If you remember REST WebServices uses HTTP methods to map CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) operations to HTTP requests. Even though both PUT and POST methods can be used to perform create and update operation in REST WebServices, Idempotency is the main difference between PUT and POST. Similar to the GET request, PUT request is also idempotent in HTTP, which means it will produce the same results if executed once more multiple times. Another practical difference PUT and POST method in the context of REST WebService are that POST is often used to create a new entity, and PUT is often used to update an existing entity. If you replace an existing entity using PUT than you should be aware that if only a subset of data elements is passed then the rest will be replaced by empty or null.

How to enable SSL debugging in Java JVM?
Dealing with SSL issues in Java web application is no fun, especially when you have no debug logs and all you see is an ugly 'Page Cannot be displayed' error message in your browser. Thankfully you can easily enable SSL to debug on your Application to start seeing verbose logs that will clearly show what happens during the SSL handshake process. You can enable SSL debugging logs in your Application Server JVM config by adding the following JVM command line parameter and restart the Application Server:

Restlet HelloWorld Example in Java and Eclipse
The Restlet is one of the first open source frameworks to create and deploy RESTful web service in Java. After the release of JAX-RS (Java API for RESTful Web Services) JSR - 317, Restlet also supports JAX-RS annotation and provides a consistent way to create both RESTful Server and Client. HelloWorld program is the traditional way to start with a new technology and continuing to the tradition, we'll write our first Restlet program as HelloWorld. Since Restlet can be used to create on both client and server side, we'll first expose a resource as RESTful web service using Restlet server and then consumer the same RESTful web service by creating a RESTful client. I'll use Maven and Eclipse to create this RESTlet HelloWorld example, if you are not familiar with Maven, it's a build automation tool like ANT for Java projects but also provides dependency management i.e. you don't need to download Restlet JAR manually, Maven will do it for you. To learn more about Maven see here.

How to get the last modified date and time of a file or directory in Java
Sometimes before processing a file, you want to check it's last modified date to avoid processing an old file. Though some programmers prefer to attach date in the file name itself, I don't find it a cleaner approach. For example, suppose you are downloading closing prices of stocks and processing at the start of the day and loading into the database. In order to accidently process an old file, you can check the last modified date before processing and if it's in the acceptable range, you can process the file. You can get the last modified date of a file in Java by using java.io.File class. This is a class which represents both file and directory in Java. It contains a method called lastModified() which returns the last modified date of the file. This method returns a long millisecond epoch value, which you can convert to more readable dd MM yyyy HH:mm:sss format by using the SimpleDateFormat class of JDK. In this article, I'll tell you how to get the last modified date of file and directory in Java.

Difference between GETDATE() vs SYSDATETIME() vs GETUTCDATE() in SQL Server
One of the common question on Microsoft SQL Server interview is, what is the difference between GETDATE(), SYSDATETIME(), and GETUTCDATE(). Even though all three SQL Sever function returns the current date time in SQL Server, there are some subtle differences between them. The main difference between GETDATE() and SYSDATETIME() is that GETDATE returns current date and time as DATETIME but SYSDATETIME returns a DATETIME2 value, which is more precise. The difference between GETDATE() and GETUTCDATE() is in timezone, the GETDATE() function return current date and time in the local timezone, the timezone where your database server is running, but GETUTCDATE() return current time and date in UTC (Universal Time Coordinate) or GMT timezone.

2 Ways to find Tomcat and Java Version in Linux and Windows
You can find Tomcat and java version running on Linux either by executing the org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo class from catalina.jar or by executing version.sh shell script. The first solution will work on any operating system including Windows and UNIX because it's using a Java class from a catalina.jar file, which is platform independent. Though, if you don't know how to run a class from JAR file, you can check the steps here. Alternatively, you also have a version.bat file inside tomcat/bin directory to check the version of Tomcat in Windows. When you run this script in Linux or Windows it prints information about tomcat version, the java version used to run tomcat, Server built date, OS name, OS Version, architecture, JVM version and JVM vendor etc.

How to replace a substring in Java?
You can replace a substring using replace() method in Java. The String class provides the overloaded version of the replace() method, but you need to use the replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement). This version of the replace() method replaces each substring of this string (on which you call the replace() method) that matches the literal target sequence with the specified literal replacement sequence. For example, if you call "Effective Java".replace("Effective", "Head First") then it will replace "Effective" with "Head First" in the String "Effective Java". Since String is Immutable in Java, this call will produce a new String "Head First Java".

Base64 Encoding Decoding Example in Java 8
Until Java 8, there was no standard way to Base64 encode a String in Java or decode a base64 encoded String. Java Programmers either use Apache Commons library and it's Base64 class to encode or decode binary data into base 64 encoding, as shown here, or rely on internal Sun classes e.g. sun.misc.BASE64Encoder and sun.misc.BASE64Decoder(), which were not officially part of JDK and can be removed without notification. Java 8 solves this problem by providing standard support for base64 encoding and decoding by providing a java.util.Base64 class. This class contains methods like getEncoder() and getDecoder() to provide Base64 encoder and decoder to carry out base 64 encoding of String or binary data. In this article, I'll show you some example of how to base64 encode String in Java 8.

Java Program to print pyramid pattern of stars and numbers
You can print Pyramid pattern of stars or numbers using loops and print methods in Java. There are two print method you need to know, System.out.print() and System.out.println(), the difference between print() and println() is that println adds a new line character at the end i.e. it appends \n automatically. which means next time you write something will begin at the new line. On the other hand, if you use print() then the text is appended to the same line. By using these two methods, you can print any kind of pattern in Java program e.g. pattern involving multiple stars in one line, a pattern involving stars at different lines, pyramid of numbers, a pyramid of stars, inverted pyramid pattern of numbers, stars and alphabets, and so on.

Difference between mvn install, release and deploy in Maven
Even though there are a couple of powerful build and deployment tools exists for Java applications e.g. Gradle or ANT, It seems Maven is the king of them. I have used in several Java projects over the years and it was initially ANT, but now they all use Maven with few Scala projects using Gradle. When you work with Maven you know that there are lots of commands to remember, especially if you are working on the command line. The thee Maven build commands which often confuses Java developers are mvn install, mvn release, and mvn deploy. Many Java developers are never sure which one put the artifact on the remote repository, local repository, and tag the source code in SCM like SVN. In this article, I'll explain the purpose of mvn install, mvn release, and mvn deploy command and some key difference between them.

How to check if String contains another SubString in Java? contains() and indexOf() example
You can use contains(), indexOf() and lastIndexOf() method to check if one String contains another String in Java or not. If a String contains another String then it's known as a substring. The indexOf() method accept a String and return starting position of the string if it exists, otherwise it will return -1. For example "fastfood".indexOf("food") will return 4 but "fastfood".indexOf("Pizza") will return -1. This is the easiest way to test if one String contains another substring or not. The second method is lastIndexOf() which is similar to indexOf() but start the search from the tail, but it will also return -1 if substring not found in the String or the last position of the substring, which could be anything between 0 and length -1.

How to Find Square Root of a Number in Java - Algorithm Interview Question
Write a program to calculate the square root of a number in Java or C++ is one of the popular coding interview questions from Programming job interviews both on tech companies like Facebook, Amazon, and investment banks like Citibank and Bank Of America, etc. The problem may look easy because you might know how to find the square root of a number but it's not. In fact, it's one of the tricky questions you would encounter in programming job interviews. The first hurdle is do you really remember how to calculate square root by hand? Many programmers don't. I know they have learned it past but when you ask them to calculate square root by hand, many won't remember the algorithm they have learned in school or college.

How to check if a String is numeric in Java? Use isNumeric() or isNumber()
In day-to-day programming, you often need to check if a given String is numeric or not. It's also a good interview question but that's a separate topic of discussion. Even though you can use a Regular expression to check if given String is empty or not, as shown here, they are not full proof to handle all kinds of scenarios, which common third party library like Apache commons lang will handle e.g. hexadecimal and octal String. Hence, In Java application, the simplest way to determine if a String is a number or not is by using Apache Commons lang's isNumber() method, which checks whether the String a valid number in Java or not. Valid numbers include hexadecimal marked with the 0x or 0X qualifier, octal numbers, scientific notation and numbers marked with a type qualifier (e.g. 123L). Non-hexadecimal strings beginning with a leading zero are treated as octal values. Thus the string 09 will return false since 9 is not a valid octal value. However, numbers beginning with 0. are treated as decimal.null and empty/blank String will return false.

How to check if ResultSet is empty in JDBC - Java Example
The JDBC ResultSet doesn't provide any isEmpty(), length() or size() method to check if its empty or not. Hence, when a Java programmer needs to determine if ResultSet is empty or not, it just calls the next() method and if next() return false it means ResultSet is empty. This is correct but the main problem with this approach is if the ResultSet is not empty then you may miss the first row if you follow the standard idiom to iterate over ResultSet and get the rows which involve calling next() method of ResultSet in a while loop. The key thing, which you need to remember is that initially the ResultSet's cursor points to before the first row when you call the next() method it points to the first row and if you don't get this data and calls the next() method again then you will lose the first row.

Post Order Binary Tree Traversal in Java - Recursion and Iteration Example
This is the third article on tree traversal. In the last couple of articles, I have shown you how to implement preorder and inorder traversal in Java, both recursively and iteratively and today, you will learn about the post order traversal. Out of these three main tree traversal algorithms, the post-order traversal is most difficult to implement, especially the iterative version. In post order traversal, you first visit left subtree, then right subtree and at last you print the value of root or not. So, the value of root is always printed at last in the post-order traversal. As I told you before, all three preOrder, inOrder, and postOrder are depth-first algorithms so they go down in the binary tree first before visiting nodes of the same level. The implementation of the recursive algorithm is very simple, you just need to adjust the order of recursive call according to the algorithm and you are done, but iterative algorithm requires some effort to get it right, which you will see in this article.

How to split String in Java by WhiteSpace or tabs? Example Tutorial
You can split a String by whitespaces or tabs in Java by using the split() method of java.lang.String class. This method accepts a regular expression and you can pass a regex matching with whitespace to split the String where words are separated by spaces. Though this is not as straightforward as it seems, especially if you are not coding in Java regularly. Input String may contain leading and trailing spaces, it may contain multiple white spaces between words and words may also be separated by tabs. Your solution needs to take care of all these conditions if you just wants words and no empty String. In this article, I am going to show you a couple of examples to demonstrate how you can split String in Java by space. By splitting I mean getting individual words as String array or ArrayList of String, whatever you need.

How to increase heap size of Eclipse - Solving OutOfMemoryError
If you are running lots of Java projects in Eclipse and it's throwing OutOfMemoryError every now and then it's time to increase the heap memory of Eclipse. Since Eclipse is a Java program, you can increase heap size of Eclipse by using JVM memory options -Xms and -Xmx. There are two ways to provide JVM options to eclipse either updating Eclipse shortcut or adding -vmargs on eclipse.ini file. I prefer the second option because it's clean. I'll tell you the exact steps to increase the java heap space in Eclipse but before that some background why I had to increase heap memory of Eclipse. I was getting "an internal error occurred during repository search . java heap space" while using Maven in Eclipse. Eclipse keep throwing java.lang.OutOfMemory:Java Heap Space while updating the index or searching for maven artifacts.

How to convert java.util.Date to java.time.LocalDate in Java 8 - Example
The easiest way to convert a java.util.Date to java.time.LocalDate is via Instant, which is the equivalent class of java.util.Date in JDK 8. You can first convert util Date to Instant and then create a LocalDateTime object from that instant at your default timezone. Once you have an instant of LocalDateTime, you can easily convert that to LocalDate or LocalTime in Java. If you are not living under the rock in last two years that its 2016 and Java 8 has been around for more than 2 years, 18th March 2014 Java SE 8 GA happened. In the third attempt of designing a robust date and time API, JDK 8 has come up with JSR 318 new Date and Time API and many programmers have already started using it.

How to Compare Date in SQL Server Query? Finding All Rows Between Two Dates
It's tricky to use dates in SQL server query, especially if you don't have good knowledge of how DateTime type works in SQL server. For example, one of the frequently asked SQL queries on the interview is to "select all rows where the date is 20151007?" How would you do that? Does following SQL Query will work correctly
select * from table where date = '20151007'
It may or may not, it entirely depends on upon data in your table. When you only provide date part of a DateTime variable, it uses '00:00:00.000' for time part.
select * from table where date = '20151007'
It may or may not, it entirely depends on upon data in your table. When you only provide date part of a DateTime variable, it uses '00:00:00.000' for time part.

How to Check if two Rectangles Overlap in Java - Algorithm Interview Question With Solution
Can you write a Java program to check if two rectangles are overlapping with each other or not? is one of the frequently asked coding questions on tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and others. This is also a kind of problem where it's easy to find opposite or negative conditions e.g. when rectangles are not overlapping and then inverting the result to prove that rectangles are colliding with each other. I first heard about this problem from one of my friend who was on Android game development space. He was asked to write an algorithm to find if given rectangles are intersecting or not. He was given the choice to implement the algorithm in any programming language e.g. Java, C, C++ or even pseudo code was fine, so don't worry about language here, it's more about algorithm and logic. He is a genius so he came successful from that interview, impressing the interviewer, talking about efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm as well.

3 ways to get number of months and year between two dates in Java?
Earlier I have talked about how to calculate a number of days between two dates in Java (see here), and now you will learn how to get the number of months and years between dates. Though it may look easy, it's not that easy to calculate months and years between dates, unless you take care of all kinds of nuisances like Daylight saving time and when daylight change occurs, leap seconds, and an extra day added in a leap year. Unfortunately, JDK doesn't have a standard method like Period.between() method of Java 8 before to solve this problem. So, if you have to calculate the number of months and years between given dates, you have three main options, first, use Calendar class to write your method to find a number of months and year between given dates, second, use Joda-time library and the third option is to upgrade to Java 8.

Professional Aircraft Accessories
A $1.5-million expansion of Professional Aircraft Accessories at Space Coast Regional Airport has paid off for Brevard County with the addition of 65 jobs. That boosted the company's Titusville employment to more than 200 in late 2012, and the Space Coast Economic Development Commission puts the aviation repair firm's annual economic impact on the local economy at more than $28 million. Founded in 1993, PAA moved to the Titusville airport in 2003. It specializes in repair and overhaul of everything from landing gears to avionics.

The cover of the August 29, 2011 issue of TIME magazine features five members of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), with the caption "The New Greatest Generation." The point of author Joe Klein's article is that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have created a new kind of veteran who is "bringing skills that seem to be on the wane in American society, qualities we really need now: crisp decision making, rigor, optimism, entrepreneurial creativity, a larger sense of purpose and real patriotism." Klein profiles a small number of veterans (including a Harvard valedictorian, a Rhodes scholar, and a Dartmouth grad) who have done well since returning to civilian life and credits their military service as the reason, then goes on to make a sweeping generalization that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have created a whole new generation of hard-working, disciplined young citizens who have something "more" to offer than their civilian counterparts.
It is articles like this that perpetuate the meme that anyone who ever wore a military uniform is a "hero." TIME magazine is part of the biggest media conglomerate in the world, and corporate media is the lubricant that keeps the well-oiled military machine humming along so smoothly. By glorifying this "new generation" of veterans, they are adding to the layers of positive messaging about war and militarism, which the American public seems eager to absorb. We don't want to ask ourselves the hard questions because we might not like the answers. The media conflates the military members with the wars themselves and produces layers upon layers of nothing but superficial "feel good" messages which eventually form a fairly unimpugnable depiction of our military, wars and militarism, and anyone who questions the wars risks being decried as unpatriotic. Congressmen fund wars they don't agree with because they can't afford the political cost of not "supporting the troops."
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
Klein briefly mentions the high rates of suicide, domestic violence, joblessness and homelessness amongst Iraq and Afghanistan vets, but then dismisses it all by saying that that's all we ever hear about—he wants to tell us the untold story of a handful of vets who came out of their military experience and moved forward in a positive way. But the real untold story is the truth of war, and we will never read about that in the likes of magazines like TIME.
The mission of IAVA is "to improve the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families," and they are very good at that. They have a multi-million dollar budget, have ready access to the top Congressional leaders and have even met with the President on more than one occasion. The Executive Director of IAVA, Paul Rieckoff, has appeared hundreds of times on all the major media outlets. Why is it that IAVA is given so much media exposure, so much access, and so much money? The answer is that they do not question the legality or morality of war. They are not critical of the complicity of the corporate media in fostering and supporting militarism. They want only to support our troops, and who doesn't want that?
The mission of Veterans For Peace is to end war as an instrument of national policy by educating the public about its true costs and consequences. Veterans For Peace has been around since 1985 telling the ugly truth of war. Our members understand the devastating effects of war on both sides of the conflict. We seek justice for the victims of war—not just ensuring care and benefits for our soldiers, but also reparations for innocent civilian victims. We know that wars of aggression are the most egregious crime there is, and we point an accusing finger at our government, the military-industrial complex, and the corporate media who collude to keep the United States in a perpetual state of war. We try to use the power of our first-hand experiences and stories to prevent wars from happening and to end them once begun. We don't sugarcoat the experiences of war and the militarism. We believe that if the American people saw the real truth of war, they would end it. Think we'll be on the cover of TIME magazine anytime soon? Don't hold your breath.

Meet Me in_____
I've been blogging for a bit over a year now, but I haven't met any blogging buddies or online crit partners in person.
Most of my very close writing friends are nowhere near Nebraska. Since my town isn't exactly a favorite vacation spot, I doubt they're coming my way any time soon. My next best bet would be a writing conference, but my timing is always off.
I'm curious. How many of you have met the people behind the little Blogger icons, or your online crit partners?
Also, if you have a moment please visit Laura's post for this month's Sisterhood of the Traveling Blog question:
Does each book/story you write have an overarching theme, and if so, do you think of it ahead of time or discover it after?
Next week, my post is up, followed by Sarah and Deb!

Great topic, Lydia! My crit partners and I actually met at a conference workshop in August 2009 in Hawaii! Not only are we crit partners, we share a writing blog. It's worked out great for us. I do think, though, the fact that we met in a workshop rather than at the larger conference venue was helpful. We listened to and critiqued each others' work in the five-day-long workshop--a great way to get to know how well you fit with each other.

I've met a couple fellow bloggers at conferences, after first knowing them online. I also met some people at conferences that I now keep in touch with through blogs/twitter.
I also met one of my critique partners on twitter, and we took a leap and met in person... oddly enough we live 5 minutes from each other (a rare thing in Los Angeles). Now we meet once a week for to go over our pages or just talk about writing.
You should definitely try to attend a conference. They are so worth it!

I live in the UK and most bloggers are in the US so definitely not meeting often :)
I've been doing my blog for a while, to, but it will definitely be cool to meet my regular commentors face to face one day. Maybe at a book signing? :)

I have met two blog friends, not super close, but one happens to live here, authors of The Cowboy and the Vampire, and another who moved here recently.
I thoroughly enjoyed both meetings, and we talked for two hours! Even if you write in a different genre, (the one who moved here actually writes screenplays for teens) you will find much in common with them, because a writer is a writer, and publishing is publishing.
If I am ever in Nebraska, ; ), I would definitely swing by your area!

I met quite a few of my online buddies during my two year long nationwide book tour. I met friends in Ohio and North Carolina and Texas and Washinton. And New York. It was great. A lot of them were writer's forum friends who are also bloggers too. I loved it every time because it was like meeting someone I've known forever but finally being able to put a face to them.
I'd love to meet you one day, Lydia.

The only blogger I've ever met in Real Life is Sophia at Sophia Writes, and that's only because we realized that we live freakishly close to each other. Haha. I think it's a little daunting and scary but also fun! I'd love to meet more bloggers in real life, but yeah, distance is a major obstacle.
What's in Nebraska? Maybe I'll come visit. :P

I've met many of my online friends in person over the years (I met my husband online in 1997 in fact but that's another thing entirely) My best advice: always, always meet in public, at least the first time *laugh*.
I've met online friends face to face that came from many different arenas online as it were and I certainly have a little 'dream list' of bloggy writer buddies I'd love to have tea and Twinkies with. Or coffee and Dunkin Donuts. I'm flexible.
I think the most surreal and amazing experience was writing a chapter for our online sci-fi series in person with a friend I've written online with for four years. This friend came here to visit me while I was so sick last fall.
From Australia.
Yeah. That was quite a time.

Introducing www.kdedevelopers.org
Have you ever wondered what the KDE developers were thinking? Have you ever wondered what motivates or annoys KDE developers? It was these questions that prompted the development of http://www.kdedevelopers.org/, an online weblog for KDE developers.
This weblog is intended to be for KDE developers to journal their thoughts in a community atmosphere. This is not meant to really compete with things like http://dot.kde.org/ or the http://www.kde-forum.org/. This is meant to be an area exclusively for KDE developers to share their thoughts about KDE or anything else for that matter. It's an incubator for ideas and an area to let the community see what the KDE developers are thinking. This is not a reflection of KDE policy but a reflection of KDE developers own thoughts. This freedom allows developers to think outside the box and not have to worry about policy derailing a discussion in its infancy.
For interested users who want to watch what their favorite developers are up to, we are providing RSS feeds for both the main site and individual blogs. I hope both visitors from outside the KDE community and developers from within the KDE community find this site enjoyable and friendly.
Good idea
I really like this idea.
Btw, where is the RSS link ? :)

Haven't really had a need so far for it, so I haven't looked into it. apps.kde.com historically provides us with HTML and the kde-look.org stuff is a hobbled together hack that parses the main page of the site...

DCOP Widgets
By AC at Sun, 2003/07/20 - 5:00am
Re: DCOP Widgets
whats the difference between this one and the already existing qt<->dcop bridge ?
By ik at Mon, 2003/07/21 - 5:00am
Re: DCOP Widgets
read the link you will see its VERY different.
By ian reinhart geiser at Mon, 2003/07/21 - 5:00am
Re: DCOP Widgets
ah indeed, i should have read it before commenting ...
By ik at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
Re: DCOP Widgets
I'm not an expert, but I'll try to answer anyway.
I think the main difference is that it makes the link bidirectional... Not only can you send messages to qt widgets, but you can receive messages from them too.
So you make an XML file describing what your widgets are, then you make a shell script describing what they should do... and *poof* you have a mini KDE application.
I guess it's not such a big deal if your favourite language already has a way to call Qt, since then your program could just make the widgets itself, and then of course it could get messages from the widgets. I would guess that the differences are:
1. This new method would work with any scripting language that can read and write from pipes and files... which should be all of them. :-)
2. It doesn't depend on your users having the Qt-from-Perl or whatever module installed (for example).
I think it would be great for building KDE front-ends of command-line utilities, and for things like graphical installers for KDE programs.
Then again, a lot of my post is speculation. :-)
By AC at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
Re: DCOP Widgets
You are completely correct, but there is one detail that is missing and is not quite bug free. Basicly that is the fact that you can map most common Qt signals from the UI to events that can be handled at the command line.
This is the true power. With KDE containers now in Qt 3.2 we will see things like KJanuswidget in there too. Imagine all those sysadmins who can now have GUI front ends to all of those one off shell scripts that hold their systems together. Imagine all of those wacked out perl scripts that now can have a UI so that the users in the main office can use them.
The goal of this is to allow system admins to make KDE do what "THEY WANT TO DO" without the pain of bindings, and learning C++. Just draw your UI file in Designer, write a perl/python/shell script that interfaces with the dcop api (that is the same on all languages) and go.... ( you must be a sysadmin or a recovering sysadmin, because you seem to get this concept quite well )
Sure its not native, but damn, its fast, and probibly fits the bill for all those one off projects.
This is cool ;)
By Ian Reinhart Geiser at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
main page
When I go to the main page at http://www.kdedevelopers.org/, it really should not be empty like that. It should send me directly to http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog which seems to be the most interesting content on the site.
Btw, is it just me or are the fonts on this site extremely tiny?
By Navindra Umanee at Sun, 2003/07/20 - 5:00am
Re: main page
im still working on this page, I am trying to make it more of an information page and system status messages. Im still working out a few kinks, but for general journals its pretty good.
Another issue, is the anon comments are moderated, and im not sure if thats going to fly, the plus side is it helps protect against trolls, but the minus side is im not sure how many developers are willing to spend time moderating comments.
By Ian Reinhart Geiser at Sun, 2003/07/20 - 5:00am
Re: main page
Well the dot gets by without moderation, so I think you should relax it. Anti-anon moderation practically killed KDEnews in my opinion.
However, I do think you should reconsider making the frontpage more than just a status page and put all the exciting content right there (in some form). Unfortunately, I do understand the use for a frontpage and if you put the main content there then you don't have many options for your system/status stuff...
By Navindra Umanee at Sun, 2003/07/20 - 5:00am
Re: main page
I also support unmoderated anonymous comments, the way the dot allow it (the poster can leave a name and an adress if he wishes to). If somebody wanders around and wants to make a remark, having to subscribe is a tedious processus that will kill the envy to contribute quite effecientely in my experience.
Overcontrol has always proven to be bad, be it for code development, blog comments or simply way of life.
By Philippe Fremy at Mon, 2003/07/21 - 5:00am
Re: main page
no, you miss the point, the goal here is not for user posts. this is ment for developers. anon users can post comments, and vote on polls but thats it.
overcontrol is a good thing here, since the blogs are a service to KDE developers and an interest to kde users. If they find a useful nugget then they can post it here.
Otherwise, the main focus is for the developers.
By ian reinhart geiser at Mon, 2003/07/21 - 5:00am
Re: main page
1. Users also have good idea, even in the development process. It is important that they can post comments. Sometimes, the best idea for a software comes from an external contribution.
2. KDE developers may wander here without being subscribed and should still be able to post comments.
By Philippe Fremy at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
Re: main page
> is the anon comments are moderated, and im not sure if thats going to fly, the plus side is it helps protect against trolls
In my experience, very few trolls hang around in blog type sites.

Blog features
Do you plan on supporting trackbacks, pings, XML:RPC, RDF tags, blogrolls?
Nice idea though, might be big if you can smoothen it a bit. :-)
By Rob Kaper at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
WOW, what an exciting blog! :-( The dot barely gets enough traffic to keep people coming back, and now you want to divide it further by adding yet another news site.... which I've noticed you have yet to post any news for. I don't understand why dot readers wouldn't be interested in kde-development, and anyway you don't have enough news to keep us reading anyway, so what's the point of a news site without any news?

Re: snooze
Wow, you sure are critical...
Which is it? Either he doesn't "have enough news to keep us reading anyway" or he's dividing the dot readership...
I for one am capable of checking both sites. And, while interesting, I'm not sure that the dot is the right place for "what I worked on today"-style informal posts by the developers.
By AC at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
Re: snooze
Whoops... you're right about the /blog page. Yeah, more content!
By Jeff at Tue, 2003/07/22 - 5:00am
Re: snooze
I think you fail to see what's the difference between a news and a blog site. I (and others) sure don't want to post my personal stuff on a news site but still might include it in my own blog.

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest type of gynecologic cancer. That's probably because it typically is not diagnosed until it has reached an advanced stage. But you can help protect yourself by knowing if you are at risk for this cancer and what symptoms to watch for.
The exact causes of ovarian cancer are unknown. But the following things may play a role:
Age. The odds of developing ovarian cancer increase over time. Women ages 63 and older account for half of all ovarian cancer cases.
Obesity. For women, a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher is considered obese. These women may have a higher risk than women with lower BMIs.
Family history. Your risk is higher if you have a daughter, sister, or mother (first-degree relative) who has had ovarian cancer. The more relatives you have with this cancer, the higher your risk. A history of the disease in family members on your father's side is also linked to a higher risk.
A family history of breast or colorectal cancer has also been linked to an increased risk for ovarian cancer. Women who have a family history of breast cancer sometimes opt to get checked for an inherited problem in their BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The problem in either gene is linked to a high risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
Personal history. Women who have had colorectal, uterine, or breast cancer may face a higher risk for ovarian cancer than those who have not had one of these other cancers.
Pregnancy. Women who have their first full-term pregnancy after age 35 or never give birth have a higher risk. In fact, the more children women have, the less likely they are to get ovarian cancer. Breastfeeding may also lower your risk.
Medicines. According to some evidence, using estrogen-only hormone therapy after menopause may raise your risk.
Treatment works best when ovarian cancer is found early. But symptoms are often vague and may not show up until later stages of the cancer. Easy-to-overlook warning signs may include:
Stomach discomfort, such as pain or bloating
Diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
Feeling full quickly
Belly swelling with weight loss
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Pain during intercourse
Back pain
Talk with your health care provider if you notice any of these symptoms.

John Folk born PA died 1793, Greenwich, Berks Co. PA
served in REV WAR from Bucks Co. PA Pa Archives series
married Mary Magdeline Strock (Armstong) (widow ?)
At his death she moved to Cumberland Co. PA to be near her brother.
I have found more than one now. History of Perry Co. PA shows this
p62, Will copy next trip.
Joseph and George STROCK served in WAR of 1812, under Capt David Morelands of Carlisle.
Both died in 1814 in Ohio during war. ( also learned this book is available via
Heritage Quest on line)
That clarifies why I could not find them on census.
Back to John Folk. I found this in Bucks Co Tax Records 1693-1778 by McNeally.
Foulk /FOULKE
John pg 67, 89
Michael 47
Samuel 67,89
Theophillus 67, 89
Thomas 67, 69, 89
Thomas Jr 89
William, 67, 89
Yost 89
Interestingly, I found other families here also.
Julie arrived and we discussed FOULK and MYERS, MEYERS, MOYERS unti the trip
was to end. So I did not get to scan those pages but had them marked down for
safe keeping.
We shared FOULK - MYERS data. I gave her much history of the family from moving to
Iowa to Wyo and then scattered else where. I was able to share with her the
knowledge of my Grandmothers' siblings. {Thanks Dad for all those trips you took us on
to learn about family.}
I could tell her who had children and who did not. I met all of the siblings of my
Great Aunt's and Uncle's that were alive at the times of our visits.
John and Mary FOLK had several children: Here we will discuss Peter Sr.
Peter (SR)b June 1773 and died 4 April 1823 Rye Tsp, Perry Co. PA and wife Catherine
born in 12 July 1774 Bucks Co PA
I suspect that Peter was born in Bucks Co. but have not found it due to looking in
Berks Co.
Peter's Will Pg 97 Vol A Perry Co. PA
Their children: In no order of birth: Peter Jr. 25 Jan 1803 Perry Co.PA. Dcd 13 Aug
1885; Sarah (Jane) Elizabeth, 28 Jul 1813 d 21 March 1860; Joseph, Elizabeth, Ann,
Mary, Susannah, Catherine, Henry, Samuel and John b 1797 Perry Co PA & d 17 Sept 1869.
(2 wives)
Elizabeth ma a GAMBER. Ann m a GROOS, Susannah a MESSENGER, Catherine ma a NOSS,(Nast) These are from Grandmothers notes. Given to me in the 1960's when her mind
was sharp. Actually she always had a sharp mind until the very end.
I have conversed with NOSS descendants. I think they were in Kansas???
Now we go back to my family lines. Peter Jr ma Susannah (Susan Martin Showalter) and
his sister Sarah Elizabeth (Jane) Foulk mar John MYERS.
Peter and Susannah had: William Henry b 22 Feb 1846 Somerset Co. PA d 1940 Blackhawk

Hi Susi,ReplyDelete
My name is Amanda and Sarah and John would have been my 4x's great-grandparents. Their son Cenas relocated to the McPherson, KS area, where my family has been for several generations. Do you have much personal information about Sarah? I can't seem to find much.
Thanks! Good luck in your search!

Josh Turner Is Star of Board Room and Basketball Court in New 'Time Is Love' Video
The irony of Josh Turner's 'Time Is Love' video is that by the end, everyone has listened to the singer's message except for the singer. The just-released clip ends with Turner alone in gym shorts on a dark basketball court. All of his friends have gone home to the women and families that they love.
In reality, the famously deep-voiced country crooner is the perfect choice to sing this song, as he has always been a father to Hampton, Colby and Crawford and husband to Jennifer before a famous country star. The video for 'Time Is Love' will remind men to leave work at work because there is a good woman — and perhaps even a couple of kids — waiting for you at home. The other actors are frequently getting text messages throughout the day that read "miss you" or similar sentiments.
It's been awhile since the 'Your Man' singer has released a music video, and a few fans may be surprised by the smile lines and crow's feet carved into the 34-year-old's face. It's difficult to argue that the signs of age add anything but credibility to his message. After all, great country stars — like fine wine — tend to only get better with age.
Watch the Josh Turner 'Time Is Love' Video

I Saw a Mighty Angel Fly
31243, Hymns, I Saw a Mighty Angel Fly, no. 15
1. I saw a mighty angel fly;
To earth he bent his way,
A message bearing from on high
To cheer the sons of day.
Truth is the message which he bears,
The gospel's joyful sound,
To calm our doubts, to chase our fears,
And make our joys abound.
2. He cries, and with a mighty voice;
Ye nations lend an ear,
And isles and continents rejoice:
The great Redeemer's near!
He cries; let ev'ry ear attend,
And thrones and empires all!
Fear God, and make the Lord your friend,
The King, the Lord of all!
3. Fear God, who made the water pure,
The heavens, sea, and land.
His judgment will be swift and sure;
The day is nigh at hand.
Then, all ye people, worship God;
Give glory to his name!
To spread these tidings far abroad
The holy angel came.

The issue of history - as in World War II history - has surfaced in northeast Queens. Councilman Peter Koo is dedicating a street and, he hopes, a monument to Korean women who were used as prostitutes for Japanese soldiers, known collectively as "comfort women."
People argue over history all the time. Some Japanese citizens are unhappy that Koo is recognizing an issue that they say Korean citizens and Korean Americans may have fabricated. Were these women voluntarily prostituting themselves or were they forced into this awful life? They claim that Koo is using the issue to curry favor with a largely Korean district that he barely won three years ago.
The proposal is still in the planning stages. Community leaders and Koo are talking about where they want the street named and what kind of monument, if any, will be sufficient. This would not be the first recognition of these women. There is a similar memorial in Palisades Park, New Jersey.
Why not have some recognition of these women in this community? In New York City, there is never going to be a better reason to rename a street, park, or build a monument than for an American war hero or local first responder to an emergency.
But after those important reasons, we do name streets for other people, and this could be a good healing effort. Is Koo using it to garner votes? If he was, he would have made it an issue last election, when he really needed it running as a Republican in a largely Democratic district.
(Koo has since switched parties, and will run as a Democrat for re-election.)
Local politics creates its own issues. I remember people telling me not to run a national election in a local race. Nobody cares about social security and the federal budget on the local level, they said. They were right. The district tells you what matters, and it told Koo about "comfort women."
Even if the history here is a little blurry, prostitution is a sad situation that very few enthusiastically seek as a profession. This would give light to an invisible population of people. If this makes the plight of these women more visible, why not dedicate a street to them?
James McClelland, Koo's chief of staff, explained that the councilman "listened to the community and Korean leaders indicated that this was something they had been thinking about."
The city has this interesting way of dedicating streets, where the City Council votes on all proposals at once. Meaning they either approve the street namings in a lump sum, or they disapprove in a lump sum. They often try to vet these issues a little in advance, and that may be happening now.
Rhode Island's Homeless Bill
Rhode Island's State Senate has passed legislation that would establish a "Homeless Bill of Rights," which would, among other things, aim to prohibit potential employers from nixing the job applications of homeless people based solely on the fact that they might list a shelter as their address.
Rhode Island's proposed bill has some good ideas in it, but it also has some language that can be improved upon.
Advocates in Rhode Island want the legislation to steer law enforcement from harassing the homeless, which can be a little subjective. There are laws on the books already to protect basic human rights, but police asking someone why they are in a particular place is a part of police work. Being arrested for no reason is an entirely different ball game.
This is a good time for all states to call on the federal government to adopt a change in how it defines affirmative action. Certain – slight – preferences can be made to people at the entry level that benefit those under the poverty level. Make poverty the barometer for a re-tooled affirmative action policy, and you will give homeless people who are seeking work a much bigger bill of rights that you can imagine.
Instead of their homelessness being a disqualification, it would actually get them a little break in the process. And you can do it without introducing a new law. Some African American scholars, such as Cornell West, support this idea.
The Rhode Island bill passed the State Senate by a large margin, which means the state is thinking about homelessness, and their Independent governor, Lincoln Chafee, is likely to sign it.

Researchers offer $50 for PFAS stories from Katherine, NT
Katherine residents will be offered $50 to tell their PFAS stories.
Researchers from the Australian National University will be in town next week as part of their $2 million study into the health risks of living with PFAS on behalf of the Federal Government.
ANU is coordinating Phase II of the epidemiological project — Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): an epidemiological study—in Oakey, Queensland, Williamtown, New South Wales and Katherine.
The Research School of Population Health and external collaborators are conducting the PFAS Health Study under contract to the Federal Department of Health.
The ANU runs focus group discussions to collect their research.
Participants will receive a $50 cash voucher on the completion of the discussion.
The ANU will present its PFAS Health Study to Katherine at a "community consultation" to be held on Thursday from 6.30pm-7.30pm at Knott's Crossing.
The focus groups are described as "an opportunity... to discuss issues related to living in a PFAS investigation area and to shape the direction of the next phase of our research".
"The purpose of these discussions is to gather information about the social and health-related experiences and views from current residents and workers exposed to PFAS.
Feedback from the study groups will feed into the study into the effects of PFAS chemicals.
For more information – email firstname.lastname@example.com

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was using its GOES-13 satellite to capture Hurricane Sandy as it went from being a fierce tropical storm, to a full-blown hurricane this morning when it made landfall on Jamaica. You can watch as the surging clouds slowly begin to cycle around each other, eventually becoming a monster of a geophysical force.
According to NASA:
This animation of NOAA's GOES-13 satellite observations from Oct. 21-24, 2012, shows Tropical Storm Sandy become a hurricane just before making landfall in Jamaica and Tropical Storm Tony form and strengthen in the central Atlantic Ocean. Sandy became a hurricane on Oct. 24 at 11 a.m. EDT when its maximum sustained winds hit 80 mph (130 kph). At that time, it was centered about 65 miles (100 km) south of Kingston, Jamaica.
You can track Hurricane Sandy's progress via the NOAA website

Headlining Again: Flirting with Insufferable
Two weeks ago, on January 25, a public affairs representative asked me if I wanted to make a statement in advance of the historic blizzard predicted for the Northeast. After that conversation, a little write up was released offering me up as an expert for the press. My comment was that I didn't think the storm should be conflated with climate change, and I had doubts about it being "historic." This, of course, assured that no one would call me in advance of the blizzard. My more pithy comment, that it would be historic in the sense that it was consistent with history, did not carry the day either. Given the way the forecast and the reporting unfolded, I have been given an opportunity to be completely insufferable.
Here's a little record of the news cycle on my Tumblr site.
Given that my last blog was on the role that we scientists sometimes play in fueling climate-science controversies, the blizzard seems like a natural follow on. In fact, the 2011 piece with Christine Shearer, "Changing the Media Discussion on Climate and Extreme Weather," used the example of event attribution as a place where scientists fuel headlines that are not always productive.
Here are the three reasons that I declined to conflate the storm with climate change and to talk about a potential "historic" event.
1. The practice of trying to attribute some portion of a storm to climate change is a no-win practice. I understand the curiosity that leads to public interest. I understand the curiosity of the scientific investigation of event attribution. I am not convinced that there is any policy relevance of event attribution.
We have one climate, the Earth's climate. We have one atmosphere. If we focus on the atmosphere, then we have weather that occurs in the atmosphere, and we have the climate of that atmosphere. Weather and climate are both ways that humans describe temperature, moisture, winds, etc., in this case, associated with the atmosphere. Weather and climate are not separate and independent things; they are different descriptions of the same measures of the atmosphere. If climate changes, weather changes. If weather changes, climate changes. Therefore, every weather event occurs in our changing climate on our warming Earth. Since our understanding and description of weather relies on temperature, moisture, wind, and how they vary, it is unrealistic to imagine that weather events are not influenced by the changing climate.
The questions of how an event differs, today, in our warmer climate from a similar event in the past, can be addressed, but such a determination relies upon statistics and statements of probability and likelihood. Conclusions are never definitively verifiable. Probability and likelihood are notoriously difficult ways to communicate in quiet consultation, and even more difficult in newspapers, on the radio, television and online. Probability and risk are just made for conflicting headlines. The conclusions are, therefore, by definition, uncertain, and uncertainty can always fuel both sides of a rhetorical or a political argument. Therefore, as with marking one temperature record after another, attribution headlines obscure what is important about climate change.
2. As in my series on the not so "super El Nino," predicting an extreme event as super, historic or unprecedented mostly sets the predictor up as a foil to those interested in maintaining the turmoil of conflicting headlines. Extreme events are rare, and an event that is more extreme than any previous extreme event is rarer. Therefore, many things have to come together to justify such a prediction. I count on the dispassionate language of science-based organizations to describe model forecasts. The appearance of imprecise adjectives of extremes should be expected to fuel an extreme-fascinated society into its next exercise of false urgency and compulsion for crisis management. When I was asked to comment on whether or not a historic storm was likely for a particular place at a particular time, the forecast was far too distant in the future; too many things had to come together, perfectly, to justify such a prediction.
3. I am not a weather forecaster. I have worked with outstanding forecasters. I have managed the building and verification of weather-forecasting systems and climate models. There were a number of attributes of the model prediction that raised yellow flags. This included the fact that weather-forecast reporting, now, has the gamesmanship of Euro versus U.S.
What were the yellow flags? The forecast was for a fast moving disturbance to move across the continent, to interact with a front off of the East Coast, to grow, and to move to the north and east. The first yellow flags were a lot of moving parts and growing. Then, there is a set of aspects that put up more warning flags. There is the need to get water from the warmer-than-normal ocean, transport that water, and convert it to rain and snow. These are aspects of modeling that are difficult to represent and more different to link together.
Within the model, there are events occurring on different measures (scales) of space and time. The evaporation of water is represented in the models in areas on the Earth's surface that are a few kilometers on their sides. The actual evaporation occurs in much smaller representative areas and depends on many unrepresented details of the Earth's surface. The evaporation, the transport, and the conversion of water from liquid to vapor, from vapor to water, ice and snow, must be organized into moving and growing storms whose geographical extent is from 10 to 100 times larger. We want to know the transition line between rain, sleet and snow. Then, after all of these elements of a storm are collected together and forecast into the future, we ask the model to give us an answer that distinguishes Manhattan from Queens from Hauppauge. We want answers separated by smaller distances than the smallest distances that the models represent. The expectations are not in realistic alignment with possibility. There are too many things that have to come together in the 24-48 hours of the forecast to justify the hyperbole of super, historic and unprecedented.
Weather and climate models are amazing and powerful tools. They help us think about what the weather and climate will do. They help us think about how to prepare. They also have intrinsic, sometime irreducible limitations. With regard to this weather forecast, if a model represents the surface of the Earth with patches of surface than are 10 km on the side, then the uncertainty associated with a particular weather event is more like 50 to 100 km (Recent effective resolution paper). Within that range of uncertainty, the forecast of the 2015 Northeast blizzard was spot on.
Weather and climate models are powerful and dispassionate tools. They have no control over how we take that information, determine knowledge content, describe that knowledge, react to that knowledge and use that knowledge. There are those trained in interpretation of forecasts and the prediction of weather events. There are those trained in the identification of vulnerabilities and assessment of risk. There are those trained in response to perceived risk and in response to realized risk. There are those trained in communication, and those trained in capturing audience. Increasingly, we allow our communication to be framed by those experts in capturing audience; we watch stories flame in news cycles that are rife with inaccuracy and incompleteness. We allow the foibles of communication to damage the chain of expertise for making and using forecasts.
This weekend Dean Smith died. Dean Smith has a larger-than-life iconography in sport, society and life. Smith was notorious for causing chaos at the end of basketball games when Carolina was trailing. In that chaos was opportunity. Weather, climate and the relationship of weather and climate play out in public, where there are many chattering voices looking for attention and audience – mine included. The desire to predict, for rightness and for attention motivates us to take distinguishing positions that differentiate us from others. This is chaotic. Then there are those in the climate-change conversation who are deliberately chaotic. As scientists claiming to advocate knowledge-based decisions, we must understand that we step into this world of natural and manufactured chaos. There are things we do repeatedly, record marking and event attribution amongst them, which help fuel the chaos, and obscure what is important about climate change.

SAN JOSE — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce intends to open its first-ever office in Silicon Valley, the business group said Tuesday, and some local experts think San Jose and Palo Alto are the leading choices for a site.
The Chamber says it's creating a Center for Advanced Technology & Innovation to better meet the needs of its tech members nationwide, and that the center will have offices in Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C.
"We're in the process of establishing this new chamber office in Silicon Valley to expand our engagement with high-tech industries on membership, policy issues, regulatory matters and international opportunities and challenges," David Chavern, president of the new center, said in an email. Chavern most recently was chief operating officer of the U.S. chamber.
Some local tech experts embraced the chamber's decision.
"Silicon Valley is a significant force not only in the tech world, but in the business world generally," said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Campbell-based Creative Strategies, a market researcher. "It is strange it has taken the chamber this long to acknowledge that. But better late than never."
A representative said the U.S. chamber hasn't yet chosen a city for the Silicon Valley location, and hasn't yet decided yet when the office will open. Recently, the U.S. Patent Office picked San Jose for its local operations.
"San Jose or Palo Alto would be the two cities that make the most sense to be in," said Rob Enderle, a San Jose-based tech market researcher. "Palo Alto because that's where most of the venture capitalists are located; San Jose because it is the largest city in the area and it is kind of central to all of the other tech cities."

For many seniors, the warm summer months are favored over winter, due to achiness and pain associated with colder temperatures. While summer brings warmer days and more activities outdoors, it also brings the danger of dehydration. It's easy for any of us to become dehydrated, but it can be especially dangerous for seniors. Here's why…
Why Seniors Are More at Risk for Dehydration
There are several reasons why senior adults are at risk for dehydration and imbalanced electrolytes. As we age, our bodies don't hold water as well as our younger years. This can cause problems regulating body temperature and even sensing true thirst. Older adults can often not realize they are thirsty and need to drink more water until they are ill from dehydration.
There are also several medications that can cause seniors to become more vulnerable to dehydration. When you add in problems such as dementia, seniors can forget to drink enough fluids which can cause them even greater risk in the sun. There are many drugs that have diuretics, laxatives or other ingredients which cause frequent urination, and this can be a real threat for seniors to become dehydrated. When urination becomes too frequent, the electrolytes can be seriously compromised. To make matters even worse, many seniors who have dealt with or fear incontinence may start refusing to drink enough fluids in order to avoid accidents.
What are the Symptoms of Dehydration?
If you are a caretaker for a senior loved one, you should be aware of the signs of dehydration. If you see any of these symptoms, speak to a medical professional to get help dealing with it. The key to avoiding the dangers of fluid loss is recognizing the early signs. Bear in mind that a person can be thirsty but still dehydrated. You should be looking for other signs also, such as cramps in the muscles, dry or white tongue, lethargy, and constipation. One of the biggest red flags is darker colored urine. A properly hydrated individual should have clear to light yellow urine output.
More Signs of Severe Dehydration
• Extended periods without urination
• Darker amber-colored urine
• Dry skin that has no elasticity when pinched
• Confusion or agitation
• Low blood pressure
• Rapid heartbeat
• Weak pulse

Increasing Fluid Intake
Many fluids can help get us to that 64-ounce amount needed each day. While water is always best, any fluid will do as long as it isn't alcohol, which will dry you out. If your older adult is bored with plain water, try getting flavor enhancers to add to bottled water, drinking diluted juice or using a water bottle that will infuse fruit into the water.
Perhaps savory liquids will be more appealing—options such as broth or clear soups are a great way to increase fluids in the body, as well as getting some vital nutrients.
Smoothies, popsicles, and spritzers are a wonderful way to increase fluid if the person has a sweet tooth.
This may sound silly, but something as simple as how a beverage is served can have a significant impact on a person's willingness to drink it. Cold smoothies and milkshakes should be really nice and cold, and soups and broth should be hot enough to feel like a comforting drink. Sometimes, even the glassware used has an impact on the senior's willingness to consume more fluid. Try using pretty glassware or adding garnish to a beverage to make it look and taste more appealing.
Above all else, close communication with your senior loved one's physician is vital. Some chronic medical conditions can cause dehydration, so more measure may need to be taken to ensure your loved one isn't getting dehydrated.
