Slower jobs growth and overseas hazards such as a possible UK exit from the European Union prompted the Federal Reserve in its June statement to keep rates unchanged and trim back its longer-term interest rate forecasts, in a sign of greater caution.
The US central bank held the target range for the federal funds rate at 0.25 per cent to 0.5 per cent, where it has been since the Fed lifted rates by a quarter point from near-zero levels in December, as it assesses a mixed set of economic indicators.
The median of Fed forecasts suggests policymakers are still expecting two interest rate increases this year, but rate forecasts for 2017 and 2018 have been pared back, as has the Fed’s estimate of the longer-run policy rate.
After pushing through the landmark rise in December, Fed chair Janet Yellen has since spelt out a cautious approach to monetary policy as a result of concerns about Chinese growth and low US inflation expectations.
Forecasts released by the Fed showed policymakers expect two rate rises this year, leaving their median prediction for the target range centred on 0.875 per cent. Notably, however, six of the 17 participants in the most recent meeting thought there may only be scope for a single increase this year.
Interest rate predictions from the March 2016 meeting; median values highlighted
In May, more than half of economists surveyed by the FT expected the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy at one of its next two meetings, in stark contrast to market views at the start of the month when concern over lacklustre global growth and choppy financial markets seemingly stayed the US central bank’s hand until 2017.
The US was hit by the crash in its housing market and banking sector between 2007-09. The Fed felt it needed to pull out all of the stops to prevent the economy from collapsing into a new Great Depression. One way of keeping things afloat was by cutting the cost of borrowing to rock-bottom levels.
%
Not for the foreseeable future, according to Fed policymakers’ own projections. The Fed believes the rate compatible with stable growth and prices has sunk sharply because of the lingering effects of the crisis and will increase only gradually. In this subdued post-crisis world, the central bank will need to keep its foot on the accelerator for some time to come.
Adjusting the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for short-term loans - affects other short-term rates paid by firms and households. These movements also have knock-on effects on long-term rates, including mortgages and corporate bonds. Changes in long-term rates will have an influence on asset prices, including the equity market. During the crisis the Fed also purchased longer-term mortgage backed securities and Treasury bonds to lower the level of long-term rates. These purchases could now make the mechanics of raising rates more complicated for the Federal Reserve.
That is the trillion dollar question - and opinions vary widely. To optimists, the Fed has managed to engineer a respectable recovery that is outshining many other economies. They say a quarter-point increase, as the Fed has announced, would have a negligible impact but is a sensible first step to ensure the Fed stays ahead of inflation. Sceptics warn that inflation remains on the floor and the Fed risks roiling world markets and pushing up the value of the dollar.
Many corporations have taken advantage of the low rate environment to borrow money via the bond markets. Most companies say they are relaxed about the impact of a small rate hike, believing the market has already priced their bonds or such an event. However, some economists say the interest payments for companies who have issued low-grade debt could rise more quickly.
An upward move in short-term interest rates will be positive for savers who have been missing out on interest on their deposits. But the change could also be transmitted to a range of other interest rates, including car loans, credit cards and mortgages, which would make them more costly. However, the burden of household debt has fallen since the crisis, reaching 114 per cent of net disposable income last year, according to OECD statistics, suggesting consumers are better prepared for higher borrowing costs.
Investors' immediate reaction to the first rate rise in nearly a decade was generally one of relief that it is finally happening. The end of the Fed’s “zero interest rate policy” has been anxiously anticipated by investors for more than a year, but policymakers have worked hard to stress that the coming monetary tightening cycle will be exceptionally gentle, to avoid a repeat of the market “taper tantrum” that erupted when they announced the end of quantitative easing. From the intial market movements after the rate rise decision was announced, it seems they have succeeded.
Currency markets are fickle, but differences in interest rates tend to drive movements in the longer-run. For example, if a European investor can borrow cheaply in Berlin and buy a higher-yielding US bond, then all else being equal the dollar will rise versus the euro. As a result, the dollar started the year in rip-roaring fashion, with an index measuring the US currency against a basket of its peers rocketing to a 12-year high, as investors bet on the Fed tightening monetary policy and bond yield differences widened.
Since then it has continued to beat up emerging market currencies but the broad rally has fizzled out as the euro and the Japanese yen have regained their footing. However, many analysts and fund managers expect the greenback to continue to climb higher in the coming years, as the Fed raises interest rates further.
Almost every asset class on the planet exhibits some evidence of frothiness these days, but some seem more vulnerable to higher interest rates. Normally, higher interest rates indicates that economic growth is firm, and that is good for listed companies. Gold typically loses its shine when interest rates climb, as the metal doesn’t pay any interest like a bank account will, but has already been beaten up heavily recently. The bond market looks more exposed. Highly rated debt is trading with very low yields, which means they are vulnerable to even a modest rise in Fed interest rates, while bonds issued by companies rated “junk” could suffer if more expensive borrowing tips some weaker groups into bankruptcy.
There is no automatic or formal link between US and UK interest rates but the widespread expectation is that the Bank of England will be the next central bank after the US to raise rates. The UK’s economic recovery is well on track, with solid growth and a strong labour market.
%
Historically, US and UK market interest rates, as measured by government bond yields, have also moved in tandem. These are the rates, set by the financial markets that feed down into the real costs of borrowing for households and companies.
%
Bank of England governor Mark Carney has stressed that while the next move in rates is likely to be upwards, the path of increases will be “limited and gradual”.
In the most recent meeting of the Bank of England's rate-setting monetary policy committee, all nine members again voted to keep interest rates at historic lows of 0.5 per cent. Most forecasters have now pushed back their estimates for when the BoE will raise rates. JP Morgan believes a rate rise won't come until the first quarter of 2017.
No. As the prolonged weakness in oil prices continues to keep inflation low, many central banks in the rich world are expected to loosen monetary policy further, for example by expanding their programmes of quantitative easing. Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, paved the way for an extension of QE and the Bank of Japan cut its rates to negative territory in January. In China, the central bank may also cut rates further to stimulate growth. The outlook for emerging markets is harder to gauge: were a Fed hike to trigger turmoil across Africa, Asia and Latin America, countries there may choose to cut rates to help the economy, or increase them in order to dissuade investors from taking their money abroad.
We have already seen one of the main impacts: a stronger US dollar. Backed by higher US interest rates, the dollar tends to depress the values of emerging market currencies at a time when many EM economies are already weakening and their currencies have already slumped against the greenback. The Fed’s rate rise could exacerbate the EM currency turmoil, and even help precipitate a full-blown crisis.
When a central bank “loosens” or “eases” policy it essentially increases the supply of money in the economy and pushes down the cost of borrowing. This could be by lowering interest rates, or buying more assets with the aim of putting more money into circulation and encouraging greater economic activity.
“Tightening” is the opposite. If policymakers worry that an economy is begin to overheat, potentially generating too much inflation, they can tighten policy – such as raising the interest rate they charge banks to borrow from them, to make the cost of credit more expensive.
Changes to interest rates can take up to 18 months to feed through into the real economy.
Central bankers control more than just interest rates. “Monetary policy” is a broad brush term for a whole range of actions, including things like selling or buying assets such as government bonds, raising or reducing the amount of capital banks need to hold against liabilities, and raising or lowering interest rates.
All of these actions impact the cost and supply of money in an economy which are the main levers central banks use to try and keep inflation at its target level and the economy growing at a sustainable speed.
Changes in monetary policy can take-up to 18 months to feed through into the real economy.
The Federal Open Market Committee, sometimes called the FOMC. This group of people are responsible for determining monetary policy, which means they decide whether rates will go up or down. The FOMC has 12 voting members: The seven people on the Fed's board of governors, plus five of the 12 regional reserve bank presidents, on a rotating basis.
Who are these members? Meet the FOMC.

The short version is: PeerBlock blocks "known bad" computers from accessing yours, and vice versa. Depending on the lists you have it setup to use, you can block governments, corporations, machines flagged for anti-p2p activites, even entire countries! Whether you're sharing files with Bittorrent or just surfing the web, PeerBlock can help protect you from the bad guys.
An IP Address is like a telephone number, or a street address, for your computer - any time you connect to the Internet, your IP address is used to make that connection. If you go to "www.google.com", your computer first translates this to an IP address (e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>), then sends a request to that address for a web-page; when the www.google.com computer receives this message, part of it contains your computer's IP address so that it knows how to send the web-page back to you.
PeerBlock is a type of program known as an "IP Filter". It lives way down deep inside the networking code on your computer - the stuff in Windows that actually makes/receives network connections for you - and inspects everything that flows past it. It looks at the IP address this network "packet" is coming from, and compares is against a list of "bad" ip-addresses; if it finds a match, it doesn't let that network packet make it through to the rest of your computer. If also looks at the IP address your network packets are going to, and does the same thing.
PeerBlock has a few default lists included, lists that are updated often so that they always contain the most up-to-date information. You can also specify other lists, for example many people enjoy using the lists provided by iblocklist.com. And you can create your own lists, either "known safe" ip addresses like websites you trust, your company's servers, or gaming servers to which you need to connect; or your own "bad" lists of people you want to block.
That depends on what you want to do with PeerBlock! Do you want to block Ads? Use the built-in "Ads" list. Are you in college and want to protect your doings from the campus Network Police? Use the built-in "Edu" list. Many more blocklists are available, we recommend those available at iblocklist.com.
Not necessarily. While many people do use IP Filtering software like PeerBlock to help "protect" themselves from being sued for copyright infringement, it is not 100% protection. In fact some people believe that using blocklists like this are completely useless. Others disagree, and believe that even if it's not 100% safe, it still lets them download files more safely. Sometimes they invoke the "Bear Principle": when running away from an angry bear you don't need to be faster than that bear . . . you only need to be faster than the guy next to you. However, as I seem to remember seeing on the old Peer Guardian site at one point:
The only way to be "safe" with P2P downloading is to not share copyrighted content!
PeerBlock is good at what it does - keeping your computer from "talking" with ip addresses on your configured blocklists. Everything else is up to those blocklists themselves. And heck, even if the blocklists provided 100% coverage of "bad" ip-addresses, and if blocklists were 100% proven to work, there could still be some bugs in the PeerBlock software that may prevent it from working correctly on your machine; we offer no guarantees that it works, and disclaim any and all responsibility for the consequences of your own actions online. If you're sharing copyrighted music/video files and get sued by the relevant organizations, it's not our fault. If you're stuck in a country with an oppressive government and are trying to get out your plans regarding the upcoming revolution, and those in power break down your door and haul you away, it's not our fault. If you're sharing some secret footage of Area 51 and the "Men in Black" come knocking on your door, it's not our fault!
If you choose to download copyrighted material from the Internet, be aware that you may be breaking the law.
PeerBlock is actually based on the same code used to create PeerGuardian - specifically, the "PG2 RC1 Test3" Vista beta version. That code had a LOT of bugs in it, and hadn't been updated for about two years. So I started up this PeerBlock project to fix all those things that'd been annoying me for so long. A bunch of other people decided to pitch in and help out, some with development, some with testing, and now we're where we are today.
So compared with old PeerGuardian software, PeerBlock is much more stable, doesn't require nearly so many hacks/workarounds to get working on Vista/Win7, and is actually under active development . . . so we can (and will!) actually respond to new bug reports or feature requests.
No! As PeerBlock and PG2 both operate the same way, and in fact share a lot of code, they could conflict with one another and cause all sorts of strange behavior (including Windows crashes). In fact the two programs should not allow themselves to run at the same time, to protect you from these sorts of potential problems.
Only for nostalgia's sake. After you have PeerBlock running well on your system, there really is no point to leaving PG2 installed. Just note that you'll need to close PeerBlock before uninstalling PG2, due to some stuff we had to put in there to prevent PG2 from trying to run at the same time as PeerBlock.
We make two different types of PeerBlock releases available for you to download. Public Releases are released on our main www.peerblock.com website, and are generally considered to be the most stable; these are generally denoted by a version number like "0.9.2" or "1.0.0". Interim Releases are released on our devblog.peerblock.com "Development Blog", are released more frequently, and contain new bugfixes and/or features that have not yet received enough airtime to be considered stable enough for inclusion in a Public Release; these are generally named something like "PeerBlock Interim Release r131".
Public Releases are recommended for most users. If you want to help test the "bleeding edge" of PeerBlock development, or if you have encountered a bug in the most recent Public Release that may be fixed in the Interim Release train, you should consider running an Interim Release.
Just be aware that PeerBlock will check for new versions of whichever version you're currently running. If you're running a Public Release, PeerBlock will check for new Public Release versions and direct you to the main www.peerblock.com site to download it if one is detected. If you're running an Interim Release, PeerBlock will check for new Interim Release versions and will instead direct you to the devblog.peerblock.com site. Interim Releases are released much more frequently than Public Releases, so if you are on the Interim Release train and find that you're being prompted to download a new version too often you should consider installing a Public Release instead. (No need to uninstall in this case, simply install the Public Release on top of the Interim Release you currently have installed.)
Sometimes the IP addresses programs need to connect to may end up on one of the blocklists you've configured PeerBlock to use. This can cause software to not download new updates, Windows Update to no longer work, programs to lose connectivity to the internet, etc. Luckily this is easy to fix!
What you'll need to do first is to identify the IP address(es) to which your software needs to connect. For example, let's say you have a program that needs to connect to the Internet when it starts up, but that program is not working. Open the main PeerBlock window, and then start up your problematic program. In the PeerBlock window you should see some blocked IP addresses logged; right-click on these IP-addresses and select "Allow"! You can temporarily allow them for 15 minutes or 1 hour, or you can allow them permanently.
Your "Permanent Allow List" can be edited later by going into the List Manager, selecting the "Permanent Allows" list (lists\permallow.p2b), then clicking the "Open List" button.
If you select the "Always hide tray icon" option in the Settings panel, the tray icon for PeerBlock will disappear. If you close the main PeerBlock window after this point, you will no longer see any way to reopen PeerBlock and view your logs, change your settings, or exit the program! To bring back the main window, just run a new instance of PeerBlock - this will bring back the main window, from where you can do whatever you need to do.

“Ok, go on!” Chimera heard before heading to the stage to perform a lip-sync routine to “Welcome to the Black Parade,” by My Chemical Romance.
“That one performance, it's captured forever in my memory,” Chimera said. “I can still smell the other street food, I can still see all the kids and the people laugh and just jam and out, like the entire crowd was singing the song with me. I couldn't really hear the music as much as I could hear this crowd singing the lyrics to me.”
Chimera, a Boone County, West Virginia native, has been a drag performer for the last 10 years. Chimera’s interest in drag started at 15, playing dress-up at home alone, which was an extension of Chimera’s enjoyment of art.
“Drag is (an) art form. It is not a sexuality or a gender,” Chimera said. “Drag is a tool that we can look at gender through, and reconstruct it and question it.”
Drag is a type of entertainment in which people dress and perform in a particular stylized way, according to the National Center for Trans Equality. Drag commonly includes drag queens, which involve feminine performance, and drag kings, which involve masculine performance.
Chimera’s first experience being out in drag was at 19 or 20 years old at a New Year’s show.
“And everybody was so cool and so nice, (and) was telling me to come and do one of the shows,” Chimera said. “And then I ended up, I think that following weekend we did a show, and I've done it ever since. I haven't stopped.”
As a drag performer with an “Appalachian ghoul” style, Chimera often simplifies performances for audiences to understand.
“I'm a little bit more outside of the box,” Chimera said. “So, more often than not, I have to kind of water down what I do in order for other people to take it and understand it.”
In terms of public acceptance in Appalachia, Chimera said it depends on where performances take place. College towns, such as Morgantown, West Virginia and Athens, Ohio, tend to be more accepting cities. Chimera, however, also said drag performers in Appalachia have a harder time finding opportunities in the region.
“We don't really get a whole lot of the same opportunities afforded to us, whether that be where we're from or just the resources,” Chimera said. “But it's almost like it's even harder to make a serious name for yourself in this business, to come from this area.”
To anyone from Appalachian who wants to start doing drag, Chimera said it’s important to have “thick skin” and know there are no rules when it comes to drag.
“There are no rules; whatever you want to do, do that,” Chimera said. “And that there will always be a space for you, and if there isn't a space for you, don't wait around for someone to give you permission to do something, do it, and make that space.”
Miss Lady Dior, an Athens, West Virginia native, has been a drag performer for the past seven years, and has always had an interest in drag.
“As a kid I liked playing dress up and stuff, (and) I always envisioned myself as like the female character, and then I found out what drag was and it just kind of seemed like it kinda picked me.”
Dior said her performances, such as the ones she does at pride festivals, get a lot of positive reception, despite the occasional protester. However, she has felt uncomfortable in instances when she is stared at, such as stopping for gas after a performance.
“People just are not used to seeing the drag queens and they will stare at you,” Dior said. “You kind of are made to feel like an alien or something just because you have some makeup on.”
Similar to Chimera’s perspective, Dior said the acceptance of drag performances depend on where they take place within the region.
“I'd say definitely more like the smaller towns, it's not,” Dior said. “We were trying to do a show in Princeton, West Virginia, years ago, and the lady that was going to host us ended up canceling my show because she was worried about backlash from some of her clients that held some power around. They were complaining about it.”
Dior encourages others to follow their hearts, regardless of how other people may perceive them.
“No matter what people are saying or what people are doing around you, don't be scared to follow your heart and do what you want to do,” Dior said.
As a former Chicago-area performer, Amethyst Vicious has had a different experience as an Appalchian drag performer than Chimera and Dior. Vicious has performed drag for five years and was pleasantly surprised to find a drag community in Charleston, West Virginia.
“I remember talking to my boyfriend at the time and saying I'm accepting a job in West Virginia, and I guess that means I am done doing drag,” Vicious said. “I was pretty surprised when I came here and there were drag shows, there were clubs, there was a community here, and a well established community, and I didn't know that. I didn't expect that for some reason.”
Vicious was first interested in drag after watching RuPaul’s Drag Race while working late night hours.
“I'd watch the show and kind of think about what I’d do for the different categories or how I would compete,” Vicious said. “It was just something that interested me and, one day, I just got a wild hair, went to Ulta and dropped far too much money on makeup and started teaching myself how to do makeup.”
Vicious’ most memorable experience as a performer was her performance at the Berlin nightclub in Chicago.
“I think the first time that I performed at Berlin nightclub in Chicago and I looked out and I saw a couple alums from (RuPaul’s) Drag Race just in the audience out of drag. That was really surreal to me,” Vicious said. “And, just having the opportunity to share the stage with somebody that you've looked up to for a long time, followed for a long time on social media, and then suddenly, they're a part of your community — that's really, really cool.”
The West Virginia drag community is smaller than the Chicago drag community, Vicious said.
“It's much smaller, it's much closer knit,” Vicious said. “Everybody knows each other. In West Virginia, if you see someone crossdressing you take notice for whatever reason, so I pretty quickly got to know people in the community and started to kind of make a name for myself here.”
Vicious feels discomfort in drag while wearing makeup and being out in public, but it is not related to living in West Virginia.
“Just because you may not see the type of drag that speaks to you, at your local bar, or at your local establishment that hosts drag shows, that doesn't mean that what you're interested in, or what you want to do with drag isn't valid. There's room at the table for everyone.” —Amethyst Vicious
“I don't like sneaking out of my apartment building in full makeup and you know, carrying giant wigs to my car,” Vicious said. “But you know, that's more of a me thing than I would say the setting being in West Virginia. I've never felt any type of way about that in particular.”
Vicious’ advice to aspiring drag performers is to find something that makes you happy and do it well.
“Do whatever it is that makes you happy (and) that really gets you excited about drag, but just really focus on the details,” Vicious said. “Focus on the small elements, really polish what you're doing, and that will get you recognized.”
Vicious added that all forms of drag performance are valid, even if one cannot find shows with a particular type of drag performance.
“Just because you may not see the type of drag that speaks to you, at your local bar, or at your local establishment that hosts drag shows, that doesn't mean that what you're interested in, or what you want to do with drag isn't valid,” Vicious said. “There's room at the table for everyone.”
Alexandria Gem, who hails from Hurricane, West Virginia, has been a drag performer since 2019. Gem credits her interest in drag performance to having a big personality and a passion for advocacy.
“I've always loved being a bigger personality,” Gem said. “I want to have the platform to be like an advocate for things, and this lets me have a platform to speak up on things and let me have fun performing.”
Gem’s first drag performance was a “Drag me to Brunch” event hosted by Huntington Pride.
“And even though maybe I looked a-fool, that was my first real taste of having fun while also doing some sort of advocacy,” Gem said.
Gem has also found close bonds with others through drag.
“There are a lot of close sisterly bonds, because the drag sisterhood thing kind of came from the culture of the New York scene where people got kicked out of their homes for being queer and had to form their own families,” Gem said. “And even though I, fortunately, have a family who supports me, I still have my drag sister.”
In her experience, Gem found both positive and negative aspects of the drag community. In certain aspects, she noticed more of a drug culture within drag communities that has made her uncomfortable.
“Seeing people who have to use before going out there in order to either settle their nerves and even just getting so drunk to the point where you can't host properly, not only is it unprofessional, (but) it's kind of troubling,” Gem said. “And that kind of worries me where it's like, you know, I'm just trying to be here, have a good time, and I feel like it is unprofessional and just dangerous.”
Gem believes there will always be a culture of hate when it comes to the way drag is received by the public.
“All of my peers have been called the F-slur from a moving car from around the town,” Gem said. “And we've kind of gotten to the point of embracing it and that doesn't make it okay, but there's so much support that makes it kind of easy to ignore that.”
Gem’s advice to anyone in Appalachia wanting to start doing drag is to find relatable people.
“Find people that you can relate to, because living in Appalachia there are drag queens, but it's hard to find them a lot of the time,” Gem said. “I would say find a support system and don't be too resistant to critique but also don't tolerate people down-talking to you.”
Dyla Ride, a comedy queen, has also been performing since 2019. Ride, who is also a West Virginian performer, got her start after being asked to perform at the Huntington Pride drag brunch.
“I'm on the Huntington Pride board and we needed someone to host our drag brunches, and I said, ‘Well, I'll give it a try,’ so that's pretty much why I got started in it,” Ride said.
Ride is known as the “Bearded Lady of Huntington.”
“I am a bearded woman. I don't shave when I get in drag,” Ride said. “I do my face up and then put glitter in my beard, and yeah, that's my drag.”
 One of Ride’s favorite memories from past drag performances is last year’s drag brunch.
“Last June, we did a big drag brunch at the Ritter Park Amphitheater and they had about 700 people and a dozen performers,” Ride said. “And I was able to be the hostess and MC for that one. That's got to be my favorite show so far.”
Ride’s drag persona is often met with love and excitement.
“If people are coming to a drag event they kind of know what they're getting into,” Ride said. “We have had some protesters at some of our Huntington Pride events. But you know, I'm at a point in my life where that does not bother me one bit. It just gets us more exposure in my opinion.”
Ride’s advice to prospective performers is to just start.
Drag Queen Plenty O' Smiles performs during the Drag Show at Baker University Theater at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, On March 21, 2022.
“Don’t try or expect to be perfect your first time out,” Ride wrote in a text. “Don’t worry about looking like all the other queens. If you’re feeling the fantasy, the crowd will too.”
AJ Spanks, a drag performer who started performing in 2020, is an Ashville, North Carolina native. Spanks also performed for a drag show at OU in March.
After encouragement from a friend, and a long-time interest in theater and performing, Spanks decided to give drag a try.
“I've always wanted to do drag and they were like, you should perform and then basically, from there, it's just I did a few virtual things and then a few in person things and it kind of just took off from there,” Spanks said.
Spanks has found their performing experiences to support their mental health.

At first, Spanks performed as a drag king, but over time, they found a space to play with gender.
“My drag at first felt a little binary where like, I was just performing as a drag king like as a man, but now it just feels like drag is a place for me to play and also play with gender,” Spanks said. “So I'd say my style sometimes is more realistic, where I'm trying to look like a man but other times it just feels like I'm just playing with the way that gender is kind of not binary and can include lots of different expressions.”
In their time so far, Spanks has not had any negative encounters.
“Luckily, I haven't had any negative experiences,” Spanks said. “I think Asheville and Athens both are known, I think, for being queer havens a little bit, so I'm definitely grateful for that.”
Spanks encourages others to learn about the history of drag and recommends interacting with drag performers online and going to drag shows for anyone who wants to start performing drag.
“If you're interested in doing drag, go to shows like get to know the people who are already in the scene,” Spanks said. “And also, just have fun, like practice in your room, just get makeup — I didn't really know anything about makeup really — and just look up YouTube videos. You can learn a lot on your own, but definitely get connected with people who are already doing it.”


public class MessageFormat extends Format
MessageFormat
provides a means to produce concatenated
messages in a language-neutral way. Use this to construct messages
displayed for end users.
MessageFormat
takes a set of objects, formats them, then
inserts the formatted strings into the pattern at the appropriate places.
Note:
MessageFormat
differs from the other Format
classes in that you create a MessageFormat
object with one
of its constructors (not with a getInstance
style factory
method). The factory methods aren't necessary because MessageFormat
itself doesn't implement locale specific behavior. Any locale specific
behavior is defined by the pattern that you provide as well as the
subformats used for inserted arguments.
MessageFormat
uses patterns of the following form:
MessageFormatPattern: String MessageFormatPattern FormatElement String FormatElement: { ArgumentIndex } { ArgumentIndex , FormatType } { ArgumentIndex , FormatType , FormatStyle } FormatType: one of number date time choice FormatStyle: short medium long full integer currency percent SubformatPattern
Within a String, a pair of single quotes can be used to
quote any arbitrary characters except single quotes. For example,
pattern string "'{0}'"
represents string
"{0}"
, not a FormatElement. A single quote itself
must be represented by doubled single quotes ''
throughout a
String. For example, pattern string "'{''}'"
is
interpreted as a sequence of '{
(start of quoting and a
left curly brace), ''
(a single quote), and
}'
(a right curly brace and end of quoting),
not '{'
and '}'
(quoted left and
right curly braces): representing string "{'}"
,
not "{}"
.
A SubformatPattern is interpreted by its corresponding
subformat, and subformat-dependent pattern rules apply. For example,
pattern string "{1,number,$'#',##}"
(SubformatPattern with underline) will produce a number format
with the pound-sign quoted, with a result such as: "$#31,45"
. Refer to each Format
subclass documentation for
details.
Any unmatched quote is treated as closed at the end of the given
pattern. For example, pattern string "'{0}"
is treated as
pattern "'{0}'"
.
Any curly braces within an unquoted pattern must be balanced. For
example, "ab {0} de"
and "ab '}' de"
are
valid patterns, but "ab {0'}' de"
, "ab } de"
and "''{''"
are not.
MessageFormat
.
Note that localizers may need to use single quotes in translated
strings where the original version doesn't have them.
The ArgumentIndex value is a non-negative integer written
using the digits '0'
through '9'
, and represents an index into the
arguments
array passed to the format
methods
or the result array returned by the parse
methods.
The FormatType and FormatStyle values are used to create
a Format
instance for the format element. The following
table shows how the values map to Format
instances. Combinations not
shown in the table are illegal. A SubformatPattern must
be a valid pattern string for the Format
subclass used.
Here are some examples of usage. In real internationalized programs, the message format pattern and other static strings will, of course, be obtained from resource bundles. Other parameters will be dynamically determined at runtime.
The first example uses the static method MessageFormat.format
,
which internally creates a MessageFormat
for one-time use:
The output is:int planet = 7; String event = "a disturbance in the Force"; String result = MessageFormat.format( "At {1,time} on {1,date}, there was {2} on planet {0,number,integer}.", planet, new Date(), event);
At 12:30 PM on Jul 3, 2053, there was a disturbance in the Force on planet 7.
The following example creates a MessageFormat
instance that
can be used repeatedly:
The output with different values forint fileCount = 1273; String diskName = "MyDisk"; Object[] testArgs = {new Long(fileCount), diskName}; MessageFormat form = new MessageFormat( "The disk \"{1}\" contains {0} file(s)."); System.out.println(form.format(testArgs));
fileCount
:
The disk "MyDisk" contains 0 file(s). The disk "MyDisk" contains 1 file(s). The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 file(s).
For more sophisticated patterns, you can use a ChoiceFormat
to produce correct forms for singular and plural:
The output with different values forMessageFormat form = new MessageFormat("The disk \"{1}\" contains {0}."); double[] filelimits = {0,1,2}; String[] filepart = {"no files","one file","{0,number} files"}; ChoiceFormat fileform = new ChoiceFormat(filelimits, filepart); form.setFormatByArgumentIndex(0, fileform); int fileCount = 1273; String diskName = "MyDisk"; Object[] testArgs = {new Long(fileCount), diskName}; System.out.println(form.format(testArgs));
fileCount
:
The disk "MyDisk" contains no files. The disk "MyDisk" contains one file. The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 files.
You can create the ChoiceFormat
programmatically, as in the
above example, or by using a pattern. See ChoiceFormat
for more information.
form.applyPattern( "There {0,choice,0#are no files|1#is one file|1<are {0,number,integer} files}.");
Note: As we see above, the string produced
by a ChoiceFormat
in MessageFormat
is treated as special;
occurrences of '{' are used to indicate subformats, and cause recursion.
If you create both a MessageFormat
and ChoiceFormat
programmatically (instead of using the string patterns), then be careful not to
produce a format that recurses on itself, which will cause an infinite loop.
When a single argument is parsed more than once in the string, the last match will be the final result of the parsing. For example,
MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0,number,#.##}, {0,number,#.#}"); Object[] objs = {new Double(3.1415)}; String result = mf.format( objs ); // result now equals "3.14, 3.1" objs = null; objs = mf.parse(result, new ParsePosition(0)); // objs now equals {new Double(3.1)}
Likewise, parsing with a MessageFormat
object using patterns containing
multiple occurrences of the same argument would return the last match. For
example,
MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0}, {0}, {0}"); String forParsing = "x, y, z"; Object[] objs = mf.parse(forParsing, new ParsePosition(0)); // result now equals {new String("z")}
Message formats are not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

The order of formats in newFormats

If an argument index is used for more than one format element

If an argument index is used for more than one format element in the pattern string, then the format used for the last such format element is returned in the array. If an argument index is not used for any format element in the pattern string, then null is returned in the array.

EZ - Z vs E made easy¶
A python module to load, fit and plot impedance spectroscopy data. The datasets contain the impedance evolution as a function of the frequency of a perturbation (e.g. potential or light bias), recorded at different applied potentials. This data can be fitted using a model equivalent circuit or a custom model equation.
Installation¶
Using pip:
pip install echem-EZ
Or download the EZ folder on Github and add it to your python path.
Examples¶
Detailed example, fitting with a model equivalent circuit: Loading, plotting and fitting electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data using an equivalent circuit model.
Follow up example, fitting with a model equation: Loading, plotting and fitting intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy data using a model equation.
Dependencies¶
This code relies on the use of the sympy, scipy, numpy, pandas and matplotlib packages. It also uses the lmfit package (Matt Newville et al., LMFIT: Non-Linear Least-Square Minimization and Curve-Fitting for Python) and the SchemDraw package.

For this mini IoT group project, we asked ourselves how we could implement “smart” functionality into our everyday lives as simply and unobtrusively as possible. The result was Internet of Laundry: IoL.
IoL is a smart plug for communal laundry machines. It detects current flow and updates a website with machine status, and allows users to receive an email notification when a machine becomes free.
We cleaned out the inside of a commercial smart plug housing, and crammed an ESP32 microcontroller, current sensor, and RGB LED, all powered with an AC-DC 5V step-down.
We used AWS to host a Mosquitto MQTT broker, mySQL database, and Apache web server, and run Python scripts that moved data between the three. Javascript running on the client browser asynchronously pulls data from the database, and updates amperage readouts and animations on the web page.
A huge thank you is in order to Philipp Kurz, an incredibly talented mechatronics major from the University of Applied Sciences, Stuttgart, and my partner for this project.

An axis – determines which direction to navigate with respect to a particular node
Node test is used to select nodes
Node test can be done by:
/concept/title
)element()
attribute()
text()
node()
Predicates are used to filter nodes in a location path step
You can provide any number of predicates
Examples:
/Concept/Title[.="Introduction"]
/Concept[@id="c_concept" or @id="c_concept_2"]
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>child:: |
child axis – default axis | |
|---|---|---|
| // | descendant-or-self::node() |
context node + descendant nodes |
| . | self::node() |
context node |
| .. | parent::node() |
parent node |
| @ | attribute:: |
attribute axis |
| * | can be used as a wildcard (any element) |
List all the cars in the second section
Solution: //section[@id="section_2"]//li
List all elements with a product 1.2
Solution<EMAIL_ADDRESS>predicate with a number
returns an element in position declared in the predicate
Example : /concept/conbody/section[2]
last()
returns the last element
Example : /concept/conbody/section[last()]
position()
returns elements according to their position
Example : /concept/conbody/section[position < 3]
From the list of animals, choose last but one
Solution: //section[title="Animals"]//li[last()-1]
or //section[title="Animals"]//li[4]
count
counts the number of elements
Example : count(/concept/conbody/section/p)
Count the number of all cars
Solution: count(//section[title="Cars" or title="Cars 2"]//li)
contains(string1, string2)
Checks if string1 is contained in string2. Useful in predicates
Example : contains(/concept/conbody/section/p, "Cars")
concat(string1, string2, string3, ...)
Concatanates all strings
Example : concat('This', ' is', ' a', ' string')
string-join((string1, string2, string3, ...), separator)
Joins all strings using a chosen separator
Example : string-join(('This', 'is', 'a', 'string'), " ")
substring(string1, position)
Cuts a string into two based on a position
Example : substring('Drum&Bass', 6) = 'Bass'
Concatanate titles from first and second section
Solution: concat(//section[1]/title, ' and ', //section[2]/title)

...Jasmine's version of a mock or test double function.
It is generally used to "mock" a function or other javascript object, so that you can track a function's implementation.
Use Cases
Mock an API call or API return data, so that you can control the API's return data, useful if you don’t want to directly call your API during test running.
Mock methods from third-party libraries (like jQuery), useful when testing browser functionality.
You Can Mock API data?
Sure! And who wouldn't want that?
// part of the Jasmine tests
var Spy = require('../jasmine-spies.js');
Spy.api_data = {
data : {
'George' : '006',
'Sue' : '008',
},
error : 'No knowledge of the existence of this one.',
Set up a new object, with a data property, in the "describe" block.
Setup
The "tested" function
// this is the actual code you are testing
// recognize this guy here?? Look ma, no data! :)
Spy.api_data = {};
Spy.call_api = function(spy_name) { // testing this
if(spy_name === '' ||
this.api_data.data[spy_name] === undefined) {
return this.api_data.error;
}
var spy_data = this.api_data.data[spy_name];
return spy_data;
Set up the function you are testing; ours is call_api().
Setup
Mock data in beforeEach()
// part of the Jasmine tests
beforeEach(function() {
var api_return, api_data, api_error, newSpy;
Spy.api_data = {
data : {
'George' : '006',
'Sue' : '008',
},
error : 'No knowledge of the existence of this one.',
Using the beforeEach() block allows the api_data and the Jasmine spy to be accessible before each test.
Setup
Create your spy
// part of the Jasmine tests
// this is the spy creation, we are spying
// on the actual call_api function implementation
spyOn(Spy, 'call_api');
This is where the magic happens! Spying on our function allows us to track its implementation and usage, with special Jasmine Spy methods and matchers.
Setup
Using .and.callThrough()
// part of the Jasmine tests
// use callThrough(), so you can follow through
// the full code implemention on the code chain
Spy.call_api.and.callThrough();
WARNING: Use and.callThrough() to follow through on the function calls (i.e.: delegate to the actual implementation), otherwise your tests can FAIL!
Setup
Grab your "Spied On" returns
// part of the Jasmine tests
// this returns Sue's spy ID
api_return_sue = Spy.call_api('Sue');
// this call will return an error,
// since Fred doesn't exist in our data
api_return_fred = Spy.call_api('Fred');
Add the return data to variables, to use with matchers inside your tests.
Setup
Create Assertions with Matchers
// part of the Jasmine tests
it("tracks that it has been called", function() {
expect(Spy.call_api).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
This Jasmine Spy matcher checks to see if this function has been called at least one time. It might be nice to do this before testing your mocked API data, just to be sure!
Testing
Testing your "Mock" API data
it("when called, returns the requested value",
function() {
// recognize these variables?
expect(api_return_sue).toEqual('008');
expect(api_return_fred)
.toEqual('No knowledge of the existence of this one.');
After setting up our function, our API data, our tests, and our spy, we can use any Jasmine matchers to test our mock API data, like this matcher, toEqual().
Testing
Success! The tests passed!
Let's review!
[Setup] Set up the mock data.
[Setup] Set up the original function.
[Setup] Place the mock data in a beforeEach() block.
[Setup] Create your spy (in beforeEach()).
[Setup] Use and.callThrough() if needed (in beforeEach()).
[Setup] Put your "spied on" returns in variables (in beforeEach()).
var Spy = function() {};
// the actual api call would normally happen here
Spy.api_data = {};
// this is the function we are testing
Spy.call_api = function(spy_name){
if(spy_name === '' || this.api_data.data[spy_name] === undefined){
return this.api_data.error;

The first release candidate of the new OWASP Top 10 got released last week and one of the changes in particular seems to be generating a lot of comment, so I thought I’d chip in too with some thoughts.
The title of this one is “Insufficient Attack Protection” and at core I think its about applications actively protecting themselves from attack, which I think is a great idea.
What I don’t think it’s about, and it might benefit from some clarifications in this regard, is a requirement for all applications to use a WAF or RASP.
So why do I like this idea? Well if you think about almost every application kind of has some attack protection already, with account lockout policies. The application sees something which isn’t right, a login with the wrong password, and after a pre-determined number of incorrect attempts, it takes an action, perhaps locking the account, perhaps asking for additional details, perhaps alerting an administrator (maybe even all three!).
So the concept in general is already in use, but I think a lot of applications would benefit from extending it. For example if a user says that their first name is <script>alert(1)</script>
that’s almost definitely not true! It’s a pretty clear indication that someone is trying to attack your application and you can make that attackers life harder by restricting their access or taking some other action, depending on the context.
Another one could be if there’s a dropdown in your application with 5 possible values and the form is submitted with something that’s not in that list. An ordinary user pretty much won’t ever do this, so it’s an indication that someone is either editing the HTML before submission, or using a proxy to intercept and modify the request, both reasonable indications (in most cases) that something untoward is happening.
These are pretty simplistic examples but luckily there’s a really cool OWASP project that goes into a ton more detail, OWASP Appsensor.
This kind of action can make automated attacks much harder to execute and also can provide excellent alerting for blue teams to work with, and I think that’s a big win. One key aspect of this is that the detection and response is embedded into the application. One problem with external add-ons is that they can lack context about what is and is not expected behaviour in an application, that kind of context only really exists within the application itself.
Predictably and quite justifiably there have been a lot of concerns and questions raised about this suggested change.
-
This will make Pentesters and Bug Bounty People’s lives harder . Yep that one’s true, but then as pentesters and bug bounty researchers are pseudo bad guys, isn’t that really a good thing? Flippancy aside, I think that applications with a lot of active defence need to have test environments where this is disabled specifically to allow for automated testing. Some testing would occur there, and then when the final product is ready to be tested, you can enable the protections and check that they’re working ok.
-
This is a mandate for WAF vendors I really hope not. Sure some applications won’t be able to retro-fit controls, and might want to use a WAF. But two things on that, one there are open source WAFs available and two, when the security industry started pushing 2FA harder, I don’t recall anyone saying that “hey this is just a vendor pitch for RSA tokens” and if they had, I wouldn’t have agreed with them either :)
-
There’s no statistical evidence that this is a problem . I’m a bit torn on this one. On the one hand that’s likely true and data based approaches are good. On the other hand, how would you measure this? No automated scanning tool is going to put “hey we didn’t get kicked out whilst testing” in their report is it? I can only offer anecdotal evidence, that I only very very rarely see any kind of application active protection in play, so it’s definitely not commonly deployed.
-
This isn’t a vulnerability . Yep that’s true, but AFAICS this is a list of risks, not a list of vulnerabilities. It may get used as a list of vulnerabilities, but on the title page it says risks :)
Anyway, there’s still lots of discussions to be had on this one and the rest of the changes, before this years Top10 is finalized, so it’ll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

After seeing Epaminondas, I associate the stone movements with the idea of 2D shifting. There are another two related operations, namely, rotation and scaling. I took the latter and created SCALUS. Now, after some time, I made KEFREN based on rotation (the original Twirl concept is due to Claude Chaunier inspired in turn by SCALUS). All 3 games have names based on Classical History, and I tend to see my two games as an homage to Epaminondas, forming a kind of 'Classical Trilogy' on abstract games.
KEFREN is played a board with 19x9 intersections. Each player has 18 stones. The initial setup follows:
|
note: A Twirl is a move by triangulation. The origin, the pivot and the destiny form a triangle, where all cells between the edges are empty. It seems difficult to see Twirls, but after the first game, the idea becomes quite familiar.
Pivot Moves
| Some
basic samples
Stone G10 can move to E10 using E8 as a Pivot, since both stones are separated by a distance of one cell, and E10 also has a distance of 1 cell both to H10 and to E8. However G10 cannot move to G8, because of stone F8. Stone C2 can move to G2 using C6 (or C6 can move to G2), but cannot move G6 due to E6. Both C6 and E6 can capture E8 using the other as the Pivot. |
| Keep
Walking
A single stone cannot move or capture. KEFREN needs team work to achieve any goal. The easier way to move is using two stones. The Black walk could go like: B6-B7, C6-C7, B7-B8, C7-C8,... The White walk is three times faster: D10-D7, G10-G7, D7-D4, G7-G4, .... As expected, as further apart the stones are, the faster is the walk. However, the easier is to prevent that walk from happening (just place some stone between them!) |
Some basic tactics
| Mandatory
Capturing
Black moves F3-E4. White must capture. If he moves D4:E4, then C3:E5, and E4 is helpless. If White moves E5:E4, then C5:G9, advancing 4 rows, and D4 cannot move until some other friend comes to the rescue. |
| Capture
multiple stones
Black moves F4-E4. White must capture C4:E4 or C6:E4. Then Black captures two stones with movement F3:E4:E7. |
|
| Leave
First Row?
The simple strategy of do not moving the first row of stones does not work! That would mean only half the stones in the center battle, which means that after a while, there will be the remaining enemy army ready to attack that first row, without any reasonable line of defense. In this sample, Black cannot stop the multiple A1, C1 and E1 attack! |


I'm not sure if walking through walls is still possible. I'll test it. But I know that one is able to fight through walls, and projectiles such as Ignis do cross them.
Some things: * Green potions seem to not show up immediately in the use item menu. This may be an anomaly. * AI bug: if the monster hits a wall, it will turn and run away at an angle, but forget to turn back around. * Certain spells (buffs) lack animations. This is very frustrating.

In every round, every unit alive takes its turn, in a row. Your goal is to stay alive as long as possible.
Raider Hydra deals his power (first number) as damage to the player.
Healer Hydra heals the adjacent Hydras with his power.
Buffer Hydra heals the adjacent Hydras with his power, and also increases their power by his own power.
In your turn you can choose which Hydra you wish to attack. Attacking each type grants you bonus effects. Attacking Raider Hydra increases your power. Attacking Healer Hydra increases your health (second number). When you attack a Buffer Hydra both your power and health are being increased.
At the end of the round, there is a "round luck" effect which may help you or not.
Good luck!
Okay, gotcha, close this window!

To build the very latest code available...
After the build completes, you can find the Archiva distribution in archiva-jetty/target and the Archiva webapp in archiva-modules/archiva-web/archiva-webapp/target
Usually, it's that simple. :) Occasionally, Archiva may depend on a snapshot of another project such as Redback, and you may need to build that first, or configure a snapshot repository. If you're having trouble building Archiva, ask on the Development mailing list and we'll point you in the right direction.
When somebody creates a pull request for archiva on github an email is sent to the developer list.
First review the changes and check for style and impact of the changes. And check the build on the jenkins server for this pull request (archiva-master-build-pr-builder).
We have moved to gitbox, so merging the PR should be done on the github web site by using the PR merge features.
The version-specific documentation for the latest version of Archiva can be found in archiva/archiva-docs, and the top-level Archiva website --including the page you're reading now -- is in the site directory.
To work on the documentation, execute mvn site:run in one of these directories, and then visit http://localhost:8080 to view pages as you edit them. When you're done, submit a patch in the issue tracker.
git clone git://github.com/apache/archiva.git or trough https git clone https://github.com/apache/archiva.git
You can use jetty-maven-plugin to run the webapp without installing the war in a container. With maven3 in the top directory :
mvn jetty:run -pl :archiva-webapp -am # use mvnDebug if you want to attach a debugger or sh ./jetty.sh # use sh ./jetty-debug.sh if you want to attach a debugger
Hit your browser: http://localhost:9091/archiva/index.html
The selenium tests use docker containers for the selenium and browser installation. To run the tests locally you should have docker installed on your developer machine. The docker container can be built locally or pulled from the apachearchiva Dockerhub repository. To start the docker container, run the following script:
./src/ci/scripts/container_webtest.sh start
The UI tests can be run with:
mvn clean install -DmaxWaitTimeInMs=2000 -DseleniumRemote=true -Pci-server -Pit-js -Pchrome -pl :archiva-webapp-test
You should setup the following repositories in your settings.xml to be able to resolve the dependencies. Sometimes we need to have certain snapshot versions for plugins, so the apache snapshot repository is added.

pips Red=172 White=158
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
This is difficult because of the lack of Red checkers in his home board but also very easy because it turns out that all the plays are very close.
On a basic level XG likes bar/24, 6/5(3)* which looks a bit weird but, on a long rollout, bar/22, 6/5* wins by three milli-points over that other play. Also acceptable are bar/23, 8/7(2) and bar/24, 8/7(2), 6/5*.

Greetings colonel--A few days ago I got a phone call from Kenny in CA. Is he going to join up with the TRUE CHURCH? I know that Jonathon had pitted him against Nate here in AZ, as was his way to divide and rule.... Respectfully, Bob
