![]() ![]() Which is better, Vinyl or Laminate? Main differences between Vinyl and Laminate The bottom layer is either a soft foam or paper. A thin, impact-resistant third layer covers the high-density fiberboard, making up the product’s bulk. A clear wear layer covers this layer to protect the printed image. Its second-or décor layer-includes a printed image that imitates the look of more expensive flooring, like stone, tile, or wood. It’s intended to be affordable and durable and consists of up to five layers sealed together during the lamination process. Laminate flooring is made of high-density wood fiberboard. ![]() The middle s made of a thick plastic core, which forms the majority of the flooring. Vinyl’s top layer is transparent, covering the image layer below it. This cork or foam layer also provides a cushion to make the floor more comfortable and is a sound barrier to reduce noise. The bottom layer-called the backing-is usually made of foam or cork and acts as the underlayment so that no other material is required prior to laying the actual vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring is made up of up to four layers of materials, with 100% polymers and no organic content. Let’s look at vinyl and laminate and compare each of their characteristics so you can decide which is better for your home. That may have been true years ago, but with new materials and manufacturing techniques, there are now distinctive differences in moisture resistance, durability, and maintenance. Many people think vinyl and laminate flooring are the same. Laminate flooring, Main differences Main differences between Vinyl Flooring and Laminate Flooring In this blog, we’ll explore the differences between vinyl and laminate flooring to help you decide which is best. However, vinyl and laminate have different characteristics and features. Both types of flooring are affordable and low-maintenance alternatives to traditional hardwood and stone materials. When choosing the ideal flooring for your home or business, numerous options are available, including vinyl and laminate flooring. ![]()

If a talented director, he or she could take one of those roles as well. Instructors are on a different pay scale. Remember that your department head should be more of an administrative position at your club than an instructor. Call the other clubs in the area, and find out how they have compensated their department head and look at their program size and membership numbers at the same time. We should do the same in terms of filling a Director of Tennis or Fitness position. By comps we mean just that – you don’t buy a house without investigating comparable houses and their selling points in the area. Perhaps the first question we should ask when looking at this issue is the following: What does the club and its governors think the actual director’s job is worth? When considering this point of view, take into account the region, the size of the club and its membership, the revenue of the program over the past several years, and get comps. ![]() What Is The Role Worth To The Club And Its Membership? With on-court revenue splits, independent contractor versus employee status, and with non-profit 501(c)7 clubs competing within the same personnel talent pool against for-profit clubs and corporations, the question will forever be at the forefront of our industry when hiring that new staff member. There are so many ways to slice a pie, there seems to be no clear industry standard as to what a “regular” compensation package should be for an instructor or a Director of Tennis or Fitness. ![]() It’s the age old question: What should be a tennis professional’s compensation? Is your club paying too much for that junior tennis instructor, that Pilates instructor, or is your department head at tennis or fitness leaving annually because the compensation package is just too low for your region?

The “Serenity Serves” presentation goes well at the interfaith council. She knows Collins would love to donate some wood for the arbor, so let’s add him as well. Oh, and there’s one more according to Grace. But they cannot resist and add Grace and Neville to the list. The ladies hesitate, trying to abide by Dana Sue’s mandate for a very small select group of people. Grace politely requests that they be able to come to the ceremony since they love Ronnie and Dana Sue so much. So, that is why the platters will be on the house. Dana Sue came to the rescue with 12 jars of olives free of charge. The deer demolished all the olive jars leaving them emptyhanded for an olive pizza birthday party scheduled. When Helen and Maddie try to refuse, they share a funny story about a deer who ambushed Wharton’s kitchen years ago. Grace and Neville want to provide the food at no charge. Maddie and Helen meet with Wharton’s owners Grace and Neville about purchasing a small number of sandwich platters for the renewal ceremony. The small town really seems to care for and appreciate each other. Clearly, Cal has enjoyed being a part of the prank! When the answer is no, she realizes it must be her mom, Paula. Maddie gasps and asks if it was Dana Sue and Helen. As her head swings back, she sees North tucked in the corner of her patio furniture. Or did they? Cal and Maddie practice their tango on her front porch. No one ever found North the ceramic fox that stays beneath the stairs at the chapel. One of the best community events of the season has to be the Forager Festival. Oooh, they tell her they want all the scoop about how it goes. The ladies learn that she and Cal are scheduled to have dinner with Cal’s ex-wife Vicky. Dana Sue proposes a date, but Maddie is unavailable that night. But why has he not come back? Has she done something wrong? Maddie agrees to look far and wide to find the perfect cake.Īnother topic for discussion is the need for some practice time with June for their upcoming presentation to the interfaith council.

You can follow our passphrase-generating instructions above, using four dice instead of five. When using one of our short wordlists (which contain 1296 words), roll only four dice at once. Different wordlists may produce passphrases with different degrees of memorability, but you don't get a significantly different passphrase strength by using one wordlist over another, if the lists are the same length. The more words you use, the stronger the passphrase. We recommend selecting a minimum of six words from our long wordlist, or when using any other list of this size. Notes on Using the Different WordlistsĮFF's new long list, referenced in the directions above, is designed for memorability and passphrase strength. If you reuse a passphrase and it ends up being leaked in a data breach or otherwise discovered, it can be used to try to access your other accounts. Sometimes password databases or websites get compromised. Your passphrase should only be used for a single purpose, and especially should not be used for more than one online account. Other great uses are the passphrase for an encryption key (like your PGP or SSH key), or, especially, for unlocking a password safe or password manager application. The large number of possibilities makes it much harder for someone to crack even if they get ahold of your device and use encryption-cracking hardware. Your passphrase is especially suitable when directly used to encrypt information, like for full-disk encryption on your laptop or mobile device. This is not necessarily true for an online account, where the speed and quantity of guesses will be limited, but it could be true in other cases (for instance, if someone gets ahold of your device and is trying to crack its encryption password). That means short passwords of any kind, even totally random ones like nQ\m=8*x or !s7e&nUY or gaG5^bG, may be too weak, especially for settings where an attacker is able to quickly try an unlimited number of guesses. While the EFF random number generators are not casino-grade dice, we believe that they are sufficiently random for these purposes.Ĭomputers are now fast enough to quickly guess passwords shorter than ten or so characters - and sometimes quite a few more. Passphrases made of randomly-chosen words can be both easy to remember and hard for someone else to guess, which is what we want out of a passphrase. The increased length can allow for a greater number of possibilities overall, even if you use a passphrase made of random words to help you remember it. The word "passphrase" is used to convey the idea that a password, which is a single word, is far too short to protect you and that using a longer phrase is much better. ![]() With so many possibilities, this passphrase will be very hard to guess by brute force. This passphrase is one of 221073919720733357899776 (or about 2⁷⁷) alternatives that could have been chosen by this method. The panoramic view, as I tasted the nectar of a precut granny smith apple and banana, deserved a handclap. It might be a story, scenario, or sentence that you will be able to remember and that can remind you of the particular words you chose, in order. Step 6: Come up with your own mnemonic to remember your phrase. Panoramic nectar precut smith banana handclap When you are done, your passphrase may look something like this: Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 five more times to come up with a total of SIX words. Step 4: You will find the word "panoramic." This is the first word in your passphrase, so write it down. Step 3: Open EFF's Long Wordlist to find the corresponding word next to 43463. Step 2: Your results might look like this reading left to right: 4, 3, 4, 6, 3. ![]() (On our dice, the EFF logo is equivalent to rolling a one.)

Implementation of this method is also self-explanatory. Our next method is getRandomInteger(int maximum, int minimum), which returns a random integer between a given range. That's why that little bracket is very important. Now if you multiply zero by any other number, you will get zero again. Since random() method always returns a value between 0 and 1, casting into an int will always produce a zero. If you remove the braces between Math.random()*max, you will always end up zero because Java will first cast the double value returned by random() method to int and then multiply it to a max. ![]() It's a straightforward code, but the tricky thing is type casting into the int. return (int) (Math.random()*max) //incorrect always return zero return ( int) ( Math. Our method getRandom(int max) returns a random value between 0 and a given number exclusive. In this program, we will learn how to generate a random number between 1 to 100, between 1000 to 9999 or any arbitrary minimum and maximum values. You can still calculate random number between 1 to 10 or between any number by using Math.random() method. If you are using Math.random() function and wondering that it can only return a random number between 0.0 and 1.0, you are wrong. ![]() How to generate Random numbers between 1 and 10 in Java If you are interested in learning more about ThreadLocalRandom and SecureRandom classes then I suggest reading Java Performance The Definitive Guide By Scott Oaks, he has covered them in good detail in a separate section. If security is your concern then you have another option in terms of SecureRandom, which provides a cryptographically strong random number generator. In a scalable environment, ThreadLocalRandom can improve performance significantly as it keeps the instance of a random number generator in a ThreadLocal variable to reduce contention. To solve this problem, JDK 1.7 introduces ThreadLocalRandom class, which allows each thread to keep its own pseudo-random number to reduce contention. Since Math.random() method is properly synchronized to ensure the correct value is returned when used by multiple threads, it also becomes a bottleneck when multiple threads simultaneously use it. you need random numbers between a range or multiple threads needs to generate random numbers simultaneously, then you should look other random solution available in Java.
