piece of original theatre,
created from a starting
point, which is presented to
Students at HL and SL collaboratively create and present an original piece of theatre (lasting 13
15 minutes) to a specified target audience from a starting point selected by the ensemble. They
submit a process portfolio (15 pages maximum) which documents their own individual approaches
and skills, the exploration of the starting point selected by the ensemble, the nature of the
collaboration and the students individual contribution to the creation and presentation of the piece
of theatre. The student submits a video recording (4 minutes maximum) in support of the process
portfolio which the student selects from the unedited video recording of the created piece.
Perspectiveall students approach this task in the role of collaborative creators of original theatre
within an ensemble.
Structuring the process portfolio
The process portfolio may be up to 15 pages in length and can contain a variety of materials in
different formats (such as text, visuals, diagrams and so on) depending on the nature of the
project. It should demonstrate the dynamic stages of a creative process; preparation, action,
Any illustrations, charts, mind maps, visuals, diagrams or designs used within the process portfolio
must be clearly annotated and appropriately referenced to acknowledge the source, following the
referencing style chosen by the school. When students include any of their own photographs or
images in the portfolio, these must also be identified and acknowledged in the same way. There is
no lower limit on the number of pages a student can submit and teachers are encouraged to
remind students that their work will be assessed on how it best fulfills the assessment criteria for
the task and not judged on how many pages are submitted.
The process portfolio should contain a table of contents (which is excluded from the page count)
and all pages should be numbered. The main body of the process portfolio should be structured
using the following subheadings:
My personal context and my research into a professional company that creates and stages
original pieces of theatre
The formation of my group and our exploration of the starting point (including our target
audience and intentions for the piece)
Reflections on the collaborative development of our piece and the specific explorations led
by me
My contribution to the final 13-15 minute presentation, the impact on the audience and my
artistic choices (as seen in the video)
Students are required to submit a separate list of all sources cited.


Implementing Checkpoints in an SSIS Package
Like any other application, an SSIS package can fail. Once the problem has been resolved, you'll usually restart the package, but if you implement SSIS checkpoints, then you have another option: you can restart from the point of failure.
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package can fail for many reasons. A data source might be offline, a server might go down, the network might be unavailable, or countless other problems might arise. Whatever the reason, the end result is the same-your SSIS package stops running.
In some cases, this might not be too big a deal; you can simply restart the package after the problem has been resolved and everything is back to normal. However, if your package is loading terabytes of data or performing numerous other operations, a failure can represent a significant hit on your schedule and resources.
One way to help protect against such a happening is to implement checkpoints in your SSIS package. Checkpoints let you restart a package from the point of failure. For instance, if your package fails after the retrieved data has been staged, you can rerun the package starting at the point of failure without having to retrieve and stage the data again. In other words, the package starts right where it left off. By using checkpoints, you can avoid having to repeat tasks that involve large files or reload or re-aggregate large amounts of data.
How Checkpoints Work
When you configure your SSIS package to use checkpoints, SSIS maintains a record of the control flow executables that have successfully run. In addition, SSIS records the current values of user-defined variables.
SSIS stores the checkpoint information in an XML file whose name and location you specify when you configure your package to use checkpoints. When the package runs, SSIS takes the following steps to implement checkpoints:
 1. Creates the XML file.
 2. Records the current values of user-defined variables.
 3. Records each executable that successfully runs.
 4. Takes one of the following two actions:
 - Saves the file if the package stops running on an executable configured to use checkpoints.
 - Deletes the file if the entire package runs successfully.
If you configure a package to use checkpoints and that package fails during execution, SSIS will reference the checkpoint file if you try to rerun the package. SSIS will first retrieve the current variable values as they existed prior to package failure and, based on the last successful executable to run, start running the package where it left off, that is, from the point of failure onward, assuming you've addressed the issue that caused the failure in the first place.
Configuring Checkpoints
To implement checkpoints in your package, you must configure several properties at the package level:
 - CheckpointFileName: Specifies the full path and filename of your checkpoint file.
 - CheckpointUsage: Specifies when to use checkpoints. The property supports the following three options:
 - Never: A checkpoint file is not used.
 - IfExists: A checkpoint file is used if one exists. This option is the one most commonly used if enabling checkpoints on a file.
 - Always: A checkpoint file must always be used. If a file doesn't exist, the package fails.
 - SaveCheckpoints: Specifies whether the package saves checkpoints. Set to True to enable checkpoints on the package.
After you've configure these three package properties, you must set the FailPackageOnFailure property to True on each container or task that should participate in the checkpoint process. An executable that is enabled to use checkpoints serves as a starting point should the package fail and you want to rerun it. For example, suppose you set the FailPackageOnFailure property to True on a Data Flow task. If the package fails on that task and you restart the package, the package will start there. However, if the package fails at a task for which the FailPackageOnFailure property is set to False, the XML file is not saved and checkpoints are not used when you restart the package.
You should consider carefully which executables to include in the checkpoint process. For example, a Foreach Loop container can make using checkpoints a challenge. If you configure the container itself to use checkpoints, SSIS has no way of knowing which tasks inside the container have already run at the time of failure. And if you configure the tasks within the container to use checkpoints, variable values are not always recorded properly in the XML file at the time of failure. For that reason, many SSIS developers recommend against using checkpoints for loop iterations.
You must also be careful using checkpoints when running parallel operations in which all operations must succeed or fail as a logical unit, such as when you have parallel data flows that must succeed or fail as a single operation. You could, of course, put everything within a Sequence container and configure the container to use checkpoints, but if the container then represents the bulk of the control flow, you've gained little advantage because most of the work will have to be repeated anyway. Only if there are subsequent tasks, and you configure checkpoints on those tasks, do you have anything to gain.
Ideally, if you plan to implement checkpoints in your package, you should take them into account when you design your package. For example, you might want to separate the part of the data flow that stages data from that which loads data so you can use checkpoints more effectively. Let's look at a simple example to demonstrate how this works.
Checkpoints in Action
To demonstrate how to use checkpoints, I created a basic SSIS package in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). Then I added the following two components:
 - OLE DB connection manager. The connection manager establishes a connection with the AdventureWorks2008R2 sample database on a local instance of SQL Server 2008 R2.
 - User-defined variable. I created an int variable named number and set the initial value to 1.
After I configured these two components, I added several tasks to the control flow, which are shown in Figure 1. The control flow, in theory, creates the People table, retrieves person data, sets the variable value, loads the person data, and then deletes the table. In reality, the package doesn't really retrieve or load data, but it contains enough tasks for the package to run successfully and be able to demonstrate how checkpoints work.
Figure 1: Setting up the control flow in an SSIS package
The first task I added is an Execute SQL task. The task uses the OLE DB connection manager to connect to the AdventureWorks2008R2 database. I added the following Transact-SQL code to the task in order to create the People table:
The next task in the control flow is a Data Flow task. Although I labeled the task to indicate that it retrieves person data, the task does nothing at all. If this were an actual package, the data flow would load the person data into a staging table or raw files. However, because checkpoints work only at the executable level, it doesn't matter whether we configure the data flow, just as long as we can control whether the task succeeds or fails when the package runs. More on that later.
Following the Data Flow task, I added a Script task. The task does nothing but modify the value of the number user-defined variable. When I configured the task's properties, I added number to the Script Task editor as a read/write variable. Then, to the Main method of the script itself, I inserted the following C# line of code:
As you can see, the code simply sets the value of the number variable to 2. Although this serves no functional purpose in the current package, it does let me verify whether the current variable value is being properly recorded in the checkpoint file.
After the Script task, I added another Data Flow task that supposedly loads the person data into the People table. Again, this is just a dummy task that takes no action, but it is an executable that can either succeed or fail when the package runs.
The final component I added to the control flow is another Execute SQL task. The task uses the following Transact-SQL code to drop the People table:
That's all there is to the package. It's simple, does very little, but provides everything we need to test checkpoints. If you were to run the package now, the package should run with no problem and each component should turn to green. So now let's set up the package to use checkpoints. The first step then is to configure the three package properties described earlier:
 - CheckpointFileName: I specified a path and filename for my checkpoint file.
 - CheckpointUsage: I selected the IfExists value.
 - SaveCheckpoints: I selected the True value.
Next, I set the FailPackageOnFailure property to True for the last three components in the control flow (the Script task, second Data Flow task, and second Execute SQL task). Now, if the package fails on any of these three components, the checkpoint file will be saved and will include a list of all the executables that had run successfully up to the point of failure.
Because I did not configure the first Data Flow task to use checkpoints, checkpoints will not be used if that task fails, and you have to run the package from the beginning. If your data retrieval and staging process includes a significant amount of data, you might consider breaking that component into separate data flows and then implementing checkpoints on the individual components, but you should do this only if you can separate the data into discrete units that do not have to succeed or fail as a whole.
If you were to run the package as we currently have it configured, all the tasks should still successfully execute. So we need to make the package fail on one of the three tasks configured to use checkpoints. The easiest way to

RNA plays a critical role in mediating every step of cellular information transfer from genes to functional proteins. Pseudoknots are widely occurring structural motifs found in all types of RNA and are also functionally important. Therefore predicting their structures is an important problem. In this paper, we present a new RNA pseudoknot prediction model based on term rewriting rather than on dynamic programming, comparative sequence analysis, or context-free grammars. The model we describe is implemented using the Mfold RNA/DNA folding package and the term rewriting language Maude. Our model was tested on 211 pseudoknots in PseudoBase and achieves an average accuracy of 74.085% compared to the experimentally determined structure. In fact, most pseudoknots discovered by our method achieve an accuracy of above 90%. These results indicate that term rewriting has a broad potential in RNA applications from prediction of pseudoknots to higher level RNA structures involving complex RNA tertiary interactions.

Every now and then, an author comes around that is worth reading, even after death. Howard Peckham is that author. Peckham, who died in 1995 served as both a history professor at the University of Michigan and director of the Clements Library from _PHONE_. He wrote numerous articles and several books during his life. His most well-known book was Pontiac and the Indian Uprising (1948), which explored the famous Indian rebellion of 1763 led by Pontiac, in which he placed Pontiac in the context of a local leader within a greater anti-English movement by the Native Americans.
Another well-known work by Peckham is The Colonial Wars, _PHONE_ (1964). This book chronicles the history of the series of wars between the English and French, and their respective colonists in North America, as well as the Native Americans. This work, though dated, is well worth reading in order to begin understanding much of the period covered by this site. If one desires great reads by an accomplished historian, then consider reading Howard Peckham.

Why Vacuum Seal?
Vacuum Sealing is a great way to preserve your food up to 5 times longer compared to regular storage. This technique sucks the air out to keep food fresh, since air is one of the leading causes of food contamination and spoilage.
FreshWorld's Vacuum Sealer works best with our other food preservation products like the vacuum bags, rolls, canisters, and accessories so you can:
- Preserve food and extend shelf life up to 5 times longer
Compared to food stored in plastic bags or containers, enjoy your food for long when it is vacuum sealed. Meat will taste as rich and tender as it did when it was originally sealed. Pre-packed meals and leftovers can last for weeks instead of just days. For optimal results, track your food by putting the date when you vacuum seal.
- Save money and stop food waste
No more throwing away leftovers or watching expiration dates roll by. No more freezer burn or bland, oxidized meats. Save on what you previously would have had to throw to the bin.
- Prevent freezer burn and dehydration
Lock moisture in when you vacuum seal food, especially meat. When water sublimates inside your food, freezer burn happens. The ice crystals inside become into water vapor and get drawn up to the surface of your food, where they either freeze again and or escapes into the surrounding air. Freezer burn isn't dangerous, but it ruins the taste and texture of your food
- Save on storage space
Neatly pack items in our BPA-Free Vacuum Bags to save storage space in your fridge or pantry. No more bulky and cumbersome containers needed.
It's a convenient and economical way for households and businesses to preserve, protect, and store food.

Join the Endangered Wildlife Trust and SANParks in a photographic survey of Saddle-billed Storks in the Kruger National Park. The survey started on 1 September 2009 and will run for a full calendar year. This survey forms part of a research project that will be conducted over the next three years on the population status of Saddle-billed Storks, one of Kruger's rarities, and one of the "Big Six" birds.
"Census operations on any species within the boundaries of the Kruger National Park are important to help us get an idea of that species' status within the context of biodiversity management," says Marcelle van Hoven, the project's coordinator. "The last Saddlebilled Stork survey conducted in 1993 suggested that there were less than 60 of these birds left in the Park."
Saddle-billed Storks (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) are distinctly identifiable by their large size (they stand about 150 cm tall), sharply contrasting black and white plumage and yellow lappet (saddle-like structure) on the bill. The males have a dark eye with two small yellow wattles at the base of the bill, while females have a yellow eye. These birds can also be individually recognised by the details of the front edge of the black band across the red bill. Side-on photographs of all the birds, from both the left and right angles, will be used in identification during the survey.
Saddle-billed Storks are classified as Endangered in South Africa. They breed slowly and are dependant on extensive wetland habitats, which are under increasing pressure from humans. The flow regimes of rivers passing through the Kruger National Park are expected to change in response to catchment developments outside the Park, and this, together with the removal of artificial water impoundments within the Park, may have a negative impact on this species.
In South Africa, Saddle-billed Storks are largely confined to the north-eastern tropical lowland with the majority of the population residing along the riverine habitat in the Kruger National Park. They normally occur in pairs, are strongly territorial and remain in the same area for years.
Visitors who spot a Saddle-billed Stork are asked to take a clear photograph of both sides of the bird's face and bill and to record information about the sighting including the date, time, location, name of nearby water source, bird's gender, juveniles present and any other notes that might be relevant.
A Saddle-billed Stork census weekend is also planned in the Kruger National Park for later this year, where photographers with the powerful lenses can contribute to this project. Send all sighting details and photographs to _EMAIL_. This project is sponsored by Tinga Private Game Lodge and Custom African Tours & Safaris.

Ads by Muslim Ad Network
How many new faces that you see every day at your local masjid, work or neighborhood? The more frequent you go to a particular place, the more often you'll meet a familiar face. Similarly, in the Quran not all words are strangers to us, some we already know because we read and hear the Quran more than once
In this article, I am going to share with you a group of words that occur more than 1300 times in the Quran. It will take you less than 10 minutes of your precious time.. The words in Engish falls under the category of pronoun. These are words like, He, they, she, you, I, we, it, me, and your.
In Arabic pronoun can be divided into 2 one is an independent pronoun and the other is the attached pronoun. Independent pronoun is always Rafa' while the attached pronoun is either nasb or jarr
Independent Pronoun
An independent pronoun is a word by itself while the attached pronoun always appears as a part of a word. Now before you can know the attached pronoun it will be good to memorised the independent pronoun. It will take just approximately 10 minutes if you really want to commit them to memory.
The words that you see above is repeated in the Quran approximately 1300 times. Simply by memorizing them you would tremendously increase your understanding of the Quran when you read it or even when you are listening to the imam while praying. You can start by opening the Quran and look for independent pronouns. This will you in memorizing these words and it will definitely enhance your understanding of the Quran.
I can't stress enough how important is it to know these independent pronoun in Arabic and their meaning by heart. Imagine you will immediately know 1300 words in the Quran by memorising them.

Design of Windmill for Pumping Water
Project Overview
Power generation is a major requirement nowadays, Saudi Arabia in specific is looking for new methods to find renewable energy sources as part of 2030's vision and wind power was found to be suitable for the country's geographic condition.
Wind is the motion of air that is moving on the surface of the earth, and its speed varies based on the geographical location. The wind energy can be generated from the change of atmosphere unevenly where some parts get warmer than others. The warmer air rises and the colder air patches blow to replace them, therefore, alternating air is resulted and that air is wind [1]. Windmill is a mill that is used to convert kinetic energy of the wind into a mechanical energy by using blades rotor assembly which drives the shaft. The result from the rotating shaft provides a mechanical work that can be used to pump water as an example.
This project is intended to design a windmill based on the various components and their actual drawings. This design will contain the rotor assembly i.e. blades, hub, transmission shaft, the gear box, tower, generator, and yow system. Windmill has two different designs, the first type is horizontal and the second type is vertical. In this project, it will focus on the horizontal type. The consumption of power in Saudi Arabia is about triple times the world average [2]. There comes the benefit of windmill as it will reflect positively on the country in an economical point of view, as vision 2030 tries to find an alternative power source other than petroleum. Using renewable energy sources will not only benefit Saudi Arabia economically, but also will help the country to reduce its pollution by using free green energy such as wind. The main advantage of windmill compared with solar panel is that the country is located in a desert area where dust is very common, the dust has a big impact on the solar panels. Moreover, solar energy only works during the day while, windmill can operate 24 hours depending on the wind changes [4]
Project Objectives
The main objective of this project is to determine the power from a renewable energy source which is the wind. Moreover, to design a windmill with the key characteristics of a windmill. Another objective of this project is to practice and apply the engineering concepts. But there are more objectives, which are:
 - Design and construct a windmill to produce a renewable energy which is going to decrease the pollution.
 - Reduce the cost and energy of pumping water.
 - Study the difference between horizontal axis wind turbine, and the vertical axis turbine.
 - Learn the advantages and disadvantages of windmill.
 - Identify mathematical equations.
 - Compare between theoretical and experimental power.

This dissertation compares twentieth-century literary journalism from the U.S. and Mexico, with a focus on the nonfiction novel and the Mexican chronicle. The dissertation considers the two genres both historically and theoretically, in order to distinguish the borders between literature and unscrupulous journalism. North American journalism is at the heart of a crisis over the epistemological status of facts and their place in our political discourse. Some have argued that works of literary nonfiction can damage social norms like journalistic objectivity. Others argue that forms like the chronicle and the nonfiction novel can describe experience better than news reports. This dissertation engages with debates in and between the disciplines of history and theory of the novel, rhetorical and narrative studies of literature, philosophy of art and of literature, Latin American studies, Mexican studies and more, in order to investigate the boundaries of literature and journalism, art and representation, and fiction and fact.


Clay From Clothes
Here is a question submitted by Kelly:
I am having trouble getting clay out of my sons white baseball uniform.
Tools & Technique:
1. Carefully remove whatever you can using a soft scraping tool(spoon).
2. Soak and agitate in water before washing to further remove clay.
3. Use a laundry pre-treat or liquid detergent and rub into stain.
4. Launder as usual.
For tough stains use digestant presoak (don't use on wool or silk) product for about 30 minutes. Soak old stains for at least several hours.
Launder normally, rinse, and inspect. If stain remains, soak an additional 30 minutes, then rewash. If you are still having trouble try using a laundery booster available at most grocery stores. If the shirt is white you could also try bleaching the stains, by adding blech the the wash water.
Precaution:Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on the garment label. Don't dry the clothes until you have inspected the stain to see if it is gone. Heat sets most stains.

Time-lapse photography for monitoring reservoir leakages (Montejaque dam, Andalusia, southern Spain)
A methodology based on the use of time-lapse photographs is presented to evaluate the leakages over time of a reservoir (Montejaque dam, Málaga Province, Spain) that feeds a karstic aquifer. In particular, photographic control allows the evolution of water levels in the dam and the river that feeds it to be monitored. Through changes in water volume, which are calculated from the level differences, daily leakages are evaluated, and the relationship between leakages and the water level of the reservoir is established. The proposed method includes adjusting the hydric balance and the use of digital terrain model and climate data. The inputs (river flow and direct precipitation) and other outputs (direct evaporation) are also evaluated. Values between 4 m3/s and 0.35 m3/s are obtained for the reservoir infiltration, clearly superior to the values obtained at the time of the construction of the dam in the 1920s. Mobilisation of the filling of fractures and conduits in karstic massif and calcite dissolution are processes that can influence this behaviour. When the water level is very low, the obtained values are below the historical leakages due to deposition of clay sediments at the reservoir bottom.

The universal forwarder only forwards data. Unlike a full Splunk Enterprise instance, it cannot index or search data. To achieve higher performance and a lighter footprint, it has several limitations:
- The universal forwarder has no searching, indexing, or alerting capability.
- The universal forwarder does not parse data, except in certain cases.
- The universal forwarder does not output data via syslog.
- Unlike full Splunk Enterprise, the universal forwarder does not include a bundled version of Python.
Scripted inputs and Python
Full Splunk Enterprise comes bundled with Python. The universal forwarder does not. Therefore, if you use scripted inputs with Python and you want to use those scripts with the universal forwarder, you must first install your own version of Python. If you have been using calls specific to Splunk Python libraries, you cannot with the universal forwarder, because those libraries exist only in full Splunk Enterprise. You may use other scripting languages for scripted inputs with the universal forwarder if the target host supports them (for example, PowerShell on Windows Server.)
How universal forwarder compares to the light forwarder
The universal forwarder includes only the essential components needed to forward data to other Splunk Enterprise instances. The light forwarder, by contrast, is a full Splunk Enterprise instance, with certain features disabled to achieve a smaller resource footprint. In all respects, the universal forwarder represents a better tool for forwarding data to indexers.
When you install the universal forwarder, you can migrate from an existing light forwarder that runs version 4.0 or greater. See "Migrate from a light forwarder" for details.
Compared to the light forwarder, the universal forwarder provides a better performing solution to forwarding. These are the main performance differences between the universal forwarder and the light forwarder:
- The universal forwarder puts less load on the CPU, uses less memory, and has a smaller disk footprint.
- The universal forwarder has a default data transfer rate of 256Kbps.
- The universal forwarder cannot be converted to a full Splunk Enterprise instance.
Note: The light forwarder has been deprecated in Splunk Enterprise version 6.0. For a list of all deprecated features, see "Deprecated features" in the Release Notes.
For information on deploying the universal forwarder, see the topics that directly follow this one.
For information on third-party Windows binaries that the Windows version of the Splunk Enterprise universal forwarder ships with, read "Information on Windows third-party binaries distributed with Splunk Enterprise" in the Installation Manual.
For information about running the universal forwarder in Windows Safe Mode, read "Splunk Enterprise Architecture and Processes" in the Installation Manual.

Flaws are important because they are authentic. Human beings are all flawed in one way or another; no person is perfect.
If the year 2020 has shown us nothing else, it has shown us that educators are more valuable than we have ever imagined, and they need an annual raise in the ballpark amount of about 3 million dollars! Author Ashea Goldson included. The Sassy Writer spoke with her and learned that she is taking on youth literacy and empowering moves towards the changes she wished to see.
TSW: Now, you are no stranger to using your words for positive change. Your works through your Little Colors of Love Books have been effectively portraying stories of little black and brown kids in uplifting storylines. What is something particularly alarming you have noticed amongst youth literacy?
AG: As an educator for over twenty-five years, I have noticed that children have an urgent need for language and literacy skills; these are skills that they will be required to use for a lifetime. Yet these are the skills that are greatly lacking in many cases. I believe that the missing piece of the puzzle is a love for reading. This may be fueled by exposure to stories of dynamic adventure, topics of interest, relatable characters, or inspirational experiences. In any case, when children love to read, they read more. And when children read more, they read better. I have been dedicated to this mission throughout my career as a teacher. And in the African American community, in particular, there have not been many books with characters of color having diverse experiences until now. When I was a child, black characters were rare, but things are changing.
TSW: I agree 1000 percent. There was such a lack of characters who looked like me in the books I enjoyed growing up. I cannot readily recall any children's books from youth with pictures of girls and boys who looked like me. My fondest memory of a story with so much as a cover with a brown girl was Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry. Witnessing this representation gap firsthand, how did you keep this in mind when creating Little Colors of Love Books?
AG: I made up my mind to be a part of the change I wanted to see. As a writer and a publisher, perhaps I may have the greatest impact. I am compelled to provide all children, but, beginning with young children, stories enhance the magic of reading. I have created stories with diverse themes, multicultural characters and settings, adventurous and imaginative plots, and fun-loving rhymes and wordplay. If children can develop this love/habit early, then they will be more likely to carry this love of reading for a lifetime. If not, they are more likely to become an academic statistic.
TSW: I love this. We honor educators like you. Your students are lucky to have you. I'm wondering if they know that their teacher has a literary superpower. Do you share your books with your students?
AG: I spent many years teaching elementary school-aged children, and storytelling was one of my favorite activities. However, I actually do not share my stories with my current students because I am teaching AP Literature and AP Language to high school juniors and seniors. But I do teach an advanced composition dramatic writing class to seniors where I do share on the spot writings with my students.
TSW: Wow, ok! So, I don't think we put enough emphasis on the "superpower." Can I have a couple of day passes to sit in on the Dramatic Writing course? I am definitely intrigued! So, I want to chat a second about personal representation in your work, if any. Your latest, Granny Gets Rolling - what is one characteristic that Granny possesses that you as well have?
AG: I think that one characteristic that Granny and I have in common is probably perseverance. Granny keeps trying, and she will do anything for her grandchildren. Likewise, I love my own grandchildren and family and would do anything for them.
TSW: Now, you don't only write and publish children's books; you also write adult-centered Christian Fiction. You mentioned that your work embodies flawed characters and storylines. Why was it necessary to write books with this sort of reflection?
AG: Flaws are important because they are authentic. Human beings are all flawed in one way or another; no person is perfect. So my characters must reflect real life, real joy, and real human struggle. That is what makes the reader connect with the characters and the story.
TSW: This is an underrated approach, in my opinion, especially in fiction writing. I applaud and thank you for knowing the value of real-life issues in your books. You refer to yourself as a Kingdom- Writer. Tell us about the meaning behind the reference.
AG: A kingdom writer is someone who writes for the kingdom and the glory of God, faith-based writing. For my adult fiction novels, I write faith-based stories and help others write and develop their own inspirational stories.
TSW: Nice. Ashea, you are a writer and publisher, but you have also loaned your pen to other's works through ghostwriting. Do you find more liberation in your creativity when writing your works or ghostwriting for others?
AG: I definitely have more liberty when I am writing for myself because I make those creative decisions. When I am ghostwriting, the story belongs to someone else, and that person must approve my ideas.
TSW: We also understand you are currently adding another title pretty soon - host. When can we expect the podcast to air?
AG: The Little Colors of Love Book Talk Podcast has already aired, and episodes can be found on Apple and other popular podcast platforms. We are currently seeking children's book authors for book reviews, features, and author interviews.
TSW: Ok, Children's book authors, consider this as an all call. We will wrap it up with the TSW Fire Round, BUT, right after, Ashea is going to tell us how she can be contacted, especially for an opportunity to be a part of her podcast. Ashea, fire round! Singing or Dancing?
AG: Definitely singing
TSW: Cotton Candy or Funnel Cake
AG: Funnel cake.
TSW: What is your favorite flower
AG: A purple orchid because my favorite color is purple
TSW: The color of royalty! Now, whether you are a reader or writer, listen carefully. How can people connect with you?

Changing the Minimum quantity message
Putting short notes or messages on the check out that will serve as a reminder or a heads up to the customer is a smart move. This short note is called in-cart message. This will be helpful to the customers since they will be aware of other good offers they are qualified to avail.
The Wholesale Hero app allows you to edit the in-cart messaging to encourage customers to add more products or to display required minimum values for wholesale discounts to be applied.

New Study by HCE Members Shows Intermediate Agriculture Can Contribute to Sustainable Farming
A recent study published in the peer-reviewed journal "Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems" examines the benefits of intermediate agriculture, a farming method that cultivates crops without chemical pesticides but without organic certification. The study was conducted by the AgroBioDiv project, which is led by HCE members Prof. Dr. Marcus Koch and Prof. Dr. Jale Tosun. It focuses on the KraichgauKorn farmers' cooperative in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The cooperative comprises conventional farmers who avoid using pesticides during the growing season for KraichgauKorn cereal grains. The research examines the impact of this farming method on cropland biodiversity and its potential contribution to sustainable agriculture. The study found that intermediate agriculture increased weed species biodiversity compared to conventional fields, but lower levels of biodiversity than organic fields. The researchers also found more endangered wild species on KraichgauKorn fields than conventional fields, with organic fields exhibiting the highest presence of endangered flora.
The open access papers, "Intermediate Agriculture and Biodiversity: Insights from the AgroBioDiv Project," is available via the following link: To the publication

BS 10012 - The standard for a personal information management system (PIMS)
What is BS 10012?
BS 10012 is a British standard that outlines the specifications for a PIMS. The framework has been developed to help organisations comply with the data protection requirements imposed by laws such as the EU's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
Buy your copy of BS 10012 today
What are the benefits of a PIMS?
A PIMS supported by BS 10012 upholds the principles of the GDPR and offers reassurance to stakeholders that personal data is managed in line with best practice.
 1. Demonstrate compliance with the GDPR and other data protection laws.
 2. Improve structure and focus of data privacy management.
 3. Embed personal data management in your organisation's culture.
 4. Take a risk-based approach to data privacy management.
 5. Encourage continual improvement to adapt to changes inside and outside the organisation.
 6. Integrate with other leading standards for total GDPR compliance such as ISO 27001.
How to implement a PIMS
Implementing a management system requires a structured approach and involves the entire organisation.
Here are the key steps to meet the requirements of BS 10012
 1. Identify the requirements of stakeholders of the PIMS.
 2. Scope the PIMS to ensure all relevant areas are covered.
 3. Establish a project team and project leader.
 4. Involve top leadership and obtain their support.
 5. Develop PIMS objectives and draw up a PIMS policy.
 6. Build the necessary competence to implement and manage the PIMS.
 7. Undertake data inventory and data flow mapping exercises.
 8. Set up a process for establishing the legal basis for processing PII (personally identifiable information).
 9. Create PIAs (privacy impact assessments) and risk management structures.
 1. Establish a programme to incorporate privacy by design.
 2. Undertake staff awareness programmes.
 3. Develop the necessary PIMS policies and procedures, including processes for consent, subject access requests and data breaches.
 4. Introduce a process for sharing, storing, disposing and transferring data.
 5. Establish a continually improvement programme.
 6. Undertake an internal audit.
 7. Apply for certification (voluntary).
Certification to BS 10012
Organisations can use BS 10012 simply as a framework for good practice. Article 42 of the GDPR, however, encourages the use of independent certification schemes to demonstrate compliance. A PIMS certified to BS 10012 delivers an independent assessment of the organisation's personal data management practices and enables organisations to prove that they have taken necessary and reasonable measures to comply with the GDPR. Whilst BS 10012 is not a complete model for GDPR compliance this PIMS will help to protect your organisation from personal data breaches and prove your credentials to partners, clients and your employees.
Achieve full GDPR compliance with BS 10012 and ISO 27001
Certifying to the international information security management standard (ISO 27001) in conjunction with BS 10012 enables organisations to not only demonstrate compliance with the privacy elements of the GDPR (and similar laws), but also the information security requirements (referred to as the technical and organisational measures required by Article 32).
BS 10012 has been developed in line with international management system standards such as ISO 27001 to eliminate duplication of standard practices.

BOOKS, GLOBES AND INSTRUMENTS OF THE 16TH CENTURY
An exhibition by the Royal Astronomical Society and the Museum of the History of Science
to mark the 500th anniversary of the birth of Gerard Mercator.
11 May to 9 September 2012
Astronomers may seem always to have been preoccupied with theory but The Renaissance in Astronomy shows that in the 16th century they created and used many finely-crafted and even beautiful objects. Through outstanding examples of astronomical craft, the exhibition – presented here in its online version – sets in a new context the revolutionary proposition of Copernicus that the earth is in motion.
The exhibition marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of cartographer Gerard Mercator, whose world map projection we use to this day. Mercator was famed for his globes and a pair of his splendid terrestrial and celestial globes, lent by Royal Museums Greenwich, is featured in the exhibition. Also on show is Mercator's own annotated copy of Copernicus's ground-breaking book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. Important books from the library of Royal Astronomical Society are also on display, including Peter Apian's stunning Astronomicum Caesareum, along with astronomical instruments from the Museum's collection.
The exhibition is a collaboration between MHS and the Royal Astronomical Society.

Grown to Perform
Warners - More than meets the eye
At this year's Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, Warners Nurseries, in collaboration with Robert Boyle, created the award-winning Show Garden, More than Meets the Eye. It was an opportunity to showcase a range of plantings traditionally grown by Warners whilst incorporating a mix of new plants in an exciting contemporary design. Show Gardens are designed for maximum impact to impress judges and wow garden lovers attending MIFGS. To maximise impact plants are placed closely together to mimic future growth and ensure that the planted areas look full and lush. The reality is, often you would not place this many plants and species together in such a tight space.
There is more than meets the eye to good garden design when considering what to plant where. Overplanting can be a problem in garden design, and is one of the key criteria assessed by judges for the Victorian Master Landscapers awards. How well existing planting has been considered in relation to a new planting scheme, is crucial. Consideration must also be given to the overall effect, and to the scale of plants within the space in relation to the surrounding landscape. Good garden design must allow for future growth: Plants need space to have the chance to reach their full potential.
Visiting established gardens is an inspirational way to see how plants will perform over time and how good design integrates with existing features and previous established plantings. Open Garden schemes are a wonderful way to be able to visit numerous gardens designed by key landscapers and observe how the gardens have matured with time. From a Production Nursery perspective, it is an opportunity to assess how plants we grow perform and review how we can nurture plants to suit their proposed garden use and conditions.
National Gallery of Victoria Womens' Association held their Open Gardens Day in late October and through the generosity of the homeowners, six magnificent gardens were on view. John and Kelly Warner were amongst the hundreds of garden lovers that flocked to the NGVWA opening to look over many of the gardens that Warners have supplied plants to. Indeed, Kelly reminisced that it was likely her father Ross who delivered some of the plants to these gardens when they were being established.
Held every two years Garden Designfest is another opportunity to visit some amazing established gardens. Read more HERE. Open Gardens are mostly coordinated by charities, so it's heartening to know that gate charges are being put to good use.
At Designfest this year, there were some magnificent gardens on display with one taking this article to a full circle: 'The Falls', at Longwood designed by Robert Boyle, was open as part of the regional component in the Euroa district. A grand-scale garden that demonstrates how thoughtful design integrates the old and the new to grow and mature into something extraordinary.

Three months after planting, all rhizomes of hardstem bulrush Schoenoplectus acutus and broadleaf cattail Typha latifolia had died (i.e. none had produced shoots). In contrast, California bulrush Schoenoplectus californicus rhizomes were alive in all four areas where they were planted, with 6–31% of individual rhizomes having produced shoots. After 24 months, California bulrush was still present in all four areas and had spread to cover 4–23 m2/site. Methods: In June 2010, one hundred and ninety two rhizomes were planted into four areas within the marsh (16 rhizomes/species/area). Survival was quantified in September 2010. Cover was measured until June 2012. The study areas were flooded for 82–99% of each summer.Study and other actions tested

Genghis Khan notes and queries
Hard but fair... Genghis Khan. Photograph: © Bettmann/CORBIS
Did Genghis Khan know what he was doing was wrong?
Temujin, aka Gengis Khan, came from an illiterate tribal culture of semi-nomadic herders and rustlers. He parlayed that into a military conquest culture that made Alexander the Great look like a lethargic wimp.
This was no fun for the rest of his known world, but his methods were unexceptional by the standards of his time (_PHONE_). European armies, contemporary and for centuries afterwards, were every bit as brutal, though usually far less successful in the returns they gained for their brutishness. Wrong? The boy done good.
Robert Sproat, London N17
A better question is, did he believe that what he was doing was wrong? Official Mongol ideology said they had been chosen by heaven to rule the world, and anyone who defied the will of heaven by opposing them brought punishment upon themselves. In addition, many of the worst atrocities were "justified" by the murder of Mongol emissaries (probably as a result of explaining the above).
Genghis's Chinese advisers would have tried to explain morality to him, but without apparently modifying his behaviour. He probably lived a good life according to his own beliefs, however repugnant we would find his actions.
Peter Wright, Polegate, East Sussex
Maybe he felt responsibility, but not regret.

How do pill manufacturers ensure that the chemicals are evenly distributed?
My father was a pharmacist and until the 1930s would occasionally make his own pills – spheres, not flat tablets – to prescription on his pill-making machine (a grand name for a sort of pastryboard-and-rolling-pin device).
The ingredients were first ground and mixed in a pestle and mortar. Some mixes would yield pills that kept their shape and integrity well, but others were known to be unreliable and the pills could fall apart. For these, pharmacists had a secret: a threeor four-inch strip of unprinted paper was torn from the margin of a newspaper and ground into the mix. Wood fibre was the magic ingredient that kept the pills, and their maker's reputation, intact.

If a footballer (one in a team of 11) gets sent off, it often seems to make little difference. If a rugby union player (one of 15) gets sent off, it nearly always does. Shouldn't it be the other way round?
A football team reduced to 10 men has some choice as to which position to forgo. If you're already winning, it is probably better to play with just one striker, and try to close the game down at the back; if there is still all to play for, it may be more advisable to play with just three in midfield.
In rugby union, you have no realistic option but to play without your Number 8, thus reducing your pack of forwards to seven players. Your opponents will dominate the set scrums, and the advantage in the line out, the ruck and the maul will be considerable. The 15-man team will thus dominate possession of the ball and over time this will almost inevitably bring victory.
Patrick McCauley, Otley, Yorks
The reason that a player being sent off in rugby tends to have a more detrimental effect than in football is because rugby relies more on man-marking for its defensive routines and because rugby, being a handling game, allows for the better exploitation of the space created by the one-player advantage. Football requires more space in which to operate and therefore the defending team can cover the space with its remaining players more easily.
Of course, the effect of the loss of a player in both sports is significantly influenced by the quality of the player sent off.
Ian Broadbridge, Bristol
Why are there no female Formula One drivers?
Two readers suggested a lack of strength as the main reason (N&Q, 10 February), but another listed several women who had competed in Formula One, so it's not that. We also have a female Red Arrows pilot, so I don't think "pulling g" is the problem either.
Most Formula One drivers start as children in karts, which is an almost exclusively boy-and-dad environment not particularly conducive to a young girl. It gets worse as the aspiring racers reach puberty, when the testosterone-fuelled boys are in their element.

Module 8: Figure epidermal stem cell
Control of epidermal stem cell proliferation.
Proliferation of epidermal stem cells located in the bulge region of the hair follicle (Module 7: Figure skin cells) are inhibited by both the SMAD signalling pathway, which is activated by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and by the presence of various inhibitors (Dkk1, WIF1 and sFRP) that block the Wnt signalling pathway activated by the frizzled receptor (Fz). As the dermal papilla are drawn up towards the bulge during the follicle hair cycle they release Noggin and Wnt that act to drive proliferation by reversing these inhibitory mechanisms.

Ajax Question
How to build a ASPX proxy page for JSONP calls
I have a page on the local intranet that provides information in JSONP format and want external users to be able to use that page for AJAX calls.
For this I want to write an ASPX proxy page that passes the client request to the internal page (on another server) and then sends the unaltered response to the external client.
What would be the easiest way to accomplish this?
Answer
Solved this using the following code in Page_Load:
 var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://jsonsource/");
 var response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
 var json = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
 Response.ClearHeaders();
 Response.ClearContent();
 Response.Clear();
 Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
 Response.ContentType = "application/json";
 Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
 Response.Write(json);
 Response.Flush();


entifier of the owner class is composite the join declaration is a bit more complex:
 <class name="A" >
 <field name="ida1" primary-key="true" column="IDA1"/>
 <field name="ida2" primary-key="true" column="IDA2"/>
 <field name="strings" table="T_SET">
 <collection element-type="String"/>
 <element column="STR"/>
 <join>
 </column name="FK_IDA1" target="IDA1"/>
 </column name="FK_IDA2" target="IDA2"/>
 </join>
 </field>
 </class>
 For each column of the foreign key, the target column has to be specified.
 Reference to several persistent instances (non prmitive)
 This case is the same than a reference to several primitive value except for the element definition. Be careful, if this field composes a bidirectional relation ship, you have to read the dedicated chapter about bidirectional relationship. Here is an example of a class 'A' having a collection of 'B' instance.
 class A {
 String ida;
 Collection myBs;
 }
 class B {
 long idb;
 }
 <class name="A" >
 <field name="ida" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myBs" table="TAB">
 <collection element-type="B"/>
 <element column="FKIDB"/>
 <join column="FKIDA"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 <class name="B" >
 <field name="idb" primary-key="true" column="IDB"/>
 </class>
 The sets of B are stored into the 'TAB' table. The column corresponding to the reference to B instances is FKIDB. This column implicitly references the identifier column of the referenced class (B). The join to the TAB table is based on the identifier of the class 'A'. The foreign key column is 'FKIDA'. If the identifier of the referenced class is composite the element declaration is a bit more complex:
 <class name="A" >
 <field name="ida" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myBs" table="TAB">
 <collection element-type="B"/>
 <element>
 <column name="FKIDB1" target="IDB1">
 <column name="FKIDB2" target="IDB2">
 </element>
 <join column="FKIDA"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 <class name="B" >
 <field name="idb1" primary-key="true" column="IDB1"/>
 <field name="idb2" primary-key="true" column="IDB2"/>
 </class>
 For each column of the foreign key, the target column has to be specified.
 List fields
 Map fields
 A map defines an association between keys and their corresonding values. Speedo supports only primitive types as map key. In the other hand, the value of the map can be a primitive values or instances of a persistent class.
 When the value type is primitive, the only possible mapping is to have a table dedicated for the map storing.
 The example shows a map referenced by the 'A' class ('mapOfStringIndexedByLong' field). The key of the map is a Long value. The value type of the map is a String. Finally the join to the map table is based on the identifier of 'A' class.
 class A {
 long ida;
 Map<B,String> mapOfBIndexedByString;
 }
 <class name="A">
 <field name="ida" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="mapOfStringIndexedByLong" persistence-modifier="persistent"
 table="MAP_LONG_TO_STRING">
 <map key-type="java.lang.Long" value-type="java.lang.String"/>
 <join column="FKIDA"/>
 <key column="LONG_KEY_COL"/>
 <value column="STRING_VALUE_COL"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 When value type are instance of persistent class, there are two cases of mapping for a Map field.
 1. Firstly the "map" field is stored into an intermediate table, which the name can be defined by the 'table' attribut on field.
 The example below shows a map referenced by the A class ('mapOfBIndexedByString' field). The map is stored on table 'MAP_TABLE_NAME'. The keys of the map are string valuevalue whereas the values are instances of B persistent class. The join to the map table is based on the identifier of 'A' class.
 class A {
 long ida;
 Map<B,String> mapOfBIndexedByString;
 }
 class B {
 long idb;
 }
 <class name="A">
 <field name="ida" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="mapOfBIndexedByString" persistence-modifier="persistent"
 table="MAP_TABLE_NAME">
 <map key-type="java.lang.String" value-type="B"/>
 <join column="FKIDA"/>
 <key column="STRING_KEY_COL"/>
 <value column="FKIDB"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 <class name="B" >
 <field name="idb" primary-key="true" column="IDB"/>
 </class>
 2. Secondly the map field is stored into the table of the persistent class stored in value. In this case the key of the map is a field of the class, and there is a bidirectional relationship between both classes.
 The example shows a map referenced by the A class. The value type of the map is the persistent class B. The key of the map is the 'f1' field value of the B class.
 <class name="A">
 <field name="f1_to_B" persistence-modifier="persistent"> mapped-by="myA">
 <map key-type="java.lang.String" value-type="B"/>
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="key-field" value="f1"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 <class name="B">
 <field name="idb" column="IDB"/>
 <field name="f1"/>
 <field name="myA" column="FKIDA"/>
 </class>
 13. Bidirectional relationship
 14. When two classes have reference to each other, you have a bidirectional relationship. In many cases, both fields share the same data structure in the data support. For this reason, the JDO specification permits to define only the mapping in one side of the raltion. The second one is defined from the mapping of the first. For one-one or one-Many relations, a common advice is to define the mapping of the reference having the foreign key. For Many-Many relation, the mapping can be defined on side that you want.
 In addition to define the mapping only one side, Speedo supports coherency of relationship. This means that when you modify a field value, the reverse field is automatically updated in order to keep the coherence of the relation type.
 This chapter has sections dedicated to each type of relation ship in order to explain their mapping.
 One-One Bidirectional relationship
 One-One relationship can use only one or two foreign keys. In first case you have to define the foreign column on the side of the foreign key. In the other reference, you simply specifies the 'mapped-by' attribut with the name ofthe reverse field.
 Here is an example of a One-One relationship between 'A' and 'B' classes. The foreign key 'FKIDB' is in the 'TA' table. The mapping of the field 'myA' is defined from the mapping of the field 'myB'.
 class A {
 long ida;
 B myB;
 }
 class B {
 long idb;
 A myA;
 }
 <class name="A" table"TA">
 <field name="ida" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myB"> column="FKIDB"/>
 </class>
 <class name="B" table"TB">
 <field name="idb" column="IDB"/>
 <field name="myA" mapped-by="myB"/>
 </class>
 Here is another example of a One-One relationship between 'A' and 'B' classes. Here there is two foreign keys, one in each table.
 class A {
 long ida;
 B myB;

In this blogpost, Vikram Chaudhuri, Student of Department of Law, Calcutta University and the Diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws by NUJS, writes about, what is hybrid structure and the advantages and disadvantages of having a hybrid organization .
The most important thing to do before launching an enterprise is to choose its legal structure. On the basis of the structuring, it will depend how the enterprise gets its funding, and how the enterprise will govern, and how the profits will be divided. The amount of tax an enterprise has to pay will depend on how the enterprise has been structured.
Countries like US and UK have different options for structuring a social enterprise. They can structure their company in a L3C (Low-Profit Limited Liability Company) and Benefit Corporations ( B Corps )
India, only has a few options for social enterprises. Entrepreneurs can structure their enterprises in the following formats:-
Non – Profit Organization
NonProfit Organizations can be structured as Societies, Trusts (Public or Private) or as a Sec 8 Company under the Companies Act. Any organization working for the relief of the poor, education, medical relief, Preservation of Environment including Wildlife and Forests, any other organization for Public Utility will enjoy tax benefits under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Another advantage is that they can accept Donations under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.
The ways in which a Non- Profit Organization can earn revenues are by generating revenues from their work, by interest or dividend from its investments. The most important method for earning revenues for them is donation and grants from the Government. Their main objective is to help the society and not earn profits from their ventures. Teach for India and Digital Green are two examples of Non – Profit Organization.
For Profit Organization
A social enterprise can also be set up as a For- Profit Organization. For Profit- Organizations can be structured as the following four: sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnerships, company.
Most enterprises in India are established as For Profit Organizations. The major advantage of a For Profit Organization is that it is suited for social enterprises looking for fast growth and profit. It's easier for a For Profit organization to scale up their operations. These organizations can issue shares and go public. They can attract funding from Venture Capitals (VC's), and as they are working for profit, they can easily invest in their own infrastructure and hire talented people.
One of the disadvantages is that the main aim of the social organization may drift apart if it is for profit. Making profit may become the ultimate motive of the organization and they may not work for the benefit of the society anymore.
Hybrid organizations are those which combine the social logic of a non-profit with the commercial logic of a for-profit business. These organizations start off as a non-profit or profit organization, and then they launch another entity.
As funds start to dry up, non- profits need to rethink as to how to generate revenue to keep the organization in working condition. Generally, they take the option of setting up another for-profit entity. Let us take one example. Consider two organizations with the same purpose: of solving the problem of poor eyesight in developing countries. The first, the Centre for Vision in the Developing World follows a traditional non-profit model, which runs on donations that fund the creation and distribution of specially designed eyeglasses that can be calibrated by the user to circumvent the need for an optometrist. The second, Vision Spring follows a different approach , working to build a network of entrepreneurs who sell eyeglasses in their communities. But they sustain themselves by selling glasses. VisionSpring is what organization scholars call a "hybrid" social venture, since it combines the social welfare logic of a non-profit and the commercial logic of a for-profit business.
Advantages of Using a Hybrid Model
When hybrids work, they can be a fantastically creative means of solving real-world problems in totally self-sustaining ways, harnessing the strengths of both for-profit and non-profit models. Hybrid structuring brings together the best of both worlds. It can attract both grants and donations and is still eligible for VC's. To put it simply, hybrid structures are a combination of a For-Profit and non- profit entity, where both the entities function together as a joint unit. The For-Profit entity can be a subsidiary of the non-profit entity and vice versa. They can also be two separate legal entities but working for the same cause. A hybrid model helps in scaling up easily. Hybrid models are coming up in all spheres including healthcare, technology, agriculture. NGO's and businesses are collaborating with each other in new inventive ways.
Let us take one more example. The non- profit Mozilla Foundation which promotes an open internet, in 2005, opened its for profit-subsidiary , Mozilla Corp to manage operations related to Firefox, the Web Browser created by Mozilla Foundation, and it's other open – source software.
Disadvantages of Using a Hybrid Model
The most important thing to remember is that there is no fixed guideline on how a hybrid organization should operate. The hybrid organizations are immensely complicated organizations and each hybrid organization is set up for a particular objective. The success of a hybrid organization often depends on how well the non-profit entity and the For-Profit entity are working together. Several complexities can arise as for how these hybrid organization will be governed, to whom the Intellectual Property will belong , and sometimes there might be a conflict of interest between the for- profit entity and the non-profit entity.
The funding for the two entities also remains a problematic issue. For instance under the IT Act, a charitable trust cannot invest money in the shares of a company. There is no fixed chain of command, and nor is there any guideline on how these conflicts will be solved. So it will depend on the hybrid organization to solve its problem internally. While establishing the hybrid organization, it must be seen that the objectives and purposes of each entity are identified, in a well-drafted document, including any structural and governance problem. This will help in solving the conflicts between the two entities in a relatively easier way.
Another problem is that the entrepreneurs do not want to invest in a hybrid structure because hybrid social ventures fall into a gray area between business and charity. They are not easily funded by venture capitalists on the one hand or philanthropic foundations on the other.
However, it must be noted that, to maintain a hybrid organization it takes a huge amount of workforce and a huge amount of money. Different legal entities have different rules and regulations. They need to follow certain guidelines of the Government. To maintain a non-profit entity (for example a Trust) and a For Profit Entity (a Company) at the same time, all the necessary compliances has to be followed for both the entities. Hence, hybrid organizations are not always ideal, and must be used only in cases where it is needed.
Hybrid organizations enjoy the bests of both- the non-profit entity and a for-profit entity. A hybrid organization has some distinct advantages as well as disadvantages over the traditional for-profit and non- profit organization. It is up to the entrepreneur as to how he wishes to structure his enterprise according to the needs of his enterprise.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED OFFICE INVENTORY SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF N.B.C PLC 9TH MILE CORNER NGWO). A RESEARCH PROJECT MATERIAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE
This project is on design and implementation of a computerized office inventory system that is based on a system of valuation known as office system due to pluctuation of market price. The project is also aimed at finding out how computer can be applied to office inventory system.
The prevalent method of controlling inventory in most offices is manual method, which has a lot of set backs. Such set backs include tedious ecorical worck, delay in transaction and time wastages in file assessment and accuracy of inventory record. It is therefore of great importance to carry out this research aimed at finding out how computer can help to maintain efficient and accurate records of goods in stock, and also making updating easy, all at a fantastic speed.
The information to this study is gotten through oral interview and record inspection of some offices.
This enables one to get information about the old system and how the benefit the proposed system have over the one i.e. the cost benefit analysis matter.
In an organization, it is very essential and need greater attention towards effort made to achieve and mandation an economic balance between the cost incurred and saved, by holding material in stock.
This process can be obtained by ensuring that the acquisition, storage, handling and usage of raw material are fully controlled at all times. This process is considered under the study of office inventory system which embraces, the total raw material to be used, work in progress and the stock counting of the finished goods.

A lordship in the Holy Roman Empire, in northeastern Germany; the town of Barby is on the River Elbe, southeast of Magdeburg.
The lordship belonged to the Abbey of Quedlinburg, and in the 12th century was held in fief by the Lords of Arnstein (which is in the Harz). A branch of the Arnstein family survived in Barby until 1659, with the title of Count from 1497. Barby belonged to the Upper Saxon Circle in the Empire In 1659, when the family died out, Barby itself went to Saxe-Weissenfels (and later reverted to the Electorate of Saxony), while other parts of the County went to Brandenburg and Anhalt-Zerbst. In 1807 Barby became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia and in 1815 of Prussia. It is now in Sachsen-Anhalt.

Glass fiber reinforced plastic resin tank is the main accessory of water softening equipment. If the water dispenser and intermediate pipe of the resin tank are not installed properly, it will affect the operation of the equipment. How should the water dispenser and intermediate pipe be installed? Proceed as follows:
1. Use PVC glue to glue the middle pipe and the water dispenser base together.
2. Insert the glued intermediate tube into the resin tank of the water softener.
3. The water distributor pipe is screwed on the water distributor base.
4. After the installation of the water distributor is completed, the middle pipe should be erected in the center of the interchange tank, and then the PVC pipe above the plane of the tank mouth should be cut off.
5. Place the resin tank of the water softener in the selected position.
6. The middle pipe and the lower water distributor are glued firmly together. Insert the middle pipe into the resin tank with the lower water distributor facing down. The height of the middle pipe and the lower water distributor should be flush with the mouth of the tank. The excess part The middle tube is cut off.
7, resin is added to the resin tank, can not be filled. The space reserved is the backwash space of the resin, and the height is 40% -60% of the height of the resin layer.
8. Put the water distributor on the middle pipe, or fix the water distributor on the bottom of the control valve first.
9. Insert the middle pipe into the bottom of the control valve.
The above are the installation steps of the water distributor and the intermediate pipe. Has the family already understood it?
