We have studied the magnetoelectric coupling of the frustrated triangular antiferromagnet iron jarosite using Raman spectroscopy, dielectric measurements and specific heat. Temperature dependent capacitance measurements show an anomaly in the dielectric constant at TN. Specific heat data indicate the presence of a low frequency Einstein mode at low temperature. Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of a new mode below TN that can be attributed to folding of the Brillouin zone. This mode shifts and sharpens below TN. We evaluate the strength of the magnetoelectric coupling using the symmetry unrestricted biquadratic magnetoelectric terms in the free energy.

Column Mappings and Transformations
SQL Server 2000
Column Mappings and Transformations
Use this dialog box to specify the mappings between the source and destination columns and to specify the transformations the data goes through, if any, as it is moved to the destination. You also can change the data type of the data if a valid data conversion is applicable.
Column Mappings Tab
Use this tab to specify how to treat the destination table and to specify column attributes on any newly created table.
Options
Create destination table
Create the destination table before copying the source data. This is the default option if the destination table you specified does not exist. If this option is selected and the destination table already exists, an error occurs, unless you select the Drop and re-create destination table check box.
Edit SQL
Customize the Transact-SQL CREATE TABLE statements used to create the destination table.
Delete rows in destination table
Delete all rows in the destination table before copying the source data. This option is only available if the destination table already exists. Existing indexes and constraints on the destination table are not affected by this option.
Append rows to destination table
Insert source data into the destination table. This option is available only if the table already exists. Existing data, indexes, and constraints on the destination table are not affected. However, rows are not necessarily appended to the end of the destination table. You can determine where rows will be inserted only by having a clustered index on the destination table.
Drop and re-create destination table
Drop the destination table and re-create it before moving data into it. All existing data in the destination table and any indexes are destroyed.
Enable identity insert
Allow explicit values to be inserted into the identity column of a table (Microsoft® SQL Server™ only). This option is only available if an identity column is detected. An identity column is a column that has been defined as having a data type of bigint, decimal, integer, numeric, smallint, or tinyint, where the Identity property for the column is set to yes.
Mappings table
Edit the cells in the table. The table does not list the order in which the destination columns will appear, but rather lists each destination column alongside each source column to which it maps.
For each column in the Mappings table, you can set the following properties:
Source
Choose the column name in the source table to copy to the destination. Click <ignore> on the source column name to set the destination column to NULL for a new table. If the table already exists, the data will be NULL if allowed, or set to its default value if one was defined. If the destination is defined as NOT NULL, clicking <ignore> in the source column results in an error when the package is executed if no default value is specified for the destination column.
If you copy a source column defined as an identity column, the data will not be copied unless the Enable identity insert check box is selected.
If you copy a source column defined with user-defined data types to a new table, the data type of the destination column is the system-defined data type that corresponds to the user-defined data type.
You may change the following properties only if a new destination table is being created.
Destination
Choose the column name in the destination table to receive the source data. Click <ignore> to prevent the source column from being created in the destination table when creating a new table. If you want to remove a column from an existing table, click <ignore> in the destination column, but also select the Drop and re-create destination table check box in this dialog box. This will re-create the table with the columns specified. Existing data and indexes in the table will be lost.
timestamp columns cannot be copied by the Data Transformation Services (DTS) Import/Export Wizard. If the destination column is a timestamp column, the value in that field will be a new timestamp indicating when the row was inserted, not a copy of the timestamp data from the source table.
Type
Select a data type for the destination column. The default setting matches the data type of the destination column to the source.
Note Invalid data conversions can be specified without causing an error, as the default transformation setting allows all possible conversions. For example, converting an int data type to a tinyint data type will result in data truncation, but the conversion will proceed.
Nullable
Specify if destination can allow null values.
Size
Specify the length of the Destination column, in units corresponding to the data type. The value is only applicable for the char, varchar, nchar, nvarchar, binary, and varbinary data types. Specifying a size smaller than the length of the source can result in data truncation.
Precision
Enter the maximum number of decimal digits that can be stored to the left and to the right of the decimal point. This option applies only to decimal and numeric data types.
Scale
Enter the maximum number of decimal digits that are stored to the right of the decimal point. The number must be less than or equal to the number in the Precision column. This option applies only to decimal and numeric data types.
Transformations tab
Use this tab to specify whether unique transformation code must be written. The column mappings set on the Column Mappings tab are reflected in code shown in the text area.
Options
Copy the source column directly to the destination columns
Copy the source column to the destination tables without changing the data or the source and destination mappings.
Transform information as it is copied to the destination
Edit the script in the text area to customize the columns before copying them from the source to the destination. For complex transformations, consider using DTS Designer, which offers support for Microsoft ActiveX® scripting.
Language
Select a scripting language. The default language is Microsoft Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript). Available languages are VBScript or JScript.
Browse
Display the Select File dialog box, where you can select a file that contains previously written transformation code, if the code already has been written and saved to a .txt, .vbs or .bas file. When a file is selected, the text from the file is copied into the Query statement text area.

GRIHA Council joins hands with Indian Institute of Architects to promote green buildings
This association will promote adoption of sustainable building materials and strategies to increase the green building footprint in the country
While predictions of human civilisation coming to an end soon may or may not be true, there's no denying the fact that global warming is a reality and we are living in dangerous times. It is in such times that every bit counts. For example, building green houses, houses that reduce the impact on the environment. With this in mind, GRIHA Council (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) and the Indian Institute of Architects, Northern Chapter signed an MoU to spread awareness on the importance of green buildings. Sanjay Seth, CEO, GRIHA Council tells us more. Excerpts...
What is the aim of this MOU? What issues do you hope to address?
The MoU signed on June 22, 2019 aims to spread awareness about the necessity of green and sustainable architecture and the GRIHA rating tool to evaluate the performance of such buildings. This association will promote adoption of sustainable building materials and strategies to increase the green building footprint in the country, through awareness and training programmes for the members of IIANC in Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir region.
What exactly do you mean by green buildings? How would this be implemented?
A green building is one that makes minimal impact on the environment. Its design is climate-responsive, and utmost care is taken while constructing it to preserve the environment. It is operated in such a manner that it utilises all resources efficiently. Reducing environmental impact and providing occupant comfort are the key features of a green building.
What would the impact of this MoU be?
The MoU would help us create a cadre of professionals who would promote the cause of green buildings in the country. This being a very active chapter, we hope to reach out to many architects and design professionals in this industry who have been showing commitment to promoting green. This would not only lead to increasing the GRIHA footprint, but also help us push the markets towards more sustainable practices.
To what extent can green buildings make a difference in sustaining the environment?
Green buildings are highly resource-efficient and can result in 30 - 50% reduction in energy consumption and 40 - 65% reduction in the building water consumption.
Other benefits of building green
- 30 – 40% reduction in operational cost with negligible impact on project cost
- Ensures health and safety of construction workers on site
- Up to 40% reduction in freshwater demand
- Ensures acoustic, thermal and visual comfort for building occupants

Make a cheap, high-tech nozzle to eliminate turbulence and create incredible water effects.
By Larry Cotton and Phil Bowie
Laminar-flow water charms and fascinates. It behaves quite differently from ordinary turbulent water, such as the flow from a faucet or garden hose. A laminar stream is so perfect it could pass for a glass rod. It doesn't splash upon hitting a surface, it will conduct light like a fiber-optic cable, and it's so cohesive, it will enwrap and levitate a smooth sphere, even at a surprising angle to the vertical.
In 2011, we drove 600 miles from our North Carolina homes to Disney's Epcot theme park to study the "Leap Frog" fountain, which chops a laminar stream into arcs, creating impish, cavorting water creatures. We've been obsessed with laminar flow phenomena ever since, joining an online cult of experimenters.
We have achieved laminar flow simply and inexpensively by making a nozzle from a big plastic peanut butter jar, scrub pads, drinking straws, and standard PVC pipe and hose fittings. A fine way to show off its elegant stream is to build a fountain using this nozzle as its heart. It's easy to make, and can produce captivating shapes or even levitate lightweight spheres.

India's renowned theoretical physicist Thanu Padmanabhan has won a ten-year-old challenge on dark energy. The Professor presented his idea on the dark energy to the international community of astrophysicists back in 2006 and asked everyone to prove him wrong by next decade — 2016. It is now confirmed that everyone failed to prove him wrong and he won his own challenge on the dark energy.
The announcement was made by David Wiltshire in the CosPa2016 International conference held in Sydney.
Dark matter is the most mysterious entity in our universe as no one has actually seen or experienced what dark matter is. Scientists believe that more than one-third of our universe is made up of dark matter and it is a hot topic among cosmologists and space enthusiasts.
Padmanabhan presented his idea on the dark matter at the 23rd Texas Symposium on December 15, 2006, and asked the attendants and physicists all around the globe to prove his idea wrong in next ten years.
It was Wiltshire who openly accepted the challenge and said he will prove the theory wrong. Wiltshire is professor in the department of physics and astronomy, University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
Padmanabhan's theory says that dark energy (cosmological constant) is the root cause of accelerated expansion of the universe and mathematics has proved that dark energy behaves like a fluid which has negative pressure.
However, Wiltshire failed to prove the theory is wrong. In addition, Padmanabhan along with his daughter Hamsa Padmanabhan used Einstein's theory and determined the numerical value of cosmological constant.
Reportedly, the terms and conditions of this bet were that if Wiltshire won the challenge, he would get a clock (which he could choose). This would 'help him keep better track of the lack of constancy of cosmological ideas'. Wiltshire conceded defeat last week and sent Padmanabhan money. "He transferred the amount and I bought the lamp last week. At the symposium in Australia, Wiltshire publicly admitted that he was beaten, while showing my photograph with the lamp," Padmanabhan said.

'Suok' ('Kyoho' × 'Beniizu') is a tetraploid (4×) table grape cultivar showing large berries with high quality. 'Suok' has a mean bud burst on 17 Apr., flowering on 31 May, and fruit maturity on 15 Sept. The mean berry weight is 10.9 g, and mean soluble solids are 18.5 °Brix. The skin color is black with abundant bloom and the flesh is soft and juicy.
'Suok' resulted from a cross between and 'Kyoho' (4×) and 'Beniizu' (4×) with the intention of producing high-quality table grapes with the taste of 'Kyoho' at the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), RDA, Korea, in 1992 (Fig. 1). It was preliminarily selected in 2000, tested in seven sites from 2001 to 2004 as 'Wonkyo RA-18', and named in 2004. Three randomized vines were planted and tested to evaluate characters of vines and fruit production in each site for 4 years.
Flowers of 'Suok' are perfect and self-fertile, blooming at midseason (on 31 May in Suwon, Korea) after midseason bud break (17 Apr.).
Fruits of 'Suok' have black–blue skin when fully ripened. Fruits are large in size averaging 10.9 g, similar to 'Kyoho', and are round to slightly ovate. When the grapes are fully ripened, the aroma of 'Suok' is very similar to that of 'Kyoho' with a pronounced foxy flavor. 'Suok' ripens between 22 Sept. and 25 Sept. in Suwon, Korea, 8 d later than 'Kyoho'. It is considered a late-season cultivar. The mean total soluble solids (TSS) of 'Suok' are 18.5 °Brix, ≈2.1 °Brix higher than 'Kyoho', and pH is usually similar to 'Kyoho' (Table 1). The balance between sugar (18.5 °Brix) and acidity (0.62% titratable acidity, pH 3.12) is excellent. These indicate that 'Suok' can accumulate satisfactory amounts of sugar while maintaining sufficient acidity. Its berry has two to four seeds of 8.0 mm in length, and its skin is slip, pulpy, and medium in thickness. The flesh texture is soft and juicy. 'Suok' is a late-season grape variety, which produces fruits with long shelf life compare with 'Kyoho'. It is possible to produce seedless berries by the gibberellic acid treatment (25 ppm in full bloom) in 'Suok', like in 'Kyoho'.
Fruit characteristics of grape cultivar Suok and its parent 'Kyoho'.
The clusters of 'Suok' are large in size (400 to 450 g with 35 to 40 berries each), conical, and sometimes shouldered. The berries are set very tightly with no shattering, which causes their low marketability with bad appearance of clusters in 'Kyoho' grape. The cluster appearance is excellent with a uniform shape and black skin color (Fig. 2).
Own-rooted vines are vigorous and more productive than 20 Mt·ha−1 in total yield than 'Kyoho' (18 Mt·ha−1) in randomly designed blocks. Vines show uniform clusters in size and ripening period with excellent berry setting by cane pruning. Vines are moderately hardy to cold with 40% to 50% survival of buds at –20 °C in Suwon, Korea.
The foliage is moderately susceptible to anthracnose (Elsinoe ampelina Shear) and downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola Berl. & de Toni). However, the trunk is moderately resistant to crown gall (Agrobacterium vitis). After fruit harvest, it is required to keep as many healthy leaves as possible on the vines to maintain sufficient nutrient for good plant growth in the next year. Although own-rooted vines of 'Suok' grape were cultivated in the vineyard, they were not infested with phylloxera owing to low risk for natural attacks by them in the soil in Korea.
'Suok' is a table grape with large berries, which produce fruits with pronounced varietal characteristics similar to 'Kyoho', one of its parents. 'Suok' is distinguished by its superior fruit quality combined with good productivity and partial resistance to crown gall disease superior to its acclaimed parent, 'Kyoho'. 'Suok', which means "excellent gem" in Korean, is the eighth table grape cultivar named by NHRI. It follows the release of 'Cheongsoo' (Lee et al., 1994), 'Hongdan' (Suh et al., 1995), 'Tamnara' (Park et al., 2004a), 'Heukgoosul' (Park et al., 2004b), 'Hongisul' (Park et al., 2006a), 'Heukboseok' (Park et al., 2006b), and 'Jinok' (Yun et al., 2008). 'Suok' may be used as a substitute for 'Kyoho' in grape cultivation in Korea as a result of its large-sized berries with high quality and several characteristics for facilitating vineyard management such as excellent coloring of skins and easy bearing habit.

Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte abnormality that may cause cardiac pacemaker malfunction. Clinically, bilateral calf pain is extremely rare in hyperkalemia. Here we presented a case of a 78-year-old female who had bilateral calf pain with electrocardiographic changes in severe hyperkalemia.
Hyperkalemia, bilateral calf pain, electrocardiographic changes, pacemaker.
Hyperkalemia is a common clinical condition that could induce deadly cardiac arrhythmias, and is usually detected by electrocardiographic manifestations such as classic sinewave rhythm, and nonspecific repolarization abnormalities. However, sometimes it is difficult to diagnose hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia related bilateral calf pain is rarely reported. Here we presented a case of a 78-yearold female who had severe hyperkalemia with bilateral calf pain, and demonstrated electrocardiographic changes.
A 78-year-old female presented to the vascular surgery clinic because of progressive bilateral calf pain and cramping that began 3 days ago. She had no other complaints, except fatigue, nausea, upper abdominal pain and partial loss of hearing. She had no previous history of bilateral calf pain, with medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation, which had been first diagnosed in 1992. Renal inadequacy diagnosed in 2009 (the highest creatinine value was 217 μmol/L). She received single ventricular pacemaker 10 years ago. Cardiac therapy consisted of spironolactone (20 mg daily), irbesartan (150 mg/d), and metoprolol. Her blood pressure was maintained at 110/70 mmHg.
On admission, physical examination revealed that her limbs were pale and clammy, her blood pressure was 90/60 mmHg, and ECG showed regular pacing of pacemaker and widened QRS complex (Fig. 1a). A color doppler ultrasound of lower limbs arteries showed that bilateral popliteal artery had moderate stenosis, but the blood flowed smoothly. Since her symptoms persisted, she was asked to stay in the observation room. Six hours later, the patient developed excruciating pain and extreme weakness and sudden onset of hypotension and bradycardia. ECG showed that the pacemaker failed with further widened QRS complexes, the heart rate was 30 beats/min (Fig. 1b). Therefore, she was transferred to the emergency room. Physical examination revealed her inability to move limbs and her blood pressure dropped to 70/50 mmHg. Possibility of electrode dislocation verified. Preparation for temporary pacing was processed immediately. Rapid blood gas analysis showed that serum potassium was 9.9 mM/L, suggesting that hyperkalemia led to the failure of pacemaker capture. Isoproterenol, calcium gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, and insulin were administered to improve both the hemodynamics and the serum potassium, followed by emergency hemodialysis. After normalization of the serum potassium concentration, her cardiac rhythm became sinus rhythm and her heart rate was increased to 72 beats/min (Fig. 1c). The bilateral calf pain and quadriplegia resolved completely. She was discharged after one week when the serum potassium was 4.7 mmol/L. Repeated ECG recording showed regaining of pacemaker function (Fig. 1d).
Figure 1: Twelve-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs, 25 mm/sec, 5 mm/mV) obtained from the patients. ECG recording (1a) showed the ventricular paced rhythm at 60 beats/min, with a hyperkalemia-induced QRS and T wave widening. ECG (1b) showed QRS widening with loss of ventricular capture. ECG (1c) after the normalization of serum potassium concentration revealed sinus. ECG (1d) after the normalization of serum potassium concentration revealed atrial fibrillation with regained pacemaker function.
In most cases, bilateral calf pain may involve a variety of etiologies, including musculoskeletal and vascular pathology such as deep venous thrombosis. Hyperkalemia results in acute onset of quadriparesis or paralysis [3,4]. However, there are reports of leg pain induced by hyperkalemia, especially for the patients who underwent pacemaker implantation. Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte abnormality that may cause cardiac pacemaker malfunction. This case illustrated some typical ECG changes due to hyperkalemia during paced rhythm, including gradual widening of the paced QRS complex and eventual loss of ventricular capture that reverted with the correction of hyperkalemia. As demonstrated in this case, initial characteristic electrocardiographic abnormalities in hyperkalemia during paced rhythm are widened QRS complexes, followed by the failure of pacemaker capture, which resulted in hypotension and bradycardia. Rapidly progressing hemodynamic instability on the basis of atherosclerotic stenosis may result in acute aggravating limb ischaemia, followed by bilateral calf pain and quadriparesis. Hyperkalemia often leads to the appearance of a typical sine-wave pattern and may ultimately result in cardiac arrest and respiratory failure without timely treatment [6,7]. Furthermore, hyperkalaemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the failure of pacemaker capture.
Hyperkalemia is a medical emergency that can lead to severe consequences and needs urgent attention. Recognition of the combination of bilateral calf pain and electrocardiographic abnormalities as showed in this case will help early diagnosis and treatment of hyperkalemia. Although hyperkalemia–related bilateral calf pain is extremely rare, clinicians should always be aware of this potentially life-threatening situation.

|Crebby Zuisasu prepares a meal for her son and her sister's two children at their home in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital. The family can only afford to eat one meal a day.|
HARARE, Zimbabwe, 30 July 2010 – The Inclusive Government of Zimbabwe, the United Nations and the Zimbabwe Food and Nutrition Council (FNC) have launched new data on the nutritional status of Zimbabwe's children, revealing that more than one third of Zimbabwe's children under the age of five are chronically malnourished and consequently stunted.
Speaking as he officially launched the Zimbabwe National Nutrition Survey results, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said that Zimbabwe's current food production remains too low to meet national requirements. Years of persistent droughts and the recent downturn of the Zimbabwean economy have adversely affected food availability in many homes in Zimbabwe.
Mr. Tsvangirai added his voice to a growing call for accelerated action to reverse chronic undernutrition in Zimbabwe. He also spoke about the need to maintain the low levels of severe acute malnutrition highlighted by the report.
|Delegates attend the launch of Zimbabwe's National Nutrition Survey results.|
"As government, we have agreed to make nutrition a priority at the national and sub-national level because it is central for human, social and economic development," said the Prime Minister. "Persistent and deteriorating chronic malnutrition means Zimbabwe is unlikely to meet the United Nations Millennium Development Goal number one – to halve poverty and hunger."
The National Nutrition Survey, which was conducted in January 2010, revealed a worsening problem of chronic malnutrition, posing long-term survival and development challenges for Zimbabwe. The survey also shows plummeting exclusive breastfeeding rates.
However, the low and stable rates of severe acute malnutrition revealed by the survey are a credit to both the food security programmes supported by the international community as well as the coping mechanisms of the Zimbabwean people.
Thousands at risk
In his response to the survey results, UNICEF Representative in Zimbabwe Dr. Peter Salama said the report further demonstrated that the age of greatest vulnerability to malnutrition and infection is from the pre-natal period to 24 months. He identified this period as a "critical window of opportunity."
|Prime Minister of Zimbabwe Morgan Tsvangirai speaks at the National Nutrition Survey results launch in Zimbabwe.|
"The data emerging from the survey provides irrefutable evidence of the magnitude of the problem of malnutrition in Zimbabwe," said Dr. Salama. "These levels of malnutrition are unacceptably high. They represent not only a challenge to reaching our development goals, but will also constrain economic growth."
According to the survey, while the overall prevalence of severe acute malnutrition remains relatively low across the country for children under five years at 2.1 per cent, the rate doubles among babies between 6 and 18 months of age. This suggests inherent problems in infant feeding practices, including a lack of access to the right foods.
The rates of severe acute malnutrition found in the National Nutrition Survey translate to thousands of severely malnourished children at high risk of death in Zimbabwe.
In addition, the survey showed that only about 8 per cent of children below the age of two receive the minimum acceptable complementary foods in terms of quality and diversity. A large percentage of children in Zimbabwe reside in households without access to safe water and improved sanitation facilities, and access to health and nutrition services were also found to be poor.
The Zimbabwe National Nutrition Survey, which had a sample size of nearly 40,000, was designed to provide the government and its development partners with nutrition information to drive national and sub-national level prioritization and decision making. Supported by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development with collaboration from partners including the Swedish International Development Agency, the World Health Organization, the World Food Programme, Helen Keller International and civil society, the survey will help gauge Zimbabwe's progress on the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals.
"It is high time that FNC, the coordinating body for food and nutrition analysis and response in Zimbabwe, is supported to re-invigorate its multi-stakeholder policy and action," said Acting Director of FNC George Kembo. "We must continue placing nutrition at the center of our development agenda and be guided by evidence."
At the launch, the Inclusive Government, the United Nations and their partners made a call to action, highlighting interventions necessary to combat malnutrition. Key among these is to promote exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding combined with a focus on safe, appropriate, complementary feeding.


The Balkan Mountains (Kom-Emine)
Section 1 of the Trans-European Alpine Route
This section of the TEAR simply follows Bulgaria's longest and oldest trail, the Kom-Emine, for it's entire length across the Balkan Mountains. The eastern terminus of the trail, along with the entire TEAR, is Cape Emine, where the Balkan Mountains rise out of the Black Sea. The Kom-Emine winds its way towards Kom Peak (near the Serbian border) along a network of dirt roads and walking paths (official estimates are 70% forest/farm tracks, 20% single track, 5% paved).
The Balkan Mountains, or Stara Planina, run east-west across central Bulgaria before curving north and forming the border with Serbia at their western end. They have played an enormous role in the history of Bulgaria and even provide the basis for the name of the entire Balkan Peninsula.
The highlights of the Kom-Emine are the high ridge walks along the western and central sections of the Balkan Mountains (including the Central Balkan National Park), although this also presents the greatest challenge for TEAR hikers due to the lingering snow and unsettled weather in the early spring season. Thankfully a well established system of mountain huts allow for options for weary walkers to dry off and warm up.
The 'nuts and bolts' of the section are provided in the map above, which can be exported for use in offline GPS apps. Information is divided into subfolders for easier viewing and additional details/context are given below.
Main Route
Conceptually, navigation for this section is fairly simple since we're sticking to a single trail the entire way. The Kom-Emine is generally well marked with blazes of red and white stripes, although sometimes an important intersection will have nothing while a clear forest trail could be blazed on every other tree.
There is an official guidebook available (be sure to order the english version) which contains additional historical and cultural details, daily trail descriptions, hut information, and overview maps (not detailed enough for navigation). It's important to note that the trail is traditionally hiked eastbound, from Kom Peak to Cape Emine (this is the way the guidebook is written), while you'll be hiking in the opposite direction.
Alternate Routes
There are several official alternate routes along the Kom-Emine which allow you to bypass the main (exposed) ridges during bad weather. You'll likely encounter snow anywhere above 2000m in April so these trails become very useful options. Unfortunately there is no alternate around the highest point of the Balkan Mountains, Botev Peak (2386m), so you'll have to brave the elements.
The Kom-Emine doesn't pass through many towns due to its path along the main ridges of the mountains. This means you'll have to drop down off the trail to the plains below if you want to restock at a market (these are still small towns so don't expect much variety). There is a fair amount of flexibility with resupply strategies here since you could also opt for longer food carries or supplement your resupply with meals from the many huts along the way. Some of the huts may be closed or have limited services during this time of the year so plan carefully. The schedule given on the resupply spreadsheet is a good balance of limiting off-trail resupply miles and food carry distances. The GPS files include some additional options as well.
There are no places along the trail to buy a threaded fuel canister. You'd have to hike south from the mountains and catch a bus or train to Sofia. The only place where you can catch a train directly from the trail is Gara Lakatnik, after 500km of hiking. You can also take a train into Sofia early in the next section. Denatured alcohol (СПИРТ) can often be found in general stores and is purple.
Most sources should be flowing well early in the year. The sources mentioned in the GPS data are not exhaustive and often don't include obvious sources such as larger rivers or towns. Water can also be acquired at most mountain huts (check hut descriptions in Huts/Shelters info). Possibly the longest water carry of the whole Kom-Emine begins only ~3km after leaving Cape Emine, which may require carrying for the rest of the day and a dry camp. Thankfully the temperatures should be cool and the early terrain is easy.
Huts / Shelters
There are many staffed huts along the route as well as unstaffed shelters in various conditions. Wild camping is not permitted within Central Balkans National Park, but there are many huts and shelters for the ~100km of trail through the park.
Borders / Transportation / Other
The most important information here is how to get to Cape Emine. Burgas has the closest international airport, but I haven't been able to confirm a place to buy threaded fuel canisters for your first resupply. Sofia certainly has them, so you could fly there and take the train to Burgas. Eastern Europe is very easy to explore on a budget, so feel free to travel a bit before hitting the trail. Regardless of how you get to Burgas, you'll then need to take a bus north to Sunny Beach. During the summer the local bus lines in Sunny Beach extend all the way to the Elenite resort area, but in the early season you'll have to walk most of the way or flag a taxi (ask the price beforehand so you don't get ripped off). From Elenite it's a 10km hike to the village of Emona, which has a small hiker-friendly bar/restaurant. I humbly suggest having at least a drink there before walking the ~2km to the Cape and finding a place to camp above the cliffs. In the morning you can watch the sunrise over the Black Sea before setting off.

text: The NIH plans to spend $178,000 to unlock the mystery of why drug-using prostitutes in Thailand are more likely to be infected with HIV. The study, "Substance Use and HIV Risk among Thai Women," will have researchers interview 60 sex workers to understand the factors that make the prostitutes prone to HIV infection. Watchdogs groups are calling the study a huge waste of American taxpayers' money. "This really is a complete waste of money and should not be funded by the taxpayer," said David Williams, vice president for policy at Citizens Against Government Waste. Other NIH studies that have come under scrutiny include investigations on why the obese are underrepresented in long distance running competitions and why the blind make extraordinarily poor search and rescue pilots.

13.9: How Do You Spell [k]?
Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12
How Do You Spell [k]?
1. The sound [k] is spelled many different ways. Underline the letters that you think are spelling [k] in the following words. Then write the letters that spell [k] in the blanks. You should find that [k] is spelled eleven different ways!
Word [k] = Word [k] =
zodiac acquired
remarkable khan
equally saccharine
hockey bookcase
schemer trekkie
accommodations
2. In spite of all these different spellings of [k], more than nine times out of ten [k] will be spelled either , , or . And we can usually predict which of these three spellings to choose. Underline the letters that spell [k] at the beginning of each of the following words:
& \text{\underline{c}ounterfeit} && \text{\underline{k}itchen} && \text{\underline{c}rime} && \text{\underline{c}ommunity} \\& \text{\underline{c}alculate} && \text{\underline{c}ritical} && \text{\underline{k}indly} && \text{\underline{c}limate} \\& \text{\underline{c}ondemn} && \text{\underline{c}ampaign} && \text{\underline{c}ongress} && \text{\underline{c}apital} \\& \text{\underline{k}ey} && \text{\underline{c}linic} && \text{\underline{k}ettle} && \text{\underline{c}onscience}
3. Sort the sixteen words into these two groups:
Words in which [k] is spelled...

key counterfeit crime
kitchen calculate congress
kindly condemn community
kettle critical climate
campaign capital
clinic conscience
4. Underline the letter that comes right after the or in each of the sixteen words above. Then sort the words into this matrix:
Words in which [k] is spelled...

Words with an <\mathrm{i}> or right after the [k]
Words with no <\mathrm{i}> or right after the [k]
5. In each of these words is there a [k] sound at the beginning of the word, in the middle, or at the end? At the beginning
6. You should have seen that each time a word starts with [k] with an <\mathrm{i}> or right after it, the [k] is spelled . Otherwise, [k] at the beginning of a word is spelled . Have you ever seen a word begin with ? No If you saw one, like maybe , wouldn't it look odd? Yes
7. At the beginning of a word, [k] is never spelled ; it is usually spelled or . If the [k] has an <\mathrm{i}> or an right after it, it is usually spelled ; otherwise, it is usually spelled .
Teaching Notes.
Item 7. The usually's in this conclusion are important in two ways:
1. As the students have already seen, [k] can be spelled several different ways, and this conclusion only speaks of those words that have an initial [k] that is spelled either or . It says nothing yet about words like queen or chrome, in which initial [k] is spelled some way other than or . This lesson and the following are concerned only with sorting out , , and , which are far and away the most common spellings of [k].
2. There are a number of words, though very few that are commonly used, that have initial [k] spelled with something other than the , <\mathrm{i}>, or following that the conclusion calls for. In most cases they are quite recent adoptions that still reflect the spelling patterns of their source languages: kangaroo (Australian), kayak (Eskimo), kona (Hawaiian). Some are from Greek and still have the Greek kappa translated as : kaleidoscope, krypton. Kleptomania, also Greek, has the more regular spelling cleptomania. Krypton has the same Greek base as cryptic and crypt but retains the older spelling with , probably because it is used only in technical language (and, of course, Superman), and technical language tends to be conservative in its treatment of words and their spelling. Kaleidoscope is somewhat similar: The Greek base kal(l)- means "beautiful" and is appears, with a different, and more regular, spelling, in such words as calligraphy and callisthenics.
For more on the spelling of [k], see AES, pp. 355-72.

Sweet lemon, also known as mosambi in India, is a term is often used to refer to a certain type of sweetish lemon, which is a subspecies of the citrus genus and is often referred to by its botanical name citrus limetta. This fruit is edible either in raw or cooked form and is often used in sweet lemon recipes such as fruit salads.
Origins of Sweet Lemon
Sweet lemon origins are unclear, but it was spread from one continent to another by humans. Highly popular in North America this fruit is widely cultivated in California. In the Mediterranean region it is grown in Italy and can even be found in several other tropical countries such as India, where it cultivated in a number of states. In countries such as India this fruit is known as mosambi and is used in various sweet lemon recipes.
Culinary Uses of Sweet Lemon
Sweet lemon look very much like oranges, however they can often be differentiated from oranges by their taste which is either acidic or slightly sweet. Also as this fruit is closely related to limes, they are very often mistaken to be large limes. The taste of this fruit mostly depends on whether it is ripe or unripe. Some sweet lemon recipes such as fruit salads require raw ripe fruit while others specifically require unripe fruit.
Popular Sweet Lemon Recipes
Sweet lemon is often used in various sweet lemon recipes as the central ingredient or as a marinade. The scraped zest of unripe or ripe fruit is often used as a dressing in desserts and can add a fresh summery flavor. Mosambi in India is also used in the creation of squashes and juice. Mosambi juice is an all time summer favorite as it can be prepared easily, and is good for diabetics as it needs only a little sweetening to become palatable.
The juice of the sweet lemon is often used as a marinade for chicken and can be used as a good substitute for sweet vinegar. In addition to chicken various other meats also combine well with this fruit.
Unripe sweet lemon or mosambi is often used in Indian cooking, especially in the making of pickles. In such sweet lemon recipes lime is substituted with sweet lemon giving such pickles a unique flavor.
Cuisines Using Sweet Lemon
Sweet lemon as it is widely available has slowly started making its presence felt in international cuisine. Ripe fruit can often be eaten as it is without added sweetening and many cultures believe that the fruit and especially its white pith aids digestion. In India mosambi based recipes are valued for their cooling effect.
Nutritive Value of Sweet Lemon
Sweet lemon, like its cousin the lime, has high amounts of vitamin C otherwise known as ascorbic acid. This high concentration gives it a distinct tangy bite. The juice of the fruit is considered to be a good weight loss aid as it is low in calories, and can often be consumed without any artificial sweeteners such as sugar.
Buying and Storing Sweet Lemon
Sweet lemon are available throughout the year in tropical countries like India and often do not need to be stored. When unripe fruit is bought, it can be kept wrapped in a room to help it ripen. When buying it is essential to look for fruit that is slightly yellow, heavy and unblemished.

What do you do with calla lilies in the fall? This is called curing. After the calla lily rhizomes have dried, place them in a paper bag or wrap them in newspaper. Store them in a cool, dry place, somewhere that stays around 50 F. (10 C.). Proper calla lily winter care is essential to having these lovely flowers in your garden year after year.
How do you winterize calla lilies? Calla lilies will overwinter outdoors in Zones 9-11, but in most places they need to overwinter indoors. If you've grown the plants in pots, you can simply move the pots inside to a dark location for the winter without having to dig at all. Just repot them in fresh soil in spring.
Do you cut back calla lilies fall? Calla lilies don't require regular pruning, but you should deadhead the flowers as they wilt. It's not necessary to dig up and store calla lily bulbs during the winter in USDA zones 8 and above, but when they plants begin to die back in the late fall, they can be unattractive.
Do calla lilies come back year after year? Many people treat their gift calla lilies as annuals. They receive a potted flower, or buy them for spring decorating, and then toss it when the blooms are done. In truth, though, calla lilies are perennials and you can actually save your potted plant and watch it bloom again next year.
What do you do with calla lilies in the fall? – Related Questions
Are coffee grounds good for calla lilies?
In conclusion, it is very important to provide good care for the Calla lilies by maintaining a loose well-drained soil and add some used coffee grounds to the plant's growing container to make it more acidic. This allows the lily to rest and come back with better blooms the next season.
Will calla lilies multiply?
Calla lily bulbs multiply underground, so digging up calla lilies is a way to keep them productive and establish new plants. Gardening Know How says the best time to dig up calla lilies is right after the frost has killed the foliage.
Can calla lily be planted outside?
Calla lilies are hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 8 through 10. When planted in water, the rhizomes can remain outdoors as long as the water doesn't freeze at the planting depth. You can also transplant your callas into pots and grow them as houseplants.
Why are my calla lilies falling over?
The leaves may become limp and drag if you have given the plant too much nitrogen fertilizer, which encourages leafy growth. They will also droop if the soil condition is too dry or too wet. The problem can also simply be that the blooms are too large.
Should I deadhead hydrangeas?
"Bigleaf hydrangeas, such as Endless Summer, should be deadheaded when the first set of flowers sprouts from last year's growth in the spring, as it eliminates the faded flowers before the next flush appears," she explains.
What month do calla lilies bloom?
When Calla Lilies are planted in the spring, they will produce flowers between midsummer and early fall for 3-8 weeks. Their flowering period depends on the temperature, amount of light and the variety. In climates where Calla Lilies are perennial, they typically bloom in late spring to early summer.
Should I deadhead calla lilies?
Unlike many other flowers, calla lily deadheading won't cause the plant to create more blossoms. You plant flowers for their looks, so it makes sense to keep them looking as attractive as possible. Second, calla lily deadheading is important for growing large, healthy rhizomes to plant for next year's flowers.
Are calla lilies poisonous to dogs?
Less Dangerous "Lilies" for Cats and Dogs
Other types of plants that are commonly mistaken for lilies but do not belong to the true lily or day lily families such as the Peruvian lily, peace lily, and calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), can all be toxic to both dogs and cats.
Do you cut back calla lilies for the winter?
Your calla lily care in winter will consist of digging the rhizome of the plants. Cut off the foliage from the top of the rhizomes, leaving about 2 to 3 inches (5-7.5 cm.) of the dead leaves. After this, leave the rhizomes to dry in a warm, dry place to dry for four to seven days.
Why are calla lily leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves are a sign of problems in the roots of the plant, for a number of different reasons. Yellowing leaves, known as chlorosis, is sometimes caused by a nutrient shortage in the soil, most often nitrogen, iron, zinc or some other trace element. Another common reason for yellowing calla lilies is root rot.
Why are my calla lily flowers turning brown?
Whether your calla lilies are planted in the ground or in pots, it's important to avoid extremes in moisture. If the leaf tips of your calla lily are turning brown, you may be watering too much. Brown leaf tips may signal excessive fertilizer.
How much sun do calla lilies need?
SHADE AND SUN: In warm climates, calla lilies grow well in full sun or partial shade. In cooler areas they grow best in full sun. ZONE: Calla lilies are winter hardy in zones 8-10. In colder areas they can either be grown as annuals or can be dug up in the fall and stored indoors for replanting the next spring.
Do calla lilies do well in pots?
Calla lily rhizomes grow best when planted 1 inch (2.5 cm.) Pots for calla lilies should be at least 10 to 12 inches (25-31 cm.) in diameter and well-draining. While calla lilies need consistently moist soil, improper drainage can cause rots and fungal diseases.
Do calla lilies spread on their own?
Calla lilies are bulbs. They spread through their roots but only if planted in partial shade. Fertilize once a month.
How long do calla lily bulbs last?
Most bulbs, if stored correctly, can be kept for about 12 months before needing to be planted.
Do calla lilies do better inside or outside?
Although an outdoor plant by nature, the Calla Lily will perform wonderfully as an indoor plant. Keeping this rhizome happy indoors is a matter of paying attention to some very basic growing conditions.
How do you care for a calla lily outside?
To grow callas outdoors, plant the rhizome 4 inches deep and with tips facing up after the last spring frost. Select a location with porous, well-draining soil, picking a sunny site in cooler climates but a partial-shade site in warmer regions. Water whenever the soil is dry, taking care not to overwater.
How long do potted calla lilies last?
Although this container plant can live year-round when in appropriate climates, allow it to die back for about two months each year. This will allow your calla lily flower to rest and come back with better blooms in the next growing season (it may not even bloom in its first year).
Should hydrangeas be cut back every year?
This is why it's best to plant hydrangeas where they have enough space to grow. These are the hydrangeas that set flower buds on current season wood (new wood). Trim out dead and crossing stems and prune to shape the plant. It is not necessary to prune every year.
Will hydrangeas grow back if cut down?
You can take a more relaxed attitude about pruning if you have hydrangeas that set flower buds on current season wood, like panicle and smooth hydrangeas. Even if you cut canes back to ground level during dormancy, the shrubs will grow back and produce blooms in spring.
What is the best fertilizer for calla lilies?
Once flowering shoots of calla lily appear, feed every three to four weeks with a liquid fertilizer high in potash, such as liquid tomato fertilizer. Regularly remove dead and faded flower stems and leaves.


Random Color Scheme
Making a coherent Material Design theme is hard. This is a Flutter plugin that generates a random color pallet based on Material Design while respecting WCAG guidelines.
The idea is for you to (temporarily) replace your ColorScheme() with a randomColorSchemeLight() or randomColorSchemeDark(). On each run, hot refresh or hot restart, the app is going to look different. The theme is printed in terminal, so you can easily copy and paste back into your project with the colors that you want to stay.
The interactive sample allows you to see how it works and the reasoning behind:
pub package
 random_color_scheme: ^VERSION
In your project, just replace the ColorScheme.dark(...) with RandomColorSchemeDark().
If you want a light theme, there is a RandomColorSchemeLight().
import 'package:random_colorscheme/random_color_scheme.dart';
 data: ThemeData(
 colorScheme: randomColorSchemeDark(),
 child: MyApp(),
How it works
This started in my Color Studio project.
I started looking at the Material Design Guidelines on color for both light and dark theme.
After extracting some colors (like the Primary, Secondary and Owl Study), I decided to see how similar were they, in what range are they and how they behave together.
Then, I used HSLuv with a random number generator and rules detected from my observation. The final adjustments were made when tweaking the sample.
HSLuv is great because only the Lightness attribute affects WCAG calculated contrast, so all themes are guaranteed to pass
a minimum accessibility threshold.
Function listing
 - randomColorSchemeDark(seed: null | int)
 - randomColorSchemeLight(seed: null | int)
 - randomColorScheme(seed: null | int, isDark: bool)
Seed: an integer which guarantees the random function is always going to have the same output (i.e., the same ColorScheme).
It is optional.

Developed by Environment Canterbury on behalf of the Canterbury Joint Waste Committee, "Tip the Balance" is designed to challenge students to rethink the choices they make when it comes to choosing their school lunch, with the aim of reducing waste.
Students embark on a proactive journey:
- travelling back through the life cycle of an aluminium can - a very long life!
- making choices about what food and drink to have in their lunch box
- finding out how 'wastewise' these lunch choices are
- comparing their choices with a group of virtual friends and seeing who ends up with the best 'wastewise' score.
The interactive resource is supported with a Student Workbook and a Facilitator's Guide.

This ice cream cone with a "tower of
ice cream scoops" can be a learning tool or homemade toy for
learning colors and numbers.
The ice cream cone is not meant to be assembled all at once by the
children, but instead by stages. The cone can also be used as
an educational display / bulletin board item or to make individual
suggestions for presenting it are below.
You may want to consider laminating the
elements: scoops, cones, and labels (colors and numbers) for
extended use. After it is laminated attach Velcro to
assemble the scoops and the labels. The pieces can be stored and
reassembled again and again.
The vertical format is also an easy and convenient way to display colors and numbers
in a compact space and can be adapted for use in bulletin boards in
*Make single cones to display children's pictures.
*Make individual cones with one scoop for a vertical display
Activity #1: Craft - Ice Cream Cone Colors and Numbers 1 to
Suggestions sequence of presenting
the cone craft:
Toddlers: (Under 36 months)
1. Display individual cones with primary colors for practice.
2. Select a cone with three colors (primary colors: yellow, blue, red).
Cut out pieces and the children can assemble the cone. Provide
the color labels so they can match to the cones. Separately
conduct a number activity for numbers 1 to 3.
Progressively add a secondary color (orange, green and purple) to the cone as well as a
color word card and number.
Preschool: Ages 3+ and older.
Rainbow Colors Theme: Choose a cone with primary colors and
then present a color mixing activity that demonstrates how secondary
colors are obtained. Assemble the cone with six scoops --
primary colors and secondary colors. Separately introduce
1. Option #1: Print color templates and select from
two cone options. Review assembly below. Optional: Select
color word cards and/or number cards to add to the cones.
2. Option #2: This option is best for large
groups. Use black and white templates and print directly to color paper or construction paper.
You will print 2 ice cream
scoops of the same color per paper, which can be separated
later. Print your choice of cone to tan or brown paper. Divide the the scoops so each child has
the number of scoops for the activity. Optional: Print your choice or color or
black and white color words or number labels. For color labels,
fill the numbers and dots with markers.
1. The pieces can be precut or children can help cut some of the
pieces. Six scoops and the cone are probably too much for the
children to cut out on their own.
Learning about Primary Colors and Secondary Colors:
Before the assembly, the ice cream scoops can be used to make a
presentation about primary colors and how these mix to form secondary
colors. Print and cut out additional cones to make a graph or
use these materials and presentation for this purpose.
The scoops can be arranged from top to bottom by placing the primary
colors first, secondary colors next and brown/gray and pink last or free style. After the scoops
are organized and glued they can be pasted onto to the cone.
Distribute color labels or number labels depending on which you wish

Becoming A Volunteer - General Information
Community-based literacy programs throughout Illinois depend on volunteers to provide free one-to-one tutoring to low literate adults and those who want to learn English. Low literacy adults are a diverse group of people; a variety of reasons account for their low literacy skills. Adults wishing to learn English are usually immigrants who are planning to stay in the United States on a long-term basis.
To become an adult literacy tutor, most programs request that potential volunteers attend twelve hours of tutor training, generally offered in the evenings or on Saturdays. Some literacy programs charge a small fee for the training to cover the cost of materials. The training enables potential tutors to become familiar with the problem of low literacy, with the population of adult new readers and provides them with essential tools and techniques they will need to help adult learners reach their goals. Many programs also offer in-service training sessions throughout the year to provide tutors with opportunities to strengthen their skills.
Many programs also need volunteers for other types of work, such as help with mailings, PR activities, special events and serving on Boards and Advisory Committees. Volunteers interested in helping with the cause of literacy, but unable to make the time commitment involved in tutoring, should consider these options.


// value1 < field < value2

In Akka we can have a collection in MongoDB that can be used to store all transacted data keyed on a transaction id. The set of data can be stored in a HashMap as key-value pairs. Have a look at the following diagram for the scheme of data storage using MongoDB Collections ..
Akka TransactionalState offers APIs to publish the appropriate storage engines depending on the configuration ..
class TransactionalState {
 def newPersistentMap(
 config: PersistentStorageConfig): TransactionalMap[String, AnyRef] =
 config match {
 case CassandraStorageConfig() => new CassandraPersistentTransactionalMap
 case MongoStorageConfig() => new MongoPersistentTransactionalMap
 }
 def newPersistentVector(
 config: PersistentStorageConfig): TransactionalVector[AnyRef] =
 config match {
 //..
 }
 def newPersistentRef(
 config: PersistentStorageConfig): TransactionalRef[AnyRef] =
 config match {
 //..
 }
 //..
}
and each transactional data structure defines the transaction semantics for the underlying structure that it encapsulates. For example, for a PersistentTransactionalMap we have the following APIs ..
abstract class PersistentTransactionalMap[K, V] extends TransactionalMap[K, V] {
 protected[kernel] val changeSet = new HashMap[K, V]
 def getRange(start: Int, count: Int)
 // ---- For Transactional ----
 override def begin = {}
 override def rollback = changeSet.clear
 //.. additional map semantics .. get, put etc.
}
A concrete implementation defines the rest of the semantics used to handle transactional data. The concrete implementation is parameterized with the actual storage engine that can be plugged in for specific implementations.
trait ConcretePersistentTransactionalMap extends PersistentTransactionalMap[String, AnyRef] {
 val storage: Storage

 override def getRange(start: Int, count: Int) = {
 verifyTransaction
 try {
 storage.getMapStorageRangeFor(uuid, start, count)
 } catch {
 case e: Exception => Nil
 }
 }
 // ---- For Transactional ----
 override def commit = {
 storage.insertMapStorageEntriesFor(uuid, changeSet.toList)
 changeSet.clear
 }
 override def contains(key: String): Boolean = {
 try {
 verifyTransaction
 storage.getMapStorageEntryFor(uuid, key).isDefined
 } catch {
 case e: Exception => false
 }
 }
 //.. others
}
Note the use of abstract val in the above implementation that will be concretized when we make a Mongo map ..
class MongoPersistentTransactionalMap
 extends ConcretePersistentTransactionalMap {
 val storage = MongoStorage
}
For the Storage part, we have another trait which abstracts the storage specific APIs ..
trait Storage extends Logging {
 def insertMapStorageEntriesFor(name: String, entries: List[Tuple2[String, AnyRef]])
 def removeMapStorageFor(name: String)
 def getMapStorageEntryFor(name: String, key: String): Option[AnyRef]
 def getMapStorageSizeFor(name: String): Int
 def getMapStorageFor(name: String): List[Tuple2[String, AnyRef]]
 def getMapStorageRangeFor(name: String, start: Int,
 count: Int): List[Tuple2[String, AnyRef]]
}
I am in the process of implementing a concrete implementation of storage using MongoDB, which will look like the following ..
object MongoStorage extends Storage {
 val KEY = "key"
 val VALUE = "val"
 val db = new Mongo(..); // needs to come from configuration
 val COLLECTION = "akka_coll"
 val coll = db.getCollection(COLLECTION)

 private[this] val serializer: Serializer = ScalaJSON

 override def insertMapStorageEntriesFor(name: String, entries: List[Tuple2[String, AnyRef]]) {
 import java.util.{Map, HashMap}
 val m: Map[String, AnyRef] = new HashMap
 for ((k, v) <- entries) {
 m.put(k, serializer.out(v))
 }
 coll.insert(new BasicDBObject().append(KEY, name).append(VALUE, m))
 }

 override def removeMapStorageFor(name: String) = {
 val q = new BasicDBObject
 q.put(KEY, name)
 coll.remove(q)
 }
 //.. others
}
As the diagram above illustrates, every transaction will have its own DBObject in the Mongo Collection, which will store a HashMap that contains the transacted data set. Using MongoDB's powerful query APIs we can always get to a specific key/value pair for a particular transaction as ..
// form the query object with the transaction id
val q = new BasicDBObject
q.put(KEY, name)
// 1. use the query object to get the DBObject (findOne)
// 2. extract the VALUE which has the HashMap of transacted data set
// 3. query on the HashMap on the passed in key to get the value
// 4. use the scala-json serializer to get back the Scala object
serializer.in(
 coll.findOne(q)
 .get(VALUE).asInstanceOf[JMap[String, AnyRef]]
 .get(key).asInstanceOf[Array[Byte]], None)
MongoDB looks a cool storage engine and has already been used in production as a performant key/value store. It looks promising to be used as the backup storage engine for persistent transactional actors as well. Akka transactors look poised to evolve as a platform that can deliver the goods for stateful STM based as well as stateless message passing based concurrent applications. I plan to complete the implementation in the near future and, if Jonas agrees will be more than willing to contribute to the Akka master.
Open source is as much about contributing, as it is about using ..

When we take a picture with a photo camera, we expect the resulting image to be in the same orientation as we intended. This means landscape pictures are displayed horizontally and portrait pictures are displayed vertically on screen. But how does the computer (or the camera) know how an image has been shot?
Most image formats contain not only the content, but additional information on the content: the image metadata. The JPEG image format may contain metadata in the Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF). Among things like the lens and camera model used to shoot the picture, EXIF may contain a field for the image orientation.
The canonical orientation is 1. An orientation value of 1 means that the image content exists exactly in the way we want to view it on the screen. Let's assume we have photo camera whose sensor has an aspect ratio of 4:3. When we use the camera to shoot an image in landscape orientation, the resulting JPEG image will have an orientation value of 1. When we shoot in portrait mode, however, the camera's sensors notice that the orientation has changed. The resulting image's EXIF metadata will have an orientation value of 8, if the camera was rotated clockwise, or 6, if the camera was rotated counter-clockwise. Likewise, 3 is the corresponding orientation for upside-down landscape pictures.
There are cases where the camera produces a flipped image, due to restrictions of the camera's hardware or shortcomings of the firmware. For this reason, there exist another four possible orientation values as depicted in the following image:
Interestingly, none of the eight possible values account for the camera being pointed directly upwards or downwards.
The EXIF orientation makes it possible to show an image to the user as it was intended by the photographer. At the same time, it complicates image processing on the software side: For one, it is necessary to manipulate both image data and EXIF data in unison. When the image rotation and the EXIF orientation are out of sync, the image will not be displayed correctly. Secondly, it is often desired to remove EXIF metadata entirely from an image. This is especially true when performing image optimization to achieve faster load times on websites. Website performance is generally dependent on page weight, i.e. the amount of data that needs to be transferred before the browser can render the website. Stripping EXIF information from images reduces page weight without compromising image quality. However, images need to be treated properly in advance.
The handling of EXIF orientation in JPEG images used to be vastly inconsistent a few years ago. Luckily, we now have better tools to deal with the issue today.
The script exifautotran1 was built for exactly this purpose. It determines the EXIF orientation and transforms the image accordingly. The transformation is performed using the low-level tool jpegtran which is provided by libjpeg. This has the added advantage that the transformation is potentially lossless.2
$ exifautotran myimage.jpeg
If you cannot use exifautotran for some reason, you can still use ImageMagick. It's
convert tool provides an
-auto-orient switch to normalize the EXIF orientation:
$ convert -auto-orient myimage.jpeg normalized.jpeg
Support for orientation normalization in Ameto is currently in the testing stage and will be rolled out soon.
EXIF orientation denotes how a camera was rotated when an image was shot. Image viewers use the orientation value in order to present the image with the correct orientation. The intermingling of image content and metadata increases requirements on the software side: 1) EXIF metadata and image content need to be manipulated together. 2) EXIF metadata takes up a significant chunk of total image size. Therefore, it is often desirable to strip images of all or most of the metadata. This, in turn, means that one needs to take special care when applying image optimization techniques. Tools like exifautotran or ImageMagick provide ways to normalize image orientation.

Navigate inside entity objects
Hi All, I am working on an application, where i have list of questions that need to be answered by user. I have all the question created already in a Master Entity and i am using this entity to show questions on a page where i have a template grid (4*4) showing all question number and data view (listing to list view ) to show the correspond questions. Now i have option to click on question numbers to show the question on right in a data view but i want a button also which will navigate me through the question. Like i am on question 1 and i click next and move to question 2. Is their any way by which i can achieve this? Thanks
1 answers
You can try doing the following
 1. In your entity you must have some attribute that determines the order of the question
 2. Develop two buttons in dataview (previous and next)
 3. When pressing the next button, retrieve the current object in dataview,
 4. Based on the order from the object, get the question with next order, pass it to the dataview and refresh it.
 5. I already have my doubts on this, but this is for you to try
Another option to try would be
 1. Try having a template grid showing all details of questions and limit the items shown to 1 with pagination enabled.
 2. But you can not have listen to widget option working between two template grids.


A new coalition in San Diego County is lobbying Congress to support a plan that calls for enhanced border enforcement, decreased legal immigration and the end of automatic citizenship for those born in the United States.
The platform from the San Diegans for Secure Borders Coalition comes as elected officials, business executives, law-enforcement leaders and grass-roots activists on various sides of the immigration debate are issuing their own proposals. Congress is debating what could be the largest revamp of the nation's immigration system since the 1980s.
Members of the Secure Borders Coalition said they want to show that many Americans do not support a pathway to U.S. citizenship for unauthorized immigrants living in this country. They also said the federal government must ensure border security before considering any legalization measure for the unauthorized.
The coalition was formed by San Diego residents Jeff Schwilk and Rob Luton. Its plan includes the following points: secure borders, enforce federal immigration laws, require all employers to use the E-Verify system, reduce legal immigration totals, end birthright citizenship, and fix and enforce the guest-worker system.
Legalization for immigrants living in the U.S. without permission would take place only after all the suggested security and enforcement measures are effective, the coalition said. The group's definition of legalization includes permission to stay and work, but not access to citizenship.

The lake of Burano is found on the Tuscany coast to south of the Argentario, the lago has an amplitude of approximately 400 hectares and is constituted from divided water salmastra from the sea from a earth border. The oasis is composed from a rigogliosa flora, wide cane field rows grows along the coast that separates the sea from the lago. In the inside verdeggianti prati, make space, during the autumnal season to the wide water mirrors, typical of the swampy zones. Between the plants that grow in these lands we remember the Giglio of sea, the marine Eringio, the Juniper, the Mirto and the Leccio. Between the fauna of the common oasis we find the Folaghe, the Fenicottero rose, the Fischione, the Cormorano and in spring the red Airone, the ghiandaia, the Cicogna white woman and other anchor. This area was proclamata protected oasis is in 1967, when the association of the Italian WWF verifying that the lago went gradually degrading itself, decided to take in management the entire zone.

An examination of municipal efforts to manage brownfields redevelopment in Ontario, Canada
Keywords:Brownfield, Contamination, Municipal, Planning, Canada
Since the mid-1990s, the reuse of brownfield properties for urban intensification has emerged as a core strategy in government efforts to remediate pollution and support renewal, regeneration, and retrofitting. While upper levels of government in Canada engaged in early efforts to devise policies, programs, and funding strategies to support redevelopment, the job of overseeing it has fallen mainly to local governments. This paper investigates the role of municipalities
in Ontario, Canada's most populous and industrialized province, in managing and facilitating brownfields redevelopment. Survey data from 43 municipalities, coupled with information gathered from six site visitations and provincial information, reveal that despite common goals, tools, and approaches put forward by Ontario municipalities
in their Community Improvement Plans, the management of planning, funding, and redevelopment issues continues to be a challenge for many, resulting in some very proficient municipalities and numerous hopeful ones with limited capacity to address this demanding issue.

What about grammar? The 3x PIC Rule: Point-Identify-Correct
Although we do not copy edit papers, we do not ignore grammatical, mechanical, and style problems in students' papers. Instead, we draw a student's attention to the error: POINT, ask if the student can recognize and IDENTIFY the error, and finally, ask if the student can CORRECT the error.
When you see a problem, ask if the student can identify the problem. If yes, ask the student to explain the problem, and then ask if the student can correct the problem. If the student cannot identify the problem, you should do that. If the student cannot correct the problem, you should help the student correct the problem.
Repeat this process three times. Each time, encourage the student to point out, identify, and then correct the error or problem. After that, encourage the student to complete corrections of the error during the revision process. If a student still has difficulty identifying and correcting the error, refer the student to one of the faculty writing tutors.
Remember the 3x PIC rule: Point—Identify—Correct—x3
