, the application scope is also too broad for simple state communication
between users.
A more refined mechanism for sharing
state information between multiple users is
through a business process. Think of a business process as a flow of conversations
between users. A customer has a conversation with a search component that culminates
in the creation of an order. Later a stor
e employee might engage in another conversation
to review or ship the order. The shared context throughout this is the order itself. Seam
lets us code components to perform the review and shipping acts that are as simple as the
search and cart components
we've already seen.
Let's take a very simple order fulfillment process written using the jBPM process
definition language. This simple process has one state with has a ship task that needs to
be acted on by the store manager. Once the task is completed
the process is done.
<process
-
definition name="OrderManagement">
<start
-
state>
<transition to="process"/>
</start
-
state>
<task
-
node name="process">
<task name="ship">
<assignment actor
-
id="manager"/>
</ta
sk>
<transition name="shipped" to="complete" />
</task
-
node>
<end
-
state name="complete"/>
</process
-
definition>
This is a very trivial process, but it does illustrate the basics of process integration. Once
you see how it works, it won't
be hard imagining how this can be extended to more
complex processes later.
Let's suppose that we've added a purchase action to the shopping cart that let the user
complete the checkout. We'd like to have an instance of the business process created
after
wards. With Seam, this is as easy as annotating the method with
@CreateProcess
.
@Out(scope=BUSINESS_PROCESS, required=false)
long orderId;
@Out(scope=BUSINESS_PROCESS, required=false)
float amount;
@Out(scope=BUSINESS_PROCESS, require
d=false)
String email;
@CreateProcess(definition="OrderManagement")
public String purchase() {
// process the order
// set the orderId, amount and email fields
}
The
@Out
annotations here are on state of the current object
that we want to be shared out
to the business process context. By associating the
orderId
with process, any
component that is taking part in the process can inject the
orderId
and use the data. The
component taking part in the action doesn't need to know
where the state is coming from.
It only needs to know that it will get the state it needs to perform the task required of it.
When the process instance is created, a
ship
task will be created and assigned to the
manager
user. Seam provides several built
-
in components for querying tasks. The
taskInstanceListForType
component provides a list of a tasks by type for the current
user. The following code displays a list of
ship
tasks for the user.
<h:dataTable value="#{taskInstanceListForType['ship']}"
var="task">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">Order Id</f:facet>
#{task.taskMgmtInstance.processInstance.contextInstance.variables[
'orderId']}
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">Order A
mount</f:facet>
<h:outputText value=
"#{task.taskMgmtInstance.processInstance.contextInstance.variables[
'amount']}">
<f:convertNumber type="currency" currencySymbol="$" />
</h:outputText>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<
h:column>
<h:commandLink action="#{ship.ship}">
<f:param name="taskId" value="#{task.id}"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
The order ID and amount are displayed, followed by a button to s
hip the item. In the real
application clicking on the button engages the store manager in a conversation with a
shipping component where the manager can examine the order and either enter a tracking
number or cancel the order. In this example, we'll use
a much simpler component which
simply changes the state of order object.
@Stateful
@Name("ship")
@Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class)
public class ShipAction
implements Ship,
Serializable
{
@PersistenceContext(type=PersistenceContext
Type.EXTENDED)
EntityManager em;
@In
Long orderId;
@BeginTask
@EndTask
public String ship() {
Order order = (Order) em.find(Order.class, orderId);
order.ship();
return "admin";
}
}
The
@
BeginTask
annotation takes the task associated with the
taskId
parameter and
makes the corresponding process state available to the component. That allows the
orderId
to be injected and the corresponding order shipped. Since we've greatly
simplified the
flow here, this method uses the
@EndTask
annotation to signal the
completion of the task.
If the operation succeeds, the process will advance. In this simple example, the process
completes, but if the process were more complex other tasks, possibly for
other users,
might be created. Those new tasks would see any changes to the process state.
We won't add any more tasks here. Instead, let's make one tiny change to the process to
illustrate how business process can further simplify the flow of the applica
tion. Let's
imagine that we wanted to send an email after shipping the order. We could do that in
the
ship()
action, but then we'd be mixing the concerns of components. The ship
component should only be concerned with the single action of shipping the o
rder.
There are many ways to add actions to a process in jBPM. We'll associate the email
action with the transition out of the state.
<transition name="shipped" to="complete">
<action expression="#{shippingEmail.send}" />
</transition>
This expression invokes the send action on the
shippingEmail
component. It is easy to
see how a Seam component could inject state from the process, pull out the information
to put in the email and use JavaMail to notify the user that the order has shipped
.
Using a process allows us to separate out process concerns like sending a notification
from application concerns like marking an order as shipped in the database. Seam allows
us to integrate with the business process without coupling the code to busine
ss process
APIs or complicating the components with complex state management. Seam simplifies
the application by letting components focus only on the exact task they are meant for and
delegating all glue code to Seam.
One more thing...
There is a lot more
to say about Seam. This article has focussed entirely on the
management of contextual components to provide for simpler web application
development. However, Seam goes well beyond that. Let's look at some of the other
things that make Seam interesting.
The conversation model in Seam is much richer than what is shown here. Seam has the
ability to carry on conversations with multiple components on a single page and has the
ability to switch between conversations. Seam has additional contexts beyond the
ones
mentioned so far. One example is the page context, which stores state from one requrest
for a subsequent request.
Seam provides for model
-
based entity validation. Most web application require user
input to be validated. Sometimes this is done on th
e client side and sometimes it is done
on the server side, but it is almost always a function of the UI. Seam provides an
additional layer of model validation. Instead of only being about to say that an input field
must contain a valid email address, an
entity could use the Hibernate validation
annotations to express that the email address of the person entity should be a valid email
address. Seam can apply these validations any time an entity is used in a form.
Seam supports the jBPM pageflow definition
to describe the flow of pages in a
conversation. jBPM pageflow is simpler and cleaner than JSF navigation, and it allows
for a separation of flows in an application. Pageflow definitions can be created and
maintained using the visual process editor in
jBPM.
Seam applications and application components can be automatically generated, providing
the ability to get a Seam based application up and running quickly. This includes the
now
-
popular generation of CRUD applications from database schema.
Testing i
s central to JBoss Seam. Seam provides support for testing user interactions
with components in unit tests. These tests can be run, either in the IDE or from your
build script, without involving an application server.
Finally, JBoss Seam provides suppor
t for non
-
EJB development. This article show EJB3
integration, but Seam also supports Hibernate persistence directly. Application logic can
be written using plain JavaBeans instead of EJB3 session beans. Seam applications can
run inside of any applicat
ion server or even in a bare web container like Tomcat.
Conclusions
Seam is a powerful new application framework for managing contextual components.
Seam represents the next logical step in the evolution of applications, allowing web
application components
to take advantage

Pediatric geneticist earns NIH Early Independence AwardDr. Danny E. Miller hopes to advance new sequencing technologies to solve undiagnosed genetic disorders.
Media Contact: Leila Gray, _PHONE_, leilag(at)uw.edu
UW Medicine physician/scientist Danny E. Miller has received a competitive National Institutes of Health Director's Early Independence Award, which provides up to $1.25 million over 5 years. Miller is an assistant professor of pediatrics, Division of Genetic Medicine, and of laboratory medicine and pathology at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
The award, a part of the NIH's High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program, supports early-career scientists who have the intellect, creativity, drive, and maturity to lead an independent research program.
Miller's project is titled Long-Read DNA and RNA Sequencing to Identify Disease-Causing Genetic Variation and Streamline Testing.
Miller uses a recent advance in genome sequencing technology, called long-read sequencing, to improve the process of diagnosing genetic disorders and to explore how changes in DNA and RNA contribute to genetic disease.
Compared to earlier methods, long-read sequencing produces longer DNA or RNA fragments that, when assembled together, provide a clearer picture of structural changes in the genome. This technology can also reveal patterns in the genome that previous approaches missed. For example, long-read sequencing helps scientists better detect repeated sections of DNA and how often they are repeated. The repeats, called copy number variants, can have implications for predicting or diagnosing genetic disorders such as Huntington's disease or muscular dystrophy.
Miller's research mission is to tap into such recent genomic advances to help solve undiagnosed genetic disorders. For example, his lab employs innovative technologies to try to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of genetic testing in clinical settings. He wants to reduce the uncertainty and difficulty faced by patients and families with unexplained conditions.
"Today, genetic testing is stepwise: first one test, then another, and another. This can take years to navigate," Miller noted. "One of my goals is simplifying testing so patients don't have to wait as long to get a full genetic evaluation."
He predicts that long-read DNA and RNA sequencing may one day replace nearly every genetic test that physicians currently send out to clinical labs. He added that the diagnostic rate, which currently sits around 50%, would also likely be higher.
Although Miller's lab will concentrate in the short term on developing long-read sequencing for clinical use, in the long term his team will shift to the biological basis of the disorders they uncover using this technology.
His approach to mining human genomes attempts to seek out and characterize previously undiscovered genetic variation of medical importance. By evaluating challenging unsolved patient cases, Miller anticipates that he and other scientists in this field will gain new insights into cellular pathways that have been difficult to study with previous technology.
Miller first became acquainted with these technologies while he was an M.D./Ph.D. student in the lab of R. Scott Hawley at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and the University of Kansas. Afterward, during his combined residency in pediatrics and medical genetics at UW Medicine and Seattle Children's, he strengthened his expertise in this area by conducting studies in the lab of Evan E. Eichler, professor of genome sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Growing up as the child of deaf parents, Miller became curious about why deafness occurs. During high school, he taught himself to code and took a job in the telecommunications industry. He later earned an undergraduate degree in finance while working full-time. In the back of his mind, though, he began thinking about how he could combine his programming knowledge with science.
"Pediatric genetics was an easy fit for me because it combined my computational experience, my desire to see patients, and my need to work on really challenging problems," Miller said. "The fact that my parents were deaf probably played into my choice of medical and research specialty as well."
The award from the NIH will open doors for Miller not only as a scientist, but also as a teacher.
"It's amazing and humbling to have this level of support and flexibility so soon in my research career. It allows my lab to test new ideas and establish ourselves as experts in this growing field," Miller said. "I hope it also serves to attract graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Being a mentor and helping my students meet their goals is one of my biggest motivators."
Please see the NIH news release on its latest High Risk/High Rewards awards.

Dynamic interactions of shock waves and turbulent structures occur in a wide range of applications. The accurate simulation of turbulence in these flows requires a numerical scheme with minimal dissipation whereas the shock-capturing requires a dissipative scheme to stabilise the solution in the shock-wave discontinuous regions. These contradictory requirements make simulations of these flows extremely challenging. A compatible implementation of the solid boundary conditions at the point of incepting the acoustic waves and their internalisation into hydrodynamic instabilities is also challenging. Here we present, a high-fidelity, massively parallel and accurate solver for both direct numerical simulations and large-eddy simulations of supersonic turbulent flows in cylindrical coordinates. A hybrid WENO/ high order central difference scheme is used for the spatial discretisation with a fourth-order five-stage 2N-storage Runge–Kutta for the time integration. The least square contraction of Lilly is utilised for large-eddy subgrid-scale modelling. The solid surface boundary condition is implemented using the offset wall and ghost cell technique. The numerical implementation is validated through a wide range of test cases from simple to more complex cases. The numerical results show good agreement with analytical solutions and available experimental results. In the large-eddy simulation of a supersonic under-expanded impinging jet, it is observed that the conventional Ducros sensor leads to a more dissipative hybrid scheme. In this paper, a new shock sensor based on a WENO smoothness indicator is proposed and it is demonstrated to perform better especially in the simulation of the supersonic under-expanded impinging jet by limiting the expensive WENO scheme to the discontinuous regions and reducing the computational cost by approximately 10%.

Hopefully this is simple - I DataBind a bunch of labels and text controls in a Silverlight application (to DependencyProperties that I create in my class), but of course the text is empty at design time.
I'd still like to have an idea of how this will be laid out; is there a way to specify a design-time value, even though it's databound?

The feature you're looking for is Expression Blend Sample Data. Sample Data allows you to specify a Design Time data source that has some sample fields in it (names, addresses, numbers, images, hierarchies, etc).
Here's a good introduction article: _URL_
And here's a collection of links on Sample data: _URL_
The core of Sample Data is you use build a mock design time datasource in blend (shaped like your data types), define the type of sample data and the bindings get evaluated to give you a meaningful design time experience.

A Pragmatic Approach to Assessing System Change
Few topics create as much confusion and debate as system change, and many programs feel stuck when it comes to assessing it. The field has struggled to agree on an approach that programs can implement and stakeholders can understand. Consequently, practice varies widely and many are frustrated or confused.
The problems development practitioners are trying to address occur because of how systems work. Tackling those problems in a lasting and significant way requires helping systems to become more effective, inclusive, and resilient. System change is a change to how a system works and to what happens as a result. Planning for and assessing system change is, therefore, a strategic management issue, critical for everything from developing a strategy and designing interventions, to adapting strategies, improving implementation and reporting impact.
Two case examples are used for illustration throughout this publication: 'Skills for Jobs' work in the VET system in Albania and PRISMA's work in the maize system in East Java, Indonesia. While the cases are based on real programs, they have been significantly modified for learning purposes and do not represent the current situation of the programs, partners, and interventions.

Real Inclusion is more than just words and numbers.
Inclusion, diversity and transformation are buzzwords in South Africa at the moment. Does this mean that everyone is on the same page with what Inclusion means? Does inclusion just mean ticking off a checklist of marginalized identities? How can we move beyond tokenism and create real change and inclusion in gaming? and why is this so important?

Overview of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
feroz shah kotla fort information
The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is one of the best places that gets visited by many tourists in the world. The site consists of the Ashokan pillar on the one side and Jami Masjid on the other side. The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is a fortress fort that has built by Delhi sultanate during the 14th century.
The sultan Feroz Shah then named the fort by Ferozabad. The fort consists of various gardens, Baoli palaces, madrassas, and mosques, which get visited by most of the visitors. The place was in use when Mughals were facing a significant issue of water in their area named Tughlaqabad.
The most remarkable feature of the Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Delhi is that it consists of Ashoka Pillar that is thirteen meters long. The pillar stands in a pyramid structure building, and it is a magnificent pillar. The fort consists of support that has brought by Shah from Ambala, and then it got engraved with lots of principals of Ashoka edicts.
History of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
feroz shah kotla fort history
The city of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Delhi got constructed during 1354, which gets considered as the capital of Delhi Sultanate during 1354. It consists of 13 meters long pillars named Ashoka pillars on its side.
These pillars have constructed by using polished sandstone, and it got installed in Sultanate's fort by using three-tier pavilions.
The Mughal's built Feroz Shah Kotla Fort when they were facing a significant problem of shortage of water. Then they shifted from Tughlakabad to the Firozabad due to a lack of water in their area, and that is why a fort built near the Yamuna Nagar, which helped them solve the problem of water.
It consists of various places like Madrasas, gardens, palaces, and mosques that are very popular and exciting for sightseeing. The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort history provides an excellent blessing for djinns because the place is famous for its benefits and problem-solving.
The Architecture of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
feroz shah kotla fort
Feroz Shah Kotla is one of the most massive and ancient forts that consist of excellent architecture work. Much architecture, including Malik Ghazi and Abdul Hakk, designed the fort in such elegant ways that Feroz Shah Kotla fort architecture gets admired these days.
Both Malik Ghazi and Abdul Hakk have helped in building the polygon shape of the fort. Feroz Shah was the main person behind the building of a fort when their area was facing a significant problem of water supply. The fort has a built-in irregular shape on the side of the Yamuna River to get the problem provision of water.
Haunted Story of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
Haunted Story of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
People believe that Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Delhi is a very haunting place, and many recommend that visitors should not visit the area after sunset. The fort has a significant impact on Djinns, spirits, and ghosts that roam around the place after the sunset.
It has got constructed in the heart of the city that is behind the ITO press lane, and it is very near to Kotla Cricket Stadium. The local people get seen every Thursday that they offer milk and various products to djinns so that they can understand their wishes to come true. You can also find that many mentally disturbed people visit Feroz Shah Kotla Fort to get solace.
It gets said that djinns are shapeless that can get married and even can have kids, but they are formless, unlike humans. Visitors need to know that they are not like angels, and they can get bad as well as moody at any period. The remarkable fact is that bad djinns mainly prey on young women when they find them alone and on the roof while they were drying their hair.

Things to see at Feroz Shah Kotla Fort:
Ruins of Palace:
feroz shah kotla fort image
The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort information includes that Ruins of Palace is a great place to visit inside the fort. The beautiful palace had got built by Mughla's during the fourteen century when they were having a significant problem of water in their city. The famous Sultan Feroz Shah made the place which gets named as Ferozabad.
Pyramid Structure:
Pyramid Structure
The Ashoka Pillars have brought in the fort during 236 BC from Ambala, and then it was not easy to install the pillar in fort because of the large size of components. Thus, pyramidal structured with three-story was get made to establish the Ashoka pillar in the fort very smoothly and successfully. The black and white stones used to make the pyramidal structures, which consist of Kalash at the top.
Mosque (Jami Masjid):
Kotla Masjid
It is one of the oldest and largest mosques of the Feroz Shah Kotla Fort that gets still used by visitors. It has built by using an extreme series of underground quartzite stone that covers the limestone. The Jami Masjid consists of exciting surroundings that include large courtyards of cloisters and hall for prayers. These prayer halls have once used by the royal ladies of the 14th century, and the architecture of the Masjid supports as an excellent example of Tughluq structures.
Top Ashokan Pillar:
Ashokan Pillar
The 13-meter tall pillar has accurately placed on the north side of the Masjid that lies inside the fort. The Ashokan pillar of Meerut got rebuilt by Kolkata's society after the explosion on the component, and then both of the Ashokan Pillars has completely wrapped with cotton silk. Then the pillars have transported by a large number of people on the carriage of 42 wheels to the Feroz Shah Tughluq so that they can prevent the components from any other damage.
Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Baoli
Baoli is a stepwell that lies on the northwestern side of the pillars of the fortress. It has got constructed in subterranean departments that lie on the vast gardens of the fort. It also consists of an underground canal that includes running water wells on the side.
It is a very famous Baoli of Delhi, which consists of a tank with the well. It is the old times; visitors were able to enter the Baoli from the north and east side, but now only the west side is accessible to join. You, as a visitor, can not enter the place because of some security reasons, but researchers can quickly enter the area after permission.

With the release of Solr 7.0 and introduction of new replica types, in addition to the defa?ult NRT type the question appeared – can we control the queries and where they are executed? Can we tell Solr to execute the queries only on the PULL replicas or give TLOG replicas a priority? Let's check that out.
The first control option that we have in SolrCloud is the shards parameter. Using it we can directly control which shards should be used for querying. For example we can provide a logical shard name in our query:
The first of the above queries will be executed only on those shards that are grouped under the logical shard1 name. The second query will be executed on logical shard1, shard2 and shard3, while the third query will be executed on the shards that are deployed on the localhost:6683 node on the test collection
There is also a possibility to do load balancing across instances, for example:
The above query will be executed on instance running on port 6683 or on the one running on port 7783.
While the shards parameter gives us some degree of control where the query should be executed it is not exactly what we would like to have. However to use a certain type of replica we would have to get the data about the physical layout of the shards and this is not something that we would like to do. Because of that the shards.preference parameter has been introduced to Solr. It allows us to tell Solr what type of replicas should have the priority when executing query.
For example, to tell Solr that PULL type replicas should have priority when the query is executed one should add the shards.preference parameter to the query and set it to replica.type:PULL:
The nice thing is that we can tell Solr that first PULL replicas should be used and then if they are not available TLOG replicas should be used:
We can also define that PULL types replicas should be used first and if they are not available local shards should have the priority:
In addition to the above example we can also define priority based on location of the replicas. For example if our 192.168.1.1 Solr node is way more powerful compared to the others and we would like to first prioritize PULL replicas and then the mentioned Solr node we would run the following query:
The discussed parameters and the shards.preference in particular with its replica.type value can be very useful when we are using SolrCloud with different types of replicas. Telling Solr that we would like to prefer PULL or TLOG replicas we can lower the query based pressure on the NRT replicas and thus have better performance of the whole cluster. What's more – dividing the replicas can help us in achieving query performance that is close what Solr master – slave architecture provides without sacrificing all the goodies that come with SolrCloud itself.

External Treatment Effects and Program Implementation Bias
NBER Technical Working Paper No. 250
This paper discusses the definition and identification of external treatment effects and experimental designs capable of detecting these effects. External effects occur when the outcome of a given individual is affected by the treatment assignments of other individuals. The paper argues that two-stage randomization schemes, which randomize allocation of treatments across communities and randomizes the treatments themselves within communities, are useful for identifying private and external treatment effects. The importance of external treatment effects are illustrated in the context of several health economics applications: the impact of R&D subsidies, smoking prevention programs for youth, and the evaluation of HIV-prevention programs currently taking place in Africa.

I am new to Infix and have faced the issue of letters overlapping each other when an old text is replaced with a new one. Some blocks of text are editable well enough but others are a hard nut to crack. I've spent hours figuring out what else can be done to insert my translation instead of the existing text. I've tried changing character space but didn't get anywhere with it. The letters still appear like glued when typed.

Can you send us the PDF you are trying to edit? We will then take a look and let you know what we find.
What email should I use?
Please send to _EMAIL_
If it's a very large PDF (and you can't give us just a few pages) then we can supply an FTP address.
Done. Please, take a look and respond ASAP.
The reason you are encountering problems editing the text you mentioned in the document is because the characters in the document contain large negative letter spacing values.
This is down to the software that produced the pdf.
There is a way around the problem, by using the "Text Spacing Dialog". Just follow the following steps:
- Open the "Text Spacing Dialog", you can do this by selecting "Text->Spacing..." from the main menu in Infix.
- Select the text you wish to edit with the "Text Edit" (T) tool and delete it.
- On the "Text Spacing" dialog click on the red 'X' this will reset the spacing for the text.
- Type the text you wish to inset, it should now be spaced correctly.
If the text drops off or beyond the confines of the current box you can make the text box larger by clicking and dragging the text box by one of the smaller boxes on the left, right, top or bottom of the selection box. You can see when you are over one of the resizing boxes as the mouse cursor will change when you are over one.
You can also change the font size by selecting text and choosing/typing a new font size in the "Text Format" toolbar. The font size is displayed next to the font in the toolbar.
You can open the toolbar by selecting "View->Toolbars->Text Format" from the main menu.


corporation name "Subex Systems" contains the fanciful descriptor "Subex", it might be expected that the omission of the "Ltd." suffix would barely, if at all, affect a final score. As the omission of a last name might highly problematic, the fraud detection device 340 might be configured to handle the situation in different ways depending on whether such an omission occurred in a new record or a blacklist record. For example, if the omission occurred in a new record, i.e., the record for a prospective new subscriber, the fraud detection device 340 might automatically reject the new subscriber, and send a special message to the respective client. On the other hand, should the omission occur in the blacklist record, the fraud detection device 340 might err to be over-inclusive or under-inclusive. Should the omission concern a middle-initial or middle-name, such differences may be weighted heavily, weighted lightly or altogether discounted.

 FIG. 4G depicts a "specific word exclusion" match. As shown in FIG. 4G, a "specific word exclusion" match can be made to discount certain words entirely from consideration, especially commonly used corporate words or suffixes. For the example of FIG. 4G, the word "systems", which may be considered a common/frequent word, is totally excluded from consideration while the term "Subex" being uncommon/fanciful is considered.
 - [0045]
 As opposed to total omission from consideration, common/frequent words may be heavily discounted in comparison to uncommon/fanciful words. For the example of FIG. 4G, a match for the word "Subex" might be heavily weighted while a match for the word "Systems" might be weighted a quarter as much.
 - [0046]
 FIG. 4H depicts a "minimum length" or "title exclusion" match. As shown in FIG. 4H, when a minimum length for words is required for consideration, the effect is to exclude short words, such as common personal titles or suffixes as well as corporate suffixes, from consideration. In contrast to a minimum length match, a title exclusion match might be designed to eliminate all titles and suffixes. For example, by eliminating the corporate suffixes "Limited" and "Ltd." from consideration, a process akin to that of FIG. 4B (abbreviation match) might be realized with different accuracy.
 - [0047]
 As might be considered a variant to the abbreviation match or the title exclusion match, titles and suffixes also may be looked at for agreement or disagreement. For example, the title "Dr." and the suffix "M.D." might be considered perfect matches or substantial enough matches to consider. In comparison, the title "Dr." and a suffix "Ph.D." (Doctorate of Philosophy) might also be considered a perfect or substantial match while the title "Dr." and a suffix "J.D." (Doctorate of Jurisprudence) might me considered an unlikely match.

 FIG. 5 is a flowchart outlining an exemplary operation according to the present disclosure for determining whether a prospective subscriber is likely to commit telecommunications fraud in a telecommunications network. The process starts in step 502 where a blacklist (or inclusively a "greylist") of records are generated. As discussed above, such a list can be derived from a variety of sources, including competing companies, and can include a variety of fields of personal information. Next, in step 504, a prospective subscriber record from a client is received. Then, in step 506, a first blacklist record is selected for textual comparison. Control continues to step 508.
 - [0049]
 In step 508, a first textual matching operation is selected from a set of different matching operations, and can include any of those matching operations outlined above with regard to FIGS. 4A-4H as well as other matching operations not discussed. For the present embodiment, the hierarchy/ordering of matching operations can be made according to a variety of criteria, such as simplicity of processing and/or likelihood of producing the best matches. However, in other embodiments matching can be made according to any criteria or no criteria at all. Control continues to step 510.
 - [0050]
 In step 510, the matching operation selected in step 508 is performed between the respective fields of prospective subscriber record received in step 504 and the blacklist record selected in step 506. Next, in step 520, a determination is made as to whether there is a match between the two records. In the present embodiment, a match can be determined based on the scoring and threshold procedures discussed above. However, the exact procedures used to determine a match can vary from embodiment to embodiment as may be found advantageous. If a match is found, control jumps to step 540; otherwise, control continues to step 530.
 - [0051]
 In step 530, a determination is made as to whether textual matching between the two records is complete, i.e., all available matching techniques have been applied. If the textual matching operation between the two records is complete, control jumps to step 540; otherwise, control continues to step 532.
 - [0052]
 In step 532, the next textual matching operation in the hierarchy of operations is selected, and control jumps back to step 510 where the processes of steps 510-532 are repeated until either a match is found (step 520) or the available matching operations are exhausted (step 530).
 - [0053]
 In step 540, the results of a match (or lack of a match) can be sent to the client, and control continues to step 550 where the process stops, or optionally control can jump back to step 506 where another blacklist record can be selected for textual matching.

Three Historical Buildings Live in Camden, Arkansas
Camden, Arkansas, has a population in excess of 13,000 and is considered the "Queen City" of the Ouachita River. More than 65 churches' doors stand ajar daily, and the city's education system is second to none.
Many famous people have graced the town of Camden, whether performing, visiting or living here. Among them are poet Edgar Allen Poe, who was employed by the Camden Herald Newspaper for three months in 1847; Elvis Presley, who played at the auditorium three times in 1957; Sam Walton, who lived here before he founded Wal-Mart; prohibitionist Carrie Nation, who held a rally here in 1906; and Will Rogers, who performed here in 1928.
Camden is also home to many auxiliaries and activities, but its reputation lies in the three historical buildings in town.
The McCollum-Chidester House was constructed in 1847 by Peter McCollum and features furnishings from the Civil War. There are even some bullet holes in a wall on the second story of the house. Gen. Sterling Price of the Confederate Army and Gen. Frederick Steel of the Union Army headquartered at the house at different times during the Civil War. After 12 years of living in the house, McCollum sold the house to John and Leah Chidester. A portrait of Leah Chidester hangs over the fireplace in the living room.
The Leake-Ingham Library was built in 1850 as a law office for attorney Col. William W. Leake. The building was originally located downtown, but has been moved several times and is presently located on the lawn of the McCollum-Chidester House. The building was occupied by various businesses over the years, until 1906, when it became Camden's first library.
The third of Camden's historical buildings is the Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot, which houses the offices of the Camden Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Camden, as well as a small museum of railroad and Civil War memorabilia.
All three buildings are listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
Another piece of Camden's history is our annual Daffodil Festival, which brings thousands of visitors to the town.

Edison's Birthplace in Milan, Ohio, is Historical Landmark
Driving by Thomas Edison's small birthplace home recently, the lights were on, and we thought about how when he was born, candles would have been flickering because he hadn't yet invented the light bulb.
The brick home, fronted by a white picket fence, was built by Edison's father in 1841. It is tucked away on a quiet side street in the historic district, two blocks from the Town Square, in Milan, Ohio.
In the 1840s, Milan was a busy grain port, and the year Edison was born, it had become the second largest wheat shipping port in the world. It was also a ship building center, producing 75 lake schooners that same year. This place was a flourishing little metropolis back then.
The Edison home is three stories (visible from the back), having been built into the side of a sloping hill. Born here on a rope bed in a tiny bedroom off the sitting room on February 11, 1847, Thomas was the youngest of seven children. The home has been restored and furnished as it was originally, but with the addition of indoor plumbing, electricity and air conditioning.
Visitors find a collection of said-to-be rare Edisonia, including examples of many of self-taught genius Thomas Alva Edison's early inventions, documents and family mementos. The brilliant inventor, although slightly eccentric some say, went on to garner 1,093 patents to his credit.
The family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, in 1854, and following that, young Edison made a series of moves and jobs that took him to many cities and states – all the time being fascinated with inventions that would shape his future, as well as that of the country, and eventually the world.
He was back in Port Huron at the age of 20, but soon moved on to Boston, then to New York City. He earned a tidy nest egg from one of his inventions, and in 1870, he built a complex in a New Jersey community, where he became known as the Wizard of Menlo Park. He remained in New Jersey for more than 40 years, creating and developing many ingenious inventions.
Back in the family
While the home was out of family ownership for some 40 years after Edison's father moved the family in 1854, one of Edison's sisters acquired it again in 1894. She added a bathroom and other modern conveniences.
In 1906, Edison bought back his birthplace home in Milan, but he was an absentee owner. When he made his last visit there in 1923, he was shocked to find his old home still lit by candles and oil lamps. He saw to it then that changes were made, and the house was wired for electricity.
After Edison's death in October 1931, the opening of his birthplace to the public as a memorial and house museum was originally the private project of his wife and their daughter, who owned the property by then.
The house was restored as closely as possible to its original appearance, and today, it is a National Historic Landmark. However, in order to ensure its permanent preservation, the Edison Birthplace Association was formed some years later, and the nonprofit organization continues to own and maintain the museum.
In a small building next to the house is the ticket office, which includes a display of photographs and several early model phonographs, and is the starting place for the daily tours.
Visitors enter the Edison Birthplace through the side door into the sitting room. To the rear is the bedroom where Edison was born. Narrow, steep stairs opposite the front door lead to two bedrooms on either side of the upper landing – one was Edison's parents' room and the other belonged to his two sisters.
A back stairway on the main floor leads down to the large basement kitchen, which opens to the garden on the lower slope of the hill. The kitchen is furnished with articles and utensils of that time period, including a wall clock. It's said that Edison's mother kept a disciplinary switch behind the clock.
On and around the property are bronze Ohio Historical Markers, offering added details of the birthplace home, Edison's recollections of Milan, and details of the Milan Canal Basin, which helped the town become a leading Great Lakes port.
While there were no accomplishments by young Edison in his seven years at the Milan home, it is nonetheless a significant historic site. The town is proud to be known as the birthplace of one of America's most famous and prodigious inventors.

Town of St. Patrick, Missouri, is Proud of Its Irish Heritage
St. Patrick, Missouri, is a uniquely Irish town, with a population of only 17.
Richard and Rose Simpson Riney, descendants of Irish immigrants and my great-great-grandparents, were the first settlers in 1833. The following year, they built a log church, which they named St. Patrick's Church.
Father Bernard Patrick McMenomy, of Donegal, Ireland, was pastor at the time, and named the settlement St. Patrick. He also obtained a post office in 1858.
Much later, Father Thomas Dempsey, of Offaly, Ireland, worked for several years to obtain a gravel road to replace the dirt road that became muddy when it rained. His efforts were successful, and when the road was graveled in 1933, it became Dempsey Highway. Unfortunately, Father Dempsey passed away in 1931 and didn't get to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
In 1935, Father Francis O'Duignan of Longford, Ireland, came to St. Patrick as the pastor. He dreamed of building a shrine to honor St. Patrick, the patron saint of his native Ireland, and to thank America for being a refuge for Irish immigrants.
In 1936, Father O'Duignan designed a cachet, which is still used today, and placed it on 500 letters to be mailed on March 17, the first St. Patrick's Day mailing, asking for donations to help build the Shrine of St. Patrick.
The mailing grew, as folks from all over the world sent letters to be postmarked in
St. Patrick, making their ordinary envelopes collector's items. Tiny St. Patrick, Missouri, is the only town in the world named St. Patrick that has a post office.
Realizing a dream
Twenty-one years later, on March 17, 1957, the Shrine of St. Patrick was dedicated, and Father O'Duignan's "impossible dream" was fulfilled.
The impressive Shrine of St. Patrick is fashioned after the Church of Four Masters in Donegal, Ireland. It has 37 stained glass windows from Dublin, Ireland, interior marble from Italy and Spain, Celtic crosses and an Irish round tower. In addition, a flagstone from Ireland's Croagh Patrick is embedded in the floor. That was done so Father O'Duignan could stand on a piece of Ireland during Mass.
The tiny post office offers the pictorial cancellation during the entire month of March, and the cancellation changes each year. This year, more than 8,000 letters were cancelled.
Each year, on St. Patrick's Day, the

Danziger Werft AG
|Historical Name of Location||Danzig|
Contributor: C. Peter Chen
ww2dbaseIn 1804, the Jan Klawitter shipyard was established in the city of Danzig, then a part of the Kingdom of Prussia (now Gdansk, Poland). In 1844, the Prussian government purchased 5 acres of land on the Vistula River as the location for its first shipyard, including the Jan Klawitter facilities, and the construction work began immediately. In 1849, the shipyard neared completion and was named the Marine Depot. By 1854, the shipyard had the name of Royal Shipyard Danzig and reported to the Technical Department of the German Admiralty. In 1861, the shipyard expanded, acquiring land from the banks of the Vistula up to the gasworks. Already in place was one patent slip which consisted of three carriage trains which pulled the vessel onto a cradle and then out of the water onto a slip. Additionally there was a dock basin and a floating dry dock, a boiler-house and other various workshops. In 1871, it was renamed the Kaiserliche Werft Danzig. In 1878, a three-leg crane was purchased, and it was later put on a pontoon. As warships were becoming larger, the depth of the Visula was continually interfering with construction and the slips were not of sufficient length and width, thus by 1910 the shipyard had to settle for building smaller cruisers and repair work. In 1919, after WW1 and as Danzig became a free city subjected to demilitarization, it was renamed the Danzig Shipyard and Railway Workshops, with the city-state being its new owner. Very shortly after, the 33 submarines currently under construction were scrapped. In 1922, the shipyard became the joint stock company International Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited (German: Danziger Werft und EisenbahnwerkstĂ¤tten AG), or Danziger Werft for short, from its German name. Danziger Werft's ownership breakdown at this time was 30% by a French company, 30% by a British company, 20% by a Danzig bank, and 20% by a Polish bank. During the 1920s, the shipyard operated mostly under maximum capacity, generally building small merchant ships, tug boats, and motor boats. During the first half of the 1930s, the company suffered during the global economic down turn, but survived. In the late 1930s, as business increased, and Germany promised increased orders as it looked to expand its naval forces. Danziger Werft added a new tool shop, a new boiler plant, a compressed air workshop, a compressor plant, and a third slip for building ships up to 150 meters and up to 15,000 tons during this time. License production of MAN ship engines was also started. In the opening chapters of the European War of WW2, Danzig was taken over by Germany, along with the shipyard. One year later, the shipyard was officially taken over by German owners and was renamed Danziger Werft AG. During WW2, the shipyard built Type VII submarines for the German Navy, and it suffered many raids by Allied aerial bombing. After the war, the shipyard was largely dismantled by the Soviet Union. It was ultimately taken over by the Polish government and was merged with the nearby F. Schichau Danzig shipyard to form the new Stocznia Gdanska. It was renamed Stocznia Gdansk Spolka Akcyjna in 1990. It remains in operations at the time of this writing in 2019.

I enjoy watching children creating healthy relationships with food and truly connecting with the food they eat. The year 6 students at our local primary school have been looking after the vegetable garden this year, with the help and guidance of a very generous staff member. There are a group of them that can be found there most lunch times, watering the plants and weeding. The students harvest the plants and hold a market stall every Wednesday afternoon. Earlier in the year, they each adopted a wilted plant and have been particularly responsible for nurturing their plants. Recently they harvested my daughter's adopted beetroots – "Sweet Beet" and "Beatie Bow". I had the honour of purchasing these special beetroots which we used in this deliciously creamy beetroot soup.
1 tbsp canola oil
1 medium leek, trimmed, halved, washed, thinly sliced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 stalks of celery, sliced
4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tsp salt
6 cups of water
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp chopped chives
- Trim the stems and leaves from the beetroot. Peel and dice the beetroot.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium high heat. Add the leek, carrot, and celery and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the beetroot and potato and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the salt and water. Cover the saucepan and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beetroot is tender.
- Blend the soup until smooth.
- Serve in bowls drizzled with sour cream and sprinkled with chives.
- I always wear an apron when preparing beetroot.
- Peel beetroot under running water to avoid staining hands.
- This recipe is suitable for a moderate chemical elimination diet.
- It is gluten free.
- If dairy products need to be avoided, you can omit the sour cream.

An economic assessment of algal turf scrubber technology for treatment of dairy manure effluent
Controlling the input of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from dairies and other livestock operations into the surrounding air- and water-sheds poses both technical and economic challenges to the agricultural community. The purpose of this paper is to assess the economics of algal turf scrubber treatment technology at the farm-scale for a hypothetical 1000-cow dairy. Costs were developed for farms with and without anaerobic pretreatment. The majority of capital costs were due to land preparation, installation of liner material, and engineering fees. The majority of operational costs were due to energy requirements for biomass drying, pumping water, and repayment of capital investment. On farms using anaerobic pretreatment, waste heat from burning of biogas could be used to offset the energy requirements of biomass drying. In addition, biogas combustion exhaust gas could then be recycled back to the algal system to supply dissolved inorganic carbon for optimal algal production and pH control. Under the best case (algal system coupled with anaerobic digestion pretreatment), the yearly operational costs per cow, per kg N, per kg P, and per kg of dried biomass were $454, $6.20, $31.10, and $0.70, respectively. Without anaerobic digestion pretreatment, the yearly operational costs were 36% higher, amounting to $631 per cow, $8.70 per kg N, $43.20 per kg P, and $0.97 per kg of dried biomass. For perspective, a recent survey of 36 Maryland dairy farms found long-term annual profits of about $500 per cow. As no market currently exists for manure grown algal biomass, our cost analysis does not include any value of the biomass generated during manure treatment. In addition, there are a variety of potential uses for the algal biomass from manure treatment that could defray treatment costs. Future opportunities for dairies to participate in nutrient trading approaches to watershed nutrient management may also become important.

The High Latitude Heliosphere
The Symposium on which the present book is based focused on out-of-ecliptic results obtained by the highly successful Ulysses mission prior to the start of its first polar pass. Topics addressed include the solar corona, the large-scale structure of the solar wind and heliosphere, energetic particles and cosmic rays, and interstellar gas and cosmic dust. The papers published here provide an up-to-date account of our understanding of the three-dimensional structure of the heliosphere near solar minimum.
Particular emphasis is placed on in-situ measurements made by Ulysses covering the range of solar latitudes from the Equator to 50° South.

EM3 was the only Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), among six other organisations, to have been awarded a grant by the Government's Space Agency to develop the strengths of the UK's space sector.
An action plan has been published by the Space Hub Consortium for the EM3 area outlining how partnership and collaboration between the sector, academia and other major industries such as aerospace, immersive reality, AI, 5G, Animal Medtech, Net Zero technologies and maritime, are supporting the commercialisation of innovation. The Consortium is an alliance of local organisations, listed below, promoting innovation and growth of the regional space sector.
The EM3 Space Cluster Development Project action plan sets out how cross-sector collaboration can generate "world-changing opportunities" including real-time monitoring of carbon emission, solar and wind energy, tracking animals on land, sea and air, and the deployment of resources for disaster management.
Industry leaders have welcomed the plan, which is intended to attract further talent and investment to the area's space sector, which has recently been recognised by the Government for its potential as one of only seven places in the UK to receive 'Space Hub' status.


Rights Respecting School

Hackney New Primary School receives the Rights Respecting Silver Award a prestigious Unicef UK Award
HNPS promotes the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and we are working towards being a UNICEF recognised Rights Respecting School.
This means that we place the language of rights and responsibility at the heart of our behaviour policy and Personal, Social, and Health Education lessons.
Examples of rights from the Convention and how we apply this in school include:
 1. Article 6
 every child has a right to life, to survive and develop
 This is the key to understanding why we have certain rules at school.
 2. Article 12
 every child has a right to a say in matters affecting them
 This is the key principle of our school council.
 3. Article 28
 every child has the right to education
 We use this right to explain the importance of not calling out and working together in the classroom.

Families close ranks to support Morningside School and staff
PORT ST. LUCIE - At Morningside Elementary, parents consider themselves part of a family.
To most people outside the school family, however, it's the place where a 5-year-old autistic boy was voted out of his kindergarten class a year ago.
Within hours after news of Alex Barton being voted out of his classroom 14-to-2, the school's phones and e-mail system were jammed with angry people from all over the world. The school's Web site was taken down and still is offline.
Morningside parents couldn't get through in some instances. Some teachers got threatening e-mails.
Parent Shanna Cetin said she answered the phones in the office after news broke about the incident.
"I was in tears. My child had to sit in that school, and I was scared," Cetin said.
Parents said their school has been unfairly and unjustly tarnished over the past year.
They're tired of their children hearing comments when they tell strangers where they attend school.
"We love our school. We love our teachers," Cetin said.
What makes the school great is the teachers who know all the children, not just the ones in their classes, parents said.
It's the teachers who call parents during lunch on the first day of school just to tell them their child is having a good day.
It's the fall festivals, where teachers man tables to raise money for classroom supplies, and the Saturdays when teachers volunteer to help children prepare for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test or chaperone a St. Augustine trip.
About 20 parents stood alongside the road earlier this month holding signs to support their teachers.
"We just want to say some nice, positive things about Morningside," said parent Patti Putko. "The school has had too much negativity. We want to end the school year on a positive note."
The demonstration was during teacher appreciation week. Teachers watched from the school campus until the end of the workday, then walked across the street to stand with the parents.
They had a group hug in the middle of the road and teacher Eric Graff thanked the parents for coming out.
Morningside faculty and administrators still aren't allowed to talk about the Alex Barton vote because of pending legal action.
But during teacher Wendy Portillo's administrative hearing in March over her suspension for polling the class, staff members told a judge how the case affected their school.
"We've taken a hit, a lot of us personally and professionally," Graff testified. "But we're still going. We're still a very good school."
Assistant Principal Patricia Gascoigne also testified about the impact the vote and its attention has had on the school.
"It's not really been good because we've been a little put off, you would say, because it's not a customary thing that happens at Morningside," she testified. "It's more or less we're trying to get through it."
Parents said teachers try not to let their feelings affect their students.
"Under the circumstances, I think the kids are faring pretty well," said grandparent Wayne Schopp.
There is one positive result of the vote from a year ago, said parent Tonia Oravec.
"It has brought the school closer together," she said.

Hannetjie van der Westhuizen and her companions had a close experience with the large cat species while driving on the S100 in South Africa's Kruger Park.
While looking inside, the curious lion nibbled on a wing mirror and rubbed its paws to the vehicle's glass.
The curious predator started by nibbling on the wing mirror, its teeth constantly pressing around the plastic. When the lion notices the person inside, it presses its massive paws and nose against the glass, gazing intently inside.
"I've been traveling to the park for 48 years and have never seen a lion without binoculars and a lot of imagination, but it's never occurred like this."
"At first, we were terrified and delighted, but we soon discovered that the lion was more curious and fun in his examination of a strange object."
"He started nibbling on the tires with his sharp teeth, and I was worried that they might be damaged, so we decided to replace one."
In Kruger Park, it is possible to drive with the windows down, and it is recommended since you may hear the noises of the forest.
However, if you come across a lion sighting when the animals are practically on top of the road, you should keep your windows down.


"First Night" is a critique of gender-biased stereotypes across the Caucasus region that infiltrates and dictates the social life in these countries. Central to these codes of behavior is female chastity, often leading to extreme measures such as Hymenoplasty (the surgical repair of a vaginal membrane) in order to conceal the sexual experiences of a woman. In this work Ibrahimova performs squats to reenact a common practice for testing against this intervention.
In the video "Naftalan" the artist tries to scrap off the oil from her body, musing on the resource's overwhelming significance in framing the collective unconscious of the country.
"Red Carpet" the red carpet in the hallway of a refugee dormitory in an evening dress. Due to the ongoing military conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over a million refugees left their homes and found shelter wherever they could at the time, including Soviet-inherited dormitories. The overall atmosphere of those dormitories is obviously that of extreme poverty, which is an over juxtaposition with the lush appearance of the city and the image our country strives to project as a whole


The Project
Between 1927 and 1951 millions of Christian posters entered the Chinese market. Printed by the thousands onto the cheapest paper, most were used in street preaching and teaching. Others were hung in tearooms and shop windows, or put up with starch and brooms on city gates and local temples. The bright-colored posters briefly attracted attention before they tore, were covered by a more current notice, or dissolved in the rain. These visual messages competed aggressively for the soul of China. The Center for Global Christianity & Mission, funded by the Henry Luce Foundation, is pleased to make hundreds of these rare images digitally accessible and searchable for the first time.
Popular Theology
Chinese Christian propaganda posters were produced for the masses. Displayed in public spaces, artists created posters for popular consumption. What would make Jesus and the Christian message immediately comprehensible and appealing? Who did the people want Jesus to be, and what did they think the Savior needed to rescue them from? Propaganda posters portray the gospel, not as Chinese theologians wrote about it, but as artists pictured it for the common people. Through five hundred images, it is possible to explore how these posters portrayed salvation to a nation in crisis.

text: Restoring hydrologic connectivity between channels and floodplains is common practice in stream and river restoration. Floodplain hydrology and hydrogeology impact stream hydraulics, ecology, biogeochemical processing, and pollutant removal, yet rigorous field evaluations of surface water–groundwater exchange within floodplains during overbank floods are rare. We conducted five sets of experimental floods to mimic floodplain reconnection by pumping stream water onto an existing floodplain swale. Floods were conducted throughout the year to capture seasonal variation and each involved two replicate floods on successive days to test the effect of varying antecedent moisture. Water levels and specific conductance were measured in surface water, soil, and groundwater within the floodplain, along with surface flow into and out of the floodplain. Vegetation density varied seasonally and controlled the volume of surface water storage on the floodplain. By contrast, antecedent moisture conditions controlled storage of water in floodplain soils, with drier antecedent moisture conditions leading to increased subsurface storage and slower flood wave propagation across the floodplain surface. The site experienced spatial heterogeneity in vertical connectivity between surface water and groundwater across the floodplain surface, where propagation of hydrostatic pressure, preferential flow, and bulk Darcy flow were all mechanisms that may have occurred during the five floods. Vertical connectivity also increased with time, suggesting higher frequency of floodplain inundation may increase surface water–groundwater exchange across the floodplain surface. Understanding the variability of floodplain impacts on water quality noted in the literature likely requires better accounting for seasonal variations in floodplain vegetation and antecedent moisture as well as heterogeneous exchange flow mechanisms.

When Lorraine Gibbard became a Christian, she could not imagine the tumultuous journey that awaited her. A sudden onset of mental illness shattered her successful life and left her feeling lost in a foreign land. Clinging to her new-found faith, she set out on the long journey of recovery.
Growing daily in trust and dependence on God, Lorraine began to see how compassionately Jesus viewed those suffering mental distress. As she learnt about prayer and healing, and the nature of God's Kingdom, she was inspired to set up the Mental Health Fellowship. Supporting individuals and their carers for thirteen years, the fellowship demonstrated how mental health services and the church could work together to transform lives.


How are diamonds found in Africa?
In this south central region, diamonds are mined from kimberlite mines in South Africa, Angola and the DRC, and from alluvial dredging mining operations in Angola, Namibia and again, South Africa. West African diamond mining is mostly from altered kimberlite pipes and eluvial deposits.

Why are most diamonds found in Africa?
Diamonds in Africa were formed somewhere between 600 million and 3 billion years ago when titanic-force pressure and heat caused carbon 1,200 miles (1,931 km) below the Earth's surface to crystallize. As recently as a million years ago, erupting molten rock brought the diamonds closer to the Earth's surface.
IT IS INTERESTING: Question: What was Africa originally called?
How do they mine diamonds in Africa?
The first diamonds discovered in South Africa were from alluvial deposits. Today, industrial alluvial mining involves building a large wall to collect the water in one area. Diamonds are often found in the gravel layer, which collects under layers of other material, such as mud, clay and underwater plant-life.
Are diamonds only found in Africa?
Diamonds are present in about 35 countries. South Africa, Russia and Botswana are the main producers of gem diamond while Australia produces most of the industrial diamond. They are also found in India, Russia, Siberia, Brazil, China, Canada and the United States.

Which country in Africa has the highest diamond?
The Democratic Republic of Congo has the largest diamond reserves on the continent. However, in 2018, production was around 16.390 million carats of diamonds.
Are Diamonds cheap in Africa?
Many diamonds are mined in Africa but are only sold in bulk to diamond cutters. … Another reason you'll find diamonds are cheaper in other countries is the retail markup. Countries like India and China have a lower percentage of retail markups than we see in the US. This lower margin helps you to save even more money.

How much do African diamond miners get paid?
Diamond miners who work in small-scale mining – panning or digging for diamonds – produce about 15% of the world's diamonds. But their wages do not reflect the value of their work. An estimated one million diamond diggers in Africa earn less than a dollar a day. This unlivable wage is below the extreme poverty line.
What do people in Africa use diamonds for?
In particular, diamonds in West Africa have been used for the last 30 or so years to fund rebel groups and their desire to take control of their nations by violence and intimidation. In such conflicted regions of the world, diamonds lose their connotation of beauty and elegance and are in stead stained with blood.

Tetrahedral Plots of the Phase Relations for Basalts1
and Richard N. Abbott, Jr.3
The phase relations of quaternary systems are generally represented by projections onto ternary
compositional planes. Such projections often obscure relationships that would only be evident in a
three-dimensional tetrahedral plot. The tetrahedral plot requires that compositions of the minerals
and melts be transformed into Cartesian coordinates. It is shown here how this transformation is
carried out. The application is demonstrated by tetrahedral plots of experimental melt compositions of
partially molten lherzolite. Furthermore, the plot can be used to evaluate whether or not a particular
basaltic composition represents a primary melt. The methods are applicable to any four-component
KEY WORDS: phase diagrams, basalts, primary magmas.
The compositions of primary basaltic magmas are controlled by the phase relations of lherzolite and the way melt accumulation takes place in the mantel.
Characterization of the phase relations of lherzolite is therefore fundamental for
understanding the genesis of basalts. Phase relations for partial melting of lherzolite involve olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel or garnet. Accessory

Two unknown legions
From Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search
Malcador the Sigillite sitting on a throne with skulls marked with the numbers of the two lost Primarchs
Precious little is known about two of the twenty Space Marine Legions, numbered II and XI, and their respective Primarchs, as their records are simply noted as having been "expunged" or "destroyed" in Imperial listings of the 20 Legions.
However, nothing is known for sure about the names of the legions, their Primarchs, homeworlds and their ultimate fate. There are conflicting reports as to whether the two unknown Legions met their fate prior to or after the Horus Heresy and which side they joined in the Heresy if they participated in it.[5][9]
Currently, all that is stated about this issue is:
 - The Emperor created 20 Primarchs, who were snatched from Terra by a Chaos vortex and scattered around the galaxy.[1]
 - The 20 incubation capsules drifted through the warp for decades or even centuries, until finally coming to rest on human-inhabited worlds throughout the galaxy,[4] "where they were variously adopted by human parents."[7]
 - The only exception to this is the Primarch Konrad Curze, who survived utterly alone (and whose background, in any case, was only described in later material).
 - In the listings of the 20 Legions in Imperial records, Legions II and XI are stated as having "all records expunged from the library". Earlier background (Codex Imperialis and second edition's Ultramarines codex) less ambivalently states that the records for these two Legions were deleted following the Heresy. Considering that the Traitor Legions are simply listed as excommunicate traitoris but still included in these same lists would mean that the records were deleted deliberately and for a reason only known by those who perpetrated the action.
 - The Emperor met each Primarch in turn, and each Primarch had risen to a position of authority within the cultures they had found themselves in.[1]
 - 20 Legions took part in the Great Crusade, each led by their own Primarch.[8]
 - Alpharius was known to be the last Primarch to be found, a fact which even earned him the nickname "The Last". This suggests that all the other Primarchs had been found already.
 - 20 statues of the Primarchs were erected in the Imperial Palace on Terra. By the time of the Horus Heresy, plinths II and XI "...had been vacant for a long time. No-one ever spoke of those two absent brothers [and] their separate tragedies."[9]
 - This suggests that the two unknown Primarchs had been found previously and that something tragic had happened. The two Primarchs were "absent" but not referred as "dead".
 - Prior to sending Sigismund and his Imperial Fists to Mars during the Heresy, Dorn muses to Malcador on the loyalist support of two legions, possibly the two unknown legions, during the Heresy. Malcador quells the Primarch's thoughts, stating that "They are lost to us forever."[15]
 - Horus convinced "no less than 9" Space Marine Legions to side with him at the onset of the Heresy,[2] a number also referred to as "fully half" of the legions.[6] When he assaulted Terra, this number was given as 9.[10]
 - This also implies, but does not categorically state, that the 9 known traitor legions are all of the legions that followed him into rebellion and that 18 legions were the total number of legions active at the time. A passage detailing Horus' plans for the various legions at the outset of the Heresy mentions by name all 18 known legions[11].
 - "Of the original 20 Primarchs only 9 survived the Horus Heresy. The remainder were either killed in the fighting (like Horus) or fled with their [Legions] into the Eye of Terror. The survivors helped [to rebuild] the Imperium."[7]
 - It is currently accepted that 3 Primarchs died during the Heresy (Ferrus Manus, Sanguinius, and Horus) and 6 are known to have fled into the Eye of Terror (Fulgrim, Perturabo, Angron, Mortarion, Magnus, and Lorgar). The fates of the other 11 are open to multiple interpretations. However it is commonly believed that Roboute Guilliman is in stasis as his throat was cut and Lion El Johnson's body has been hidden away in the belief that he shall return one day.
 - Two traitors, Konrad Curze and Alpharius, did not flee into the Eye of Terror and were killed later on. 7 loyal Primarchs seem to have survived. It is possible that Curze and Alpharius were counted as part of the 9 survivors. However, in the novel Betrayer it mentions the "18 Legions", a clear statement that the unknown legions disappeared before the Heresy, and played no part in them.
Other Information
Ultramarines Codex
Second edition's Ultramarines codex states that it seems likely that Legions II and XI fought for Horus at least during the beginning of the Heresy. It also refers to the records as being destroyed following the Heresy.[8] However this conflicts with more recent information in the novel The First Heretic where Magnus and Lorgar discuss the two unknown primarchs and the death of them and their Legions 43 years before the Drop Site Massacre. [18]
Horus's vision
As Horus lay in coma inside the Davinite temple after being wounded by Eugen Temba, Erebus gave him visions that showed him events from various points in time. In one of these experiences, Horus found himself in the geno-vault where he was created, and looked down upon the genetor-tanks containing the infant Primarchs. At one point he stops before tank XI and reflects upon the "untapped glories that lay within, knowing they would never come to pass". This refers to one of the unknown Primarchs. Later on, Horus' anger takes control and he smashes his fist upon tank XI, damaging it. Shortly after, a vortex swoops up all the genetor-tanks and scatters them across the galaxy.[14]
The truth of this vision is unclear; it should be noted that the whole experience was orchestrated by the Chaos powers, in other words Horus saw what the chaos gods wanted him to see.[14]
Seth's Proposal
When Dante asks the Blood Angels' successor chapters for men to bring the Blood Angels back to full strength, having suffered heavy casualties during Arkio's heresy, Gabriel Seth, chapter master of the Flesh Tearers, makes a counter to this demand: disband the Blood Angels and spread them amongst the successors. When Orloc (chapter master of the Blood Drinkers) protests that there is no way a First Founding Chapter can end like this, Seth retorts that, actually, it has happened before. [16]
This statement is no definite indicator, as the two Unknown Legions were legions and not chapters. Additionally James Swallow is known for taking certain liberties with the way he depicts the Blood Angels. Technically there are no first founding chapters, as chapters did not come into existence before the second founding (which Swallow might be referring to as "first").
A Crimson Fist
In the short story A Crimson Fist, Sigisumund looks at the shrouded statues of the Traitor Primarchs, and says that they are traitors and should be torn down. This could be a hint saying that the two missing statues were torn down because the unknown Primarch(s) were traitors as well. But using information from Betrayer, this would mean they were traitorous before the Heresy.
The First Heretic
The First Heretic (Novel) sheds more light on the subject of the two unknown Primarchs:
 - The Lost Primarchs were erased from Imperial records at least 43 years prior to the events of Isstvan V, as only eighteen Legions are referenced during the events at Monarchia. This could be a precursor to the Horus Heresy, the belligerents serving the chaos gods. However, this seems unlikely as the primarchs would be aware of chaos, yet are easily seduced by it.[18]
 - It is implied that the Emperor personally cast aside the two lost Primarchs: "I fear the Emperor will break the Word Bearers - and break me. We would be cast alongside the brothers we no longer speak of."[18b]
 - Throughout the remainder of the Great Crusade, the remaining Primarchs swore an oath not to even talk about the lost Primarchs.[18b]
 - The lost Primarchs/Legions are referred to as 'the forgotten and the purged'. This could simply be a way of describing traitors, or they are references to the individual legions (i.e.-one legion "the forgotten" and the other "the purged")[18b]
 - Magnus the Red confirms that the Emperor personally purged the two lost Primarchs/Legions from history.[18b]
 - During the vision of the Gal Vorbak, the eleventh Primarch is referenced as still being innocent and pure prior to the scattering
