risks of sunlight? Vanity and the recklessness of the young usually get the blame. But maybe there's more to the urge to bake than looks and youthful abandon. A small, provocative study seems to say so. It links the penetration of ultraviolet rays to the release of pleasure-inducing endorphins in the brain. Writing in The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, a group of researchers reported that they sought out volunteers who regularly went to tanning salons and invited them to lounge in tanning beds at no charge over a period of six weeks.
Seeing Cosmos In A New Light Ultraviolet Telescope On Shuttle Will Focus In On Halley's Comet
By Charlie Jean of The Sentinel Staff, January 5, 1986
On March 6, 1986, the space shuttle Columbia will take an array of instruments aloft to study a universe quite different from that seen by the human eye.The payload is the Astro observatory, a package of powerful telescopes and scanners that will study emissions of ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet is invisible to the eye and is prevented by the atmosphere from reaching Earth.But just as visible light tells scientists details about heavenly bodies, so does ultraviolet radiation give them information of a different kind about the cosmos.
Too Much Sun Can Steal You Blind Ultraviolet Light Fries Naked Eyes
By Diane Hubbard Burns of The Sentinel Staff, May 31, 1988
It has taken a while to get the message across, but most people now know they should protect their skin from the sun in order to guard against potentially deadly skin cancer.Now doctors are issuing yet another advisory about sun exposure: Wear protective glasses. Not doing so may result in progressive blindness.Just as widespread publicity over the sun-skin cancer connection has been a boon to the tanning lotion industry, so has the more recent discovery that the sun's rays harm the eyes contributed to skyrocketing growth in the sunglass industry.
Ultraviolet Light Helps Cancer Fight Experimental Treatment Shows Promise So Far
By United Press International, February 5, 1987
Scientists have developed an experimental treatment for a rare immune- system cancer by using ultraviolet light to activate a drug.They said the treatment may work by ''vaccinating'' patients against cancerous white blood cells.Stressing that their findings are preliminary, the researchers said Wednesday the treatment, ''photopheresis,'' also may be useful for treating other diseases of the immune system, including leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis.In an international study, the treatment appeared to help 27 of 37 patients with advanced forms of a painful drug-resistant cancer known as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma -- without any of the adverse side effects of standard chemotherapy and radiation.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are an invisible form of...
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are an invisible form of light just beyond the violet end of the spectrum. Ultraviolet C (UVC), the shortest and most powerful rays, are blocked by the Earth's protective ozone. Ultraviolet B (UVB), the short to mid-wavelength rays, produce both suntanning and sunburn and can cause skin cancer. Ultraviolet A (UVA), the longer, less forceful rays, penetrate deeply into the skin to cause long-term bad effects. UVA rays, which cause premature aging of the skin, remain relatively constant all year round, in cloudy or clear conditions.
Here's some news that will make you reach for a tissue: According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, there are 100 to 500 dust mites in a typical gram of dust. HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners can help control the population of microscopic beasties such as these, but for those with allergies, there's a new tool in the struggle against allergens. The Halo UVX Ultraviolet Vacuum boasts the usual amenities, HEPA filtration, electronic height adjustment and belt-free suction.
`Ultra' Milla vamps it up in sci-fi flick
By Roger Moore, Sentinel Movie Critic, March 7, 2006
Ultraviolet is the movie Aeon Flux should have been: a hot action babe carving, shooting and martial-artsing her way through legions of bad guys. Spectacular digital sets, funky future-tech gadgets, and lots and lots of samurai sword-fighting by a very, very fit Milla Jovovich, looking to reach beyond her Resident Evil franchise. It's just as bad as Aeon, but at least it doesn't waste an Oscar-winner. Best lines? "You are never going to get down off this roof." "Watch me." "Please remove all articles of clothing and proceed to the scanner."
Northrop Gives Ucf $24 Million Package
By David Damron, Sentinel Staff Writer, August 18, 2004
Northrop Grumman handed the University of Central Florida its largest gift ever Tuesday, a $24 million package of patents, cash and equipment that should position the school as a leader in developing super-small computer chips. Current computer production relies on ultraviolet-light lasers to imprint tiny technical features on a chip's surface. The next wave of chip imaging will be done by "extreme ultraviolet lithography," a line of related research already under way at UCF's College of Optics and Photonics.
Bright Idea: Clothes Protect From Sun's Danger
By Judy Marcus, Special to the Sentinel, June 3, 2004
The case for donning clothing that shields skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays is a strong one. Each year, more than 1 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer, and sun exposure is the primary risk factor. Even more alarming is that the incidence of melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, has more than doubled in the last 30 years. Although sunscreen is an important weapon to have in your skin-protection arsenal, Dr. June Robinson, dermatologist and past president of the Illinois Division of the American Cancer Society, advises taking other preventive measures, too, including wearing sunproof apparel.

John Fiore admits he's hooked. His addiction, which began seven years ago, is consuming every horizontal surface in his 1,000-square-foot condo. It all started innocently. Fiore, a former mayor of Wilton Manors, thought going to yard sales would give him a chance to meet constituents. The yard-sale idea did help him meet a lot of folks, but it also gave him something that lasted well beyond his political career. While schmoozing, Fiore discovered a passion for Depression glass. His first purchase was six sherbet bowls with feet in light blue.
THE BEST color for sunglasses is neutral gray or smoke. These give better color perception and provide the least distortion. Also, make sure the lenses are of equal color and density. You can test this by placing the glasses on a piece of white paper and making sure the lenses are exactly matched. Sunglasses labeled ''cosmetic'' absorb at least 90 percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays. They are good for sunny, bright days. ''All-purpose'' sunglasses absorb 95 percent of ultraviolet rays and are good for use in strong sunlight.
U.s. Reconsiders Future Of Solar Index
Environmental and skin-cancer experts extolled the value of the government's ultraviolet solar index Monday, though the fate of the program remains clouded. Launched last June 28, the UV Index forecasts the amount of ultraviolet sunlight for 58 cities, providing daily guidance of the potential danger of skin cancer. ''The UV Index is a very powerful weapon . . . against skin cancer,'' Dr. Lowell A. Goldsmith of the American Academy of Dermatology said. This year about 1 million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer, making it the most prevalent form of cancer.
21st-century Materials Change Face Of Design
By Marco Pasanella, New York Times Syndicate, April 5, 2003
Walls that light themselves. Curtains that reflect radar. Blast doors made of foam. Five years ago, these were the domain of defense contractors and technophile billionaires. Now such breakthrough materials are in from the fringe and within easy reach of homeowners. More important, they don't require a military budget or arcane expertise -- just a willingness to try something new. A new generation of phosphorescent paints, panels and tapes are the distant cousins of glow-in-the-dark stickers, but they give off 10 times as much light and last 10 times as long.


During Phase I of the project on the impacts of new oil discoveries on political stability in Africa, IDA studied commercial approaches to political risk. Commercial approaches to risk assessment are based on different criteria from assessments performed in an academic or public-sector context. It is important to understand the risks inherent to oil and gas (O&G) operations and how international oil companies (IOCs) judge whether to enter a new market when new O&G discoveries are made in host countries.


Ar. The reactivity of the oxygen carrier reduction is higher with a larger amount of copper impregnated. However, the degree of the reactivity enhancement is not proportional to the amount of copper doped on the oxygen carriers. An important finding is that, even with low Cu loading, such as 0.5 wt % copper impregnated on manganese, the period with full CO conversion can be enhanced 6 times. A very interesting phenomenon is that the Cu-modified manganese ore can completely convert CO, even at a low temperature, such as 500 degrees C. This study proves that the reactivity of the manganese ore could be significantly improved by impregnating copper, even with a small amount. The copper impregnation method could be very promising to improve the reactivity of the manganese ore as oxygen carriers for CLC.


"ss?" Lurie said. "." 's""
In a related vein, the concept of a "smart home" or "smart building" should not be an end to itself. Those concepts should connect back to their broader environment. "Having a wide area wireless network for a toaster or a refrigerator seems silly when they don't leave your house. You can connect those through Wi-Fi or through multiple different types of two-way protocols but the real key is: Does your house connect to the city and that broader ecosystem in a way that makes things better?Really, nothing to me matters unless you solve a problem."
To further spur adoption of the Internet of Things will require a higher resolution view than that — focusing on optimizing specific environments — traffic corridors, factories, hospitals and so forth in defined ways. "I do believe that each vertical will get more specific and solutions will be built by vertical, which again will morph into what might be part of a connected company, a connected city, etc.," Lurie said. "But [the conversation] definitely needs to come down a few layers so we can start to truly solve problems."
The focus of the Internet of Things will increasingly be "the umbrella layer above all these IoT devices and solutions that allow you to not only get that data from those solutions into one place but to actually use the data," he said. Once this level of data integration becomes possible, it will drive data analytics and machine learning. The IoT platform market is unlikely to follow a similar pathway as the search engine market, which coalesced around one platform. It is also unlikely to end up with two dominant players — as is often the case in tech. Examples include personal operating systems (Windows vs. Mac OS), video game consoles (Xbox vs. PlayStation) or mobile operating systems (Android vs. iOS). But while the IoT platform market is likely to consolidate eventually, it is unlikely to do so to such an extent given the diversity of problems the IoT market addresses, Lurie said. "We'll be lucky if there are 10 [IoT platforms]."

Yes, if everything goes according to Starlink’s plan, Starlink internet’s speed is expected to increase first up to 1GBps, and then all the way up to 10GBps.
What does Starlink offer right now?
Starlink is still in its Beta testing phase, so availability is limited. To find out if you can get Starlink, you need to sign up on Starlink’s website. If you happen to be inside an area where Starlink has coverage, and they aren’t at capacity yet, then you can get a self-installation kit shipped to you within weeks. For everyone else, there’s a waiting list. A long one. Some people have reported wait times of a few years. If you do get service, right now the speeds are between 100MBps to 200MBps, with latency below 20ms.
When will Starlink’s speed increase?
Starlink’s internet speed is unlikely to be able to increase until they have launched more satellites into orbit. Currently, Starlink has about 1800 of around 42,000 planned satellites in low-earth orbit. It will likely be many years still before they launch them all. Speeds may increase before then, but it’s hard to say when.
What if I can’t get Starlink satellite internet yet?
If Starlink isn’t available in your area yet, don’t worry. There are many other satellite internet providers, like Viasat and HughesNet that can get you connected wherever you live. Because companies like Viasat and HughesNet have satellites in geostationary orbit, their range is much larger than Starlink’s satellites. This means they don’t have to have as many in orbit to provide surface all around the world. They’ve also been in business much longer than Starlink, which means their service is already tested and reliable.

ÞÞProspecting goldminers were required to pay hefty licence fees that generated widespread resentment. Demands for repeal of the licence fees, & for all males to have the vote, escalated. A group of 500+ miners under Peter Lalor barricaded themselves on the Eureka Diggings. This brought a brutal response from the military who attacked the Eureka Stockade on 3rd December. The fighting was intense but was over inside 20 minutes. 25 diggers & 5 soldiers were killed. However, public sentiment for the miners was so strong that none of the 13 sent to trial for treason was convicted. A Royal Commission resulted in all the miners' grievances being addressed. The male franchise was extended & Peter Lalor was elected the first parliamentarian for Ballarat. This notice is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in Australian history, regarded by many as the birth of the Australian identity.

Object oriented programming(OOP) is a programming paradigm or style of writing program. As the term object oriented programming itself suggests, writing programs in this style is oriented or based on the concept of objects. This programming style says that, view everything as an object, be it you, your car, dog, chair, house, remote etc where each objects have it's own data and behaviors.
The data of an object is basically the properties of that object while behavior is something, what that object does. For example a person object have properties like name, age, height etc while behaviors like walk, talk, eat etc.
An object can be think of a real world entity, for example person, dog, chair bicycle, television etc are objects. These objects have two things, state(attributes or properties or data) and behavior. To give you an example, a person have state like name, age, height etc and behaviors like walk, talk, eat etc. Identifying the state and behavior of an object is a great way to startProgrammatically an object is a software bundle of state and behavior. State of an object is defined by instance variables and behavior of an object is defined by methods. Think it in another way, the instance variables of your program defines the state of object while the instance methods of your program defines the behavior of object.
Object holds their state and behavior within them. To get more details about objects like how to create object in java programming, how to use them etc, refer objects in java tutorial.class. A class is basically a predefined instructions which tells that what data and behavior the object of that class will have. The behavior of an object is given in the form of methods in a class while the data is given in the form of fields. We also call these predefined instructions, a template or design.
Here the Person is a class which is basically describing that the object of this class will have fields/data like name and age while behaviors like talk and walk. To get more detail about classes, refer class in java tutorial.
Interfaces are very similar as classes except that they only declare the set of behaviors of an object, they don't define(implement) those behaviors. The implementation or definition of those behaviors are given by the classes implementing that interface.
Here Shape is an interface which declares the behaviors draw and getArea. If a shape class like circle, rectangle etc implements this interface, they will provide the implementation of these behaviors. Refer interface in java tutorial for more about interfaces.
Abstraction is a process of hiding the internal details or implementations from the user and showing only relevant or abstract(brief or short) information to user. Abstractions says that, show only those information of an objects behavior which is essential or useful for the user and hide all other information which is not essential for them.
A real world example of abstraction could be your TV remote. The remote has different functions like on/off, change channel, increase/decrease volume etc. We use these functionalities just pressing the button. The internal mechanism of these functionalities are abstracted(hidden) from us as those are not essential for us to know, this is what abstraction is. Abstraction says that, focus on what an object does rather than how it does.
In java as these types contains set of abstract behaviors(method), the internal working of these behaviors are defined by some other classes. Refer abstraction in java tutorial for more detail about abstraction.
The process of binding or enclosing(as in a capsule) the state(instance variables) and behavior(methods) together in a single unit is known as encapsulation. You can think of encapsulation as a cover or layer which binds the data and behavior together in a single unit. This layer prevents the access of data/behavior of a class outside the class.
To take a real world example, we can think of cace.
In java every class, interface or object that we create is a form of encapsulation. Each class contains it's information(variables and methods) associated with it, other classes needs to create object of this class in order to access these information. Refer encapsulation in java tutorial for more detail about encapsulation.
This is another Inheritance is a mechanism by which object ofThis feature basically allows us to reuse the existing code.
Ts. By inheriting the p.
To take a real world example we can consider parent child relationship etc and the behaviors like walk, talk, eat etc are inherited in.
Here Clas Refer inheritance in java tutorial for more detail about inheritanced polymorphism is made from two words, Poly which means many and morphism which means forms or types, so the word polymorphism means many forms. Polymorphims in java is a mechanism in which the object or it's behavior can have many different forms.
More programmatically in java a child class object can be assigned in any of it's parent class type which means the object of child class can take the form or act as any of it's parent class in inheritance hierarchy. We call such objects as polymorphic object.
To take a real world example, we can consider ourself. As a person we have many different forms like student, teacher, player, father/mother etc. The same person can be a teacher as well as a player, so we can say person object is polymorphic in nature. To understand the polymorphism in detail refer polymorphism in java tutorial. not purely object oriented.
Some of other object oriented programming languages are C++, C#, Go, Lisp, Ruby, Smalltalk etc.
Smalltalk language is purely object oriented language.
Some of the non object oriented programming languages are ALGOL, BASIC, Pascal, C etc.
If a language supports oops features, we call it object oriented programming language.

I I ... for 12 years before my DX. </s> It's hard to know what to make of Tamara Mellon. On the surface, she's a cunning businesswoman with the savvy to serve simultaneously as a brand figurehead. Or, possibly, a cunning brand figurehead with the ability to appear business-savvy.
And the numbers are truly impressive. Staggering, even: Mellon turned a £150,000 1996 investment in a bespoke shoemaker named Jimmy Choo into a company that Lion Capital paid $187 million for a majority stake in in 2004; when Lion sold the shoe brand to TowerBrook Capital Partners LP in 2007, it was valued at $364.5 million. (Choo, for his part, cashed out his 51% stake in 2001 for just $10 million, and had to license back his own name from Mellon. He still runs his bespoke cobbler business under the brand "Jimmy Choo Couture.")
Mellon successfully fought a hostile takeover from her then-C.E.O. in 2007. She survived marriage to and divorce from venture capitalist, ex drug addict, and banking heir Matthew Mellon II. (He hired a company to hack into her e-mail account via a Trojan keylogger.) Mellon likes to tout her work ethic, too: she was a shop assistant at the department store Browns before working in fashion P.R. in London, and in the early 90s became an accessories editor, first at Mirabella and then at British Vogue, where she came across Choo's shoes, and when she wanted to buy into the company, Choo and the aforementioned niece, Sandra Choi, "nicely suggested" that she actually work in the footwear industry first. So she did. Mellon was then only in her early 20s. And even when the deal was struck, after her father's money and guidance as chairman had been secured, running things can't have been easy. "I had to go out to shoe factories in Italy with no shops, no track record, only a handful of designs and persuade men to do business with me, a young woman. Sometimes, I was horribly let down," she says.


He has recently released ’Honesty Box’, his 13th full length album which was ’one of the top ten albums of 2002’, BBC Radio 2 Folk show.
The current line-up have toured as far afield as the USA, Canada, and Australia in the last 18months, as well as a hectic gig and concert schedule in the UK, Holland, Switzerland and Austria.
On fiddle and vocals is Kate Bramley, from York. Kate is a member of the US folk/ bluegrass outfit Sweetgrass, and also has two solo recordings to her credit. She also runs her own theatre company from her base in Yorkshire.
At the present time the band are touring a brand new CD, Doolally’ that is Jez Lowe’s 14th studio album. As well tours of the UK, the band will travel as far Australia, USA and Europe before 2005 is out.

WWE SmackDown Review - May 14, 2015
Roman Reigns and Kane battle in a No DQ match.
Ambrose and Sheamus have had very few matches together in the last year or so, so it felt fresh and I'd like to see more matches between the two down the line. Both guys are so over in their respective roles that the crowd was invested in everything they did while they worked a very well wrestled match. Neither guy should have lost here, but having Sheamus get pinned with a roll-up was wise since Ambrose will be in the main event ofMeanwhile, I was surprised to not see Sheamus' Payback opponent Dolph Ziggler show up.
Rusev Addressed His "I Quit" Match with United States Champion John Cena at WWE Payback
It feels like we've heard the same promos from Rusev and Cena in recent weeks while promoting the "I Quit" match, and there isn't much else they can say. That said, with the material they're being given to work with, they've made the most of it and Rusev's promo here was decent. They continued to heavily tease tension between Rusev and Lana, so it's possible we see them finally split as soon as Sunday.
Ryback falls to WWE World Champ Seth RollinsRyback (Non-title)
The way this match was booked was probably better than if they worked a standard singles match. Ryback was protected via the Bray Wyatt attack (which I liked because it was something different for this feud) and Rollins came off like the slimy heel champion he is by taking advantage of the injured Ryback and the interference from J&J Security. Furthermore, I enjoyed the story they told with Ryback getting in some hope spots here and there but ultimately falling to Rollins. It was a nice win for Rollins going into his upcoming title defense that was equally effective in furthering the feud between Ryback and Wyatt.
Tyson Kidd def. WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston
These two are obviously capable of putting on a much better match, but this wasn't intended to be much more than a momentum booster than for one half of the challengers going into the WWE Tag Team Championship match. It was fun for what it was, but not nearly as special as it could have been if given more time. Of course, Cesaro and Kidd both of their singles matches this week is a major indicator that The New Day will ultimately retain at Payback.
Remember when these two headlined the first NXT live special in a Ladder match for the NXT Championship? This was a nothing match merely designed to showcase the skills of Neville before he does battle with King Barrett in three days, but there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, was their history even mentioned? I didn't catch it on commentary, but I could be wrong. Dallas can be a quirky heel if he didn't lose so often and if was actually given some direction. As for Barrett, he did well on commentary and the rubber match at Payback should be as good as their first two encounters.
Roman Reigns def. Kane in a No Disqualification Match
I appreciated not getting this match on Raw this week, but we ended up getting it on SmackDown anyway. Why not just bill this as a "No Disqualification" or a "No Holds Barred" match instead of as a silly "There Must Be A Winner by Pinfall or Submission?" Nevertheless, this ended up being a pretty enjoyable bout. Sure, it was no five star classic, but utilizing the extreme environment definitely worked to their advantage. The Spear through the table at the end to Kane was a sweet (albeit cliche) spot and a fine way of giving Reigns a win before contending for the WWE World Heavyweight title. The post-match backstage bit was also intriguing as it drove home the message that it's every man for themselves in the Fatal 4-Way.
Most of the matches on the Payback card were hyped throughout the night, but the match that received the most focus was the Fatal 4-Way. I was already looking forward to that match after everything we've seen on Raw the last two weeks, but their last ditch effort to add even more interest in the match was well done. It just would have been nice if some of the other advertised matches were hyped better, specifically the Ziggler vs. Sheamus and Cena vs. Rusev matches. Regardless, I must say I'm looking forward to getting fresh feuds and storylines coming out of the pay-per-view.

It’s difficult for geologists to determine exactly how much coal was originally in the ground in Kentucky, but Jerry Weisenfluh of the Kentucky Geological Survey said there was likely about 40 billion tons in the state’s thicker seams (greater than 28 inches) roughly a century and a half ago, before mining began.
But Weisenfluh said that doesn’t mean those 26 billion tons of coal will be mined anytime soon. Or ever.
“There’s really the three levels of coal reserves: coal that’s left in the ground, how much of that is technically feasible to extract given a certain set of assumptions about mine-ability, and then whether you can sell that coal in the marketplace at a profit,” he said.
The state’s coal industry has imploded in recent years. During a high point in 1990, Kentucky miners produced more than 173 million tons of coal. Last year, that number had fallen by more than half, to 77 million tons.
Of the 26 billion tons of coal that remains in the ground, anywhere from 25 to 50 percent is technically recoverable, Weisenfluh said. Those are the seams that aren’t below power lines, residential areas, and other challenging areas. Assuming only a quarter of that 26 billion tons is recoverable, that still leaves about 6.5 billion tons of coal ready to be extracted.

Visiting Caribbean Ocean is is an aspiration experience which all of us would like to opt for. However, if a person would get the opportunity to carefully relate itself using the oceanic water of lovely Caribbean, of computer would appear like as if your are summing up, additional spice within their holiday.
To achieve this purpose, cruising at Caribbean is the easiest method to cope with, as during Caribbean cruising, one although explore mesmerizing scenic beauty, but the enjoyable atmosphere and splendid amenities can make your holiday an eternity experience.
However, prior to going on Caribbean cruising, searching a little about specific cruise a very good idea, (as only couple of cruises cause you to visit various hidden places of Caribbean) and also the inner of those places, will certainly amaze vacationers.
New Orleans, is among the same destination, which vacationers can encounter throughout their cruising from western Caribbean, the cruise further changes it path, and provide several choices to holiday planners to understand more about some most breathtaking place like Payala del, Dominican, Panama And Nicaragua ,, Carmen and Mayan ruins.
However, the luxurious amenities supplied by Caribbean cruise trips are commendable, and something can avail them, inside a budget, but when still your financial allowance is not high enough, then, you may choose all-inclusive packages, provided by these Caribbean cruises, that will surely suit family holiday planners to savor a cruise vacation.
Furthermore, some cruises offer, eastern Caribbean tour, like Bahamas and Puerto Rico, these places offers best sailing time when you’re on cruising tour. However, the demand to Western and eastern cruising tour very rose up from March to October.
Because during summers most people want to spend the holiday at some beautiful place and sailing at Caribbean Ocean completely serves this purpose. That’s the reason you should pre-book your cruise, a minimum of one month before.

I sat near people discussing Star Trek, and treating a certain something like a big revelation. In Khan, Khan recognizes Chekov, though Walter Koenig was not in "Space Seed." (Koening as Chekov joined the cast in the second season. The "official" story was that Gene Roddenberry was responding to a Russian science fiction fan asking why several other nationalities except Russians were on the ship, but the story in William Shatner and Chris Kreski's Star Trek Memories is that it was a response to the popularity of The Monkees. Remember, Chekov looks like Davy Jones!
The people I was listening to seemed to be going "Ah-HAA!Gotcha!That couldn't have happened!" They seemed rather self-satisfied at the catch. Heck, they even seemed to think They tried to pull one over on us, but we caught 'em!
True, such explanations can get way too complicated. I remember being annoyed at the early '90s book, a book of Star Trek: TNG trivia. One section I found almost unreadable was "The Creator Is Always Right," where he overexplained truly niggling mistakes. Picard mixing up the Tarelians and the Talarians?Here, have an insanely complicated Rube Goldberg-y explanation for two syllables getting switched. Riker turns left when the computer tells him to turn right?DIRECTIONS ARE DIFFERENT FOUR HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW, MAN. Farrand at other moments came up with simpler, and MUCH MORE INTERESTING, explanations for things that weren't quite explained on the show, that added depth and cause those nice moments of "Oh!That would make sense!
But their smiles aside, I wondered if that group at the Trek event were getting much enjoyment out of that catch. I wonder how they'd would react to the biggest movie continuity error I can think of right off: at the very freakin' start of Citizen Kane, NO ONE HEARS KANE SAY "ROSEBUD." I've read the script; it specifically states that the nurse who enters Kane's room didn't hear him. Later when the reporter Thompson interviews one of Kane's butler's, that butler recounts overhearing it, but Thompson had already heard of "Rosebud" from someone else. But who?. Supposedly someone once cornered Orson Welles and asked him about that, and Welles said something like "Never mention that to anybody!" Though I suspect if he said that, he said it with a smile. I'm guessing he was amused by it. Because, guess what?THE FILM DOESN'T FALL APART. We can live with the error. Getting hung up on the error would impede our progress through the story. It would, in that case, in fact be less of a story if there'd been more of an explanation of that detail. Charles Foster Kane has rudimentary bugs in his estate, like a mid-century Nixon?


Yesterday (07.08.2019), the HCJ rejected ACRI and Haifa University’s Educational Law and Policy Clinic’s petition regarding annual payments of thousands of shekels from public education institutions for the purchase of technological supplies (tablets and laptops) where computing is an integral part of the studies. The court determinedcollect various payments, and the regulations for payments set in the Executive Director’s guidelines are not unreasonable. The court also decided that there is no proof that simply allowing parental payment within the education system violates the right to equality in education, highlighting that other values are also at play, including parental autonomy and additional goals of state education.

Okay: default position: Cats have four-fingered paws. So do foxes, coyotes, and dogs Rats, squirrels, raccoons, weasels and mice have hands; rabbits have long snowshoe feet; goats and horses have hooves, chickadees and other birds have tricorn feet with long toes and talons. These tracks are none of the above. Humans are out.
That leaves one-legged something that didn't eat the sunflower seeds or an alien.
They probably went home by now.
One of my track pics shows 6 toes... below is a pic of a cat wit 4 toes on each paw but a pic of its track shows 5 toes.!!!
Extra toes is most likely to hapen wit feral cats cause ther natural walk is for the rear foot to land over ther front paw track.!!!
The black text below the pic came wit the pic.!!!
Extra toes are not unusual in cats - up to eight per foot. I have a recently-arrived feral cat with six toes on each front paw: four normal, one like a giant thumb at about 70 degrees to the rest, and a tiny one in between that doesn't touch the ground when he walks.
And the overlapping paw-print is nothing like the right-angled pairs of projections in the first picture, which were also far too shallow.
I havent been able to find an overhead view of feral cat prints in shallow snow to verify what the prints woud look like... but at least the pic i showed in post #62 shows that the number of toes in the print dont necessarly demonstrate the number of toes on a paw.!!!
Ther was freezin rain on top of some snow... then less than 1/4 inch of snow on top of that... an that thin layer of snow is as deep as the tracks coud go an why the tracks were shallow
Symmetrical? Like an eight-pointed star? Citation needed.
I don't think it's a proper scientific approach to say "Well, it's got to go in some bucket, so it's going in this one. Job done, moving on."
There is always leaving it as an open question for now.
Only if each paw has two toes and the paws are oriented E, W, N and S.
Unexpected. I thought I was the only one in the Mystery Not solved Yet camp.
I made a couple of suggestions based on the skimpy evidence. With no more information forthcoming, I see no way to a definite conclusion.
Plus, I'm bored with it.

Where do you live that domestic cats are implausible?
"It's a cat" was the first hypothesis. That hypothesis has not been falsified nor has a better hypothesis been presented.
Both ' being first' nor 'not being falsified' are not really strong arguments for ruling out competing hypotheses.
And 'better' hypothesis is in the eye of the beholder.

Cleanup Crews Continue To Battle Oil Spill Near Santa Barbara Coast
Filed Under:Birds, Cleanup, Coast Guard, Environment, Oil Spill, Pelicans, Plains All American, Santa Barbara, WildlifeThis was a lower estimate of the nearly 2,500 barrels originally believed to have been spilled.
Brittney Hopper, reporting for KCAL9, said work crews and boats would still be staying overnight to contain the spill that has stretched about 9 miles, authorities said.
Goleta, which is north of Santa Barbara and just south of where a state of emergency was declared, is also on high alert.
Thousands of gallons of crude oil have spilled onto Refugio State Beach just north of Santa Barbara because of a pipeline that ruptured onshore Tuesday afternoon.
Locals fear it’s going to continue to get worse.
“I feel really bad for the marine life. obviously,” said one resident.
“Awful. Not only is the beach destroyed and we can’t enjoy it, but then you see all the pictures of the animals, and they’re covered in oil,” said another.
“The general public may want to help, but the fact is trying to capture a wild animal is dangerous both to the animal and to the people,” said Mike Zacardia with UC Davis.
Thapologized again Thursday for what could be up to 100,000 gallons of oil that spilled.
The spill has traveled more than 9 miles south. The Coast Guard says booms have helped.
Hopper reported it could take weeks or even months to find out the exact cause of the ruptured pipeline.

The new terms of the breakup had been which he will be real time overseas, and that they wouldn’t theoretically divorce proceedings. It was the girl choice to reduce relationships, and his awesome option to separate afterwards.

51% of Republicans now think that the “news media is an enemy of the people”. This is a very dangerous opinion to hold and it’s all I can find myself thinking about this morning.
Nearly 350 news organisations published editorials today that defended the freedom of the press. Given the results of some recent polling, it appears as though now was the right time to do so. They blame Trump’s constant attacks on the “fake news media” as the reason for the mistrust, and I can’t deny that his mouth is the most likely cause.
Any rational person knows by now that Trump brands any story he doesn’t like as “fake news” — the facts don’t matter to him personally. Fox News Entertainment regularly pumps out opinion pieces and skewed statistics in favour of Trump, yet for some reason he never seems to brand these as “fake”.
I’m not saying that CNN and some other outlets aren’t guilty of putting an anti-Trump spin on things, but the danger lies with branding ALL negative Trump pieces as “fake news”. The facts, as best presented to us, don’t always support our personal bias, and we need to be okay with that.
For example, I know that Trump is currently polling well with the people who voted for him originally. I’ve seen some left-leaning news sources claim that it’s fallen, just because it’s dropped by an average of 2% over the last six months. Unbiased news outlets and individuals are saying that he’s just as popular, because he essentially is.
I also know that he’s just as unpopular with people who identify as Democrats as he has ever been; No change there. The “triggering” of the left via hard-right policy is what got Republicans to show up to the voting booths in the first place.
What’s interesting is that his approval rating among moderates and independents has steadily fallen over his presidency. The alarming thing for me is that when this is reported by an unbiased media outlet, its declared as “fake news”.
A, and that means a variety of sources. Unless they did some Alex Jones-levels of stupidity, I would never call for Fox to be taken off the air. It’s providing a hard-conservative voice for people to listen to, and it’s their right if that’s the voice they want to hear.
Equally though, outlets that openly criticise Trump beyond what the facts (and the man himself) tell us — they also need to exist. Personally I prefer getting my news from a variety of outlets, so I don’t just become a vocal puppet for that particular organisation, but I know not everyone feels the same.
When Trump says things like the “failing print media” and “failing cable news television” he’s absolutely right — those mediums are nowhere near as profitable as they were ten or twenty years ago. Only, journalism isn’t failing, it’s simply adapted to a new form. Trump just wants his voters to believe that the medium of “journalism” is dead.
Through advertisers and subscribers, strong and decent news outlets continue to exist online. Good journalism is being done every day, by good people who just want to present the events of the day, as accurately as possible, to the American people. The best journalists keep their personal bias out of articles, but if Trump says something offensive it’s their duty to report it.
The 51% of Republicans who go as far as to say that the news media is “the enemy of the people”, a phrase thrown around by President Trump no less — which the fact that they’re willing to parrot him on such an extreme opinion is terrifying in its own right — those Republicans probably couldn’t imagine a world without the news media.
Let me try and help you out — although I doubt you’re one of the people who’re reading my morning warm-up blogs.
If the news media is the “enemy of the people” that means ALL news media is. Therefore — in a world without news — you’d either be completely in the dark about what the government is doing, or you’d be listening to a government-sponsored voice. For the sake of hyperbole, lets say that Trump has appointed his “good friend” Alex Jones as the face of this tax-funded, daily news broadcast; Available on Netflix, Hulu and YouTube.
“Good morning patriots! It’s another brilliant morning in these Great United States. The lizard-people journalists are no longer allowed to peddle you fake news and stuff. So now you good people can hear the voice of God directly! Beamed straight into your ears via government-owned satellites.”
“You may see on the twisted social-media that several people are dead in a mass-shooting — but don’t — you — believe — these — lies, okay? President Trump keeps a safe America, he keeps a better America — okay? Gun violence is a non-issue in this country and thanks to the banning of all private and publicly owned media companies we don’t — have — to — talk — about — it — anymore! Remember to visit the NRA website to renew your subscription today, before Obama can take — your — guns!”
“In real news, let me tell you how it is folks — I can not even express how well President Trump is doing, but God damn-it I’ll try. His approval rating is the highest in history, and wow — what a story. Everyone in this country has a job — okay? That’s the truth people, you can hear it now.”
“Now finally, the really important thing you have to know today folks is that if you hear someone talking — if you hear them so much as whisper that the words in this broadcast aren’t true — well I’m calling you to action right now patriots. I want you to take your rifle and shoot them in the street — shoot them where they mother-f***ing stand!”
“Have a great day America, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
A free press is a key element of a strong democracy, in my opinion. It’s how we receive the raw facts of what’s happening in the world, along with a variety of opinions. We then take this data into debates, discussions and conversations — in an attempt to make sense of the madness of it all. It’s not perfect, but it’s the closest thing we have to complete free-will and choice in the delicate system of society.
Branding news media as “the enemy of the people”, means that 51% of Republicans — Around 17% of the country — would rather words like the above paragraphs were broadcast into our homes each day, instead of the freedom and choice to consume a variety of sources.
And tnxiety dreams every night.

8 thoughts on “Enemy of the People?”
This is terrific! I understand your point. What you say is accurate. If we want free speech in journalism, we have to accept both sides of that coin. In addition, I’m frustrated with the lies and misleading exaggerations from both sides of this. I harsh lean both sides seem compelled to present as fact. In this era, many are too lazy or complacent to do the work to differentiate between fact, fiction, and grossly exaggerated bias. They’ll just hear and accept what they choose to, whichever narrative best suits their own agenda.
It’s frustrating to consistently have to filter everything through 25 filters, though.
And it’s also terrifying to ponder the possibilities of your all too realistic mock news broadcast being blindly taken as fact by groups of people who simply choose to believe every spoon-fed lie they’re offered.
I also don’t want to be spoon-fed lies against the POTUS any more than I want to be fed lies in his favor, but I suppose I can see some value in utilizing fire to fight fire for some semblance of “balance”? To be honest, I’m unsure of it all…
Truth has become a solitary needle in countless haystacks of motive-driven deceptive propaganda. What is the resolution? Is there any chance our media will ever return to a genuinely more balanced effort toward truth after this?
It’s so hard to predict what will come after this. If people take a stand against true fake-news, and then defend any kind of journalism no matter which side it comes from – then we stand a chance to return to the norm.
But given how some people are defending InfoWars as a legit news source I think it might be too late for certain pockets of society.
I hope beyond hope for the day when I might feel confident enough again in a news source to not have to spend an hour after reading it, vetting through alternate opposing sources to try to get to what really is the truth.
However,which prompts me to fear it can never return to the baseline of truth and integrity I once believed most journalism represented:
After the hysteria and shock value of shrieking lies and gross exaggerations, the actual truth often becomes nothing but a boring little whisper- far, FAR less sensational and attention-grabbing than its opposite. I’ve experienced how true that is first hand. Sensational, hysterical lies of what we desperately want to believe far outweigh truths which are usually a mixed bag of what we want and don’t want to believe.
It’ll never render the same level of attention as fake-news info wars and ultimately attention is what pays the media’s bills, per se. 😉
I’m still vetting though and vehemently hoping I’m mistaken about this…
Quick question: are publicly-funded outlets like NPR or PBS also being labelled as “fake news”?
Here in Australia, we have a lot of (very vocal) commentators suggest our ABC (and even the BBC) have a left-wing mantra, and I’m wondering whether it’s the same where you are.
I’m originally from the UK and grew up with the BBC being called bias by people on both the left and right (claiming bias for the other side) Personally I think a news outlet is down the middle if people on both sides think it’s bias.
It’s just the right wing tactic at the moment to call out “fake news” for anything that’s centre, centre-left or left.
Amazing article man!!! I agree that there is a bias problem with our news today, yet our president shouldn’t label all news as “fake” as you have described. Maybe our country needs to take a step back and think some things through about our media outlets to prevent these biases from occurring.
I agree with you there. I also think that “media literacy” should be taught in schools to protect the next generation. It wouldn’t be about teaching a correct opinion, but rather how to spot well-researched journalism vs an opinion piece or conspiracy theory.
