How to turn this Java into something I can use in CF?

Hi - Following on from a recent post about how to strip our special characters from a string before insertion to the db I have found this Java code - my question is, how can I turn this into something I can use with CF? I think I need to use the cfscipt tag but that's right on the boundaries of my knowledge base.. If anyone could please help I'd be ever so grateful - thank you!

Although actually I also ended up changing my charset of my tables to utf8 (it was latin_swedish) and that seems to have solved the head issue (with special characters (bullet points i think it was) throwing an error when inserting them in the db)

I have two rotating arrows at the top of my screen next to the 3G symbol. Does anyone know how to turn this off b/c it is using all of my battery life? This started after the iOS 5 update.

I have two rotating arrows at the top of my screen next to the 3G symbol. This happened after the iOS 5 update. Does anyone know what it is and how I get it off, it is draining my battery?

At first read, I also thought it sounded a bit snide. Who here has read the entire manual before going to the web for a quick search? (Not me, and in fact, I found my answer - to this very question, by reading this post WAY faster than if I had read the manual. What is so wrong with that?)
That is the beauty of having support forums. If it is a bother to answer, without being snide, one is not obligated to do so. And my apologies if he was not being snide... but there maybe a better way to point out the manual, such as "I have included a link to the searchable manual which may be of assistance to you next time you are puzzled by your iPhone's behaviour".
Just my 2¢.

Need to turn this PLSQL into a procedure

Hi All,
I have the following PLSQL which declares a cursor, then loops using the cursor variable. I'm new to creating procedures and packages and i'm having trouble turning this PLSQL into one of those. When i put my PLSQL code in a procedure it doesn't like the DECLARE statement or the CURSOR section. I'm not sure how to tweak it to get the syntax correct for a procedure. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Here is the PLSQL:
DECLARE
/* Output variables to hold the result of the query: */
groupid assignment_group.id%TYPE;
/* Cursor declaration: */
CURSOR Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor IS
select distinct id from assignment_group;
BEGIN
OPEN Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor;
LOOP
/* Retrieve each row of the result of the above query into PL/SQL variables: */
FETCH Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor INTO groupid;
/* If there are no more rows to fetch, exit the loop: */
EXIT WHEN Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor%NOTFOUND;
/* Insert the the new rows */
insert into ASSET_RANK_GROUPED (asset_id , dt, rank, score, ASSIGNMENT_GROUP_ID)
select asset_id, max_dt, rownum, score, groupid from (
SELECT <big nasty select statement>
END LOOP;
/* Free cursor used by the query. */
CLOSE Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor;
END;
How do i change my DECLARE and CURSOR statement so the procedure will create. Do i need to break it out into a function?

I figured it out... just had to play w/ the syntax. Had to make sure the BEGIN statement was AFTER the CURSOR declaration and had to make sure any variables are declared up top, didn't need a DECLARE section in procedure. I just put the groupid variable right after IS at the top of procedure creation statement.

How to turn a silhouette into an outline?

I need to create a line drawing of the outline of a chair. I tried following the various Illustrator tutorials to take the image of a chair and create a silhouette. However, I can't figure out how to take this silhouette and get just the outline of it. The Illustrator Image Trace tool doesn't seem to have an option to just save the outline.
Is there an easy way in Illustrator or Photoshop to turn this silhouette into an outline image that I can save as a file? I will print the outline in a very light opacity so that the lines are barely visible for hand rendering. I don't want to use the pen tool to outline the silhouette because my hand is too shaky to do a good job.
THank you for any advice...

Thank you Monika and Steve for suggesting to ungroup and then use the direct selection to edit it, and to change the fill to zero and the stroke to a very thin line.
It turned out that the outline was very wavy/crooked, since image trace outlined the pixels somewhat haphazardly. So the final solution was complicated because I had to learn how to use direct select and edit anchor points to straighten out the lines.
I guess it would have been easier to use a light box and just trace the image by hand. oh well. I learned alot about Illustrator.
Thank you again for your helpfulness!

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for winsloth can.
if you have access to a PC, use iTunes there to convert the files. alternatively, you can get EasyWMA and use that app.
the files need to be unprotected in both cases.

I Have read that it is more secure to turn off Java. However I can't find it in Yosemite. In Mavricks it was under security in Safari preferences. Where is it?

It is encapsulated in the Plug-ins section of Security. Java is just a plug-in on a web browser.
If you don't have Java installed in the first place, it won't be listed in the plug-ins.
