Some useful UIViewController properties

The correct way to use a view controller is to to build a view objects as sub-views of the view controller. If the view controller’s view is linked to an .xib file, we use viewDidLoad to do additional work after the .xib is done loading. Otherwise we should use loadView.

Excerpt:

It is fascinating to watch what China is up to, too. The People’s Republic sold down its holdings of US treasuries by $US32 billion in December – it owns, ominously, some 7 per cent of America’s debt.

And besides producing 360 tonnes of gold internally last year it imported another 428 tonnes – well up on the 119 tonnes imported in 2010.

Copper imports were up 48 per cent, despite gross domestic product subsiding in recent months. Oil imports hit a record, too.

So China is stocking up on hard commodities and gold while easing back on US treasuries, once deemed the world’s bellwether asset. Despite our keen leverage to a Chinese boom and bust however, this shift towards hard assets suits the Lucky Country better than most.

Hope Michael is right about this.

Whenever I come across people saying “Biannual means once every two years,” I have an urge to correct them :–)

Biannual actually means twice every year. Biennial is word for “once every two years”.

It is so confusing I prefer to use semiannual instead of biannual.
