Use the Files property of either the SPWeb or SPFolder class to return the collection of files for the site or folder. To create a new file, use one of the Add methods of SPFileCollection.
Use an indexer to return a single file from the collection. For example, assuming the collection is assigned to a variable named collFiles, use collFiles[index] in C#, or collFiles(index) in Visual Basic, where index is either the index number of the file in the collection or the display name of the file.
The following code example checks every file in the top-level folder of a specified document library for the last time that it was modified and, if the time is less than a certain value, copies the file to another document library.
Dim SiteCollection As New SPSite("http://MySiteCollection")
 Dim srcFolder As SPFolder = siteCollection.AllWebs("SourceWebSite").GetFolder("SourceDocLib")
 Dim destFiles As SPFileCollection = siteCollection.AllWebs("DestWebSite").GetFolder("DestDocLib").Files
 Dim srcFile As SPFile
 For Each srcFile In srcFolder.Files
 If srcFile.TimeLastModified < Convert.ToDateTime("12/5/2002 12:00:00 AM") Then
 Dim destURL As String = destFiles.Folder.Url + "/" + srcFile.Name
 Dim binFile As Byte() = srcFile.OpenBinary()
 destFiles.Add(destURL, binFile, True)
 End If
 Next srcFile
End Try

1. Principles of operation
The CI-V interface is in use since many years, at least since the 1980s. It uses a single wire as an open collector line to connect two rigs or a rig to a computer. By using an open collector line it is possible that many rigs share a single wire. The number of rigs on a line is not limited in principle, but by the "fan-out" (the driving power) of the units. Icom recommends max. 4 units on a single line. No specifications are made for max. length of the wire, but some tests showed that several meters will work fine. You should use shielded cable in any circumstances.
Icom CI-V Principle Picture 1: Connect two rigs with nothing more than a two wire cable
By connecting two (or more) rigs you get the ability to sync the rigs by frequency and mode. So, tuning one rig always sets the other rig to the same frequency and vice versa. This can be useful for special setups in contests, where you want to receive a single frequency on multiple rigs with different antennas at the same time.
Probably more useful is the connection to a computer:
Icom CI-V Principle Picture 2: Connecting a rig to a computer
To connect to the RS-232 serial interface of a computer, a level converter is needed which converts the TTL (5V) level of the CI-V interface to the RS-232 level of the PC. Usually a CI-V converter has more than one connection to a rig (typically four).
This setup allows to remote control the rig with some software on the computer, depending on what the rig and the software supports. If more than one rig is connected to the converter, syncing between the two rigs is still possible. The converter acts as a hub, i.e. the incoming data is sent to all ports (CI-V and RS-232). Some converter designs allow to switch on and off the ports individually.
Due to the single-wire bus design, collisions can occur when two rigs (or a rig and the computer) transmit data at the same time. The protocol offers some limited means to detect and handle collsions.
The CI-V protocol uses single-byte adresses to adress individual rigs on the line. Each model has it's own default adress. If two or more rigs of the same model are connected to the bus, the adresses have to be changed so that each rig has an individual adress.
What is CI-V Transceive?
All Icom rigs equipped with CI-V offers the option of enabling/disabling CI-V transceive. What is this?
With CI-V Transceive set to on, two things happen:
With CI-V Transceive set to off, the behaviour changes:
So in most circumstances you will have CI-V Transceive set to on, at least as long as there is only one rig connected to a PC. If more than one rig is connected over the same interface (converter) to a PC, it might be useful to turn this option off in all but one rig.
Please note that some logging programs require you to turn off the CI-V Transceive function, check the documentation of the software.
Baudrate, serial data format, physical connector
The default baudrate used to be 1200 bps, but most rigs allow for higher speed. Up to 19.200 bps is possible, try to use the highest possible speed. Many newer rigs have an auto option for speed detection, make sure to set all rigs to auto or the same speed, set the PC to the same speed or 19.200 if auto is selected on the rig.
The serial data format is 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
The CI-V connector is a 3.5mm mono phone plug. Shield is ground, tip is signal. You can use a stereo plug equally well, just connect the ring to ground or leave it open.
Rigs with CI-V and serial ports
Some Icom rigs offer both, a CI-V connector and a RS-232 (aka V.24) port, for example the IC-R75, IC-R8500 and IC-7800. You can use either or both simultaneously. Protocol-wise the interfaces are identical, i.e. they talk the same language. Just that you don't need a level converter for rigs equipped with a RS-232 port. In fact, you can even use these rigs as level converters. What goes into one port (CI-V or RS-232) comes out to the other and vice versa. So if you have one of these rigs with RS-232 and another Icom rig only with CI-V, you don't need another level converter...

A choice of convenience, the Justice and Police Museum fondly reminded me of the former Supreme Court in Singapore. I later learnt that the Justice and Police Museum is the site of the original settlement of convicts during the earlier days when the first European settlement started in Australia, Sydney.
At this museum, visitors learn about some of the most spectacular crimes that had happened in Sydney. There were exhibits consisting weapons used by law-enforcers. Strangely, there were relics from notorious crimes put on display at the museum. With all these fear inducing weapons and relics, I thought it would take a fair level of guts to visit this museum.
Again, the See Sydney Attractions Pass came in useful.
Usually, it would cost AUS$8 per adult for entry into the Justice and Police Museum. With the See Sydney Attractions Pass, entry is free!
|Heading to the cells.|
I came across exhibits of the Hangman's Noose and hoods that were used in the early 20th century. The quotation that was printed on the walls were thought provoking.
"...one is absolutely sickened not by, the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments the good have inflicted." - Oscar Wilde (From the Soul of Man under Socialism.)
The section on the Aboriginal customary law caught my eye but given that I had wanted to get myself lunch before catching a cruise that afternoon, I hardly had enough time to enjoy much of the museum. I had been there, but I felt I did not know enough about the history of crimes and laws in Sydney as I had spent only close to an hour at this museum. If you are visiting this museum, please set aside at least two hours to better appreciate some of the exhibits.

A professional landscape Melbourne company may even come to your home and install a drainage system on your property, as well as the necessary equipment needed to keep a lawn free of debris and other objects that could harm the grass. These professionals may also know about various types of fertilizers and weed killers that can be used to keep grass in good condition. on your property. In addition to helping your lawn look better, these types of professionals can even help to repair any damage that may have occurred to it over the years.
Landscape Melbourne – Basic Principles Of Landscape Design
Many professional landscapers come equipped with all the tools and supplies needed for their clients to work on their projects. These supplies include tools such as spades, hoes, spades, spading machines, rakes, spades, shovels, trowels and much more. They may also provide you with soil to use for your garden or plant trees in the space.
Another thing that landscapers typically offer clients is the expertise and knowledge of how plants and trees interact in your surroundings. They will be able to identify how plants will grow best in the area where you plan to put them, and how they should complement each other. This knowledge can often help you improve the look of your garden without the use of chemicals.

Like many of you, we have a Christmas tree here decorated with candy canes with a cute little coal train running around the base. The smell of pine is terrific and we are looking forward to eating the candy canes after the holidays. We are all planning a great holiday season and we are looking forward to a bright future. We hope you and your family share our optimism during this fun time of the year.
Today, we will turn out attention to the state of affairs for the tree and the candy canes, and we searched the literature for any updates on how pine trees and sugar cane will fare in a world of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Given that the literature contains literally thousands of articles on the positive effects of elevated CO2 on plants, we were optimistic that recent material could be found. Of course, three articles were located within minutes dealing with elevated CO2, pine trees, and sugarcane.
A team of scientists associated with the University of Florida state that "Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L. cv. CP73-1547) was grown in Gainesville, Florida (29°38'N and 82°22'W) under field-like conditions for sunlight in paired-companion, temperature-gradient greenhouses." Some of the greenhouses had ambient atmospheric CO2 concentrations near 360 ppm while other greenhouses had atmospheric CO2 maintained at 720 ppm. At final harvest, the leaf area of the ambient CO2 plants was found to be 34.1 square decimeters per plant, but for the double-CO2 plants, leaf area was 44.5 square decimeters per plant. The elevated CO2 increased the leaf area by over 30 percent! Similarly, leaf fresh weight increased from 165.0 grams per plant to 187.0 grams per plant (a 13% increase). The stem fresh weight increased from 437.3 grams per plant to 680.3 grams per plant (a 56% increase). The above ground mass of the plant increased from 602.0 grams per plant to 867.0 grams per plant (a 44% increase). The all important juice from the main stem increased from 95.0 cubic centimeters to 174.3 cubic centimeters (a whopping 83% increase) all due to the doubling of atmospheric CO2.
Can the news for the sugar canes get any better? Yes, for Vu et al. report "Elevated-CO2 plants also had up to 51% lower stomatal conductance and 39% less transpiration, which resulted in 26–52% greater water-use efficiency (WUE) than ambient-CO2 plants, during leaf growth and development." In the final sentence of the abstract they conclude that beneficial changes in the biochemistry of the plants "together with a reduction in leaf stomatal conductance and transpiration and an improvement in leaf WUE and plant water status, could lead to an enhancement in leaf area, plant biomass accumulation and sucrose production for the CO2-enriched sugarcane plants." Basically, thanks to elevated CO2, the sugarcane plants were bigger, they increase sucrose production, and they did so while becoming more water use efficient. We asked the candy canes what they thought of this article, and they said "Sweet!"
Hundred of articles have already shown that pine trees will grow larger, more resistant to drought and other stresses, and more water-use efficient thanks to elevated atmospheric CO2, so we looked around for some other theme, and we found it! Shannon LaDeau and James Clark of Duke University examined results from a 13-year old loblolly pine plantation in the Duke Forest of North Carolina. In August of 1996, equipment was installed in the forest to elevate atmosphere CO2 by 200 ppm for selected groups of trees while other trees continued to grow at ambient atmospheric CO2 levels. In the first of two papers, LaDeau and Clark focused on tree fecundity (ability to reproduce) in terms of cone and seed production. In their own words, they report "Trees in the elevated CO2 plots produced twice as many cones (4063 cones observed) between 1998 and 2004 as trees in the ambient plots (2070 cones) for 262 and 295 sample trees, respectively." Furthermore, "Fecundity was higher in the elevated plots compared with ambient plots in the early years and remained relatively consistent throughout the study". They conclude "We found that trees growing under elevated CO2 matured earlier and produced more seeds and cones per unit basal area than ambient grown trees."
In a second paper, the duo turned their attention to pollen production from these same loblolly pine trees. They report "We find that P. taeda stands grown at high CO2 produce more pollen per unit woody basal area than ambient-grown trees. Trees fumigated with CO2 began producing pollen at younger ages and smaller sizes; thus evenly aged stands had larger proportions of trees contributing pollen under elevated CO2." Finally, they note that the "earlier onset of reproductive maturation means increased numbers of pollen-producing trees in high-CO2 plots and greater pollen production at the stand level." And before any of you pollen Scrooge's play the human health card, LaDeau and Clark point out that "Pine pollen is not a dangerous allergen for the public at large."
There is no doubt that 2007 will produce many more articles on the biological benefits of elevated CO2 and no end of articles in the literature with results inconsistent with more popular presentations of the global warming issue. Stay tuned here at World Climate Report, but take some time out and enjoy the holidays as much as pine trees and sugar cane enjoy elevated CO2!

Canteen Business Plan A complete Guide
It turns out that business can be done anywhere, including the business of selling food in the school canteen. Business opportunities that are promising with the target of school children who are hobby
Canteen Business Plan
Of course, opening a business in a school canteen is different from opening an ordinary food business. Foods that are sold are not only tasty but also inexpensive, making full and nutritious.
Because not a few who open a school canteen business, the food served is not healthy, so they become infected.
Besides, there must be a special trick so that food is interesting to buy. But how can I make the sale of school canteens more purchased than other snacks?
Okay start now
1. Make A Full Meal
Sometimes for school children who are given mediocre allowances but have not had breakfast, they usually prefer filling foods rather than good taste. Because sometimes good food is not filling because the size is not large.
2. Hot Food Not To Be Heated
Even though they are children, they are usually good at choosing food. They prefer foods that are still warm and avoid foods that are warmed up.
Especially if it's fried food, it must be caught from a more brown or blackened fried skin. So it's better to cook the food an hour before recess so the food sold is still warm to eat.
3. Fried Food
One of the most popular foods in the school canteen is fried food, because it is cheap and tasty and also filling.
You can sell a variety of fried foods ranging from egg rolls, fish, samosas, hush puppies, onion rings, chicken legs, french fries, resolve to chocolate bananas. This food will sell quickly even if it is sold in hot or cold weather.
4. Fried Rice
These foods are usually highly sought after by those who don't have time to eat breakfast. But the price is indeed more expensive than if you buy other foods especially if added to side dishes such as tempeh, egg, and chicken.
Even so, this food is a shame if it is not sold in your canteen because it is one of the foods that are sought at rest and before entering class.
If you want to sell this, you don't need to bother bringing frying pans and stoves to the school canteen, just wrap them in the plastic paper that you have prepared from home.
But if the school canteen is qualified to accommodate frying pans and stoves it would not hurt if you bring both of this equipment to school. Because your fried rice or noodles are more delicious because they are served warm.
5. Uduk Rice
Although they are both rice, uduk rice has its own taste so there are its own connoisseurs. But this rice is cheaper than fried rice or fried noodles.
But this rice is more unpleasant if eaten at rest because it is better eaten before going to class or in the morning for breakfast.
6. Siomay
For those who are hungry but do not want to eat rice, usually, school children choose to eat dumplings.
Because in addition to filling this food also tastes good and the price is not too expensive, enough for middle-aged school children.
7. Seblak Meatballs
Food made from crackers that are boiled and given spicy seasoning is indeed a trend, especially in the school canteen.
The price is not too high. Usually, seblak can be sold with a variety of flavors, ranging from original, seblak meatballs, seblak claw, seblak chicken to a mix seblak.
8. Sosis Bakar
Foods made from ground beef is pretty much looking for it. Like eating dumplings eating enough roasted societies makes the stomach full.
You can sell grilled sausages with a variety of flavors that can be original, cheese, spicy, Balado, and others. Usually, to sell this, you need Teflon to bake so that the leftover roasting smoke does not disturb the school.
9. Cimol, Cilok, Cilor
These three foods made from ACI are in demand if sold in the school canteen. Because it's cheap, tasty and can get in large quantities.
This food is very profitable if sold in the canteen because of its simple ingredients, tapioca can develop when cooked.
10. Steamed Cake
The steamed cake is also a sought after food because it is filling. It can be a food replacement for rice for those who have not had breakfast. If you can't make it, you can buy it at the market or order it in a cake shop.
11. Pizza Mini
This tasty, oily, and cheap food also looks for it a lot. Because these foods are filling and tasty when making snacks. You can make it yourself at home by using Teflon which is then topped with sausages or meatballs, sauce and also vegetables.
12. Pudding
Children certainly like jelly, so lozenges are also many who are looking for it. You can also make yourself at home.
Besides this food is most easily made if you want variety you can add milk. Usually their children like chocolate pudding, strawberry, and other fruit flavors.
13. Kue Toys
This food is good for snacks, because of crunches but to make it requires skill because they have to make it thinner to crispy faster. Because if it's not thin then it's like Martabak isn't crackers.
14. Random Food
Not a few students who are not accustomed to eating rice for breakfast. Now you can open a bakery business at school. Because bread is usually used as an alternative food for rice.
The bread you sell can be sandwiches, packaged bread, or toast. And most of the best-selling is indeed a thousand bread. Because the bread is not bad in a schoolgirl's bag and certainly filling.
15. Crispy Chicken
Not a few children like crispy chicken, because it is tasty and tasty. Although not branded, but children will usually still be looking for.
You can open this business opportunity in the school canteen. How to make it is also not too difficult especially now that instant flour is available to make crispy chicken. Usually, if you sell this package with rice, sauce, and drinks.
16. Meatballs
Not only employee canteens or meatball stalls, but school canteens also need to be served meatballs.
Because food made from ground meat is indeed a favorite food among ages, including students. Usually, students order meatballs when lunchtime arrives.
17. Mie Ayam
In the school canteen, chicken noodles become a filling meal when the break comes. Usually, chicken noodles will be ordered for children who are lazy to eat rice.
And usually, students like to get confused between eating chicken noodles or meatballs. So like to order some meatballs to pour into chicken noodles.
18. Indomie
Not to forget Indomie became a mainstay food in the school canteen. Become a mainstay because this food is not boring. Both fried and boiled.
This food is also suitable for breakfast and lunch. And even though it already contains high carbohydrates, Indomie is still eaten with rice.
19. Soto
For those who want to eat soup, soup is usually the mainstay of school children. The price is not as expensive as meatballs so they usually make soup for lunch.
Soto which is commonly available is usually chicken soup, meat soup, and soup noodles.
20. Donat
The bread that is perforated in the middle is a favorite food because it is filling and cheap. Moreover, the topping varies.
There is refined sugar, chocolate, peanut butter to strawberries. It is suitable for breakfast and the price is not expensive.
21. Burger Mini
Usually, this food will be bought when you come home from school. Waiting for pickup.
This food should be served in the school canteen because in addition to practical mini burgers are also nutritious because it is coated with cheese, beef, and vegetables.
22. Ice Candles
Ice lolly is a favorite drink for elementary school children. Usually what they like is green bean ice wax, chocolate milk ice wax, fruit syrup ice wax.
Apart from its good taste, the ice is also very fresh if taken during the afternoon after exercise.
23. Ice Cream
Although the price is more expensive than ice lolly, ice cream has its own idol. Usually, mothers are happier if their children eat ice cream compared to buying other ice.
Because ice cream is more nutritious. And ice cream is also referred to as a substitute for milk for those who do not like milk can buy ice cream.
24. Fruit Ice/Fruit Juice
Well, fruit ice or fruit juice can also be said to be a mainstay after a heavy meal such as chicken noodles, meatballs, dumplings, and rice. Fruit juice is usually more expensive. If you want to sell fruit juice or fruit ice, it's better at the middle school or high school canteen where the allowance is bigger.
25. Es Dawet
Dawet ice becomes very reliable when it's hot, especially after exercising. Surely a lot of children are looking for him. Dawet ice can also be a companion drink after lunch.
26. Iced Tea
This drink is a mainstay for every food. Usually can be made alone or with bottled tea. Iced tea itself there are tasteless and some sweet depending on the order. And of course, the price will be different.
27. Tofu
Tofu is now a contemporary food. It can be used as a snack can also be used as a food booster hungry stomach. But it's not

Garmin MSC 10 installed and testing underway
Garmin announced the MSC 10 satellite compass just as I finished my review of their GPS 24xd GNSS and heading sensor. So, I'm anxious to test the MSC 10 and see how it performs, how it compares to the GPS 24xd, and how it stacks up against other manufacturers' satellite compasses.
Satellite compasses offer stable, high-precision heading data with multiple GNSS receivers. Vessel heading is computed by comparing the position data received from two receivers. Satellite compasses aren't susceptible to magnetic interference like traditional magnetic heading sensors. Although, the MSC 10 includes a magnetic heading sensor to backup the satellite receivers in the event of a loss of satellite reception. I've done a lot of digging, and I can't find another satellite compass with a magnetic heading sensor. All the satellite compasses I've seen recently include attitude reference heading systems (AHRS) that provide pitch and heave data to make the heading measurements as precise as possible.
Precise heading and heave data provided by satellite compasses allow displays to correct for the boat's movement. So, instead of showing the bottom get closer and further as the boat heaves in heavy seas, sonar displays can correct for vessel heave and display steady depth data. With accurate heading data, radar displays — especially radar trails — can be corrected for the boat's heading variations as the boat moves around in a seaway.
The $1,100 Garmin MSC 10 uses two GNSS receivers to compute heading and position data. Furuno's SCX20 and NMEA 0183 sibling SCX21 (written up by Ben E. after our demo ride) have four receivers and can use six different pairings of antennas to ensure accuracy and interference rejection. Satellite compasses can be prone to multipath interference — when the signal from a GNSS satellite to the antenna on the boat is either blocked or reflected off other objects on the boat — and Furuno's use of four receivers and interference guards around the sensors seems to greatly reduce interference. I'm hoping to get my hands on an SCX20 and compare the performance of the two units.
I am paying more attention to what's included in the box with marine electronics. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Garmin includes not only mounting hardware and NMEA 2000 components but also a tube of 3M 4200 to seal any penetrations if you mount the compass on a flat surface.
Installing the MSC 10 on Panbo(at) couldn't have been much easier. It comes with a 1-inch 14 antenna mount or you can mount it directly to a flat surface. The MSC 10 has a built-in magnetic compass that can provide heading data when GNSS signals are unavailable. But, to take advantage of this, you will need to mount the compass in a magnetically safe location. Because it met all the requirements for a mounting location, I mounted it to the same antenna ratchet I'd previously used for the GPS 24xd. The compass has a single NMEA 2000 port on the bottom so all that's required is connecting one NMEA 2000 drop cable, which Garmin nicely includes.
Once the MSC 10 is installed and connected to the network, it starts working without any calibration. If you plan to use the magnetic compass, Garmin recommends calibrating it. Calibration is similar to the GPS 24xd's: one and a half slow circles and then 45 seconds of straight cruising to calibrate and align the compass.
In another similarity to the GPS 24xd, the MSC 10 uses a dual-band, L1 and L5, GPS receiver that allows for greater location precision. The two GNSS sensor Garmin MSC 10's heading measurements are accurate to 2 degrees RMS. By comparison, Furuno's SCX20 offers 1-degree precision. But, Garmin reports position accuracy of 1-meter while Furuno lists maximum accuracy of 3-meters. I believe the dual-band GPS receiver allows Garmin to deliver greater positioning precision.
While comparing the MSC 10 to other GPS receivers I noticed that both the Furuno SCX20 and the Simrad HS60 output NMEA 2000 PGN 127251 – Rate of Turn, but the MSC 10 doesn't. I'm not sure if this will impact the MSC 10's performance in any of its applications, but I also found that Garmin's 9-axis heading sensor does output 127251.
Although it's early in my testing I have seen steady and predictable heading data produced by the MSC 10. Calibration was easy and I'm a fan of the inclusion of a magnetic sensor to back up the satellite receivers.

Newport Representatives Review Plant's Status
by Allen Chatt '07
January 20, 2005
In the modern world of terrorist fears and weapons of mass destruction few college students may realize one of the nation's largest stockpiles of the VX nerve agent is kept down the road in Newport, Ind. The 7,000-acre facility that houses the storage and disposal site is a closed and guarded facility that can be scary and comforting.
Wabash's Women on Campus Committee hosted two representatives Jan. 19 of the Newport Chemical Agent Disposal Facility to discuss the facility and its storage and planned disposal of the VX Nerve Agent.
The Newport Chemical Weapons Depot was opened in 1941 as the Wabash River Ordinance Works to produce a variety of explosive munitions. In 1958 it was dedicated to the production of the VX nerve agent.
After the construction of the VX production facility was completed in 1961, the agent was produced until 1969 when a moratorium was placed on the production of the agent and its shipment across state lines. The final two batches of the agent, consisting of a couple million gallons of the agent, produced have been stored at the site since.
In 1997, the United States ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention. The international treaty called for the disposal of the US stockpiles of Mustard gas and the Sarin and VX nerve agents, and the procedures for the destruction of the various agents was undertaken at the stockpile sites. At the Newport site, the construction of the Chemical Agent Disposal facility was begun in 2000 and completed in 2003.
"The VX agent is tightly guarded and each drop is accounted for," Dr. Debbie Lander said, a chemist working at the Newport facility. "There's an enormous amount of paperwork covering everything." The agent is stored as a viscous liquid in ton containers made with four inch thick walls of steel in hardened "igloos" made of concrete and steel.
The handling of the containers and safety are well practiced as the staff has undergone some 120,000 training hours with 13,000 hours dedicated to drill and exercise programs preparing for emergency response.
"Its always a relief when people learn its not a nerve gas that can spread so easily, and realize the amount of training the people working with it have to prevent accidents," Susan Gilman said. "The main purpose of the outreach office is to serve as a link between the Army and the community to help dispel the myths and rumors the public has about the facility, since it is a closed facility." Gilman, the director of the outreach office at the Newport facility, discussed many of the myths related to the agent and the construction of the disposal facility.
"Awareness is important," Lander said. "Awareness is what we're looking for because the public doesn't fully understand the neutralization process the agent undergoes and all the safety procedures in place." Lander participated in the presentation explaining some of the more technical aspects of the neutralization process and the chemical structure of VX.
The neutralization of the chemical agent is done by mixing the agent with water and Sodium hydroxide in an 8 percent agent to neutralizer ratio in the neutralization reactor.
Once the process has happened, the VX agent ceases to be and is left in a variety of chemical parts, the most dangerous of which is the remaining waste water, which is to be shipped to Maryland for further neutralization at facilities there. The disposal of the Nerve Agent itself is at a standstill for the moment as politics have halted the move forward, but disposal of the existing stock pile is expected to get underway in the early part of this year.
"I suggested to the Women on Campus Committee that we invite Newport after John Culley heard a presentation at Crawfordsville Kiwanis and said that it was very interesting," Terri Fyffe, a member of the committee, said. "I had read some articles in the newspaper about the facility and was concerned that such hazardous agents were stored so close to our homes in such times as we live."
"Having heard the presentation, I feel more at ease that the facility is safe and not a hazard to those of us living in West Central Indiana," Fyffe said. "The precautions taken seem pretty good, and the containers the VX is stored in along with the 'igloos' they built makes for much better security."
The Women on Campus meets the third Wednesday of each month to discuss issues ranging from public interest issues like the Newport facility, Identity theft and events and projects in the Crawfordsville community. The participants are generally the women working on campus or connected to the campus, with some of their programs open to the public.
Chatt is a Wabash College sophomore who writes for the Bachelor, the College's student newspaper.

Mobile sensing is an objective continuous behavioral health measurement methodology used in behavioral health research. This methodology uses sensors in digital devices like smartphones to collect and measure information related to mental well-being.
EARS, Ksana Health's Effortless Assessment Research System, provides a convenient turnkey behavioral sensing system of continuous behavioral health measurement to behavioral health researchers.
Continuous objective data collection from EARS provides greater data volume and richness than intermittent or periodic subjective data collection methods. EARS allows for remote data collection that can be easily and efficiently scaled for a large number of study participants. If subjective ecological momentary assessments are part of the study design, questions can be easily configured to be sent to the study participant in a variety of ways.
The ability to collect continuous objective measurements from smartphone sensors can reveal more than self-reporting alone. This objective measurement can be provided alongside of subjective measures like participant self-reported responses.1 Continuous behavioral health measurement through EARS opens up new behavioral health study design possibilities.
Data collected through continuous objective measurement with EARS is passive and automatic. Study participants use their smartphone as they normally would with minimal need for input. This lowered use burden can result in fewer study participant drop-outs.2
Continuous behavioral health measurement through EARS is passive and remote, which reduces potential bias which may come from researcher interaction with participants and participant lapses in self-reporting. This can contribute to more accurate research results.
Getting important research funded involves a variety of factors. Novel methodologies enhance research design and makes research more attractive to funders. Continuous behavioral health measurement, with its passive, objective, and remote characteristics, provides a grant application with important differentiating features that can be attractive to funding institutions.
Mobile sensing has been used in research for many years. It is made possible by digital, cloud, and sensor technologies. EARS, in particular, has over been used in over seven years of rigorous NIH-funded research.
EARS provides benefits to behavioral health researchers that improve grant proposals, study designs, and study operations. If you are interested in EARS, please contact us to schedule a demo.

The results of calculations performed in the framework of the approximate approach developed by the authors are presented for the diffraction of sound waves by a stiff spheroid in an acoustic waveguide. The scattered sound field is analyzed as a function of the following parameters of the problem: the spheroid dimensions, its position relative to the sound source and the receiver, the vertical profile of sound velocity in the waveguide, and the acoustic parameters of the waveguide bottom.


text: The Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship in several maritime legends, was a sign of bad luck, particularly for sailors. In most versions, the ship appeared off the Cape of Good Hope, the southern tip of Africa. The legend was inspired by the story of a Dutch sea captain named Vanderdecken who boasted that he could complete the journey around the cape during a fierce storm. He swore that he would do so or keep trying forever. As punishment for his rashness, he was condemned to sail around the cape until the end of time. A similar version of the legend involves another captain who was forced to sail across the ocean forever because he had sold his soul to the devil. In 1843 the composer Richard Wagner wrote art opera based on the tale of the Flying Dutchman, which spread the story's popularity.

Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
Airspace, Bridges and Waterway Restrictions in Effect for All Space Shuttle Launches
For the STS-114 launch of Space Shuttle Discovery, NASA managers urge all aircraft pilots and boaters to comply fully with the airspace, bridges and waterway restrictions imposed around KSC prior to and during Space Shuttle launches and landings.
"As always, we are coordinating with officials from the Eastern Range and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to help provide a safe launch environment for the Shuttle crew and for interested spectators. Violating these restrictions is not only unsafe for the astronauts and support crews, it's unsafe for the violator," said KSC Launch Director Mike Leinbach.
Space Shuttle Discovery's first launch opportunity is on July 13 at 3:51 p.m. and the launch window extends for five minutes. At NASA's request, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard surveillance aircraft will patrol KSC's airspace boundaries on launch day. Violators will be intercepted by patrol forces, thoroughly investigated and will be subject to FAA enforcement action. A number of restrictions remain in effect around the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) during the hours immediately following the launch of a Space Shuttle.
Listed and described below are restrictions that apply to pilots, motor vehicle operators and boaters utilizing airspace, bridges and waterways that lead to KSC. KSC AREA AVIATION RESTRICTIONS
For the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-114, all restricted areas surrounding the Kennedy Space Center will be active and the area covered by flight restrictions has once again been expanded for this launch. The length of time the restrictions will be in effect prior to launch has also been extended.
Due to international terrorist activities, heightened security is essential to protect the Space Shuttle as a national asset. An inadvertent unauthorized incursion into the area of the Cape Canaveral Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) could cause a scrub in the launch of Discovery, the activation of airspace defenses and an FAA enforcement action. Local pilots are asked to help NASA by respecting these temporary but necessary restrictions so that the launch can occur on time and without incident.
The restricted areas for the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station are in effect on a continuous basis and are limited to official aircraft only, off-limits to general aviation pilots. The restricted air space extends from the surface to but not including 14,000 feet and covers the area bounded by the Indian River to the west, Port Canaveral to the south, the city of Oak Hill to the north, and three miles over the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
On launch day these restricted areas will be expanded and will be activated beginning at launch minus 9 hours. On Wednesday, July 13 this occurs at 6:35 a.m. EDT and remains in effect until 6:59 p.m. EDT. Should the launch be scrubbed after the astronauts have boarded Space Shuttle Discovery, the restrictions will remain in effect for three hours after the postponement has been announced.
FAA Part 91, Part 125, general aviation and VFR operations are prohibited within a 30 nautical mile radius of Launch Pad 39-B from the surface to but not including 18,000 feet (located on the Melbourne VOR/DME 004-degree radial at 30 nautical miles). Among the general aviation airports affected within this area are Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Arthur Dunn Airpark in Titusville, Merritt Island Airport in Merritt Island, Rockledge Airpark in Rockledge and Massey Ranch in Edgewater.
Within an airspace radius between 30 and 40 nautical miles of Pad 39-B, a discrete transponder code must be obtained and clearance granted from air traffic control before entering this airspace. Continuous radio communications must be maintained.
Before flight, pilots should contact the FAA Flight Service Station at 1-800/WxBrief (1-800/_PHONE_) for details of the restrictions contained in the NOTAMS. In flight, outside Orlando Class B airspace, pilots should contact Daytona Beach Approach control on 134.95. In the Melbourne area contact Daytona Approach on 132.65, or in the New Smyrna Beach area on 125.35. Flight Service can also be reached locally by radio on the Titusville RCO at 123.6 or the Melbourne RCO on 122.6. Advisories will also be available from the control tower at Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville at 118.9 megahertz.
Among the airports affected within the 30-40 nautical mile radius in which flight is permitted but under positive air traffic control are Orlando International Airport, Orlando Executive Airport, Orlando-Sanford International Airport, the New Smyrna Beach and Spruce Creek airports, Melbourne International Airport and Valkaria. Pilots are encouraged to consult the most recent FAA aeronautical chart for Orlando Class B air space. BRIDGES CONTROLLED FOR LAUNCH
The opening and closing of bridges over waterways surrounding KSC will be strictly controlled during the hours immediately before and after the launch period for each Space Shuttle mission.
Bridges affected by the launch include:
* Canaveral Harbor Barge Canal
(SR 401, south of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Gate 1);
* Indian River Causeway West or NASA Causeway
(Intracoastal Waterway at Addison Point);
* Merritt Island Barge Canal
(Merritt Island State Road 3);
* Haulover Canal Bridge
(State Road 3, north of KSC).
Restraints on bridge openings for boat traffic begin three hours before launch. The bridges may be opened for five minutes at the following points in the launch countdown: T-180 minutes, T-150 minutes, T-120 minutes, T-90 minutes, and T-65 minutes. Adding 20 minutes to these times and subtracting that amount from the launch time will result in an approximate time of openings.
Bridges will remain closed to boat traffic until 90 minutes after lift-off (T+90). They may then open for five minutes at T+90, T+120 minutes and T+150 minutes. Bridge operations will return to normal three hours (T+180 minutes) after launch.
Should the Shuttle be required to perform a Return-to-Launch-Site (RTLS) landing at KSC, all bridges would remain closed to boat traffic from 45 minutes before landing until at least one hour after landing. KSC AREA BOATING RESTRICTIONS
Waterways and boating activities near the Kennedy Space Center will be strictly controlled prior to and during the launch of the Space Shuttle.
Safety and security requirements, including U.S. Air Force range safety impact limit lines, will go into effect as early as three days before launch. Other requirements will be phased into effect through sunset the night before launch. A general description of the area follows: ATLANTIC OCEAN:
Beginning noon on Sunday, July 10 through the launch, a general exclusion zone will be in effect three miles offshore from the Haulover Canal, near the north end of KSC, and southward to Port Canaveral. Four hours prior to launch, all ocean-going traffic will be restricted from entering an area measured from nine miles north and south of the launch pad and extending 64 miles east into the ocean. An additional three-mile-wide exclusion zone will be extended eastward along the flight path of the Space Shuttle. MOSQUITO LAGOON:
This area south of the Haulover Canal in the Mosquito Lagoon is off limits to all boats beginning the day before launch. INDIAN RIVER:
Restrictions apply from the NASA Causeway north to the Haulover Canal and east of the Indian River's main channel. Restrictions begin at noon on Sunday, July 10. BANANA RIVER:
Security limits begin at the Banana River Barge Canal south of KSC at the State Road 528 crossing and extend north. This restriction is effective roughly 16 hours prior to launch.
All boating restrictions will be lifted approximately one hour after launch.
Boating interests should monitor U.S. Coast Guard Channel 16 broadcasting from Port Canaveral. The U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and KSC security forces share responsibility for enforcing the boating guidelines. ROAD CLOSURES:
Space Commerce Way which connects State Road 3 with State Road 405 (NASA Causeway) will be closed on launch day, July 13 beginning at 8 a.m. It will reopen after launch at 6 p.m. The closure is necessary due to the expected high volume of traffic on these highways.

The City operates two regional water reclamation plants located in the north and south sections of Melbourne. The David B. Lee Water Reclamation Facility is the north wastewater facility with a permitted treatment capacity of 6 million gallons per day. The south wastewater treatment facility is known as the Grant Street Water Reclamation Facility and has a permitted treatment capacity of 5.5 million gallons per day.
Both plants are designed to provide a minimum of secondary treatment. Effluent disposal is accomplished through a combination of deep well injection and reclaimed water distribution. Domestic wastewater residuals, more commonly known as sludge, are biologically and then chemically stabilized with lime. The sludge is then safe for land application. It is spread on locally available pasture land.
The David B. Lee collection system is primarily a force main system. Most of the wastewater flows by gravity from homes and businesses to lift stations. The lift stations then pump the wastewater to the treatment plant. The Grant Street collection system is largely a gravity system. Large gravity mains convey the wastewater to a master lift station located at the treatment plant.
For more information contact the Water Reclamation Division: _PHONE_.

In episode 7 of Corn College TV Season 2, Ken Ferrie explains how tillage can help manage disease pressures.
He uses a demonstration plot as an example, where the same hybrid was planted across the field, but different tillage was done in sections.
"Looking at the lower three leaves, we can see a difference in the disease pressure on the leaves," he says. "Diseases come from residue, so crop rotation does matter, but tillage maters too."

Sometimes actors choose a script out of love, sometimes out of necessity, and sometimes they write a script that is deeply personal.
REDPATCH is a stunning new play that makes its Canadian premier on the anniversary of Vimy Ridge and features the work of Raes Calvert, a local actor, producer, and writer. REDPATCH tells the story of a Métis soldier who fought for Canada in the First World War. This is a personal story and role for Raes, whose grandfather fought in WWII and in part inspired the work, as well as Raes' portrayal of the lead character.
In this Q&A, Raes gives insight into his process and the unique challenges of taking on the role, as well as being the co-writer and producer of the play.
Theatre Wire: How did you prepare to play your character?
Raes Calvert: I did many hours of research in the creation of this piece. Reading books about WWI such as All Quiet on the Western Front and Joseph Boyden's Three Day Road, and reading history books and journals from soldiers who fought in this war. I also traveled to Nootka Sound to the land of my own ancestors and where we have set the home of my main character. We met with local elders and learned some of their language and stories. All of this lends itself to a more diverse and authentic character that is rooted in truth. Which I think is what all actors should strive for.
TW: Did you come to the first rehearsal with your character fully developed, or is character development part of the rehearsal process?
RC: Things change all the time. As an actor you have to be willing to go where a director's vision is going. Even though I co-created this piece with Sean [Harris Oliver], my character's intentions and goals tend to change based on the staging and what is happening before and after every scene.
TW: How do the other actors and their characters influence your work?
RC: I feel very honoured to be able to act with the other actors in this cast. They come from all across Canada and from a diverse range of communities. I believe that actors and their characters should always be influencing my work, making offers and taking risks. It has been interesting seeing the different takes that actors who are new to the show bring to their character to make them their own.
TW: How much does the director influence your work and interpretation?
RC: A tremendous amount. It is my job as an actor to fulfill the director's vision. This is a unique experience in that I wrote this show with the director. We have worked together many times before and consistently for the past 10 years. We constantly confer with each other about script elements and how we want things to work.
TW: What are some of your most memorable past roles and productions? (Why?)
RC: I think my most memorable and longest running role is playing Max in Where the Wild Things Are with the touring production by The Presentation House Theatre. I have been lucky enough to tour this show across Canada and the United States and perform in some of the most amazing theatres that North America has to offer.
TW: What's the most misunderstood aspect of an actor's job, in your opinion?
RC: That for every one hour of paid work, I have put in 50 hours unpaid during my career. I think that a lot of people don't consider being an actor a legitimate form of work or that we are lazy or living in some sort of dream world. I feel passionate about what I do and take it very seriously.
TW: Is there anything in particular you'd like to add about this show or yourself?
RC: Sean Harris Oliver and I began the creation of REDPATCH five years ago in the hopes of telling a story that we had never seen told on stage. It is important to recognize this part of our history and specifically the contribution Aboriginal soldiers made for Canada during WWI. This play has taken years to get to where it is now and I hope that anyone interested takes the chance and comes to see this piece of theatre which is very close to my heart.
TW: Can you give us a sneak peak of what audiences will expect?
RC: A thrilling historical drama highlighting the contribution Aboriginal soldiers made for the Canadian Armed Forces during WWI. Movement to sound and music will elevate this particular production.
Raes is a Métis theatre artist from Richmond BC. He is a founder and Co-Artistic Director of Hardline Productions. He has toured nationally and internationally with such companies as Neworld Theatre, GreenTumb Theatre, Axis Theatre, Manitoba Theatre for Young People, and Presentation House Theatre. He is a two time nominee of the Jesse Richardson Theatre awards and one time recipient. Raes is a graduate of Studio 58.


Re: What is a Greek Sentence?
From: Micheal Palmer (
Date: Wed Jun 04 1997 - 01:00:54 EDT
>Can anyone provide a rigorous definition of a Koine Greek sentence
>exclusively in terms
>sentence to a clause
>in terms of syntax.
>you are looking
>indicators mark
Part One:
A hellenistic Greek sentence is a set of interrelated clauses. This set may
have only one member, or many. One or more of the member clauses may be
eliptical if the discourse context provides the necessary constituents to
complete them. A sentence which contains only one clause may also be
eliptical if the same condition is met.
Part Two:
"Interrelated" in Part One must be understood in a tightly constrained way.
The clauses must be interconnected either 1) by the use of complementizers
(such as OTI) or conjunctions (such as KAI, DE, and hINA), or 2) by some of
the member clauses taking a non-finite form (infinitives or participles) as
modifiers of, or constituents of another clause. Of course, both of these
strategies may be used in the same sentence. (Given the regular use of
asyndeton in the NT, you might also want to allow for a null conjunction,
allowing adjoining clauses with strong thematic overlap to constitute a
single sentence even if no complementizer, conjunction, or non-finite verb
form is present. This position is somewhat debateable, though. Why not just
call these 'closely related sentences' rather than trying to make them
asyndetic clauses of the same sentence?)
Well, this is a rough-and-ready definition which will almost certainly
prove inadequate in some texts, but it works for the vast majority.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, recruited characters have support conversations with other members of Byleth's house. These conversations flesh out the backstories and develop the relationships between multiple characters. Although the students have great support conversations with each other, they have equally insightful, funny, and clever support conversations with the church staff as well.
RELATED: Fire Emblem: 5 Ways Three Houses Is The Best Entry (& 5 It's Awakening)
Most of the staff are a little older than the students, so they usually have some kind of wisdom to impart. However, their lessons are not always entirely successful. The staff also learn a lot from the students, learning to pursue their dreams or finding new ways to give back to the world.
10 Seteth Motivated Hilda To Be Less Lazy
Hilda And Seteth speak about making books
At first, Hilda did whatever she could to avoid Seteth, who would always find an embarrassingly roundabout way to tell her to stop being lazy. It didn't work, so he told her a story that he wrote for Flayn, about a hardworking squirrel and a lazy fox who suffered since it didn't gather anything for the winter.
Although Hilda initially brushed off the story as something cute, she motivated Seteth to write more stories for children, while she drew pictures to accompany them. In their shared ending, these stories were extremely beloved.
9 Bernadetta Only Fled From Seteth Once
Seteth and Bernadetta discuss their book's illustrations
Although this sounds entirely unimpressive, Bernadetta only ran from Seteth one time. It was not uncommon for her to run away from people, as she had a difficult time socializing with others. Seteth seemed to know how to make her relax in later encounters, telling her stories about Saint Indech, who was similar to Bernadetta.
RELATED: Fire Emblem Three Houses: 10 Characters Who Should Be Recruited (If You Play Verdant Wind)
Saint Indech was an accomplished man, and Seteth told her that it would be possible for her to achieve great things even if she kept to herself. The two eventually got married, but Bernadetta remained a recluse, which Seteth never seemed to mind.
8 Hanneman Told Edelgard Why He Was Obsessed With Crests
Edelgard and Hanneman talk about his sister
On the surface, Hanneman appeared to like Crests. He was constantly focused on his research and got excited whenever he discovered something new. Even Edelgard was initially wary of Hanneman, and dug into his past.
Hanneman didn't seem to mind it, and confessed that his goal was to give everyone a Crest, which would have the same effect as Edelgard's goal to do away with all Crests. He was only so devoted to his research because he didn't want anyone to suffer like his sister did, who was married off in the hopes of bearing children with Crests.
7 Ferdinand Showered Manuela With The Praise She Deserved
Manuela thanks Ferdinand for his kind words
Manuela was used to having no luck with men, which was a frequent cause of her misery. When Ferdinand praised her singing skills in such a direct way, Manuela had a hard time believing the sincerity of his words.
RELATED: Fire Emblem Three Houses: 5 Characters Every Player Should Recruit (& Five That Aren't Worth It)
She believed that she was past her prime, and did not have the skills that she did years ago. However, it clearly touched her that he was so inspired by her song and sword dance, and the two were happily married right after he became a Duke.
6 Dimitri Actually Laughed At Alois' Jokes
Dimitri laughs at a bad joke
Alois told jokes that were so terrible that they were often met with groans or stony silence. However, he managed to make Dimitri laugh, which shocked everyone who saw it.
Dimitri didn't acknowledge the jokes as good, but stated that they were funny because they were so bad. Not knowing how to respond to Dimitri's laughter, the other soldiers felt like they had no choice but to awkwardly join in.
5 Mercedes Helped Alois With His Fear Of Ghosts
Alois asks Mercedes not to tell too scary of a story
Alois went to Mercedes to ask her for help, as she was known for her ghost stories. He was terrified of ghosts, and wished to hear a few of her stories to get over his fear. At the beginning, he never felt mentally prepared, and would nearly faint before the stories were even complete.
However, he got better at handling his fear thanks to her stories, despite her slightly sadistic promises to find him scarier stories each time. In their shared ending, Alois was known as a fearless knight, thanks to her help.
4 Alois Tricked Leonie Into Inheriting Jeralt's Debt
Leonie regrets becoming Jeralt's successor
Leonie would often approach Alois and ask him to tell her a story about Jeralt. She really admired Jeralt, and despite the fact that Jeralt did plenty of horrible things in the stories, her view of Jeralt never changed.
Alois buttered Leonie up until she agreed to be Jeralt's successor, leading to Alois gleefully bestowing upon her the massive debt Jeralt owed to multiple bars. Alois had been paying for it for ages, so he was more than happy to make it someone else's problem.
3 Shamir Taught Raphael How To Be More Sneaky
Raphael attempts breathing exercises
Raphael asked Shamir to teach him how to hide his presence the same way that she does. She told him that he had too much presence, and showed him a breathing exercise to help him conceal himself. He practiced what she taught him, but his breathing sounded like the ragged, desperate gasps of air of a fish above land.
He eventually managed to sneak up on her, which impressed her enough for her to take him with her on a scouting mission.
2 Ashe & Cyril Developed A Wholesome Friendship
Cyril finds Ashe after hearing he went missing
Cyril had a hard time accepting help from anyone, given that he felt that he had to work hard to earn his place at the monastery. Ashe insisted on helping him regardless, which Cyril discovered he was thankful for.
Ashe offered to be Cyril's friend, and said that they would help each other. Cyril took this to heart, and grew to care for Ashe, enough to abandon his post when he heard that Ashe had gone missing.
1 Lysithea Taught Cyril How To Read
Lysithea tells Cyril she's bappy too
Lysithea was the type who wanted to prove that she was an adult capable of taking care of herself. She insisted on helping Cyril carry a log, but naturally, she failed at such a difficult task. She later learned that Cyril never learned how to read.
She gladly helped him, and Cyril made fast progress. He even wrote her a letter to thank her, which made her happy. Lysithea and Cyril enjoyed spending time together, to the point where they eventually got married after he became a soldier.

I am stuck in a situation where I want to write Xpath dynamically in the properties file. The actual XPath is like in property File div[contains(text(),'<state Name>')]. State Name changes everytime. How can I write dynamic xpath which fetches from property file?
below is Xpath stored in properties file
data=div[contains(text(),'New Delhi')]
and below code snippet is fetching xpath in test script
String checkCity=prop.getProperty(data) ;
WebElement xpath = driver.findElement(By.xpath(prop.getProperty(locatorKey)));
3 Answers 3

You can use the String replace method.
String city = prop.getProperty("data"); // New Delhi
String locatorTemplate = prop.getProperty("locatorKey"); // div[contains(text(),'<state Name>')]
String locator = locatorTemplate.replace(locatorPattern, city); // div[contains(text(),'New Delhi')]
WebElement element = driver.findElement(locator);
locatorPattern in your case would be <state Name>.
The method syntax is as follows:
public String replace(char searchChar, char newChar)
1
You create a string
String cityName = "London";
String data = "div[contains(text(),"+ "'"+cityName +"'"+")]";
System.out.println(data);
You can put in a for loop and then use this data value as locator.
0
I'm going to skip the reading from properties file part, since you seem to have figured it out.
Let's say you have
String data = "div[contains(text(),'New Delhi')]";
You can use Java's split() method to split that string with ' as the delimiter:
a.split("'")
And then take the second element of the resulting array:
a.split("'")[1]
So
System.out.println(a.split("'")[1]);
will print out "New Delhi" to console.

Water Cats
Water cats in this context means cats that like water. Yes, some cats actively like water. That applies to some wild cat species, domestic cat breeds and many individual cats. It is simply not the case that cats hate water; that is far from the truth.
A lot of wild cats live next to water courses because prey is more abundant prey there. And a good number of domestic cats, usually wildcat hybrids like water. For example, Kathrin Stucki of A1 Savannahs says that her Savannah cats like to join family members in the shower etc. That said your typical domestic cat generally does not have much of an affinity for water.
But they rarely hate it. Three wild cat species swim in it, hunt in it and like it: the tiger, jaguar and fishing cat.
The domestic cats that come immediately to mind that like water are the Savannah and Bengal, both wildcat hybrids and, of course, the Turkish Van(known to be a good swimmer, the experts say) to name just three. The Turkish Van comes from the lake Van area of Turkey. Did it learn to swim in the lake?
Tigers often spend large parts of the day in water, half submerged, to keep cool. The tiger is a remarkably strong and competent swimmer (and all round athlete). It has been recorded swimming to islands in the Sunda Straight (between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra). This is open sea and considerable distances are travelled.
The fishing cat, as the name implies, is at home in the water and can swim for long distances in water and under water. They keep their head above water when swimming and propel themslves forward doggy paddle style. The fishing cat catches fish as well as animals on land. They are true water cats.
The jaguar is associated with water courses and streams in a wide range of habitats. They are excellent swimmers and have been recorded swimming across wide rivers. They also like to spend time in the water half submerged when it is hot.
Jaguarudis love water (ref: Hand-raising jaguarundis (puma yagouaroundi) by Buzas and Guylas FCF magazine vol 56, issue 2). Observed to love to be in water from aged 5 weeks. Played in drinking bowl. Defecated in bowl.
Apparently, there are (or were) rumors that leopards don't like water to the point of not getting their feet wet. This is incorrect as they are good swimmers and enjoy the water. They are very adaptable cats and what is called "generalists" meaning they can cope with a wide range of environments and don't mind what they eat.
The Asian leopard cat is the wild parent of the Bengal cat and I have already said that Bengal cats like water so it is no surprise that the leopard cat likes it too, even moreso. In fact, they are excellent swimmers and have an affinity for water and an ease in it (many a Bengal cat keeper will attest that). Captive leopard cats can be seen to spend a considerable amount of time playing in water.
We don't really think of a lion swimming across rivers. We normally see them on pretty arid and hot plains. Yet the lion is a capable swimmer and they have been observed swimming across large rivers.
Finally, the flat-headed cat is a fishing type cat like the fishing cat. A large part of its diet is composed of fish. The distribution of the flat-headed cat linked to water.

 1. I think Harvey Harrison will take issue over the Turkish Van claims! It turns out that cat fancy Turkish Vans don't come from the Lake Van area. I've summarised info from Harvey and other publications in the bottom thrid of the Turksih Angora story at _URL_
 The original Turkish Van swimming images were staged.

Making .NET assemblies secure for an enterprise.
Introduction
We all have worked on .NET and we know there are so many security features that are available. One among them is CAS (Code Access Security). Well, I am not going to discuss what CAS is and how it works? Here, I'll try to explain how is CAS helpful in providing security to our applications?
Description
Most of us are working and developing applications on enterprise level and the architecture that we follow is n-tier. In a typical scenario, we have a UI layer, business layer and a data layer or if we talk about design patterns then we have the MVC pattern which again talks about different layers. When we work on enterprise level it becomes necessary to secure the code libraries from the outside world. This is due to certain business rules in a business layer, or in the case of data some data rules which they don't want anyone to know. Keeping this in mind, we will implement an example of how to secure our development layers.
Let's create an assembly, Assembly1. The code for Class1.cs is given below:
using System;
using System.Security.Permissions;
namespace Assembly1
{
 public class Class1
 {
 public Class1()
 {
 //
 // TODO: Add constructor logic here
 //
 }
 public static string SayHello(string name)
 {
 return ("Hello " + name);
 }
 public static string MyData(string idTag)
 {
 return ("Did't Find " + idTag);
 }
 }
}
The code for AssemblyInfo.cs:
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyDelaySign(false)]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"..\..\..\key.snk")]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyName("")]
Now create a second assembly, Assembly2 (we will be using Assembly1 as reference):
The code for Class1.cs:
using System;
using Assembly1;
namespace Assembly2
{
 public class Class1
 {
 public Class1()
 {
 //
 // TODO: Add constructor logic here
 //
 }
 public static string GetIDValue(string idTag)
 {
 // Some validation code
 return (Assembly1.Class1.MyData(idTag));
 //return(idTag + ", how can i help you");
 }
 public static string SayHello(string name)
 {
 return(name + ", how can i help you");
 }
 }
}
The code for AssemblyInfo.cs:
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyDelaySign(false)]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"..\..\..\key1.snk")]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyName("")]
Here comes our application which is referencing Assembly1. Create a form and add a button on it. On the click of a button add the following code:
MessageBox.Show(Assembly2.Class1.SayHello("User"));
MessageBox.Show(Assembly2.Class1.GetIDValue("I001G12"));
Don't forget to add reference to Assembly2 in your Win Form application. So, in the end, the code is going to be something like this:
The code for TestAssembly - Form:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Security;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using System.Security.Policy;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
//using Assembly1;
using Assembly2;
namespace TestAssembly
{
 /// <summary>
 /// Summary description for Form1.
 /// </summary>
 public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
 {
 private System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;
 /// <summary>
 /// Required designer variable.
 /// </summary>
 private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
 public Form1()
 {
 //
 // Required for Windows Form Designer support
 //
 InitializeComponent();
 //
 // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
 //
 }
 /// <summary>
 /// Clean up any resources being used.
 /// </summary>
 protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
 {
 if( disposing )
 {
 if (components != null)
 {
 components.Dispose();
 }
 }
 base.Dispose( disposing );
 }
 #region Windows Form Designer generated code
 private void InitializeComponent()
 {
 this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
 this.SuspendLayout();
 //
 // button1
 //
 this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(112, 112);
 this.button1.Name = "button1";
 this.button1.TabIndex = 0;
 this.button1.Text = "button1";
 this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
 //
 // Form1
 //
 this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
 this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 266);
 this.Controls.Add(this.button1);
 this.Name = "Form1";
 this.Text = "Form1";
 this.ResumeLayout(false);
 }
 #endregion
 [STAThread]
 static void Main()
 {
 Application.Run(new Form1());
 }
 private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
 MessageBox.Show(Assembly2.Class1.SayHello("User"));

 MessageBox.Show(Assembly2.Class1.GetIDValue("I001G12"));
 // MessageBox.Show(Assembly1.Class1.SayHello("User"));
 // MessageBox.Show(Assembly1.Class1.MyData("I001G12"));
 }
 }
}
The code for AssemblyInfo.cs:
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Security.Permissions;
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyDelaySign(false)]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("")]
[assembly: AssemblyKeyName("")]
Once you are done try executing the application, well it will work without any issues. But now the question is: Are these assemblies secured? Just signing it with a strong name key doesn't make it secure as any one can use this assembly in his application.
Let's take a second step where we use CAS - declarative approach for securing our classes. Now add the following code above your class1 code in Assembly1:
[StrongNameIdentityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, PublicKey =
 "0024000004800000940000000602000000240000525341310004000001000100c39f40c9fccb7d"+

Compression Test
Compression/Health Test.
(Compression Tests have to be conducted at our Workshop, please don't order product, message for appointment)
One way of determining the heath of a Rotary engine is to conduct a "Compression" test. Done correctly this will give you a good indication of general condition of each Rotor's Apex, Side and Corner Seals. It will be necessary to "Normalise" results to a Crank speed of 250 rpm. It would be extremely rare for the engine to crank at that exact speed.
(The engine must be at normal operating temperature)
1. Remove the Leading spark-plug on each Rotor. (Disconnect Crank Case Sensor).
2. With the throttle wide open, crank engine to clear out any liquid or contaminates in the rotor housings.
3. Connect up Calibration Equipment.
4. Screw the calibrated pressure Transducers into the leading spark plug hole on each rotor housing.
4. Crank engine with throttle wide open and the clutch pedal fully down.
5. Using the Laptop record output from measurement equipment.
6. Convert readings into required figures.
7. Normalise results for 250rpm.
8. Record actual "Compression Test Results" (see below).
9. Print Customer Hardcopy.

defined, before it is referenced.");
So the first few lines of statements are now like this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
 // log database query statements to stand out
 db.Log = Console.Out;
 // CRUD operations on tables
 TestTables();
 Console.ReadLine();
}
static void TestTables()
{
 // retrieve all Beverages
 IEnumerable<Product> beverages = from p in db.Products
 where p.Category.CategoryName == "Beverages"
 orderby p.ProductName
 select p;
 Console.WriteLine("After query syntax beverages is defined, " +
 "before it is referenced.");
 Console.WriteLine("There are {0} Beverages", beverages.Count());
// rest of the file
Now if you run the program, the output will be like this:
Pic11.jpg
From the logs, we see the query is not executed when the query syntax is defined. Instead, it is executed when beverages.Count() is being called.
Deferred Execution for Singleton Methods
But if the query expression will return a singleton value, the query will be executed immediately while it is defined. For example, we can add this statement to get the average price of all products:
decimal? averagePrice = (from p in db.Products
 select p.UnitPrice).Average();
Console.WriteLine("After query syntax averagePrice is defined, before it is referenced.");
Console.WriteLine("The average price is {0}", averagePrice);
The output is like this:
Pic12.jpg
From this output, we know the query is executed at the same time when the query syntax is defined.
Deferred Execution for Singleton Methods Within Sequence Expressions
However, just because a query is using one of those singleton methods like Sum, Average, or Count, it doesn't mean the query will be executed when it is defined. If the query result is a sequence, the execution will still be deferred. Following is an example of this kind of query:
// deferred execution2
var cheapestProductsByCategory =
 from p in db.Products
 group p by p.CategoryID into g
 select new
 {
 CategoryID = g.Key,
 CheapestProduct =
 (from p2 in g
 where p2.UnitPrice == g.Min(p3 => p3.UnitPrice)
 select p2).FirstOrDefault()
 };
Console.WriteLine("Cheapest products by category:");
foreach (var p in cheapestProductsByCategory)
{
 Console.WriteLine("categery {0}: product name: {1} price: {2}",
 p.CategoryID, p.CheapestProduct.ProductName, p.CheapestProduct.UnitPrice);
}
If you run the above query, you will see it is executed when the result is being printed, not when the query is being defined. Part of the result is like this:
Pic13.jpg
From this output, you can see when the result is being printed, it first goes to the database to get the minimum price for each category, then for each category, it goes to the database again to get the first product with that price. Though in a real product, you probably don't want to write so complex a query in your application code, but put it in a Stored Procedure.
Deferred (Lazy) Loading Versus Eager Loading
In one of the above examples, we retrieved the category name of a product by this expression:
p.Category.CategoryName == "Beverages"
Even though there is no such field called category name in the Products table, we can still get the category name of a product because there is an association between the Products and Category table. On the Northwind.dbml design surface, click on the line between the Products and Categories tables and you will see all the properties of the association. Note, its participating properties are Category.CategoryID -> Product.CategoryID, meaning category ID is the key field to link these two tables.
Because of this association, we can retrieve the category for each product, and on the other hand, we can also retrieve the products for each category.
Lazy Loading by Default
However, even with the association, the associated data is not loaded when the query is executed. For example, if we retrieve all categories like this:
var categories = from c in db.Categories select c;
And later on we need to get the products for each category, the database has to be queried again. This diagram shows the execution result of the query:
Pic14.jpg
From this diagram, we know that LINQ first goes to the database to query all categories, then for each category, when we need to get the total count of products, it goes to the database again to query all the products for that category.
This is because by default, lazy loading is set to true, meaning all associated data (children) are deferred loaded until needed.
Eager Loading With Load Options
To change this behavior, we can use the LoadWith method to tell the DataContext to automatically load the specified children in the initial query, like this:
// eager loading products of categories
DataLoadOptions dlo2 = new DataLoadOptions();
dlo2.LoadWith<Category>(c => c.Products);
// create another data context, because we can't change LoadOptions of db
// once a query has been executed against it
NorthwindDataContext db2 = new NorthwindDataContext();
db2.Log = Console.Out;
db2.LoadOptions = dlo2;
var categories2 = from c in db2.Categories select c;
foreach (var category2 in categories2)
{
 Console.WriteLine("There are {0} products in category {1}",
 category2.Products.Count(), category2.CategoryName);
}
db2.Dispose();
Note: DataLoadOptions is in the namespace System.Data.Linq, so you have to add a using statement to the program:
using System.Data.Linq;
Also, we have to create a new DataContext instance for this test, because we have ran some queries again the original db DataContext, and it is no longer possible to change its LoadOptions.
Now after the category is loaded, all its children (products) will be loaded too. This can be proved from this diagram:
Pic15.jpg
As you can see from this diagram, all products for all categories are loaded in the first query.
Filtered Loading With Load Options
While LoadWith is used to eager load all children, AssociateWith can be used to filter which children to load with. For example, if we only want to load products for categories 1 and 2, we can write this query:
// eager loading only certain children
DataLoadOptions dlo3 = new DataLoadOptions();
dlo3.AssociateWith<Category>(
 c => c.Products.Where(p => p.CategoryID == 1 || p.CategoryID == 2));
// create another data context, because we can't change LoadOptions of db
// once query has been executed against it
NorthwindDataContext db3 = new NorthwindDataContext();
db3.LoadOptions = dlo3;
db3.Log = Console.Out;
var categories3 = from c in db3.Categories select c;
foreach (var category3 in categories3)
{
 Console.WriteLine("There are {0} products in category {1}",
 category3.Products.Count(), category3.CategoryName);
}
db3.Dispose();
Now if we query all categories and print out the products count for each category, we will find that only the first two categories contain products, all other categories have no product at all, like in this diagram:
Pic16.jpg
Combining Eager Loading and Filtered Loading
However, from the output above, you can see it is lazy loading. If you want eager loading products with some filters, you can combine LoadWith and AssociateWith, like in the following code:
DataLoadOptions dlo4 = new DataLoadOptions();
dlo4.LoadWith<Category>(c => c.Products);
dlo4.AssociateWith<Category>(c => c.Products.Where(
 p => p.CategoryID == 1 || p.CategoryID == 2));
// create another data context, because we can't change LoadOptions of db
// once q query has been executed
NorthwindDataContext db4 = new NorthwindDataContext();
db4.Log = Console.Out;
db4.LoadOptions = dlo4;
var categories4 = from c in db4.Categories select c;
foreach (var category4 in categories4)
{
 Console.WriteLine("There are {0} products in category {1}",
 category4.Products.Count(), category4.CategoryName);
}
db4.Dispose();
The output is like this diagram:
Pic17.jpg
Note for each field of an entity, you can also set its Delay Loaded property to change its loading

Natural History Museums are wonderful, quite magical places to wander in. Nature in all its diverse forms are there displayed for the curious child to start making up playful adventures in their head or for the enthusiatic artist to start building their own worlds on paper.
The fascinating specimen of Dodo displayed in the Natural History Museum of London compelled me to draw this picture, using the memory I had of this special encounter.

family development program
The Family Development Program is the core program of SAFP, and marked the origin of our organization. Poor families in India are supported by regular monthly assistance for a sustainable livelihood.
Donations for the Family developmentProgram are forwarded through SAFP India office to our partners - the DSSSs (Diocesan Social Service Societies), then to the community-based Sanghams (grassroots people's organizations), and finally into the bank accounts of the recipient families. The families use these funds for necessities and many save a portion of this assistance for future needs.
There are three variables regarding the program and how it operates:
- The accuracy and integrity of the family's designation as needy
- The way in which the families spend the monthly funds is reflected by their most pressing needs (i.e. medicine, food or education of the children)
- The adequacy and duration of the assistance
The families are chosen in a participatory manner by the local Sangham based on priority of need. The names of the chosen families are then sent to the DSSS offices for review and finalization. Once families are approved, photos of the families are taken, and profiles are provided explaining the needs. The photos and profiles are forwarded to the SAFP India office for a final inspection before being sent to the SAFP office in Canada. They are recorded and stored until linked with a Canadian partner family, individual, group, etc.
Two Phased Approach on Poverty Alleviation:
- To meet immediate needs such as food, clothing, medicine or education
- To encourage each family assisted to become self-reliant and productive within the context of their local and general economy
- Provide basic human needs (food, medicine, shelter)
- Cover some of the educational costs of children so they can attend school
- Offer skills development opportunities for parents
- Enhance employability through training
- Provide means for these families to own livestock to have an improved diet and to give them an asset
- Assist families in financing entrepreneurial initiatives such as small retail stores called petty shops, bicycle repair centres, teashops, fishing businesses, etc.
- Reduces their indebtedness
- Improves their living conditions
- Reduces the burden on single parents such as widows and widowers as well as abandoned women
- Augments present income for an immediate improvement in their standard of living
- Provides avenues for subsidies and bank loans that would not normally be available to the poor
- Provides a built-in support system with their local Sangham
SAFP promises six years support to each family. After six years, if it is deemed necessary by the local Sangham or committee that the assistance must be extended for a while longer (due to extenuating circumstances such as the death of the main earner, raising a child with physical or mental challenges, etc.) the assistance will be made available.
More than 50,000 families have been assisted to become self-reliant. At present more than 12800 families are being assisted on a monthly basis. Some residents in SAFP's 25 Homes of Healing receive monthly assistance toward their living expenses, medical care or educational costs.
SAFP's Family-to-Family Program operates in the following states of India:
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
$20 a month or $240 yearly will assist a family. A minimum of $60 (3 months) support is needed to start assistance
- $1,440 (72 months) will support a family(ies) for 6 years
- $5,000 bursary will support a family(ies) for 20 years
If you wish to assist a family Click here to DONATE
You can correspond with the family in India directly. When writing letters to your family, please use only the address that appears on the profile sent to you by SAFP. This is located near the top of the profile as highlighted in the picture below. The family will write at least two letters a year, via interpreters.
