Theater teachers are used to thinking outside the box.
They come up with all sorts of creative ways to finance a show, whisk together costumes, hustle materials for a set.
So it should come as no surprise that while schools have shuttered because of the coronavirus, it hasn't stopped the shows.
Some theater educators in town have taken to rehearsing students virtually for the always-anticipated big spring production.
And they are mounting the plays the same way.
Empire High School's Richard Gremel had been rehearsing his students for the spring play, "Trap," since January.
"We went on spring break March 9 and never came back," he says. "We were planning to do a show April 24. The goal was to come back from break and put the final pieces together."
When the schools closed, Gremel made the tough decision to cancel all productions. Then he got an email from Stage Partners, a company that licenses plays for schools.
"They put out this free-to-perform monologue play called 'Stranded,'" he says. "They said do with it what you like."
"Stranded," specifically designed for a virtual production, takes place on a cruise ship that has been quarantined. It is a series of monologues from the passengers.
Some students needed the performing credits, and others, particularly the seniors, were excited about the last production. Gremel emailed his classes and offered them the option of performing the play virtually. All but two of his 25 students jumped at the chance.
The two that didn't had conflicts with jobs and other classes.
"All the kids were on board," he says. "They were grateful to have an opportunity to perform."
He rehearsed them on Zoom.
"I listened to one monologue at a time, and I gave notes and feedback," says Gremel.
When the show was ready, each student filmed his or her monologue and sent it to Gremel, who then spliced them together and put the show on YouTube.
Empire High senior Jake Taylor found that working virtually allowed him more time to develop his character.
"But it's also kind of sad because I really like hanging out with everybody," he says.
Madyson Edwards, also a senior at the school, was grateful for the chance to rehearse and perform. But she found the virtual element less than satisfying.
"I think one of the best things about acting is you get to hear the audience's reaction and that helps you gauge if what you are doing is right or wrong," she says. "Online, not having that live audience to hear the reaction was a bit tough. I'm not sure how the audience perceives it."
Rincon/University High School's advanced theater class had planned a production of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" as its year-end play.
Lines had been memorized, sets and costumes almost complete, when schools were closed.
"As soon as I realized we weren't going back right away, I messaged them over spring break and said 'don't let this go', we will push through," says theater teacher Maryann Green
Zoom rehearsals began.
The plan is to eventually record it. But what has come out of the rehearsals has been something equally important.
"A lot of my seniors say they are done with school and yet they show up Tuesdays and Thursdays for rehearsals," says Green. "Part of it is because it's that sense of team, of ensemble. It's so important to remind people that we are still a part of a community. And I think that's especially important for teenagers."
Live Theatre Workshop has continued its popular education classes online, including one called "Let's Make a Musical," which had students creating a musical. The productions will be performed virtually.
LTW teacher Amanda Gremel has found virtual teaching leaves time for more in-depth work.
"We are able to break down acting 101 and really get them connected to characters," she says. "We strip it down and go back to basics."
Chris Pankratz wrote a farce, "You Can't Make Wine From Raisins," for his theater students at Flowing Wells High School to perform. When schools closed, he moved rehearsals online.
"The physical comedy goes away, but the kids seem to value it," says Pankratz, who says the goal is to film a stage reading of the play.
Canceling the staged production has been sad, he says, "especially for seniors who are mourning their last shows, a milestone for high school theater kids."
At the same time, "it's inspiring to see that the kids are putting a lot into it," he said.
Kevin Johnson, who teaches theater to primary students at Basis Tucson North, got wind of "The Show Must Go Online," a musical that had just come out and was written specifically for online. He is planning a virtual production with his fourth graders, working in tandem with the school's music teacher.
The spring play is a big thing for the fourth graders.
"It's something they look forward to all year long," says Johnson. "I thought it wasn't a good way for the kids to leave the school."
Denver Casado, co-founder of Beat by Beat, a New York City-based company that publishes new musicals for kids to perform, is one of a trio of writers who whipped the play together in 19 days.
"Typically it takes six months to a year to write a show," he says. "We had heard people were desperate to do something with theater kids. The feedback I got is that this is something that's hugely needed now. That motivated us."
To date, 375 virtual productions of "The Show Must Go Online" are underway, including the one at Basis, he says.
"That's in 11 different countries. And we've already been approached about translating it," Casado says
Johnson isn't surprised that theater teachers have rallied to find a way to continue to teach and make art.
"When something shuts down, the arts find a way to completely reinvent, to skate around obstacles," says Johnson. "It's not going to stop. People are determined to create music and words and presentations. … When we have to start from scratch, we find new ways to create. We have to. There's no choice."

Vientiane Stories and Tips
Baci Ceremony in Laos
Baci Ceremony, Vientiane
We were invited to take part in our own Baci Ceremony while we were in Vientiane. Prior to our own ceremony I knew nothing about what happened or why they had the ceremonies.
In Laos a Baci ceremony is carried out for both sad and happy events so it might be for a marriage, a birth of a child, a funeral/death, a welcome home, before or after major exams and before a long journey could all be reasons for a Baci ceremony.
There is no specific day or time for a Baci ceremony but just before noon or sunset appears to be a preferred time. The idea of the ceremony is a calling of the soul or in Laos "su kwan" also spelt 'sou khuan'.
The idea of kwan is the soul of a person but more than that; vital life force of any being. In Laos it was believed in ancient times that humans consisted of thirty two parts and these were watched over by kwan. The human works best when all his kwan are in the body and the idea of the Baci ceremony is to call all the kwan back to the body from wherever they have wandered off to.
The Pha kwan or Pha Khuan
When we arrived in the middle of the floor was a wonderful creation called the pha kwan. This is made from banana leaves, marigolds and white threads. It is wider at the bottom like a pyramid and must take hours to create. This creation is usually made by older woman in the village or community.
This flower creation is set on a white cloth in the middle of the room. The person who is to carry out the ceremony sits cross legged in front of the pha kwan and he is called a maw pawn or mohkwan or mor phon. The maw pawn is usually an elderly man, often an ex monk and he chants the sort of poetry during the ceremony. The maw pawn also knows the auspicious days when it is best to hold a Baci ceremony and that is worked out by using the lunar phases.
Around the pha kwan were a couple of sweets and dried and fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs which represent the foetus, a stalk of bananas which represented the community and each fruit being member s of that community, a whole boiled chicken with head feet and claws and finally as a bottle of Laolao whisky for purification.
Our Ceremony
We had to sit on the carpet around the pha kwan and the white strings that were attached to the pha kwan were taken and handed to each of us to hold. The maw pawn also held one white string too. And began his Buddhist or animist chanting which is him calling the wandering spirits back to the body.
The ceremony began by the maw pawn lighting a candle on the top of the Pha Kwan and then those taking part in the ceremony my husband and I laid our hands palm down at the edge of the pha kwan. The maw pawn then brushed our hands with the white strings saying "hai kuard nee, dee kuard kao" meaning "bad is swept out, good is swept in".
The next stage was he took the white strings and gave us each one to hold and he also held one end and he chanted some more and this was asking our spirits to receive the blessings.We then held the string between our palms while he continued to chant.
We were then told to say "ma der khuan euy" whixh according to our guide means "please come spirits". He then threw some bits of rice in the air over us. These rice grains we were told represented the spirits and the good luck that we had asked for in the ceremony.
After the chanting the maw pawn then tied the strings around our wrists. If this had been a big ceremony such as a pre wedding ceremony then everybody would have then come forward to tie a string around the wrists of the couple taking part. I think about three or four strings were tied around each of our wrists. As these strings were tied around our wrists he chanted some more words which were a sort of concluding blessing.
The final part of the ceremony was that the maw pawn poured a little shot of Laolao into small glasses and we each had one. This concluded the ceremony and we were instructed to keep the white strings on our wrists for at least three days and longer if we wanted our lost spirits to have the best chance of returning to us.
We got up to leave and we told that we were to take the beautiful pha kwan home with us. We sadly only had one more night in Vientiane so we took it back and had it in our hotel room for one night and then left it for the cleaner the next day so hopefully it might return her spirits too.
I kept my strings on for the rest of our holiday so hopefully all my spirits have returned to me. My husband took his off when we left Laos which was at least three days so I think he has been balanced too.
I found the ceremony really interesting. I am not sure i fully understand the whole thing. I am certain I understood not a word of the chanting but it was done with ceremony and was very serious too. The maw pawn didn't speak to us at all except when doing his chanting and after the ceremony he disappeared very quickly. Out guide was greta and explained a lot of what went on to us so that we understood the ceremony and what happened a bit better than just sitting through it.
My husband can't bend his knees and sit on the floor so he really struggled as you are meant to kneel and sit on your heels or sit cross legged and he can do neither so sort of had his legs bent to the side. This is something to consider if you have problems like this. You have to sit for about twenty minutes so my legs were just beginning to get pins and needles when we finished.
I thought it was lovely that we got to keep the pha Kwan and such a shame we only got to enoy it for one night. I hope the hotel cleaning staff got some pleasure out of it as so much work had gone into making it.
I am sure we paid for this in our tour but I am not sure what it cost. Selective Asia put together our itinerary for us and worked out all the flights etc while we just told them what we wanted to do.

A dataspace is a logical grouping of data with definitions of how that data should be loaded and processed, usually from a single source.
Each dataspace encapsulates definitions for its core data primitives, such as measurements (numerical data), categories (string-based categorical data), and tags (string-based tags). It also includes configuration for data connector and data processor components to load and process data into those primitives.
While measurements and categories are scoped to the dataspace namespace, tags are aggregated with tags from other dataspaces to the pod scope.
Data connectors and processors are community-maintained components for streaming and processing time-series data. More information can be found in the data-components-contrib repository.

Modulation of zinc levels and tissue properties: Essentia Biosystems discloses the modulation of zinc levels to improve tissue properties. Methods of altering the properties of tissues were explored by modifying the amount of zinc, which may be in the form of zinc ions, through the use of topical compositions containing one or more zinc-containing components such as salts and/or other zinc compounds or in complexes, particularly zinc acetate. By altering the zinc levels, researchers found they were able to increase or decrease fatty tissue, increase or decrease epidermal thickness, increase elastin content, and prevent or treat gum regression or atrophy.
Also disclosed is the provision of a contact lens coated with a zinc-containing material, to improve vision by increasing elastin content of the lens of the eye through release of zinc ions. Substituted saccharides in cosmetic cleansers: Beiersdorf discloses surfactant-containing cosmetic cleansers with substituted saccharides, especially inulin carbamate. The invention concerns cosmetic or dermatological cleansing compositions that contain one or more saccharide-M-alkyl urethanes and one or more surfactants; cosmetic active substances and additives are included. Saccharides are polyfructosan (Fructan) or inulin, especially inulin carbamate. The compositions can be applied as foams or as impregnation fluids on solid supports for skin and hair. The composition of a cleansing gel is shown in Formula 1.

Fresh Strawberries (Fragaria vesca)
Fresh Strawberries (Fragaria vesca) ingredient image
Fresh Strawberries (Fragaria vesca)
We use the European species of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca, wood strawberry), which produces small, conical and fragrant red berries. Botanists do not class strawberries as berries, as their seeds are embedded on the surface, rather than protected within.
Inspired by the creamiest milkshakes, the presence of strawberries in American Cream hair conditioner will be calming on the scalp, help strengthen hair and add shine.
Strawberries are considered one of the world's healthiest foods. They are a natural source of minerals, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and powerful antioxidants. They contain a higher concentration of vitamin C, per weight, than oranges.
We use freshly crushed strawberries to calm the skin in our Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar.
They are commercially cultivated in Europe, throughout the United States and Canada, in Japan, New Zealand, Australia and parts of southern and eastern Africa.

Turning Packaging From Trash to Toys Turning Packaging From Trash to Toys
Turning Packaging From Trash to Toys
by Adele Peters
December 17, 2012
How can food packaging have a useful life after you've eaten whatever's inside? One solution, from a Greek design company, is to create a box that can easily be converted into a toy that kids want to keep.
Matadog Design needed to create a new brand for a snack company that sells small boxes of raisins. Initially, their assignment was to add a toy inside the package. They realized that if the box itself could become the toy, then they'd be able to eliminate waste.
As the designers studied paper toys, they discovered that most are somewhat complicated to construct—they usually require scissors and glue or tape, and a lot of time. After building countless models, they created a series of designs that are truly kid-friendly: they don't require any tools, and they're simple enough that kids can put them together by themselves.
The boxes come in 10 different designs, so kids will want to keep buying the snacks—and so they have a reason to keep more packaging out of the trash.

Nursing Times Learning unit explores falls prevention
Nursing Times Learning has launched a new online Falls Prevention and Management unit to support nurses in reducing patients' risk of falling.
The Nursing Times Learning unit aims to help nurses to understand the impact of falls on the individual and the factors that put patients at risk of falling.
The unit explores the role of medication and other causes of falls and explains the key recommendations in NICE guidance on falls.
Injuries caused by falls result in huge costs to the NHS and social services.
For those who fall the consequences can be devastating – even if they recover from their physical injuries many experience severe and enduring psychological trauma.
In order to reduce these human and financial costs, falls reduction is one of the eight high impact actions for nursing and midwifery.
Falls Prevention and Management is available FREE to all Nursing Times subscribers, and at £10+VAT to non-subscribers.
Online training units, written and reviewed by experts. Earn two hours' CPD and a personalised certificate for your portfolio.

International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism
The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism —or Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme et l'Antisémitisme (LICRA) in French— has existed for 75 years battling the evils of intolerance, xenophobia and exclusion. In 1927, French journalist Bernard Lecache created "The League Against the Pogroms." Originally, a Committee of Honor was formed by a number of notable scholars of the day including, Edward Herriot, Léon Blum, Léon Jouhaux, Albert Einstein, Séverine, Maxim Gorky, Edouard Benes, Thomas G. Mazaryck, Romain Rolland, André Malraux, and Anne de Noailles. Joseph Kessel was one of the first to sign a membership.
It soon changed its name to the International League Against Anti-Semitism (LICA) that evolved to LICRA in 1979.

In order to explore the suitability of continuous3 H- TdR infusion into pregnant rats for radiotoxicity studies in the offspring, the incorporation of tritium into the developing animals has been studied by biochemical means. In the offspring, the total incorporated activity (μCi/g wet weight) and the specific activity of DNA (μCi/mg DNA) show a direct relationship to the tritium activity applied to mothers. The distribution of activity between DNA and acid soluble fraction is organ specific, but independent of the activity applied. The slopes of the regression lines for DNA specific activity are organ specific. These facts have to be taken into consideration when dose calculations are attempted. On the other hand, the direct relationship between activity applied to mothers and the incorporation into the offspring establishes the system of continuous3 H- TdR infusion into pregnant rats as a suitable model to study3 H- TdR toxicity in mammalian cells under conditions in which all cell nuclei are exposed to DNA-bound tritium.

bringing Italians over and back
Ancona was the first North Atlantic passenger steamer of the Italia Line, and its most-employed ship on that route before World War I. Built by Workman, Clark & Co. in Belfast, it was 482 feet long, 8,188 tons in size, and its triple expansion engines provided it with a speed of 16 knots. Ancona began service in 1908, and, between then and the outbreak of the First World War, carried a roundtrip total of 98 thousand passengers between Italy and New York, over 90% of them in steerage. Like most of its North Atlantic contemporaries, Ancona stopped at more than one port in Europe; it was also one of a sizable minority of vessels servicing more than port on the North American side of the ocean (New York and Philadelphia; for Ancona, the latter was mainly a departure port), (Voyage Database).
Italia Società di Navigazione a Vapore was one of several Italian passenger shipping lines plying the North Atlantic, that were started around the turn of the 20th century, and eventually merged into the oldest and biggest such Italian line, the NGI (Navigazione Generale Italia). Italy was then among the largest and fastest-growing exporters of overseas emigrants, most of them bound for North America. In the 1890s, about two-thirds of Italian immigrants to the United States crossed the Atlantic on non-Italian carriers; by 1908, the traffic was split about 50-50 between domestic Italian oceanic steamship companies and their foreign competitors. (Bonsor, Keeling, p. 23, and sources used on pp. 28-29, Voyage Database).
On its maiden voyage, Ancona set off from Genoa on March 26, 1908 with 59 passengers in steerage and 9 in cabin. Most of it passengers boarded in Naples, which Ancona departed on March 28 with 341 in steerage and 23 in cabin. A total of 432 passengers were thus landed at New York upon arrival on April 10, but this traffic was dwarfed by the numbers on the April 23 return journey to Europe. From New York (910), and Philadelphia (1,343), the ship was nearly 90% filled to capacity with a total of 2,253 passengers, overwhelmingly Italians in steerage. (Data from Voyage database, U.S. passenger list).
Two-way migration between Italy and the United States
The back-and-forth pattern of late nineteenth century emigration from Italy helped popularize the term golondrina (swallow), in its classic conception, the "peasant who left Italy in November after harvest for flax and wheat fields of northern Cordoba and Santa Fé [Argentina]…and in May returned to Piedmont [Italy] for the spring planting" [Thistlethwaite, p. 25]. Most Italian migrants to the United States, however, crossed the ocean only once (to reach America) or twice (to later return to Italy for good). In the _PHONE_ period, repeated back and forth movement was proportionately higher from northern Europe (see map here, and Keeling, Repeat, p. 172). There was a significant exception to this return movement comparison, however: Because so many Italians did intend to return to Italy with savings, they were particularly reactive to labor market conditions. Employment conditions strongly influenced the migration patterns of all ethnic groups, but Italians in America, over-represented in cyclically vulnerable industries such as construction, tended to react even more sharply than most others to joblessness or the likelihood of it, by returning to their family homes in Italy where the costs of being without work were far lower (Keeling, pp. 202-05). During the recession years 1904, 1908 and 1911, eastward return movement to Mediterranean ports (half of more of which was to Italy) was 55% of westward flows, compared to 32% for the 1900-13 period as a whole. For the rest of Europe, the eastward rate was 42% during those recessions versus 29% for the overall period (Voyage database). The 1908 recession was the most severe of these cyclical slumps, and Ancona was among the ships whose passenger traffic was most powerfully impacted by the eastbound surge of 1908, as shown in the graph here:
Source for graph: Voyage database
World War I and Ancona
When World War I broke out in early August of 1914, Italy stayed neutral, but many Italians in America felt needed back home and they soon returned in large numbers, including on Ancona (see graph above). Another eastward surge followed Italy's entry into the war in late May of 1915. Ancona's next three voyages averaged over 1,300 eastbound steeragers each, and then the ship's final U.S. departure, on October 16, 1915, carried twelve hundred Italian reservists (New York Times, October 17, 1915: "1,200 Italians Sail for War"). Shortly after departing Italy for New York again, Ancona was sunk on November 7, off the coast of Tunisia, by submarine U-38, operating under the Austrian flag. This exacerbated diplomatic tensions (New York Times, December 15, 1915: "Austria's Reply") between the United States and the Central Powers (e.g., Germany and Austria) already strained due to the sinking, without warning, of the Lusitania the previous May. Negotiations, and the German "Sussex Pledge" of May, 1916 reduced further U-boat activity, and helped keep America out of the war, until unrestricted German U-boat attacks resumed in early 1917.

The iOS 5 boasts over 200 features; however, Apple's video calling feature over 3G FaceTime is one of the features that did not make it to latest mobile operating system. However, there is a way on how to install FaceTime even if you are running in iOS 5.
FaceTime is a video calling application developed by Apple. FaceTime is for mobile devices running in iOS. FaceTime is supported on any iOS device with a forward-facing camera. Thus, it only works in devices beyond iPhone 4.
However, it is now possible to install the FaceTime feature in iPhone 4 by hacking one of the system files. Below is step-by-step procedure to enable the aforementioned feature:
Ensure that you back-up your devices first and store the files, photos and videos so you can restore the device if any error or issues arise.
Step 1: Download iFile for iPhone from Cydia or iExplorer for Mac and Windows.
Step 2: Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/.
Step 3: Open the file named N90AP.plist.
Step 4: Below the line, under capabilities, add in 3Gvenice.
Step 5: Save the changes you made and try the video calling feature.
FaceTime works by connecting an iPhone 4 or newer iPhone, a fourth generation iPod touch, a second generation iPad, or a computer with Mac OS X to another similar device; the previous generations of iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad are not currently supported. FaceTime is not compatible with non-Apple devices or any other video calling services. The early 2011 revision of the MacBook Pro introduced high-definition FaceTime which may only be used with devices that have a HD FaceTime camera.
On the iPhone, FaceTime works in the Phone application instead of being a separate application. It can be activated when in the Phone application by placing a call, and pressing the FaceTime button. The FaceTime button replaced the Hold button (which is now available by pressing and holding the Mute button). The icon resembles a camcorder. It is also possible to initiate a FaceTime call directly from a contact file.
While the current FaceTime implementation for the iPhone does not officially support FaceTime calls over 3G (UMTS/HSPA), there are 3rd party applications that enable this capability for jailbroken devices. There are apps available in Cydia Store that allows you to use video calling feature of FaceTime in 3G. Jailbreak apps such as My3G let your jailbroken iOS device to have FaceTime.
FaceTime over 3G can only be achieved by using third party jailbreaking commercial software such as the FaceBreak, 3G Unrestrictor or My3G which fools the phone into believing that it is connected via Wi-Fi. These programs are only available on jailbroken iPhones via the Cydia Store. At the moment there are no free of charge solutions to unrestricted FaceTime. FaceTime uses about three megabytes of data per minute of conversation, so users with a limited data plan who use FaceTime over 3G (only on jailbroken devices as of right now) must be careful to not overextend their data limit. However, cellular talk time/minutes aren't used after switching from a voice call to a FaceTime call.
FaceTime on first generation iPad is also possible by porting the FaceTime application for the iPod touch 4th gen to iPad.

DNA testing is a very accurate process that can be used to determine a person's exact genetic makeup. However, many factors can affect the results of this type of test. For example, a person's race may not be a factor in this type of test. Also, there are some diseases and disorders that are not considered in DNA testing. This includes things like hemochromatosis and beta-thalassemia. All these things will have small differences that can confuse the test.
A person's race can have an impact on the results of a DNA test. If a person has some relatives who are White and some who are Black, the results of the DNA test may be a little different. If a person has only one parent who is White and one parent who are Black, the results may be very different. Sometimes a person can have a combination of parent races. All of these things can cause a person to have very different DNA information than another person.

The same can be said for a person's sex. Men can have any number of parent races and can also have a combination of parent genders. A person can have an X-chromosome and a Y-chromosome. These two types of DNA are usually very different. So, will a person who is not a boy, or a girl but has both of these types of DNA. When a person has these types of DNA, it can cause a person's DNA to be misprinted in a DNA worksheet answer.
Sometimes a doctor will order a DNA test on a person. They will do this so they can determine if a person has certain diseases or conditions. Many of these tests can be misleading because of the DNA type that a person carries in their blood. A person's blood type can mean that a person is suffering from a disease that has recently come back on the market or is still new to the medical world.

Multiple Alleles Blood Type worksheet answers can also be misleading when a doctor takes a sample of a person's blood to test for certain conditions or diseases. Often the tests come back with negative results. This is because the DNA test is unable to find the specific gene that is causing the problem. The doctors will not know what to do next until they have tested other types of DNA on the person.
In many cases a person who has Multiple Alleles Blood Type will not even know that they do have this problem. They may think that they have been hit by a car and there are no broken bones. Even though the DNA test results were negative and the person did not have the disease the doctor may have told the person that they should go to a doctor right away because the test results came back at a negative. The person may think that they have been hit by a car and call their doctor right away without getting all the information they need.

It is important for a person to get all the information they need about their Multiple Alleles Blood Type. They should learn about the DNA that they carry and how this has effect their chances of contracting a disease or living a normal life. They should know what to do if they think that they have Multiple Alleles Blood Type and what to do if their doctor has told them that they have this condition. Knowledge is power and a person needs to make sure that they are aware of everything that they can learn about their blood type. This is the only way to make sure that they are able to live a full and successful life.

Adding an Asset Prefix
Gatsby produces static content that can be hosted anywhere at scale in a cost-effective manner. This static content is comprised of HTML files, JavaScript, CSS, images, and more that power your great Gatsby application.
In some circumstances you may want to deploy assets (non-HTML resources such as JavaScript, CSS, etc.) to a separate domain. Typically this is when you're required to use a dedicated CDN for assets or need to follow company-specific hosting policies.
This assetPrefix functionality is available starting in gatsby@2.4.0, so that you can seamlessly use Gatsby with assets hosted from a separate domain. To use this functionality, ensure that your version of gatsby specified in package.json is at least 2.4.0.
Adding to gatsby-config.js
One more step - when you build out this application, you need to add a flag so that Gatsby picks up this option.
The --prefix-paths flag
When building with an assetPrefix, you require a --prefix-paths flag. If this flag is not specified, the build will ignore this option, and build out content as if it was hosted on the same domain. To ensure you build out successfully, use the following command:
That's it! You have an application that is ready to have its assets deployed from a CDN and its core files (e.g. HTML files) can be hosted on a separate domain.
Building / Deploying
Once your application is built out, all assets will be automatically prefixed by this asset prefix. For example, if you have a JavaScript file app-common-1234.js, the script tag will look something like:
However - if you were to deploy your application as-is, those assets would not be available! You can do this in a few ways, but the general approach will be to deploy the contents of the public folder to both your core domain, and the CDN/asset prefix location.
Using onPostBuild
You expose an onPostBuild API hook. This can be used to deploy your content to the CDN, like so:
Using package.json scripts
Additionally, you can use an npm script, which will let you use some command line interfaces/executables to perform some action, in this case, deploying your assets directory!
In this example, the aws-cli and s3 is used to sync the public folder (containing all the assets) to the s3 bucket.
Now whenever the build script is invoked, e.g. npm run build, the postbuild script will be invoked after the build completes, therefore making your assets available on a separate domain after you have finished building out your application with prefixed assets.
Additional Considerations
Usage with pathPrefix
The pathPrefix feature can be thought of as semi-related to this feature. That feature allows all your website content to be prefixed with some constant prefix, for example you may want your blog to be hosted from /blog rather than the project root.
This feature works seamlessly with pathPrefix. Build out your application with the --prefix-paths flag and you'll be well on your way to hosting an application with its assets hosted on a CDN, and its core functionality available behind a path prefix.
Usage with gatsby-plugin-offline
When using a custom asset prefix with gatsby-plugin-offline, your assets can still be cached offline. However, to ensure the plugin works correctly, there are a few things you need to do.
 1. Your asset server needs to have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header set either to * or your site's origin.
 2. Certain essential resources need to be available on your content server (i.e. the one used to serve pages). This includes sw.js, as well as resources to precache: the webpack bundle, the app bundle, the manifest (and any icons referenced), and the resources for the offline plugin app shell.
 You can find most of these by looking for the self.__precacheManifest variable in your generated sw.js. Remember to also include sw.js itself, and any icons referenced in your manifest.webmanifest if you have one. To check your service worker is functioning as expected, look in Application → Service Workers in your browser dev tools, and check for any failed resources in the Console/Network tabs.

Hummel figurines were a result of a collaboration between ceramicist Franz Goebel and Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, whose holiday cards featuring small children caught Goebel's eye in a Munich religious art shop. They made their first appearance at the March 1935 Leipzig Trade Fair and were a success with American businessmen. During World War II, Goebel turned to making insulators and mess-hall dinnerware, but in the '50s the figurines once again found their way into cabinets around the world.
Other People Are Reading
Figurines are identified by an incised HUM number on the base. This refers to their listing in the factory's design journal. They also have individual titles. HUM 1, modelled by Arthur Moller in 1935, is called "Puppy Love" and shows two young street musicians either side of an attentive little dog.
Notable early figurines include "Little Fiddler" HUM 2, "Merry Wanderer" HUM 7, and "Book Worm" HUM 3, which is a large bookend in the shape of girl with a picture book on her lap. Many of these figurines were restyled in the '60s. The original versions usually have rectangular bases, while the bases of the restyled models are somewhat rounded.
Some Hummel figurines are exceedingly rare. An example of a very scarce table lamp, "Volunteers" HUM 102, was snapped up by one collector in a Washington thrift store in the 1970s. Only 50 or so copies were made of "Little Velma," HUM 219, most of which are believed to have been shipped to Canada. If you come across a figurine of a little girl with pigtails gazing at a frog, be sure to look at it very closely--it might be worth a king's ransom.
Marks - First Period
Because many of the most popular figurines stayed in production for decades, an understanding of the company's marks is essential for purposes of dating. For pieces made between 1935 and 1949, look for a "WG" logo and the "M. I. Hummel" signature. The word "Germany" appears before the war, then from 1946 to 1948 the phrase "Made in the U.S. Zone Germany."
Marks - Second Period
In 1950, Goebel introduced its new "bee in a V" trademark. (The bee is a visual pun upon Hummel, which means "bumblebee" in German.) Until 1957, the bee was naturalistic in appearance and flying in profile, then it was replaced with a stylised bee facing head on. In 1972, the V was poised over a printed "Goebel," and then in 1979 was dropped altogether.

We are all familiar with vending machines dispensing sugary drinks and confections at various locations around our fine city, but did you know that some of the earliest vending machines were built into the bases of gas lamps?
At the Great Exhibition of 1897, a demonstration as made of a gas lamp that also included an automatic machine which could dispense a gallon of hot water, or a halfpennies worth of Beef tea essence, Cocoa, Milk, Sugar, Tea or Coffee.
These "Pluto Lamps" were developed by a company founded in 1896 by Mr. H M Robinson variously known as either the "Hot Water Supply Syndicate" or the "Refreshment Lamp Syndicate" and they installed a number of these vending machines around the city before seemingly vanishing with barely a memory of their existence.
A few newspaper records exist, such as a report in the Pall Mall Gazette of the 8th July 1898 commenting on the opening of the first Pluto Lamp, within Leicester Square.
That lamp is described as being filled with Welshbach mantles on a Denayrouze burner and able to draw of quarts of water in quick succession. From other slots could be obtained hot coffee, coca and fluid beef via enamel vessels secured to the gas lamp by a chain.
What was also described as "another great boon" was the availability of cigarettes at four to the penny and even postcards were offered.
The Pluto Lamps must have been modestly successful as the following year, the Morning Post of 8th Feb 1899 noting that a Pluto Lamp was to be installed on a plot of land in Rosebery Avenue which had been recently sold to the Clerkenwell Vestry.
In addition to dispensing hot drinks, and obviously providing a valuable service in providing illumination to the dark streets – the Clerkenwell model also included one of Steljes ABC Telegraph Recorders which was connected to Scotland Yard for the police to use.
Remarkably though, there is a very early photograph of it on the day it was installed.
However, it was apparently not a success and was removed by October in the same year. It is possible that part of the reason was that locals found they could supplement half-penny coins with small round pieces of tin. Opened in February, by April over 1,000 pieces of tin had been found inside the vending machine, according a report into the arrest of one such thief in the Daily Mail of April 6th 1899.
The "urchin" was bound over for six months. Substituting coins for base metals has been a problem for street vending machines ever since.
There gas lamps evidently combined the convenience of a supply of hot drinks with the municipal task of providing lighting, and such an idea has a modern counterpart in the mobile phone industry. It is not uncommon now for solar power phone towers in some rural areas of Africa to donate their surplus electricity to the local villages to provide lighting – and power to recharge phone batteries.
A Victorian notion of municipal service offering additional benefits to society still in action today.

Preschool Programs for Children with Disabilities
Eligible children with disabilities, ages 3-21, are entitled to receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). In Texas, school district Preschool Programs for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) provide special education and related services for eligible children with disabilities ages three through five. PPCD refers to the services provided by the school district, not to the place where they are provided. Eligible children may receive PPCD services in variety settings such as pre-kindergarten, resource, and self-contained classrooms or in community settings such as Head Start and pre-school.
- Early Childhood Outcomes and Prekindergarten Guidelines Alignment document. (PDF 3.37 MB) The purpose of this document is to align each Prekindergarten guidelines to one or more of the three Early Childhood Outcomes, and provide educators and families with discussion prompts to explain how each outome relates to the guideline. The document also provides modifications and adaptations for children with special needs and extends to include a developmental continuum for teachers to use in developing appropriate goals for children who are developmentally functioning below four-year-old expectations, based on the guidelines. Additionally, foundational skills that will lead to expected three-year-old and four-year-old skills are discussed throughout the document. The foundational skills can be used to provide a direct link to Prekindergarten Guidelines and as starting point for the students who are the farthest away form age-appropriate skill levels when they enter Early Childhood Special Education Programs. The connection of the foundational skills to the Prekindergarten Guidelines will help educators design developmentally appropriate, individualized goals for their youngest learners including students with disbilities, students learning English as a second language as well as any child who may be at risk educationally.

- Dual Enrollment for families of 3 and 4 year olds in Texas have an option available to them called "Dual Enrollment". In Texas, children ages 3 and 4 may attend a private preschool and still receive services, such as speech therapy, through the public school. Texas made the decision to allow 3 and 4 year olds to be dually enrolled to give them more opportunities to interact with their typically developed peers.
- Non-categorical Early Childhood (NCEC): Under the Individual with Disabilities Act (IDEA), younger students (ages 3-9) may be eligible for special education and related services under a broader disability category called "Developmental Delay." States can choose what to call this general category, how they define it, and what age range it applies. In Texas, this category is called "Non-Categorical Early Childhood (NCEC)". It is for students aged 3-5 who have general delays in their physical, cognitive, communication, social, emotional, or adaptive development; and who, because of these delays, need special education and related services. In Texas, a child between the ages of 3-5 may be described as "NCEC" if he or she has been diagnosed as having one of the following:
- Mental Retardation,
- Emotional Disturbance,
- Specific Learning Disability, or
A determination of NCEC must comply with criteria set forth in federal and state law as described in the Non-categorical Early Childhood framework of the Legal Framework for the Child-Centered Process Education Service Center Region 18.

Preschool Least Restrictive Environments/Settings Education Service Center Region 20 documentIn accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004, schools are responsible for providing students who are receiving special education services the opportunity to participate in school through the least restrictive environment. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires that students with disabilities have access to the general curriculum, be involved in the general curriculum, and progress in the general curriculum. As districts begin the process of providing preschool children with access to the general curriculum, some may struggle with steps for initiation and implementation.
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of a variety of options for including preschool children. It includes a brief description of each environment, the steps to implementation and additional considerations that might need to be discussed. It is not intended to be a finite list; just a jumping off point to assist decision-makers as they work to develop quality inclusive programs for young children

OVER THE past three months you've read about the chamomile weeds, stinking mayweed and rayless chamomile, and now we tackle the last one, scentless chamomile.
I've always loved these weeds from a training sense – they form a bit of a graduation exam for the agronomists I train. The scenario is always to correctly identify the three weeds as seedlings as it's very hard to do visually. But if they remember what they've been taught and use their sense of smell it becomes an easy test, and you can give it a go in your own garden – you might surprise yourself with your skills!
Scentless chamomile ( Tripleurospermum inodorum) is an annual (or a short-lived perennial in some situations) weed found all over New Zealand. It's native to Europe, Asia and North Africa, but has moved most of the way around the world. In some parts (I'm looking at you North America) it is considered an invasive noxious species.
As with the other mayweeds and chamomiles, scentless chamomile is a member of the Asteraceae or sunflower family of weeds, but there's a little bit of confusion over exactly where it fits in. For a long time it was thought to be a direct relation of rayless chamomile but genetic analysis has split this family in two with half of them forming the new genus of
Like the other mayweeds and chamomiles, scentless chamomile is very hard to visually identify from a small plant but super easy if you can crush it and smell it. They can also be differentiated by their very different flowers.
Scentless chamomile can germinate in soil all year round, so long as there is moisture, sunlight reaching the soil, and soil temperatures are above 3°C. Generally, most of them germinate in the spring and autumn in New Zealand. Following germination they produce small, dense rosettes of leaves which are very finely divided and kind-of resemble fern fronds. They soon produce a long stem (15cm to 1m), with a large number of branches covered in their fine leaves.
At the end of each branch the plant produces flowers with white petals and a brilliant yellow centre, kind-of like a giant daisy. These flowers produce a veritable horde of seeds – we are talking tonnes of seeds, like 10,000 to 200,000 seeds per plant! – which means they can effectively colonise large areas in only a couple of years. That can be a real pain in pasture as animals will not eat it.
How to control it
Controlling scentless chamomile is a cinch but only if you deal to it quickly – let it seed and you will be fighting the fight for years to come.
The best way to deal with it in a home garden is just to pull it out as it's not too hard to weed out.
If you are dealing with a larger area you may want to spray it out. We are a little limited in what chemical will work here: 2,4D and MCPA are ok; Versatill works best but you need to be spraying small seedling plants to get any control.
If there is a flower, forget about spot spraying with chemical control as the plant will have finished its lifecycle and die off naturally after seeding, ready to reproduce next year.


A new semi-analytical model developed allows making fast modeling of the heterogeneous reservoirs, drained by a single horizontal well with multiple transverse hydraulic fractures. It is assumed that:
 - the flow in the reservoir obeys Darcy law;
 - the fluid contains only one phase;
 - the reservoir permeability tensor is a function of the variable, directed along the horizontal wellbore;
 - the well trajectory is not a straight line;
 - the wellbore has finite conductivity
The proposed model is fast in terms of the execution time and the time required to build a new case.
In the first section of this article a description of the solution method is given.
The second part is dedicated to validating the proposed model. The recognized finite-difference hydrodynamic simulator (FDS) was used as reference software, though fhe model and FDS are not competitors because of their differing applicability. For this reason the execution times of the FDS and the Advanced Horizontal Well (AHW) model are not compared with one another. More significant is that using this model one can generate a new case in fifteen minutes even when the properties of the reservoir are complex and when there are multiple fractures.
The primary focus of the AHW model is a single well productivity index analysis, and candidate selection for stimulation.

The MC-8 spindle has three distinct motor drives:
- one to precisely adjustthe unit vertically. This is achieved by means of dovetail slides and a gear reducer with a recirculating ball-bearing screw, driven by a self-braking motor.
The vertical position of each spindle is shovm on a digital display that can be easily seen by the operator:
- one for the tool holder body rotation;
- one for the radial roller rotation, with direct drive through a pair of bevel gears.
Thanks to its operating method, the MC-8 spindle gauges and levels slab surfaces superbly, while using the diamond tool in the most technologically correct way.
Consequently, there is a drastic reduction in the gauging costs with respect to alternative systems, which have now become obsolete.

If a pattern asks you to slip a stitch, there are two different ways that you might do that. The first one is to slip as if to knit and the second is to slip as if to purl. It's very easy. If you are going to knit a stitch, you would be inserting your right needle into the left side of the stitch. So to slip a stitch as if to knit means to slip it that way. So you don't knit it at all, you just pass it over to the right needle.
If you were going to purl a stitch, you would be inserting your right needle into the right side of the loop. So to slip a stitch as if to purl, you're going to slip it that way. It's a small thing, but it really does make a difference in how the stitches are mounted on the needle. So here's a slip as if to knit. Here's a slip as if to purl. Slip as if to knit comes from the left side. Slip as if to purl comes from the right side. That's how to slip a stitch.

Determination of the concentration of limewater solution in g dm-3 as accurately as possible against a standard solution of HCl acid
Extracts from this document...
Introduction
PLAN The aim of my investigation is to determine the concentration of limewater solution in g dm-3 as accurately as possible against a standard solution of HCl acid. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT LIMEWATER Limewater solution is a clear coloured saturated Ca(OH)2 produced when calcium carbonate (limestone) is decomposed to form calcium oxide CaO. Water is then added to form CaO (quicklime), to produce slaked lime. Again, excess water is added to form Ca(OH)2 , limewater. Limewater, which is an alkali is used principally in medicine as an antacid as a neutraliser for acidic poisoning or treatment of burns. Limewater as an alkali would have a pH scale of 9-14. I am going to set up my equipment in the form of an acid/base titration since it is a way of measuring quantities of reactants and can be very useful in determining an unknown concentration or following the progress of a reaction which is related to my investigation. The reaction is between an acid (HCl) and alkali, (Ca (OH)2) and therefore it's a neutralisation reaction. In order to determine the concentration of limewater in an experimental way, it is very important to use the most appropriate equipment available. ...read more.
Middle
I am going to use a graduated pipette in my experiment as it will help me to achieve a more accurate result compared to one that is not graduated. I am going to repeat my investigation 3 times to make sure I get reliable results. The titre volumes must be concordant to 0.1 cm3 for maximum reliability. HAZARDS OF CHEMICALS The chemicals that we will use are limewater and hydrochloric acid and the hazards are: Hydrochloric acid is very corrosive and irritant. Limewater (alkali) is irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system. Its reaction with water is vigorous and generates heat. The reaction between these two chemicals will also produce calcium chloride and water both of which have no hazards and is not dangerous. Phenolphthalein, which will be used as well, has no dangers to health and will not react with any other chemical to produce anything dangerous. The chemicals and concentrations I have access to are; * Limewater (250 cm3) containing approximately 1g dm-3 of calcium hydroxide. * Hydrochloric acid (exactly 2.00 mol dm-3 concentration) * Distilled water (to dilute acid) * Phenolphthalein indicator solution In order to be safe in an experimental environment, I am going to use a list of safety equipments. ...read more.
Conclusion
10. First record the reading of the burette at eye level so that you don't misread when measuring. Then release the solution of HCl into the pink coloured limewater solution whilst observing the conical flask and gently swirling it. When the colour start to change halfway between pink and colourless, add the HCl drop by drop by doing this the end point could be reached and you will not be under it or overshoot it. Stop adding the HCl when the pink colour changes to become colourless and record the result from the burette. The white tile underneath the conical flask helps to give us a better view of the colour change. 11. By reading off the side of the burette what volume has been used will give you the volume of HCl acid required to neutralise the alkali. However the result is not accurate enough and anomalies do occur therefore the test must be carried out a further 3 times for any accurate results to become apparent or I can keep repeating the titration until successive titres are within about 0.1 cm3. Each time you make a reading you must be careful to note the starting volume of acid in the burette and the end volume making sure there are no parallax errors. ...read more.

 the result from the experiment will be inaccurate Second, the chemical to be used should have high chemical stability.

Creating an Image of a Computer over the Network _URL_ _URL_ Sat, 11 Feb 2017 19:29:37 +0000 _URL_ Continue reading "Creating an Image of a Computer over the Network"]]> This was unique one. Had a user that kept running out of disk space. Plan was to image her drive to a bigger drive (150GB SATA to 500GB SATA). Problem? She works past 5PM, no upcoming vacation.
DISK2VHD to the rescue! We can use this program to dump a copy of the disk to a VHD file to a network location after hours. Imaging 109GB over 1Gigabit network took about 2 hours. Note that Windows 7 can mount VHDs, but not VHDXs. If you are an idiot like me: you can convert a VHDX file back to a VHD file using the command Convert-VHD within PowerShell on Windows 10.
Now we mount the VHD as a drive in Windows using the disk management snap-in (diskmgmt.msc). Then I used AOMEI's Backupper to do a disk to disk clone. The resulting copy needed a partition resize to use all available space on the new disk, so I had to blow away the 300MB Bitlocker partition at the end to expand it in disk management (we don't use Bitlocker on desktops).
Pop in it and boom: works!
This also works for P2P conversions. I took a guy from an Optiplex 745 to Optiplex 3020 using the same method. Upon booting Windows, I got the the famous 7B BSOD. I used the P2P adjust feature from Paragon's Hard Drive Manager 15 Professional and was up and running after adding the correct drivers.

Deploy Infor XA Client with PowerShell _URL_ _URL_ Thu, 04 Aug 2016 00:22:23 +0000 _URL_ Continue reading "Deploy Infor XA Client with PowerShell"]]> Here was a fun installer to get working silently. This one uses something called InstallAnywhere. It is a java based installer and if you Google InstallAnywhere silent, you will happen upon several command line options. The correct set for this version of the installer (2009 version) can be found here.
Here's the command to install it silently:
xaclient_Hgenas400_P36001.exe -i silent
We can also record settings into a file and play those back. To record:
xaclient_Hgenas400_P36001.exe -r C:\temp\powerlink.properties
Finally, we end up with this to install silently:
xaclient_Hgenas400_P36001.exe -i silent -f powerlink.properties
The installer launches the program at the end: I didn't see any settings to turn that off.
The PowerShell code starts off pretty boring:
$p = start-process .\xaclient_H

custom attribute involves three steps:
 1. Assigning the AttributeUsageAttribute attribute to your class.
 2. Writing the code to define your custom attribute class.
 3. Creating the parameters for your class.
Assigning the "AttributeUsageAttribute" To Your Class
The "scope" and other characteristics of your attribute should be specified by the use of the AttributeUsageAttribute attribute.
Note: In Visual Basic, use of the AttributeUsageAttribute attribute is required on all custom attributes. Applying the AttributeUsageAttribute attribute to a class:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All, AllowMultiple = true, Inherited = false)]
public Class QualityCheckAttribute : System.Attribute
{
 // ...
}
Notice the use of "AttributeUsage" vs. "AttributeUsageAttribute". By convention, all attributes are named with the "Attribute" suffix - but the suffix can be omitted when used in code. This holds true for user defined attributes as well; the QualityCheckAttribute attribute could be referenced as either:
[QualityCheck] // or...
[QualityCheckAttribute]
The AttributeUsageAttribute has three members: ValidOn, AllowMultiple and Inherited.
 - The ValidOn member accepts AttributeTargets enum values, and restricts your attribute to the code types you specify. The default value is AttributeTargets.All. You can confine your attribute to classes, enums, return values or any of the list below:
All (any element) Delegate GenericParameter Parameter
Assembly Enum Interface Property
Class Event Method ReturnValue
Constructor Field Module* Struct
*Module refers to a portable executable (.exe or .dll), and not a Visual Basic standard module.
You can also combine target types as a bitwise OR operation to specify multiple acceptable values:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)]
 - AllowMultiple is a boolean value that determines whether or not an attribute can be applied more than once to a given member. The default value is false. The example below illustrates multiple instances of the same attribute on an element of code:
[QualityCheck("Scott Baker", "02/28/06", IsApproved = true,
 Comment = "This code follows all established guidelines. Release approved.")]
[QualityCheck("Matt Kauffman", "01/15/06", IsApproved = false,
 Comment = "Code quality much improved. Minor revision required.")]
[QualityCheck("Joe Schmoe", 01/01/06", IsApproved = false,
 Comment = "This code is a mess and needs a complete rewrite")]
public class MyClass
{
// ...
}
 - The Inherited member determines whether attributes set on a class will be inherited by classes further down the inheritance tree. The default value is true:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class AttrOneAttribute : Attribute
{
 // ...
}
// This attribute will not be inherited
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = false)]
public class AttrTwoAttribute : Attribute
{
 // ...
}
[AttrOne]
[AttrTwo]
public class ClassOne
{
 // ...
}
// This class inherits AttrOne from ClassOne,
// but not AttrTwo
public class ClassTwo : ClassOne
{
 // ...
}
Defining A Custom Attribute Class
 - Attributes are classes that inherit from System.Attribute, either directly or indirectly:
public Class QualityCheckAttribute : System.Attribute // direct
{
 // ...
}
public Class FinalCheck : QualityCheckAttribute // indirect
{
// ...
}
 - Attribute classes have the AttributeUsageAttribute attribute:
[AttributeUsage(AllowMultiple = true, Inherited = false)]
public Class QualityCheckAttribute : System.Attribute
{
 // ...
}
As previously mentioned, the use of AttributeUsageAttribute is required in VB. In C#, it is automatically applied with the default values if not declared.
Creating Parameters For An Attribute
Attributes accept two types of parameters: positional and named. Positional parameters are defined by public constructors in your class, must be in the order defined and are required; named parameters are defined by public properties, can be in any order and are optional.
Positional Parameters
Positional parameters for an attribute are defined by the constructors in the class. As with any class, constructors can be overloaded and a default constructor that takes no parameters can be defined. As with any other class, the signature of the positional parameters must match the signature of a constructor in the attribute class:
public class QualityCheckAttribute : Attribute
{
 public QualityCheckAttribute(string Name, string Date)
 // ...
}
Named Parameters
Named parameters for an attribute are defined by public properties defined in the class. Named parameters are optional and are declared after any positional parameters. The IsApproved property demonstrates a named parameter:
public class QualityCheckAttribute : Attribute
{
 private string _name;
 private string _date;
 private bool isApproved;
 public bool IsApproved
 {
 get {return isApproved;}
 set {isApproved = value;}
 }
 public QualityCheckAttribute(string Name, string Date)
 {
 // ...
 }
}
Keep in mind that a variable in your code can be both a positional parameter and a named parameter. If we were to add public properties for the _name and _date fields we could use them either as named parameters or positional parameters. Of course, this is not a recommended practice: required parameters should be positional and optional parameters should be named.
Assigning An Attribute To A Code Member
You have already seen examples of assigning an attribute to a code member. However, there are some points that must be clarified.
 - Disambiguation is the clarification of the use of an attribute on a code member.
 - Syntax - there is more than one way to apply multiple attributes.
Disambiguation
The code below isn't clear as to whether SomeAttribute applies to the method MyMethod or to its return value:
public class MyAttribute : Attribute
{
 [SomeAttribute("Hello")]
 public string MyMethod(aString)
 {
 return aString;
 }
}
Disambiguation resolves these issues. By specifying the code type the attribute is applied to, we are able to resolve the confusion. The code below shows that the attribute applies to the return value:
public class MyAttribute : Attribute
{
 [return : SomeAttribute]
 public string MyMethod(aString)
 {
 return aString;
 }
}
The table below lists all declarations where attributes are allowed; for each declaration, the possible targets for attributes on the declaration are listed in the second column. Targets in bold are the defaults.
Declaration Possible targets
assembly assembly
module module
class type
struct type
interface type
enum type
delegate type, return
method method, return
parameter param
field field
property — indexer property
property — get accessor method, return
property — set accessor method, param, return
event — field event, field, method
event — property event, property
event — add method, param
event — remove method, param
*Reference: Disambiguating Attribute Targets (C# Programming Guide)
One would think that the AttributeUsageAttribute's AttributeTargets in an attribute's definition would help to prevent this confusion: one would be wrong. The compiler does not use the AttributeUsageAttribute information when resolving conflicts. Even if you define an attribute to apply only to a specific type, for instance AttributeTargets.Return, you must still clarify that it applies to the return type when applying the attribute or the compiler will use the default target method type, and throw an error.
Syntax: Applying Multiple Attributes
When applying more than one attribute to a member, there are two ways to do so:
[AttrOne(...), AttrTwo(...)]
 // or...
[AttrOne(...)]
[AttrTwo(...)]
The two are equivalent. Keep in mind that if you are going to specify more than one attribute in a single brace, they must apply to the same target type. If not, you must give each type a separate declaration:
[return : AttrOne(...), method : AttrTwo(...)] // <-- invalid!
 // instead, you must...
[return : AttrOne(...)]
[method : AttrTwo(...)]
Retrieving Attribute Information At Runtime
Being able to declare and apply attributes is not very helpful unless we can retrieve that data and do something with it. Fortunately, its a straightforward process. There are three basic scenarios that will be addressed:
 1. Retrieve a single attribute from a member.
 2. Retrieve multiple attributes

Washington, DC—Below is a statement from the President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez, on the one-year anniversary of the American Rescue Plan Act being signed into law:
"When the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in America nearly two years ago, mayors across America faced an unprecedented crisis. Necessary measures taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 meant that tax revenues dried up almost overnight, forcing cities to cut services at a time when their residents needed them more than ever. Mayors of all political persuasions recognized that for America to have a strong recovery, a strong federal investment in America's cities would be required.
"Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike called on Washington to act, and mayors are grateful that our colleagues at the federal level heard our call and passed the American Rescue Plan Act one year ago today. Since this legislation was signed into law, mayors have been hard at work making sure these funds are used responsibly. Whether its filling gaping budget shortfalls, restoring city services, fighting homelessness, addressing mental health issues, helping people re-enter the workforce, or just keeping the lights on for the most vulnerable Americans, this financial assistance has been a lifeline for many communities during one of our most trying times.
"Now, mayors are looking ahead. Not only has this funding helped us address the problems that arose as a direct result of the virus, but it has also allowed our cities to invest in our local businesses and economies so that America has a durable recovery. With 85% of the U.S. population and 90% of our economic output coming from cities, it is clear that America's metro areas will be the engine that drives America's recovery in the years ahead. Mayors look forward to continuing to responsibly implement these funds, and we thank lawmakers for working closely with mayors and making local funding a priority."

The White House Sets Sustainability Goals for Federal Agencies
Targeting a 26% Improvement in Water Efficiency by the Year 2020
The White House issued an Executive Order on October 5, 2009 that sets sustainability goals for Federal agencies and focuses on making improvements in their environmental, energy and water efficiency, and economic performance.
The Executive Order, signed by President Obama last week, requires Federal agencies to set a 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target within 90 days, increase energy efficiency, conserve water by improving the efficiency for water usage, reduce waste, reduce fleet vehicle petroleum consumption and support sustainable communities.
Among the environmental measures mandated by the order is a 26% improvement in water efficiency by 2020.
Demonstrating a commitment to lead by example the President stated that the federal government can and should create innovative ways for each agency to develop and carry out priorities to assist in meeting their sustainability goals.
