Use DataSets as Business Objects
Enhance the DataSet class with inheritance and extend its associated XML schema to hook validation checks and custom validation routines into DataSets declaratively.
P>Technology Toolbox: C#, XML
In a service-oriented application based on the application/domain architectural model, lightweight business objects are responsible for encapsulating their data to trigger proper field-level validation and validation of the whole set of data the business object manages (see the sidebar, "Understand Design Patterns"). Unfortunately,.NET's primary candidate for holding your business data—the ADO.NET DataSet—doesn't provide a natural way to encapsulate and protect the data it contains. The DataSet triggers events when data changes, but it delegates validation responsibilities to outer classes, thereby breaking the principles of encapsulation and self-containment. "Naked" DataSets might be acceptable for some simple applications, but larger applications require a better container.
The mainstream approach to this issue is to define your own business objects. This typically implies the definition of a layer super-type and a custom framework that provides low-level services, especially for Object-Relational (O-R) mapping. This solution has several benefits, but it has drawbacks too. First, it requires you to renounce the many tools and wizards in VS.NET that work on the DataSet data type—a high price to pay in terms of productivity. Second, you must develop your own O-R mapping routines instead of using the.NET Framework's out-of-the-box mapping tool—the DataAdapter class.
This article explores the easiest way to extend the DataSet class to make it protect its own data: augmenting the DataSet type with standard object-oriented programming and some runtime metadata-based techniques. This enables you to use both standard custom-validation code and a declarative approach to hook validation modules automatically into the DataSet object. Both types of code trigger automatically when the data is modified or saved.
You might wonder if extending typed DataSets is a viable solution for data encapsulation. Unfortunately, it isn't. The whole typed DataSet is regenerated after each schema change, so writing validation code within the typed field-setter methods isn't a realistic option. Also, even if you manage to protect typed setter methods, setter methods inherited from the DataRow base type aren't overridable, so you could bypass validation checks by setting values through indexers, as you do with untyped DataSets.
The approach I'll describe is based on the implementation of a DataSet-derived class that receives notifications of data changes from the DataSet it inherits from. The relevant notifications are DataTable's ColumnChanging event for single-field validation and DataTable's RowChanging event for row-wide validation. (The RowChanging event fires when row changes are committed with the EndEdit method.)
Create a New Class
You start by creating a new class called SmartDS, which inherits from System.Data.DataSet. This class hooks into the ColumnChanging and RowChanging events of all DataTables defined in DataSet. You hook into the DataTableCollection's CollectionChanged event in the SmartDS constructor (instead of iterating at some point through the collection of tables and hoping no tables will be added later):
public class SmartDS1 : DataSet {
 public SmartDS1() {
this.Tables.CollectionChanged += new
private void SchemaChangedHook(
 object sender, CollectionChangeEventArgs e) {
The preceding code guarantees a notification will occur when a table is added to DataSet, no matter how it's added. You hook the SchemaChangedHook method into the DataTable events you're interested in (and unhook it when tables are removed):
private void SchemaChangedHook(object
 sender, CollectionChangeEventArgs e)
if (e.Action ==
 CollectionChangeAction.Add ) {
if (e.Element is DataTable ) {
//hook into the ColumnChanging Event
 +=new DataColumnChangeEventHandler(
//hook into the RowChangin Event
((DataTable)e.Element).RowChanging +=new
else if (e.Action ==
 CollectionChangeAction.Remove ) {
//unsubscribe from row and column
//changing events
DS_ColumnChanging and DS_RowChanging are the two functions that receive ColumnChanging and RowChanging events, respectively.
You must inherit your application's DataSet from SmartDS in order to augment your DataSets with robust validation capabilities. The SmartDS base class exposes two protected virtual methods—OnColumnChanging and OnRowChanging, which you call within the DS_ColumnChanging and DS_RowChanging methods, respectively:
private void DS_ColumnChanging(object
 sender, DataColumnChangeEventArgs e)
OnColumnChanging(sender, e);
private void DS_RowChanging(object
 sender, DataRowChangeEventArgs e) {
OnRowChanging(sender, e);
virtual protected void
 OnColumnChanging(object sender,
 DataColumnChangeEventArgs e) {
//Inherited class will override this
//method to apply
//validation rules at field level
virtual protected void
 OnRowChanging(object sender,
 DataRowChangeEventArgs e) {
//Inherited class will override this
//method to apply
//validation rules at row level
DS_ColumnChanging and DS_RowChanging methods do nothing. They exist to let SmartDS subclasses override them. This technique pushes the events up to the actual business DataSet, where you can write your specific validation logic.
The SmartDS class also publishes a protected, overridable Validate method. You call it before the DataSet is persisted to the database in order to perform DataSet-wide validation. SmartDS subclasses override this method to provide specific validation logic (see Figure 1).
For example, this business DataSet inherits from SmartDS:
public class DSOrders1 : SmartDS1 {
 protected override void
 OnColumnChanging(object sender,
 DataColumnChangeEventArgs e) {
if(e.Column.ColumnName == "OrderDate" &&
 (DateTime)(e.ProposedValue) <
 throw new Exception(
 "Invalid value for OrderDate");
protected override void
 OnRowChanging(object sender,
 e) {
 //row level validation code
Hook Into Metadata
ADO.NET uses XML schema standards to describe the DataSet structure. I'll show you how you can use the DataSet schema to hook validation routines dynamically into a business DataSet at run time.
You can provide the schema to the DataSet from an external file before you load the data into the DataSet. Otherwise, ADO.NET infers the XML schema from the incoming data and generates the schema on the fly. The first option is faster, because you skip the infer process while loading the data. You can also generate the XML schema with the VS.NET built-in DataSet designer: You define the DataSet schema graphically by dropping tables from the Server Explorer and linking them with the appropriate relations.
A direct one-to-one mapping from database tables to DataSet tables is impossible in a complex scenario. You can't simply drag and drop; however, there's no constraint on how a DataSet can differ from the underlying database tables. The more they differ, the more you must develop ad hoc DataAdapter command objects.
XML's extensible nature makes it tempting to try to add custom information to the DataSet XML schema for hooking validation routines into the business DataSet at run time. Unfortunately, neither ADO.NET nor XML classes let you grab the XML schema element associated with a DataRow or DataTable instance easily. However, you have a way out. DataSet, DataTable, DataColumn, and DataRelation expose a property named ExtendedProperties, which returns a HashTable. You can set ExtendedProperties at run time and at design time. You must insert them into the DataSet XML schema to set them at design time. ExtendedProperties you set on the XML schema at design time are available at run time.
You can use this extensibility point to define a grammar within the XML schema to declare business-object-validation requirements at field, row, table, and DataSet level (see Listing 1). Fieldand row-validation rules trigger automatically (as you've seen already), and tableand DataSet-validation routines execute when the SmartDS' Validate method is called.
You can hook both "hard-coded" validations, such as regular expressions, and generic validation components whose names are declared in the XML schema. You can load and invoke them dynamically at run time by using their class and assembly names, because they implement a specific interface that acts as a contract between the validation modules and the SmartDS class.
The schema in Listing 1 includes a couple of basic validation rules: a "Field can't be null" rule attached to the CompanyName field, and a regular-expression rule attached to the Email field. Also, a couple of validation classes are attached to the Customer table—one for row-level validation and one for table-level validation.
You can change SmartDS' OnColumnChanging method to hook validation modules according to the directives you define in the ExtendedProperties HashTable (see Listing 2). This article's sample code includes additional related implementations.
OnColumnChanging is a long method, but you need to write it only once—in the SmartDS base class. Remember that subclasses can override this method, typically to add some more validation code to the metadata-based validation code. Subclasses must call the base-class method when they're done to trigger metadata-based validations (unless they have a good reason not to).
This code shows how a business DataSet overrides one of the validation methods:
protected override void
 OnColumnChanging(object sender,
 DataColumnChangeEventArgs e) {
//do some validation logic here
//then call metadata based validation
 base.OnColumnChanging (sender, e);
You can cache validation modules into something like a static HashTable, because they're stateless. This improves performance, because they're created only once during application execution.
Weigh the Pros and Cons
Using augmented ADO.NET DataSets as business objects provides a number of benefits. First, you can take advantage of ADO.NET's built-in O-R mapping support, which lets you use the DataAdapter class to feed and persist DataSets from the database. Second, you retain full data-binding support. Although


Configure a Local Printer Item
The Printers preference extension allows you to create, configure, and delete local printers by using the Local Printer preference item. Before you create a Local Printer preference item, you should review the behavior of each type of action possible with the extension.
Creating a Local Printer item
To create a new Local Printer preference item
 1. Open the Group Policy Management Console. Right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) that should contain the new preference item, and then click Edit.
 2. In the console tree under Computer Configuration or User Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the Control Panel Settings folder.
 3. Right-click the Printers node, point to New, and select Local Printer.
 4. In the New Local Printer Properties dialog box, select an Action for Group Policy to perform. (For more information, see "Actions" in this topic.)
 5. Enter local printer settings for Group Policy to configure or remove. (For more information, see "Local printer settings" in this topic.)
 6. Click the Common tab, configure any options, and then type your comments in the Description box. (For more information, see Configure Common Options.)
 7. Click OK. The new preference item appears in the details pane.
Actions
This type of preference item provides a choice of four actions: Create, Replace, Update, and Delete. The behavior of the preference item varies with the action selected and whether the printer connection already exists.
Create
Create a new local printer. If a local printer with the same name exists, then it does not modify it.
Delete
Remove a local printer with the same name. The extension performs no action if the local printer does not exist.
Important
This action does not remove the printer driver. It only removes the local printer.
Replace
Delete and recreate the local printer. The net result of the Replace action overwrites all existing settings associated with the local printer. If the local printer does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new local printer.
Update
Rename or modify a local printer. The action differs from Replace in that it updates the settings defined within the preference item. All other settings remain as they were previously configured. If the local printer does not exist, then the Update action creates a new local printer.
Local Printer settings
Connection Name
Type the name of the targeted local printer. The preference extension creates a new local printer with this name if the local printer does not exist. If the printer exists, the preference extension uses the local printer with this name as the target of the requested action. Press F3 to display a list of variables from which you can select.
Port
Choose a local port from the supplied list or type the name of the local port.
Printer path
Type or click Browse (…) to choose a fully qualified UNC path of a shared printer connection. The preference extension uses this shared connection as an installation source for the printer driver. The actual printer should be physically connected to the workstation.
Set this printer as the default printer
Select this check box to make the local printer the default Windows printer for the current user.
Location
Type text to describe where the printer is located. This information appears in the printer's Location box. Press F3 to display a list of variables from which you can select.
Comment
Type text that provides additional comments about the printer. This information appears in the printer's Comments box. Press F3 to display a list of variables from which you can select.
Additional considerations
 - You can use item-level targeting to change the scope of preference items.
 - Preference items are available only in domain-based GPOs.

Come discover the Town of Stephenville – the natural environment needed to turn a career into an educational adventure!
People and Culture
The Town of Stephenville, located on the north shore of St. George's Bay in southwestern Newfoundland, is 48 degrees north latitude and 58 degrees west longitude. This area was once known as the Acadian Village. From 1848 until 1870, Stephenville was called Indian Head. The name Stephenville was first introduced in 1874. The Acadian Village was a settlement which stretched along the coast from Kippens in the far west to Seal Cove in the far east. This covered a total distance of seven miles.
The Acadian Village consisted of a majority of Roman Catholics who fished and farmed to earn a living. The village was established because of poverty and strife existing in Nova Scotia and the excellent fishing grounds and farm land that western Newfoundland had to offer. Not many details are known about this era.
The Acadian Village was founded in 1844 by two English families. William Hunt and James Penney settled near the Blanche River. They were from Margaree, Cape Breton.
A year later, Felix Gallant and his family arrived. They lived in a hut that had been left by visiting French fishermen. In the same year, on September 3, they had a son and named him Stephen. The following year, they revisited Margaree to have their child baptized. While there, they told their friends about this new "Paradise" where there was exceptionally good arm land and pleasant weather. He persuaded some of his friends to return to Newfoundland with him. Things were hard during the early years of the Town. People did not have enough food or supplies to support themselves. The winter of _PHONE_ was one of the worse that they had experienced. The Gallants and other settlers faced many hardships.
There is still some controversy over how Stephenville got its name. Some believe that Stephen Gallant was the first person born in the area and the town was named after him. However, some believe that Stephen LeBlanc was the first born and that it is after him the town is named.
Since its beginning in May of 1844, Stephenville has grown. The first census report in 1844 cited 103 inhabitants in the area. Today there are over 8,000. Stephenville has grown into an efficient and vibrant community. Today it is the second largest community on Newfoundland's west coast. It provides an exceptional quality of life and has a high level of industrial activity.
Stephenville's past American influence is still very evident in the town. There still remain underground ammunition depots, large airstrips, aircraft hangars and the streets names after American states. Few reminders exist of our past prior to the Americans.
In 1941 the United States obtained rights to construct an air force base in the St. George's Bay area of Newfoundland. The U.S. 76th Congress approved the 99 year lease and in April, 1941, construction began.
The air force base was originally referred to as Stephenville Air Base; however, it was renamed Ernest Harmon Air Force Base in June 23, 1948, in honour of Captain Ernest Emery Harmon. Harmon was a U.S. Army Corps ace who was killed in an air crash in 1933.
On September 1, 1943, the Newfoundland Base Command transferred control of the Harmon Field to the North Atlantic Wing, Air Transport Command. The base became a part of the Northeast Air Command in October, 1950. Then in April of 1957, the Strategic Air Command assumed control.
The mandate of the base was to maintain a tanker alert force and its capability to meet and refuel Strategic Air Command jet bombers on route to targets. The KC-97 was employed in this task. The base was also used as a refuelling stop for transatlantic military flights. In addition, Harmon supported three Air Defence Command units.
In 1957, the Canadian Department of Transportation constructed an air terminal building to accommodate Trans Canada Airlines. 1966 saw the closure of the U.S. Air Force Base in Stephenville. The airport is now owned and operated by a local airport authority.
Stephenville Airport was officially designated as an alternate in the Trans Oceanic Plane Stop (TOPS) program on July 23, 1970. On April 1, 1990, the airport was further designated for alternate use, fuelling only, by international scheduled air transport and for international general aviation regular use.
In recent years, Stephenville has become a favourite technical stop for international flights on route to Europe.
The Town of Stephenville was built on the shores of Bay St. George, with the Table Mountains to the northwest and the Indian Head Range to the east and northeast. The Lewis Hills, the highest elevation on Newfoundland Island at 2672′ above sea level, lie at the coastline of Port au Port Bay about 20 kilometres north.
How to get here
Stephenville is only hours away from eastern North American cities by air. The largest runway in Newfoundland, in excess of 10,000 feet, Stephenville Airport is ideally located and equipped to service both domestic and international flights.
By way of Route 460 or 490, Stephenville is 166 kilometres from the Marine Atlantic ferry terminal in Channel-Port aux Basques. A regular trans-island bus service, DRL Coach Lines, makes regular daily stops in Stephenville.

I know that a certain amount of education is necessary before men can be ordained as a Catholic priest. But are all men that received the necessary education ordained as priests? If not, what is the selection process? And how are they assigned to a specific parish?

While assigning priests, bishop's sense of humor might play a significant role. Once a man named Mrtvý (it means "Dead" in Czech) was ordained for a priest and assigned to a town called Hrob (it means "Grave"). Recently in the same diocese, Kamil Škoda was ordained and he was assigned to Mladá Boleslav, where is a Škoda car factory. – Pavel Aug 3 '13 at 10:56

Many vocational offices explain this process in detail (the Diocese of Fall River has a good explanation, for example), but I'll try to explain it as best I know.
 1. There are two different "tracks": the diocesan track, where you are ordained as part of a diocese, and the religious track, where you are ordained as part of a religious order. You seem to be interested in the former, so this answer mostly answers to that. The processes are similar, it's just a question of where you end up.
 2. Priests are, to put it somewhat bluntly, proxies for the bishop. A bishop cannot perform all the duties required of him for everyone, so the priests act as surrogates, performing many of the functions that are needed to successfully tend to the flock. In many ways, the process is about finding suitable matches for the bishops who need more priests: this is sort of the short answer to your question (the bishop decides).
 3. One way to understand the full Ordination process and how the bishop makes his selection is to think of it like a very long, very structured introspection. Accepting the Sacrament of Holy Orders is a huge deal, one that will shape the rest of a person's life. The time in Seminary Formation and up to the Rite of Ordination into the Priesthood is basically the trial run period to see whether a person really, truly wants to commit to the life of a priest: committing one's life to the Church, taking a vow of celibacy, etc.
The process starts off something like a Ph.D. track education in academia: when you go towards getting your Ph.D., you usually find out that you're interested in it during undergraduate school, then you go through an application process, then a core education (Master's) process, then you move into the meat of actually getting a Ph.D. (doctoral thesis).
Similarly, the path to ordination starts off with talking to a priest or other members of one's parish about being interested Holy Orders. The person will then apply to the diocese office of vocations, usually answering some basic questions about why they want to begin the process (example from the Archdiocese of Portland, PDF).
The vocation director will then make contact to begin the application process. This usually consists of a series of interviews, getting letters of recommendation, background checks, and other vetting processes to make sure the person has a high likelihood of succeeding.
Once accepted, the Bishop assigns the person to a seminary (with the recommendation of the vocations director) where they begin the process of Seminary Formation: they'll learn everything they need to know to begin the transition into the clergy. Simultaneously (if they don't already have it), they'll be receive the education to get a Master's Degree in Divinity (generally a requirement to receive Holy Orders).
They'll also begin the process of introspection and guidance to determine whether or not this is something really want to do and whether or not God is calling them to Holy Orders. This is done under the guidance of the vocation director who recruited them.1
Towards the end of Seminary Formation, men are ordained to the diaconate2 as a transitional deacon: similar to a permanent deacon, but with the understanding that they will soon be ordained a priest (usually in about 6 months).
It's at this point the bishop assigns them to a parish. This is sort of a "last chance" period to change one's mind and to start helping with the Liturgy in a real-world setting. The person is still in Seminary, but it's something like a "work-study" or "student teacher" program: he'll split his time between completing Seminary and doing the duties of a deacon.
At the end of Seminary, successful candidates undergo the Rite of Ordination into the Priesthood. Amongst other activities, the bishop will ask them a series of questions to make certain they'll ready to undergo the call of Holy Orders, but this is largely a formality: the Seminary Formation process was intended to weed out the candidates who would not make a good fit long before this moment. Think of it like a "swearing in" ceremony: candidates are going to know beforehand the answer is "yes", "I do", or "I will" to every question asked.
After which, the bishop will consecrate the candidates via the Laying on of Hands and ordain them into the Priesthood.
Once Ordained, priests serve under the bishop. The bishop can work with other bishops to transfer priests between dioceses depending on the needs of the Church.
1 It's important to note here that not everyone who goes through this process becomes a priest: many are never called by the Holy Spirit to receive Holy Orders and withdraw from the process within the first couple of years of Seminary.
2 If you're not familiar with the term, a Deacon is someone who is able to perform many sacraments one usually associates with a Priest: conduct sermons, baptize, and oversee marriages. But they can't do things like confer Holy Orders themselves or consecrate the bread and the wine used in the Eucharist (but they can help administer it).

Thank you for this very thorough and informative answer. It is fascinating for me to see the practical similarities with ministerial training in the Church of Scotland, despite the differences in philosophy. – James T Oct 16 '11 at 2:43
I had no idea that the Roman Catholic Church performed any sacraments with the laying on of hands. Is ordination the only time it is used? That's what the wiki article seems to imply, but doesn't specifically state. – user23 Oct 16 '11 at 6:17
_USER_ It's also done during Confirmation; I didn't think there was any other usage, but the Catholic Encyclopedia mentions a form of its use during baptism. On the non sacrament side, it's also used during exorcisms. – user72 Oct 16 '11 at 7:37
Mark's answer was exceptional an complete so I'll just add an anecdote I heard a few weeks ago relating to the way priests are formed and trained.
While they're going through schooling (seminary) they're consistently being tested in ways they're not used to being tested. For instance, man who doesn't do well with death is put in a hospital and a man who doesn't do well with kids is put in a school. So the positions they have later in their priesthood are probably informed by their performance in priestly formation.
Also, when a priest (diocesan priest) is starting out he's usually not the one left in charge all by himself, so more than likely he's going to go to a place where there both is a need for another priest and that need doesn't need to be filled by an experienced priest. So new priests don't usually get sent out to Podunk Ohio until they're a few years into it.
Beyond that, it's a crapshoot and only the Bishop (who is the head of quite a number of parishes generally covering a geographic area) gets to decide based on his preferences. Often times stellar priests are given the more challenging assignments (and bigger parishes) but you can't really judge a priest by the size of his congregation. If a Bishop really likes a priest he'll make him a Monsignor (which has a slightly ironic meaning). From what I can tell, and this is speculation because it can't really be documented anywhere, Bishops favor obedience, prayer and managerial skills. So, in general those factors will determine the direction and duration of a given priest's stay.

What Is Cajun Food?
It seems that the word Cajun is thrown around when it comes to describing all of New Orleans food and it always seems to be referring to spicy food. Just because a restaurant ads a little bit of pepper does not make it Cajun and not all spicy food is Cajun food. So what exactly is Cajun Food?

A Little Cajun History
Cajuns are actually an ethnic group mainly living in Louisiana. They are descendants of Acadian exiles who were French-Speakers from Acadia which was mainly Nova Scotia, Eastern Part of Quebec, Northern Maine, and some of the Maritime Provinces. The Cajuns settled in four regions in South Louisiana: Coastal Marshes (New Orleans Area and Houma), Swamplands of the Atchafalya Basin, Prairies in the Attakapas Indian Land and the Levees and Bayous of Lafourche and Teche. When the Cajuns moved to Louisiana, their language evolved to a unique French dialect that is called Cajun French. The Cajuns developed a unique culture filled with wonderful stories, Cajun Music and of course Cajun Food. Recipes and dishes are passed down for generations.
I used to watch my mother, Ida, prepare everything from gumbo to fried chicken and even fried calf's brain and corn maque choux. This is how I began to appreciate good Cajun Food and I began to learn how to cook myself.

What is Cajun Food?
Early Cajuns did not have modern cooking luxuries like refrigerators. As a result, they learned to incorporate every part of the animal into their dishes. Whether they are making Boudin (Cajun Sausage) or Andouille Sausage, the unique Cajun seasoning flare will tantalize your senses. But, the one thing you can count on is The Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity consists of onion, celery and bell pepper. The Holy Trinity seasoning combination is the starter for almost every Cajun dish. Then, garlic, paprika, thyme, parsley, and green onions are combined to create that unique Cajun flavor.
Cajun And Creole Food are NOT the same!
These food styles cannot be intertwined and are certainly not the same. The Cajuns and Creoles are two distinct cultures with their own distinct food styles and flavors. Creoles originally came from Europe, French and Spanish mostly, and settled in New Orleans. Creole seasoning is composed of herbs like oregano, bay leaf, basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley and paprika.

Hyperbole, rhetoric don't address compliance costs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hyperbole and rhetoric don't address compliance costs say Chartered Accountants
According to the Institute of Chartered Accountants, unions, business and government need to work together to reduce business compliance costs.
The Institute's director of government relations, David Pickens, said that the issue isn't as simple as a need for more or less regulation.
Pickens said no one in their right mind would moan about – for example – good quality industrial safety rules. But the real problem is the overall poor quality of the rules businesses have to work with.
"The CTU describing the compliance concerns of business as an "annual moan" simply demonstrates the need for a change of attitudes before progress can be made reducing the compliance burden," he said.
"Unnecessary and poor quality regulation makes it harder for business to generate income, create jobs, and provide consumer goods and services at reasonable costs."
"The Institute is concerned that small businesses in particular may be ignorant of, and therefore not complying with, many of the rules and regulations that apply to their businesses. They have simply reached regulation overload."
"Government must be more discerning in the obligations they put on business. And this isn't just about reducing compliance costs. It is also about achieving the government's own regulatory objectives."
"If voted to Select Committee, the Regulatory Responsibility Bill currently before Parliament will give everyone the opportunity to debate these issues. It is important that New Zealand takes the opportunity to move beyond short-term palliative compliance cost reviews and talk fests to find more enduring solutions, solutions the recent compliance cost survey so clearly demonstrates we need."
"The Institute hopes that unions, business groups and others take the opportunity to encourage Parliament to have the debate and fundamentally improve New Zealand's regulatory framework."

Potassium tantalate with perovskite structure (KTaO3) is an incipient ferroelectric material that has promising functions in electromechanical and sensing sectors. Potassium tantalate with pyrochlore structure (K2Ta2O6) appears promising in a photocatalystic field. Potassium tantalate powders and bulks were fabricated at high temperature such as over 400°C from Ta2O5 and KOH. A sheet of tantalum was hard to react with potassium hydroxide in the mild hydrothermal condition at 100–150°C and low alkaline concentrations (0–2 M). Pyrochlore potassium tantalate film was synthesized with a mild hydrothermal method (100–150°C) at short reaction time by using a sputtered tantalum substrate on ITO glass. Synthesis of this film employed significantly low concentrations of KOH solution (0.1–1 M). The potassium tantalate film fabricated by the hydrothermal condition of 0.5 M-KOH solution, 100°C and 3 h reaction time was a smooth surface and became transparent. The particle size of this film was 150 nm.

The flag of Haiti consists of two different colored horizontal bands, with the national coat of arms at the center. The top band is bright blue in color, while the bottom band is red. The coat of arms of Haiti is made up of two yellowish-gold colored cannons faced in opposite directions on top of a green hill. A drum with two axes is located between the cannons and six flags are located behind the cannons (3 on each side). Running down the center of this image is a palm tree wearing a hat, known as the Liberty Cap. A white banner sits at the bottom of the hill with the Latin phrase meaning "Strength in Unity." The flag of Haiti was officially adopted on February 26, 1986, when the country began its transition to democracy. However, the flag's design was previously used from 1859 until 1964 under the First Haitian Republic.
Symbolism of the Flag of Haiti
Residents of Haiti celebrate National Flag Day on May 18th of every year, which is a day for Haitians to celebrate the original creation of the flag. The original design is believed to have been created by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who led the Haitian revolution. Oral histories suggests that the revolutionary figure ripped apart the French flag, removing and discarding its white center band. Dessalines gave the remaining blue and red pieces to his goddaughter, Catherine Flon, so that she could sew them together. Maintaining this story and two of the three colors of the French flag symbolizes the history of Haiti and its ability to achieve independence. Some accounts suggest that the blue and red colors are meant to represent the ethnicities living in this country. Additionally, the coat of arms is said to represent independence and freedom, which are symbolized by the palm tree at its center and the weapons on the hill.
Variations of the Flag
A variation of the current flag of Haiti lacks the center image of the coat of arms. This simple bi-color flag is used as a civil flag, which means it is flown by civilians and private businesses. The variation also serves as the national ensign, which means it is flown on a number of non-governmental water vessels.
From 1625 until 1804, prior to Haiti's independence from France, its flag was white with the image of the French crown over a blue shield that held three fleur-de-lis. After the revolution, Haiti adopted a vertical bi-color of black and red that was only used for two years. This flag was followed by the flag of the State of Haiti, from 1806 until 1811, but substituted the black color for dark blue. As a kingdom, Haiti reverted back to the black and red bicolor flag, but changed the positions of the colors. From 1811 until 1814, the flag had a golden image of two lions holding a shield with a bird rising from flames. In 1814 this center image was changed to a blue disc with a crown on top. The colors of the current flag were first adopted in 1848, although its center image included two lions holding a shield with a bird, as well as the royal palm tree used today.

Making calls to regular phones
Making calls to phones is done in the same manner as Making calls between users.
Here's the example code of the server scenario:
VoxEngine.forwardCallToPSTN();
After you created this scenario you may make call from Web SDK like this:
VoxImplant.getInstance().call("_PHONE_");
And the call will be made to the desired phone number.
You should keep in mind that VoxImplant thinks that all phone numbers are in the international (E.164) format (country code+area code+number), so if you want to make it possible for a caller to enter a number in some other format, you will need to convert it to the international format. This can be done on the client side (if you use the Web SDK, you can process user input) or in the call scenario.
If you want to do that in the call scenario, you will need to pass an extra parameter to forwardCallToPSTN function:
 1. VoxEngine.forwardCallToPSTN(function(number){
 2. //Process number here
 3. });
This function will accept a dialed number as a parameter and will return the number in the international format. For example, if you want to let people enter a number like they would if they were calling from the United States, you could write the following code:
 1. VoxEngine.forwardCallToPSTN(function(number){
 2. if (number.length > 3) {
 3. if (number.substr(0,3) == "011") {
 4. //Trim long distance prefix
 5. return number.substr(3);
 6. }
 7. }
 8. //Add country code "1" for local and long distance calls.
 9. return number + "1";
 10. });
If you need to handle failures as well, please read the article Advanced call processing.

The Envisioning Inclusive FUTURES Summit Proceedings have been published by the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center for Wireless Technologies (Wireless RERC) on our website. The Summit focused on 1) key social, economic, political and technological forces at play in the migration from legacy, analog technologies to mobile, digital technologies, and 2) the consequential futures for people with disabilities. The Proceedings concluded that a variety of technological solutions exist whether discussing the present or the future, and more are under development, to facilitate the ability of people with disabilities to engage in life activities. Transformative ideas and common visionary themes addressed wireless technologies and systems that could stimulate inclusive solutions such as robotics, wearables, the Internet of Things, next-generation emergency communications and alerts, and assistive intelligence for auditory and visual navigation. Looking to an inclusive future, not only were research and policy agenda items identified, but also challenges and recommendations on how to reach a future of inclusiveness. Following are a few findings:
- Usability is critical – technology needs to be "out of the box" ready. The design process should be enhanced so that devices be intuitively usable, or conversely, be easily personalizable.
- Education, outreach and awareness efforts should be dynamic and integral to both ongoing and adaptive/changing environments. This is in reference to not only technology, but to the changing circumstances of people with disabilities.
- Products and services should be universally designed and also take into account cultural sensitivity.
The visionary theme from the opening to the concluding dialog emphasized: A transformative future is an inclusive future. This became the key take-away for reinforcing the Wireless RERC's commitment to ensure an accessible mobile wireless future for people with disabilities.

Beautiful, pious and virtuous daughter of the 5th century Welsh king, Brychan of Brecknock. A certain Maelon fell in love with her, and wished to marry her. Though Dwynwen returned his love, her heart was set on becoming a nun, and she rejected him. She dreamt she was given a sweet drink which saved her from his attentions, but which turned the poor young man to ice. Realising that Maelon couldn't help his love for her, she prayed that he be restored to life, that all lovers should find happiness, and that she never have the desire for marriage. Dwynwen became a nun and lived on Llanddwyn Island on the western coast of Ynys Mon (Anglesey), an area accessible only at low tide.
Her well, a fresh-water spring called Ffynnon Dwynwen, became a wishing well and place of pilgrimage, particularly for lovers because of the story above. The tradition grew that the eel in the well could foretell the future for lovers – ask questions and watch which way they turn. Women would scatter breadcrumbs on the surface, then lay her handkerchief on water's surface; if the eel disturbed it, her lover would be faithful. All this led to her connection with animals, which eventually led to the tradition that her intercession could heal injured animals.
There are churches dedicated to her in Wales and Cornwall. In recent years, her feast day has become increasingly popular among the Welsh with cards being sent just as on Valentine's Day, and her well continues to be a place of pilgrimage.

Threshold electrolyte concentration and dispersive potential in relation to CROSS in dispersive soilsAlla Marchuk A B and Pichu Rengasamy A
A The University of Adelaide, Soil Science, Waite Campus, South Australia 5064, Australia.
B Corresponding author. Email: _EMAIL_

Submitted: 21 May 2012 Accepted: 22 August 2012 Published: 25 September 2012
We have used the newly developed concept of CROSS (cation ratio of soil structural stability) instead of SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) in our study on dispersive soils. CROSS incorporates the differential dispersive powers of Na and K and the differences in the flocculating effects of Ca and Mg. The CROSS of the dispersed soil solutions, from the differently treated soils of three soil types varying in clay content, mineralogy, and organic matter, was highly correlated with the amount of clay dispersed. The relation between CROSS and exchangeable cation ratio depended on soil type, and particularly organic matter and the content and mineralogy of clay. Threshold electrolyte concentration of the flocculated suspensions was significantly correlated with CROSS of the dispersed suspensions. The cationic flocculating charge of the flocculated suspensions, which incorporates the individual flocculating powers of the cations, was significantly correlated with CROSS. However, these types of relations will depend on several soil factors even within a given soil class. Therefore, we have derived the dispersive potential of an individual soil from which we calculated the required cationic amendments to maintain flocculated soils and their structural integrity.

size="2"> } finally { LeaveCriticalSection(); }} except(ExceptionFilter()) { ReportException();} Assuming that ExceptionFilter() returns EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER, in what order will these functions be called? It goes like this:EnterCriticalSection();DoSomething();RaiseException();ExceptionFilter();LeaveCriticalSection();ReportException(); ... that is, the exception filter--which is deciding how to deal with the exception--is called before the termination handlers on the stack are executed. This is pretty obvious if you recall that with a continuable exception, the filter may return EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION, causing execution to resume from the point where the exception was raised. In that case, DoSomethingElse() would be called, and you wouldn't want to have left the critical section--that'll happen when DoSomethingElse() returns. The implications get interesting. If an exception filter is wrapping code the author doesn't control (say, it's making a call into some other dll), it can't know very much about the state of the thread and the system. The thread might be impersonating, it might be holding locks, who knows? This limits what the exception filter can do. For instance, if the thread faulted in the heap, it might be holding the heap lock (since the heap lock's dropped in a termination handler); another thread might be holding the loader lock and attempting to acquire the heap lock, so if the faulting thread blocks on the loader lock, it'll deadlock. It takes some thought to get this right. The moral is, unless you fully understand and control the code your exception filter is wrapping, you can't make assumptions about the state of the system in your exception filter.

- The TAG-5000 Wireless Phaser is designed to perform many of the existing functions of conventional voltmeter/phaser devices. However, the TAG-5000 uses state-of-the-art technology to eliminate the cord and lighten the weight of this important testing device.
- The TAG-5000 Phase-Free® Wireless Phaser provides a unique method of phasing across a single-phase or three-phase system to make certain that correct polarity has been established prior to "closing-in" a switch.
- The TAG-5000 consists of two units, a transmitter and receiver, which communicate via radio frequency signal. This eliminates the need for a connecting cord found on traditional phasing sets and makes the instrument quicker and easier to operate.
- Since the units communicate via radio signals, the range of operation is extended to nearly 35 feet and can operate through walls or partitions.
- The TAG-5000 can be used for all overhead and underground phasing applications with appropriate underground probes and is ideal for use at higher voltages – up to 230kV – where safety and ease-of-use are prime considerations.
- The TAG-5000 transmitter initially acts as a voltage detector when placed on a conductor to confirm the line is energized. It then transmits a signal in relation to the phase reference of that conductor. The receiver indicates by LED lights and an audible alarm signal if the conductor is in-phase with the conductor the transmitter is contacting.
- No connecting cord between transmitter and receiver
- Phase through walls and metal enclosures
- Perform phasing operations up to 33 feet apart
- Phase conductors on system voltages up to 230kV (phase-to-phase)
- Clear indications of in-phase/out-of-phase conditions with both audible and visual indications

i have been searching for a simple power monitor that can be easily installed and has a number of inputs for current clamps
the emonTx seems perfect for this, but it looks like it can only be used in combination with the emonPi
My main concern is that the measurement device has to be SNMP enabled, but i cant find any reference to SNMP on the site or forum
does anyone know if i can use the emonTx as a stand alone unit that i can get measurements from using SNMP ?
No, the emonTx (and the emonTx Arduino Shield) does not have to be used with the emonPi. The emonTx can use the serial interface to talk to, for example, the ESP8266 and its Wi-Fi interface, or the emonTx Shield on an Arduino with Ethernet can do likewise over a wired connection. There are threads here about using the ESP8266, which a search will find.
Whether you can use the standard sketches, or whether modification will be needed to give your the SNMP protocol, I don't know. As it stands, the standard sketch sends the data autonomously every 10 s, but you could easily modify that to read and send on command.
Both the emonTx and the emonTx Shield have inputs for one voltage monitor and up to four current transformers, but if you are monitoring a 3-phase system, that means some assumptions have to be made regarding the voltage balance between phases.

The Underappreciated Cost-Saving Potential of Personalized Medicine in Health Reform Debate
The current draft includes comparative effectiveness research but does not provide nearly as much funding as is needed for CER.
 - Harry Glorikian
From the headlines over the past few months, it appears that Washington is overlooking the value of personalized medicine in reducing healthcare costs. This is quite unfortunate, as the potential for savings is significant. Here are three examples of cost-saving diagnostics and some thoughts on how personalized medicine relates to health reform legislation under consideration, and what it may mean for stakeholders.
Genomic Health's Oncotype Dx is a test with compelling cost-saving potential. It is used to predict chemotherapy benefit for patients who have node-negative, estrogen receptor positive (node-, ER+) breast cancer. By averting unnecessary chemotherapy, the test has been shown to save about $2,000 per patient. Extending this cost savings to the roughly 100,000 new cases of node-, ER+ breast cancer in the U.S. each year, this test could save the U.S. healthcare system up to approximately $200 million a year or about $2 billion over the 10-year time horizon under legislative consideration.
Another test frequently mentioned for its cost-saving potential is XDx' Allomap. This noninvasive test is used instead of biopsies in the management of heart transplant patients after surgery. The total potential cost savings is estimated at roughly $20 million per year (about $12 million for payors as well as approximately $8 million for hospitals and transplant centers). Over the 10-year time frame being considered by legislators, the test could lead to savings of about $200 million.
These examples of cost-effective diagnostics are but a prelude to an era of cost-effective personalized medicine. The real potential is in better targeting expensive drugs to those who will benefit from them, thereby both cutting wasteful expenditure and decreasing adverse events associated with treating nonresponders.
For example, Genentech/Roche's Avastin costs $50–$100,000 per year of treatment but works in fewer than 50% of patients. Given that Avastin may generate $12 billion in peak sales, this low rate of efficacy translates into billions of dollars in misdirected healthcare spending. A test for Avastin response, such as that in discovery by BG Medicine, could save the system as much as $6 billion per year if all nonresponders could be removed from the treatment pool. Assuming that a test of this sort is introduced at the beginning of 2013 and is 100% adopted, cumulative savings of $40 billion could be realized by 2019.
This scenario, in which a drug with high sales but low efficacy is targeted by diagnostics companies, may become a pattern in the near future, multiplying cost savings.
Healthcare Reform
The federal government has a clear interest in personalized medicine. A recent report entitled "Paving the Way for Personalized Medicine" by Michael Rugnetta and Whitney Kramer, both from the Center for American Progress, nicely summarizes the involvement of various government entities in personalized medicine. The report describes programs in the FDA, National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), NIH, CDC, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), American Medical Association (AMA), and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
Further, President Obama is no stranger to personalized medicine; in 2007, then-Senator Obama sponsored the Genomics and Personalized Medicine Acts of 2007 and 2008, which sought, in part, to unify the federal government's personalized medicine efforts.
Scientia, however, has been able to identify only one significant piece of health reform legislation that promotes the role of personalized medicine. The draft released September 22 by the Senate Finance Committee incorporates the Senate comparative effectiveness research (CER) bill, known as the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Act of 2009 (S. 1213), which seeks to establish a private, not-for-profit entity known as the Patient-Centered Outcomes Institute (PCOI). Through the PCOI's activities, the bill promotes personalized medicine in three ways.
First, CER conducted by the PCOI will use methods including "primary research such as randomized clinical trials, molecularly informed trials, and observational studies." Second, CER will "be designed as appropriate to take into account the potential for differences in the effectiveness of healthcare treatments, services, and items as used with various subpopulations, such as…groups of individuals with different co-morbidities, genetic and molecular subtypes, or quality-of-life preferences." Third, "members appointed to the methodology committee shall be experts in their scientific field such as health services research, clinical research, comparative effectiveness research, biostatistics, genomics, and research methodologies."
Taken together these provisions give personalized medicine a home in the context of comparative effectiveness research.
While these provisions hold promise for the future of personalized medicine, a material impact is far from certain. With proposed government funding for the PCOI ranging from a mere $10 million to $150 million each year, the institute may not have the fire power to be a significant driver of personalized medicine.
What is more, the provisions mentioned must survive the Senate Finance Committee, the Senate floor, a compromise with the House of Representatives, as well as the President's veto pen to become law. Finally, for the potential cost savings to materialize, the PCOI must execute on the vision it is charged with realizing.
Too Soon to Tell Whether Reform Will Bolster Personalized Medicine
With personalized medicine, the question has never been "if" but rather "when." Personalized medicine, particularly diagnostics that allow better use of drugs, will decrease costs and improve outcomes in a material fashion in the coming decade, creating a number of opportunities and threats for each stakeholder to carefully assess.
The key question is whether government action, particularly health reform, will accelerate this trend, thus magnifying the urgency of this strategic calculus. Given the uncertainties summarized above, we conclude that it is still too soon to tell. That said, it is clear that forces in both the private and public sectors are aligning around a future in which healthcare markets are segmented by molecular subtypes, and stakeholders should not allow themselves to be caught flat-footed.

Hemlata's Inspiring Journey To Launch A Millet Bakery In Chhattisgarh Under Startup India
Hemlata from Chhattisgarh established a startup based on Millets
Before knowing about Hemlata and Hemlata's startup, let's know something about Millets. There was a time when certain grains could be grown easily in any environment in every state of India. Neither do they need much water nor are they affected by cold or sunlight.
Year 2023 – International Year of Millets
This grain, which can be easily grown anywhere, was the main diet of the country's large population. Not only was it easy to plant, it also did not require maintenance or pesticides. Due to its affordability, these grains became a staple on every household's dining table. These grains were millets, which are today called superfoods. To bring this superfood to the plate of every home again, the government has declared the year 2023 as the International Year of Millets.
Which grains are included in Millets?
In the 60s, when the country faced a shortage of grains, the Green Revolution started, where wheat and paddy crops began growing in the fields of almost all the farmers. Millets remained limited to small farmers or some states only. One such state is Chhattisgarh, where the importance of Millets was seen from the beginning. Ragi, Kodo, Kutki, Sawna are found in almost all the houses, and in these houses, dishes like Cheela, Murku, Roti, etc. are made from them.
Millet Bakery is a healthy substitute for fast food
Healthy substitutes for fast food are not easily available in the market, or the alternatives available are too heavy on the common man's pocket. The work of filling this significant gap in the market was done by Hemlata Deshmukh, who is running a millet bakery in the steel city Bhilai of Durg district and providing people millet options for fast food.
Millet Bakery started
Hemlata's Millet Bakery was started in 2023, but she started her research in 2014 during her B.Tech agriculture studies. Hemlata also chose Millet as the subject of her thesis.
Hemlata says that the history of Millet in the country is about 5000 years old. During research, it was found that it has been described in Yajurveda. I got information about millet products in MBA Agriculture, and from there, I understood that the market for millet products in Chhattisgarh is quite significant. To fill this gap of healthy substitutes in the market, Hemlata adopted the startup path.
How to start millet related business?
For Millet Bakery, Hemlata used the Startup India initiative of the Government of India as a medium. In 2018, Millet Bakery's idea was submitted to the National Agricultural Development Scheme (RKVY) of the Agriculture Department under Startup India. After the concept was selected by RKVY, Hemlata was given training in millets, millets products, machinery for bakery, and its operation in several phases by Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur.
Any young entrepreneur who wants to work on a business model related to agriculture can take advantage of this scheme. More information about RKVY can be obtained by visiting rkvy.nic.in
Benefits from the scheme regarding millet business
On becoming the beneficiary of the scheme, Hemlata received Rs 5 lakh in 2 phases.. This fund was received for machinery. Infrastructure costs are not included in this. If we talk about the total cost, the bakery was set up for 8 lakh rupees.
Machines required for Millet Bakery
- Planetary mixer
- Pulverizer flour mill
- Measuring machine
- Packaging and Sealing Machine
According to the production of the product, different sizes of these machines are easily available in the market. Through these machines Hemlata produces the following millet products:
Eggless Millet Cake and Cup Cakes
- Ragi Cake and Cups
- Kodo Cakes and Cups
- Sorghum Cakes and Cups
- Multi Millet Cake and Cups
Eggless Millet Cookies
- Ragi Vanilla and Chocolate Cookies
- Jowar Cardamom Cookies
- Kodo Cumin Celery Cookies
- Millet Pizza
- Ragi Malt Powder (Cardamom + Chocolate)
- Ragi Vanilla Cake Premix
- Ragi Chocolate Cake Premix
- Ragi Chilla Premix
- Ragi Appe Premix
- Sava Fruity Muruku
- Kodo Muruku
Benefits of processing millet
Hemlata told that these products are also good because many companies selling millet products use flour for binding, but Hemlata continuously experimented for many years and created such products which have zero flour. Not only this, the shelf life of these products is also good. The biggest problem with millet products is their shelf life, because these products get spoiled quickly.
Apart from this, Hemlata is working only on premix of millet bread, bun, millet dosa and idli without preservatives.
What are the benefits of eating millets?
She is also supplying her millet products to some dieticians of Durg, Bhilai. One of her customers is a diabetic patient, who is now using products made from ragi roti, cheela and sava.
Profit in processing millets
Hemlata told that there was a lot of trouble in the initial days of the startup. Whatever the cost was, it was difficult to cover it. Millet production has just started on a large scale in Chhattisgarh. Before this there was no commercial production. Because of this, the price of raw material was very high. Apart from this, making people aware was also a big challenge in itself. Now the situation has changed and they are getting about 40 percent profit on their products.
Encouragement to millet cultivation
As a result of encouragement to the cultivation of millet by the state government, the inclination of farmers is increasing rapidly towards the cultivation of Kodo, Kutki and Ragi. To promote millets production in the state, it has also been included in Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana. Under this, to encourage farmers producing millets, input assistance of Rs 9,000 per acre is also being given.
Support price of millets
The minimum support price (MSP) of Kodo-Kutki has been fixed at Rs 3,000 per quintal and that of Ragi at Rs 3,377 per quintal by the state government. In the last season, farmers had sold 34 thousand 298 quintals of millets at the support price for Rs 10 crore 45 lakh.
State Received national award for millets production
Under the Millet Mission, a tripartite agreement has been signed with IIMR Hyderabad for 14 districts with the efforts of Chhattisgarh State Minor Forest Produce Association for promotion of millet cultivation in Chhattisgarh, training to farmers, availability of high quality seeds and increase in productivity. The idea behind this is to double the productivity of millet. Due to promoting the cultivation of millets, Chhattisgarh state has also received the National Level Nutritious Grain Award 2022.
What is Millet Cafe?
With the aim of making millet products made by self-help groups available to the general public and making people aware about millet, millet cafes have been opened in many districts of the state.
Millet Carnival organized
For wide publicity of millet in the state, Millet Carnival was organized which witnessed interest from a large number of people.
Marketing is important in millets
Hemlata says that marketing of millet products is important. It is important to form an organization of people producing millet products so that we can directly connect with the government. He says that if the people working at the grassroots level are directly connected with the government, then everyone associated with the millets will benefit from it.
Contact us – If farmers want to share any valuable information or experiences related to farming, they can connect with us via phone or whatsapp at _PHONE_ or you can write to us at "_EMAIL_". Through Kisan of India, we will convey your message to the people, because we believe that if the farmers are advanced then the country is happy.


Alexander Fidora – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
Invited to speak at the honorary lecture series of the Albertus-Magnus-Institut in 2019, A. Fidora has now published a pioneering monograph in the prestigious Lectio Albertina-series which presents essential results of his ERC-project on "The Latin Talmud". This reappraisal of the history of the Jewish people in thirteenth-century Europe is a major contribution to historical and social justice. At the same time, exploring the historical interactions between Christians and Jews is crucial for understanding Europe's cultural and political identity, which was shaped not only by Christianity, but also by Judaism and Islam. This study brings to light the historical foundations of religious (in)tolerance, and underscores the necessity of protecting religious and cultural diversity in Europe.
